Switch PPT button to camera button?

This may be a shot in the dark but is there any way to map the PPT button to be a camera button like the camera button on a tytn? I dont really like having to go to scroll over to pictures then press camera just to take a picture.
And does anyone really use PPT anyways?! Seems like ATT is pushing a useless option.

Totally agree any fix for this...

[REQUEST] Touch focus on camera app

Hi,
I recently took my Nexus on a trip and used it to take some 300 pictures. It's amazing the quality of the photos it takes, but one thing that really bothered me at times was the fact that the camera would always focus at the centre of the picture, while the important part might be at one of the sides.
Would it be possible to add a "touch to focus" feature in the stock camera app? What do you guys think?

Hold down on the "shutter" button to adjust your focus. Once you get a green box around your screen, that focal length will be retained until you let go of the button and a picture is taken.
If you slide your finger off the button (as in, without lifting), you can release the focus without taking a picture.
Not sure if that's the same thing you're looking for, but it's a hidden feature in the stock camera app.

Dude! Why wasn't I informed of this before!
Thanks a lot for the tip, I will make good use of it!

Manual Focus on the Fuze/Touch Pro's camera?

Would manual focus be possible to accomplish? I've had a few situations where I wanted to frame a photo with the subject off-center, but focusing on that subject and blurring the background is a tough trick.
I saw a suggestion in the Diamond forum for a method where you'd touch the screen to select the focal point, but I'd be happy with a simple mod to the capacitive 'zoom wheel' that would change the virtual focal length.
Any thoughts?

First, focus on the object (it must be on the center of the screen), then, touch (don't press) the Shutter button (action button) until the focus locked, don't release it, then, move your Raphael to your desired position (subject off-center), and finally press the Shutter button, the camera will not trying to auto-focus anymore.

Ah, clever trick! I didn't realise that it would hold the focus until you removed your finger from the button.
Thanks much... I'll give this a try. ^^d
Edit: Worked fantastically. I'll upload the pics when I get the chance.

Alternative camera app

Hi all i love everything about my note except the camera i find it very laggy i take a photo but then after a few more seconds its then taken the picture which isnt good imo so can someone reccomend a camera app that takes pictures with out lag please
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

or if anyone now how to take picture with power button,if it's possible.

I don't know if it's possible with the power button, but I use "Camera ZOOM FX" and it allows me to use "volume up" (or down) to take picture.

Try this
Fast Burst Camera Lite(free). crazy fast.

app which shows an onscreen camera button

I need to use my mobile (SE x10mp) for taking many photos, and I want to spare the hw camera button.
any suggestions on a FREE app which shows an onscreen camera button, so that I just tap the button and the camera snaps a photo? needs to work with A2.1
TIA

I use Camera ZOOM FX. It has a camera button on the screen. I think it also allows for tapping anywhere on the screen to take a picture. There is also a Uva Silent Widget Camera app that I use that places a shutter button on your home screen and you can take a quick photo using it without having to launch a full application. It comes in handy at times.
