Then save and reboot, now you can't open camera with the button , but you can close and open screen with it (include power off)

So the power button calls the camera, and the camera button calls screen on/off and power on/off?

Kinda cool but why do that?..now you have to be left handed and push the power button on the side of the phone to take a picture ,right?
Unless u feel like tapping the screen which is hard to do while trying to keep the phone steady..

Maybe he's left-handed? lol Maybe a "I can do this am I'm gonna" thing... dunno.

Gotcha. Tried it, works. Any other button re-assignments that could be made?

You can try others, but make a backup of the original file. ^ ^

Camera key Atrix 2 is suck, hard to press --> shake -> blur image

thanks! it really makes life much easier for the incipio case - where the power button is a finger killer , damn too hard to push.
I'll try it soon
edit: seems that it doesn't works for mine :\ btw there are a few more files in that folder that have the key 212 CAMERA line, should i try changing them also?

Would it be possible to map it so the camera key works as the power on/off with a short press but still start the camera app with a long press?
I agree with the Incipio case. I ended up placing some small chunks of tape on the buttons before getting it in the case. It makes it so there's less travel needed to make contact.

Get zmooth pro, is has more solutions for you

Sometimes it will happen, perhaps camera button is working on wake time.
So, you can use camera btn to close screen.

Can we have slide to wake like htc does?
I guess it will save our hard button.

I think the camera button (after some time on sleep) still wants to call for camera, rather than wake. If I use the power button to wake, then sleep via camera button, that works. I can then wake via camera button and sleep, but if left in sleep more than 5 minutes or so, the camera button won't wake....

Google Now suggestion for Jelly Bean ROMS

Sorry, I dont own an S3, I might soon though.
My friend said on CM10, the only way to get to Google now is through the search bar on the home screen, whereas on my Nexus, I have that option or I can press the home button and slide it up.
So for the Galaxy s3, someone should make it like S-Voice where you just double press the home button for Google Now to come up.

You can also add a Google Now shortcut on your home screen. That's what I did.

I understand that you can do that. But in my opinion, its too many steps to go through when you are already in an app to have to go to the home screen to do a search. There should be a hotkey.

at your home screen you can long press menu.
to set it as double press home, use the app from play store called "home2 shortcut"
your welcome.

Edit: scratch that, figured it out, thanks

Briefly hold down the Home + Power buttons. It'll snap a photo and be placed into the Gallery.

4.4.2 easter egg!

I found a neat, but insanely infrequent easter egg :sly:
When you go to settings> about phone and tap the 4.4.2 box it takes you to a "K" screen. (Not the easter egg)
Tap or long press the "k" and it takes you to the "kit kat" screen (still not the easter egg).
Long press that and it takes you to a screen that is reminiscent of windows phone.(almost there!)
When you press the tiles they fly in and out and change. The images on the tiles represent the OS designations from Donut to Kit Kat. If you play with it long enough though you will find, (here it comes!!!) A Key Lime Pie tile. It is VERY quick, just long enough to notice it, I've tried to get a screenie of it but samsungs slide to capture is just wayyyy too slow. Just thought that might be interesting to some, seeing as everyone was hyped up on this OS being designated Key Lime Pie. Well played, Google. Well played.

I found 4 fast taps on each screen works & long press on KITKAT logo to get final screen.

just curious as to why you use slide to capture screenshot. why not just press the power button + home button combo? much faster

Because I had no idea about the hardware capture option. Lol, Samsung Haas spoiled me with its fancy motions and what have you.
