Hey guys does anyone know if there is a possibility to use one of the Volume Rockers as a Camera Button?
The other threads in the Droid forums didn't bring anything up but maybe you know a way?
I don't really like soft keys to use the camera because you will always screw up the pictures.
Also it would be possible to shoot pictures under water with such a key.
The touchscreen doesnt work in water
thanx
Try this app : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
thanx for the quick answer
Been looking for the exact same thing. Thanx a lot for the link, will try it asap.
:=)
can someone just tell if it worked?
would be great :=) thanks :=)
yes it works, set the button to none in remapper or the camera can launch while screen off. then you don't have a volume up button, so I use tasker to create a widget to put all the volumes to high.
use last VIGNETTE apk, it use camera button from volume! great!

u mean the app from the market which costs money? sry.. don't want to invest for basic functions :=)))
but.. i'm not quite sure how to configure the camera button.. will play around when i got time.. if anyone has the knowledge and the time to post the procedure for the above tool :=) would be great...
my problem: from the screenshots and the description.. i'm not quite sure how to define that the volume button actually gets used as "touch-screen-action"? :=/
greets...
How would anything get done if we all needed blow by blow instructions.
Read the post, install the APK, it's an app not a string of ADB commands.
Scroll down to volume up button, select it, tell it to be a camera button in the drop down, apply. If you don't want the reverse option on the note bar then configure app.
BTW the search button won't configure withthis app.

Need help remapping power key. Someone made awesome app called screen off & lock that does crt shutdown. It would be epic if we could remap power key to launch app.
whoa awesome i just downloaded it. the power button remapping would be awesome, but the long press search button isn't half bad. that's what i'm doing now.

I use voice search all the time. I would think the coding couldn't be to hard but I don't know where to look. It would be awesome if anybody could get this to work.
yeah i'm sure a lot of people use the search button, for some reason i never really need it.
with the camera hack that allows photos to be taken with the power button, and while watching videos, the power button locks the screen while keeping it on, so i know there's gotta be a way to get it to launch this activity. i just don't have any experience with this kind of stuff.
edit -
saw an app called galaxy tuner that apparently remaps buttons, but i am unable to mess with my phone while at work. give it a shot maybe?
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to remap the hardware keys. I want to do this because there is no dedicated search button on the SGS II so there is no way to utilize a quick compose feature from an app like Handcent SMS which designates Quick compose as a long press of the search button or the camera shutter button (SGS II has neither of the buttons.) Thank you
anyone know a solution?
once cyanogen mod hits the gs2, there'll be options to remap buttons etc, there working on the camera shutter button (use power to take picture). youll have a solution shortly after that

My apologies for bringing this thread from the grave but this issue has been bugging me from the beginning. I'm currently using CM7, could someone enlighten me how do I enable the long press menu function to activate the quick compose function. This is the only the thing
I miss from the iphone.
For anyone who is still looking for a solution, I have discovered that if you install LauncherPro you can assign the Long-Press menu button in CM7 to Quick Compose under the SMS app you use. Also for those that use widgetlocker I created an invisible button to activate quick compose as i couldn't figure out how to get the menu button to activate it in lockscreen.
Is there an app for rooted phones to re assign a button.. For example the camera app, i would like to use the power button or volume button to take the picture.
Any help would be great.. Thanks
I'd like this too wildfire has no Camera button :/

With CM7 you can set the soft buttons to do other functions. For example you can set the search button to a different app or search app. You can set up the camera to use either volume UP, volume DOWN, or Power button to take pics. If you use the power.button to take pics you can then set up the volume UP/DOWN to zoom in/out. I have asked about this in one of the stock roms but never got an answer.

Does anyone have an answer for the stock rom rooted?
I believe they are currently tinkering with the camera app to enable this functionality.
I was wondering if anyone knows a way to change the function of any of the four hardware keys at the button of the device.
For example, I do no use nor like the search key. So I was wondering if there was a way to change it so when I tap on it the applications drawer would open instead.
Any help would be awesome, thanks
I was going to suggest Button Remapper, until I saw that you wanted to open your app drawer with the search button. I used it to make the search button duplicate the menu button action for a while, but ended up changing it back.

I don't have a ton of experience with Tasker, but you might be able to get Tasker to do it.
I will check it out. Thank you

Sorry to raise an older thread, however, I am curious if you needed to do anything other than install / run the remapper app?
I am trying to get it to work, to no avail. It opens, I see the options, I change the functions from search to camera, save, apply. After I reboot, it still does the search, no camera. The remapper program also sees the 'saved' functions of camera, but still no luck.
Unless I'm mistaken, what I did to the camera there is supposed to make it so the search button opens the camera and takes the pictures. Well, it does open the camera, but it doesn't take the pics. Am I wrong about it making it so it also takes pics? And if that's not the right way to do it, does anyone know how?

When you make a button open the camera thats using the long press shortcut setting, so you for example you hold the search key for 2 sec and it opens the camera. And as far as the button used for taking the picture itself, that is a setting in the actual camera app that you can set in some roms. I know with CM7 you can set it to have the search key, volume key, or power button snap the picture.
