i don't know if it's in the development section or not. But, i have an idea to implement the crt-off animation using third party apps.
for now, i have successfully hook the power button press in my application. since i've done that, here's my idea:
Power Button pressed
my app called by powerbutton
my app screen captured the whole screen and put it into ImageView or something
animate the View by shrink it to the middle
know i have a problem with taking a screen capture using JAVA, since it's third party apps, my application must run in the memory, because the power button doesn't CALL the app, but my app HOOK the power button.
You know it's still idea, reviews are welcome.
It's a bold move, but it might just work!

You can capture the framebuffer for screenshot.But that requires root permissions.To run the app all the time make it a service and capture boot completed broadcast and start service on booting.

If you have titanium backup, can you not reinstall from list out deleted apps.
This only applies off you made a backup.
If you select backup restore, scroll to bottom of list and it should show a list off apps with a line through showing which apps have been deleted but still have backup data select and restore app with data.

Thanks, but the feature mentioned above does not support codes so it does not work when the phone is locked.
Do you have a GS3?
Why not try adding the camera app to one of the shortcuts on the lockscreen?

This is why:
1) Faster camera launch.
2) You don't have to enter a password every time you want to take a picture yet your phone its still locked/secured.
3) If you want someone else to take a pic, you have to stop and unlock the phone first or give them your password.
4) When the shortcut is on the lock screen, you have to enter the password before allowing you to take the pic. You'll miss the moment.
5) With Windows 7 and Crapple you don't have to unlock and could quickly launch the camera. Also, all the pictures you take at the moment are visible w/o unlocking.
It would be a good feature to have on the GS3.
Would be a great add on

of course that would be an inconvenience if you have a password on your phone (which i understand most people do.) i on the other hand do not as i dont let my phone out of my sight. i use the shortcut but thats just me and like they say to each his own right.
I would assume if you have a pin unlock code or something else it would be there no matter what app you use

There is an app for this but it requires having a dedicated shutter button on the device.

If memory serves me right, that has a dedicated camera button. If you really really really want this feature, you could remap the home button to function as your camera button, then run the navigation bar that appears in galaxy nexus devices and devices without hardware buttons
Can't you make a tasker function for that

You can wait for Android 4.2 since this functionally is now built into the lock screen.

Yes it does but I didnt have to use the button to do it. You pushed the unlock button, then slid the lock ring onto the camera icon (assuming you had it on your lock screen) and you could take a picture. You would see the 3 sec preview of it, and then take more pics. If you tapped the small pic of the last image, and it would take you to the pattern/number lock. That way someone couldn't see your pics without the pass.

Coming from SGS II where one touch brings you back to the home page, now with the new SGS III a physical home button replaces the touch home button which is driving me crazy, I am sure others feel the same, anybody out there that found an app that will replace the home button please share it with us.

After downloading a bunch of apps and trying them finally found one that works, it's called (Virtual Button Bar) available in trial or paid versions, if you have found an app that works just like the physical home button please share.

Replace it with what? All you have to do is edit /system/usr/keylayout/sec-keys.kl and map the home button to camera search or whatever else you may want

Thanks for the info, but can you explain how to map the home button to any other function step by step, basically I like the calculator app to have the same function as the home button, thanks in advance.

Ah that you can't do in android. (That I'm aware of) I used to do this on my windows mobile phone. You can only change it to like a different function button.

Yes. You can add up to 5 and assign them to whatever you like. You can also assign app or actions to the long press option so total max is 10 different apps or actions

Idk but as an alternative, you can just hold home+power and it'll take a screenshot. Did you debloat your rom? Maybe you removed the motion apk?

Try this, go to Settings, then Motion, then scroll to the bottom. There should be a section title "Hand Motions". Make sure "Palm swipe to capture" is checked.

I gave up on using the Palm swipe method. Works sometimes and when it does I'm usually dragging a screen with it and taking a picture mid-animation. Home+ power works much better.

It always works for me, but it can be clumsy and change the screen when you touch it. It is a neat idea, imo, so I wouldn't give up. Did you try doing a reset after wiping cache?

Make sure your using the side of your hand. (Like karate chop) place it firmly on the screen then pause for a sec then Swype. works for me every time.

If you are on stock rom, i'm afraid there is no easy solutions ... i didn't find any myself
On custom rom, some give access to a button to close every running app, CM10 for example, on top right of the screen
