Is there any way to change the lockscreen camera? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I've searched all around but I haven't seen anyone say anything about changing the lockscreen camera from the default one to gcam. In addition to the lockscreen, I was wondering if it's also possible with the double click shortcut. It works right now if my phone is unlocked, but if I try to do it while my phone is locked, it automatically sets it back to the OnePlus camera. This seems like something we could come up with a solution for if there isn't already one.

The only one that doesn't stick for me is the Exposure setting, everything else sticks (front/back, flash on/off, white balance).
Looks like another bug, feature request that needs to be reported (or starred if already reported) at: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
The camera software on the Nexus S is the biggest disappointment, software-wise, on the phone for me. Not nearly as nice as the Samsung or HTC camera software.
Thanks, haven't tried the other settings, exposure was the one I wanted to stick... sods law!

Turn off one finger zoom

Just installed Synergy JB and have noticed that there is one finger zoom in here where you basically slide up and down on the edge of the screen and it zooms in and out. I see people with the note II have this also so it seems it may be a Touchwiz JB feature but I haven't seen a way to turn it off. It's nice but would love to find a way to toggle it. I already checked display, accessibility, and motion controls with no luck and it zooms in any app that can zoom.
If I remember correctly E actually put the GNOTE 2 camera in that ROM so what you are seeing is that actually camera... As far as I know the only way to change that would be to flash a different camera.... HOWEVER.. I do have the NOTE 2 camera on mine also and can pinch to zoom or use the volume keys so there may be different versions of that also... But anyways flash a different camera and that should do the trick

Well its not just the camera it's in the browser, wikipedia app, and others
I apologize.. I swear the post said in the camera app.... I know he pulled a few .APK's from the Note 2... All I can suggest is check the settings for the individual apps... You could also try and download a different browser and try that... That would help narrow it down if it is something "Overseeing" the ROM or something specific to certain .APK's....
anyone find a fix for this...it's happening in my browser now and it's killing me?

What Scroll Bars?

With all due respect, you may want to look at your screen and take note of the fact there are no scroll bars.
I understand that we are creatures of habit, and as I have been using the GUI, with Scroll Bars since the first Mac (1984) I too tend to use the edge of the screen to scroll, but the truth is, it is a Phone, not a Mac, not a PC. It has no scroll bars. Scroll slightly to the left (or to the right-so to not disenfranchise left handed phone users) or 1/4 of the way across, or 1/3rd, or 1/2 or 3/4 quarters, etc. etc. etc.
Anywhere you'd like. It's a Phone, it's a touch screen. No mouse, no ability to tap in the scroll bar and have the screen advance. No way to position your mouse over the up or down arrow, and have the screen scroll smoothly without any other movement than you holding down the mouse button.
It's a Phone. Get it?
Anyway, what is really infuriating is that Samsung put this feature on the phone, didn't tell anyone, until people started complaining about it and reporting it as a bug, and then rather than either tell people about it, or add the ability through a Setting to disable it, in a new release of the software, the morons simply took it away.
So let me ask you, if your phone came configured with the setting disabled by default, but gave you the option to enable it, try it, see if you liked it, then said, nah, and turned it off, would that have been best for you and guys like me who depend on it all day every day to be able to use my Phone with one hand?
I think the answer is obvious.
Samsung, you are laughable, amateur software developers.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Now I just need one of you on here to figure out where in the heck it is hidden so you can make me a build that includes it with whatever else is in the latest releases.
You see, Android is almost entirely "Hard Coded" so it is not something the average user can just go "teeak" , like following the step by step instructions of someone to simply "Hack" the Windows Registry to make it the way we like it.
All the more reason Samsung is so pitiful.

[Question] How to skip lockscreen password with non-stock camera app ?

Hi everyone,
For the short version i 'd like to know if there is a possibility to skip the lockscreen password when launching a non-stock camera app for the lockscreen shortcut ?
For the longer version :
It all started 6 month ago when i updated my S7 (exynos) with the Oreo update (via OTA). Short after this update, i started to notice some picture taken with my stock camera app were really bad, like compressed for MMS.
The phenomenon seems kinda random and can appear on any light condition (even outiside with good daylight). I factory reseted my phone but the problem remain.
So after a while living with this issue, is installed recently a GCAM prot for S7 which seems to give way better quality than stock (need to be confirmed in the long term). I decided to replace the stock camera app on all the shortcuts on my phone (launcher and lockscreen). And here comes my question :
The password skip function when launching stock camera app is really handy. so is there a way to have the same function on any camera app ? (i would love the same function with the calculator app ^^)
Am i the only one facing stock camera quality issue since oreo udate ? i found no thread in the forum.
Thank you in advance

You can chose any shortcuts you wish for the lock screen which bypass the screen lock to use, look on the lockscreen setting menu.

Choosing the shortcut is not my problem.
Right now, the only shortcut that skip the password screen is the camera. Even the default phone shortcut doesn't do that.
And I don't have any option in Lockscreen settings to choose which app bypass or not
You have an odd problem I always use the default camera app from the lockscreen and the quality is the same as launching the app from the home screen....I'm guessing is working properly when you lunch it from the launcher?

Pixel Props causing Brightness issues. Anyone faced similar problems?

I have a rooted Indian version of OnePlus 8T.
Everytime I try to change my device props to Pixel props via directly flashing the pixel props file or using "Magisk Hide Props" module - the display brightness breaks.
While the lock screen is still okay and the brightness behaves normally but as soon as you unlock the phone it goes too dim. Sliding the brightness panel doesn't do anything and neither does disabling adaptive brightness. I've stumbled across months old posts about someone having the same issue with Oneplus 8 Pro but didn't find any solution there either.
Please, anyone let me know if you can somehow get around those problems?
Thank you!
Hi,
Did you find any solution. It seems that it breaks the highest available brightness on the device . I am not sure how to enable that
Hey,
Does anyone got a chance to have a fix for this? I have the same issue with a oneplus 8, and i can't find any solution yet..
Removing the "system.props" from the module breaks the feature of the module

I actually do have a *partial* solution to this. If you were changing the fingerprint to enable call screening or call recording in Google Phone, then the solution is to use Google Dialer Mod instead. It's a root app that has toggles which literally allow you to turn on Call Screening, Call Recording, and pretty much any other Google Phone feature you'd want to enable. No fingerprinting necessary. If you were trying to get other pixel mods, unfortunatley I have no answer to that.

Brightness issue with Pixel mod in OOS

Hey Everyone,
I was able to get all Pixel features like photos unlimited, call screen, hold for me in OOS using this Magisk Module.
But upon installing, the brightness of the device is set to low and completely broken so it doesn't change. Did anyone able to run it and fix this?
I was able to use it by going in to fingerprint and click add fingerprint which brings the brightness back to normal and quit the fingerprint by swiping in notifications and the brightness presists but that's not usable in long term
Edit1: Seems like I was wrong. All the features are getting turned off one by one.
Writing here for anyone who wants to get pixel features in oxygen os rather than AOSP.
I was able to solve the issue. All I had to do is delete the system.prop file from the module and install it. Now the photos shows unlimited uploads and I don't have the brightness issue.
