Request: Camera to take photos by pressing down the Power button - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Can somebody make our camera to take a Snap when we press the power button, I'm looking for something like that for a long time but Can't find anything, and by any chance I want to use the original Camera just this mode nothing else.
Please if someone of the devs is capable of doing this I(and many others I guess) would appreciate it very much.
Just like a heads up the Camera version on i9100 on ICS is capable of doing this, but for some reason our devices don't have this option!
Thanks in advance!

Actually, I am using MS_Guru's CM9 and there is an option in settings called "Power Shutter" , which allows you to take a pic with the power button ...

AOKP has this option

Stock CM9 has the option also

[Q] Best ROM for using as MP3 Player? Remove "phone" button and disable cell antenna?

[Q] Best ROM for using as MP3 Player? Remove "phone" button and disable cell antenna?
Just got a droid incredible and I'm using it as an mp3 player (ipod touch killer).
Basically, I don't need verizon service (cell antenna) or the phone button.
What's the best ROM for this? Would like something stable without many (or any) bugs (compared to stock).
Also would like one that would extend battery life if it doesn't sacrifice much else.

I would use one of the stock based roms like my rom Touch of Blue, or jermaines Stock+ rom. I do not know how to turn off the radio in a way that is presistent after a reboot. To remove the phone button you would need to decompile a couple framework apks edit them and then recompile them. Not sure exactly what you would need to edit. I know how to make it not say phone but there would still be a pushable button there that brings up the dialer.
Mabey i will look into making a rom like this for fun. It might get some use now that a lot of people have retired their incredibles and moved to other newer phones.
So even if I use a an AOSP rom, I would still have the phone button issue?
What about using GB with Sense 3.0?
I'll take a look at your ROM, thanks
If the presence of the phone button will bother you, just use a custom launcher with whatever rom you flash.

There's a script somewhere in the dev forum that disables everything but wifi if I am not mistaken, and changing over to something like launcher pro should satisfy your no phone needs.
Try this maybe.

and you can use Go Launcher or Launcher Pro Plus for your custom launcher and have no phone button.
Personally I'd go with Launcher Pro Plus.. I think it's quicker, though the developer has stopped developing it- it's still solid for our phones.
just delete the phone apk on the rom? you can always reflash if you run into issues. it should give a battery increase too.

That will not actually remove the phone button though, it just wont bring up the dial pad.

i was talking as in cm7
Wow thanks for the replies everyone.
For the time being, I've put the phone in airplane mode and kept wifi on.
I will try a different launcher soon - I also have an HTC flyer and had issues with other launchers (stability-wise).
I will root the phone when I get a chance so I can use that script.
a guide to do this
I have a guide that would help you do this.
It probably needs a little updating since i'm doing another phone I will add what ever new info I find

Cool. I am looking to do something similar for my retired Incredible. My goal is to use it as a GPS tracker. Specifically to do this:

Remapping Buttons Mod

Ok guys, I am new to any android evelopment but i now have some time on my hand before starting a job developing embedded linux sytems.
So im sure many people are aware of blubbers menu button mod to remove the ics menu buttons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506
basically ,me included, alot of other people want different combinations of the keys.
For example
Back: SP->Back
LP->Kill App
Home:SP->Home
LP->RecApps
RecApps: SP->Search
LP->Menu
with the introduction of aroma installer it allows different configurations.
So with the help of the rest of the community i would like to create a mod which allows users to select different cimbinations of short press and long press functions for each of the three buttons. Also add an option to disable the ics menu button if desired.
Anyone that can five me a help to get staryed on this, it owuld be appreciated.

cheers man i do remember reading you saying that a while back. However 'no offense' I do not want to install your rom. I would like to be able to have a mod that could allow this functionality on ANY rom.
however i might actually giver your rom a go. im on ARHD 4.0 (been busy with university recently to notice any uypdates) and your rom certainly seems alot better since i last looked at it.

doesnt hurt to try it out...you wont regret it!....and if restore your backup (-;
It'll be awesome to have a stand alone mod to do this, so we can use it with any rom, even stock rooted ones...
j4n87 in your experience do you think it's possible to do this? or the only way is cooking the mod in a ROM like yours?

...sure, would be possible. But within my Rom and with my tweaks they are fully reconfigurable....you can choose between HTC speak, recent apps or any.custom app..and for the back button also to close an app.

I really do appreciate the initiative, and just like you, I do like the rom I am running (CM9 alpha 4) but would love to be able to customise the hardware buttons as I please...
Overall, a mod would allow more flexibility to users...
Thanks in advance!

