Hey,
Just wondering if theres a mod/app that remaps the volume key to be the camera shutter. After using the DHD for a while now, I'm over the honey moon period and there are a few glaring issues that kind of ruin the phone, lack of a dedicated camera key for one is extremely annoying.
try ButtonRemapper, i'm not 100% sure that camera is one of the options u can remap your vol button to, but i know there are u can remap other stuff like Back, Search key etc.
but why don't u want to use the onscreen shutter button? i think using the vol buttons will introduce more shakes to the phone while pressing because the vol buttons are not really protruding out of the body of the phone so u gota press harder.
Or do u want the vol button to invoke the camera? that's 2 different things u know, invoking the camera vs using the vol button as a shutter button to take pictures.
true
true dat

Hello.
Let me know if you can take a picture with a physical button can be the volume up. I tried to Aebuttons but I can not assign the role.
Can anyone help me? Thanks
Nope, tried this for an earlier thread on this theme and the buttons are not available.
Seems that, like the BT buttons, HTC has captured the button press directly when the camera app is running.
No volume buttons in the camera app are available to AEB+

if your ever playing any games and you accidently hit home or any other button then you know what im talking about. since the buttons are touch sensitive you may get some accidental clicks. i wish there was a way you could lock the bottom row of buttons, not sure if its possible though. maybe by combining two of the physical buttons (such as volume up and down) we could lock the bottom row until we need to use those keys again and then we could unlock in a similar fashion. is there anyway possible someone could develop this?
+1 for this. I like the idea of it being toggled with volume buttons, or maybe long pressing the power button and adding it to that menu. It would have to be included in a rom though, you cant give that power to just any app. or you'll never be able to close it without rebooting.
every time i watch a video a hit the search button by mistake. i really wish someone would do this. also it would be better if you hold volume up and power buttons.
Ya I actually just had it happen again with gvba. Note: it really sucks if you accidently hit the back button. Lock please!

I find it hard to hold the phone steady and tap the onscreen shutter.

Vignette, which is about the best camera app out there - a must have - can do this. Though, pressing down on a button would cause more shaking than tapping the screen, IMO.
So basically what I'd like to be able to do is have a dedicated shutter button, i.e. the volume down button
However is it possible for the volume up and down button to function normally but when your in camera mode, it acts as a shutter button?
Thanks
The camera360 app has this function. But on stock app, I'm not sure if any mod has been made for it.

wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.
