I have tried to program Bixby to turn the flashlight on and off using custom voice commands. As a fan of both Arthur C Clarke and Harry Potter, I want to use "Lumos" to turn the flashlight on and "Nox" to turn it off. Nox works perfectly, but Lumos is almost never works. It recognized it as "Limos" most often, so I made another custom voice command (Limos -> turn flashlight on), but that had no effect. Lumos still caused Bixby to try to search for limos most of the time.
Does anybody know why I can not override Limos, or is Bixby not "sufficiently advanced technology"?

Is there a program to keep my screen active when i am using a 3rd party GPS program? with TomTom it keeps staying active, but with for instance GPS Performance, it will go inactive after a while, and then my screen turns off..
Can't help you with that, my only idea is set the "screen turn off if not used for x min" to lots of minutes before entering app, and set it back after you exit the app
yeah, but that is a crappy way..
Unless I'm mistaken, MortScript is free. Install that and write a script to:
1. Change backlight setting.
2. Launch GPS Performance.
3. Change one of the hardware keys to execute the application's exit routine (if it's not simply hiting "X" in the corner - some aren't).
4. Reset the backlight settings.
I was wondering what people do for flashlight capability on their phones. Which app/widget do you use? How do you access it? How quickly can you get to it when you need it? Maybe it's just me, but I like having access to a light quickly and easily.
I've gone through a few methods:
1. First I was using the assistive light widget on my home screen because it has virtually no delay and a very built-in look to it, but it's just too dim and the brightness cannot be adjusted. And to use it, I have to get to my home screen first.
2. I started using the smart flashlight widget, which uses the full brightness capabilities of the camera flash LED. It also looks nice but has a slightly longer delay than the assistive light. Still, it's just a widget and to use it I first have to turn on the display, swipe to unlock the phone, and then click the widget.
3. I wanted faster access, so I tried using a home screen widget. Tiny Flashlight + LED has one, but that still requires turning on the screen, swiping (1 or more screens) to the flashlight widget, and then clicking on a full-screen button. Still not very speedy or efficient, and I'm not a fan of the "multiple widgets" lock screen anyway.
4. Just now I set things up using Tasker, which allows you to automate a flashlight using the TeslaLED tasker plugin. Basically I set it up so that when the lockscreen is visible, the TeslaLED flashlight is toggled by shaking the phone. So far it seems pretty efficient but I'm a little concerned it will misfire on me.
It would be cool to turn on the flashlight with a combination of hardware buttons, or have a toggle button as one of the quick apps on the lock screen, but I don't think either of those options are possible.
So for anyone else who likes quick access to their flashlight, what do you do?
With the screen off I use the long volume up toggle from wanam. With the screen on I use the stock widget.

Wanam for sure. Of course you need root. Without root I've used both the assisting light and smart flashlight.

Hello I have lots of questions
1) is there a way to make active display or tap to wake up phone?
2) on my previous phone if I clicked on the volume key button the phone would turn on?- can I do it on here?
3) there are many more apps like contextual services and lots of other Motorola apps. Which are safe to disable?
4) is there a way to block OTA updates?
5) when you swipe down using two fingers you get the notification pull menus. But when I click the wifi button it opens the settings app and goes to wifi. Can't I edit it so it goes DIRECTLYY to. Toggle wifi?
6) pin on lock screen - on my old phones when I input my pin it unlockes. This is so stupid and takes more longer after inputtingmy pin. I then have to click enter? How do I automate that
1) You can use AcDisplay. You can't tap to wake the phone, a custom kernel would be required for that.
2) Not by default.
3) I leave Assist, Alert, Audio effects, Help and Migrate disabled. I don't know about the rest, but those are safe.
4) Just don't install them. I don't know if you can disable the alerts though.
5) Hold the wifi button . Works with other settings as well, try it out.
6) Well, you could try using an app that replaces your lockscreen which has this feature, such as the Home Screen Lock of Smart App Lock. By default you can't though.
Hope I helped.

I assume you are using Lollipop. The wifi-icon and the SSID are two seperate buttons. Tapping the icon switches wifi on/off. Tap on the SSID and it will take you to settings
I've found that long-pressing the wifi button will toggle it on and off.

Bit disapointed thaty I cant use the volume keys! thanks for the help
Anyone else having this issue? I reinstalled the assistant app and rebooted. Still, swiping from the corner doesnt start my google assistant anymore. I can only feel the vibration, but nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Clear assistant app cache/data?
And if ther's an option, disable the "corner swype" and re-enable again.
Thanks, already did that.
For some reason there is no option for disabling or enabling corner swipe.
I have the same problem with my Oppo Find X3 Pro: when I long press the lock button the only thing that happens is the short vibration. No sound and no assistant anymore I also tried disabling and enabling the Google app, but nothing changes...

You can remove that google assistant using power button just search on setting " wake google assistant with power "
i disabled mine quite annoying when playing games and taking screenshot using VOL- and power button google assistant keep showing
The last OTA-Update fixed this issue. It's working like before.
is there an app that I could do this?
google asst is too slow turning flashlight on.
Try using "quick tap". You can turn it on and off by tapping the back of the phone twice.
Settings > system > gestures > quick tap > choose toggle flashlight
You just need to turn your screen on first, but it works on lock screen
unfortunately, I'm already using that to pause music, but maybe I'll have to change that.
AOSP Mods
Was hoping not to bother with the whole custom ROM with this phone.
But I'll read thru as it does look interesting. Thanks,
I just remembered an app I used to use on my Pixel 5 that would probably work for what you want. I'm not sure if it works on Android 13 or not, but it should. I'll think I'll reinstall it as well. Probably on my 7pro too

Squeeze, press, gestures, fingerprints, vibrations, remap S Pen & much more!

thanks. I'll give a look
doesn't seem to work with A13.

Did you run the adb command? You can find it in "help" on the app
I did. Should I have restarted after?
I don't remember. Can't hurt
no joy. tried a few different methods. I'd say it no longer likes the P5 with A13.
