Hi all,
I installed 5.0.2 TugaPower25 rom and Gapps.
When I open the camera app, I only have video and stills camera. I used to have panoramic, and tilt shift options as well. How can I get these options?
Lastly, what should I do to get Smart Lock option?
I believe that's the aosp camera, not the Google camera, just download the Google camera from the Play Store.
Smart lock only works when you pair your phone with a trusted Bluetooth device, like a smart watch or some headphones. When you're paired and the Bluetooth device is close by the security lock on your phone will be disabled because it believes that you're the one using it. Just pair a Bluetooth device and you'll get a notification.

I think smart unlock can also work with a trusted Wi-Fi network

Does anyone know of a way for the camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio? Or any other cheap wireless mic solution that will work with on an android phone and doesn't require recording audio and video separately? Thanks

If you connect your BT headset it still records from it's normal mic?

Yes. The camera app only records from the internal mic. I really need a wireless solution that allows me to have the microphone several meters away to record the sound. I could only find wired solutions and they were not even for android.
I think I've got it!
so, I've been trying to do this exact same thing for about a week now, and I think I've got it. with the help of some random people on the internet.
it seems this is actually a two part problem.
1) get the device to recognize the bluetooth microphone (from a headset or other bluetooth wireless device).
2) get the audio into a video recording.
it seems that android and an OS is not readily prepared to do either of these, and the built in video recorder cannot use audio from a source other than the devices built-in microphone.....so....we have to improvise a little.
First, we will need to get android to play nice with the bluetooth device. start by installing a free little app called "bt mono" you can find it on the google play store.
once installed you will need to run this any time you want to use your bluetooth device in a way other than as a phone.
on a side note, this works great for listening to music via a bluetooth headset.
second you will need a video recorder that can take the audio input that bt mono gives you. so, run back over to the google play store and get "lgCamera"
the only thing you have to do now is tell lgCamera that you want to use the "microphone" as the audio source.
thats it. you now have a video recorder on your phone/tablet that will use "almost" any bluetooth device as the audio input.
I have this exact set up on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with CM 10.1.0 rooted, and it works perfectly. I am not sure if this works with unrooted devices, though I don't see why it wouldn't. hope this helps anyone who's been dredging the depths of the interwebs!
very special thanks to david hadaller and to Warren Barton for the breakdown and links!

You are right! Tks!
Hi bud...
did you find any solution-for phone camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio?
i looking for same too Sam.Note4 but no luck so far
Yes. lgCamera and BT Mono works on android. It properly records the video from the phone and the audio captured from my Nokia HS-3W Bluetooth Headset.
Tested with Sony Ericsson LT18i.
Cinema FV-5 has a setting for audio source, and BT works
The only problem - 'cinema fv-5' doesn't seem to utilize the front camera, only the main one.
(can't post the link, search on play store for 'cinema fv-5')
Hello. I kinda worked for 3 secs then it automatically switch back to internal mic.
I have level u headphone and note 5. Is is there anyway to make it stay?
is there any solution that we could hack the OS to make external Bluetooth Mic recognised by the native video camera app in the android phone? its so silly that if you try for example "Open Camera" app from play store the external mic works fine. But i am interested to use the native Camera app for video recordings
any thoughts or feedback will be much appreciated!!
Cinema FV-5 Front Camera
To utilize the front camera on Cinema FV-5 swipe from Left to Right.
If you swipe the left menu bar to the right it will switch to the front camera.
This is documented NO WHERE in the user manual. I found it when I purchased the Camera FV-5 app. On a pop-up instructional screen it said to swipe the left menu bar from left to right to engage the front camera. The photo camera version also has an icon on the right menu bar that switches the photo camera to the front camera but there is no icon nor instructions for the video camera.
It works. Cinema FV-5 works excellently with any bluetooth headset to record audio on video from the BT headset. Just make sure to have the BT headset connected before you open Cinema FV-5 or there may be connection issues to the app.
These are some of the videos that use audio from the BT headset around my neck.
The videos are on YouTube, just paste the ending part below at the end of YouTube.com i.e. /endingpart

An in-ear headset is actually clearer and I've just switched to that type of BT headset but I don't have any of those uploaded at the time of this posting..
UPDATE: Although the swipe left to right will switch to the front camera, the BT audio does not work with the front camera, only the rear camera. Perhaps Cinema FV-5 will fix this with a future update.
Hi guys, we could manage this function through the btmono app, up to version 8. Today, we are at 11 and the situation has not changed .. They say for safety but I cannot give up this solution and I remain at 8.
Do you guys who got this to work with BT Mono and lgCamera have a link to the playstore lgCamera app? I searched it but could not find it. Thanks!

I also do not find it on playstore. Probably it is outdated. I can only see it on apkpure https://m.apkpure.com/lgcamera/rubberbigpepper.lgCamera

Kenwood released this app that will allow head unit control of your smartphone using HDMI and Bluetooth Input connections. Right now, the only supported devices for the S3, S4, Note II and Sony devices.
Is there a root tweak or hack that can be developed that will trick the app so that any device can work with the app?

