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.

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

Any method? Power button also great... Just tired to use soft button.
Most custom roms have this option if you go into camera, then go to settings, then Camera Settings (more), then Power Shutter toggled on On. I have attached my Camera.apk that has this option, but you have to push it to /system/app

Thx dude yeah I can use it
But I found that it is inconvenience to use power button since it will make the phone sleep or even off
So the question is here how can I use volume buttons to capture photos with stock rom?
What do you mean using the power button will make the phone sleep? The camera app disables the power button as a 'lock button' when in 'power shutter' mode. When you press the camera button, it just takes a picture and doesn't do anything else. If you want to lock the phone, just press home then power. It's just one more button press.

You can use my application, search in google play "Photo Button - Spy Camera" by Mgrmobi
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.

ARCS's camera button can't wake up phone and open camera.
This always let me feel bad.
Like TX Lt29i, I can press camera button to wake up phone then press it again to take a photo.
It is so convenience to press camera button twice and power button once.
Can some make camera button more useful?
If camera physical button can't do this job, why I need it?
I just open phone and open camera then take a photo without physical button.
Like the movie "hotel transylvania" that guy just press physical button.
When I saw it, I just want to know where I can buy it.
Every time using camera, I complain it that I waste 5sec to open phone and open camera.
If this camera button has its real function, I think it's be more better.
There is no way for make this. Most quick way is: Opening camera from lockscreen
There is no way for make this.

And how do you know? Seriously, prove it.
Can somebody please show me how to remove the camera icon next to the Emergency call button? I'm having so many accident camera shots while the camera is in my pocket.
Thanks,

I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that. But is it possible that the double-click of the Volume Down button is triggering the pictures, not the on-screen shortcut?
If it's in your pocket, the proximity sensor should detect that, and prevent the screen from turning on, either by a double-tap to wake, or by pressing Power.
But I was able to make the camera start by covering the proximity sensor and double-pressing Vol -.
You're probably right. Is it possible to disable the double pressing Vol- feature?
Thanks,
M.

Never mind. I found the answer: just turn off the shortcut key.
