Camera Button Anyone?

Hi I was just wondering if there was any way of setting a button eg. the Back or Hangoff button , to work as the photo capturing button only in the camera mode? and be able to work as it normally does whenever im doing something else~ thx

Hi,
this new app will allow you to remap the key you want to use. You will have to remap it to emulate Enter. It allows you to use this mapping for example only when the camera is turned on, it's really cool app

thank you so much^^ time to try it out now =)

sry could u help me with one more thing? i figured out how to remap the "back" key to emulate "enter" but i cant seem to get to to only work during camera? could u plz tell me how i can do that? thx

In the keyboard config app go to Menu > Add key
Press key you want to remap
Near the Rule field there is a plus sign, click it.
Then follow the instructions, capturing via stylus works great, you just have to launch camera and then put stylus back in.
The app will create a new rule and the mapping will work only when camera is opened.

It's not entirely correct what you write. I already had that app to remap keys and it works great, didn't think I could use it to emulate enter and map it to my camera. So I did what you wrote but that didn't work. I've figured it out now and here is how I've done it:
1 - Open the remap application
2 - Press key you want to remap
3 - Near the Rule field there is a plus sign, click it.
4 - Then follow the instructions, capturing via stylus works great, you just have to launch camera and then put stylus back in.
5- Event = Click
6 - Action = Emulate key press
7 - Key = Enter
8 - Click ok
9 - Click update config
Now when I click the "end key" the camera takes a picture. This works way better then having to click on the screen itself because it doesn't matter how soft or careful you click the screen, the picture is always a bit blurry of kinda like out of focus.
Thanks for pointing out this great feature!!
Cheers

thx for the replys
i figured out that i needed to first set the 'back' key to defalut key action this allows it to work as usual whenever im doin something else, then add another funtion to the 'back' key to allow it to emulate enter only during camera ^^ if i didnt do the first step the 'back' key is just nothing when the camera isnt on ~
anywayz thx for all ur replys, now i can take great photos XD

Glad you figured that out. I didn't tell you that because I asumed that you just wanted to use the end key as "enter" for your camera and not as "to close a program".
I've set it to click = enter for the camera and long press give me the options to lock the phone and so on....
Cheers!

[REQ] "Volume Keys as Take Picture Key" in camera application

hi
is there any application or configuration to map the volume keys -one of them or both- as the camera shutter key for taking pictures?
as I can see, the AE buttons program does not do that.
thanks

I totally second that.
What a pity that there is no physical button to take picture.
Everybody knows that touching the screen will induce vibrations and blurry pictures.
If anyone could realize this it would be awesome.

I agree,
It would have to only take pictures when the camera is on tho, dont want to use up a button all the time, there just arent enough of them!

+1 also would like to have something like this

goog idea, count me in on this

+1 it was only a matter of time till this thread would appear

Volume keys CAMERA
Hi, with AEBplus you can easy do this.
Go AEBplusSettings=>Volume Down and set: 1: Volume Down 2: "Anything you wish" Long:"Camera"
OK
Now camera will start with the long press of the Volume Down key

you missed the issue.. we would like to take pictures with a button, not start the camera itself..

thanks
it is great that some people here liked my idea I am impressed.
so if anyone here can make a mapping program for the camera application to take a picture when one or one of the volume keys are pressed to take a picture would be GREAT. because it is the most lacking option that HD2 has.
Thanks again everyone.

I guess it will be difficult...
But I'm sure someone can develop it. There are many talented people here at xda .

I think Green button will be better because if you to take a photo he is "friendly finger".

Been using this for ages, works perfectly. Make sure you download the latest version from Scilor's website - it let's you press and hold any key to zoom in, then short press any key to take the picture - pure genius!

i tried this but it doesnt work at all for me i am using Energy rom with 2.07.50 radio help please?

AE Button Plus for some reason wont make any of the keys that i have tried to change to take a picture, i bought it in hopes that it would work but i have had no luck, so i just wanted to tell ppl so they dont waste there money, its a nice program and im sure it works just fine but just not for what i need it to do. it could also be that i am on NRG rom and that may be the problem because a while back i was able to use the KB config app to change the vol up key to take a picture and it used to work just perfect, but i think NRGZ28 changed something a while back and it wont work anymore on any of his roms. unless i am doing something wrong, but the same settings that worked before wont work any more. lol that just my 2 cents!!

http://www.scilor.com/leocameraanykey.html - this worked perfectly.. thanx!

It seems to be a feature with the newer Camera App. Im using version 2012.3628 and I can touch anywhere on the display and whild holding it takes a picture

OK, you're right.
It works with the one included in Energy ROMs.
Not bad... Finally more useful like that : you just have to keep your finger pressed where you initially pressed to focus.

