Is there no app, utility or whatever to make a hardware key take a pic? Wow even the iPhone now "allows" you to use the volume up key to take a pic, much more aesthetically pleasing and easier to use.
So can an app do this, I would prefer it integrated into the norma camera interface, e.g. say the volume up, you don't need to use the volume up when taking a pic normally?
Does Google Android allow this as such? if so, I might try to right an app/utility, even though I can't code!?!

Procapture on play store does this,it has the option to change zoom key into capture key , sry i dont have a link right now, free version works ok but will only let u take photos in 3mp not 8mp
Yep, "procapture" camera is absolutely the best camera app ATM, no other camera comes even close to the quality of "procapture" but free version only allows 3 MP and that sucks. Buy it and try it...Don't like it? ..return it within 15 min return window..
ps. Use "photo gallery"(fish bowl) app, best gallery on market.
Have you tried the built-in function to take a pic by swiping your palm across the screen?
Whats wrong with the palm across the screen are you that lazy? lol..
Dannybuoy and meemo need to read better... Anyway, I find that using the built in timer is very handy. 5 second timer for example can work even better than having a hardware button.

does anyone have the road SMS app thats suppose to be preloaded with galaxy s phones? is there anyway to rip it and put it on other android phones? looks very practical. Or does anyone know of another app that lays a keyboard over camera shot so u can type while seeing whats in front of you?
Thanks
You have to download it from the samsung apps store (i don't think it's included with any firmwares).
I much like the idea of this app, however the keyboard is terrible - no swype and difficult to see the keys, making it effectively useless imo.
If they used the default keyboard and made the background slightly less transparent, it could be great!!!
No firmware includes this app. It's supposed to be downloaded from samsung market. But honestly this app is horrible.

I like the idea of this app, but it seems like it could use some finetuning indeed
I was wondering if there is a way to use either volume button as a shutter while in the camera app. I've been looking around in the forums but I've only seen threads about using those buttons as power buttons.
Thanks
Retro camera in the market can do it.
this was fixed with style before the evo came out
Dude fx camera zoom is a beast I have been using it it let's you remap any keys or even take it via audio command but in full quality 8mp plus it wouldn't be " fx camera" without some sick fx... UI is great got the volume keys on mine doing zoom with voice activated timer so I could still take the pics really just a whole lot of options bought it 2 years ago on the g1 and a hidden gem of an app
This is already available via the Camera Zoom FX app on the market. Not free, but is there. However I have found that it is buggy as hell.
Bugs I have noticed:
1. Pictures won't save. It's like they are stored in the cache. You take a picture, go to gallery to view it and it won't be there. If you reboot the phone it will be.
2. The "FX" don't always work. There are several effects that come stock with the app. They frequently don't do what they are supposed to or won't load at all. I have found that you can exit the program via the back buttons and then start it again to get the FX to load, but even that has stopped working.
3. It actually asks you to download Task Killer the first time you open the app. Going on about camera apps using memory and all. So in other words it has a memory leak and instead of fixing it they want you to manually kill the task.
It does what some in this thread are asking for. However I wouldn't suggest you buy it.

Wish granted!
I was bored this morning. So i decided to make one... for free! (Also no ads!)
It's called: "Simple Cam" made by Insanity Systems on the android market. (unfortunately i can't post the link because i'm a new user it seems... if anybody's kind enough to do so in a reply i would appreciate it!)
it's 15k in size (and i think most of that is the PNG icon to be fair).
Super simple to use: Volume up to take a snap; Volume down to set the flash.
Saves pictures to sd card in folder "cameraPictures".
ENJOY!
P.S. Have a go at the other apps as well maybe you'll find something you like.

also, this feature is a part of cm7 already
So I used the original Note for a long time and I am used to being able to just hit Menu then Edit on photos to crop or write on them. Am I missing something here or does the Note 2 just lack this ability? I used it quite a bit and I would love to know if there is a way to get it back. I thought I could get it from Samsung Apps, but I see that isn't an option on this phone either. I have tried ones from the Play store but none integrate the same functionality and ease of use.
Any one have any ideas?
View the photo your waiting to edit push your s pen button then tap and hold on screen it will take a screen shot of what your viewing and place it into edit mode for drawing.
A downside to the screen shot method though is that it doesn't save the picture in the sam high quality over what the picture was taken in on max settings with the phones camera.
On a side note I also went onto Samsung apps and was able to get the photo editor app to download, not sure why it wasn't letting you Oo

Samsung Apps isn't even installed on the AT&T version. I downloaded it from Samsung and it says limited device support.

