Ah, yes. Because learning a few basic commands is just so damned hard.

And there IS a front end for this script. I think you would call it an application. Reading a whole thread before posting... again, learn a little before you let your fingers do the typing.

I found a bug with the Keyboard focusing. When you press on the keyboard it won't focus but it will if you hold it. But when you let the key go the focus is still going. Impossible to get the focus right. Also widget applet is unusable to focusing. Why? because You cant see how the focus work on screen. Everything is greyout.. Is not there a way to disable the greyarea when the widget is loaded? So we can see how the video focusing works? I think focus using button is much better. So please create or change to button focus widget instead.

Yow!,

the first issue you mentioned seems to me like your phone can't handle the commands given to change the focus, this means:
either you have high cpu load, like too many applications opened or an application is hogging the cpu.
or there could be many instances of the keyboard script open, to fix that type this in the terminal:
sudo lfocus stop

as for the focus bar, I'm with you on that, if I can't find a way to get rid of the blur from the window manager, I could just get rid of it in the future. I'm still researching
I'm also open to any opinions about the coding. thanks!

Nop i'm not using any application on my device only recording. The previous version is sweet but no applet. This version is seem to be a bit delay. My device is freshly reflashed.

lfocus_0.309-1
The widget now only shows up when you open the camera cover!
the keyboard toggle now disables autofocus.

great! just what I looked for: disabling the red-led while recording videos.
It would be more useful to have a button that turns off the red-led, instead of the autofocus button (why would I turn off the AF?)

I found more bug.. M2CM2C

Please fix this:

The applet slide bar is way off the bottom of the screen to use efficiently, the LED button mode doesn't tell you which button/function has been seleted.

When you scrolling the bar and hold it at a certain point, the bar just scrolling itself to the end and repeat again to go automatically move to the beginning.

I tried last night and it was very annoying that the bar doesn't seem to response to my touch position.

Everytime the applet is opened, the camera frame rate dropped!

If the keyboard is set to "ON" the camera unit will crash and will not do automatic focusing, when pressed capture button, it crashed. So disable the keyboard focus when the camera lense is closed would be the best efficient way.

hey

I'm happy you found the script usefull, I've made it turn autofocus off only when you press the keyboard on button you can turn it back on when you turn the keyboard off, this helps you get the focus you've set to take pictures or videos instead of the autofocus messing up your focus. you can turn off the red led either from the keyboard or the buttons, please read the first post on this thread for more info.

hello there
I've set the bar so far at the bottom so you'll be able to see the picture, but due to the dimming happening in the background I might fully remove the slide bar. as for the LEDs, it is written on the buttons which LED function you're selecting, I don't know if you have customized fonts or not I think that could be the problem.
as for how to use the scroll bar, please read the instructions at the first post on how to use it, I've just tested the slide bar on my phone and it moves smoothly when I drag it with my finger I don't really know why it isn't responding to you when you drag it, as I said I might remove it completely.

and for the framerate drop I think this could be related to the slider not responding due to high cpu usage of some application, if you can run htop and see which application is consuming the highest cpu usage maybe you can tell me if it is the widget or not.

In htop you should see, only 1 lfocus.py and 1 stop_focus.py, if you have more than one instance open from these scripts when the lens cover is closed, please run the following in the terminal:
sudo lfocus stop
sudo lfocus stop_stop_focus

the keyboard on button automatically disables autofocus by default. I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by the camera unit, do you mean the camera application or the camera autofocus ?

they keyboard focus is set to automatically disable when you close the lens cover.

also make sure you have the latest package installed, if you do, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it again and run the commands I've given you at the top.

please tell me if the information I've provided is enough or not, and tell me about that htop cpu usage
