How can i remap the home key to take a picture while in camera application
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I believe the Camera app has to be modded in order to do this.
Oh, well that sucks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I know how to remap it to do other stuff, such as open the camera. But I guess I can't make the camera take with it

Check this out: http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-camera-mod
Not sure if it works with our version, but try it.
You can remap it by editing
System - usr - keylayout - sec-keys.kl
And you'll see the "home" entry. Change it to camera.
But you will lose "home" option unless you have soft keys enabled

How can I take a screenshot on this phone?
Three ways: hold home and power at same time, use s pen hold button and hold on screen, or swipe Palm across screen (though I can't get this method to work).

For the palm to work you need to cover the sensor and swipe from left to right.

I was wondering if we could somehow enable soft keys to pop up when the S pen was removed from the phone? I know there is an app that you can use gestures for the S Pen, however using soft keys on the bottom when the S pen was pulled out would be an awesome feature.

ThatWould be pretty cool. And helpful

I bet it could be done with tasker. Ill give it a shot.

last time someone brought this up the quick gesture option built in was given as a good replacement of soft menu....but i could see tying a soft key app to the pen extraction being do_able..like the memo pop up option

well...not exactly what he was looking for but a start.
here is a quote from the original post linked
not for me but it works. the app "soft keys" would be great but it does not work. looking through the orig nook color forum might find something.

Hi
I saw this method on how to enable soft-keys mod .
Here we go.
navigate to system/build.prop
go to the bottom of the page ( document )
add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save
reboot
check
Peace

this worked for me, but do you know of a way to disable the hardware keys so that the software ones are the only thing that works?
namely the hard home key the post answered menu and back

go through that thread and some of the threads linked from it...in one of them they go over how to disable them
be cautious though...the menu soft button does not appear on the home screen

maxq1 said:
comment out lines on /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl, like so...
Code:
# key 158 BACK
# key 172 HOME
# key 139 MENU
physical home button, however, will still wake up the device (which i prefer) and long pressing on it will bring up s-/google- voice. if you wish otherwise, you can disable it altogether by editing the line on gpio-keys.kl (same directory as above)...
Code:
# key 172 HOME WAKE
then turn off lights via settings/display/touchkey light duration. works on both ics and jb sammy roms. HTH

I understand how to change build.prop to take advantage of enabling and disabling the soft keys. However I was wondering if maybe one of our smart devs would be able to incorporate it into a rom, so the soft keys are disabled when the Spen is in the phone, but then enabled when the Spen is taken out. This would be a a sick feature!!!

Just trap the rise in between your volume up and volume down button. Then you can save the screenshot.

I understand how to use quick memo to take screen shots of everything but my lock screen. Can someone explain to me how to do it? Thanks!

Volume down and the home button? When I try all I get is the quick remote thing pop up at the bottom. Is it just a matter of timing?

Should be volume down and power, not home. Just press both at roughly the same time and hold.
