Double press power button to launch camera

[elfrisi]

Okay, call me crazy, but I am positive that that shortcut was not present before. I have the latest security patch, no root, no bootloader unlocked, no custom rom. I double pressed it and the camera launched. I don't know if it has to do with hiding the stock Sense Home screen via adb. I don't know what I did. I don't find a setting or anything in the entire system.

Not working for me, stock, un-rooted, on 1.95.710.3.

It also works on any screen and app. Software number varies, though.

Works with motion launch turned on or off.

Viper10 has had that for a couple of months now. It's not the first time that HTC has had "inspiration" from what custom ROMs are offering.

Well, Nexus phones have had that for a while, Samsung too (with the home button). I just find it random that it randomly appeared on my 10, no mention of it anywhere.

Now that you mention it, I remember someone on the Viper10 thread requesting it, and saying it was available on Nexus. I have never owned a Nexus phone myself; only Nexus tablets; but the new Pixel line is certainly intriguing.

It's a nice feature, fastest camera shortcut, imo. Somehow, I am the only one to have it naturally. I asked LlabTooFeR on Twitter and he doesn't know about it, said it could be a "bug".

Sounds like a nice bug though, how do you do it again? I'm on the same software and it's not working for me

I don't know. It randomly appeared.

But Like I said, I hid the Sense Lock Screen for it to be replaced with the AOSP Lock screen. (no root, no boot unlocking, no tricks, no hacks)

Maybe it's something related to an updated of such launcher?

Thing is, it works on any screen, any app. I'd tie it more to the Lock screen if it only worked there, but nope. Works everywhere. I can record a video to prove it.

Can you take video to prove this? I really REALLY miss this feature.

I sold my HTC 10 to get a Pixel :/

We have that feature in our rom.

 

[slithertooth]

I stumbled across this earlier in the week when I disabled the stock locksceen. It's a nice unexpected feature.

Anyone successful with getting this to stock rom?
I have only tried some apps but don't work

 

[TheMadKing]

Yeah, I read it somewhere, it's one of the effects of disabling the HTC Lockscreen. Having the stock Android Lockscreen enables that double press shortcut.


I have a question too though, does the fingerprint scanner work on the Stock Android Lockscreen?

settings > system > gestures

EDIT: That's where to do it on the Pixel devices. I don't remember exactly where on the HTC 10, but it should be something similar (my 10 is dead now, so....)