Hiding the Softkeys

This is a must feature that I NEED.
Does anyone know how I can make it easy to toggle it???
If that option is not available, is there a way I make it go away??? There are a few Roms I wanna try that doesn't support this feature.
Code name android is a stock like ROM that supports hiding the sofkeys

That's not exactly what I'm asking. I know it does do that though. I have tried CM9, APEX, AOKP(current), Paranoid Android, Codename Android, and JellyBean.
I just want to know how I can do this(like remove the Softkeys entirely or create a toggle) when I find a Rom that looks interesting that doesn't support the feature.
I dont own the Nexus but on my Galaxy Tab I have Galaxy Task 14 rom and it comes with an called "Hide Bar". It hides the Honeycomb soft keys. You should give this app a try and I think you have to be rooted.

you named more or less all custom ROMs you will need to ask the dev to implement it, i think. don't that there is an app solution or sth like that.
Am I mistaken, or is this a feature that is readily available in certain ROMs? You're talking about getting rid of the Back/Home/Recents, allowing full 720p glory, right? I'm trying to remember.. I want to say it would definitely be a feature on Paranoid Android, where you can hold the power button to enable/disable the soft keys (it was one of the icons at the top). Hopefully this helps.. Paranoid Android is the way to go if you absolutely need some certain kind of crazy/abnormal setup. (I really want to use it more than I do.. until this phone no longer is my primary contact number.)

There are many ICS Roms that I wanna try(not switching to JB yet. tried it and I'll let devs toy with it more) that doesn't support it to "maintain" the experience of stock.
And I have seen that honeycomb app. It only works for Honeycomb.
On the LMT thread there is a full screen toggle app that let's you hide the soft keys with one cluck. Its called fullscreen. apk.

OK I found it but it doesn't seem to work for AOKP(I Know, it already has a toggle, just testing before I switch over).
Does it only work when there is no toggle built in???
EDIT1: NVM I figured out that u must reboot for the toggle to have any effect.
It works though.

Yeah it needs a reboot to work. But its the only option that works on jelly bean for now. If you are still on aokp then why don't you like the built in feature?

I'm getting irritated of all features in AOKP.
I don't know why but the features are really irritating me.
I've decided to go stock and move with the fastest and most battery efficient Rom.
The Redemption Rom.
And lemme tell u it's fast.
And actually I do use the built in softkey mod feature. Just fed up with the lags and many features(dunno why, I was getting mad though every time I used my phone).

looking for a mod

Does anyone know if there's a mod that exists that moves the back key to the far left and recent key to far right? It drives me nuts when I'm typing and I hit the recent key all the time.

To my limited knowledge there is no option for this unless you are rooted or using a custom rom.
There's an option for it in ParanoidAndroid. Just select Phone UI in the Paranoid Settings.

Thanks for the tip but I want to stay with stock but have the mod. There always seems to be some bugs with Roms and I don't want to lose any functionality.

If you mod... Then it isn't stock then is it?
I don't know why people are afraid of custom ROMs. They aren't very far off from a stock rom except stuff like this is already included.
How is you modding your "stock" rom different from someone modding it for you? All ROMs come from the same place when you have a Nexus.
And, yes, custom ROMs allow you to pick and choose any function and whatever icon you want for up to 5... each having the ability to press and hold for an additional 5 functions. I typically include a phone and SMS button on top of the standard 3.
I'm on Xenon BTW. Its the only rom that doesn't suck my battery down in a few hours.

I'm not afraid of flashing different Roms. I prefer the stock with my n7. Most Roms have some bugs in it. I know I've tried a ton. I just wish I could have the back and recent keys spaced out.

i haven't seen any mod like this yet.
however, i have to agree with the others.
Flash a custom ROM and enjoy.
the stock ROm is built from AOSP
all custom ROMs are built from AOSP.
yes there may be bugs, but they are most likely in the "tweaks" and "add-ons" the developer made, not with the basic functionality of the ROM.

[Q] Losing the extra camera when using a stock 4.4.2 ROM

I wonder what would happen to the extra camera when you flash a stock 4.4.2 ROM. Would it then become useless? And I also wonder what happens to the 'double tap to wake the screen gesture'.
Thanks

Do you mean AOSP? Because stock ROMs are exactly where those two features work. On AOSP, I'm quite sure those features won't be active. Possibly someone could port them over, but then it wouldn't truly be AOSP.
If you mean a Google Play Edition ROM, I don't think the motion gestures will work, but I think the second camera is supposed to be active and functional. Someone who's used a GPE ROM would be able to answer better though, as I'm on Sense, and I'm just pretty sure I read that somewhere.

I dont know about AOSP but on GPE both the motion gesture and the duo camera will work. On gpe just take a pic, go to HTC gallery, and edit the photo you want.
