Hello you think it will be possible to root the camera button on the touchscreen to a physical button like the on/off button or the middle button to make better pictures?? If you try to make a photo from yourself it is nearly impossible to hit the button on the touchscreen to make the picture. Bad Solution from Samsung.
It'll be hard: power button is tied to sleep, home button is tied to suspend. You'll have to override these functions for it to happen.
maybe with a app it would be going i dunno i heard about vignette with that app it is possible to make pictures with the volume buttons.

camera zoom fx can set volume up or down keys to take pictures
Check this thread.. Posted under the general section.. Don't know whether it will help because the uploaded file is for SGS i9000.. But he has managed to implement it on an ACE so he might be able to guide you all through the process..

hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has found the camera to be annoying because you have to be literally holding the camera in front of you to take pictures because theres no dedicated camera button on the phone. i was wondering if its possible or if someone has already created some mod to where they can use lets say the volume up or down button to take the picture. i'd rather sacrifice the zooming feature with the volume rockers because i can zoom in and out right on the screen before i take the picture. thanks to anyone who has any information on this.
Bump?

Wondering if anyone can disable the volume rocker?
With a flash update?
Or an app that can enable/disable the rocker for the evo shift?
I don't think anyone has come up with this yet. At first it was an issue for me, but as I've gotten used to the way the device is laid out I haven't hit it anymore.

Its somewhere in this forum. There is an app that locks it down. Might've been mentioned in the Issues thread? Seems like it was a guy ranting about how he hated everything about the Shift.

i wonder if anyone has tried button remapper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
there's buttonremapper
worked well
wish I could disable the rocker comlpetely, but there's no option
so i made my vol up into camera button (since we don't have one) and vol down as media next track (lol).
as camera button, it works pretty well, hold it for a second, it'll load up the camera app, press it and it'll take shots.
Anyone know EXACTLY how this app works? I can only get it to work in SMS threads...i press back a whole bunch and nothing happens, then i hit the home button and it takes a picture. I use shootme for the most part, but having a screencapture service built in is cool, IF I KNEW HOW TO USE IT. so does anyone know how it works?
i am on a samsung vibrant with team whiskeys bionix v 1.3.1 rom
this has been brought up many many times, no one that i know of has been able to discern how to make it work natively. My understanding is that this happens when a system level crash occurs or the phone freezes up.
i know with my tablet you press and hold the back button then hit the power button. it snaps a sreen shot
its probably an issue with not have physical buttons on the button like the i9000 does

No it doesn't work for us because we have no physical button.
I9000 does, and those little bros can!
My i9100 built-in Screen Capture Service default output is png format. How can I change it to jpeg format?
Hi guys ive been reading threads and couldnt find any topic that suits for our ace..
I really get frustrated using the touchscreen as the shutter button for taking pics, especially when im taking pics of myself.. Thats why my SGAs cam is kinda rusty now coz i dont use it often.
Is there any MOD or Apps that can replace/reassign some of my hardware buttons to be used as camera shutter button??and is compatible to our ace or to the rom we are using..
thanks in advance guys..
Cyanogenmod 7 has that feature, try it
in cyanogenmod, open camera> press menu button >go to advanced options >check volume up or volume down.......
Is there any way to set one of the physical keys as the camera button?

I don't understand why you would want to replace one of the physical buttons... You do KNOW we ONLY have volume buttons, home button and a power button? Right?...

Sounds like you're having a bit of "diarius" of the brain! now that's smart!
Seriously not sure you would want to do that but the menu button held down will get you to Google now so if it were possible I would start there.

The VGA camera in the front isn't very clear; gotta turn the phone around to take a good pic. Voice command doesn't work well outside. I was thinking of something like holding the power button while the camera app was open would = snap a pic instead of shutting the screen? :highfive:
Camera Zoom FX is a camera app. You can configure the volume up/down buttons as a shutter. There is also an app on the Play Store called Volshutter Camera, which allows you to configure the volume keys to activate the shutter.

Hello mensrius,
This is quite amazing, I am already using this feature with my p765 factory JB rom v20a. Pressing volume button (no matter up or down), while having stock camera app open, phone sets focus and snap a picture . May be you haven't tried it or this feature is missing in p769
