Looking for a modded camera that will take pics with the power button.

Bump for same question but for either volume button
CM9 Skyrocket
Stock cm9 does this...
OK but I don't want to run cm9. I always ran a modded camera on my cappy and my infuse. I was just hoping someone had one. I keep turning my screen off when ever I want to take a picture.

'Ucam' can take pictures with volume buttons. And it take pictures faster and with better quality. give it a try.
Camera ICS will take pics with the buttons - configurable in the app settings.
Is it really that weird that I don't want an extra app? I just want the stock app to work with the power button. Also working completely after 15% would be nice too, the flash not working is better then not at all, but still... anyone?

Actually, this would be nice. I use Ucam, and it works fine, but I would really rather use the stock (modded) ICS camera with the ability to take Shots via the power button. Ucam uses the volume buttons, which works, but you have to have the phone turned upside down (from how most apps work) so the volume buttons are on top. Its not a big deal, but it is akward. I have not tried Camera ICS, but some of the reviews are iffy at best and again it is an extra app. I know in the past (maybe just for GB roms) such a mod existed but one that works on ICS roms (via CWM or Rootexplorer) would be nice.
Camera ICS+ looks and acts exactly like the cm9 camera, so its worth trying

Does Faux123's ROM use the same CM7 camera?
Yeah it does, that camera has always been terrible for me, I couldn't even zoom in on screen without using volume buttons, everything is cramped, u press zoom u get the thing below it.

For months I used DlevRom. In that Rom, there was a camera hack that allowed me to use the power button to snap photos and allowed the use of the volume buttons to zoom in and out.
I recently upgraded to Zeus Rom and it does not have that feature. I searched for the hack on XDA and downloaded and flashed the mod, however, when rebooted and used the camera, it would force close when I took a photo.
I am confused to why this hack would not work with Zeus. I read where the hack would not work if the ROM was not deodexed. But Zeus is. That is what confuses me. I ended up just reinstalling the normal camera, but would like to make this hack work. It is so much easier using the power button to take photos with my phone.
Thanks for any tips.

It should work but I know THAT D's reasoning was that it's not good to take photos under 15% and that it was hacked enough. Should work though..

I agree it should work but I followed the instructions to a tee and it would allow me to open the camera app and it would flash but it would force close after. Who knows. I just find it easier pushing the power button than trying to find the button on the screen.

I have it in NumasX. You need more than just the camera app. You also need the camera firmware.

it will take some digging, but ive personally attached the hacked camera.apk to the zeus thread. search thru my posts
just use root explorer to move it to system/app...make sure to mount r/w
ive yet to see a good explaination as to why its bad and personally i dont like to get owned by my phone when im trying to take pics at the end of the night:banghead:

I had the hacked apk and replaced the original camera apk in the system app folder. It must just be my system because when I did this it would force close.

bigfau,
I copied both the camera apk and firmware apk and it worked.
That is not spelled out in the camera hack thread so that is what is need on Zeus if you want to have the hack.
Thanks!

The only thing that I'd like to add is that the more recent version of the Pyr-o-ice desensed is the Virtuous rom over on rootzwiki (the creator works for virtuous team now). I've been using it for the past 3 days and it's damn good. Seamless transition, very impressive.
Ditto, virtuous inquisition is my daily driver and without a doubt the most stable I've run with yet. Id just head to virtuous' website directly.

I'm using virtuous inquisition ROM. It is very stable. The things that you will miss out are:
1. Shift/Alt buttons does not show indicators on screen when you double press on them for All Caps or numbers. However, you will get the Led light indicators on top of the keyboard (if you are aware that there are 2 led indicators for shift and Alt)
2. The burst shot function on camera does not work. So if you use burst shots (take 5 pictures one after another with a single button press to capture action scenes), you will miss out on that.
3. Not an problem issue, rather different from what it used to be, is that the physical www/com button opens browser instead of inputting www or .com
I did not get any error message or screen freeze issues on this ROM.

I know the power button was remapped on valhalla final rom to activate the camera button, is there a flashable zip file to do that for an ics rom? I know you could use tasker or some app from the market but tasker is super complicated and I don't wanna spend money. Thanks
Not yet.
Yes there is actually. If you click settings in the Camera app, and then Press the 3 little dots (...) to expand the settings, there should be a power shutter option. Turn it on, restart the camera app, and there you go!

it's not remapped per se.
But also, power button shutter option is only on certain valhalla based roms and the MTD roms. Also, on the MTD roms, it doesn't seem to work very well. It takes the picture and shuts the screen off too.

That's why you have to restart the Camera app before you take a pictures with the power button. That solved the problem for me.

Searched and didn't see this mod anywhere yet. Would love if someone could make it so the lock button or volume keys took a picture in the camera app? Thanks in advance

Synergy ROM does this! I'm running Synergy r64 and just verified the volume buttons will do it. Not sure but some other ROMs may have it baked in too.
there is one for aosp roms.
Yeah, I miss that from synergy but I was getting way to many hot boots to stay on synergy.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Do you mean reboots? That's why I switched back to r64.
BUMP BUMP
Download R64 (or whatever one has the camera app) and extract SamsungCamera.apk in /system/apps
Then put it into your /system/apps with the right permission
Use a root file manager
This only works on ICS TW, idk about JB TW
It doesn't work on AOSP

The app "vignette" can be set to snap a pic with the volume button.
Vignette is an awesome app once you learn how to use it.
