As the title says, is there a way to change the app that's launched? I use the pro version of camera fx and it makes a huge difference for automatic pictures! It would be awesome to launch it with the camera button rather than a app icon on the home screen! Thanks in advance guys

Of course.
Just go to settings/app and find camera app (it's under "all" tab) and disable it.
Now press camera button and your app should start.
Many camera apps have option to set it as a default camera, are you sure there's not option there.
This advice should work - it worked on Xperia S and "better camera".

Can you be more specific about the difference bit ?
I've heard nexus 4 people say it helped with blur free shots as it reads the accelerometer and waits to get a steady shot.
Anything else ?
hm somehow that's not working for me. if i set camerafx to default i get no popup where im asked if i want to use it as default after i hit the camera button. its working when i disable the stock camera app - but only when my screen is on.
when the screen is off and i press the camera button i just get to see the homescreen but camera is not launching - i have to press the button again then.
any suggestions?
Not working for me either.. Still uses sony camera

I'm in the same boat as you mate, tbh i don't mind though just have to press it twice. Still allot easier than opening an app?

It just takes way longer that way. If you want to make a quick snapshot you're gonna lose the Moment.

Yeah it has a really good stable shot mode that waits for the best time to take the photo, but tbh the automatic mode is set to 20mp by default and just takes better shots with way less noise!
What app are you guys exactly talking about? Pro Camera FX? Camera Zoom FX?

so did anyone manage to launch another cam than stock by pressing the camera button "once"?
this is really bugging me, i tried everything. installed default app manager, set cam fx default and disabled stock cam. still if the screen is off i have to press the button twice. (first press gets me to homescreen and i need to press it a 2nd time to launch cam fx).
Please Help
Ok, i have had a problem. The dedicated camera button is to sensitive on my Xperia Z1 so it just launches the camera by itself, and in my pocket, which is very annoying. I have tryed to disable the camera and then it don't launch the camera, but it unlocks the screen and vibrates. And if i am in snapchat or any other camera app it just randomly takes a photo because of the button. So is there any way to disable the button completely? i have a rooted Xperia and my bootloader unlocked. Please help me!

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.

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!

It would be awesome if vol-up+vol-down started the camera and if powerbutton was the Button you capture with

Anybody up to the task?
Don't understand what you are talking about
You can do it with Tasker with Volume buttons. You'll lose zooming capability though.
Camera zoom app can do it without and problem.
Now where is my bounty

Ho-ho-hold up one second there.
Please elaborate!!
You modded this?
Does the camera need to be running in the backround in order for this to work correctly?
Due to the current situation where the camera takes several seconds to start, I have a sneaking suspicion...
I'm not the type to photograph everyone and everything.
Still, the camera is at the top of my list when it comes to apps you need quick access to.
Since this would only be useful for that superquick shot, I would keep my camera shortcut just a gesture away.
Anxiously awaiting reply:fingers-crossed:
How does it work please? I mean does the screen have to be off from camera app and then vol down takes the picture. No other way? I was hoping to have the power button focus and / or take the picture / start/stop video rec while and only while the camera app is active.

So.. if it works without being a backround process, this might also be stable in stamina mode?
Or am I just talking out of my a**?
Take your time, this is potential gold

Hello,
I have a good and a bad news:
The good
Just finish a bêta version of the MOD
no fast capture on standby mode for the moment...but I'm working on it
The bad
Sony set the capture action only if (focus + camera) button are press together
So you need to press volume UP for focus...and volume DOWN to take the picture.
I'm working on it in order to find how to remove this condition
Installation:
Just replace SemcCameraUI.apk in /system/app with rw-r--r-- permission and reboot

guess you cant put two actions on the same button ? ^^
And it won't be possible to lock the button as pressed until you press another button, and after button is pressed change the action of the button ?

I've been using my z1 for a week now and I'm loving it so far, but for some reason my camera shortcuts no longer work.
What I mean by this is that at the lockscreen, when I slide the top panel to the left, instead of going to the camera, it just displays a camera icon with a diagonal dash through it.
Also when I hold the dedicated camera hardware key, it vibrates but does not take me to the camera app.
Launching the camera from the launcher works however.
I'm wondering if there's a setting or something that I need to change.
Thanks!
P. S. My xperia is rooted - can't remember what with, but it's the English one that gives you "SuperSU"

Because I have dosens of pictures of my pocket I would really like to stop the Camera app to bypass the lock. There is any way to do that?
There is maybe away, but it will disable that button to start up the camera.
I dunno for sure, but if u have root search for the keylayouts. 1 of them has a camera key in it. Delete it and it may disable the camera button.
Another way is to disable the button in the camera app, I thought I came across it one day.
System/use/keylayouts and try gpio-keys and mrst... The both have the 212 key for camera and gpio has also the focus key 528. Try outlining them with # to try if it works

Thank you! I will try as suggested.
i don't see why you have to worry about this, as when your device is locked and you open camera with the button and try to go to gallery, it will show you the lock screen!
Hi.
Does anyone know is to possible to set camera in manual mode by default when launching via camera button or lock screen shortcut ?
It's launching as I want only when I tap the camera app from the drawer. When launching from lock screen or dedicated button it always start in this crappy auto mode.

I think such a thing (if possible) can only be done with root.
It's also annoying me, but it's been like that on all previous phones.

well, I just got mine and on one of the home screens I have a whole row just for the camera. There I can pus a little "settings" button in the far right corner and I can select which camera shortcuts to have there, one of them is "manual". Have you seen that?

He means when using the camera button.
It always starts with superior auto. When starting the camera through the app, it does remember your settings.
So I have to wait for some nice custom rom fixing this issue

On the Z1C, this couldn't be changed with root as well, so I guess we'll have to live with that. Maybe Android L fixes this.

An update recently came out, called Lollipop, and I guess it fixed that issue as seen on the preview.

This issue has not been fixed. I'm also still looking for a way to disable superior auto mode and always start the camera in manual mode when pressing the hardware camera button.
Hello there, I tried it with the xposed module xposed additions pro, but even after several tries I had no luck. I'm rooted on stock 5.1 and I'm sure there is a way to change the behavoir of the long press action of the camera key but I didn't find it yet as I'm very new to this phone. Let's share experiences!
cheers!
