Are there any camera apps for CM7 that use the power button as the shutter control? After having that mod on so many Froyo ROMs, I forgot how crap-tacular it is to use the touch screen shutter button.
Thanks.
I havent used CM7 in a while, but iI remember being able to set the volume buttons as the shutter. (Could set one, the other, or both. I usually did both) Don't know how or if you can use the power button, which is what I assume you are asking for. Sorry.
open the camera in Cm7, menu >advanced options> choose power button to take pictures.

Thanks to both for the advice. Using the power button still causes the screen to shut off (or bring up the menu if I long press), but that same "Advanced Settings" menu can be used to select Volume Up or Down, and that works just as well for me; as long as there is a hardware button to press instead of messing with the touch screen.

I ticked both power shutter and long focus options..now my power button works as the shutter instead of turning the screen off.

Hi,
Is it possible to wake up my phone by pressing (or should I say touching) home button instead of power button?
BTW, I've found a app for turning the screen down called "Screen Off and Lock" in the market.
update: I found the TapTap App from the market is very good to wake up your streak without pressing the power button. It uses proximity sensor to wake up your phone and you can change the sensitivity. I have been using it for a couple of days, it doesn't degrade the battery life. At least I didn't feel that.
I use that app (screen off and lock) with transparent launcher 100% transparent to hide the icon. and NO LOCK app to use the power button to wake it up. But have not found a menu unlock that will work.
u can use widgetlocker it has this option
Or use the menu unlock off the market. Not home button.....but the menu button....

on most devices you change key 102 HOME in /system/usr/keylayout/sruf_keypad.kl to key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED but im not sure that will work anyways because these are capacitive buttons, not physical ones so its like trying to use the touch screen while its off.

I didn't try this one. If it does work, that's great.
Does this app consume more power than usual?

Oh, I found this one. It's just for unlocking the phone after you wake up it, but not for waking it up. Right?

Doesn't work for me, or perhaps I'm just dumb
I've used the app Button Remapper to remap all of the hardware buttons, including the camera button as two (focus, camera).
These can be used to power on the device with wake_dropped.
However, the Home, Menu etc buttons are not identified and remappeable in the normal way. Has anyone found if they're remapped from/to other buttons, perhaps the function keys etc?
I've found that remapping the keys:
volume up = home
volume down = menu
focus = back
camera = search,
it's substantially better to use in landscape mode. However, I'd like to disable the capacitive buttons, but haven't found a way yet.

Hey everyone
as the title says, how can i re enable back button on Clockwork?
it used to work then mustve pressed up*/down on volume rocker a flukey amount of times to shut it off
what is the combo to re enable it ?

you have to scroll through the menus a couple of times using the volume buttons till it appears on the screen "back button enabled".
Hope that helps

You can achieve the same result with tapping several times the "menu" button (the left touch button) until you'll see the "back button enabled" notification on screen.
Any thoughts on whether it's possible to implement a dedicated camera button? It seems superfluous to have both the home button and the power button able to wake the screen, and it'd be great to have one be able to unlock to camera.
That wud be cool like assign pressing both volume up and volume down at the same time as the button

Yes, this would be great. don't let the thread die.

I think in theory that would be great, but what button would you replace?
The home and power buttons both have functionality that the other doesn't do. Both can unlock the screen (as you pointed out), but they don't both lock the screen. Also, only one of them actually performs the "home button" functions. So both are really needed.
I think matrixzone5's suggestion of a two-button action would probably be required.
Someone's already implemented on screen ICS buttons on the SGSIII, so for me ideally I'd have the power button as the camera button and the home button as the wake/lock button. Works for me because my case makes the power button hard to press.
Hello. Recently my Galaxy s2 power button hasn't been working. As in when I either hold it down or press it, it doesn't lock the screne or pull the power menu. It works now and then but yeah I have to press it over and over again.I plan on getting it repaired soon but I'm looking for an workaround. I've seen apps that let me turn my phone off, lock it and such but nothing brings open the power menu button with screenshot, recovery mode, airplane mode and such. Is there anything like that out there? That with a press of the button it would open up my power menu options
try rom manager

Use "Button Savior" from Play Store.
It is just HW buttons on screen including power button. (Like Nexus On-Screen Keys)
And it has long press power menu also, which shows Screenshot, Airplane, Silent etc.
P.S.
[Free advice]
If you get that button repaired, use something like Proximity Sensor based app which locks and unlocks phone screen. So power button will be used less.
(I know this consumes a bit more battery, but still battery is lot cheap and easy to change than power button)

Press Thanks if helped.

I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
