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.

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.

but it does not change shared packages.

Proximity sensor not working.

My capacitive buttons will not light up unless I cover the sensor first. Is there any known fix for this? Is this enough to get the phone replaced?

Bump.
The developer of Capacitive Button Brightness recently made a version of his app that turns the capacitive buttons on with the screen, regardless of lighting. Idk if he implemented those changes in the Play Store version, but I'm linking his post below.

That's weird. Try changing something (select one of the different brightnesses); it may trigger a request. Just change it back to default if you wish.

Which one are you trying (apk or play store)? You could try to reboot and/or clear the application's data (settings -> apps). Idk beyond that; it works for me.
EDIT: It could be an issue with the apk I attached; I noticed that the file name is different from when I got it from the developer. I linked his post; grab it from there.

The apk you linked. I've used the play store version in the past no problems, but I've installed a new rom since then. It seems I'm getting this problem now with both versions, so I guess the source of the problem is elsewhere...

hurm.. this is embarrassing. I've recently installed a new ROM, so I must have messed up somewhere as I'm getting errors from all apps as though the phone isn't rooted, which I don't understand how that could be since I'm already on a custom ROM... I'll reinstall the rom for now and see how that goes..

It may be as simple as installing Superuser from the Play Store (if you don't have it).

Turned out using SuperSU rather than superuser seemed to fix the problem. Getting back on topic I suppose, this version of the brightness app solves the issue of the capacitive buttons! They now illuminate when the screen is on, turn off when the screen is off! you're a lifesaver.

Do you have checked that Box in Developer Settings for installing unsigned APK's?

Okay so that's Android 4.2.2.
Go to settings, info,software information.

Then you must touch up to 10 times in a row on Build Number.

Do you have an overlay app installed? Pie controls, Glovebox, Sidebar or something like that? If so, pause or force stop it and install your apk and then resume the app.

I have no applications as you indicate.
it become complicated, however it is possible as this native application is integrated into some 4.2.2 ROM on HTC ONE

Your signature says you have a NavBar. I don't have a HTC One yet. Hopefully it'll come this week, but I do know that the HTC One doesn't have a navbar and if you have one, that could possibly be the culprit. Especially if it's the type that pops up when you hit a certain part of the screen like Paranoid Android Pie Controls. Usually these types of apps pause themselves when you're trying to install something, but it could be a bug, or something that hasn't been configured to pause and restart when installing something.
I'm not 100% sure this is the culprit, but it's a good possibility that you have an overlay app and just don't realize it. Pop up widgets, Unity type launchers, anything that pops up when you touch a certain part of the screen, but isn't shown otherwise.

Is the app from HTC or google?
I took a look on the link you have posted. It looks like an Apple/iPhone App for me.
But I could be wrong since I don't know how android apks look like in the inside.
When you try to install the app, is there an error message or anything else?

"Wanam Xposed is a malware" notification

I already posted on the wanam xposed page but I have moved here to avoid confusion.
Some days ago I received a notification on my S3 Neo that wanam Xposed is a malware and to uninstall . I tapped ok and it uninstalled automatically. I had the last version from a long time and I had no problem since this notification (I'm pretty sure that was from google settings app). I was using this module from months with no problem...
Anyone knows something about it?
@wanam ?
Today I tried to reinstall it from the xposed app and i received the screen attached.

The culprit is play store. Disable notifications for this app.

They asked me to remove it from the PlayStore because it disables some Knox services and fakes the system status, and that's what i did months ago, so i'm not surprised they are now flagging it as a malware package.

It's most likely to do with the SElinux mode setting to permissive on wanam. Android does this too with the SELinuxModeChanger too.

I did that but i still get the warning. And when i uncheck verify apps (in android Settings) it goes back to being checked after a restart. Security Updates is also unchecked. My Note 2 with stock 4.4.2 is rooted.

Has anyone figured this out beyond disabling the Google App setting? I only recently started to get the "Wanam Xposed can damage your device" notification.

From your notifications long press the warning, select app info, uncheck notifications.

[MODULE] Nexus 6 LED Enabler for magisk v9/v10/v11

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Nexus6_LED_Enabler
This module enables LED on Nexus 6 phones. Tested on both Marshmallow and Nougat.
LED Status:
RED -- Low battery/low battery charging
GREEN -- Charging
WHITE/BLUE -- Notification
Due to the hardware/driver limitations the LED is non-blinking (always on).
PS. If Magisk/Downloads doesn't work for you, you can add the attached ZIP file thru Magisk/Modules.

Works Great
Thanks for this

Probably with the third-party apps. This module us just the library/driver which enables LED.
