I downloaded a 3rd party camera application and I love it. My question is how do I set that to be the default when I press the camera button. I looked in quick launch and didn’t see anything for the camera key. I don’t have ADB available until later tonight so if needed id prefer a terminal code. This would be a big help considering I have to keep an icon of it on my screen and go to it and click instead of just hitting a camera button!
Thanks in advance!

It would have to be a setting within the application itself. Which camera app are you using? Camera Zoom? I know snapphoto has an option for you to set it as a default camera

Sorry if I ask a question wrong. Do not know much English. Searched the internet, found no answer. On my device LG 4X HD firmware CM10.2 does not provide a function awakening using the volume buttons. Buttons mechanical, as all devices, but if the other devices that I have used and use, this function can be on/off settings, LG is generally not provided! I don't understand what the reason. I tried and tried to change the files in the folder keylayout, and set the program to unlock shaking, with a proximity sensor, light sensor and so on, which are 2 minutes after switching off. Nothing happens, it is logical to assume that the device goes to sleep and shuts down everything. Although the programs I've set these permissions present phrase - not to give sleep to the device. How can assign a revival on the keys of the volume that rule?

Maybe someone has a solution? Put please keylayout folder on a replacement. Maybe except that folder should be something else in the system to rule. ROM CM 10.2. Save advance.

In fact of the matter is that through the program ButtonRemapper nothing changes. It does not see the buttons for replacement.

Established. It does not unlock the screen for no button, except Power. By the way Widgetlock does not work! This problem should be solved in the system, but I do not know what to edit and where.
Hello, I'm having issues with my N6 after the Marshmallow But I am facing a problem that for each application, I am getting screen overlay detected. If I follow on screen instructions, in settings, I can't change permission. i cannot upload any images from my phone to facebook,instagram basically any app trying to access the drive on my phone. can you guys help solve this issue.
thanks,
A quick Google search for "screen overlay detected" found a lot of results indicating this is due to screen filtering apps that modify the screen brightness, such as Lux, Bluelight Filter, Twilight, etc.

Yes, they also prevent you granting root access to apps too. Lux is the most common. These apps put an overlay over the UI. Android protection prevents you pressing "serious" buttons in case it is the overlay working to malicious intents.

okay. I have called google support for five nights and not one tech support person was able to help me. After countless hours of fiddling i figured out how to fix this problem. Put your phone in safe mode (press the power off button and press on the on screen power off icon until it asks if you want to go in safe mode. Press okay) then once it reboots, go to settings, then apps, click on the facebook app or whatever app you have the problem with, press permissions and then turn on all the permissions (toggle to the right and it should turn green). Repeat for whichever other apps have this problem then turn reboot the phone and voila! It's fixed. :d

I was thinking going back to Lollipop, then you saved my days. This "Screen overlay detected" was driving me nuts as I have tons of apps that requires "Draw over other apps" such as Sidebar Launcher, SuperSU, Widgetsoid, Rotation Manager... almost 30 apps. So every time I install new app I virtually have to turn off the "Draw over other apps" for all these 30 then set the permissions then turn them on again. It's so frustrating. And if I stupidly reset permissions for all apps then virtually most are unusable. Now with Safemode I can grant an app all the permissions it requires without turn the "Draw over other apps" off.

Best solution out there. Tnx.
@jokeinc I don't have twilight, lux, or any CM apps. Your solution is the only solution to have worked for me. Thank you so much!
I have a Samsung galaxy s6 and it didn't work for me, i have tried everythings but the only way is go into ultra power safe mode and from here i was able to activate permissions for whatsapp. For activate the other apps i don't know what to do.
Sorry for my bad english but i'm desperate??
@Zack909: Desperate and in the wrong forum. This is the Nexus 6 forums. You'll need to ask your questions in the Galaxy S6 forums, as your device has Touchwiz, which our devices don't run.

