Camera tweak question - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I was wondering if there is any tweak to take pictures using the volume rocker instead of the on screen button?

I know there is an app I used back in the day called Vignette, and there was an option that allowed shutter control using the volume rocker, but I am not aware of a mod or anything that allows this with the stock camera app.

Aokp ROM has this feature. But it's ICS atm. Their first jb nightly is out, but it's not 100% complete. Wait a little untill a fully featured and stable jb build emerges and you should be all set.

Missing features?

Maybe it's just me but I've noticed this phone doesn't have some basic feature like most “dumb phone" have. I can't seem to find a timer and I can figure out how to turn off shutter noise even if I put the phone in vibrate or silent mode. I know you can download a timer from market but would of been nice to include in the phone.

Simply use the volume rocker when the camera is open to silence the shutter.

The whole point of Android is to customise how you want it. That's why it more or less comes with all of Google's apps and no other apps (by it I mean Google's phones).
Yea. Android has never had a timer by default.

delete/rename those two and it'll remove focus & shutter sound. CM7 had the feature to disable shutter sound, should expect it in CM9.

Camera button alternative needed.

I know I can use the front facing camera to take a self portrait but the picture quality is not very great. Is there anyway I could make the power button double as the physical camera button with having the phone got into power down mode. I search the forum and yet to find decent alternative

if you look again in development there is an aio mod that makes the volume rocker the button. and you zoom in by pinch.
This camera mod works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284486
I have to be rooted I assume

UnNamed ROM that I'm using lets you use the volume rocker. Lots of other great features, I'd highly recommend it.

Volume control

A while back I had a volume control option to lower my music volume while notifications were coming through rather than my music being completely interrupted. I don't remember if it was a system setting, ROM setting or an app. Does anyone know how to get this back?
What rom are u currently running?

Liquid 1.25. I thunk I was on CM when I had the volume lowering feature, but I don't remember.

Luquidcontrol 1.3 now....
Hmmm. I'm not familiar with that series of roms. I know that with aokp there is an option under the volume setting to link or in link the volumes

On Screen Shutter

Am I the only one who is sad that the Stock Camera doesn't have an on screen shutter? I wish it did. It has so many more customizable options than a third party app like Camera Zoom FX or UCam. Sometimes it is awkward trying to hit that tiny little shutter button. Especially chasing a 2 year old. Any thoughts?
Doesn't it have like power or volume shutter

No. That would be awesome too. Apparently I dont have the correct Kernel that supports the MIUI Camera with the power button shutter. That would be very streamlined.

Certain roms have the power/volume shutter button option but I'm pretty sure that the camera ICS app has that option too.. And there is a free version in the play store

Are you on stock tw? I thought it had that option. Haven't used tw since last month but aokp has the power button option.

I'm on the Darkside Evolution v8. The camera that comes with it doesn't hVe it. I'll check out the ICS camera in the play store. See what it has. .
:Update: The ICS Camera in the Play store has the ability to use volume button as the shutter. It works well. I wish it had more custom options but it fits the bill. Thanks !

Volume buttons music control

So when I was on custom roms There was this awesome feature that you can control your music using volume buttons when the screen is off. But I returned to stock and I miss this feature a lot. If you guys know how I can get the feature on stock please share. Thx
Ditto. I loved that feature when I had my nexus s. I'm currently using jedi 7.2 but it isn't part of this rom. Is there a way to add this?

Use poweramp, it's a well rounded music app with lots of extras.
I'm aware of poweramp but it still doesn't give you the option to change songs without turning the screen on.
