[Q] Gyroscopic camera

Or gyro stabilized camera.
My train of thought might be too naive; (phone has gyroscope, phone has camera, why not!) but really is it something possible to give to our DHDs? A videocamera with which no matter how the phone was rotated, the horizon in the recorded video will always stay horizontal. They got used in MotoGP.
Here's a video example for anyone unfamiliar with them - skip to 40seconds in
motogp.com/en/videos/2010/Rossi+debuts+Gyroscopic+OnBoard+camera

Anyone got any idea? Or maybe I should actuallt ask in general android apps.

It wouldnt be impossible but it would take quite a lot of processing power and would take a lot of time to make. And I'm not sure if anybody has that sort of time.

You sure the phone has a gyroscope? Your not confusing it with the accelerometer are you?

And that isn't the correct way to build it either.

Oh ok, thanks a lot. That provided some food for Googling on these things.
Silly marketing got me again; so a g-sensor is actually an accelerometer which is different from a gyroscope and not as accurate at measuring movement (tilt/pitch in specific). DHD has accelerometer only while iPhone 4 and upcoming Sensation are also equipped with a gyroscope (or gyro-sensor).

Active Display

Hey guys,
I have the Moto G 4G/LTE (XT1039)
Recently, I have been unsuccessfully attempting and working around for ways to make "Active Display" to work on our phones... No such luck!!
So, I decided to try and experiment with possible replacement apps that can do the same or similar job...
And the best replacement app I have found so far to "Active Display" is:
• AC Display
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
This app ? Is definitely my favorite.
Works well and is fully compatible with the Moto G sensors and even with the lock screen using the music player as well.
I really liked the look of the Deprecated version:
• AC Display (Deprecated)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.activedisplay&hl=en
? But the sensors don't work!
I also tried:
• Dynamic notifications
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=en_GB
But I found this app being faulty on my phone, and the sensors definitely unresponsive or other times working the wrong way around...
So, if you guys have any other suggestions?
? Please share your thoughts and suggestions!

??? ? please can you elaborate?
"Amoled display" for what?
I'm really trying to understand your point, but I fail to understand your logic.
Saying that, I understand that you are only repeating the same comment from other forums participants.
? If you download "AC Display (Deprecated)" you will find that is the exact carbon copy of "Active Display" from Motorola. Unfortunately the sensors on that app don't work. The App was "Deprecated".
The reason for that, was that the developer was worried that Motorola would put a stop on his app development.
(Check is comments on Google+)
So he changed the layout of the app to stop the obvious resemblance to the Motorola app and he launched the current "AC Display" that does a similar job to the original with working sensors as well, but with a different esthetic look.
The app is still in development.
My point here is:
Not so long ago we didn't had "driving mode" and "home mode" on the Moto G.
Today Motorola finally give us that.
In the exact same way they can give us "Active Display" taylored for our phones.
In reality, Motorola/Lenovo can easily give us some power saving version of Moto voice if they desire, since they have already give us the home and driving mode.
? Everything is possible, for as long there is a will, than there is a way...
But realistically they will leave the premium options for the more expensive Moto X.

i think than you..
according to me an obstacle for the touchless control and the active display of motorola is the presence of one micro processor dedicate to this functiones..but everything is possible..
motorola developers have tried to porting a version lite of the active display ... this is established from the presence of the process Active Display Lite..

The active display from the moto X doesn't work on the Moto G because the moto X has an Amoled display which can turn single pixels on and off.

AC display works well on my moto g XT1033, was searching for this kind of app since 2 months. Thanks alot. :laugh::good:

[Q] Smart Screen ?

G4 does not have "Smart Screen" setting to keep the screen awake while you're looking at it. Is it me or am I missing something ???
Any input ?

I'm having the same problem. I really hope I'm just overlooking a setting.

I really hope so too...

Idk about a "smart screen" but it should have a sleep setting..
Sent from my S5 using your mom

Coming from a G2 and G3, smart screen setting never actually worked for me, especially in dark rooms..
I must be doing something wrong.

Ok but where is the setting ? That's what the thread is about...

On my 811 I can't find it either.. Or guest mode

On the G3 it's under General > Gestures. I can't find it either on the G4. They removed the Gestures menu. I did find the call and sound gestures under the Call menu (where you can turn the phone upside down to mute the sound, etc). Perhaps the smart screen is buried in another menu. I looked at the logical Display menu, but it was no where to be found.

even the tv off feature when turning off the screen has been removed as well; so sad that this is one of my fave feature also.

Its in the application manager under all apps and has the option to force close. Maybe we need a way to launch it like in a task launcher.

Yeah the smart screen and screen off effects were both removed. Don't know why, but I emailed Lg to ask and they sent me an email saying that they were very sorry and would forward it to the right department so that my voice can be heard.. I asked about not having guest mode/user profile too as the Tmo edition doesn't have it either.

I called LG and there is no way to enable smart screen. It's in application manager they just forgot the settings for it.

They just forgot to enable the settings for it. That sounds like a major QC error. I love LG, but this phone does sound like it was rushed to market, at least in the US, as it seems most of the issues are on the US versions. It could also be the carrier crap, uh, software, that they added is causing issues.

Theres other apps that use facial, but facial sucks at night and isnt as accurate as kinscreen. I used kinscreen even with my Note 4.
KinScreen doesnt even show up in my battery list

Yeah to me the third party facial recognition apps suck. Kin screen is tge best of them, but I prefer the one Lg had.

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you.

Great app, and very useful!

Thanks. This works very well and hardly uses any battery (despite the warning).

Thanks, works perfectly. I found this on the play store first when looking for something that added this functionality. I ended up turning off the wave/hold to shut down screen because it locked the screen even though smart lock should have kept it unlocked.

You are welcome.
I have been pointed out that to programmatically lock the screen, one needs device administrator permission. But after locking the screen, smart lock doesn't work. So it is an Android limitation.

Yes, and your app did correctly ask for admin permission and did lock the screen correctly. I assumed that it was an Android issue as opposed to an issue with your app.

I am now running LineageOS, which does not have Moto Display...So logically, your app will not work (yet . Would someone please post apk's for Moto Display and related files (if any)? Thanks!

I had made a similar request, but someone told me that to make Moto Display work on custom ROMs, you would need to make a separate kernel.

Is it possible to wake up the screen without Moto display being active ? I don't like the "stock" moto display feature(moving the phone to activate).

You can disable Moto Display. But the phone won't be activated. I will add a feature to activate the lock screen of the phone in this app.

Thanks for the quick response !
Looking forward to this feature !

Nice application.

Thanks, working pretty good. The selfie mode was really missing.
Did some test scans which turned out pretty well for a first try.
Now I just would need a proper editor where I can do some alterations , cutting etc.
Has anyone got some suggestions for editing?
I'd dream about putting my scanned head models on a virtual body to let them become "virtually alive" ?
I found Meshlab but think this is just the beginning and maybe not the ideal tool for me.
