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 guys,
So, as the thread says, i am having a problem with screen positioning, its landscape mode and i want it to go portrait mode, BECAUSE i have a damaged X1, some microchip is damaged, and the only buttons working is the turn on button and the camera button, but everything which goes for the touch is working perfectly.
SO, when i start ANDROID system, i always get it in landscape mode, and as none of my buttons work, i cant just "slide out and slide in" the telephone to change the view, so is there any way to change the default starting view ? maybe to change some kind of code or line in settings ?

Yes , it will be, but i tried to repair it, i repairmans told, that this device is unrepairable... So i either throw it away or manage to use android ... Can anyone help ?
On some of the iPad knockoffs running android, they put only the home button on the device, and put software buttons for back and menu in the top right of the screen. Maybe you can find some way to get that?

As for the rotate, when I press the menu button on the home screen, it seems to realise that the keypad is in fact closed and rotate the correct way. So if you can get the menu button up there, then press that on the homescreen and it should rotate to the correct orientation.

You can maybe remap the keys like this:
Camera focus = back
Camera = home
Power = menu
But I don't know how to do it.

Camera focus is already mapped to back button in "Froyo FRG83 - Android 2.2.1 Beta-Release [06-11-2010] from neopeek", but camera is mapped to turn off.
Also with that configuration, how would you turn off your device or put it into standby?
@tads999 calm down dude. Remember that YOU need help, not us. So don't yell at guys that want to help.

Take out the battery to turn off.
Have a timer that enters standby after some minutes if nobody touch it and listen to all working keys so he can exit standby.
And if I would have his X1 I would be pleased if it could run Android.

i mean, asking to remap the keys for me,
LOL, got a brilliant idea, i will try to remap the key which enters when u slide ur phone out and in, if this will work, i will be able to run android perfectly ;D
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

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
Welcome. I'd like to know if there's possibility to disable turning on camera in sleep mode by holding any volume key. It's almost the same option like in G2 (expect that vol+ activates Quick Memo). I found an information that G2 TweaksBox lets user to disable that shortcut. It appeared that this function needs to be paid. I don't want to pay for something that I'm not sure is going to work. Anybody knows working (the best would be free) method to disable this thing? It's annoying that I take phone out of my pocket or put it back and accidentally camera turns on. Please help.
Try this:

Sorry the app I posted was for the lockscreen, doesn't seem to work with the hardware button shortcut.
The only way I've found to do it is through Xposed..
So the only option is to pay?

Hi all.
Currently running CM13 Unofficial on my Mi5.
It appears as though my hardware home button on my Mi5 has failed... Hard press does nothing....
This started on my previous ROM 16/09/2016, and continues on my new ROM 22/09/2016.
I strongly suspect this is a hardware issue rather than a software issue...
My question for you guys is how do I reassign buttons? Is it possible to make the right capacitive (currently app switcher) the home button?
Also, my preferred button to use as a home button would be the soft capacitive touch on the fingerprint scanner on the home button so i can retain my app switcher button....
Any help guys is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
When Xiaomi releases Kernel Source there will be an option for non physical home button. On rr you can reassign more options to your buttons. Cm does not work on my device.

If your home button is broken, then maybe you should enable 'on screen' (software) buttons from Buttons submenu in Settings?
Capacitive touch is not going to work on prebuilt kernel (every ROM so far, wait for CM's big update).

Have done so. Cheers for the suggestion.. I didn't know this option existed!
As for the capacitive buttons not working, I've seen this mentioned a number of times... My capacitive buttons have always worked since flashing CM?

Yeah, fingerprint to unlock and such.. What about touching (not pressing) home button to return to the launcher? That's what everybody wants to have (and waits for proper kernel)
