Here's a small .zip file that will remap your search button to open Camera.apk
Flash the .zip in recovery. There is also a .zip to revert to stock as well. Enjoy!
Sweet, thanks. That's gonna make life a lot easier!
From a rooted I-500 with XDA
Works perfectly
Its working most of the time but sometimes the camera comes up but its just a black screen and sometimes it says Camera failed. All in all it works most of the time. Nice work!
great find thatdudebutch! I see that the concept behind it is pretty flexible, have you tried running any other programs with the softkeys?

Yeah I just tried it about twenty times in a row and no blank screen. Wonder what the deal is? Camera in fact opens quicker remapped to search IMO.

I get the camera failed error/black screen about every other time I start hit search, kind of causes a momentary phone freeze. Thanks for your work on this though, its an awesome idea.

its weird man, ive been pressing it all day and it loads every time, sorry maybe if you got a second some time you can connect phone to adb and run a logcat while hitting the button so we can see what the problem is

My app drawer button is non-functional ish. The app drawer button doesn't always select in the green tone to show it's been activated. I know the screen recognizes it's being pressed because the full-screen weather animations stop once I press the screen but the rosie button doesn't... go. I tried resetting HTC Sense, no go. I don't know what's wrong.
Anyone else got this issue?

I've never had that happen. Are you using the stock HTC skin, or are you using one of the themed skins? Just curious on that. If you're not using the stock one, perhaps try switching back to the stock skin? A battery pull maybe? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for you.

Well you can try rebooting the phone and removing the battery for a few seconds, but I'm going to assume you have done that already.
Second would probably be a hard reset, which I guarantee to fix your problem since it seems to be some sort of software hiccup.

EDIT : Get a drawing app and see if you can draw in the bottom left corner. If you can't, then you have a problem with the digitizer not registering in that area.

Okay I will try the drawing app, and yeah I've pulled the battery to no avail. I'll try the app, then just see if it works itself out.
EDIT: Drawing app worked fine, it's a Rosie issue. Hmm.

I don't believe that's possible without full root. It is definitely possible to remap the rosie buttons, but I don't think we can until we get S-off. (could be wrong, because there's a ton of talented devs here, but I dont think so)
Someone (literally just forgot who) is trying to repackage all of Rosie itself so it can be installed as an apk with a ton of mods, but again, I can't remember who.
Oh also, the button is now fully functional. Just kind of started working randomly, but oh well! That works for me.
Title says it, I don't have that option to turn it off. Is it just me?
I think the update removed it..
I've also had more freezeups after the update, along with unresponsive touch screen until you lock and unlock. Anyone else have an increase in these issues?

i haven't loaded the update yet. on mine, withouth the latest 2.08 update, i have an option in the camera settings under geotag, etc, which says shutter sound with a check box. this is disappears after the latest OTA to 2.08?
are you able to adjust the volume down with the external volume rocker and see if that prevents the shutter? although its a lame work around, ihope it helps as its better than nothing ..
i personally dislike the shutter sound and its kinda lame/fake and not really needed so i'm glad they have provide the option to shut this off in the past...thanks for the heads up on this!
correct no more option to turn off sounds
with all sounds disabled/muted it still makes noise
the volume rocker is zoom in the camera app (for those that didn't know)
There has been a bill in Congress introduced in 2009 to require cell phone cameras to "click". Its called the Cell Phone Camera Preditory Alert Act. So far, it hasn't had much traction. Maybe HTC knows something we don't?
crappy fix, grab the old camera, put it in place of the new one, change permissions and reboot
Set up with no sound, then copy the new cam app back, fix permissions, reboot and voila.
POOR method. Restore from titanium might also work, haven't tested that.
make a profile with "Tasker".
when camera app is active, all sounds are disabled.
thats what i do with my legend, using CM7...
but on my evo i can disable the shutter sound!?
Also, looks like it removed mirror app that was tied with the camera app.
do u removed mirror app?
i have it already installed, and turned shutter sound off.

shortcut to the "good" method above would be somebody with the shutter sound turned off can post their preference file and ppl can download/copy that into their camera app directory ...

