No, this is possible. But the led (Flash in torch mode), is also
controlled by the focus control, (autofocusing will enable and
disable the led on its own).

A radio selector for autofocus or LED enabled perhaps?

oh nice, i think default one are better.. picture dont turn as green as fcam drivers.

that seems to be the problem. as I said, i was simply running the camera-ui2 binary with a nohup. I'll check this later, thanks.

I've noticed that camera-ui2 shows on a half-press of the camera button where the original version requires a full-press.

Are you sure?
On my device the original camera-ui starts even on a half-press.

On my device:
when lens cover is open: half-press
when lens cover is closed: full-press

Hmm, maybe it is because I use Shortcutd.

So, I have now uninstalled cl-launcher and shortcutd to check default behaviour without them installed and the original camera app doesn't start on a half press with the lens cover closed, but does when the lens cover is open, your version starts on a half-press even with the lens cover closed. If necessary I can do a clean flash of my spare N900 to check behaviour on that, but I don't remember it ever starting on a half-press before I installed shortcutd, but my memory could be at fault here.

No, you are right, I didn't know the original camera-app behaves
differntly when the lenscover is closed.

3 things I would like to have in Camera UI2

1) Enable Flash in Video Recording
2) Allow the Front camera to take Pictures
3) a Self Timer
