I don't know if this has been posted already. I did search and saw nothing on it. Basically I don't use quickmemo. So I decided to assign the quickmemo button to camera. Just found out if the button is assigned to camera and you press it in the camera app, the button acts as a shutter. Pretty cool I thought. Just wanted to share.

The videos taken while in that orientation though (such that the right index finger sits on the quickmemo button) will be upside down when transferred and viewed on a PC. I didn't update to the value pack so not sure if the problem is already addressed in the later software version.
actually u dun need to set the quick button as a shutter, the default button is vol-
Actually, both - and + volume buttons work as shutter... ?
Thank you for the replies. They must have fixed the video orientation as videos are the right side after viewing on my phone and transferring to my PC. I did know about the volume keys, but I find the qmemo button more natural.

LOL, I just found out that the camera app has the function to adjust the focus manually.

Hi, first excuse me if i make some spelling mistakes i'm french
So I just want to know if there's an app wich allow you to take a photo by pressing the up or down volume button. It would be a very easier way to take photos.
Thank you !
Search for AEButton Plus and remap one of the volume buttons to the camera-function.
Works fine here
can you give an extra help with that?
All i could do is to make the volume button to open the camera.
How to take a picture with the volume button??
thanks
Oh, you actually want to use the button to take the picture. Well I don't know
It's not possible... I was trying hard to find out in past but the only thing I was able to do was mapping stylus-out event to press enter action using MobileMagic, but it worked only for taking exactly one photo, then it just stopped working and never worked again (probably until next hard reset )
help....please tell me how to take photos with volume button....?
It is not possible, the volume buttons are disabled when the camera app is running. Open the camera and press the volume buttons - does it change volume? No, it doesn't.

"Not Done"... meaning someone is doing it currently? Mind sharing with us the link to the thread? big thanks!
I think nobody's working on it... it's not possible as the volume buttons are disabled by camera app (run camera and press volume - any effect? no).
yes but any application or script who enabled the volume buttons with mobile camera?
??

EDIT:
I just saw that the previous post was about the samething...
I installed the cab and it really works
finally i can take a pic/vid with volume button
only works if you open the app that we install and its ready to go.
btw im using kwbr 3.5.6 rom just in case
After flashing the XXJP2 firmware, I've found an application which is called ScreenCaptureService.apk in /system/app directory.
Then I thought it was a sort of capturing tool.
I've tried to press as many key combinations as I could but it didn't work.
Now, I'm wondering if it's the one what I'm thinking or not.
What's your idea?
I know, of course, I can take a screenshot with some apps by rooting my device.
cheers!
Screen capture on xxjpk
Just an fyi for those that think they need root access for screen captures. Pressing back and home button will save current screen as image file. Just stumbled on this by accident and thought I woolf share w xda community.

No it doesn't exit applications. You press and hold the back button, and then press the home button. It only goes back, when tapping the back button.

Wow, so all we have to do to make a nice screen capture program that doesn't need root access is to dispatch a keyevent or two
ye when I hold it, it still exits randomly lol.
Well, for example it exits immediately from Handcent SMS.
You can get a screenshot from it holding back key, launching application (still holding back) and pressing menu.
[Q] I accidentally did a screenshot
No idea how i did it, im running stock froyo with adw launcher. Pressed something then i heard the camera sound go off with a notification that a screenshot was done. Went into my main directory of my phone and there was a folder titled screenshot with it in there. ..
How did i do that?
hold back and the home key.

Thanks alot guys.
You can also use 'ShootMe' from the Market. Once it's running, all you have to do is shake the phone and it takes a screenshot. No more button combos, and easy to do with just one hand =)
I upgraded to JPM and is confused about same thing. But, I was able to capture screen once accidently.
It does take screenshots and save it into SD/ScreenCapture in PNG format
Here's How you can do it.
Keep a finger on BACK button and press HOME button.
Srock screen capture ...how?
Today I suddently find a /screen capture directory in the /sdcard, and also some screen shoot inside it.
Is there anyone help to teach me how to use this function? thx.
I also find screencapture.apk in /system/app, is this the app which responsible to create the picture?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Press middle (hardware) button while holding down back (soft) button.
Cool find but the button combo is crap. Most of time it quits the app i want to capture. Ill stick to shootme and kill the service

If you think about it, the app switcher screen take screenshot bitmaps for all the apps and even games (something the current screenshot homebrew cannot do). So it would be logical if there was a way to save those bitmaps.
Hopefully tango will bring native screenshot function. I came up with this concept below. You basically hold the back button for 3 seconds more after the app switcher screen appears.
That's pretty good. There are many ways one could go.
You could override the camera button so that in the task switch mode it takes screenshots, or you could press power + camera key together etc.
Wouldn't that take the screen shot of the multi tasking view. It would be better if its pressing windows key and search key at the same time.

Nice idea and I would agree using two switch instead of one. This will avoid confusion.
I'd go with long tap on search button... the only one that doesn't have anything... yet
It would be coooool XD

Is there a mod, or more realistically just a different app, that allows you to map one of the volume rocker buttons or even the power button to be a shutter button for the camera? 85% of the time the on screen button is fine, but for the times it's not it's almost maddeningly frustrating. I also find the lack of a self timer kind of strange.
Pardon if this is a strange request. I got used to my Eris, which had both a self timer and the functionality of pressing the trackball to snap a photo.
Agreed i kinda liked having a physical button on my iPhone
Use Camera FX, you can map any key to any function.

not any key.yuo cannot map the home button or the lock button(this should be the main button for camera shutter)
Is there a mod that will let me use the volume keys to take a picture? And what app do you guys recommend to take pictures or just stick with stock?
I think it would be better to use the power button to take pictures, that way u could use the volume buttons to zoom in and out
App called Camera Zoom FX allows you to assign volume keys to camera. Pretty good app, too.
