Hi,
Do you know how to take pictures with the Xperia screen OFF ?
This would be very convenient to take a picture of an article you plan to buy in a store without having everyone looking at you strangely !
Thanks for your feedback. Chris
I have investigated on this : it might be possible to do this using the HTC Camera app (I currently use XperiaCamera app).
Is it possible to install HTC Camera on a phone already having XperiaCamera ?
Regards, Chris

Yes, but still not sure how you'd get the screen to be off.
normally when the screen is off it's because you pressed the power button
which don't just turn the screen off but suspend the device
to save power which in the process disable camera and everything else
but one can assign blanking the screen to a button which unlike suspending the screen don't disable any features but the display on the screen itself
I have tested it is possible to turn the screen off without turn the phone off. Mortscript or SKschema are doing this for example.
The problem is that this do not work with XperiaCamera because the software really force the screen to be ON.
I think it should work with HTC Camera, but how can I install HTC Camera on my Xperia phone ?
i thought about this also
couldnt you use the htc camera but change it so the screen backlight doesnt go on or doesnt display the image and then use some button to take a pic?

I could, but I need to have HTC Camera on my phone.
My question is: where can I find a .cab to install HTC Camera on Xperia ?

hi all.. currently using one or two apps such as diamond tweaks, sensorlock etc, but havent found a way to do this.
What i need is a way to turn off the screen completely (ie zero light) instead of dimming it. I know standby will turn it off, but this will also kill my apps.
Is it possible? Any apps/tweaks?
Subscribe, I have searched alot myself to do this but with no success
DiamOff from Montecristoff will fit your request
I use SPB Pocket Plus v4.0.2 which has a screen toggle option. With the Buttons plug in you can use a hardware button to activate the screen toggle.

Which rom are you using? And which camera (HTC or SE, version?)
Thread moved to general forum as nothing to do with ROM development
I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.
Maybe this one will be interest for somebody
root needed
Nice! I'd be more interested if you could do unlock via soft keys as we had in Hero , i.e. home and menu, as I find the power button is too recessed for easy access.
Not sure if softkeys would be too easy to trigger by mistake tho ??

There is a hack for this but the menu key etc on the hd are not active when the screen is locked so it doesn't work. I did it today but you have to press power then the keys become active and you can use menu etc to unlock. Pointless as you still need to use power button first. The hero's keys were hard buttons as is the desire. It worked great on the desire. Unless anyone knows a way to have them active while locked? My power buttons a nightmare as it's not very clicky and really recessed. My wife's hd power button is much easier to use. Anyone know a way to have the soft keys active all the time?

Thanks for this app, i was waiting for.
Power button isn't as practical as your app to power down the phone.
Thank you mate.
Very Nice.... I like it.
But can you please Chance the Icon for me?
Im not able to do this myself.
I would like something like that.
Back and white with a bit gray or shaded would be very nice

In technical terms,yes- it would circumvent the process of having to use one's digit to find aforementioned hard power button and then depress said button.

Lol, maybe I didn't want the technical version after all. Dumb it down so I can understand. I'm have it installed but I don't see it doing anything. I have an Evo. How does this work (explain normal).
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU.
Its just a app to lock the phone and turn the screen off. Not sure if it works on evo
Ok thanks buddy, Uninstalling.

Dunno if this is doable but have you seen the screen lock on the new nexus that was seen at recent web 2.0 summit. Its kinda like the effect you get when u turn off an old crt TV. Could you implement that instead of the current fade effect? Ta
here i send you the perfect icon for me.
I hope you can do this. This would be very great.
Can you make the white corners transparent?
If you cant please make it black...
Im looking forward to you work

Look first post for update.
Hello, thanks a lot. its look very very sexy.
The only problem i have is with the "More Icons Widget"
That shows me the old symbol.
I think thats not you Problem. So i will check that.
thanks!
Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again.

i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical

I'm busy now, but will look for your feature request in few days. Most of everything is possible
hello
iam looking for application turn on the screen by remapping the hard capacitive keys. not the sound rocker or the power buttons.
any idea please?
i tried most of applications and xposed modules but not work, also all the application using the sensor, turn on the screen by swapping only which make the screen on all the time whenever the sensor moved front of any thing.
also application with turn on by taping the sensor is ok for me.
could you suggest guys?
thanks in advance for all

you need a custom kernel for that to work, check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/#kernels
Please only flash things appropriate for your phone and ROM.

Hi.
Does anyone know is to possible to set camera in manual mode by default when launching via camera button or lock screen shortcut ?
It's launching as I want only when I tap the camera app from the drawer. When launching from lock screen or dedicated button it always start in this crappy auto mode.

I think such a thing (if possible) can only be done with root.
It's also annoying me, but it's been like that on all previous phones.

well, I just got mine and on one of the home screens I have a whole row just for the camera. There I can pus a little "settings" button in the far right corner and I can select which camera shortcuts to have there, one of them is "manual". Have you seen that?

He means when using the camera button.
It always starts with superior auto. When starting the camera through the app, it does remember your settings.
So I have to wait for some nice custom rom fixing this issue

On the Z1C, this couldn't be changed with root as well, so I guess we'll have to live with that. Maybe Android L fixes this.
Any news on this having root already on our devices?

An update recently came out, called Lollipop, and I guess it fixed that issue as seen on the preview.
www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=ul-e29UwwHY
This issue has not been fixed. I'm also still looking for a way to disable superior auto mode and always start the camera in manual mode when pressing the hardware camera button.
Hello there, I tried it with the xposed module xposed additions pro, but even after several tries I had no luck. I'm rooted on stock 5.1 and I'm sure there is a way to change the behavoir of the long press action of the camera key but I didn't find it yet as I'm very new to this phone. Let's share experiences!
cheers!
