Hi!
So I'm wondering how I change the behaviour of the shutter button to open up a different app.
I've got root already.
Thanks.
I would like to know the same.
So far I've found nothing on it, not even in form of an Xposed module.

Hi guys,
I am looking for a reliable way to remap the camera button. The end result should be like on stock ROM, but with a camera app of my choosing. Meaning, i press the camera button when the screen is off or the phone is locked, and a camera app pops up immediately.
I got pretty close with Tasker, but it's still not there - I need to manually unlock the phone.
My device is rooted, my bootloader is unlocked, I already flashed a ROM trying to solve this (Omni) and I don't mind flashing anything else to try and fix this. So, open to any suggestions -- apps, tasker profiles, ROMs, config changes, you name it.
I already tried the Additional Actions xposed module but that doesn't work either.
Any ideas? There has to be some way to do this... It's just a button.
Hey guys,
I've been trying to set my volume buttons so that the top button focuses then captures, and my bottom button records. After setting those options in the Sense 6 Toolbox, I rebooted my phone. The changes stayed, but when I'm in camera both buttons just capture.
Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

I am running on ARDH 70 with Sense 6 and Toolbox, but i can not find where to set up the volume buttons for the camera? May be i can check wether it is a general problem.
Edit:
Okay, I found it. I have the same weird issue, doesn´t seem to have any effect. Both shutters just capture.

I'm running the same Rom. There are settings within the camera app that let you choose what the volume buttons do, but the only problem is that:
a) Both buttons do the same function, and
b) The Sense 6 Toolbox doesn't override those features.
So I don't know how to remedy this.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I have searched but it is quite a vague thing to search for.
I am wondering if there is a way to use the camera button from sleep the same way as stock Sony rom. That is, I'd like to be able to long hold the camera button from a sleep state and have the phone unlock and launch the camera. I currently am on paranoid but am happy to use any aosp type rom to achieve this, or ideally is there an xposed module that does this?
Thanks

Install xperia additions as an xposed module. You can remap buttons that way. Not sure if it will launch the camera as well, but I use it to wake my phone.
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.
Any news on this having root already on our devices?

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!
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....