Thanks but i solved the problemi. I just unistalled CM Locker
It's good you solved your problem. You shouldn't be running anything from Cheetah Mobile, as every single app they produce is pretty much junk.
Grrr
Omni swipe program can also cause this disable it or uninstall
For me it's just SwipePad that I use which has an always on overlay. If you know what apps are overlaying I've found a workaround you can setup. Ideally an app shouldn't have an invisible overlay permanently hogging resources so you should find and disable them permanently if they're unwanted anyway. An app like Elixir with it's "running" processes/services filtered to User can help finding the culprit.
So I use a workaround to quickly disable an overlay for permission toggling. A "Task Shortcut" that uses the Tasker Greenify plugin (don't know if pro is required) to Hibernate the overlay app/s, Wait for a configured time and then Wake. Note that the wake process takes five seconds to finish.
I open my shortcut from SwipePad itself for it to disable for ten seconds while I click away at permissions to my hearts content. When the time is up it resumes working normally and all is well :highfive:

I don't understand what you're doing. Your link is to a Task Manager Shortcut for Galaxy S3. I can see how Tasker could be used, but I don't understand how this app would be involved.

Oops, my bad. I'll fix my post. The app is AutoShortcut.

This is because of the apps that are using "draw over other apps" feature. You can just turn them off from settings. If you want a head up on how to do this, you can go to this link here. Fix screen overlay detected

i'm ready to put my phone in the garbage disposal over this error. i can't get rid of it and can't even download a simple APK file from chrome without getting it. I've done everything suggested in every youtube video and what you said above.
i turn off screen overlay for every app shown, which is about 30 and i have none of the so called problem apps installed.
i go into safe mode and try to turn on a permission and I STILL GET THE SCREEN OVERLAY ERROR. i have no idea what to do or what is wrong.
When you hold the menu button it opens the google search. Is there a way to disable this? Or at least change the button delay time.
Settings/apps/advanced/default app settings/assistance and voice input/assist app
There you can change it. Probably the "deepest" setting on the phone :silly:
I set it to turn the screen off Btw, with an app called screen off and lock.

Apologies for revisiting an old thread but this was the only place I found this solution.
Might be common knowledge for some but I wanted to highlight for other Huawei owners to try this.
In particular, this works also for a Huawei Y6 2017 !!
[NB: system is EMUI 4.1 on the MYA-L11 version of Huawei Y6-2017]
I recently bought my dad a Huawei Y6(2017) and installed easy-to-use apps for basic functions but the smallest delay in releasing the home button (maybe 1/4 sec or so!) was opening Google Search -- this was potentially going to drive hime crazy -- exactly the type of thing that would make him give up on his first smartphone!!
Being much more used to stock Android settings, I just couldn't find an option to stop or disable the long-press of the home button
tldr; As per the instructions, I set the buried option "Assist app" to "None". Job done.
Many, many thanks
hi everyone,
I have the following question: I'm trying to create an intent to launch the camera in video mode and start capturing. The launching is ok, but the capturing not. Maybe somebody could help me with an intent for it.
I'm using org.cyanogenmod.snap
note: I tried simulating camera button, but this didn't work.
I don't want to use any plugin, such as autoinput.
thanks in advance
Stock Camera doesn't have record intent, the only option you will have is to use autoinput or key event to start recording.

if not using intent, but key event, could you please recommend a task? I'm just looking for a way to do this without any plugin.
Well, as every phone (screen) and also camera app are different from each one, you will have to find your specific x/y coordinates. But the command is 'input tap xxx.x yyy.y', and don't forget to select use root.
Did you lunch the camera activity with 'android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE'? (just a question for my info)
-----------------------------------------
I forgot to mention that there are phones that its camera app doesn't have direct play/record button, so will be necessary to follow different steps.
And another way you can accomplish that is by using key events.

nice suggestion, thanks!
For launching, I use VIDEO_CAMERA
It seems to be working now with simulating camera button press.
