It seems like a lot of the tasker apps have more potential to build off gear motions than is currently utilised. Does it seem viable to record gear motions to set as triggers for different apps like tasker and atooma?

When i had the Gear and the Galaxy S4 (using Atooma app on both devices) i had assigned phone actions to watch movement triggers. It was very easy to do and did not require tasker, root or custom ROM. For example shaking the phone vertically enabled/disabled the 4G data connection.

I can do those simple ones with atooma, but its basically just vertical and horizontal shake. The stock wakeup gives the impression more complex motions can be mapped, like I'd like to set it up so that when I scratch my ear my phone fakes a phonecall.
LG D958, Stock 4.2.2. When using useful function "hide front buttons" in specific apps, I've noticed some problems with performance, especially in graphics-rich apps. Tried gfxbench, onscreen mode 25.6 FPS vs 33.1FPS. The same with Real Racing 3 etc and it become difficult to play. Seems like stuttering in render. I doubt that the extra 72 pixels may affect performance so much. So it would be a disappointment if the problem is not corrected in 4.4 update, this function become useless in 3D apps . Is it possible and can anyone send report to LG about this bug? Thanks.
Hi all,
I know FlyAudio head units are not very popular in Europe or US (since they are not being sold there officially).
However if you have G8 or G9 series (Android 4.4/5.1) installed in your car you may be intrested in this app.
Fly Control Center is my app which extends functionality of FlyAudio head units and provides some additional features:
== Free features ==
- Launch Google Voice by pushing Speech button on steering wheel (Speech function should be mapped to the button using built-in FlyAudio settings).
- Speedometer in notification bar.
- Autoadjustment of volume depending on speed (free version have only one speed limit available - 40 km/h).
- Change of speedometer's color in app's main window depending on speed.
- Launching FM radio in background.
- New! Calculation of distance travelled and average speed during a day and showing it in notification (may be incorrect, still experimental)
== Paid PREMIUM features ==
All free features, and:
- Ability to make phone calls via connected phone's SIM-card (by Bluetooth). You can use most of third party speed dialers as well.
- Make phone calls via connected phone by saying "Ok, Google, call [name]"
- Decrease volume during voice input when FM radio is playing.
- Autoadjustment of volume depending on speed - all 3 custom speed limits are available (you can set speed limits values and an amount of volume adjustment)
- Launching PowerAmp and Google Music playback in background.
- New! Sound notifications when reaching certain speed limits (two different sounds for two limits)
- New! Double click action can be assigned to Speech button, including app launch or MODE function (cycle through 3 apps).
- New! More players were added to app/mode launch action and autostart function.
The app can be downloaded from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter
Don't forget to install this free plugin as well (required for Google Voice function to work properly): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iflytek.autofly

Hello,
No, the app does not change anything in the firmware or OS. It even does not require Root to work properly.
This app is basically a 3rd party launcher but a little bit more customizable for cars and FlyAudio head units in particular. It can be installed and uninstalled without any consequences (which is additionally guaranteed by the fact that it is distributed via official Google Play store).
So, you can safely try it and leave your feedback if you have any
Could you be the original firmware developer by any chance?
What particular feature do you expect to get? Maybe it can be achieved without firmware modification.

Correct. Because this is not a software but a hardware issue on devices from Israel.
Hi, guys!
I have a nice news: FCC v.2.0 is released for beta-testers.
It is a completely rewritten application. Now this is basically a fully customizable Launcher which even supports the Android Widgets!
And of course it has all good staff from FCC v.1.0 and some more (e.g. widgets with FM stations frequencies and ability to assign station names, autoplay the last player on device start and many more).
Since this is still in beta, you should make some simple steps to be able to download it:
1) Sign in for beta of FCC Launcher itself - https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter
2) Sign in for beta of FCC Plugin (this app helps to assign custom actions to steering wheel Speech button) - https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.iflytek.autofly
3) FCC Starter (this plugin helps to autostart the main app on device wake up) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.flyaudio.navigation
Your feedback (good and bad) as well as bug reports are welcomed!
Rog phone 2 has two air triggers on its right side. Though everyone knows about it, there are really cool things we can do with it. I thought about using it in third party apps apart from games.
There is a workaround to make use of air triggers for camera shutter.
Unfortunately this didn't work on default camera app. But it worked flawlessly on Google camera mod. Here are the steps i followed:
1. Install gcam (i hope you know where to find it)
2. Go to armoury crate
3. Click on add game (+ icon)
4. Add gcam to the games list
5. Open gcam and switch the phone to landscape mode
(Click on rotate screen icon on the bottom right corner)
6. You need your phone to be in landscape mode so that air triggers would work
7. Swipe from left and set up right air trigger for shutter (tap) and
left for vertical swipe in order to navigate through (camera, video and nightsight)
8. Enjoy...
I've looked into this before, but curious if anybody's found any decent open source, or free, camera alternatives with support for the Note 10 Pro lenses. Not the decompiled ports of gcam, anxcamera, or leica camera.
There's Open Camera, but it doesn't support the lenses. The only one I've found so far that supports the lenses is FreeDCam, though the lenses are just numbered Front 1, and Back 0 - Back 6. And if you choose Back 6, it hangs.

