[Q] camera not working properly after root, pic attached - Xposed General

This is what the camera looks like. taking up less space than usual. also none of the camera buttons / options work, i can only take photos with volume keys. cant change to front camera or adjust any settings
(Camers isnt using whole screen, the entire thing takes up only the top right corner.
Lastly, the bottom left touch button to flick between open apps/ programs isnt working either, and keyboard occasionally freezes.
And idea how to fix?
I rooted and using XPOSED.

Try app settings and change the resolution to the size of your screen and that should fill up the screen, not sure about your button problems

[How-to][Trick] Launch camera directly (Without loading)

Hi, I just discovered a simple trick to open the camera without the loading screen (the black screen with a circle and a camera in). It is as simple as this:
(LauncherPRO or any launcher/app that allows to make a shortcut of an activity):
Add>Shortcut>Activity
Scroll down to Camera and expand it. You will see 3 activities. First one will be com.android.lgecamera.LoadingCamera, and the second o.e is com.android.lgecamera.ArcCamera. Select this second one. It will always skip the loading screen and show the Camera directly
Amazing, I cannot believe they make the loading screen on purpose...

no they did not delayed it at all,
ive tried your method and it loads almost exactly the same time as the normal camera shortcut. (at most 10% faster)
the only difference is that they dont show you the loading screen, which makes the phone look laggy and may confuse users into thinking that they did not press on the camera app properly
To open the camera with phone showing the lockscreen ( dont unlock )
G button + Shake it

Which ROM are you using? Stock or NOVA?
For me, first start/after killing process:
Normal camera shortcut: Loading screen for 2 seconds, then camera opens
With direct shortcut activity: Directly opens camera, no delay at all.
Once camera has been opened, I press Home button (so stays in background, not pressing Back twice):
Normal shortcut: Loading screen for 2 seconds, then camera opens
With direct shortcut activity: Directly opens camera, no delay at all.
So there is absolutely a difference, and it's not only at first start. I made many tests before posting. There is a loading screen on purpose that, at least in my case, is useless at all. If it doesn't work for you, I'm sorry, but it doesn't mean it is not true at all.

That's a different thing, what I posted is to launch the camera from homescreen without the loading screen, not to launch it without unlocking. In addition, G button to launch camera doesn't work with WidgetLocker.
Omg! Works perfectly ahah
Definitely quicker!
work well for me, simple but usefull, load faster.

For me the G-Button works fine to launch Camera, even with Widgetlocker v.1.2.2.1

With LG Stock Firmware and G-button enabled as launch camera in lockscreen? (This one is hard to believe for me, since LG option is to launch it from its lockscreen, and really doubt it would work with third-party lockscreen. Besides, I tested it when I wrote it).
Or CM7/Nova/whichever firmware and G-button (key 95) set to as Camera button?

[Q] Questions regarding purchase....please answer:)

please answer some questions if you cant answer them all...
1. I saw there is a mod that makes the htc logo the menu button....does that also make the black bar go away in apps that have the black bar?
2. during gaming or swiping can you accedently press the back button? for example swiping from screen to back button activates it or not? (does it require a tap, or will a swipe suffice?)
3. how much does the GPU eat. how many hours could i play modern combat 4 for example? an average of time would be enough.
4. can i zoom in during recording slow motion videos?
i currently own a galaxy S4 wich has desame camera features....but all need to be set before you make the photo. the htc one just makes the photos and then after making them you can select those functions like drama shot and eraser wich is very nice.
the thing that i dont like on the htc one is a smaller screen size and afraid i will tab the back button every time.
1. With 4.2.2 you have the option to remove the menu bar, you can make it so that if you hold the home button, it acts as a menu, and swipe the home up for Google Now, and double tap home for recent apps. its in Settings/Display & Gestures
2. never had any accidental back button presses during gaming.
i cant answer the other two

thanks! have you tried to swipe from game/screen to back? will it activate it?
maybe is there a way to only make that button work doing a double tap?

