Camera button--on screen only? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the only way to take pictures to hit the on screen camera button? makes it hard to take self-shots.

if you download SGS-Tools in the market and use their hacked camera...it will allow you to take pictures using the power button....

There only unlock tools on the market...

Make sure you're rooted and you allow permissions

Use the 5 second timer.

there's one in the captivate forums that seems to work.

[REQUEST] Long Press to Launch Camera in ROM

Not sure why this was deleted last time as users were already discussing this topic. I'd like to know which moderator deleted it and why.
I think it'd be nice for devs to build into their rom a long press of a hardware button to launch the camera app.
If this thread should be in the APP/Themes section, a mod should MOVE it there not delete it entirely. Retarded.
So is this long press of a hardware button (i suggest one of the volume keys) possible to link to launching an app specifically the camera?
i was wondering where it went myself .ah well i like this idea and would use it if it became available.if its even possible
Look for an application on the market that lets your configure the long press on search softkey.
It'll let you load any application by long pressing the search key.
Thank you, works great.

Select Applications from the list, then choose Camera. It's there

I could be wrong, but i don't think the mods owe you any explanation. If you knew where you went wrong, why ask the question?
Anyways, back on topic, this would be an awesome mod on stock froyo, one I'd like to incorporate into my rom
OOORRRR.... You could long press your "seach key." To my knowledge the long press comes unassigned to anything. If you press it, it will give you an option of which app to use for it.
Search for the camera and VOILA! Again.
Personally, I have it set to QuickDesk.

Assign program to camera button (Q)

I use Vignette since a while and am very happy with this program.
Now i want to assign Vignette to my camera button so it will open when I press it.
I searched everywhere on my phone but couldn't find it. It sounds to me it should be extremely easy but for some reason I can't figure it out.
Does anyone know how to assign an app to your camera button??
Cheers,
Arnold
Open Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, (wait for it to load), Camera.
Click "Clear Defaults". The next time you press the camera button you'll be prompted as to what application you want to use with it.
The same feature works for other apps, for example Messaging, you can choose another app to handle SMS.
Thank you very much for replying, but I can't clear defaults as there aren't any selected according to the system. Strange thing is however, after I been in this camera settings, my camera button does nothing at all anymore when I push it...
I have the feeling I move further away from what I wanted than coming closer...

You have to press it hard for 2 seconds.. try it... this button is kind of hard to press...
i pressed it so hard for about ten seconds, it almost came out on the other side but the button has now no function at all
Didn't work
Didn't work for me either. Followed the instructions and it just took slightly longer when i mashed the camera button.
Try uninstalling the vignette app rr install and press camera button it should ask which one you would like to set by default

use camera without unlocking phone?

what i mean is get to camera without haveing to unlock youre phone and hit the camera icon? thanks
I don't think so unless you are using a custom rom and even then it may be a long shot I haven't ever seen it or tried it on my htc evo I managed to add app to the pull down unlocker but never on the atrix! But I'm sure you can if you want to bad enough good luck!

You can use lockerbot and place a shortcut to the camera on your lockscreen.
On the iPhone I used Snappy to launch the camera from any screen, including when the phone was locked. I would love to see something similar on the Sensation. Sometimes you need to take a quick snap when unlocking and finding the camera app takes a couple of seconds too long
Edit: Stupid new-thread-title-searching - this was meant to be in the Sensation section!
WidgetLocker is another great lock screen replacement that allows for shortcuts to be on the lock screen

Gallery not working?

For a while now, my gallery hasnt been working. I am using the stock 2.3.4 gallery.
When i open the gallery, all my pictures show up, but when i try to view one of them, a blurred version of the picture shows up with a loading symbol, but the picture never loads.
I dont know what to do and even after several reboots it hasnt been working.
Can someone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?
I'm not sure what it is but since I found quickpic in the market I never looked back. Much faster, full of options. Give it a try!

Hm.. It's not that it goes to the last viewed folder or something? Try pressing the back button.
Or check the hidden folder option in settings.

You may need to go into the QuickPic settings and add the folder where the existing pictures were saved.
I'm not sure what the problem is because the picture thumbnails right showing up but when I try to view them, there is just a loading symbol but it never loads. Honestly this is getting very annoying, now that I haven't been able to view the pics for over a week now.

I seem to have fixed it for now but this has happened before and usually the same problem keeps coming back.
Also, could someone tell me if there is supposed to be a .nomedia file in DCIM> Camera?

Home Screen Rotation

Some where I read in the reviews that finally Sense 4.0 provides hone screen rotation, but today I check the phone in sprint store and it does not...Now I know that I can use 3rd party launchers but then I will lose sense advantages...What is with android and home screen rotation is it another of of the apple patent thing?

I will do it in Car mode even after you exit car mode if using the HTC Dock. It will also do it when using media link.
I am not sure why they won't allow us to do it at will though. I would like this to happen.
Many custom Roms allow landscape...

with sense or without sense?
Is there a way to achieve this without flashing a ROM? is there a build.prop setting that could be changed? it does work in car mode after all....
You need a modified rosie.apk. You need to be rooted to change it but don't need to be bootloader unlocked. There are threads about it on here.

With sense. There are a couple of ways to do it.... If you do not want to root, you can get app from the play store that will rotate the home screen..... I forget the name of the app though....
Or you can flash a custom rom... I m using charmeleon rom and there is an option for screen rotation.

If I were you, I would just wait for the sgs3 to come out.... So you can compare the two and make your choice then.
Also you can check out reviews of it and there will be reviews directly comparing both.....

yeah that is the plan, not leaning more towards evo though, as i have used only htc phones sgs2 is the only samsung phone i owned...but yes will wait one more week and see...thank you so much for providing me correct info, if i had asked this kind of question in SGS2 forum, being an evo owner, i would be dead by now..
The app is rotation locker from playstore. After installing click on it and longpress auto rotate. Bamm you have landscape rosie

As others have mentioned it does rotate home screen and app screens if you exit car mode with the phone still docked. I have not been able to rotate these screens outside of the dock, however.

I am still not getting the answer...Is it because os some patent infringement or something else?
I have tried a few android phones and none seem to provide it. Now I tried apex launcher, go launcher and others and they can provide it, so I am still not sure why we do not get it in stock launchers?
Rotation locker worked great on my phone but has one maybe unknown side effect. If you have it set to permanently stay on landscape or you have the auto rotation feature enabled and you enter the camera app you will be in for a nice treat.
The camera app focus disorients and everything looks funny and in a strange angle. You have to aet tthe phone to portrait mode so everything could go back to normal.
Other than that, the app works great!
