menu button as camera button - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I apologize if this has been brought up, however i'm certain that this will help plenty of us
but would it be possible to use the menu or volume buttons as a camera button?
thanks in advance!

i posted in the international galaxy s3 Q and A section as well. They sent me link to hyperX's mod. This apparently only works for the international i9300 and not any of the US variants. Any ideas on getting this to work with our s3's or another solution?

custom roms have. such as AOKP
Yup
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 AOSP
Asus Transformer - Revolver OC/UV
volume wake
Looking for any updates on this topic
What Gnex GSM ROMs implemented this feature
i tired widgetlocker, but the feature "Easy Wake Mode/any hardware button to wake" doesn't seem to work on Galaxy Nexus unless i'm forgetting or not seeing something, seems like i went through and tried all the options of widgetlocker-but no response to volume keys when device is sleeping.
please point me into a right directions about volume wake
is there a possibility to cook a volume wake mod for other ROMs
Thank you in advance.

Pretty much any/all AOSP based roms have implemented it (4.0.3). The only AOSP rom I can think of that currently does not have it is BAMF, but IIRC it will be in the next version.
Shortlist I can think of:
CM9
Liquid
Gummy Nex
AOKP
Many others...close your eyes, throw a dart, and chances are you'll hit a rom that has it.

Quick question about ICS hardware and software buttons

I'm just curious from those of you who flashed, how is ICS implemented? There was some criticism of ICS replacing the 'menu' button and removing hardware buttons. Do the leaked rom builds use 'software' buttons also or are those functions coded to our hardware buttons (this is my assumption). Does the hardware menu button do anything (i.e. is it linked to 'menus' in apps still?)...how do you feel with the changes in 'search' button functionality in ICS?
I'm hoping to install the ROM myself soon and take a look but don't have the time now and was hoping someone could provide quick thoughts on these issues (I haven't found any reviews or discussions related to this...)
Thanks for any thoughts

Lol why don't you flash and find out =0 jk lol no the factory buttons are still in use I believe only new ICS phones from niw on will have on screen buttons everything as far as hardware buttons work normally only thing different is screenshot is home and volume down
Yeah, i tried to pre-empt that suggestion obviously thanks for feedback, i guess im just gonna have to try it and find out what software isnt working and how search and menu are integrated into the OS and apps. Im not really thrilled with what they did with the buttons going forward actually...we'll see. thanks

Request: Camera to take photos by pressing down the Power button

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

*QUICK EASY!* Phantom Key Press Fix using Revolt JB ROM 10.2 4.3.1 settings!

This is my first time I am ever posting and I am extremely anxious and shy about doing this or if I even make myself understandable and as helpful as I can..... Please if there is something that doesn't make sense please let me know so I can try to be a little more clear....
Now........To Begin
:victory:
I had a previous Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 that did not have this problem at all but I traded it for a black one because I did not like having a white phone and that's where my problems began....I had known the phone had a pressing button problem but I did not know what it was at the time or what it was called. But I was sure there was a way to fix it somehow. As soon as I had the phobe in my hands I saw how horrible it was.....It did not let me do anything not even for 30 seconds without the menu, back buttons, and I was upset because since I had to reinstall a new ROM on this phone (which I don't mind that's the fun part) but the keys kept going off every couple of seconds so I decided to look into finding a way to fix it and I did kinda. And I will post the link to the first one too because it can be useful and work for someone else and if it wasn't fir that post I wouldn't have thought of my fix.
Anyway here is the link to the first one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I followed these steps and basically what it is, is a method where you disable your hardkey that is causing you problems and switching it to the search button since most of us really don't use the search key anyway. But I won't go much into detail the post above goes more in depth. In the beginning it actually worked but then I noticed that the back key started pressing itself and then the menu still presses itself and even now and the search button which was converted to the new menu so I got upset and exasparated because to even do this method took me literally 2 hours because the damn keys wouldn't stop pressing themselves. And then I thought of another method which to me proved easier than that and does work. I simply used the same method but when I got to the General.kl instead of disabling one key I disabled all 4 and bang problem solved! But BEFORE that you need to make sure you have already installed an app where you can get your hardkeys on your screen and set it up to where you kniw your keys all work * OH AND YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED FOR THE SETTINGS FOR MENU AND BACK WORK! *. And I found a really good and free app in the market that is easy to use and wont get in the way of your screen while typing and customizable. It is called "Floating Toucher" and once installed and set up and disabled keys in General.kl and rebooted phone everything was working fine!!!! AND IT WORKED JUST FINE YOU JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO NOT TOUCHING KEYS ANYMORE AS THEY DON'T WORK BUT ITS TRUSTHWORTHY!....
Anyway I when all this happened I had GB27 4.1.2 and I wanted an upgrade so I flashed to Revolt JB ROM 4.3.1 (will post link to this ROM if you are interested in this method) and after that because the phone reset itself the hardkeys were enabled again. So because I it was a new ROM for me I looked in depth at their settings and there is where I found my solution!
1. Go to your settings and you go to Revolt Control.
2. When you are there you will see they have extra settings for the phone.
3. Scroll down to: Pie Controls
4. Click on the first setting that says: Pie Controls/ Allows navagation and status report and enable it.
5. Customize the settings how you want then to be to your liking!
6. Go back to previous menu.
7. Scroll down to: Soft Keys Options
8. Click on: Enable Soft Keys Options
9. You will notice all four of your hard keys are there including the setting when you long press them. Simply click on each one and press blank on all of them.
10. Then you go to previous screen and reboot and there! Easier than having to install over apps or disable keys! Its in the settings already and I am extemely happy now! No more Phantom Ghost Key!!!

And I hope this helps someone!
Man, you have a lot of patience posting a guide in a wrong device forum... You link to a ReVolt ROM for HTC Rezound, and here we have Samsung Epic 4G, which doesn't have ReVolt at all (all we have is a buggy CM10.2).

Still the wrong device forum... You have an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710). This forum is for Epic 4G (SPH-D700), a totally different device with a slide-out keyboard. There's a separate forum for your device.
Sorry if all these sound rude, I simply wanna guide you to the right place

OHHHHHHH I SEE I'VE ALWAYS GOTTEN CONFUSED ABOUT THE DIFFEEENT S2 MODELS AND WHAT NOW!!! Honestly it was much harder when I first trying to even learn about root and try..... Before this phone was a BOOST Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710BST and proper files to flash was extremely hard to find. But I flashed it to Sprint and it was slightly easier then. But yea I do continue to get confused with these names especially cuz those 2 sound so similar. ...darnit !
Well I looked for their forum and its under maintenance so I have to wait....
Sorry for the mistake!
And no you're not being rude in the least thank you sooooo much !!!!

[MENU] Secret / Hidden Menu for Galaxy S6

I posted this in the Galaxy S6 General thread. Just thought I should post it here too.
Being that my phone is a Sprint phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/menu-secret-menu-galaxy-s6-t3160974
GALAXY S6 / S6 Edge SPRINT
SECRET / HIDDEN MENU
I was digging through menus, just nose'n around. and I came upon ,"The All Mighty Secret Menu". Without dialing a code, not even opening up the dialer at all... Go to "Settings", "Activate Phone", and then wait about 1 full minute. At this time the phone will display it's monthly usage report. Then press the "Menu" (the 3 little dots in the corner) button. Then press [PST]... And there she is.... I searched all over Google for any reference to this way to get into the secret menu, but was unable to, so I thought to myself the maybe, just maybe, I was the first to find this.... Anyhow, I wanted to inform the Community that has helped me "So Much" over the years..... Now you know. I don't have my data cable or my OTG cable with me, so I will have to go outside and try to upload the screenshots using my phone, but I am at work and have terrible reception....
I have the:
Galaxy S6 (Sprint) 128GB
Rooted
Sacs Galaxy S6 Edge ROM from here: Sac23_Deoxed_Modded_v3_Mintified S6 Edge ROM
Ktoonsez Kernel
Thanks for your time,

Thank you for this. Good find. The only difference I had, is that I had to click on more, in the top right corner. Instead of 3 dots. Thanks again.

If you flash an Edge ROM you need to flash a non-Edge kernel afterwards.
I wrote out detailed instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...how-installed-edge-rom-tricked-phone-t3138394
nvm
you can get the same menu on stock btw exact same steps
How do you do this for the Samsung Galaxy on5
