There's also an app that can remap what the volume buttons do in certain apps. Think it was called camera ICS+, but I havne't seen it updated for the latest camera though...

Forgive me if there's an easy answer to this that I missed, but has anyone modded the camera app to use the volume rocker for shutter a la iphone? Definitely my biggest frustration moving from the OG epic. Glad that it's my only hangup. Searched every forum and didn't see anything.

What a coincidence, look who it is...lol. I know its baked into gtg's NoName ROM. It has volume up to snap pics and if you hold it then it focuses and takes pic. I don't think its out there as a stand-alone mod. Oh, also check your PM's!!

I use hxcamera mod. Not only does it use the volume keys to focus/capture it also incorporates the high bit rate video and audio mod. See post 7 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183334
Also, Camera Zoom FX in the market has the option to map hardware keys. It was one of the 10c apps yesterday so if you hurry you may still get the deal.

I managed to get the app from the market, but that mod you linked to works exactly as I wanted. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if this mod fixes the high gain mic recording issue so videos aren't distorted? How do you install this mod onto a rooted epic touch?
Thanks.
To install on a rooted e4gt all you have to do is save or paste it into the "system/app/" folder. You must have read/write access. I use Root Browser in ROM Toolbox, it has r/w by default (I think). I usually rename the original "camera.apk" to "camera.apk.bak" first so I have a backup. If you have a shortcut on your home screen you will need to make a new one.
I am not familiar with the audio distortion other than it being low quality in the stock camera (64kbps if I remember correctly from other threads). Check the links in the previous posts to see if the high bit rate audio mod addressed the issue.

You know how everyone is complaining about the camera, mainly because photos come out blurry/not sharp. The thing causing that was VERY slight movement when clicking the button to take the pic. It seemed to come out of focus very easily.
Now, with 4.0.3, I can get sharp pictures even with more movement. It's not so "touchy" anymore and stays in focus.
Anyone else notice?

I hope it's true. There's more than one camera bug.
Im surprised how well it focuses in low light with out flash.

You know they could offer a shooting mode that used the phones sensors to detect camera (phone) movement and hold off the shutter until motion is minimized to improve sharpness. You might want a mode that does this but other modes, like sports, that don't delay the shutter.

Good to hear, what about the white haze when near a window. Now, can anyone recommend a 4.0.3 ROM without any visual mods?

You can change the boot animation yourself. Here's a link to a 720p version of the default ICS animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380655&highlight=animation
EDIT: I've found the 720p version of the original Galaxy Nexus boot animation lags a bit, so if you're not happy with that one here's a link to a compilation of boot animations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364044&highlight=nexus+s+boot+animation
My personal favourite so far is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764
wish google would add an option for the instant shutter or delayed snap after autofocus. 90% of the bad pictures are taken because the person did not either tap to focus or held down the camera button for it to focus
Same goes with panos, I wish they gave you an option for auto panning versus the snap then move, like sgs2 did
Switched to redemption a 4.0.3 ROM and now pics are a lot better. Very impressed.

Why has no one posted a photo yet? Show us some of that 4.0.3 camera goodness!
Hi folks,
Hopefully this hasn't already been asked, is it possible to take pictures on the GN (stock 4.0.2) using a dedicated hardware button? Either the volume rocker or power on / off button would be great.
It would help in keeping the phone stable when taking shots.
I'm just interested in knowing if anything is available. Thanks for the feedback!

Not with the stock camera app. 3rd party apps like camera zoom fx allow this.

Hmmm have you tried using a stock rom?
Auto focus doesn't work for me either. it SEEMS to be working on video mode, but definitely doesn't work on photo mode. I believe it has never been working for me, and I always thought why doesn't samsung phone camera autofocus well like my low end HTC phone (HTC One V). I'm on AOKP nightly, which is actually pretty stable right now.
On HTC phone, even when just previewing the pictures to be taken, it autofocuses when the camera gets closer to an object, but this one doesn't do anything. When I press the shutter button, it takes and sometimes focuses correctly, sometimes blurry (especially when too close to the object, which is not a problem with HTC phone). I can long press the shutter key and i will be able to see if it focuses or not before releasing the key, but why doesn't this adjust right away when preview is shown without touching the shutter key?
Hey I'm currently using slim bean 4.2.2 build 8. I'm looking for a better camera app on my phone because the one that comes with the ROM is very buggy. Does anybody have an app that still has the stock Google 4.2.2 look and feel that is fully working?

Don't know which camera comes with slimbean though.

What's wrong with the camera? Not buggy for me. I like LG Camera from the play store

Snap Camera from the play store works well and has the 4.3 interface
I like the 4.3 stock camera, it gives you the photo sphere option. Other than that, a camera is a camera to me.
How about camera zoom fx... havent tried that, but heard about its reviews....

I also vouch for Snap Camera. It's like stock but with added features and simplicity.
Have to agree with ya'll, Snap Camera is pretty awesome.

Okay, I'm going to be honest here...
Normally I ignore app recommendations from this site because sometimes they're just god-awful... but lgcamera is pretty amazing. It's got plenty of advanced features for serious photographers that left their SLR at home and stumble across a perfect photo opp.
Extremely fine ISO control, plenty of resolution choices, AND the ability to set volume up as focus, and volume down as capture.
Overall, with my small snap on telephoto lens for proper zooming and a touch of manual focus, this app has restored my faith in non-SLR cameras for hobby shots. Best free camera app there is, even if the interface is hideous.

Never tried snap camera but I have a copy of the Google photo sphere (awesome features) camera, this seems to give me much better stills and video compared to the gs3 stock camera. Pm me if you want it I'll forward it to you.

Slightly off topic, I was playing around with the Touchwiz version of the camera for the i747M and it has the anti-shake feature that can be toggled on and off. Is that a HW or a SW based feature?
I like the Touchwiz customizations in some sense but the low DPI hurts my eyes
snap camera win here.
I use CameraJB+ and absolutely love it I used CameraICS+ on my Infuse 4G before this and it took better video and pics than the stock camera......
+1 for camera jb+
