[Q] Disable Hardware buttons - Sony Xperia M2

Hello everybody.
Is there anyway to disable camera hardware button on this mobile? Because the phone fell to the water and now the camera is launching in a loop and replacing the flex of the camera is not an easy task (I think the problem is there).
Thank you and apologies for my poor English I hope you understand.

Go to Camera, tap the option button, then tap camera setting. Set Quick launch to OFF.
Hope it help.

Thank you very much.
That's what I need, and it was an easy solution to the problem, I believed that this would require hidden menus or something like that.
Thank again.

Could the lack of a dedicated windows hardware button be a deal-breaker

Hi.
I notice the Touch-Cruise lacks the Windows button that activates the start menu (like on the HTC Trinity).
Does this mean you have to use the stylus every time you want to open the start menu and go down to programs.
If so that would suck wouldn't it?
Or is there some other way of activating the start menu without the stylus?
Otherwise this device ticks all the boxes for me.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.

You can map any hardware button you like to it. I use the one below the green button.

How do you do that.
(Sorry if this sounds like a basic question but I don't actually have the device at the moment. I'm seriously thinking of getting it though )
Also how do you like the device overall?

Start>settings>buttons and change whatevr you want.
If it was not good there would not be so much clamouring for it Perfect untill I find a better one
get o2 orbit 2, it has also the windows picture on the button

Cheers.
Strangely enough when you go into settings>buttons on my Trinity there's no option to change the buttons below the screen.
You can only reassign the buttons on the sides of the device.
But with the Touch-Cruise you're positive you can re-assign the buttons BELOW the screen, right?
Thanks.

It seems to be a feature with the newer Camera App. Im using version 2012.3628 and I can touch anywhere on the display and whild holding it takes a picture
OK, you're right.
It works with the one included in Energy ROMs.
Not bad... Finally more useful like that : you just have to keep your finger pressed where you initially pressed to focus.

Nexus 4 Power button problem

Hi all,
not if anyone has been the same for a few months but I have problems with the power button . Never work the first time .
Is there any solution that does not involve replacing the switch ?

Yes.
- DoubleTap2Wake - slightly higher battery drain
- Proximity sensor wake - slight battery drain
- Volume button wake - no battery drain
The problem with "Volume Button Wake" solution is that it doesnt lock. And yes, you can use DoubleTapStatusBar, but its difficult to lock without looking and you have to be very precise.
Thank you, I must have rooted my telephone for use these applications? sorry for my ignorance

Greenify users can activate the hibernation+lock solution using the Google Search-like swipe up from the navbar. Works like a charm and you don't have to rely on xposed.

take the back cover off , shove some plastic underneath the power button make sure it fits properly , screw tthe cover back on = profit

You can always download a Screen Off app from the app store, and use a custom launcher to bind it to a gesture (swipe up/down, double tap)
Smart launcher got double tap to sleep option, i love it.
I use Power widget to screen locking and voulme key to wake (xposed).

[APP] Power Button Flashlight (No Root)

Hello, i was recently experimenting with this Project: https://github.com/epeterson320/flashlight
In android studio. Its a flashlight app with no ui you just tap the icon and the flashlight activates, however i added an intent filter to the android manifest allowing the app to be launched with the "Jump to camera" gesture, this allows you to toggle the flashlight on and off with a double tap of the power button even when the screen is locked.
Instructions
Download and install
Lock phone and double tap power button
Enter your PIN or fingerprint
Select flashlight as default app
This will only work on phones that have the "Jump to camera" gesture. For example Nexus and Pixel phones, OnePlus phones and probably more. It will also replace the camera shortcut obviously. Clear defaults to select camera again.
so yeah hope someone finds this useful
Credit to @epeterson320 for creating the original app.
Download below in attached files
Thank you!!! This is amazing.
Christ this is like the one feature that's a deal breaker for me, Xposed torch is great but not seeing Xposed for android 9 yet; and this works well enough. Great thinking and thank you!
Problem
Hello. I have got a problem. Every time the phone is turned off for a longer period, when i double tap a power button camera turns on instead of flashlight. When I turn off the camera and double tam button again, flashlight works. Have anyone got this problem too? (xz1 compact, 47.2.A.8.24)
Edit: I have found out that when i remove password protection everything works
@James_Ward01 would you be willing to share your source code? I want to see if I can get the app to activate without waking the screen.

The app I have on here for download should work with the screen off as I added both android.media.action.STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA_SECURE
And android.media.action.STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA
Intent filters, the _SECURE one meaning it should work with the screen off. At least this was the case on my Nexus 6p at the time.

It does work with screen off. What I want to accomplish is to keep the screen off when I launch from the lockscreen. I don't want the screen to turn on when I double-press the power button. Maybe this is impossible?

Ah, I don't know then, I'm sure it is possible one way or another but I'm afraid getting that to work is beyond me,
Couldn't get it to work with home button on S10 but works perfectly mapped to Bixby button ????

Yes Samsung don't allow the power button to be remapped unfortunately. Glad you found a use for it though.
This works great on the pixel 5, thanks!!
Confirmed, I was using it as well on pixel 5 until now, thanks!
However, new problem :s I couldn't resist trying out Android 12 Beta 3.1 and then no power button access to flashlight anymore.
Same deal for me : Pixel 4a, was using this app daily when I was under Android 11, did the update to Android 12, not working anymore... Sad

You could use System Power:

Toggle Flashlight on/off : NO Root is needed

Sorry but I'm not sure to understand how your app may help : We're talking about enabling the flashlight using physical button shortcut.
Maybe I missed something but for me that's not what your app is doing, is it ?
Anyway, I'm using Torchie now and it kinda work : You enable it by pressing Vol+ AND Vol- at the same time, but it ONLY work when you're on the lockscreen and the screen is on.
So : "Power" to wake the screen, "Vol+ and Vol- together" to turn the light on or off
If anybody find something better, let us know. For now, this is a little cumbersome but it's working.
The Tap Tap app on GitHub works for flashlight by double tapping the back of the phone.

hi guys, conseiring buying this new sony. one question, it comes with dt2w? in my last sony (xz2c) they removed it...
and one more thing, if you set a fingerprint for unlocking, when you are in AOD, to turn the screen on, you need to completely press the power button, or just tap it with the finger you registered?
tia!

Yes, it does support dt2w, and it works just fine.
You only need to touch the scanner, no need to press the button.
Hope that helps
thanks a lot, very helpful indeed
may i ask you one last thing about the Sony launcher.. did they add possibility to hide apps in the drawer maybe meanwhile? :fingers-crossed:
