This would be a cool app to have.

you might be able to find one that uses a volume button, like the iphone. im not sure you can have one that uses the power button as it would end up turning off the screen every picture. i dont know of any camera replacements anyways.

sorry am new to Andriod ,.... so pls forgive .......
BUT WHY use pwoer button to take pic ? Just curious
I thought the 'touch' is nicer

The sheer size of the Infuse makes use of the hardware power button helpful. When holding the device to take a picture, it is easier to hold the edges and tap the power button than holding it and tapping on the screen. For me anyway.

I can chip in my two cents worth and say a unnamed Dev was working on getting power button shutter working on the infuse a few nights ago. So in due time maybe we will see a thread with a modified camera.apk. They were having issues keeping the phone from going to lockscreen, so maybe after the holiday weekend we might see results. Overheard on irc.

Does this work on the Rogers version of Infuse 4G? or just for AT&T?

Thoughts on the ICS leak?

So for those of you that have ICS up and going on your skyrockets... What do you think so far?
I personally am seeing more responsiveness of my device. On GB it was a little sluggish and then I kinda got used to it, and now that I have ICS it's so much better. Apex Launcher is WOW on it.
My battery has lasted much, much longer too, and I've been doing tons of stuff on it this morning.
Can't wait for a rom based on stock ICS.

i like it but my home button wont work even after reodining and factory resetting any ideas

I love it,, what are some great ICS optimize launchers..? Like nova?

Can you guys download anything from the market?
Working now...not sure what the issue was...

A couple notes
1. I can't figure out how to take a screenshot now.
2. What's the home button problem? Like...in an app and hit home and nothing happens? Or can't use the home button to enter into d/l mode to flash CWM?
I have the latter; I can't enter into d/l mode to flash CWM now.
Edit: Wait...I might have it now. D/l mode, that is.
Edit: N/m. That was stock recovery. Any ideas how to get into d/l mode so I can flash CWM?

The other thread pointed out that taking a screenshot on ICS is done by holding one of the volume buttons along with the power button. So it's change from the home button in GB to the volume button in ICS.

I have to use XpressConnect to connect to my work WiFi and when I d/l'd it, it was from Market and didn't stick. Then updated to Play, d/l'd again and everything is kosher.
Just having issues getting into D/l mode again to flash CWM.

Were any of you experiencing bluetooth connection problems? I am suffering from the well reported issue of intermittent bluetooth connections and drops.
Im curious/helpful that ICS may fix this issue...

Yeah, I read that on another forum as well but all it does is make my volume go up or down, depending on which volume button I hit. lol
Does it work for you?
Edit: NVM. Got it. Volume down + Power. A little finicky at first, it seems.

Power off and Restart from Device options menu are not working for me, they just hang and I have to pull battery. Otherwise everything else seems to be working.

Powering down phone freezes. And the market is constantly force closing. I have tried fixing permissions. Reflashing. Not in that order of course. Nothing is working for me.

My market was giving me issues, but it started working better once I flashed the newest Play Store apk.

can anybody post a video of it?

Has anyone been able to compile this as a cwm flashable for us Rogers users?

smart stay

OK guys I am on ICS 4.2F-6B on my skyrocket, the smart stay app will not open and says the beta testing is over...any ideas how I can get this to work? Also the screen keeps flashing no front camera detected, however the front camera works when I go into the camera. Why would this be flashing on the screen?
Sorry to be such a newbie, but I guess we all have to start somewhere!

Try this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?5wokm0nh8ym9vza
Seems the guy who made smart stay has it rigged to turn off on certain dates as a beta.

He has the lite and pro versions of it on the play store now

i just got it, but for some reason, i dont think its working. It could be user error too! I followed the directions, but the screen wont turn on or off when i put my eyes in front of it or move them away. isnt it supposed to turn on when it detects your eyes and off when it doesnt?

No this one is just for when your screen timeout time runs out, if it see's two eyes looking at it then it will keep the screen on.

haha, told you it was user error! Ok, that works!! Do you know if we will get one that operates like the g3?

