[Q] Disable Autofocus sound ICS FE10

Trying to get rid of that damn autofucus camera sound.
I've deleted the five .ogg files on the folder /system/media/audio/ui/:
Cam_Stop.ogg
Cam_Start.ogg
camera_click_short.ogg
Shutter_01.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
Then:
Created file: "local.prop" with value of
ro.camera.sound.forced=0
copied it to /data
Rebooted
and STILL get that flippin autofocus sound!
Anyone have any ideas?
Currently running Stock rooted FE10 (via sfhub) with plus kernel.

Calks ICS v1.5 has the camera sounds removed. Download the rom and check the zip what's been removed maybe. I know Calk's roms are as close to stock as possible with multiple tweaks and fixes to make them more efficient which is why I stick by them. If you just want me to rip the camera out and make it flashable, let me know.

I'll pull his camera apk and push that and see what happens, thanks.

Here's something that looks like it will work for you too:

I checked one of the flashable zips and its not just the camera.apk but also a media file that it replaces also.

There should of been a camera_focus.ogg.

Due to the law in certain areas, some of the camera sounds are now locked in the actual .apk file.
Either learn how to edit this yourself and remove the sounds, d/l a rom with it already edited and replace yours or get an aftermarket cam.
I opted for the first one. It really isn't that hard to learn to do.

Camera360, Angel Cam Dx and numerous other cam apps have options to mute. Camera360 is one I really like and its free on the play store.

Got it done with the apk mod. Those laws were enacted by moronic lawmakers, who don't understand technology, under pressure from more fearful people, because of the low life creepers doing 'upskirts' and other weird sh$t. You know protect the kids etc..
But having your camera zip, zoom and wiz at a recital makes you look and sound like an ass. And could cause a parent to get his ass kicked for making noice while another's is on stage. ;p

Multi-window feature: How to enable other apps?

With the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, you can have 2 "special" apps display on the screen (e.g. Play Store and Chrome) at the same time:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How do I get other apps to be on this "special" apps list?

Unfortunately, I am not rooted
Wonder why Samsung advertises this feature, but only allows some apps.. I mean, how did some of my 3rd party apps make it on that "special" apps list? e.g. Astro File Manager, but not ES File Manager.

I have no idea why samsung did this. I guess to promote their apps? But you can manually decompile your apps and add the proper code to the android manifest.xml file. I might, might, be able to right a windows program that could do this for you. Or maybe even an android app.. i'll have to think about the process.

I am familiar with unpacking a .apk and modifying the manifest file, and repacking it for reinstallation.
If someone could post what I need to add or edit in the manifest file to get the app to appear in the "special" multi-window-able list of apps, I'd be set.

Video recorded and played with MPC or VLC in Windows 10 is showed face down

Video recorded and played with MPC or VLC in Windows 10 is showed face down. Some articles talks about the issue of the camera position, but I don't know that the file stored contains the video rotated.

Yes, with the Google Camera App that comes with the Phone. The record was in UHD quality, I don't test it with 1080p but I think that the result will be the same.

known issue for a while now..
Pure stupidity on google/LGs part. they placed the camera image sensor against the android specs recommendation.
Now the software must be updated to fix it.
This impacts many apps (eg: bank apps which scan check images, bar-code scanners, qr code readers.. etc)........
The IRONY is .. most of the third party apps have now been updated and they fix this issue. However, GOOGLE.... hasn't yet fixed the native camera app. they are busy preaching developers of other apps to fix the problem.. Crazy, but true. Sucks.

I'm having the same problem videos looks fine played ba"k on phone & when copied to Pc & playednon Windows media player & latest vlc, older vlc & video editing software show the true orientation, upside down & copy to a flash drive & plug into tv & also upside-down. I have checked the video meta data & the rotation is 180 so that software can rotate to display correct way up.
I guess most users won't be aware of this fault as they just playback on there phones..
Does anyone know if Google is working on a fix.
This is a massive fault as you cannot change the orientation afterwards so all my 4k Christmas videos can never be transferred to a USB stick & played on 4k tv.

To stop nexus 5x recording upside-down videos you Have to hold the phone left handed then videos are correct way up.
Hope Google fix this as most people are right handed, anyway you should be able to hold the phone anyway you want.

Could somebody do a slight mod of the native Camera App?

Hi
Tried out a lot of those Google Camera Apps lately. While some of them are pretty nice, I would still prefer to use the LG-camera-app, especially since it's the only one with 4K60p, HDR-video, etc.
However the overly aggressive noise reduction and sharpening (and this aquarell kind of filter) destroy a lot of otherwise good pictures.
I saw in one of the GCam Mods you can actually choose between different libraries.
The settings for the JPG- and video-processing are saved in those.
Would it be possible to add the same option to the LG-camera-app?
Or maybe not even an option, but just the app not using the standard-libraries (located I believe in /system/vendor/lib/camera/).
Currently you would need root to replace those files.
Of course someone would still need to edit those files properly.
Projects like that were already done for other phones. Most of the time though they're talking about "chromatix" libs, which I couldn't find on the G7.
However the libs in /system/vendor/lib/camera/ have similar names. Maybe they were just moved there by LG.
I wish I could do that myself, but so far, I didn't even manage to fully decompile the LG Camera App apk, which someone posted here.
(I have also almost no knowledge in Java, let alone C++ libraries. )

Good idea! I Hope someone Can do It!

Bring back the LG V10 camera and that would do it! V10 vs G7 camera below check on computer to see the real difference in details. WTF happened LG.

I decompiled the camera apk the other day with java show and I tried to search and understand the code but I wasn't able to understand (it was my first decompiled code and I am only in 2n of IT). So maybe someone with more experience could see the code and change the value of the image processing and noise reduction.

APKTool is supposed to be ther best tool for decompiling.
However it gave me an error-message of missing frameworks.
Reading on its site, I need to install the LG-Frameworks, which are on the G7.
But I am not sure, which exact files and where to find them. :/

defcomg made a tweaked lib that lowered noise reduction for the G4 in the past. Maybe we can port it...?

It would probably be easier to just edit the LG G7 libs to turn down the undesired effects.
However this solution only works with root or a modded app, which can use libraries not being in the specific root-folder.
(And as far as I understood, with root you don't get OTA Updates anymore, right?)

Any progress on this? Could someone make a tutorial on how to modify libs?

[Q] Screenshot to Text?

Hi!
So, on my jailbroken iPhone XS I have a genious tweak that I can click on when I take a screenshot, where it converts the text on the screenshot-text into actual text you can copy.
Anything that does this seamlessly on Android? (Running Galaxy S20 if it matters)

Plenty of 'Image to Text' apps to choose from on the Play Store

The issue with "regular" apps is that I need to do a screenshot, then open the app, find the SS and then convert to text.
Is there no way of implementing such a thing into the OneUI for example?
So another icon will pop up when I do the SS-shortcut?
Or even making a new shortcut that would "automate" this?

What about edge panel?View attachment 5047209View attachment 5047211

You'd have to ask Samsung about OneUI implementing
The way I do it is just hit the "Share" icon after taking a SS, and share it to the editing app I want to open, pretty much feels like it is part of the SS app that way

This is most likely the best way to do it by far!
Not used to Samsung, so the "share" button wasnt as obvious to me as it should be - but this works very well with Google Lens.
Thank you

No probs :good:
Yea the share feature is very handy for a lot of things, for example you can set up a shared folder on your PC, install Total Commander and the LAN plugin, connect it to the shared folder, then you can use the Share feature to copy files to the PC from the phone via WiFi, select the file > share > total commander > find the PC shared folder > done
