I'm just wondering if either the Home button or Power button can be used as a camera button.
If you use Apex or Nova launcher (and probably others), you can configure the home button to open the camera app, but not to actuate the shutter.
On my skyrocket a dev implemented volume down to take a picture. Personally I love that feature. I know there's an app called ics camera that you can set up the volume buttons to take pictures, but I actually really like the stock interface of the touchwiz camera.

Hey guys,
Is there a way to change what the camera button, on the side of the phone, opens?

Depends on the ROM. Some have a built in feature to let you change what it does.
MIUI, for example, lets you use a short-press on camera button to toggle anything you want, and a long press open the Camera app.
Is there a mod that will let me use the volume keys to take a picture? And what app do you guys recommend to take pictures or just stick with stock?
I think it would be better to use the power button to take pictures, that way u could use the volume buttons to zoom in and out
App called Camera Zoom FX allows you to assign volume keys to camera. Pretty good app, too.

So I love my s3 but one thing I hate and I think a lot of u do as well is the physical home button...the solution to this annoyance of having to press the home button two apps one is LMT the other button savior...both apps need root...I used LMT on my gnex...on my s3 using button savior and its great. I have it set to auto hide and appear on a right edge swipe...with no icon overlay to trigger..the soft keys are customizable in the pro version...its not for everyone but for me makes using the phone a bit easier.

Nice find i hate the physical home button personally wish it was all capacative buttons and in the pro version would i be able to use one my capacative buttons to wake the device isntead of using the home button ?
EDIT-tried the pro version the capacative buttons cant be changed to do another function
I had the same complaint and so I figured out how to re-enable the softkeys that are built into ICS. I used to have a GNex and I really missed the softkeys. The only issue I have is that the touchwiz apps are built using an absolute size meaning that they get cut off when the touchkeys are enabled but Its not a big deal to me.
I actually like the home button.. It's really convenient if your feeding your baby or your hands are full to just tap the button to wake the phone up.

Nova Prime allows you to remap the Home button function.
The home button isnt bad but it doesnt seem like it will hold up for long

I've seen it mentioned there is a mod in some roms that removes the delay the home button has. Is there a flashable version of this mod for a stock rooted rom? Or is my only route to flash one of the roms with it baked in?
Thanks
It's not a matter of that. It's a voice. When you have it enabled for home button double press, it lags the phone waiting for a second press. Just open a voice and disable the home button hot key in settings and then like no lag

Are there any apps available that allows you to use the nexus 4 hardware keys (volume up, volume down) as camera buttons such as a shutter button. All solutions so far require a camera app replacement but none work on the stock camera app. It would be a really nice feature to use the volume keys as a shutter button on the stock camera app.
There is a ROM on the Galaxy Nexus called Cataclysm which has the stock Google (with Photosphere) app modified to use power button for shutter and volume for zoom. Would be nice if someone did something similar for the Nexus 4...
EDIT: I've PM'd the dev of the GNex ROM to see if he can mod the N4 camera app. Here's hoping!
