Develop Bugs

(REQ) SAMSUNG S4 Air gesture & air view

Has anyone try to port any of the Samsung s4 native software to ZL...like air gesture or air view for web browsing...it uses the camera so maybe it can be ported...
Third party software like wave-o-rama has try to make something like air gesture for gallery app but it is buggy and hard to detect your hand...
Just a request, if its possible that is...maybe it's a gimmick software but I think it's neat to have it and I think these two work pretty well...I've use it and like it a bit...
Thanks for anybody who interested...don't get mad ok...^^

Not possible. The s4 has a dedicated motion sensor next to the ear piece. And the screen has hardware to detect something hovering over it. Its not software. Only things like smart stay, smart scroll, and smart pause utilize the front facing camera. Maybe look into the optimus g2 forums or optimus g pro. They have most of these features as well

I can confirm it's work.. You just need root in order to enable air gesture in browser and gallery . find it in Playstore or XDA version at Apps Development section .

Have a good day!

the only benefit that i got from this is that my free ram never drops below 1.5GB.. so thanks for this dev
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda premium

Don't flash this...it really doesn't add any benefit accept maybe the RAM optimization,and it does not add the knock on/knock off feature.
LG has the feature in the LG G Pro Lite which has half the specs of the regular G Pro. Maybe they will update us one day.....

It's great for me. Knock off works well. I have the spanish e986 with rom g2 apps ported from xda and with this launcher I got spanish language for the launcher, cause some parts of the rom are in english and I like spanish as well. Thanks!!!!

cm?
I'm going to guess that this does not work on cyanogenmod and such
Nope. Checked. Doesnt work on cm11, not even the launcher works

if someone could develop this please to make tap to wake
thank u for the hard work
i have this tweak on Nexus 4 with Touch Control and it s works great
now i am on G pro and i missed that option

If u wanna try stock based rom .. check out my g2 rom that has knock on working.. with kernel enhancements
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app

Knock on for anything but the G2 is kinda a cap shoot. The G2 has a lot more sensors to pick up the knocks. Also, the knocks on feature has been proven to use battery.

[Q] camera lacking

Howdo everyone,
I briefly had an LG G2 at the start of the year (a week till i sent it back to orange) but i really liked the various option on the camera. ive now got the G3 but find that there is virtually nothing in the camera other than the basics? Am I missing something or is this on purpose? Is there any way of installing the camera app from the G2 onto the device that offers these options?

It's set to default point and shoot.. choose the three dots menu and there you can change things (yes it's not as functional as past devices apparently - seems to be a common complaint currently.)

LG tried to reduce their bloat by taking out things that most people do not normally use. For example I had a Note 3 which had 10-15 different camera options not including filters, I never used any of them expect for HDR mode. I'm glad that LG removed all of the unnecessary features, but they should have allowed users to optionally install them. LG also should have added in a way to turn off the shutter noise without us using tweak box.

They do this because it's illegal in some areas to turn off the camera noise.....

I know, but I still wish you could turn it off like on the Note 3. I like running ART so I uninstalled tweak box.

With the G3, you can completely silence the shutter sound if you turn the phone volume completely off

I have a UK LG-D855.
Just tried it again, it definitely works on mine. You have to turn the volume down on the home screen, then open the camera as the volume buttons take a photo on mine.

Must be. I would have thought the UK would have been the opposite though.

UK Phones allow camera shutter to be turned off. - Most asian and other EU models don't allow it due to legalities.

just go to /system/media/audio/ui and delete all camera sounds. done. sound gone.

[TA-1043] Strange behavior trying to pull down status bar

While the phone is lying on a table or on bed, if you try pulling down the status bar, using just one finger without touching the sides of the phone, it just won't pull down, it would like block the touch for that even though it'd register touches for usual taps and swipes.
Even stranger behavior is while it won't be pulling down while it's lying on the table and the sides of the phone are not being touched, if you even slightly touch the side of the phone and then swipe down status bar, it'd work perfectly. That's one of the strangest things I've seen in a phone.
There's no issues while holding and using the phone btw.
Please answer back if you're facing the same issue or try replicating what I said with your device and report the behavior below, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Can you make a video? If I understand your post right, it works fine on my device.

Not able to make a video atm as no other device is with me. Would love for other people to reply as well as I'm pretty sure it can't be my particular device's defect.
I've found people reporting very similar things for surface pro on this thread here if you wanna understand what I'm saying better

Here's a video from someone in the Nokia forums acknowledging the issue I reported and made a video.

I tried it again few times, and it works fine for me.

Try turn off gestures?
Setting > System > Gestures > Swipe fingerprint for notifications.

I have not seen this, but you can set the fingerprint reader as a tiny touchpad which can be used to bring down the status bar.

Portrait video?

I keep hearing that the LG G8 can do portrait video but I'm unable to find that setting. Can anyone help me?

I haven't opened my G8 yet (Tmo) but just like any other phone portrait mode is just the angle you're holding your phone? Im sure you dont need a setting to rotate it to portrait or landscape. Just my thoughts anyway.
