This way instead of taking photos with back + home we would take it with power + home which in my opinion is much easier, although maybe its just me.
What do you guys think?
I'll take a look onto it tomorrow since today i'm really busy
or at least use button remapper
Anyone interested in helping?

do you have information which app is responsible for this service?
EDIT: googled around and found: Press Back-Button and while Back-Button is pressed, press Home-Button "é voila"
works with my sgs 1 and JVR
interesting feature^^
or it is only that you want to do it with other key-combo?

for that you just have to copy system/app/screencaptureservice.apk from for example ramads deodexed rom (any gingerbread version should work)

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!
Just worried about accidentaly pressing it lol.
Nice, good thinking bud. Even if you double click on accident if its linked to my app you still can just close it without launching Haret.

Hi,
--JPU version--
i modded the Camera.apk a bit.
Changes:
-take Pictures with pressing power button.
-Take pictures even if your battery is at 2%
You can apply it with my SGS Tools app or push it manually to /system or with Muspelheim (http://softdevs.wordpress.com/muspelheim/)
If you are not on JPU or newer, choose Camera_old.apk !
See the code changes here
Changelog:
Version 4:
-based on jpu
-exif data correct again
Version 3:
-focus before taking picture when using power key (not sure about it)
Version 2.
-use the power key instead of volume keys
Version 1
-initial release
Wow looks awesome, will try it! thanks
omg, i needed this last night... went to U2 concert and phone batt was too low (stupid me!!! lol).

I tried upgrade Stock Apps from SGS Tools, but nothing happens. No Change.
No point in Upgrade Stock Apps is changing my System.
Edit: Stupid. I forgot the checkbox.
You have root and busybox is installed?
Next version of the app will show if there appears errors while applying..

No everything works. Was my error, your app is working. The hacked cam is really nice.
Some suggestion for hacked gallery3d: enable autorotation at start and disable on exit.
Great work! Was searching earlier this week for an hack/app that would use the power button als capture button but could only find a very old thread about this on XDA.
Wondering why someone didn't attempted this before, it seems so natural. Samsung should have made this the default behavior in the first place, locking the camera with the power button caused pain when I accidentally pressed it the first time I got my SGS and it wouldn't respond..

Indeed it would. Either making it a selectable option or disabling it altogether is fine by me.
Nice work, btw.
So many people requested the feature of being able to change the uses of the three buttons provided by HTC to us.
We all were disappointed when they decided to remove the menu button.
So i have a workaround which I will show you. If you feel it is a little complicated I have included it in the latest version of SuPrimo Rom. So feel free to use that.
Requirements:
1.) Root
2.) Any root file explorer
Steps:
Go to the root explorer and navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/atmel-touchscreen.kl
Open it as a Text File.
Replace the text in the file with
Code:
key 102 HOMEkey 249 MENUkey 158 BACKkey 217 SEARCHkey 139 APP_SWITCH
Reboot your device and that should be it!
I have made a flashable zip...I have not tested it!
Link: http://uploading.com/files/7ed4c977/shubhamchamariaKEYMOD-flashable.zip/
It is only half functional....Multitask button becomes menu button but you can't use multitask
Recovery shows only single press in key test so it is tough to make it long press home..If anyone knows how to do key test of long press...please tell me!
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED!

Any progress on getting this to work properly/reliably? Home long-press as task switch and "task switch" as menu makes a lot of sense if it can also remove the menu button in older apps.

Is there a way to make the circle button not to be recognized as the back button on an jelly bean rom ?
Particularly on emulators like n64oid where the back button toggles a bar, it's really annoying
I tried modifying the keylayout but it completely bugged up several other keys
Any help here ?
Thanks in advance...
I would also like to know.
Gingerbread and ICS instructions too if possible.
you need to edit a keymap file , not sure where it is on jb
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk 2
even when u edit the keymap, not every app will detect it properly..., and u risking mess up other key, this is never ending bug story with un-official (non beta) ICS & JB Rom..
I TRIED modifying the keylayout files, but it messed so much other keys that I abandonned, perhaps I did it incorectly ?
It messed up the home key and most of the keypad, just for changing 305 to BUTTON_B
EDIT : fixed it : found a mirror of a fix, and it worked flawlessly thanks for the help anyway

Where is this fix? because my circle button is fine now but the select button now acts as back. What needs to be changed? I will ask some of the Nexus 4 devs to make the neccessary changes.

Post #1 requires you to make changes to your build prop. Note this doesn't fix circle button 100% correctly.

Thanks, but I think I have sussed it shortly after my last post without any build prop editing. though when I save the profile in sixaxis it doesnt show the profile in the app but there is an output file on the sdcard. I will post the details later. Dev was very helpful
Ive been trying to make my home button function the same as the power button. First I made a nandroid and rebooted andthen went here--> System/usr/keylayout/generic.kl and changedkey# whatever-said-home to say POWER. rebooted and it didn't work, it worked just like normal. Then I went back and changed every key that said home to power anywhere in the keylayout directories and still, it works like normal! Any advice or knowledge to help me solve this puzzle?
Thanks!

Sent from my Kangadore 64
Well for starters, did you reboot?
There should be a thread in one of the US variants forums that tells you about the key layouts.
Theres also an app that will give you info on what button you just pushed.
Been a while so cant remember the name and dont know if itll be compatible, but maybe someone else does and will chime in.

I've rebooted with every change. I tried theapp that tells you what button you pushed but it doesn't show what the power or home buttons key in as, its in the FAQ of the app I don't know what the issue is, I can change other buttons around but this one refuses to cooperate.

You have to edit the sec-keys.kl file to whatever you want then reboot. Generic.kl only takes effect if sec-keys.kl isn't there. So edit sec-keys.kl then reboot and you should be golden

@OP....
Got a better idea. Download apex launcher, and download screen off and lock.....
Open apex settings, behavior settings, home button...
Have it launch screen off and lock when pressed. Your phone will now turn off when you press the home button from your home screen.

all they did was change what function the home button does. Look at a few posts up to see the file they changed and it's quite self explanatory, you will see a list of four buttons and their default assignments. Then you can either disable one by putting a # in front of the entire line or change them to say make the home function as a camera button.
