m2cm2c, can you please explain to me how does iFocus forces a certain forcus, even if I do a half press and then press the shutter button?

Also, if I hide the UI, does it keep forcing a certain focus?

I am asking cause I have many mechanical noises since last version, but I am not sure it's related to it.

lfocus doesn't force a focus it only applies it through v4l2-ctl, but for the stop autofocus function it uses the stop-focus.py script which intercepts a "True" half-press button signal and returns "False" instead. as for the mechanical noise I think it is caused by remember led state function which is being sent by lfocus after pressing on the camera button [edit] and tries to turn on the led while the camera is in stand by state which causes the camera to turn on and off hence the lense going into action position and idle position. I think I'll apply a fix for this plus keep the remember led state button turned off and the user turns it on only when he has to take a video since keeping led on after taking a picture doesn't make any sense.

It seems everything works fine but, is there a way to keep the image clear while using LFocus' menu? also, an option to use the volume keys to manual focus would be very uselul. Digital zoom isn't that nice either :P

you can use the volume keys for focusing, please read my first post on this thread for more information. As for removing the dimming that happens when a dialog pops up I'm not sure if it is "hackable" or not but I'll do some research on that.

I meant by default, but now that I think about it, it's not such a great idea, as it disables the autofocus. but maybe it would worrk fine while taking a video

Installed, my comments :
1. proximity sensor only brings up the interface, it does not hide it,
which is a bit annoying, but that my personal opinion, and you can just tap elsewhere.
2. While the interface is being displayed, the camera shutter button does NOT work, You need to go back to camera interface and take the shot, in this case, the half press is not intercepted by lFocus, and the manual focus is replaced by auto focus.

Suggestions :
1. Make proximity sensor toggle the UI on/off.
2. Add a checkbox to the left of the manual focus progress bar which will control the functionality of intercepting the half press.
This will allow one to set manual focus, remove the UI to get fullscreen without dimming / blurring - take the shot without auto-focus getting in the way.

Good job mate,
I enjoy doing QA for you.
Eitam.

Edit :
1 more bug, which existed in all versions as far as I remember.
- The hw keyboard shortcuts do not always work on the 1st hit, they sometimes require double click, even if you just toggle red light on off on hw keyboard this happens.
