Using CM11 with Google Camera app form Play Store. By pressing the camera button the standard camerpa app from CM shows up.
How can i change it to Google Camera?
Shouldn't it be possible to remap this with Xposed Additions?
Xposed is probably the best way but I used a ghetto workaround through Tasker. Every time the stock app launched, Tasker would kill it and then launch Google camera. Not at all elegant and it takes a few extra seconds to launch but it worked!

I'm just wondering if either the Home button or Power button can be used as a camera button.
If you use Apex or Nova launcher (and probably others), you can configure the home button to open the camera app, but not to actuate the shutter.
On my skyrocket a dev implemented volume down to take a picture. Personally I love that feature. I know there's an app called ics camera that you can set up the volume buttons to take pictures, but I actually really like the stock interface of the touchwiz camera.

I just got the note 3 coming for the note 2 and i love the phone but I've found an irritating issue with the note 3 S Finder. I've been able to uninstall it after rooting with titanium backup as there is no way to disable or remove while stock. now what i want to do is to be able to long press the menu button like i did with my note 2 and bring up Google now but after uninstalling S Finder and trying to create a tasker profile that would give me those results i cant seem to find how to input a hardware menu long press into tasker as the only long press option im given is camera button long press. Which the note 3 has no dedicated camera button. Any tips or ideas on how i can get my Google now back via a menu key long press?
No one has any ideas or suggestions that might be of some kind of help. I'd really appreciate it.

I totally understand your frustration. Also coming from a Note 2, I used Google Now quite often. So, what I, did was add Google Now shortcut to my locksceen. I got rid of the other shortcuts (email, camera, etc etc) and just put a Google Now shortcut. It works for me.

I was even more frustrated, because I used to long press 'menu' button for in-app search OR as Google <Now> app shortcut on the home screen of Touchwiz.
So how to replace the S-Finder with Google search, how to return the Note 2 behavior (Google Now search + In-App Search when applicable):
1) Root the device
2) Install latest Xposed framework from the official website.
3) Launch Xposed framework, activate it and press reboot button in the app.
4) Launch Xposed framework, go to Repository, find the GravityBox module and install it. Sorry, I am not allowed to post links on this forum.
5) Return to Xposed framework, go to Modules, check the new installed GravityBox module.
6) Launch GravityBox app, go to Navigation buttons, select 'Long-press Menu button' and change the behavior to 'In-app search'. Go back.
That's it. Now you have that in-app search AND you have Google Now (or other preferred search app) on the home screen!
I'm on Madmack's 11/26/13, CM11 build and I'm trying to remap the extra quick launch button we have above the volume rocker on CM11 - basically I want it as my camera button.
I've been able to do this on other phones by manual editing the proper keyboard layout file.
The hardware keyboard layout file for the LGOP on CM11 appears to be: /system/user/gk-keypad-8064.kl
The quick launch button is Key 250 and by default its set to ASSIST (which launches the Search function oddly enough).
Normally just changing ASSIST to CAMERA and rebooting is sufficient to launch the CAMERA functions - doesn't work with my LGOP on CM11. However, once changing Key 250 to CAMERA, it does take pictures if you manually launch the camera app.
Switching it to Key 250 CAMERA WAKE oddly enough makes the quicklaunch button function exactly the same as when you press down on the screen for 2+ seconds and the home screens shrink to the center and Wallpapers/Widgets/Settings pop up.
I can tell you that changing Key 250 to POWER, VOLUME_UP, VOLUME_DOWN, HOME all work... just can't get the CAMERA function to work.
Any thoughts or ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
I have no idea but this is would be great. I hope someone can chime in to help you out.

hey, decompressed an old nandroid of the stock rom...
i'm pretty sure i had the quicklaunch button set to the default "press to launch camera/press again to snap a pic" action, and my gk-keypad-8064.kl had key 250 set to QUICK_CLIP
Can we set it to a particular app? particularly to display recent apps?
Isn't there a "buttons" section in the phone settings? I used that to switch search function to camera and tested, it works great. Only downside is its not a 2-step shutter button lol.
Hi have you tryed changing it to camera wake_dropped? ive remapped another LG phone and that was the code i used. ill try it now aswell

A similar question
In looking through the forums, this thread seemed to be the closest to users having a similar situation to myself. I have an LGOP running the latest nightly of CM11 and I would also like to map the quick search button to a different function. While there are buttons options to set it to launch the camera app, it launches the default camera app and I would like it to launch the latest version of Google's camera app. Does anyone know how to do this?
Gravity box I think can pull it off

WEll I was searching for something similar, to remap our Quick button and assign anything to it! and I have found an xposed module which can do the job here you go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.xposed.additionsgb
I have searched everywhere that I can and can't seem to find the solution I'm looking for.
Basically what I want to do is remap the home button. Normally, when double-pressed S-Voice will launch, and when long-pressed the recent apps panel will open. What I want to do is switch those (and use Google Now instead). So what I mean is that I want double-pressing the home button to bring up the recent apps panel and I want long-pressing the home button to bring up the search app Google Now).
I found that the Wanam Xposed module allows me to remap the long-press action to launch Google Now, which gets me halfway there. But I still need something that will open the recent apps panel when I double-press the home button.
I have tried the Home2 app in the Play Store, but I don't like the way it works. I was hoping for something that is more built-in and integrated, if you know what I mean.
Thank you for your help!
I'm using Samsung devices since about 2 years and since that time I'm looking for something that can do this. Haven't found anything so far, do I would love to see a solution for this!
In the meantime gestures do a fine job though. I rarely ever use my home button.
BUMP
Anyone know of a solution?
Is there a way to change the default camera app that launches when I use the volume button motion gesture to launch the camera? I would like to use a different app than the default one that launches. My phone is rooted, and I don't mind messing with files.
I'm using a Sense based rom (Wolla v6.2)
