As a torch...I use mine literally all the time. Rinses the battery but beats carrying a proper torch.

[Q] How to disable screen capture sound with Tasker?

Hi,
I am using a TW-based ROM (Criskelo) and I'd like to disable the screen capture sound without having to completely mute the phone.
Preferably I'd rather not delete the actual sound file as I'd have to do it whenever I upgrade the ROM.
I already did something similar to mute the camera sound with a Tasker profile, but I can't see a "screen capture" event or app in Tasker.
Have I missed this in Tasker?
Thanks!

You can cut it from its original location and paste it to another location usimg root explorer. Whenever you upgrade it you can put it back to its original location. As simple as that.

Is there a way to automate that with Titanium backup I wonder? I'd really would like to avoid too many manual tweaks after each upgrade, especially if I don't upgrade for a while I'll forget all this...

You can mute camera shutter sound by going in camera settings.
Screen shots sounds will be gone too.

Ah indeed the ICS Camera App has a Shutter sound Off setting, but it doesn't turn off the screenshot sound on my ROM (Criskelo)

Light Flow on Xperia TX JB

Has anyone been able to use Light Flow or any other LED control app on the Xperia TX since it got the JB update? I had been using Light Flow fine on ICS previously but now can't get it to activate the notification light which I have grown accustomed to
Which app did you use?

Have tried Light Flow and Light Manager but haven't been able to get it to work. Phone is rooted too.
I am currently using Light Flow on my Xperia T. Have you granted it permission through accessibility settings?
PS. It is a major battery hogger!
Yes I have done that, seems odd. Funny that, I have noticed much better battery life since going to JB :laugh:

Well i dont know what else to say other than uninstall it, reboot and install the latest version. Haha well it's always one of the top apps in battery stats.
Working in my Xperia TX
Sorry to know that but it's working perfectly on my Xperia TX in spite of being upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.3).
Make sure the access to notification is turned on in Settings>Security>Notification Access. See if 'Light Flow Light' is checked.
And also make sure all the settings of the Light Flow is set correctly.
Try formatting your phone and installing back the app. If still not working, it may be because you rooted the device.
If you use Light Flow Lite just for the LED notifications of some apps, try the app from Play Store which works better for this purpose in Xperia phones ie. 'Illumination Bar Notification' and after installing it, set the device model to 'Other' in the General Settings of the new app.
I use Light Flow Light just for the Network Signal LED and very few more things as it has no LED control over apps like WhatsApp, Skype etc. in the free version.

[Q] Changing camera app for physical shutter

Hi.
I'd like to know if I can change the app that opens when I use the physical shutter on the Z1 from the stock camera app to one that I've downloaded. Thanks.

Why do you want to make it brighter?
I think it wouldn't be good to change it as it could damage your led

I was also looking for a way to brighten up the Torch, This Helped, i just wish i could make that brightness work on Photo snap instead of turning on flashlight mode in camera
Download one of the following packages based on your interest.
Extreme Version – Torch Only → Click Here to Download
Medium version – torch, camera, flash, notification LED → Click Here to Download
Extreme version – torch, camera, flash, notification LED → Click Here to Download
Transfer the mod file to the root of your device’s SD card. (Just for convenience)
Now put your device into the recovery mode. For this:
Switch off your device and wait until proper shut down.
Power on the device and when you see your phone’s LED notification light turn Pink, (might be other colour based on device) start pressing either the Volume UP or Volume Down key a couple of times.
Install the mod file by clicking Install and selecting the zip file from the SD card.
Confirm and flash the mod file.
Reboot your device.
That’s it, now test the brightness levels of your LED using any Torch app from the playstore.
Note: If you want to revert back to the stock version download the below package and install using the same process.
Revert back to stock → Click Here to Download

I tried the Extreme version on Xperia Z stock based rom (PureX Z v1.0, Android 5.1), and it works, and the torch is much brighter now.
Before, for some reason, the LED on the device is so dim that it's pretty much useless.

thing is i like the medium ver but none of them apply to the camera shutter brightness. the only way it applies is if you go to camera and hit flashlight mode then take the picture or video. i would like it to automatically apply when i hit my camera button.

yeah i guess it won't work for the Extreme version as stated, I just want it for Torch, never really used Flash for taking pictures, so Extreme works well for me
Does this require the phone to be rooted?

Does this require the phone to be rooted? I understand the need for the file to be in the root of the sd card for ease but can I do this uprooted? Many thanks.

[Q] Change default camera app

Is it possible to change the default app for the camera? I like that I can get to the camera by gesture but I prefer a third party app.
You can use any camera you want... But only the stock camera will work with the shake feature.

If you are rooted, twisty switch can change the camera gesture

Didn't know that.
Will it conflict with the moto feature though?
And it doesn't chew through the Battery like a dog with rawhide?