Shutter Sound App Fix!!
Hey all...I've spent the last 2 days looking for anything to get rid of the shutter sound, or at the least, enable us to turn it off WITHOUT having to root my phone and void the warranty. The ONLY fix that I found, was to download this Silent Snap app at this link: m.androidzoom.com/.../silentsnap-camera_gfij.html After I downloaded it, it took care of that annoying shutter sound, and even better, the app is FREE to download!!! I hope this helps!
Silent Snap
Just letting you all know, that you don't have to use the app every time to make the Shutter Silent...
Just open the app once to turn the Shutter off...but please notice it also puts your phone on silent as well...But once you've opened the app, and exited out of it, you can now use your Volume Down Button to put your phone on Silent, and it will also turn the Camera Shutter off!
I recommend not staying within the Silent Snap App, because after taking about 3 or 4 pictures, it brings up ads, so just be sure to use your regular camera when taking pics to resolve this issue.

Ive been searching for this for a while, i would like to be able to use the volume up button for my shutter in the default camera app. I saw some threads about this but either it wasnt compatible with my phone or it didn't work. Does anyone know of a mod that will do this for the AT&T S2? Thanks
To my knowledge they are working on it for our phone; however, this is a question and should be placed in the Q&A section in the future.

It's easy, but I'm not sure if I like it. I like using the volume buttons to zoom in and out. I was able to make long pressing the power button take pictures, but it also pops up the extended power menu lol. Hopefully I can figure out how to get a short power button press to take pictures instead of turning off the screen. It's a lot trickier on this phone than it was on the original galaxy s and infuse.

I've been using the volume up mod that I found from the i9100 forums for about a week. Used it quite a bit on my visit to Alcatraz over the weekend. It has tap to take direct picture or hold to focus and release to take a picture.The digital zoom is useless to me as all it does is just blow up a cropped imaged anyways. I'll attach it in case anyone wants to try (and as always, back up the old Camera.apk). Just push/copy to system/app

Yeah, was more worried about zooming with the volume buttons while recording 720p video. It would be a pain to record everything in 1080 and then run it through video editing software to do the zooming.
Guess I could do the volume button hack for photos only and leave it as zoom control for video recording.

I didn't think about the video recording part. BUT! I just gave it whirl and surprisingly enough, the volume keys don't start the recording and still function as zoom buttons. So it looks like the video recording part is untouched.

then reboot and it should be GTG!!!

I've got the zip file downloaded but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Stock is running real well for me and really haven't seen a feature that is a must have in a custom rom yet. Shoot, with Entropy's DD and stock rom, my phone is still blazing. Just to test things out, I've gotten a 5034 on quadrant so things are working awesome.
If this were my X10, I would be a flash whore because that thing needs optimization just like a crack head needs his next hit.

Loving my EVO LTE so far. Quick question on the camera button. I need to press my button very hard to get it to snap a picture. Is anyone else having this issue? Just wondering if it is a defect or if they are all like this. Thanks.
its a 2-button button. a 'soft press' (to the first resistance point) triggers focus, a 'hard press' (all the way down, past the first resistance point) takes the pic. its by design.
a 'long press' (holding down the camera button for 3 sec) will bring up the camera app if you are doing anything else, and a 'long press' while in the camera app will rapid-fire capture pics as long as you are holding it down.
Does everyone's camera make noise when snapping photos? I have no noise, and I have trouble knowing if my camera is rapid-firing or not.

Yours may be like mine, in that it seems like the button is not installed correctly. Mine has a distinguishable first stage, but I sort of need to mash it in to get to the second stage. I thought it was odd, but I knew it wasn't right when I tried out my wife's EVO LTE and hers has 2 clear, distinct stages, with no mashing in needed.
Mine is having rebooting issues anyway, so I'm hoping that my next EVO has the correct camera button press too.

nope. probably hidden. htc seems to have forgotten why Android better than iPhone and trying to dumb ics down to ios levels. options, apps,a ton of stuff is hidden or removed from this phone. try minimalistic text and look for camera settings or basic interface. I'll check around when home later
Isn't Minimalistic Text a clock widget app? I don't understand how this relates to the camera setting. What am I missing?

no, it lets you make shortcuts and icons and widgets for anything possible on your phone. can see if it has any hidden camera settings menu built in anywhere
sorry, no camera settings. I did find a mirror app hidden though. I'll start a new thread about it
