I'm trying to figure out how to change some of the option menus in the Camera app before I submit this to CM source for review, (because it's apparently a huge pain in the ass I guess...) but in the meantime, let me know if you find either of these useful.
**NEW** (02/03/2011)
Unified version with new settings menu!!
(and here's the source code)
(feel free to download and try these out!)
It's branched from the CM7 source, but it might work on CM6, I have no idea. Just install it over your current installed Camera app.
Enjoy

VERSION 1: Press the volume down button to take a picture.
VERSION 2: Press the volume up/down buttons to zoom in/out respectively.

fantastic!
Version 2 seems like the one for me, can you flash it with the nightlies?

I think the vol up/down version (#2) is a winner! Honestly an awesome idea! I've been wishing for something like this since CM6 on the EVO.
Nice job! Submit away!

Me likey Version 2!
Version 2 sounds like the way to go.
I don't use zoom all that much with the camera on my phone. A physical button to take a picture is paramount for me. Version 1 gets my vote.
I've been wanting something like this for soooooo long (Ver. 1). Thank you so much!

Certainly can! I updated the OP to reflect that.
Shinzul! How dare you work on anything besides wimax! I feel slighted and betrayed...
Self-shots without having to stumble across the screen? Yes please. I vote for 1.
How bout Version 3: Search button for camera and vol up/down for zooming

Version 1 works amazingly! Any way to make it so you hold the button down to focus (that way you can wait to hear the two beeps so you know it's focused) and it takes the picture on release??
version 2 ...nice work!!!! great new feature Shinzul!
Awesome !!! Me like Version 1.

I just installed CM 7.1.0 from MikG and the camera leaves much to be desired. There are few features/options, the UI feels like my original Droid and there are no special effects or ability to mute sounds like shutter and what not. Quite frustrating this past weekend when I was at a wedding and wanted to take lots of pictures but it was quite other than them reading their vows and what not and after taking only one picture I put my phone away because it was so loud. I miss the camera from MikG and wish I had the special effects like some of the newer camera versions. Can anyone help me out here? Prefer a Camera app that also has the video in it if possible. Maybe just a newer version of the stock Camera or ??
Thanks!
Here is the Miui camera.

Just install it like any old app.

New nightly has option to turn shutter sound off in CyanogenMod Setting>Sound

Will this replace the existing stock Camera or add a second app?

Trying to avoid flashing another ROM right now because I'm pretty far on a game and last time I tried flashing a ROM the Titanium Backup didn't work & I had to start over again so I'm not looking to chance it again right now.

It won't replace it. Just another option. Its way better than the stock one.

It will add a 2nd app. The miui camera is your best option, and its free. It's really good and works great with every aosp rom I've used.

Trying now....
Alright, installed it and LOVE it compared to the stock one included w/CM7. My only problem is that the effects list is missing the only one I would ever use and that's an HDR setting. Other than that I just need to figure out what all these settings mean. Burst? Shutter? Anti-Shake? Where's the user manual?

Thanks for the link but that thread pretty much only talks about how to focus a photo and how to focus on something that isn't centered. Not much discussion about anything else or any of the other settings.

I usually just tack a .bak on it just in case I need it later instead of deleting it.

Thanks for the information. I think I'm going to use the MIUI camera for the time being so no need to modify any files for the time being.
Well this is what I use on CM7 and this is the "FREE" version but they also have a paid version its better than the others i think. It starts with a grid but you can take it off in settings.
Same issue here as the newer's have the pano effect, etc. and are sweet.
As an alt to the miui one, you should checkout camera 360 also. Used to be a paid app, now free and has a lot of nice features ....

It's free now?!? I used that when it first came out years ago and loved it but the devs did some crazy crap (GREATLY reduced resolution of your photos and a few other things that I personally think is wrong) to the free version to get people to pay for it and so I abandoned it because I don't like those tactics. If it's completely free now then I'm all over that!
paper camera is cool.... its in the market
Is there any way for the MIUI camera to use the volume rocker as the shutter button? That's the only thing from the stock camera that I miss.

Bah! I hadn't yet noticed that. That was a great feature with the stock camera app and I hadn't yet tried the volume rockers. My single biggest gripe with this phone is a lack of physical camera button. PITA when you're trying to take a picture and you can't quite see the screen because of the angle.
hi all.
First I want to say thanks to all developers, users and all those who invest the time to get shoes are amazing. A big thank you from us in Israel
I am using ROM Zeus version 6.
The rom look great fast and well designed.no BUGS at all.
What bothers me is that I can not use video call. It is very helpful at work and I saw ROMS that option is available. Is this something that's easy to add?
The second question. Is it possible to keep the screen ON all the time when the power is connected? It really helps when you're driving and not have to open the lock screen Every few minutes.
The third question is related to the MIUI and CM ROMs
Is it possible to fix the problem with BLUETOOTH?
This is something very important especially when driving
If the BLUETOOTH do not work, you should keep the phone in hand and it is not safe
The only problem that prevents me from using these Roms
Or maybe we should wait for the ICS PORT?
BIG THNKS

1. Talk with video installer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22149687&postcount=31
2. BlueTooth on cm7 or cm9 or miui: If you can't make it happen yourself, forget it. Until Broadcomm release the source codes and until a kernel developer adds it into a working infuse kernel, it is unlikely.
3. Screen on for driving: maybe use a dedicated GPS?
Thanks a lot.
the bt is working with the stock rom and others . How it works rhere? Noobe question....

To get your screen to stay on you should be able to go Menu --> Settings --> Display --> Screen Timeout change to Never and you should be in business.

try aeon or try pulling the dialeractivity.apk from bigfau's aeon.
I think it is supported directly..i don't remember.
I think the dialeractivity.apk for doctorz rom in the captivate forum has it. whether or not it actually works with that icon mapping out the videotalk, i don't know.

Of course thanks to bigfau for the Rom.
But thank you for the idea.
By the way,AEON is a great ROM only is causing a problem with Hebrew fonts.
Maybe I'm just dumb and everyone else already knows about this, but I though I'd share anyway.
I've just discovered that you can take screenshots on stock ROM by pressing the power button + home button.
The screenshots will be saved in the same folder as the camera photos.
Maybe if people at least skimmed the instruction manuals for their devices, they'd discover these things sooner.
Umm... ok...

Good day guys,
I just got my Rogers Infuse 4G's power button fix..
I am hoping to add a feature to my stock ROM which i could use my volume rocker to wake instead of using power button.
I am afraid i break it again on simultaneous using power button to wake the phone, i have been using some stock ROMS with the said feature, but i have issue with video recording.
Hope you help me guys please..

I don't think you can could get that feature on a stock but the JB ROM's have them like Beanstalk has it and i use that to turn on my phone insted of using the power button. So i suggest flashing JB BeanStalk

but it has issues on video recording both 720p and 480p very flickery.
i love recording videos so i really have a hard time about the ROMS cam issues..
Aeon wakes the phone using the Volume buttons.
Also, I believe that there is an app that will remap the buttons for you.

Very Stable and it solved almost all i want on my phone, even my problem on camera flash led being no so bright after i rooted it.
Since i still can't post to their thread for some reason, i just have use this thread to shout a big "THANKS" to those thread starters and responsible for the development of those great stock and custom roms. Now I enjoy a steady phone with almost the original features of it +++.
Big "THANKS" to you guys:
