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)

I keep on accidentally pressing the hold button when i answer a call. I have found solutions for other phones, but they do not seem to work for the O2X.
Does someone know how to disable our remove this button. Could it be changed with skin customizations?
If not, where is the app located so that i can try to modify it if that is even possible.
Thank you
Michael

I think CM7 has a setting for disabling the hold button. Should be in the call settings menu. I'm not sure though.

You have to decompile the phone.apk, it should be in there.
If you're lucky there's an entry to disable it in the bool.xml, if not you have to search a little.

This is the main feature on that I miss, the possibility of killing the open app by holding back button.
It's a very simple procedure, and I'm sure that there's Tasker script to do this, but do you know any app that can do this on any rom? I don't have Tasker and don't intend to buy it.

which rom are you using? cm10/10.1 has this option
developer options > (scroll to the bottom) kill app back buton (turn it on)
back button has to be pressed for a while (second or two) to kill the foreground application...
Ow, I'm sorry. I was saying that this is the main feature I miss on stock roms; I always used this on cm. But what I find funny is that it looks a very simple work to do, and very useful also (e.g. killing that wrong app you opened before its 10s to open), but I can't find it on play.

I miss it too, along with the hold volume to change tracks when standby, anyway stock ics (dmx to be accurate) is much better than cm imo.

A couple of days ago I asked in the Q&A forum if it was possible to disable your physical back home and menu buttons and enable the on screen buttons like on the nexus 4. A guy named: UncleRipper helped me by telling me how to do it, so I want to share it with you guys. But all props to UncleRipper! For an example of how it looks on my phone see the photo below.
So what we want to do is enable the on screen buttons, disable the physical buttons, and stop them from lighting up everytime you touch the screen. I know you can disable this in the settings if you're on lg's software, but I am running cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly.
So first enable the on screen buttons:
open a file manager with root ( Solid Explorer or Root Explorer), go to /system and open build.prop (backup it!!):thumbup:
add this line at the end of the file build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
restart your phone.
Now you got the on screen buttons, you want to disable the physical buttons:
Use "button remapper" (search it on google cause isn't on play store) and assign "focus" to home, back and menu buttons.
The app is simple to use and the values to change are last in the list.
After the physical buttons are disabled you want to stop them from lighting up when you touch the sceen:
Prerequisites:
Root
SManager (play store)
SManager widget (play store)
Your phone
this script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iz6t5eql0w...tkeyscript.zip
First install the app SManager and accept the SU request.
Use a root file browser and move the script from the SD Card your system/etc/init.d folder
Go into SManager and locate the 2 scripts. Click on them and tap the little star button in the top left to make them a favorite. And click the little SU icon while your at it! (optional: click also on run on boot the gear near "su" command)
Add the widget to your home screen, run the script and turn off the display and then turn it back on.
If the physical buttons wernt visible id do this. But i find LMT launcher works great for when a can be bothered doing hand gymnastics to push the back button.

Yep, if the physical buttons went off, it would be good. Could You make it working? ;D
The physical buttons are disabled and they don't light up anymore, so you can't really see them anymore unless you take a really hard look. But hey, it's your choice rather to use it or not! I'm just saying it's possible ;D

Why on screen button? If your device have the physical key so use it.also on screen button takes space in screen.

Why not??
-you think it is beautiful and you like nexus software button?
-you apply the mod.
-you don't think that is great?
-don't install the mod...
i think that the software buttons are great and a 4.7" screen is very big. fill it with something...

I seem to be having trouble with button remapper. The only option that I'm getting is for the power button and can't seem to access the home, menu, and back keys for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Open /system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl and remove/comment three lines from the almost end of the file (those with VIRTUAL word). Works, at least on PAC 23.0/CM10.1, not sure if in stock rom will also work. Then use the script from OP to disable lights (I'll try to find simplier way to do it all).
And of course add this:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of /system/build.prop
+1 thank you I got it all working now.

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
Soft Buttons Light

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

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!