I have been using open camera and it does support all cameras in my device. They are indeed just numbered, and there are a few glitches, but it does work and takes great shots.
Make sure you have enabled camera2 api in settings.
I've installed OpenCamera again and selected camera2 api (I've tried that before, too). But I still don't see the lenses. Where do you select them?
A while ago i've used Snap Camera. Found it quite useful und extremely customizable.
Snap Camera HDR - Apps on Google Play
A Fast, Full Featured HDR Camera App, Gallery and Photo Editor.
play.google.com
I dont know if there is a free version available, since I thought this after testing it.
Does it support the extra lenses on the Note 10 pro?
I'm testing LineageOS now, and Open Camera does show the extra lenses with it, which I couldn't see with xiaomi.eu. It has a button to cycle through the lenses, though it still hangs on the last lens. I'll try using it for now, since I've used Open Camera before on my Note 4x, so I'm familiar with it.
From what I can see, these are the cameras/lenses available on the Redmi Note 10 pro that are exposed to Open Camera.
0 Main Back Camera
1 Front Camera
2 Depth Sensor (B&W) - not useful
3 Macro
4 Ultra Wide
5 Main Back Camera Better Quality Photos
6 unusable
7 unusable
8 unusable
Both 0 & 5 are the main back camera, but ID 5 produces significantly better photos. I'm not sure, but I suspect when accessed through ID 5 there's some internal pixel binning happening. ID 5 won't work for videos, though.
I was able to modify the source code to ignore ID's 2, 6, 7, 8 and change the order the cameras are cycled. So it cycles in this order when the multi-camera button is pressed:
0 Main Back Camera
5 Main Back Camera Better Quality Photos
3 Macro
4 Ultra Wide
The front/back camera toggle button still works as usual (and resets the back camera to 0, as usual).
This was the change I made to MainActivity.java. It requires Android Studio to change, build, and generate a new apk.

I did some more testing with Open Camera and cameras 0 & 5. I'm still not sure what the difference is, but camera 5 has a longer exposure in auto mode, and results in a brighter picture that seems to have less noise. But the lighting/exposure is not always accurate. It can be much brighter than the actual scene. It does work well for night shots, though (better than HDR).
I also found "Photon Camera" that is open source and does nice HDR shots.
[APP][CAMERA][ANDROID 8.0+][ARM64] PhotonCamera - Enhanced algorithms camera
PhotonCamera is ongoing alpha project what developed by our team including Urnyx05, Savitar and others developers. It is aimed at making advanced algorithms for photos available and able to be modified. Description: Shooting opportunities: -This...
forum.xda-developers.com
It was crashing at times, but setting the battery to unrestricted seems to be helping, so far. It has some sort of "Unlimited" mode that crashes, and I'm not sure what that's supposed to be. There is a video mode, but it's fixed on 4k resolution in portrait with no way to change it that I can find. Also, there's no way to set the storage to the SD card.
It does have access to the different lenses on the Redmi Note 10 pro.
I'll attach some comparisons: Open Camera ID 0, ID 5, and Photon Camera. The Photon Camera lighting is most realistic compared to the actual lighting in the room.
Here's a few shots at night with Open Camera. You can see the dramatic difference between camera id 0 and id 5. Camera id 5 is better at night; even better than using hdr. Maybe id 5 is an internal night mode?
Just wanted to add: I tried adjusting the exposure compensation in Open Camera, currently to -1.00 EV, and it makes a big improvement. By default photos seem over exposed. Maybe it's just a sensor configuration with the Note 10 pro, and it needs to be adjusted with this setting.
With exposure compensation, comparison to Photon Camera HDR usually favors the Open Camera shot.
Using a camera2 api app, I found some more information about the cameras in the Note 10 pro.
Camera ID 5 reports as a "LOGICAL_MULTI_CAMERA" for physical camera ID's 0 and 2. So it's the main back camera that is also using the Depth Sensor (id 2). If I manually focus on a certain spot, it does produce a nice bokeh effect. The depth sensor also seems to help with night shots.
Interestingly, Camera ID 6 also reports as a "LOGICAL_MULTI_CAMERA" for physical camera ID's 0 and 4, which would combine the main camera with the Ultra Wide camera. I haven't been able to get that one to work with Open Camera, though, and not sure of it's purpose. There are also others, not sure of their purpose, but they also don't work with Open Camera.
I'll attach the text report with the camera2 api info.
