Stop camera from starting on boot?

Anyone know if the Camera app can be prevented from starting on boot? (Perhaps a little contrary to the spirit of the camera, but I use it more for development than for taking pictures, and I don't like the lens motor wasting its time and wearing out its parts). Does it use the "normal" autostart mechanisms that might be disabled by something like Gemini App Manager, or is the camera start up built specially into the guts of the android version on this thing?

Don't know about the details, but enabling the screen lock (swipe to unlock) in settings stops the camera from starting when waking the device with the power button (doesn't stop the start after boot though).

Well, it stops the lens cranking out immediately on power up, but as soon as you do swipe the screen, you are in the camera app and the lens pops out. I'm looking to avoid the camera app completely. I guess if I get up the nerve to root this thing, I can try out an app manager and see if I can disable it on boot, but I'd hate to do unnatural things to the camera and then find out it didn't do any good .

If you are on the home screen when you switch off it will not open into the Camera app.

That depnds on how "off" is is. Once the suspend or hibernate or whatever it is expires and it goes "fully" off, it always starts in the camera.

Are you sure you really turned it off when it went to your homescreen without starting the camera app?
When starting from fast-startup or on a clean boot it will always start the camera app.
The only time it doesn't is if you had it in standby.

A work around is to use this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Use it to set links to your favorite applications.
When you boot to the lock screen pull down the notification bar, select the app you want, then swipe to unlock and it will open in the app you selected.
Of course it would be much easier if Samsung had simply enabled lock screen shortcuts

It would be really nice to disable the camera on boot. It would also be nice to get rid of this stupid mesage:
"SD card inserted. Change storage location to SD card?"
I thought there was a thread for that, but can't find it now.

I only started to get this message since the new update, it appears as though the SD card doesn't get initiated before the camera app loads and in turn thinks you've inserted a new card, when it finally does get loaded. Either they need to put a delay in place or somehow not load the camera app until it's established whether there is a card installed or not.

Disable the BOOT_COMPLETE permission in the camera app but make sure something else has it or you boot to a blank screen.

how can we disable a permission ?
is there a simple app for that ?
Thanks.

XPosed Framework and the App Settings module will allow you to adjust the permissions.

Thanks. However, As far as I know Xposed framework is for 4.2+ devices. Camera has 4.1.2, so where can I find that Xposed framework ?

Ok;
I've found and installed Xposed framework with App Settings module.
The app that I should change permission is com.sec.android.app.camera , right ?
When I try to chenge its permissions, it says "Shared packages not yet supported"
so ?

Get the latest files a quick Google search for Xposed Framework should get you to the right thread as I don't have it to hand and try it then. The settings asp changes from "Xposed Settings" to "Asp settings" in the latest version.

I got app settings from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541
It says "App settings" as you say. so it should be the new version ?
but it does not change shared packages.
where else can I find it ?
---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------
my version is app settings 0.4 and it is also discussed here that "shared packages are not supported":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36029129&highlight=shared#post36029129
are you sure that it is working for you ?

I still couldn't solve this. Can you tell me which version you've used for this ?
thx.

I hope for the same.
They have one for the Galaxy Note 2.

I come from a blackberry where it's a stock function, i used to have it on my nokia N97 also so i'm kinda used to it, so it would be nice if someone could help me out and make me happy!

No one?

Try an app called eXperience Pro. Can be found in the Play Store, need to be rooted tho.

Okay i'll try, thanks! I am rooted so that won't be a problem or else i wouldn't be asking for a mod here
Edit: it is a paid app and i don't have a creditcard...

I found it!
I used the Xposed module "TweakBox" and it works perfectly!
Only when screen is locked though, but that's fine for me

You got a link?
Did a search and just found one for a Galaxy s3 or something.

Yes thats the one, you gotta install it and then check the settings. I think miscelanious

You have to install the xposed framework first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then reboot then install the tweakbox thing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then set it up and then go to xposed app and in the modules tab mark the tweakbox and reboot.
It only works when screen is off

to make it work with more apps, the apps need to have call the correct api. In other words, you have to integrate the api into the apps itself.
For notifications, I use Light Flow and it works perfectly.

You simply turn it on in the accessibility menu and then chose which notification for which you want to configure the led. After that you can change the color of the lights, frequency of the blinking and when to dismiss the lights.
Its pretty simple actually. Try and let me know.

After pressing test you need to lock the screen to see the led test. Try that. :good:

I've been told it works if you select device Xperia U

Hello all !
I recently bought an Xperia SP, and one thing is embarrassing me. It's that the notification bar is active when the battery gets low. I think this a totally absurd option but anyway I tried the two app mentioned in this thread but no results ! I rooted my device and give the right to Light Flow but nothing (The test is not working either) !
So ... if you have any solution !
PS: Sorry if my English is bad, I'm French =P (Don't beat me xD !)

I managed to get it working by selecting Xperia U as suggested, but that doesn't seem to be able to disable the default functions such as low battery notification, it just lets you manage other apps.

Keyboard shortcuts missing

I noticed after turning my phone on one day that the keyboard shortcuts (back slash from long press on "m" key, ETC) were missing. The only change ive made related my keyboard freeze swype and uncheck google voice typing since I didnt use them. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I have a screenshot of the issue.

If you use wanam xposed, there's a system option to enable keyboard symbols. You can give that a try.

Yep tried both of those things, still not there.

Mine done the same thing after installing xposed framework. Make sure to go into exposed framework and click on modules then check to make sure Wanam us enabled, once that is done reboot phone, then open Wanam and click the "so keyboard symbols" then reboot using Wanam in the notification bar. Should be there after that. Or at least for me they were.

Yea I seen that, I was mainly just wanting to point out the part about making sure Wanam is enabled inside exposed, I've read a few article on here before where people will forget to enable it or not know that after downloading a module that you still physically have to go into xposed and enable it. Hopefully you get it figured out.

I was able to get them back finaly with the fix noted here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171449
I think the issue may have had to do with wanam and the "keep my extra CSC" features because my features.xml was actually blank, and reportedly wanam messes up your features.xml
So for future refrence, if your keyboard symbols are missing the fix from that link should work, all thanks and credit go to him.

After installing the xposed module and Wanam xposed I also lost my symbols. But I fixed it buy using root explorer and going into: system/and csc/ you will see 2 feature.xml files. One is feature.xml and the other is feature.xml.bak. Rename feature.xml to feature.xml.bakk then rename feature.xml.bak to feature.xml. Then reboot. Now the symbols are back on the keyboard.

unable to install modules

hi. today i wanted to install the exposed torch but was very surprised to see that i can't.
in fact i can't install any module. the install button does not work. it's like it is there but i can't press it. cancel button works but not install.
it was a long time ago since i have installed a module so not sure when this happened. tried clearing cache for xposed installer but no go.
the touch screen works in that area so it is not a touch screen issue...
check out the screen grab

If you're using an app that uses a screen overlay, like Lux for example, then disable it or whitelist the package installer.

It's a security measure in Android to prevent malicious apps interfering with the package installer.
It's a common question around XDA, so that's how I knew the probable cause of the issue.
Anyway, happy to help.

sorry for replying in old thread, but how to whitelist the package installer?
I use the lollipop call app but I can't press the accept button, the reject button is fine, I think it because the security in android.
