Are there any apps where I can use one of the volume buttons to act as a camera button and take the picture?

I wish we had a way to route the volume button to take pictures.
I don't think there is any app to do this.

CM7 usually opens up that functionality. Hopefully that comes soon.

Certain roms I believe have this feature. Look in settings then look in system then go to hardware keys and see if your rom has the ability to create a short cut to the camera through custom actions. Or see if you can assign short cuts through settings. Certain roms will allow this. Also , you can look in the play store and see if certain camera applications have the ability to assign short cuts. This is possible. You will have to do some searching but I believe certain play store camera applications will allow this. Also you can try the application "quicker" it allows camera and video short cuts.although I'm not sure which keys. Just take a look. I'm sure there are other apps like quicker available too. It will just take some searching. I Hope this helps you out. Best wishes.

You guys do realize that this thread is over a year old? I think it wouldn't be too hard to modify the camera.apk to take pictures with the volume key. Someone did something similair for the Xperia Play, with the shoulder button instead of the volume button.

This will come in time my friend.. With higher root comes higher privilege that we can take advantage of, or HTC finally realizes and updates our devices with an option to enable / disable

Not without root access.
Why do people think the genius button is so horrible? Its helluva lot more useful than regular search, you would know if you actually tried it out.

I wish I could customize it to launch vlingo instead. Genius doesn't even have a navigate command. I would use it, but it starts way slower than vlingo and isn't as accurate.

I have used it. I like Google Search better. That and I get better results with Google Voice Search.

It's called choice. I don't want it for search at all. There are other apps that can take advantage of the search button on every other device except the Slide and the MT4G. Options are always a good thing.

+1 to map it to Vlingo instead...I wonder if I can setup a Tasker profile to do this? The "Genius" button so far is the only thing that has ever caused my phone to crash and reboot...
i love the genius button. i use it all the time plus there are navigation options in it. i use it all the time. it asked for an address and i said mine and it did great and had no errors reading what i said. or i can say a place i wanna find and it shows me ones around me then i click on it and click nav and its good to go. i love how it reads my text messages and i can say a text message and it does really good with picking up what i said with out having errors or not putting in words i didnt say.
Have you guys tried downloading Google Search or any other app that uses the search button?
Maybe that applicatino that allows you to launch anything with the search key.

is there one out there or can someone make it.
looking for a power widget like the stock one for the sensation. but can it include mobile networks on/off and maybe remove the gps icon.
I think there is Power control or something like that... just search in the market, you get to see many...i use the Quick settings Tab, no need to waste space on the home screen.
Try widgetsoid, extended controls, powerplus

Does anyone know if u are able to reprogram the search button as multitasking? If not is anyone here capable and willing to reprogram it for some of us who I'll use it because I rarely touch the search button. Anyone else would like this except for me? Btw I'm running eagesblood, Thanks in advance
I second that request. That'd be way more useful than the search button
Do you mean the recently used/running task list? That's accessed by pressing home one the first home screen.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I would love this. Seem to remember CM7 having custom application launching for touch and hold search button so it might be a feature that just hasn't been implemented yet.
I have seen customizable keyboard modifications for devices with physical keyboards in order to remap some of the less useful keys to something worth while. When I have more time I may try to dig it up and see how complicated it is. Anyone care to tackle this? I probably don't have the knowledge to complete.

I know u can long press home but that is time consuming sort of in a way and I get annoyed by doing it.

You can customize the home key in cm9 like you can customize the search key in cm7. You need to install Apex launcher. It have a lot of features you would like. This launcher do everything like cm7. Try it out.

Can you just remap it with Button remapper or Tasker?

Button remapper won't work because it doesn't remap the long press stuff like multitasking.

Yeah that is is, has anyone tried this yet on our phone? I went back to cm7 so can't try this atm. Ill switch back to ics when i don't need my phone for anything important.
Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything related.
In later versions of Sense, the home screen app list is becoming the preferred way as apposed to recent apps in notification bar (which is my preferred way). But it's slow I think. There is a good 2 seconds before app list comes up after I keep home button pressed.
Is there any way to decrease this delay?

I want to know this too. I searched a bit, but did not find anything.
Mods, could you please move this to general android development or mods section?

I also need to know if it's possible to reduce the time between pressing home key and app list showing... On Android 4.1+ the "switch" button is very useful and instantaneous. Maybe there is a setting to change in some configuration file?
This might be a stupid question but.
I have 4.2.1 now on my HTC One S thanks to Dark Jelly, but how do I get to My Apps, and My Wishlist in the playstore?
I'm not sure how that rom exactly works, but try holding down the recent apps button for context menu.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Yea holding that down does nothing.
Might be a problem with the ROM, not sure. I guess I should post over there.
*yup, a setting on the rom.
Settings-- system-- hardware keys
From there you can set one of the keys to be a shortcut to the menu (long press recent apps key is what I use). Hope that is what you're looking for...
