[Q] i found something i don't like!!! - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, so i finally got to something that really bothers me and I'm wondering if anyone has a fix other than using a different sms/mms app.
When typing a message, day i wasn't too take a picture yes? Well, when taking a picture in the messenger app i am in a not so bright area okay? WHY THE HECK CAN'T I USE FLASH!?!?!?!?!?
I have a picture of what i am explaining..

When the camera app opens do you see a menu option with a lightning bolt and three dots?

There's no flash option when using the camera from the messenger app. If you don't like it you could use another app (I known you may not want to). I have the same messenger app on my G3 and since I never use flash it doesn't bother me.

Also cannot use flash when using HDR+ mode anywhere. If you want to use flash I have to turn this mode off, course this doesn't have anything to do with messenger camera flash.

Flash is an option in Hangouts if you wanna switch to that.

This was true for the Nexus 5/KK 4.4 as well.

Dialer hidden setting

Hi all. I'm looking and trying but I can't find the setting to make all the buttons hidden during a call and just show a tab to drag up to show the dialer. I've set it before but it gets reset everytime I update cm7. Thanks!

Ok, still no solution, so maybe this will help....
currently my in call screen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It used to look like this:
Somewhere through updating the cyanogen 7 nightlies I lost the option for "Force Touch UI" so that option is of no help.
any help would be great as I keep hitting buttons with my face because the proximity sensor on the phone is crap

The heroc does not have a proximity sensor.
As to the other question, I have not been able to find the option to hide the buttons. The only thing I can think to do would be to set the screen to turn off sooner.
There was an app or mod a while back that used the light sensor to turn the screen off or make the buttons go away. I cant remember what it was called but should work.
The second screen shot looks like an alternative dialer app. Might be worth it to try a non-stock dialer app to see if it does what you want.

[APP] Car Home APKs

Was looking for a Car Home app and stumbled upon this thread:

If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk. If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!

I installed Car Home on SRF 1.2 and seems to be working fine. Just thought i'd share, here are some screen shots.

Is this Car Home by Google? Looks the same; however I noticed the Market Version says my device is not supported.
^^^^ I'd like to know this too. Been using Samsung's app which is a little weak. Will give this a try

Interesting. It works, but has some quirks. The music button only seems to work with the google music app. When I try to add other apps to a screen, it only allows me to select launcher apps...

[Q] alarm app interface

Hi everyone...
I'd like to ask you all help...
why is my alarm clock not showing like this anymore...?

it just shows a lockscreen type of alarm app
Thanks.
Have you applied a custom rom to it??
Maybe because of a software update... I'm on 2.3.4 it still has something similar except its no longer buttons but drag bars... this maybe because of my rom/theme though
Thanks for showing me i never really noticed, always been too sleepy
I have just tested this and read that image. I'm sure it never used to be an increasing ring on the normal alarm, only on the smart alarm... weird
I do have a custom ROM, however,I think that even in stock ROM it doesnt show me like i posted before.
But tonight, I will give it a shot and install an official ROM to see if it solves this issue.

Snapchat on LG L90?

I have been using Snapchat frequently, but I have noticed that ever since a month ago, when I specifically record videos on Snapchat, there is a black bar on the top and bottom, I am assuming the aspect ratio is off? You can't change the camera settings via the Snapchat app, so I was wondering what could be causing this...
It takes pictures fine though. Really would like to fix this issue, as it is awkward sending a video via Snapchat with black bars making it look like as if I am using some type of ancient phone...
Can you send a screenshot so that we can see what you are seeing? AFAIK it may be an update affecting video

Sorry I just saw this! So I took a random picture of the Chicago Skyline via Google Images (if for some reason this post gets flagged, the original picture can be found here: http://monkeywrenchplumbers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/IMG_44852.jpg).
Anywho, this is how videos on Snapchat turn out (again, I didn't take this picture!) but basically, imagine that picture was a normal 10 second video on Snapchat, that is how the video is usually outputted as, with the two black bars:

Dorch - Dual Torch​Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​
Background:
I recently bought Moto Z Play that had both front and back flashlight but i couldn't find an App that can toggles both of them at same time in store (or maybe I am bad at searching), so I developed one.
Its just a clean simple app that serves the purpose of flashlight toggling and nothing else.​

This device has only a rear flash.
Yeah, useless for our device, thanks anyway.
I would like a notification flash

I actually just flashed a zip in TWRP that enabled the notification LED by the speaker grill. Its pretty nifty to have a notify light again to blink when I have something to see. Really, I just wanted it to for charging purposes (I have some cables that are starting to go and I want to know if my phone stops charging without touching it, since that sometimes knocks it back into place temporarily), but the notify blinker is a happy side effect.
Got it from mods section on this page:
