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

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 !

This works great. It pretty safe to use as far as security issues go?

I tried it on my Razr with Jelly Bean and it didn't work.
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.

I'm going have to check that out. Just got this phone the other day so I'm just root and leave roms alone for a min. I am going install that mod

Not finding it for the SII, wondering if there is an app or a mod that would allow us to use the Volume button for the Camera to take a picture with?
Even if it were the power button, but anything but the touch screen option?
I'm using the stock camera so if there is another camera app that does this, please give me a recommendation. Thanks for reading!
Using the power button for camera would be awesome!
Was a great feature on the vibrant. Would love to have it again.

What about a button remap? Like using the search button maybe?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Great idea.
In the meantime, the app CameraFX (paid) has the options to map keys to different functions and yes volume keys to take shot.
You can do this in CM7.

Sweet, problem solved! I think I got it for free from Amazon daily app or the 10ceng app deals..
Either way, I have it and will be using it for now.
Yep, I've been using Camera Zoom FX since they had it for 10 cents a while back. It's my default cam now because you can touch the screen to take a shot, plus remap the volume keys. Also there are a lot of settings you can go though as well. I recommend the app over the stock cam.
i just notice when i try to take a picture from far away i can zoom

which Camera App are you referring to?
Wow I have had this phone since day one and never even noticed that we didn't have zoom. Just tried the volume key and was shocked. That goes to show I have way too many freakin phones. Not spending enough time with the GSII. Trying wp7 and playing with my Nexus.
F_uck xda. Mods s_uck as_s here. You guys have ran off some of the best developers for our phones because of your arrogance. S_uck my dic_k lame as_s ****_s.
I'm with the zoomable crowd. I can zoom no problem. Are you guys sure you're not holding it wrong?

Pinch zoom and volume zoom both working fine on Juggernaut.
Not sure what you're smoking, but I'm mad you're not sharing.
But zoom works fine here, and I've used it on just about every rom out.

U never could zoom in video mode on stock roms. I believe CM7 had the ability too. Could be mistaken.

Because the camera would lose detail or speed when zoomed in on video mode
Lol I just figured out the spread to zoom option like a month ago...and the volume rocker zoom on accident this week.
Conclusion: We're so smart, we're dumb.

After you flash AOKP roms, there is an option for you to take photos with power button. Although it is still a little weird.

Hi,
There is a bunch of camera apps on the Play Store allowing it...:
Camera ICS+:https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiY29tLm1vYmx5bnguY2FtZXJhaWNzcGx1cyJd (approximates the stock camera in look with more settings).
After:Vignette,Camera Zoom FX,Shot Control,Pro Capture,Camera 360,etc...
All the camera apps (or almost) can settings hardware button to take picture.