[Q] 3D Button expanded functionality mod request

Not allowed to post in the developer section yet or I would've requested it to be added to the CameraMOD 3D posted by ErosizeD.
My biggest problem with the O3D is that the screen constantly switches off, your in the middle of doing something, or even just answer a call and instead of the in-call screen it will just swich off disabling the capacitive buttons. The only way to get it to come back on is to fiddle around trying to find the lock/on/off key....
I've requested this in the LG forum but doubt they listen to their customers. Hence, it would be great if one of the developers on xda could do a mod for the 3D button, making it smarter by incorporating the following functionality:
1. With the screen off, a single press of the button switches the screen on.
2. With the screen locked and on or off, keeping the button depressed for 3 to 4 seconds unlocks the screen and also switches it on if it was already off.
3. With the screen on and unlocked, it functions as it does now, as in launching the ‘3D Space’ app and if pressed whilst viewing 3D pictures, it switches between 2D and 3D view.
4. If the button is pressed whilst watching a video it works the same way as the Samsung i8910 whereby keeping the video playing with the screen ON but disabling the capacitive icons and the touch screen sensors/input (very useful for children). Holding the button down again would re-enable the touch screen.
5. If the button is pressed whilst the camera is on, it acts as the capture button to take pictures or start/stop video recording.
It does not need it to lock and switch off the screen as the current on/off button is fine for that purpose. It would also be very useful if pressing either of the volume buttons when the screen is OFF, simply switches the screen on!
Hope this is possible and thanks for reading this request.

If anyone else would like to have similar functionality added to the 3D button please feel free to add any suggestions/changes.
Thanks.

Just wanted to say...
I only agree about #5 on your list. The 3D key is indeed in the perfect position for taking pictures.
However, I don't agree with the other 4 points on your list.
#1, pressing the 3D button to unlock the phone is actually a much worse idea than the lock/unlock button. I don't know how you hold your phone, but I've just tried it out. With the way you normally hold your phone, the lock/unlock button is in a very nice place to lock the phone. A better place would be the volume up button. The 3D button... well unless you use phone on left hand a lot and press with pinky or you press with your palm on right hand, its a very bad place to put an unlock button.
#2 I have no idea what you are talking about. What do you mean holding it for 3 or 4 seconds and then it'll unlock screen and turn it on? If you unlock the screen the phone is already on. If your phone is off, then the screen can't unlock.
#3 I don't have anything to say about this becuase this is exactly how the 3D button works right now.
#4 I believe this is a useless attempt to stuff too much into one button. Just know that to make this feature work, you dont' make any changes to the button rather you got to make changes to the video player. And it'll only work for that video player. For example, we mod the stock Video Player, it works perfectly.. the way you suggested. Then you download a flv video and it won't play. You download MoboPlayer and it plays perfectly. You hold down the 3D button and it launches 3D space. Personally, I would suggest just downloading MoboPlayer because if you're watching something, you can press Settings button to disable all inputs.
5. Like I said, I would appreciate if the 3D button became a Camera button during camera apps. But this would only be for the stock camera app, which would mean modding the camera app to make this work. Personally, I would prefer pressing anywhere on the screen to take a picture as opposed to using the 3D button as a shutter button, but then...that's just my preference.

I don't know, but I want to wake up my screen with any of buttons like MENU/HOME/BACK/SEARCH

i would LOVE the 3d button to also be the shutter button.
the fact that it's not by default is pretty idiotic if you ask me.

so there is a way to make photo with the 3d button on Optimus 3d?!?!?
Plssss is so important for me....

if those mod can be applied (pls for someone here to make it real...), just gonna make this HH way much better....

I could think of creating something that does those features. But like other ppl said, everyone doesn't want all of those features, that's why we'll need an app that could let ppl choose the exact actions they want for the 3D button because seriously, how unimportant isn't the button really? A button that says "3D" is completely wasted and that's why something should be done, letting ppl choose the actions for their buttons, lol.
I'm new to LG Development but it's definitely not impossible by just an app, would required root though. I'll look further in too it when I got some spare time.

I for one would definitely love such an app! But the one function I really care about, that's switching the screen on with another button, different from the power key. I would even go for switching the screen on with the volume rocker if that idea isn't too bad! Hope you can really do something about it

1&2 - I don't really see the point in 3d camera screen on. Its not as if the power button is hard to press (Compared to other smart phones at least)
3 - I would prefer if the 3d button launched the Camera. There's pretty much no point in opening 3d space, besides showing off. Editing the \system\usr\keylayout\omap-keypad.kl from
Code:
key 249 3D_MODE
to
Code:
key 249 CAMERA
disables all other functions of the button, such as taking photos, 3d switching etc.
4 - This would be somewhat useful, but probably difficult as it would have to be coded into the stock video player, which i don't use since it seems to lag while playing some video formats.
5.The 3d button already takes photos with Stock GB ROMs.

what do u want this one button to do everything... Get over it long press = 3d menu and in camera mode on 2.3.3 it takes pics i say that is more then enough... I don't want it to turn my screen on etc.. I have other perfectly working buttons to do that...

I'm using ThiaZO3D on my LG Thrill with v18a baseband and the 3D button is great! pressing it now won't immediately launch the 3D launcher, you must hold it down. While in the camera app, you can press the 3D button to take a picture or start recording a video. You may even press and hold to keep the focus, then let go to take the picture. I've found that if you're in the middle of focusing it and you don't want to take a picture you can tap the screen twice or just hit the back button.
With this rom, it's perfect, no need for it to be anything else. Haven't tested with binding the 3D button as a key in N64oid or any other emulator yet, I assume it works fine as long as you don't hold the button too long.

have you try "No Lock " App? it 's work great if you dont' want the power button to be press while the screen off.

Looks like your power button got hard sticked in "Pressed" condition.
Try removing the stock cover and check the functionality of button.
And button remapping will be working only when device in fully booted.

I don't think so dude because sometimes if I press the key repeatedly the key do works and I can feel the key being pressed. If I take my phone to service centre they will atleast take a week

It was a hardware prob...
I got my pcb replaced by servicecentre...
