Changing Track/Song

Hi,
I'm fairly new here but I have done a reasonable amount of searching (imo) and have yet to find a result to effectively change songs while listening to music without having to take phone out of pocket (bluetooth devices, and shake2playnext excluded).
I found an app called 'Next Song' which interprets double-presses on the volume - this would be nice, only I haven't been able to make it work successfully (next song popup notification appears but track does not change)
At one point, I used button remapper to remap my camera button to media_next. (was using camera360 at this point with camera button). After the GB update and recent threads, I have wanted to use the SE camera more. Unfortunately, the camera button does not work in SE's camera button without the focus button (must press focus before camera button, then picture will be taken).
If anyone's got a solution let me know please
(remap longpress/volume, double press volume rockers? or take picture without focus button on SE camera?)

[Q] Camera Button

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..

Uisng power button/volume rocker for camera shutter

Hi,
Is there a tweak or a camera app which makes the power button as the camera shutter? The volume rocker on the stock camera pp lets you zoom..but can it be changed to take pictures? i hate touching the screen to take pictures.
thanks
I'd love this too. I'm kind of surprised this gigantic phone doesn't have a seperate camera button.
+1 to all . . . would love this.
+1.... Would love a hard-button shutter!
I use a camera app replacement called CameraFX that allows you to choose the volume or power buttons to take photos. It was on sale for $2.99 over the weekend and is a pretty good replacement for the stock camera.
vignette is a pretty nice one lots of features like silent camera and volume button for shutter
Camera apk can be hacked to do this give it time it will come

Where is Focus button?

I only found camera and 2d/3d switch button, where is focus button
The round button below the 2 & 3d switch buttons
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )

Hold camera button down half-way...
Hint: it's not the power button or the volume buttons... Hmm, what other buttons are left?

the round button under the 2d-3d switch. when you hold phone horrizontally the button is in the same place as a camera. its a "double" button. push it to first stop and it focuses, puch it all the way and it takes the pic.
also, most camera software allows you to tap on the screen and it will adjust focus in that area.

Changing volume button while taking video

Is there anyway to change the volume up and down button to zoom in and out rather than take a photo while in video mode? I don't like zooming in with my fingers in the screen while taking a video and would rather use the volume buttons
