This is not true: you can set the Camera application to use the front camera instead of the rear camera......then, we can open a discussion on what it is useful for, maybe self-portraits ?

flashlight when camera starts

does anyone know how to enable the light on the back to automatically come on when the camera starts. Right now i have to click on the screen then click settings then click flash light, i would just like to skip all that. thanks
up and up and up
This feature would actually make the camera act like a camera....lol
Really wish HTC and Microsoft would finish their programs. It seems like they start it and quickly make everthing work....sort of.....lol
waiting for this too...

to go left or right you actually need to click between the buttons (ex. between home and call) there is actually a youtube video teaching people how to do it.

well you are correct, it still hit the ok if i go fast but i can live with that but i still want my flash to come on when the camera comes on
thanks for the tip and making me look stupid lol
for athena it is not a setting in registry. just DeviceIoControl calls to set led on and off, while camera program is running. i wouldn't be surprised if touch pro is the same :/
in that case easiest i could think of is make a small app that does:
1) look in registry for setting if flashlight should be on or off when starting camera
2) load driver (or the camera api dll) and send the ioctl for ON if the registry value is set so
3) then it would launch the camera exe and then exit
4) whole thing would be registered in place of camera program for programs etc
(or patch camera app but that would be a bit more than a couple of bytes long patch. )

That sounds logical. It could actually poll the light sensor when the camera is run and then turn on the flash...

I don't think it polls the light sensor unless somethings wrong with mine cause i just went into a dark room waited about 30sec then turned on the camera and no flash unless i turned it on manually

I was implying that if someone could write a script or something that they could poll the light sensor to see if it was dark. Then tell the camera to turn on the flash.....lol
That's what i wish would happen. Thanks for testing it out though...lol

What about skipping the polling and just having the flash on every time the camera is on day or night. Girls love a flash going off.
Maybe there is a command line for this?

Auto flash on camera??
Is there a rom/cab/file/tweak that gets the cameras flash to work automatically as opposed to having to manually turn it on - this is silly!

it's semi-automatic if you turn it on, it's only lighting half's its power. When you take a shot it's flashes
However, you're absolutly right, we need more options
nope, i couldnt find it. In the past there was an other HTC model (dont remember which one) who also had a flash light but also didnt work aswell.
This is in development right now. There is a thread regarding this. I am just to lazy to search for it today.
cool well its good to know its in development, i cuoldnt find it either - Xperia has the saem problem
strange really but hope they sort it out its time cnsuming and annoying - seeingas we are able to use things like Htorch i cant see it being a big deal unfortunately i cant cook otherwise id be on it
any news with this?

Have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
There is a trial in that thread. I have been using that app for years, and it has been working great on all devices, but I haven't installed it on my N6 yet.
Thanks for the link mate bit too much for my wallet but cheers for the heads up

It is expensive. I've also used it for years on many different devices. I think it used to be cheaper than it is now but if I had to buy it again at full price, I would. It has a lot of options to ensure there is always a way to get the best compatibility with which ever device I get next. Its always had the most consistent audio quality of any of the other recorders I've tried.
I can't recommend this enough. Try the trial. Then try some other apps.

Try Boldbeast call recorder. Manual recording mode is free. It works without setting SELinux to permissive.
Cheers mate i had a go but its not saving the file (well it does but its null nothing) is there any settings i need for the nexus 6?
thanks again

Settings and app for the Nexus 6 (when the app asks to set SELinux to permissive, select no because there's no need for that):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56397550&postcount=4
On Lollipop 5.1 the app force closes after a phone call but it still records the phone call (worked perfectly on 5.0.2). The developer has promised to fix the FC issue.

I tried everything, but it just crashes. I even tried deleting the app's data.
This helped for me. Try to hold on the app and run one of the function: "Make selfie" or "Record the video" after that camera will work, but sometimes when i launch camera on the common mode, i have a black screen again.
How good is it? Care to share some side-by-side photos? (stock -> google camera)?
Does it enable cameraapi2?
Thanks in advance

In the other thread there are several comparison pics. I doubt you can get it working without canera2 api which needs root to enable. Without HDR+, whats the point of having gcam?

camera 2 api doesnt need root. just needs an unlocked bootloader. I would be better if we spam tweets to mi to unlock camera 2 api with next update as nokia 6.1 plus has it enabled out of the box.

Question 8K Time Lapse for S21U?

Hi, I guess hard to get 8K30fps, but how to let 8K Time lapse possible? Third software can't use 108MP camera, that's the point. Thanks!

Yes you can... i think more then 8K. Because worh 40mp you can make 8K, woth 100mp you are making more?
How to make? Easy. Just download application Intervalometar, make settings how many photos, time, and etc... you will see it. Hope to see your timelapse soon
Yes, even more than, 12000*6750, point is, Intervalometar can use that 108MP camera or not, most of third app only 4000*3000, let me try now.

Intervalometar is a tool. And that app can use every camera app which you want. So that meen Samsung camera app can be use with 100MP.

Don't worry it is not hard at all. You have so much tutorials on YouTube.
You need just to configure:
1. How many photos or infinite,
2. How much time do you want or infinite,
3. How much time between the pictures you want it to be so that the picture again,
4. And at end locate a red circle wher is the camera shutter button
That's is all

Question Call Recording

For some time now I've been looking for a smartphone that has a call Recording function that records incoming and outgoing calls without downloading any third-party app . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The funniest thing is. There are ZERO regulations in India with regards to that. It's in fact promoted, to prevent personal/professional abuse. And still Xiaomi and OnePlus have moved to the crazily Orwellian Google dialer.

You're right, reviews shows that the CE 5g comes with a Google dialer too=hopefully not in every region)
Hey! I got the phone and yeah, it does come with the google dialer,m personally i like the google dialer over others but oneplus dialer was GREAT. Why would they do that?
Also it does have the call recording here in India. I think there is a little alert that tells other person that the call is being recorded but other than that it works great.

All Samsung phones have call recording built-in since last 2-3 years incl S8/9/10/20/21 and their variants and M or A series of last 2-3 years at least incl M31 etc.
Before that I had been using some apps I think on S6 and such but it was frequently a headache with issues like low volume of other person voice etc.
Now it works perfectly

In the following thread they explain two ways to have the OnePlus phone app. The first is without root (you will also need the jtools application and make the call recording work through a fastboot command) and the second with magisk and a rooted terminal. Both work on Nord CE 5G (I have tried both methods)
Guide: How to use OnePlus dialer with call recording in OnePlus 8T/Nord
Hey everyone!! Greetings from my side. We were trying hard to get 100% working oneplus dialer and messaging app in oneplus 8t. and Yes, We have successfully done it. I am very happy to share the guide with you all :) WITHOUT ANY ROOT METHOD...

Note: so that OnePlus contacts do not give problems, they do not grant permissions for the "call log"
