[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
Sent from my HTC Desire HD

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] Possible to launch a different camera app with the physical shutter button?

Is it possible to have the physical shutter button launch a different camera app? My particular phone is rooted, if that helps make this possible...
I swear the stock camera app never gets a picture in focus, but others do just fine.

Currently there's no way of changing the mapping of the physical buttons found on the phone

I was able to get this mostly working with the Tasker app.
The "Camera Button" is one of the built in Profile actions. I just linked that to a Task which launches a different camera app. This works fine as long as the stock Sony camera app is frozen/disabled.
The only limitation is that unlike the default behaviour, it does not work when the phone is locked. With the stock camera app disabled, the camera button has no effect when the phone is locked. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of Tasker or something else. I'll keep poking at it....

With root can we replace the quick launch camera app

I've search the Note 8 forums, found similar but not specific to root. I'm wondering now that we have root can we replace the double tap home quick launch Samsung camera with a different app, specifically the ported gcam with HDR auto. Also wondering if it can be set to work with the screen locked like the built in camera. Perhaps an app exists and I'm just not finding it.
I have put the camera as my lockscreen shortcut but it still requires unlock to run. Coming from the Pixel, I find the gcam app to get me images much more similar to Pixels quality vs what comes out of Samsung's camera.

You dont even need root, you can use one of the various ways to remap bxby. Personally I have my bixby button remapped to 1 click is camera, double click is google now, and longpress is torch. works with screen off too, so its very handy. I did this with BK Disabler to disable bixby and bxActions to remap the button. Note: you can leave bixby enabled if you so choose and yuou can still have one click be bixby as normal if you like, then double tap camera. - EDIT : I just saw you wanted a different app, while I have mine set as default camera, I would assume there are already routes to use others as well.

I think the OP is asking if it's possible to remap the camera shortcut. OP stated double tap home for camera but that's how it was on my Note 5. On the Note 8 the double tap camera shortcut is the power button. I don't think there is a way to remap that with an app, not that I have seen anyway. I believe that shortcut is a part of the actual camera app.

Camera shortcut

Hi,
I'd like to implement a camera shortcut other than the stock one with the volume rocker, as that is really awkward when trying to adjust volume.
On LineageOS and stock Samsung S7 software, you can set double press home to launch the camera. On most android phones you can use a double press of the power button.
Can either of these things be activated on the P20 Pro through and app or module?
I really miss that feature.

A workaround would be using for example "Edge Gesture" . You can configure different gestures on the edges to open up the Camera App or any other App. For example whenever I hold the right display edge for 1s, it will open up the camera.
I would also be interested in a solution involving physical buttons. But at least you won't miss the shot so easily anymore.

Hi,
I'd like to have a shortcut on my homescreen to e.g. pro-mode and monochrome. Alas, when long-pressing the camera app symbol, it only gives me choices I don't want. Is there any way to get other camera modes as shortcuts apart from those?
greetings

Is there any way to remap the Bixby Button as camera button so that it can open camera even when screen is OFF ?

I have remapped Bixby button to camera in advanced settings but it works only when screen is ON which is pointless. Is there any way to start the camera directly even when screen is OFF using Bixby or any other button similar to Camera button found on Sony phones ?
