So.... It's really annoying me now.... How can we disable the shortcut on the power button that loads up the camera? I've never had so much of an issue with it but it seems since the Nougat update I launch the camera more than I lock my device!
Can't remember if I've enabled it somewhere or whether it's a default. Any help?
Open settings and search for camera. There you can disable the setting​.

My home button had been acting up as of late, to remedy this I use an app called swipe pad to get me to home screen and other frequently used apps when I need. I am looking for a way to call up ICS recent tasks overlay with a shortcut so I can access it via swipe pad, anyone with a solutionor an idea to point me in the right direction?

interesting, searched for this a lot and ended empty hand, lets see if any other can come up with a solution
should be possible
Interested too
I was redirected by Notification Toggle releaser to this thread:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/2534489-post5.html
Where it gives code to do it via an app
And, he released a process apk that will use screen swipe to launch the recent apps from ICS here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/tools/190260-recentlauncher-unsichtbarer-recent-apps-softkey.html
Now if someone can code an apk to be launched instead of a process...
I used "Button Savior" on my old phone when the menu button was playing up.
It does have a home button, but i dont know if it supports long press.

Thank you for pointing me to that app
It filled all my needs
Hm, that's good to know!
Apex and Nova launchers now support this as a gesture toggle from home too
No more need to a third party app
yeah apex launcher is the best solution, it's wonderful!

Nova is also by far most stable for many
Test them both and decide, each and his needs
i use apex pro and it is stable for me..i have tested nova too but i prefer apex..
Great!

Thanks for the heads up dude, just updated and set the gesture
I wonder if there is an app that can allow a rooted user to hold on the back key for the recent task instead of the home button..

Hello,
I'm having this issue with the camera which all the time resets itself to the default settings.
It only happens with the shortcut settings, I constantly add to the shortcut "exposure level" + "Focus mode" and everytime single time I'm opening the camera app I get the default shortcuts. For Instance the if I change the MP resolution or picture quality it will remember changes.
I'm using Wanamlite 1.8 + Phenomenal 2.0 Medium
Any suggestions? :good:
Thanks!

Hi! Really old thread but did you ever solve this? I have the same problems. But to me it's not only the shortcuts, the camera always resets to default settings so I always have to change iso and flash.

Yes I read that on another forum. I guess it's a "feature".
does anyone know if there is a way to remove the camera button from the lock screen?
i keep hitting it by accident when unlocking phone.
Maybe Settings/Security /uncheck 'enable widget' or change the widget or disable Screen lock.

If you got root, there is a module for "Xposed Installer" called "screen Tweaks". That works for me.
Camera app -> menu dots -> general settings icon -> quick launch: turn off.
Will remove icon from lock screen but also disable the dedicated camera button launching camera app.

My solution was to completely disable the "quick launch" in the Sony camera settings.
Afterwards, within "All in one gestures" application (ROOT required), I associated :
- "no action" with single tap on camera key
- "launch camera" shortcut on "long press" on camera key.

hi
anyone found a solution to disable Hardware buttons in lockscreen ?
thanks for sharing
It seemed to me to be a massive oversight that the shortcut key could only be used to open apps & not perform actions within apps such as use as a camera shutter key.
With a bit of playing around with tasker, auto input & tasker app factory I now have something that works for me as a camera shutter key. This obviously opens up many other possibilities.
My question is has anyone else tried anything similar & would anyone mind trying the attached app? I'm still learning with tasker so I'd like to know if the created app would function as a standalone for people who don't have tasker or autoinput installed.
To test once installed select the app as the shortcut key setting then open the stock camera app & press the shortcut key.
Thanks in advance to anyone that trys it.

Wow, that's really good. It could be fantastic using that key to use Now on tap without the virtual navigation bar
Edit: I've just try it with the camera app and is not working to me
Thanks for the feedback. I've not actually used the now on tap function yet but unless Elephone change how you can assign the button this seems like the best method for making it do what you want. Tasker's really versatile but I'm still learning so I know a lot of the stuff I do is a bit clunky. Personally I want it to be multi function so when the camera's open it's the shutter button but when it's not then I can use it for media control i.e. press once for pause, twice for skip track, 3 times for back track.

That probably means you do require the autoinput plugin then. I've been playing around with now on tap & have managed to get it to work when you click on the app button I created but when it is assigned to the shortcut key it doesn't. It definitely needs the autoinput plugin with the method I've used. Going to make some posts in Tasker threads when I get chance to see if I can get suggestions on better ways to do it.

Did this move on any further? I wanted to give it a go, but the Google drive link isn't working.
As you say, massive oversight on the part of Elephone. I hadn't even thought of trying to use tasker.

Unfortunately not. The issue with exporting tasker things to an app is to install it on another phone you require all of the appropriate plugins used within the task. It's certainly possible to do things with the shortcut key using tasker but I found most of the solutions convoluted for such a simple result so gave up on it.
Thanks for the reply. It's a shame to hear it was so convoluted to achieve, but thanks for trying.
I've been using Camera Zoom FX, if you set the exposure to +3 it gives comparable results to the stock camera app. The advantage of this app is that you can use the volume rocker as a hardware button to take pictures via an optional setting. There is a free version of this app as well I think, but I don't know its limitations. I think the functionality exists in some other camera apps too, including Google Camera, the thing is that most apps seem to have a noticeable reduction in quality vs the stock app.
I know it's not quite the result you were aiming for, but I hope that the information is of some use to somebody.
Hi, I really am disappointed that motorola didn't use all that space on the bottom of the phone as actual buttons. I know there is an app that turns the fingerprint scanner to be used as a home button, but is there one that will make double-tapping the sensor go into multi-task screen? That would be great because then I could disable the hideous soft keys and just use that! (I don't use the back key that often, it's a bit useless imo).
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
This was the first result when searching the Play Store for "fingerprint gestures". It has what you want. The taps have to be kind of long for it to work. And in order for it to work properly you need to disable "Fingerprint sensor can lock phone" located in Settings - Security - Settings cog.

I just tested that app today but it makes the regular "home" on-screen button useless. Most of the time that button isn't working, the other 2 on-screen buttons do work properly though.
