Is it possible to use the power button as camera button. And the volume rocker to zoom in and out. I thought of this but it seems it has been around other forum section as well. I was just curious if anyone ever tried doing a mod for this particular purpose on ace.
There was a post once about this, but there was no actual mod posted [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149845]. You can try his original thread on the SGS though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980835

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.

Found it. Two apps are suggested. Volume Locker and Button Remapper. Check it out and let us know!

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.
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..

Ooops sorry guys, now only I noticed that the thread is closed..
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.......
I haven's seen this mod on sgs2, but it would be great to swap som buttons around, especially now on the sgs3...
Unfortunately Samsung have chosen a pretty bad setup now that we're running ics on our phones. The menu button is included in most updated apps these days, so to have a dedicated hardware button for this is very counter productive. And having to hold home, wait seconds to multitask is just plain stupid.
Alas, that's the way it is.
BUT could it not be possible to mod a Rom so that the menu button brings up multitask (currently: "hold home") and holding home brings up menu?
Basically it's just a swapping of the button functions. I guess it can cause some issues with the doubble tap to "siri" voice actions, but I'd happily loose that for better multitask.
Can anybody share some advice on this? Or even create the mod?

Theoretically, yes it's possible.
On my Desire only the power button could wake the phone, but I flashed a mod which enabled wake using the center button.
So for the S3, if there's a dev who wants to swap the keys, he can make one. You can try putting in a request in the Developers section a week or so from when the phone releases.

I remember when that mod came, it made using the desire a lot more efficient. It was a script edit, similar to the one for headphone button support if I remember correctly. I do think this button swapping on the sg3 will be a bit more challenging than that though, but we'll see.
I'll ask around a bit once I get the phone.
Hopefully more people than me will think this is something worth "fixing"
Hi everyone.
In my last two phones, using a "selfie shutter" (A remote button as seen in the link) worked fine for triggering my phone to take a snapshot with the camera app.
I did have to move the camera Icon on my old phone so the remote bluetooth button triggered itm, but after that it worked fine.
However with my LG V30, all this remote button does, is trigger the volume button and rise the volume with repeated pressings. it will not open the camera app.
Any ideas on this? I heard that I could "re-ma" the volume button or something but I've never done it before.
Thanks!
See the selfie shutter button in question below

Figured it out!
The item on the TOP LEFT of my android device desktop is always the first triggered.
I simple moved my camera icon there, gave the bluetooth device "Unlock" permissions, and now I am all good. Thanks

No way to delete posts on XDA, but you can always edit them -- which is nice. One forum I was in had a 24 hour time limit to edit posts, so stupid stuff stayed forever.