Any idea on how to make it stop talking? It randomly tells me I'm adjusting setting or going back to the home screen. I believe it is this app doing it because the phones never done it before.

the app hasn't talked to me at all! It must be another app that is talking to you. that's weird though!

Did you get a different version of the app with a hidden talking feature? 'Cause then, I want a refund.
Most likely it's your voice app or Talkback from your Settings >> Accessibility.

This application is over. The lite version is free to test over the market. But it doesn't work with low light. The best application for me is Sceeble and it's also free on Play Store. It works with the sensor.

is "SCEEBLE" that you suggested spelled right, because i can't find it on the Play Store.

It's SCREEBL without E at the end of the word. Download from the market it works perfectly and it's free.

(Mod) Enable/Disable shutter sound option in camera (how to)

I used and found this mod in the Sprints Galaxy S3 forum. I did not see this posted here so I wanted to share this. I take no credit for this. This was done by Freeza and by s3.Zeke.
What you have to do is use an app like root explorer and change the following lines in /system/csc/feature.xml
Edit the following:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Change the "false" to true. Save the changes and exit.
Reboot your phone and now you can toggle if you want shutter sound in options.
Remember you have to reboot your phone or it will not show up.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

An easier way, for me was:
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to System>media>audio>ui
Mount R/W
Scroll down to 'Shutter.ogg'
Rename to 'Shutter.ogg.bak'
Profit!
I've done this on both stock and Beans B14. I haven't tried it on AOSP, so the file structure may be different, but the idea is the same. (The file was called 'Camera_shutter.ogg' on the Thunderbolt.)

While this idea turns the sound off, you have to go through all the steps to change it every time. The OP's way allows you to toggle it on and off inside the camera's options. So you wouldn't need to go through all the steps every time you want to turn it on or off.

I installed the 'HE' ROM, and made the changes above.
The settings menu is not showing the sound toggle, although the device was rebooted and the 'true' value is confirmed.
Was working on G7 previously.
I'll retry.
Update:
Working

That's crazy. So Verizon actually removed that option with the update? I can't even think of anyway that would benefit them. I can confirm the T-Mobile version still has it on the latest update. Bizarre.

Its not a matter of benefit its a matter of perverts taking pictures and video with no one knowing. Its actually illegal in some states to disable the sound due to these retards that cant get their own woman and have to take pictures and video home to their computers to wack it too.

Thanks for this, works great on MA2! Just a note, make sure you properly set permissions of the saved feature.xml file. ES typically created a backup of the original file, and doesn't properly set permissions on the new edit, and this mid won't work until you correct that.

Control the volume buttons?

Hi! I'm not sure where to put this, but I think it's an app I'm after so I'll make a try here.
Is there any way, like an app, to control the volume buttons? I change the volume accidently all the time, actually I rarely ever want to change it since this is a wifi only version and I I find the system sounds just disturbing. So turning them off completely would be nice, and I've searched for a app to do this but no luck yet.. A small widget to replace the power button sure ain't hard to find so it must be possible.
Thanks in advance!

I have no idea what you mean but there ain't a way to turn off the buttons in the settings as far as I can see. And that's my problem, I know how to change the volume without using the buttons, there's even apps for that like the one linked above. But I've not found any to turn off the buttons, preferably all the time except for when it change the media volume but it's not the end of the world if I have to do that manually in the device as well..

Well I suppose it's good to know next time how to think when posting a new thread, I use different forums all the time but I'm not used to this "is it a question, post it in Q&A no matter the topic". To me every thread should be posted in the section that best describes the subject no matter if it's a question or not but that's obviously not the case here.

Hmm, I was worried about that but since there seems to be an app for everything now I thought there might be that for this as well. I know that I'm not the only one with this problem, and besides many with me think that the buttons are turned upside down when you use the device on portrait mode like I do now. If I have it turned with camera facing to the right seen from the screen side volume up is down and if I rotate it 180 degrees I can't hold and it while typing without accidently pressing the buttons.
Actually I think the button to adjust the system sounds is useless on a wifi-only device, but that's a different story. So to get back to topic, I suppose this mod can't be done without rooting the device first?

There's an app called volume locker which locks your volume unless you confirm any changes due to pressing buttons.
