Just switched to lineage and it's great so far. One feature I am missing is in stock Miui you had the option to set the volume down photo to take photos even when the phone is off. So essentially just hold down the volume button and it starts snapping, no need to turn on, open camera app etc This is great for capturing a moment very quickly, but I don't see this option in lineage. Any ideas how I can re enable it?

I think there's a setting to double press power button to open camera.

Thanks but that's different to the Miui functionality.
In Miui you hust hold the volume button down and it starts shooting, regardless of focus etc. No screen on, no opening of app
I found the functionality is called Quick Snap in Miui. Is it available via xposed or something similar?

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.

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).

Bump. Has anyone found or figured out how to create a cwm flashable file to mod the stock jellybean camera to do this?
I want to use stock camera apps
Any mods? Or recommended apps for it?

Any method? Power button also great... Just tired to use soft button.
Most custom roms have this option if you go into camera, then go to settings, then Camera Settings (more), then Power Shutter toggled on On. I have attached my Camera.apk that has this option, but you have to push it to /system/app

Thx dude yeah I can use it
But I found that it is inconvenience to use power button since it will make the phone sleep or even off
So the question is here how can I use volume buttons to capture photos with stock rom?
What do you mean using the power button will make the phone sleep? The camera app disables the power button as a 'lock button' when in 'power shutter' mode. When you press the camera button, it just takes a picture and doesn't do anything else. If you want to lock the phone, just press home then power. It's just one more button press.

This was an amazing feature I had on my G2 running Andromadus Mimicry ROM back about a year ago.
If you held the power button down for 2 seconds when the screen was off, it would activate the LED flash and essentually turn your phone into a flashlight. This is MUCH more convenient and intuitive than tapping the power button, swiping to unlock your screen, clicking on the Torch app, then clicking the lightbulb to turn on the flash.
Does anyone know of a ROM or app for the LG Nitro that has this? Supposedly it is an AOKP feature, so I installed JellyBAM which is a blend of various ROMs including AOKP and I was unable to find any setting to enable this.

In CM10.1 (or -based roms) you can simply press pwr (no need to even unlock), swipe down, and click the torch "plate", which instantly turns on the light. Then just press again to turn off.. Pretty easy IMO.

CM 10.1 has the option to set Torch similarly to the harware buttons like said above but I believe it cannot be set to the lock/power button. For example all you need to do press the lock button then hold down the home button and it automatically turns the LED on and after you're done you hold to turn it off. With jellybam v7.1 you have to unlock/enter pattern and hold the set hardware button . But by far personally Jellybam is a much better Rom at least for an experinced and it wouldn't be worth it to switch over something like that. Try setting the Torch wiget to one of the side screens at the lock screen. If you come up with something better or have a question please post :fingers-crossed:
Setting it to the Notification Bar or Lock Screen is nice, but nothing beats holding one button down and pretending your phone is a physical flashlight :/
Maybe one day someone will port the AOKP feature over to the Nitro.
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

ARCS's camera button can't wake up phone and open camera.
This always let me feel bad.
Like TX Lt29i, I can press camera button to wake up phone then press it again to take a photo.
It is so convenience to press camera button twice and power button once.
Can some make camera button more useful?
If camera physical button can't do this job, why I need it?
I just open phone and open camera then take a photo without physical button.
Like the movie "hotel transylvania" that guy just press physical button.
When I saw it, I just want to know where I can buy it.
Every time using camera, I complain it that I waste 5sec to open phone and open camera.
If this camera button has its real function, I think it's be more better.
There is no way for make this. Most quick way is: Opening camera from lockscreen

And how do you know? Seriously, prove it.
Good morning!
After the first days with the new z1 compact i´m a bit confused about the camera button.
when the device is in deep sleep the camera button does nothing - after using the power button to bring up display, everything is fine.
For me, this is a major software bug - what do you think?
If you enable camera in the stamina mode settings it should work as expected.

Yes, i´ve read information about that. But why is camera button not working when STAMINA is NOT enabled?
Have you pressed it deep enough? It is kinda stiff button.

This annoys me too. Usually works if you press twice quickly.

We could only hope that this issue remains to SW...
The led flash issues on night shots are bad enough... :crying:
Hold it down until phone vibrates. It should bring the camera up. I use stamina and dont have camera enabled in it.

Yes it works but you have to press two times.press first time then leave it and quickly press second time but don't leave.keep on pressing.it will open camera direct
I dont need to press it twice. Just once Press all the way down and hold. the phone will vibrate and wake up with camera app opened.
I have no problem yet. but those comment are important and helpful us.
