[APP] Hacked Camera.apk

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

Then something went wrong, if you installed it via my app, check if busybox is installed.

Should work on all froyo firmwares, not sure about eclair.

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.

[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.

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.

[Q] How to take a screenshot on HTC Desire HD

Hi, I recently found an album in my gallery with 4 screenshots of my homepage. I must've took them without noticing. So I would like to know how I did that. My HTC Desire HD is running on 2.3.5 with htc sense 3.0. It is also NOT rooted and I did not flash any roms. So if anyone could tell me the shortcut to take a screenshot, I'd appreciate it very much! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

thought this wouldnt be possible without root or special apps("No Root Screenshot it")...
on my rooted phone i just press "power-button+home soft-key" to make a screen shot.

oh. that's cool. Did you use an app for that? Because I have a rooted htc incredible s and I usually need to long press my search button and choose ( screen grabber ( an app from market ) ) and it'll take a screenshot..

There are many apps available in the market to do this, and in some rom's it is included (MIUI for example).

It is a new feature on the new DHD stock ROM with sense 3.0. DHD owners can now take scrrenshots by holding the power button and the home key at teh same time.

On the ICS beta roms floating around for Desire HD, you can just hold the power + volume down key and a screenshot will be taken.

When i try to press the power button and home button at same time..it does not take a screenshot.....am i missing something here..
BTW..i have coredriod rom installed..

Well I found the solution...nothing to do with rom,just press the power key and before the power menu pops up press the home key....just posted to help others..

I use Screecast Video Recorder. It records video and you can also take screenshots by long-pressing the search button.
It does exactly what it says.
There is a free (demo) version if you don't want to pay for it.
However you need to be rooted for this one.
I hope this is what you're looking for..

whoa... had ARHD 6.3.1 for about a month now and I never knew you can take screenshots just by doing that

I use the Screecast Demo to generate a video record, but it was taken with a short duration, Can you help me to increase the duration of my Demo?

thanks dada!!!
dada means in persian brother!!!

Love the screen capture feature ,,, I use it alot ..
BUT I wish you could turn off the camera snap sound, as it looks suspicious if you're making a screen capture in public, like on the train, people will think you're taking photo's of them
Anyone kno how to turn off the sound ?
I think it still comes up even with media/phone volume muted

Neat!!! I looked over the internet and found a lot of button combination like home+back+volume up buttons but none of them worked. Thanks! (deletes screen shot app)
Question: why is it that every time I take screenshot of a video, nothing appears?

I have no idea, maybe you can't do it while watching a video.

Tv off effect

Is it possible to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep on the stock rom?

??

Its called crt animation and not on stock roms! Im sure in time there will be a custom rom that will contain that soon

Try this
There's an app that I used on my TF101. It is a shortcut that locks your screen with a variety of effects:
Screen off and lock
It's free in the Play Store. No root required.

I dont want a custom rom on this phone.

What are you talking about? Did you even try to install the app that I linked to?

Lol

my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=

The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.
