Tweaking "Power button" as a hack - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Im using the SKY ROM variant and it has a mod to use the power button as camera shutter.. Can we change it so that it only functions when in camera app? It's just a pain losing the boot menu when outside the cam app...
If anyone has any idea, it'll be a great help! Thanks in advance!

[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!

Yeah, won't work on any custom ROM. But I just found out today that you can start the camera by holding down the shutter button a little bit longer
I don't need the Gallery mapped to a button, and the video recorder is accessible through camera mode - so that is my "workaround"
Lol thats quite a nice workaround thanks =)
Yeah the media button hasn't been working. Hopefully if CBW comes out with an update we can get that fixed. I never really used the media button except to switch from one thing to another, I've always just done what was posted above since it was direct.
VERY GOOD !!! pressing the shoot button for 2 secs does work !!

Hello,
I have nexus S, and Cyanogen mod 7.1 rom installed.
I would like to know if it is possible to set a physical button for take pictures instead press the screen.
Which rom can do that?
Thanks in advance.
it's something regarding with the rom or an apk?
CM7 can do it.. Check the advanced settings in the camera.

as well i do know tat Mohan_kr maker of Embryo was able to remap. maybe a quick PM to him might also help since i searched and cant find anything
after a little more research i was able to find out the that it can be change in the residing location: /system/usr/keylayout or in the framework. sorry couldnt be much help but this is what i could find

Thanks for your input ... I am not looking for an app as most of them filled with silly ads or taking unnecessary resaurces ... I need to mod system to remap some key to take screen shots ... And I guess you're right it's somewhere around /system/usr/keylayout
Afaik not possible in stock but aokp/cm9+10 allows that remap in settings

There is an app called "screenshot er" that lets you take screenshots by holding down the search key, and it has a delay that you can set for however long you want, and it works amazingly well. No extra crap, just a really good app. I know it's not what you want, but it's worth checking out.

i agree with atrix ive used then Screenshot er app before the remmaping became available and works flawless
The power button and home key works for screen shots

I know this is an old thread, but all the screenshot remapping threads seem old, so I'm hoping I can get some help here anyway. My stock ICS on my S2 has home+power for screen shots. Hardware buttons died (home, menu, back, search) so i use softkeys to navigate, (Button Savior, works amazing, saved me a major headache) never the less, the screen shot doesn't work by pressing power and the home soft key. I've used other roms, like CM, where the screenshot is power+vol down and i want to use this method on my stock ICS. I to, don't want an app to do it, i just want power+vol down
Been trying to use xposed additions to remap for screenshot. not working so far and unsure of reasoning why, even bought the pro version to allow a multi step action to occur

Screenshots with android 4.2?

Hello xda developers,
I just flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly which installed android 4.2 onto my Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113. I am really happy with this update as I was able to keep my tablet rooted and upgrade to Jelly Bean. However, I am not sure about how to either add or setup a screenshot button like I had in the stock Samsung android ICS. is a screenshot setting available for Jelly Bean version 4.2? I would like to set up a screenshot option so that i can take a screenshot at anytime.
I thank you all for your help and assistance

Search in settings -> system -> power menu -> and ativate "screenshot" option.
Then if you long press power buton you will have the option to take a SS.
oh so thats how you do it...
Duarte777 thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate your help with this. Do you know if its possible to add a button so that it can do the screenshots instead of having to use the power button constantly? If anyone knows how I might be able to add that function I would be very
grateful.
Thanks

Pressing Volume Down + Power at the same time makes a screenshot.
Works on all Stock Android style ROMS like CM and AOSP.

i'm using that trick too
pressing power + volume down at the same times
okay okay...
I have been using the power button to take my screenshots, but what I really want to know is how I can add a button on the bottom menu with the back button and home button so that button can be my screenshot button. If anyone knows how to do that I would be really grateful. I tried adding a button but all I can add is a menu button or a blank button or a search button. I did that from settings...
Any ideas?...
