Did google mention if there is a quick way to activate the camera from the lock screen? Maybe double tap power button?

It's the same as on your Nexus 6P. The camera can be activated by pressing the power button twice. This works when the screen is off, on the lockscreen or in any app that you might be in. The volume rockers will act as a shutter button if you've set them up like that in the settings. If your screen is on and you're on the lockscreen, you can also swipe up from the bottom right to activate the camera.

Anyone has any idea what this power shutter toggle does?
Initially i though it meant i could use my power button to take pictures, but nope.
That's exactly what it means.

Am i missing something?
Even with it enabled, when i press the power button, the screen just turns off.
I dont even have that setting in my camera options?.

Its ICS Camera+ that has this option I believe.
I have the ICS+ Camera (paid version) and that option is not there. I am also wondering what app is OP using.
This option is in the regular camera app in the rom that I am running. AOKP Milestone #4. ICS 4.0.3 last time I checked.
You first hit the settings button (the sliders button next to the zoom) then you hit the three little squares icon that is on the left. There you will find that setting.
That function works well on my phone. I set it to ON, and now my phones power button is the shutter button when my camera is open of course.
Thanks for letting me know about this feature =)

I just tried it and it works perfectly! Nice!!
Yeap, i am using AOKP m4
Doesn't work for me though.
tried it on stock kernel and franco's m1 but it still isn't working. it just switches of the screen.
Edit: you'll have to close the camera app and run it again and it'll work fine =)
Turn it on reboot your phone and then it should work.

I found you need to hold the power button down for a few seconds, then it takes the picture. Simply pressing it quickly does indeed turn the screen off. It would have made a lot more sense to use one of the volume buttons.
It doesn't turn the screen off for me. It works fine. I can press it quickly, or hold it down and release. Both snap the pic normally for me.

Yep I agree with the poster above. I can also do it as quick as possible, or hold down for 5+ seconds and let go, and both times it will take the pic normally (focused and everything).

tnx for the info. Secretly picturing od the girls on the beach just got to whole new level:laugh:
Bump. Has anyone found or figured out how to create a cwm flashable file to mod the stock jellybean camera to do this?
Is there any easy way to turn it off? Or more importantly can I switch the long hold and double tap function of the home key?
I think the only thing you can do is make svoice not launch with the double tap. But I don't think you can assign anything to it.

U can freeze s voice in TB that will turn it off.

I use home 2 shortcut and my double tap Home takes me to Google Now Voice Search. Also If you are rooted you should be able to disable S-Voice.
Are there any apps that can control the buttons to launch the camera? Double press power button or something like that?
you can jus swipe down twice when the screen is off/locked

Yea but that is far slower than double clicking the power button as pulling it out of pocket

Double power-button press is definitely easier and faster. You can press them right in your pocket and whip it out and take a photo. I hope HTC adds that in as a gesture.
With Nova launcher I set up the camera to launch when I double tap the screen. Very convenient.

That's not what OP asked for though. You can already swipe down twice to launch it, but having it operated by a double button press would be nicer.
I seem to remember you were able to wake to camera on M9 by holding it landscape and hitting volume up or dn. Doesn't work here, I kinda liked that feature.
just pick the phone up in landscape mode and hit the volume down button.
edit: wait a minute, i just re-tried this and it doesn't seem to be working. i could swear it was working a couple days ago
I come from htc m9 where lock/unlock screen was pretty straightforward. double tap to unlock and navbar shortcut for screen off
here we have power key, ambient display, fingerprint, double tap (with EXkernel) for screen on
and navbar shortcut, fingerprint gestures, power key for screen off......
wow. so much choice...too bad that these methods override sometimes, like double tap is useless with ambient display, and fingerprint makes all of it no-sense....
How do you play with it?
Screen on: ambient display (only enabled for notifications) or fingerprint
Screen off: Nova launcher shortcut, power button sometimes
Screen on: power button
Screen off: double tap statusbar (anywhere)
Simple.
ON - fingerprint, power button
OFF - power button
wow there are people who still use power button hahaha
On: fingerprint or swipe up
Off: double tap

Same. Don't like active touchscreen for this function. I like to carry my phone by holding it front and back side. Also sometimes I press the edges accidentally when I do something else.

Your surprise (and apparent disdain?) toward people using the device as designed is confusing to me.
Did you honestly believe that *ALL* 5X owners would fear that the physical power button would break from normal usage?
Screen on: Fingerprint sensor
Screen off: Sweep2Sleep gesture. Available in various custom kernels

on: fingerprint or power button
off: greenfy hibernate widget button
Screen on: fingerprint or double tap to wake in EXKM
Screen off: double tap on navbar
On: fingerprint
Off: power button (it's there, it works and i don't have to have a special feature to use it)
Screen on, swipe up
Screen off, tap invisible power button in far upper right hand side of status bar. Tap closes screen, long press brings up the power button menu.
If on stock 7.1.1, flash this to get it. Full systemui tuner included (Navbar adjustment and brightness bar removal)

well, we can live without buttons now, since they have a lifespan touch/accelerometer methods should be preferred by anyone who cares about his phone...
I don't use any since 2011, once you get used to alternative methods...you can't go back

I owned Galaxy S1, Galaxy S2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, OPO1 (supports DT2W), and now N5X.
I have never experienced a faulty power button.

Hi,
I have updated my Pixel 3 xl and I can't see SS option after i push power button.
Do you know where they hide it
Same button combo as before (power + volume down) OR a new software button on the task switch screen ( when you swipe up to change between apps)

Not of them. I just double push to power button and It seems it is working with android's weird app
Double click of the power button should bring up the camera (though I think you can turn that off). Long pressing the power button should bring up power options, google pay, and smart home controls.
