[REQUEST]Use Volume Buttons as Camera Button - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have done a search but cannot find a thread that asks for this.
Is it possible to create a mod that will allow for the volume buttons to be used as a camera button, when in the camera app I mean? Thanks.

already done..flash manhattan rom!

Cheers. Flashed the ROM last night and it is fantastic. I hope more people incorporate it into their own ROMs soon.

Take a photo with volume button

Hi, first excuse me if i make some spelling mistakes i'm french
So I just want to know if there's an app wich allow you to take a photo by pressing the up or down volume button. It would be a very easier way to take photos.
Thank you !
Search for AEButton Plus and remap one of the volume buttons to the camera-function.
Works fine here
can you give an extra help with that?
All i could do is to make the volume button to open the camera.
How to take a picture with the volume button??
thanks
Oh, you actually want to use the button to take the picture. Well I don't know
It's not possible... I was trying hard to find out in past but the only thing I was able to do was mapping stylus-out event to press enter action using MobileMagic, but it worked only for taking exactly one photo, then it just stopped working and never worked again (probably until next hard reset )
help....please tell me how to take photos with volume button....?
It is not possible, the volume buttons are disabled when the camera app is running. Open the camera and press the volume buttons - does it change volume? No, it doesn't.

"Not Done"... meaning someone is doing it currently? Mind sharing with us the link to the thread? big thanks!
I think nobody's working on it... it's not possible as the volume buttons are disabled by camera app (run camera and press volume - any effect? no).
yes but any application or script who enabled the volume buttons with mobile camera?
??

only works if you open the app that we install and its ready to go.
btw im using kwbr 3.5.6 rom just in case

control the music, when screen is off (Buttons)

Hey guys,
i am searching for a mod for the custom roms (i have leedroid now), where it's possible to change the music track if the screen is off.
for example by pressing the "search" button for the next and the "back" button for the previous song.
I saw that it's possible in OpenDesire and Cyanogenmod to change the track by holding the volume buttons and another mod calling "search2play".
But is it possible to do this with the other hard-buttons by giving them a special action, when you are pressing them.
Thanks

I have been looking for this function too, I was searching media player that can do that and only one I found was astro nova... but you have to press unlock to switch to lock screen and here it is possible to switch songs by long pressing up and down volume buttons
but this is not the best solution, hope there is something better (somthing very simillar to sony ercicsson walkman features)
no idea??
Either use the headset that came with your phone or stop being lazy
I am sure there is something out there, if not, it is possible. You would need to ask a dev.
hehe fine. I'm searching now for a solution for a long time....
I tried to ask in the developers forum but i can't because i haven't got enough posts
i think it would be a great tool for the desire, if someone could create one.
How I said before: it's annoying to switch on the display if i want to play the next or previous song. I haven't got any control buttons on my earphones either- normal AKG IN-Ear.
In the Oxygen 2.0 RC7 ROM, with the screen off, you can skip tracks by a long-press of the volume buttons. Works for next track and previous on stock music player as well as a few others. Can't remember which ones...I'm using PowerAMP and it works for that.
yes i knew that but didn't try it.
so if it's possible to do that, there must be a possibility to do this with the other buttons...
I hope some of the developers read the thread otherwise i think it's a good idea to implement this function (choose a button for action) into a rom.
It is possible to re-map the buttons but I have no idea how it's done, sorry.
yes thanks. i will try to send a massage to a developer team to ask them.
but if there are any ideas please post here.

[Request] Take pictures with the side button?

I know development is kinda sparse here for the droid pro...but anyway someone can modify the camera.apk to allow the side button to work for taking pictures?
yea that would be kinda nice.
Ive got it set up now so that the single side button opens the camera, but it doesnt take pics
Had that feature on my old BB Tour before I switched to the Droid Pro. Really miss that feature. Don't miss much of anything else though.
I posted this on droidforums.net. works with stock GB camera as well as MIUI camera apk which i like a bit better.
I have been wanting to use the side button as a shutter button since I got the Droid Proand it can be done using Button Re-Mapper
You must be rooted to use this app so.... First go to settings>applications>Quick Launch and press/hold side button to clear the assigned app, this setting will no longer work once we remap the button. Open button remapper and scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and click on 246 (Side) and change it to Camera with Wake_Dropped state, apply changes and reboot. This way, along with No Lock app installed, your side button will now wake the phone. Once the phone is awake, press/hold the side button and it will bring up the camera. Now press the side button while the camera app is active and it will snap the pic. Yay.
The next coolest thing would be an app that can reprogram button actions the buttons are pressed/held like on BlackBerry. This would allow press/hold button shortcuts from homescreen without using the search soft key as we have to use now.
THANK YOU for posting this, should be made sticky in a mods page. ButtonRemapper http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 and no lock from the matter go straight in my howto on this phone.
Another thing on my 3.8... verizon latest rom on settings, applications, quick launch you can do something similar to what you are saying pressing search + letter are keyboard shortcuts, like on BBs!
I'll also share that Toggle 2g/3g
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530
works great and with widget it extends my battery even more.
Needs resigning of system apps on droid pro, be very careful and do things step by step adding pause in the batch file..
I added this comment http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17626210&posted=1#post17626210 for procedure with droid pro.s
The app ROCKS!

[REQ][MODS][CDMA]Camera Shutter Button / Notification Togggles

Request 1 --
Coming previously from another Samsung phone... I've had the same gripe before... I don't know if it's possible on the GNex but I know it has been done before on several other Samsung phones.
Our phone has an awesome camera but the Samsung developers continue to neglect obvious features like a dedicated camera button. In CM9, you are given the option to assign different buttons to be used as a camera button and this is extremely helpful. Otherwise, you and fumbling around blindly trying to find the on screen button to take a picture.
Request 2 --
Is it possible to add the power toggles to the notification menu? That was one of the most convenient aspects of Android.
-------------
If anyone could help I would definitely appreciate it, thank you for your consideration.
The notification power options can be built using Widgetsoid from the Market. It's free. This feature is also built into many custom ROMs, like AOKP and CM9 Kang.
Is this what you mean by camera button? Flash this, and then volume up becomes a dedicated camera button - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13899-mod-camera-buttonvstart-and-take-pics-with-volume/

That solution eliminates either the volume up or volume down button. Is there a reason why simultaneous press of both volume up and volume down is not an option to maintain function of the volume up and volume down respectively?

Any way to use volume up as shutter when in camera app?

Coming from an iPhone 4S, I wanted to know if there was a way to map the volume up button to become the shutter when in the Camera app.
The camera in AOKP has an option to use the power button as a shutter.
Most ROMs have an option to use the power button as the shutter as mentioned. The vol keys are typically reserved for zoom; although I can't think of a ROM off hand that has ported this forward to ICS yet.
Well I'm currently using AOKP and never knew this option existed! Just tried it out and it worked great...thanks!
The app shot control lets you map the hardware buttons. Great camera app and only one which makes use of new ICS camera API so far.
CM7 had this as an option, I'm sure the CM team is going to add this in to CM9 eventually.
AOKP has this for the volume rocker and power buttons