Sorry I don't have a direct answer for your question, but I do have a suggestion. I use PicSay(Pro) for all my editing and it's awesome! Of course I have not used others for comparison, as with PicSay I have not needed to look elsewhere. It is super-easy to use as well as share. I think it has a really nice selection of options. I'm not certain what the differences are between free vs paid version but I can tell you the paid is WELL worth it. I think I saw it on sale via Amazon not too long ago, you may be able to catch it again sometime for a cheaper price? If you are not looking for a seperate app then kindly disregard my suggestion. :angel:
Here it is:

Came from original Note. I'm 99% sure this is the one you want.
Hello All! I currently own an LG V20 and am getting the Pixel XL in February (allegedly). One feature I will need a proper replacement for is the Capture+ app. If you have never used it, it essentially allows you to easily capture partial screenshots with ease. It pulls up four "handles" in the corners of a rectangle, and defaults to a full screenshot size. However, you can move the handles smoothly and quickly to form a smaller rectangle and any spot you'd like on the screen. It was much like the Note 5/7 in that you can get screenshots of only pertinent parts of the screen.
I believe in LG, it's a system app that cannot be downloaded. I'm fine with it being a normal app I need to pull out from the app drawer to accomplish this, but I cannot find any apps that do something similar. Does anyone know of any apps that do this? Any other suggestions for quickly getting partial screenshots? Maybe the Pixel XL has something built into it that I'm not aware of...?
Can't speak for LG, but I'm missing this feature too coming from a Note 4. Since getting this phone I am forced to take full screenshots only, even though most times I needed a small portion only. Would really like to know if there's an app or something for this.

What was it called in the Note? Like "Smart Capture" or something? That was really handy. LGs implementation is possibly even better. Both have their pros and cons.

Yes, Smart Select.
So I found a couple that are sort of nice... Not perfect but will do the trick for now. One is free. One is a paid app. Unfortunately, the paid one is much slicker (comes with 48 hour trial). I attached a screenshot with the two apps shown on my home screen.
Screenshot Crop and Share (Free)
Screen'it (Paid)
Other exciting screenshot capture options
:highfive:

I too wanna port of an app called "Smart Select"【https://youtu.be/OWcAeMXUuS4】 in Samsung S8 which can capture a small rectangular portion, capture in different shapes (predefined or using lasso tool), LONG CAPTURE and a GIF CAPTURE with various pro editing options.
If someone finds any app with all the above features, please reply!!!
48 hour trial would be worth it.
I know you can edit your screenshot and crop after, but be interesting to see what people find/recommend for a non native app
For those unaware, you can do this in Lineage without an app. Just add enable screenshot option in the power menu and then long press it and it will let you drag and select an area to screenshot.

The thing about the Samsung version of it is that the selection area let's you reposition then capture. Also has settings to share directly and cancel without saving. I believe right now the rom that does this natively is RR. It even scales the whole screen down so you don't have to drag to the very edge.
Did anyone ever find out about or port this app
I use fooview
Im always on the lookout for a better camera app on this phone, and so i found this one. Its called "free camera" there is no ads or popups just a ask to donate. It seems to still have issue with exposure but that said it works awesome and has some pretty cool features. The thing i thought pretty cool is it allows you to choose if you want to use the volume buttons to control taking photo/zoom/exposure/focus/nothing. Here is a link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.freecamera
free camera is a copy of OPEN CAMERA which is recomemnded by alot of people i suggest u use open camera instead just saying
