External button for camera? - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hey guys so I've been all over google and searched here but could not find a way to set a hardware button such as a volume or the power button to take a picture with. I realized today when I was attempting to take a picture of my and my girlfriend at Disneyland that it was impossible haha. So does anyone know how to reassign a button for the camera shutter?

I don't but there is an option to delay the shot a couple seconds in the camera settings

Camera mod

Im not 100% sure if this is the right place for my post but i think it may be.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the camera settings to allow the power button to snap pictures and videos while the camera is opened. Its in the most convenient place and onscreen buttons i find a little annoying.
I feel like unless im overlooking something id probably need root access to change this (unless there are any apps out there that anyone would recommend).
Thanks in advance!

Definitely not in the right place (should be in general), but try Camera ICS in the Play Store. I haven't used it in a while, but if I remember right, there are HW button assignments (can't remember if that requires root). Also, Shot Control is a really great 3rd party app...
I chose the red pill... Now I'm in the mAtrix and I know Kung Fu... in HD!

In the settings you can make the volume button capture pictures. It set to zoom by default.

Okay i see it now! Thanks.

I kinda like using the volume buttons for zoom. Any idea how id be able to set the power button to snap pics/vids and still have the volume buttons for zooming?
That would be the ideal button configuration for this phone and a camera app and i dont see me necessarily needing to turn my phone off while the camera is running.
Thanks again!

Questions should be posted in Q&A section. Remember that next time. Moved.
Okay will do!

Also, i dont see the ics camera allowing me to change the power button functions. I only see more options with the volume buttons (a step in the right direction, but still not the optimal layout im looking for)

Changing the glass (not the digitizer). Just removed the previous glass and replaced it.
I haven´t disconnected any cables and stuff like that.
I did it sucessfully with a Galaxy S III by the way.
AW: Bricked? totally black screen, only MENU and BACK buttons lights
Sorry i have never done this. Id suppose to check the cables or reinstall the old glass....
Sorry for not having a better answer

[App] Soft Buttons Lights always on!

New here in the HTC one area so please forgive me if this topic was already covered. Being new to the HTC phone I wasn't liking the soft button lights turning off during the day light so this app basically keeps button backlight always on, as long as the screen is on.
Confirmed working with HTC one. KiNDA

UPDATE: The soft lights turn off on occasion and I have to toggle the power button to turn the light back on. Bug I guess but quick minor temp fix by hitting the button
UPDATE 7-/4/13: According to solid.snake (see quote below), Capacitive Buttons Brightness Works well

Are you able to see the button lights in the daylight? They seem kind of dim to me.

Nice username.
Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).
Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.
There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!
