[Q] Use Your Volume Keys As a Camera Trigger

Hey everyone,
just woundering if there is a way that something like this could be made for our DHD
This was made for the HD2:
http://www.xda-developers.com/windo...0-1-use-your-volume-keys-as-a-camera-trigger/

I believe the app "vignette" has the ability to enable this feature, if you don't mind switching programs.

There is an app called volume key camera
Code:
xxx .androidzoom.com/android_applications/media_and_video/volume-key-camera_pffj.html
but kept getting FC , and have moved to camera 360, in which I can take pict by touching the screen itself

I found the best app for it and have been using it for a while now and very happy with it. It's called "pro capture". Hope this helps if anyone else is looking for one

in Cyanogenmod In the camera app you can use the volume buttons to zoom in and out also to make the search button capture pictures

It's too bad that the DHD doesn't have a camera button.
In fact I would wish to have something that turns the camera app on when pressed and takes a picture on long press for example.
The volume keys are good to some extent but not enough and will never replace the real camera button functionality.

power button idea
wonder if anyone could make power button as camera

I like the idea of using the volumes keys for zoom, that sound cool

I just finished replacing my volume rocker after it simply fell off following normal usage. I personally would not want to suggest doing anything which would make you use the key more. It's quite flimsy. Definitely the weak point in the design.

[Q] Volume down button to take photo?

Hello everybody!
I want to ask if there is any way how to take photo in build in camera app by using volume down button?
I just found this great mod and I will definitely try it ... but there is only power button used for taking photos ... so maybe any way how to modify this mod to work with volume down button?

So you don't want to be able to zoom in?

I think there is an app called galaxy s button remapper in the market

On some custom ROMs, there are hacked cams, so that you can take pictures with the power button.

You can try to use my app, Photo Button https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgrmobi.photobutton
It's simple and easy application for making photo using volume buttons without unlocking the phone!

Remap Keys During Camera

I am going to attempt to remap the outside keys for when the camera is being used to allow non-touchscreen controls as well. I don't know if anyone has tried or started work on this idea yet, but I will give it a go and post results and the update.zip on here once it is good to go.

Not to stir the thread off topic, but can i just say how moto seemed to finally get the camera right? I cant believe how fast it starts up. It still has some of the weird focus isssues, but switching between modes, taking pics.. ive ditched my purchased apps in favor of the default camera.

I agree. It definitely runs so much smoother than in previous renditions. I just want to have a method for taking a picture via non touchscreen. Miss the dedicated camera button. Will be working on this during the week and hopefully will have it done and up by the weekend.

what would you use? traditionally, the volume keys were the zoom in/out and the camera button took the pic. maybe something on the keyboard? have you tried the OK button?

The "ok" button does take pictures, but then you need to have the keyboard out. I'm going to attempt to remap the power button to take the picture (as most people wouldnt be turning off the screen while the camera is on) and keeping the volume buttons as the zoom in/out as it currently is.

THIS WOULD BE PERFECT!!! Let us know what you come up with.
Thanks!

This is already possible by default, if I understand your question correctly.
In the ICS build (at least .215, not sure about earlier versions) there is a "Volume Key Function" option in the stock camera settings. You can use this to set the volume keys to 'Capture' instead of 'Zoom'. As I never use digital zoom, this already works great for me!

In that case, never mind and good luck
On my ME863 I installed a 3rd party camera app just because of the "volume button = shutter" function, and it was nice to see there was no need for that on the Droid 4!

Thanks. Hopefully I can pull it off. Currently trying to fix my D4.. ran into a boot logo mod issue and just got it back up

[Q] Remap power button to camera button?

So a friend dropped his C5303 and the power button is now a little sticky.
Any way to turn the camera button into the power button?
Cheers
TIA
EDIT: This device isn't rooted and he'd have no idea how to!

Without rooting you are not able to remap buttons.
If he choose to root then he could use xposed frame work app and a module that would remap buttons or he can try using tasker....it is a paid app but has its own tasker help thread on xda.
