(Req) App to route a volume button to camera - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would be nice to be able to have a hard key for the camera. I always thought I just had to have a front facing camera. But I hardly ever use it. Quality to low for me. I'd pay sum good $ for a way to do this. Is it even possible

seconded. Asked for this awhile ago from the guy that was making all those sweet zip mods but i guess he never figured it out.

Here you go bud, unzip and push the file inside to /system/usr/keylayout and enjoy having Volume Up or Search key as a camera button! Should work on any ROM. Please note these files are NOT signed, if someone would like to sign them for me that would be great!

No problem, how is it working for you and what ROM? Both are working for me on CM6.

So is this a simple copy and paste or you do mean push it with adb

I'm on baked snack 1.5 BTW

Well if you have Root Explorer, you can copy paste, but you need to adb push it if not. Just run
Code:
adb remount
adb push /system/usr/keylayout/
adb reboot

Awesome , I've got root explorer. You my friend deserve a beer

Well thanks, i don't drink but i guess i could put up a donate link or something if you'd like.
*Edit* Added donate link to my signature.

Well , for some reason it broke all my capacitive buttons. Had to restore to fix em.

Also, don't you lose the volume function of your phone?

Hmm, downloading BS 1.6 to check to see if there is a difference in the files.

Yes you do lose the function of them, but some people don't care, but for the ones that do i added the search button one, because i know lots of people don't use/want it.

Here try these.

retro camera app in the market lets you do this but it doesn't let you take full 8mp pictures... maybe you could pull that apart and see how its done then we could possibly see about making a new camera app that allows the larger images? just a thought

Bmx I tried the second one you posted. It does the same to the buttons. After reboot they won't work. It does do Sumpin tho , when I press volume up it makes the center frame turn blue like its gonna do the auto focus thing but then nuthin happens. I appreciate your help

Hmm that is really odd, could you pull the supersonic-keypad.kl file for me and post it so i can take a look at it, everything seems to work fine on mine, i do notice i have to tap a little longer on the capacitive buttons, but i didn't change anything but the function of the press, i will have to look more into it for you, sorry it's causing so many issues for you.

I'm just having no luck with this tweak. The copy ,paste didn't work. The flashable signed zips didn't work(thanks nichalaas) and can't figure out term. Emulator. When I enter adb recount ,it says access denied. Crapola. I want ,need this tweak as me and the misses are always snapping self portraits of each other

Will this work on stock units at all?

NOTE: THis is for GSM phones only not for CDMA
Hey guys,
I modified this Cab for me and my friend to start android by pressing the PTT button, yea we are lazy but I figure some of you guys might want try it out also .
All it is the RhodiumKbdControl_GSM.CAB with the Keys already mapped Just Double click button and you’re good to go.
I made one for the RHODIUM but since you guys don't have a PTT button i mapped it to the Mute button on the back, just click it twice and your good to go
Also this is desing to work for Reefermattness cab(Path:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Project Android.lnk)
Thanks to tarkim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
for creating this app.
Instrucstions:
Just Double click the button to launch
Added AndroidlaunchMOD.zip File wich contais 1click/2click/LongPress option for the Tilt2 PTT button. Also added 2click/LongPress for TP2, Just unzip and install the one you would like to use.
Note: Did not add a 1click for the Tp2 version because its mapped to the Speaker mute and did not want to overwrite it..
Requirements:
- .NET CF 2.0
Installing:
- Install SdkCerts.cab (if you dont already have it)
-Tilt2PTTAndroid.cab or RhodMuteandroidMap.cab
- Soft reset
Thanks. I'm totally gonna use this!

+++++1...This method makes it a joke.
Damn, why didn't I think about using this to get help??.....
Oh wait, I actually learned something...
I wish i could, but for some reason when the command prompt comes up, the initial push that should take a few mins, takes about 2 seconds for me, and then the screen goes red, i push a key and it goes away.

This kinda crap doesn't contribute and ruins the forum experience. Ask yourself,.. why? Why say anything?
...Grow up.
@theOP, you started an identical thread in the QA section, please don't double post.
U said you're using win7? Are you opening your command prompt "as administrator"?
I got the same question as Daugusta12

[REQ] Shake phone or Volume rocker to skip songs

Hi there, just curious if this can be done on the SGS. It would really come in handy when the phone is in the pocket, just hit the volume rocker or SHAKE the phone to skip a track. That's awesome isn't it. Any app that can do that?
There is an app called Shake2PlayNext in the market for free, as well as others.. I tried it once but it's too difficult to calibrate when you walk with you phone in your pocket..
I don't know if the same could be done for the volume keys, I think you need a mod for that. I could be interesting though

[Q] ScreenShot App For Deck's ICS Alpha?

So I just installed Deck's Alpha8 of ICS, and wow is it Phenomenal. One question though, I have downloaded like different screenshot apps and all of them have foreclosed or not even started, does anyone know of one that will work, really want to get some nice Screenshots of this awesome alpha build.
You can turn on USB debugging and use one of the tools in the android SDK. Can't remember what It's called but it starts with a d. Google "how to take a screenshot with android SDK."
Edit: once you have the SDK. It's in the tools folder. It's called DDMS.exe
my evo is aggressively runny
sweet i didnt know i could do that, will definetly help for when i get out of work and at home to a real computer
any other way to do this from just the handset?
Power and Home button at same time might work..Depends on phone and Rom if its "baked" in.
Just hold down the power button and an option for taking a screen shot will be there. I think it saves under the DCIM folder, but don't quote me on that.
Sent from my Evo 4G using Decks ICS Alpha 7.
I love you all!!!!

It's actually ddms.bat. I wasnt at a computer when i told you before. just needed to clarify.
Edit: When phone is plugged in and you have opened the program, hit screen capture under the Device menu.

Annoying "boot sound" turn it off!! BOOT ANIMATIONS FOUND HERE!

HAVE TO BE ROOTED. IF the power on sound is annoying to you as to me I changed it off...I will provide a screenshot I used root explorer to rename the file and put a "y" at the end of the file....and the touch sound is little annoying hearing raindrops everywhere so i did the same method. .....
TO change these as something you wish copy a sound over change permissions and rename to what it once was...ONCE YOUR DONE REBOOT;;;
SCREENSHOT shows where files are located for your convenience. ...hope this helps :thumbup:

You don't have to change the touch sound, as there is already an option in settings to disable it.

Why is it when someone post useful info that people can use someone comes and tells people not to do what was told or shown. I bet later somewhere we are gonna see you ask about sounds files and wish gave you insight on how to change sound files and where they are . Just learn and stop always commenting against what contributors say.

I'm not sure how you got that from my post. I was replying in regards to "the touch sound is little annoying hearing raindrops everywhere so i did the same method." I assumed that he didn't realize that the option to turn it off was there. What was wrong with saying that this step is not necessary? I was not being confrontational.
