Hi guys i just somehow side loaded the stock gallery and camera app to my XSP as some of you know i haven't been able to install apps from insufficient storage error so after playing around i managed to get it done via APK. Now when i use the camera button our XP has been blessed with it still opens the stock xperia camera app. is there anyway to change this? i do have a rooted phone
Thanks for putting up with my hail of noobish questions but it is appreciated. Cheers guys

You can disable the Stock one and use the thirdparty one you have installed.
You can not open the camere with the camera button when you have multiple camera apps installed.
Atleast I cant.

so if i delete the stock one i can use the the one i downloaded? i can focus and take a pic with the camera app i downloaded but i can't open it with the button so will that fix it? or will i loose features like half press to focus and full to capture?

I downloaded a 3rd party camera application and I love it. My question is how do I set that to be the default when I press the camera button. I looked in quick launch and didn’t see anything for the camera key. I don’t have ADB available until later tonight so if needed id prefer a terminal code. This would be a big help considering I have to keep an icon of it on my screen and go to it and click instead of just hitting a camera button!
Thanks in advance!

It would have to be a setting within the application itself. Which camera app are you using? Camera Zoom? I know snapphoto has an option for you to set it as a default camera

Lol we all do sometimes Please change the thread title to [SOLVED]
While playing movies, for example, I want to capture the screen as a still picture. Same goes for a piece of info that I see on the webpage, etc.
In the iPhone environment,users could just press the power and home button simultaneously to capture it as a photo.
Is there anything like that on Android?
I only know one way and that requires root , then download app from market "Shootme"

Thanks for the info. Do you then assign a hardware button to do the capture? No problem capturing a movie while it is playing?

"Shootme" works by shacking phone left and right , i did not try capturing a movie but it should work it captures everything else on screen, there are more apps in market capable capturing screenshots , they all need root to best of my knowledge.

Shaking is a good way, as long as the orientation is not upset by it I guess.
Having go root the phone is a pity. Does anyone know of a non-root solution?

I dont have root either and i looked for screenshoot app as well, but i wasnt able to find any..
-TB-
It's due to Android's security settings that root is required to take screenshots.
No other way around it for now.
Read this thread, in the first post there is a link on how to take screenshots through the android SDK:
The screenshot thread
Wow, does it have to be this complicated just to capture screen?

Just wait for 2.2 if you don't want to root, since it will allow you to take a screenshot with .. I think it was the back-button and home-button.

Hey
I looked into previous threads and didn't found a good solution to this problem.
Is ther any solution?
I have rooted c6903 with 4.4.2 and looked-bootloader.
thnks
from wat i tested out. the only way is to open the camera app through the homescreen. but provided previously it is in manual mode.
if u dont want it to switch to superior auto, than make sure u dont press the camera key button when screen is not locked.

The HW Button can be remapped and it's a common Mod on Android but it's not yet developed for Z1 as the functionality do not gain many users and request are small.
Somehow maybe it can be done, but I an not aware about that at the moment.

Alright i made it work as well, if you having the black screen press the home button, open another app (eg WhatsApp) and then go back to the gcam

I tried everything, but it just crashes. I even tried deleting the app's data.
This helped for me. Try to hold on the app and run one of the function: "Make selfie" or "Record the video" after that camera will work, but sometimes when i launch camera on the common mode, i have a black screen again.
How good is it? Care to share some side-by-side photos? (stock -> google camera)?
Does it enable cameraapi2?
Thanks in advance

In the other thread there are several comparison pics. I doubt you can get it working without canera2 api which needs root to enable. Without HDR+, whats the point of having gcam?

camera 2 api doesnt need root. just needs an unlocked bootloader. I would be better if we spam tweets to mi to unlock camera 2 api with next update as nokia 6.1 plus has it enabled out of the box.

I remember on the older models you could get small apps. Is there a way I could get them on this phone?
I'm running omnirom rooted with magisk.
- tried installing the framework however nothing happens.
Thanks

Hi bro as In you know when you press the sqaure button and your recent apps come up there used to be buttons where they would pop up a mini window version of the app for example browser... It would open a mini window that you can move around ontop of the app you're already on.
"Floating apps" I don't want to install 3rd party application
I've attached a screenshot of a 3rd party app but it's exactly like this

That's the free form mode from Android Nougat
The Internet told me something about floatingapps, but as far as I know it got replaced by the split screen in AOSP.

Man that was a good feature. I'll just use the 3rd party app instead.
