Are there any apps where I can use one of the volume buttons to act as a camera button and take the picture?

I wish we had a way to route the volume button to take pictures.
I don't think there is any app to do this.

CM7 usually opens up that functionality. Hopefully that comes soon.

Certain roms I believe have this feature. Look in settings then look in system then go to hardware keys and see if your rom has the ability to create a short cut to the camera through custom actions. Or see if you can assign short cuts through settings. Certain roms will allow this. Also , you can look in the play store and see if certain camera applications have the ability to assign short cuts. This is possible. You will have to do some searching but I believe certain play store camera applications will allow this. Also you can try the application "quicker" it allows camera and video short cuts.although I'm not sure which keys. Just take a look. I'm sure there are other apps like quicker available too. It will just take some searching. I Hope this helps you out. Best wishes.

You guys do realize that this thread is over a year old? I think it wouldn't be too hard to modify the camera.apk to take pictures with the volume key. Someone did something similair for the Xperia Play, with the shoulder button instead of the volume button.
META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Yes of course!
Ok, here is my report, takes a very long time to load the page. I could say the interface can be a little better like maybe add some words on the buttom. Side to side doesn't seem to work for me, maybe it was the website I was on.
Not bashing the widget, just want to provide constructive criticism based on my opinion. If the speed of the browser would be faster, it would be perfect. Also Idk if u could, can u select more then on place on the website to create a widget for? I didn't know how if u could
Edit: leaving 5 star feedback because I am sure u can fix everything in the future, thanks for ur hard work

There isnt much to be done about the browser im afraid. Re the interface, it will definitely be adjusted in futuer updates. Re multiple elements no this isnt possible its just a limitation of the os. Re arrows - they are contextual and are actually more like "expand left" rather than move left.
The widget constructor will be out tomorrow!
Widget Maker is out, you can find it here:

I'm using a custom ICS rom - Eaglesblood on my T-Mobile G2x.
When I attempt to place the widget on an open home page, I get the "type in a page url" screen that disappears after 10 seconds. Doesn't allow me to enter a web page. It then attempts to go back to the home screen but it freezes in doing so, leaving a "frame" where the widget would have been. After a minute or so all is normal again.

This is the first ive heard of something like this. After entering a url, did you press the "play" button to the right of the address bar?

If u don't mind suggestions, I would like to say advertsise the widget and maybe people might be wanting to purchase the app. I don't think many people know about this and it can be useful. If ur lazy like me. It can be a little hassle to set up though but thats it.

Is their a way to get SVoice home button intergration like the galaxy s three
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Some custom ROMs for One X have an option to assign various functions for long press on the capacitive keys. One option is to launch a custom app. So you can install the S-voice app and assign it to the home key. I think I remember seeing this feature in LeeDroid One Xtreme. There are quite a few other ROMs with it too. Look through the ROM descriptions.

I'm just going to leave this here:

It's beta but since it's not a very complex app, it is stable.
A few days ago, I read someone's complaint that they could not make a media player, such as Plex, their home screen. Apparently they are using their device as a TV set-top box.
So, I quickly put together this little app that does just that. It can also be used as a kiosk application I guess.
Features (why not?)
Springs into action when you tap the Home key (see below)
Double-tap Home key to access settings
Optional lock code to protect settings
Launch any app when tapping the Home key (aaaaah ok)
From the settings, you can launch anoter app, for instance an app drawer
Beautiful black and white interface, reminiscent of silent movies and broken TV sets

Very nice.
Well, have the phone for a week now and still couldn't figure out how to add shortcut to lockscreen.
No app nor widget... Only accessible is the pre-installed Google search
Is this specific to MotoG or Android 4.3????
There are few apps on the Play, but I would like to know if there's native support for lockscreen apps/widget on MotoG or not.
UPDATE
Nevermind. Just figure it out.
When lockscreen active press the power button and either very left or right side of the screen press and slide and it show new "tab" with + and there you can add widget. However, it shows actual data (SMS, Email) so any one can check it ( so much about privacy!!!).
Why the hell Moto couldn't add simply notification???
UPDATE 2 :
The camera shortcut (far right) can not be changed/deleted.
You can ad up to 7 widgets ONLY (no apps!).
To delete/change shortcut, briefly press Power button slide to desired tab and press and hold until you see X Remove on the top. Just pull up the page toward it and it will be removed and you can add another widget.
This is what stock android is like

No idea. You could try finding a widget that has some kind of launcher
