This is for the people who havent figured out how to screenshot yet and keep asking how or if we can make it so they can. Here you go guys its very simple actually.
All you have to do is qiuckly press the camera button AND the back button at the SAME time. After this it will open the Camera and if you swipe to the right it will bring you to captured and your screenshot will be there.
Hope this helps anyone wh wants to know!
True, but you dont need to press them both at the same time really fast. All you need to do is half press the camera button LIGHTLY and then press the back button. Much simpler and plus it wont go straight to the camera

Didn't notice it till today, but my camera button (#5) isn't working? When you hit it, nothing happens.
I thought maybe it was a bug in the rom I'm using S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V1) so I flashed back to MRH_8.4_Sun Shower. Button still doesn't work, so I remapped it to Button #4 (Comm manager) and now when I hit Button #4, the camera comes up and I can see everything on the LCD screen but I still can't take a picture?? When I tap Button #4 to take a picture like you normally would with Button #5, nothing happens?? It doesn't take a picture?
Is there another way to take a picture from within the LSD screen while your viewing the shot you want to take? There is all kinds of adjustments for taking pictures on the LSD, but I don't see an actual button you could tap on the LCD to take a picture?
Dont know but...

Don´t know the answer but i think you will have more luck reposting these on Hermes - Hermes Thread.
Good Luck.
Thanx. You might be right. I keep it here for now and see what happens. I don't want to get in trouble posting the same question in a bunch of different forums.
may be try the button 5 fix from my 4shared ... I am sure the camera worked when I tried starbase's

What's the file called? I looked in the Cab section of 4shared, and didn't see anything in there regarding it.

If your camera button is broken, and you have mapped camera.exe to another button, cant you just take photos using the d-pad to operate the shutter?
The other thing you could look at is VJKeyPress from vijay555, as then you could set any hardware button to press the enter key and take a pic. I'm not sure how you would go about setting the same button to open the camera and open the shutter, but maybe a 3rd party app so long press opens camera, and short press takes photo.
happened to my Hermes too. I dropped it from my pocket and it does exactly what you say.
Just use the center button on the d-pad to take a picture.
My Camera Button don't work, too. So, I use the center button on the d-pad to take a picture, too.

SWEET! Thank you! I never thought of that. I love this forum!
I thought the camera button was #4?
At least it is on my phone. Your not trying to map the wrong button are you? Or did I just get really confused by reading the thread? haha

I think your right. It's button 4. I moved it to the comm mgr button 3.
Low Memory!
I re-routed the camera to the comm mgr button #3. Now with the TouchFlo rom I'm getting a low memory error message and the camera won't load!
I'm going to switch roms and see what happens.
SUCCESS!!
I just installed a new version of the TouchFlo 2D rom. Still couldn't get button #4 to work, but after I re-routed it again to button #3 - YES! I have a camera again!! No error messages!
I really like this version of the TouchFlo 2D rom. Works great so far - no hard resets after 8 hours of use. AND my camera works with it without low memory error messages.
That's what I'm talking about!! (see signature below for version)
Thanx everyone!
Hello! Nobody working to map the Home or Power On button to take pictures? Regards..
Yeah, was looking for this as well... Looked into tasker but that doesn't seem to be appropriate for it (was thinking something 'in camera app, if btn pressed, do this)
power button for taking pictures would be awesome!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
wouldn't that mean you cant turn off your phone or on because if theres a dedicated camera key theres no power button
i´d say the camera app should be modded to use the power key, so only when camera is open this is true.
well on JM2 the powe button does something when you use the camera ... it lock every function
that's weird because you can't do anything ... no taking pictures, no killing the app, only unlock it by pressing the power button again
I agree this i cool in the video player
but in the camera ?!?

Selftimer.
Not a self-timer afaik. Even a lock icon comes up. I have used it a few times. Basically when you wait to take a picture you can have the picture app open and then have it in the pocket ready to be taken out, so you don't have to worry about a) opening the app quickly when you want to take the pic, b) having the app open and taking pictures/returning to home when you don't want to. Not a "must-have" feature by any means and it probably uses a lot more battery than just opening the app when you want to.
Changing it to take pictures would be most welcomed. Tapping on the screen is quite a delicate thing when you don't want to move the phone at all.
I meant that it could get practical if you put the camera on selftimer and lock the screen so you don't mistakenly press any button.

ok, but i found this still stupid
it empty the battery for nothing, and people who don't take much attention won't see the lock icon so they will think : **** it bugged ....

I was looking at this, as I want some way to take pics quickly. Home and Power button don't seem easily do-able, but does anybody want the following?
Quick launching app that you can put on your homescreen, that launches a camera preview. Tapping on the screen takes a pic and saves it to /sdcard/$date.jpg
Not quite a dedicated camera button, but should be very fast for taking a quick picture. If a couple people want it, I'll throw it together quickly. (Might just throw it together for myself quickly anyway )

I find the lock function to be useful when taking long videos as I've accidental knocked the stop button on occasion by accident.
On a second note, if a physical shutter button was sought-after wouldn't the volume buttons be more effective as the power button is fairly near the top and you'll probably end up covering the lens versus using the volume buttons on the bottom (this is presuming you're taking pictures in landscape, right?)
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

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

thanks for this
Don't really know why this app was never mentioned here.
I know it from my Archos 70 times.
To know what it does its best you look in the play store for it, but I want to tell you for what only reason I use it.
You can have shown all buttons you would have as hardware buttons, but that's not the point.
If you use the pro version you can edit and reorder those buttons, and that's what I did.
I choose only one button and that was the menu button, when only one button is mapped it directly uses that instead of expanding than I put the icon to the lowest right corner., and there you have the menu button, now you can use recent apps button like intended without having to map it to long press or something else.
Sure you can do the it with the recent apps button instead, whatever you prefer or use more frequently. Will try it the next days and see if it's practical in daily use.
You can see the button in the picture attached, you can set 3 sizes, for now I try biggest, that's what you see on the pic. I don't think it's interfering in use because it's totally in the corner which u don't use that much.
This way you get the speed of the recent apps button with the comfort of having a menu button
Let me know what you think of it
Sent from my HOX running ViperX
"Squeeze control" if u know wat I mean. But back to on-topic, u know that u can have recent apps and menu at the same time in one button? Look for it in tweaks.

Yes but only with long press that's to slow and uncomfortable sometimes.

So I was holding my phone in my hand, not touching the power or home button, but I wiped my screen off with my hand and it somehow took a screenshot..??? I tried to replicate it but it won't happen, is there some alternate way to take screenshots in 6.0 that I don't know about..?
Thanks!

If you swipe the side of your palm from right to left it screenshots it that way. You have to do it at a certain speed though and by your palm i mean making it look like you're chopping something in half.. To see what I mean go into Settings and then look for Advanced features and you'll see "palm swipe to capture" tap it and it will show you how to do it.