Found this via a random google search. As of now, 02/19/2016 Kenwood has not updated this app to support Android 6 Marshmallow. If you have this app installed on Android 6, it will just force close. I have an idea that it won't work because of the permissions restrictions on the new Android OS. Once Kenwood updates the app to request permissions for us to grant we'll be good again. If you rely heavily on the touch screen options over the MHL/HDMI then stay with Android 5 (lollipop).
I have the following setup in my vehicle and it works quite well:
My Physical setup:
HDMI cable run from back of of my Kenwood to my center console where I have a coupler to plug-in my MHL cable. The idea is to make it easy to plug-in a Miracast device someday. Right now the wireless mirroring is far to buggy and slow, so connecting directly is the only way to go here for me. I cut my Parking SW (switch) greenish wire and wired it into the ground wire (black). This allows me to bypass the restrictions of use while driving and easily control other apps that Kenwood won't otherwise let you run, like Google Maps or a Drive app like HTC Drive. If you choose to NOT bypass then so long as you open WAZE first, you can trick the unit into letting you open other apps, but you can't go the home screen first. You'll have to open the app via recents menu.
My Software setup:
I have a rooted Android device and use an app called "second screen". I have it configured to auto turn off my phone's backlight when I plug-in to the mhl cable. This saves my battery greatly by not having to light up the display. I lose about 1% every 30 minutes or so running waze and Spotify together, very doable. Once I remove the MHL cable everything is back to normal and back-light returns.
Before I bypassed restrictions by moving my parking switch wire to the ground, I was using an android app called "overlays". (still am actually because its awesome) Its free and allows you to put an app shortcut over an running program. You setup a profile per app. For example, in Waze, I put an app overlay for both Spotify and Pandora. All you see are 2 tiny icons, size and placement of your choosing, in the corner of waze. All I have to do is tap it and it opens Spotify. I did the same for Spotify and Pandora and placed tiny app shortcuts to both Waze and Google maps to allow seamless back and forth between apps. Takes a bit to setup, but so worth it in the end.
All in all, it greatly improves enjoyment while driving. The Head units, so far, have far less appealing GUI than your cell phone. Google and Apple do great jobs of making their UI appealing to the masses and there really is no better choice, even the built-in head unit GUI, which I'm happy to bypass and show my phone instead.
I'm pretty sure I remember this setting being available in the preview versions just like in kitkat, but on the recently released images I cannot find the setting to change the bluetooth visibility setting to never time-out. The pioneer bluetooth stereo in my car absolutely will not recognize the presence of my phone unless it is discoverable.
Am I missing something, or has this option simply been removed.
If it has been removed I'm hoping maybe there is something I can modify to get this option back.
Thank you

If you open the bluetooth settings it says, that your device is visible to all devices as long bluetooth is enabled. Only in this screen your bluetooth device is visible to other devices.
I hope google fixes this, because its too confusing.
Yes, unfortunately that's the only reference to bluetooth visibility I have found.
My understanding in 5.0 is that your device's Bluetooth is only visible to paired devices, except when the Bluetooth Settings page is open. When the Bluetooth Settings page is open on your device it will be visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices (which is what you need when pairing). Have you paired the Pioneer Bluetooth stereo with your device?
There no longer appears to be an option as there was on 4.4 to permanently set 'Visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices'. However, why would you want that, other than when setting up pairing? It's a security risk.

I'm in your same situation, I was googling around and I found this... I'm on CM12 and wish that we can find a solution for make the bluetooth always discoverable on AOSP roms. I own a Lg G3 and on the stock Android 5.0 rom the option (like in KitKat) it still there!
The only reason I was really looking for this features is that my older Pioneer head-unit in my car (DEH-P9800BT) won't connect automatically to my phone unless the phone is discoverable. I've managed to adapt my other bluetooth connections that were set this way to work without the option, but I've tried for years (since my Palm Treo 650p) to get the head unit to connect automatically with no luck.
I am also wondering why they have hid this feature...
Looks like they are trying to go like (cr)Apple, whereas your iPhone is only discoverable within the Bluetooth menu.
Hello, any tips on a remote control for the camera?
I have seen the selfie sticks, and wonder if there is a proven "remote only" for the native camera app?
Kind regards, Vozie
Haven't seen anything about the stock camera app, but I do know that some 3rd party apps like A Better Camera allow to use the talk button on a headset to operate shutter.

If you have another android phone as well, try the app named sharelens.
You place the one phone for taking the shot on eg a tripod , and use the other phone to take the pic via wifi remotely. You can even focus and see live what you are taking and at quite a distance. As long as you are in wifi range. Quality depends on the camera taking the picture and it is wirelessly transferred and recorded on the phone used as remote. I have taken some shots which would have been impossible with just one phone. Try it if it was what you meant [emoji13] [emoji2]
I have got this. Pair it via BT and you are good to go. Works with any BT device, some apps have problems with remotes and do weird stuff. Default app, however, works like a charm. The ios button works like zoom in button.
As for buy link, I can't help
Got mine last summer in China. EBay is your best bet.

Only thing u need is root and tasker-app and any bluetooth headset with buttons...
Some apps have the ability to play sound notifications through my Bluetooth device and also through the phone which confuses me.
I would think because the Bluetooth is connected that the sound would be diverted to the Bluetooth however it finds a way to play the sound through the Bluetooth and the phone.
How can I take away the ability to do this of these apps. I do not see the option in the notifications settings of the app.
I'm on android pie stock rom, rooted btw
Thank you for any help
