[Q] Manually Changing the Quicklaunch Key to Camera in CM11

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

Screenshot on Unsense rom

Hey guys quick question ? One of the things ive always like about sense is that you can hold power + home and you get a quick screenshot
And how could I do this on unsense or on another rom without holding power ?

I imagine that button combo has to be baked into the Rom. You can look at xposed to see if there is a module to enable it. I bought a screenshot app that allows me to shake the phone to take a screenshot. That's my workaround.
Or you could order a Pressy and use that for screenshots if you want to get away from the power button as well.

The button combo is power+volume down. That works on every ROM I've ran.

quick & easy way of taking screenshots on cm-11.0

i know about the vol. down + pwr button combo. but, can anyone tell me:
1. how to get/add a screenshot tile in quick settings tile layout of cm-11.0?
2. app that lets action to be assigned to gestures or navbar buttons to take screenshot?
for e.g.: on my earlier device, i'd installed gravitybox xposed module. i was using 'double-tap back button' to take screenshots.
or, if there's a quicker and easier way of taking screenshots, please post about it. thanks.

Quick screenshot in CM?

Hi,
I'm using CM14.1, the question is how can I take a quick screenshot (like pressing the recent button in stock). You know, our device's volume buttons are placed on the back so it's difficult to take a screenshot in traditional way. I think we can hold the the home button like what greenify did.
Thanks in advance.

Q: how to do screenshot on stock Android 11 ?

Hi gang,
With the release of stock Android 11 for our Pixel 2 XL, I don't find a way to do a generic screenshot anymore.
With previous releases, I could long-press the power button and taking a screenshot was one of the options. Not anymore...
The brand new bottom-up drag gesture does bring a screenshot option, but it is for one the open tasks and not the current home screen.
Am I missing something ?

Press and hold Power + Volume Down.

That was it!
The previous method was much simpler, though.
Thanks!

you could also add a screenshot tile. its way better easier and saves wear on the buttons. theres a few on the playstore. this one is great but it requires root.

You can also, "Hit square icon at the bottom, then tap on screenshots" . Make sure you choose which screen you want to screenshot.
