This enables you to take a picture with volume rockers and makes your camera record in better resolution. Also REMOVES THE BARRICADE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE CAMERA ON LOW BATTERY.

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.

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.

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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

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

I just noticed this now because I wanted to use the feature but my Rogers SGS3 can't take pics during video. The buttons not even there. I thought we were supposed to have that feature. Anybody else have that? Fix?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I thought that while recording video all you had to do was touch the screen to take pics?
That just causes it to refocus on that area.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Are you sure? I don't think you can manually focus during video recording. Taping the screen during recording looks like it is refocusing the camera but that is in fact the animation it makes when it is snapping a still during recording. No sound, no sliding to the side animation like when taking photos. Just that slight focusing effect to let you know you it worked.
Check your gallary.
Not working, tried that. Just refocusing the video. You can see a button on the bottom right that says AF to establish AF again. No pictures in the gallery.

I am on rogers and can take pictures during video.
when making a video all you do is press the little camera icon beside the red record button
I noticed that it says nexus so iam guess your not on stock rogers?
I'm with rogers using a custom rom and that feature is there

That is odd. Sorry I was of no help. Not sure what the issue is and unfortunately I'm not on a stock rom so I cant dig thru the cam/settings to be of any help.
Can someone who is on a stock rom that is able to take stills while recording post a screen grab of their cam app to show what its supposed to look like?

If you have anti shake turned on then the option to take pictures while video recording is not there. Simply turn off anti shake

It does I solved your issue use a different service. That's not hard to comprehend at all. Clearly the built in screen shot isn't that great so use a different service. There are plenty of options on the play store.

Thanks again for ur response but I insist this does not solve my issue since I want the STOCK SCREENSHOT SERVICE to have a better quality and I bet that changing the build. U can do that unfortunately I don't know which properties to change for it to be done and that's why I ask the question here to see if any DEV could lead me into the right direction otherwise I would've just go to the play store and download one of those screenshot apps u mention!!

Why try to figure it out? As an app thats like 80kb and does a better job dude clearly that rom dev didnt want it to be best quality. You could have already taken a thousand of screenshots in perfect quality if you had just downloaded an app.
I don't understand you reason to use the built in service. Your not benefiting At all.

The reason why I want the built in is because the apps either put an icon on the screen or u have to use a shake movement for it which makes it bad since I'm always moving and the damn phone start taking screenshots if I find one that I could just merge it into the power menu or the screenshot combination buttons then yes it works For me
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I honestly can't see a difference from the screenshots I take with the built in feature and the original screen. They look the same when viewed on my phone unless I send them thru the messaging app which compresses them.

See thats easy to fix. Dude in most apps give you the option to turn it off any other ways to do it. And when I try to take a screenshot with power menu it would hit pause on games and bring me to a menu. Unlike using an app where it doesnt have that issue.

an app will not embed it to the power menu thats done within the ROM itself ask the Rom Dev to bake it in.
But an app like screenshot by Kastor Soft with the nexus icon for the app is really good.
Was looking through the settings in the camera app that comes with the slim bean rom. What do the following options do:
Smart Capture
True View
Power Shutter
Not really sure what those settings enable/disable.
Any help with the explanation of those would be great
Thanks.

Power shutter is really exactly what it says. Select it, reboot and your power button is now a button to take pictures.
Smart capture is also neat. Here's a video of it working.

I don't know about True view, my guess is it's for the front camera, it'll show you what the picture will look like, not a mirror and than flip it in processing. Just an educated guess though.

I know it is an old thread. But, in case still you haven't read about it:
TrueView faq from slimrom.net
True view is a camera feature to show the whole field of view of the camera.
By default the field of view is stretched and cut on the sides to fit fullscreen.
