Hi fellows,
Have you ever thought about remapping the Power Button to act as Camera Shutter. Unfortunately Samsung in our machine hadn't make any dedicated button for camera.
Is there any option to make something like that? Is it hard to achieve? Where to start?

The links you gave don't have a solution for the SGS2. Searching for something doesn't automatically mean finding something of value. Is there anyone working on a hack like this? I'm using tasker with a gesture at the moment but I find the process quite clunky in all honesty...

If you read the threads that were linked to, you would find that other people have asked and that there isnt a solution yet. I.e. No one is working on it.

I hope so. I suppose it is achievable, but it requires modifying ROM or some parts of Android system files. I wish I had enough knowledge to try find out how it can be achieved.

Have you done yet? Chill out and if you don't have anything clever to say, then stay quiet.
Perhaps you should chill out. I am asking about a feature, in a calm way. It is a valid question, and one that will perhaps drive someone to solve this particular issue. If it isn't an issue for you, please kindly troll another thread.

The issue is simple users who only want to repeat the exact same question day after day .
How the f** can anyone find time to do what you want answering the same question day after day and yes i should ignore the morons .

Alright, ignorning the 14 year old, the only way I found to use the camera is by making a gesture in Tasker, an app you can find in the market. It's pretty much an overkill for that, but it does work.
Here is the relevant page in the Tasker wiki, perhaps it will be of help someone:
http://tasker.wikidot.com/camera-gesture
I'm sure a better solution can be found, though.
Would love to have it too. Though When pushing the powerbutton you risk of shaking more. But in the end yes please

Noob here. Not really understanding how to root my phone. I simply want to root it and then install the very best and stable FROYO software. I don't need a ROM as I like Touchwiz (I know, don't kill me).
Can someone, pls provide detailed chronological ordered instructions on how to ROOT, what I NEED after I root and then install FROYO.
Thank you

Did you read the General Sticky? I tried very hard to make that as clear as possible. Just download the file, rename it, put it not in a folder in sdcard/ and then go to stock recovery (with your phone off, press and hold both volume keys, press and hold power, release power at the Vibrant screen while still holding both volume keys) then click on apply update, reboot phone and you are rooted.

WOW! Such sarcasm. I don't really think that was necessary. And YES..... I did read the sticky.
sarcasm??? WTF, I was genuinely trying to help man.... if the sticky was not enough for you, you probably don't need to be rooting your phone because it doesn't get much simpler. Good luck, if you want help from others, try and not burn bridges. I tried.

Listen, i was in your position not too long ago, trust me , email thegreat520. I was a straight noob and now know a lot of **** and flash custom roms and do **** to my phone all the time flawlessly and he taught me it all, email him dude.

@ OP: if your looking for stable as in, set it & forget it, do yourself a favor & wait... Seriously! One way I tell how a ROM is doing is read the first 2 post & last 2 pages. If you see the same issues being stated, dont flash, unless you are willing to deal with that problem.

He was just very patient and answered all my questions, and he's a very trustworthy guy. I bricked my phone about a month ago and have linux and couldn't use odin plus i was still a noob so seeing as my options were buy a new phone or say **** it and send it to him i sent my phone to him and he fixed it, added froyo and shipped it back. Plus he taught me a lot now i kno how to do a LOT now and no longer consider myself a "noob".
Thegreat520 should be a mod on here as he is by far the most helpful person i've ever come across online.
Interesting, so how much did he charge?

LOL I Thought the EXACT Same thing, because that sounds very fishy. Considering the time it took to ship there and back... like a week to 12 days at the very least? He must of had access to a STABLE version of Froyo before everyone else here on the board.
Yeah, to be clear I'm not trying to say anything negative. People helping people is ALWAYS a goo thing.
I can't use neither the internal mic or a headset with mic in my B&N Tablet.
Can anyone help me??

What are you trying to use it for? Its use is very limited and pretty well documented throughout the forum. The only app I find it works well for is google voice searches and dolphin HD. If you are looking for it to work for a phone app then you will be disappointed. Maybe some dev work later on, but I can't say for sure what the plans are.

I've tried to use it for those two apps and doesn't work. I also tried to use it with Skype.
It says that there is an internal error.
the devs ( builders ) have been stuck for a while with some ( critical ) piece called 'ducati' that's giving them a major row... but i am with you about the microphone. i wish and hope the devs give the mic a first class treatment in the internal plumbing and rig in the voip for skype too. so . . . we just have to wait for the 'old car' to get out of the way !

why do some say their microphone works ( okay or so-so ) , while others have no microphone at all. this needs troubleshooting -or- just wait until the devs fix / conquer the 'dukati port 10' bug ? ? ?