1. The black bar will still be there on 1.2x ROMs, but with the 4.2.2 ROMs now circulating, it is removed by default.
2. I have never accidentally swiped until it hit the back button, but if you're having issues with that you can just turn the phone the other way round so that the buttons are on your left instead of on your right (assuming you're right handed)
3. I have not played MC4 (just bought it today), but it can play Asphalt 7 for about 3-4 hours before it rolls over and needs a charge.
4. You won't want to do any zooming of any kind on camera phones, cos it's digital zoom. Optical zoom is achieved when the lens in the camera move to give you a closer view, but digital zoom just enlarges the pixels on your screen and looks fantastically ugly.

Function of softkeys

I love the idea of softkeys. With it you can put bigger screens on smaller devices and they can disappear whenever needed to.
The main problem is that it's a 50/50% chance that they will disappear when I think that they should. With physical keys that's never an issue.
Movies, yes
Games, yes
Full screen applications, yes
etc.
What determines when the keys disappear and not? Is it up to the app creator? What can I do about it (I'm not rooted)?
They can't always disappear in full screen games. If the game needs a back button you would be stuck.
I assume there is something in there that tells it. Much like if an app does not have an on screen menu button (usually three dots), a menu button will be added to the lower right side of the portion of the screen where the soft keys are.
It's not there for all apps, only ones that don't have a menu button on screen. Not sure if this is declared by the app or if 4.4 can detect it somehow and show the button when needed.

On my tablet (running 4.1) I get these dots you are talking about (but not in the lower right corner, they replace the ordinary softkeys)). That's all fine because they take less space (from what I remember) then the ordinary softkeys.
If it all comes down to having a back button in the app, why not implement that in the app?
I downloaded crazy taxi yesterday and those softkeys are annoying me as hell.
I ended up getting used to using LMT and just turn on expanded desktop to make the navigation keys go away. That way if LMT gives me any trouble...I just hit the power button and turn off expanded desktop and my navigation keys are back. (Gravity box to get that option in power menu.)
Hated pie at first...but used to it now.

Bottom Part of the Screen Not Working

I damaged the bottom part of my phone
I wanted to know a few applications that can help me use the phone for basic functions like WA and calling.
I am on MIUI8 and I have enabled the Quick Ball, any other such applications will be helpful.
You could try a couple of different things.
Pie controls app lets you access a lot of things by touch.
Swiftkey in floating mode to type
Screen rotation controls app to rotate screen 360 degrees depending on how much the bottom part is broken. (Be careful else you will be stuck 360 until in uninstall the app, as the shortcut to switch back is in the notification bar)
Arrow launcher from Microsoft . Access as lot of things from the home screens.
I will let u know if I remember more applications.

Is it possible to port the old camera to the new Pie One UI

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is compatibility for the old camera app on the new One Ui? Or is it possible to port it now or in the future?
Two things make the camera a downgrade when switching to the new One UI, for me at least:
- You had a separate button for video and picture, so you were one touch away from taking either a video or a picture. I had a really nice setup where I could take a video with the volume buttons and open camera and take picture with 1 click of the Bigsby button. This proved really useful when i went horse back riding for the first time, or with gloves on when the screen is not responsive.
- More importantly: You had a dual shot mode where you could take pictures/video with both cameras at the same time. This was really useful when trying to fit more people in a picture, or even for me to be in there, and have a nice memory stored.
They also locked the Bigsby button so you can no longer disable it... again...
Search for the app on apkmirror and try installing it.

I agree with you. I would also like the previous functionality of having both the camera and video buttons on the same screen again.
As far as the Bixby button goes, you can use BxActions to disable and remap the button. It works pretty well.

I do use BxActions,but how do you prevent Bigsby from appearing when you press it? You used to have to disable it from the Bigsby app, and yo no longer have that option.

I disabled my single press function. I only have a long-press function for my flashlight. Bixby doesn't show up for me when I single-, double-, or long-press the button. Occasionally it'll show the icon at the top and it did open Bixby once, but I couldn't figure out under which circumstance that was and I couldn't replicate it again since. Bottom line, Bixby doesn't show up for me when I press the button.
