power button to camera - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

So the op3t had the option to double click the power button to open up camera, it's quick and all, but can we change the camera to the updated Google camera one?

You can change it (double tap power button) to open the Google camera. But it will still open the stock camera when the screen is off (phone locked). I tried freezing the stock camera app, to see what would happen, and it broke the double-tap functionality altogether (double tapping power does nothing).
There is another thread discussing this, and it seems that the double-tap function is embedded into OOS and currently nobody has found a way to "remap" it under all conditions.

With root can we replace the quick launch camera app

I've search the Note 8 forums, found similar but not specific to root. I'm wondering now that we have root can we replace the double tap home quick launch Samsung camera with a different app, specifically the ported gcam with HDR auto. Also wondering if it can be set to work with the screen locked like the built in camera. Perhaps an app exists and I'm just not finding it.
I have put the camera as my lockscreen shortcut but it still requires unlock to run. Coming from the Pixel, I find the gcam app to get me images much more similar to Pixels quality vs what comes out of Samsung's camera.
You dont even need root, you can use one of the various ways to remap bxby. Personally I have my bixby button remapped to 1 click is camera, double click is google now, and longpress is torch. works with screen off too, so its very handy. I did this with BK Disabler to disable bixby and bxActions to remap the button. Note: you can leave bixby enabled if you so choose and yuou can still have one click be bixby as normal if you like, then double tap camera. - EDIT : I just saw you wanted a different app, while I have mine set as default camera, I would assume there are already routes to use others as well.
I think the OP is asking if it's possible to remap the camera shortcut. OP stated double tap home for camera but that's how it was on my Note 5. On the Note 8 the double tap camera shortcut is the power button. I don't think there is a way to remap that with an app, not that I have seen anyway. I believe that shortcut is a part of the actual camera app.

Camera shortcut

Hi,
I'd like to implement a camera shortcut other than the stock one with the volume rocker, as that is really awkward when trying to adjust volume.
On LineageOS and stock Samsung S7 software, you can set double press home to launch the camera. On most android phones you can use a double press of the power button.
Can either of these things be activated on the P20 Pro through and app or module?
I really miss that feature.
A workaround would be using for example "Edge Gesture" . You can configure different gestures on the edges to open up the Camera App or any other App. For example whenever I hold the right display edge for 1s, it will open up the camera.
I would also be interested in a solution involving physical buttons. But at least you won't miss the shot so easily anymore.
Hi,
I'd like to have a shortcut on my homescreen to e.g. pro-mode and monochrome. Alas, when long-pressing the camera app symbol, it only gives me choices I don't want. Is there any way to get other camera modes as shortcuts apart from those?
greetings

Is there any way to remap the Bixby Button as camera button so that it can open camera even when screen is OFF ?

I have remapped Bixby button to camera in advanced settings but it works only when screen is ON which is pointless. Is there any way to start the camera directly even when screen is OFF using Bixby or any other button similar to Camera button found on Sony phones ?

Question S21 Ultra Android 12 Camera bug

Hello, installed the android 12 beta I can't seem to find any other articles on it but when I take a camera the capture button is in the center of the screen as well? Anyone know a fix?
You can not press and move it ?
You have activated the floating Shutter button. Under camera settings > shooting methods turn it off.
@tfn is right, it's the floating shutter button. If you hold your finger on shutter button you can drag it onto screen. You can disable as mentioned above or drag it back to the main shutter button to remove it.

Question Flashlight on long press power button (or lock screen shortcuts) - Oxygen 13

Hi guys,
First of all, I do not use Gestures and its not activated. So please don't tell me you can do a V on lockscreen, I know already.
I used to have crDroid on my previous OP3T device. You could activate the flashlight on long press of the power button when the screen was off.
Is there any way of adding such a feature to OxygenOS? The device is rooted if it can help. Maybe an available package on F-Droid would allow such customization?
Alternatively, maybe a lockscreen shortcut button on bottom left along with the camera button?
Any way to quickly activate the flashlight with minimal handling of the phone/screen.
Thx
i am looking for built in feature too, but you can use this for now :
Key Mapper - Apps on Google Play
Unleash your keys! Open source!
play.google.com
tested it: seems accessibility is off for this app for security reasons.