My mic works for some apps on CM7, but not in any voip apps which is what i want it to work with most. I have even used my headphones with inline mic to no success.

OK, I was trying to flame you. Does that make you feel better. Like I said though, it is getting old you being an ass to others.

Also, if you read this persons post carefully, there is no request for a eta or update regarding when something was going to be completed. It was a question regarding if there has been any progress made that maybe they had missed or couldn't find. This forum is difficult to perform a search for info and find what you are looking for, especially when you are new. With time it becomes easier when you learn to use more defined key words. I guess that is what made me angry when your response was rude and uncalled for in this particular sitiation.

1) I did say something 'useful' which was proportionate to the question.
2) No.
Thanks for playing.
Edit to add - Again, think for a moment. Different phone. Will require different firmware/framework; I.E SGS2 roms will not run on the SGS3, of course the camera apk for the S3 won't work on the S2. Do you see anyone on here running the camera apk from the Nexus on their S2 ?

No, it wasn't hard. And that's exactly the point several people have tried to illustrate for you, but it has gone way over your head. You just don't get it.

I am currently logged in to XDA and have tried all of the different forum view options but I still don't see the "search" button anymore? Where did it go? Tried on multiple broswers too. Does anyone know how long ago it was removed? How do we search the forums now? I checked the Advanced search button on the top and got "Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." Not sure if that applys to all search functions.

Now that's an Irony!!!! Having to use Search, to find out the thread Search tool is gone!!
Google is Great, but very rarely do you find a specific XDA ROM answer on the first few looks or searches.
XDA thread search is a must have, to anyone who follows large threads and cant be glued to watching the computer all day long. It beats reading a 100 pages of posts where people keep asking the same questions, over and over again, instead of easily searching the thread, only to find their answer was 3 posts back!! You have permission to use my torch!! Keep Flaming!!
You can still use Google, like this.
Example search site:xda-developers.com/threadNumber
Works?

I use the google method as well...I guess it comes down to how folks train themselves when first using the site.
I'm a googler....g
A few weeks from now my phone just randomly froze and the only thing worked was to restart the device by holding the powerbutton for a long time. I thought that it was just some random freeze but the freezes have been getting worse and worse. Now it freezes almost twice a day for no apparent reason (like in the lockscreen, on the web, in the sms app, in the settings etc etc). Yesterday when I woke up the phone was showing the "Samsung SIII" logo, I guess it had crashed in the night and tried to reboot (?) but got stuck on the logo at the start. My rom would not even start. Took out the battery etc etc but it did not start. Reflashed another rom and the same thing happened today too. Have tried to wipe all data etc and tried 3 different roms and kernels, including the stock kerner but still random freezes. What could be the problem, how should I troubleshoot it? Really annoying as it have been working fine forever until it started to act crazy. Also tried without any playstore apps but still random freezes sometime.

How hard would it to be to actually explain it or actually link to the thread instead?
From your sig "Hit Thanks if I deserve it" - actually no, this time you do not deserve it. You could just have written what it meant. Lmgtfy is so old school.
Use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check
It'll check the chip and you know is it "SDS" straight away. If says "Insane" you're screwed

Thanks! :laugh: Yeah it the insane chip. Is there any fix beside sending it in and repairing it? Did not samsung release a software fix? What does that fix address? Is it just a preventive measure or does it actually fix anything? I am also rooted and on a custom rom, do I have to reset everything before handing it in? And if yes how do I factory reset it and reset the flash counter?

You have no clue about my profession, education or anything regarding me, do not judge people.

You seem to have no clue as to the rules and just want to be spoon-fed judged by your posts .
Thats all we can judge you by the fact that you have not searched and not even bothered to read the basic faqs and guides .

1. If you'd follow a kind advice from Glebun, making your homework properly, you'd never asked basic question related with it.
2. Education, profession, or anything else is related with the FACT that you're a lazy noob unable to search given link and to find answers by yourself.
Oh, sorry: your profession, based on your behavior here, straightly cannot be related with anything requiring self direction, initiative and motivation.
Finally, your stupid request to copy and paste for your use the clues of the very long thread is a pure example of absolute selfish, demanding and ignorant kiddo, who can face serious problems with that position as soon as he will leave nursery.
Seems that there may be some confusion over who is and who are NOT the Mods here. I suggest that everyone in this thread throttle it back a bit and try to help out instead of a snarky response.
Yes Rule #1 is to Search, but Rule #2.5 is to be courteous to your fellow members.
I'll post it here just in case you missed it.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

Thread Closed as OP got his answer.
I do suggest though that you read up a bit more on this affliction, so as your next thread is not fraught with the same issues as this one.
