[Q] Possible to change what happens when i press the camera button?

I never use the camera button on my streak so I want to change it so it would be useful to me (maybe locking auto rotate or assigning a task killer program to it for instant memory). Any have any ideas on how to do this and/or do you want to change the action of your camera button?
You can use buttonremapper to reassign the camera key (but it will no longer be a camera key, even if you are using the camera app or something like vignette). You need root for this- I have it as media pause/play

you can use 2 apps to make use of both the keys
1. Button remapper
2. then launch key
I use 'tasker' , it have camera button clicked event .

HD2 Volume bottom broken.. Alternative ?

Hi everyone
I just changed the screen of my hd2 but when I put the cover the volume button doesn't work.. I can push it with a sharp object (screwdriver, toothpick) so in fact it's not broken but it's a bit boring tu up and down the volume..
I'm on android (ICS) and I want to know if there are any alternative "tweaks" to replace the "real" button ? Like on iPhone when your home button is broken you can download a tweak via cydia..
If someone can help me, it will be great
Thaaanks !
PS : Sorry for my english..
no one know ?
There are widgets and apps that you can use to change volume within Android, but if your device uses the volume buttons for CWM then you'll need the physical buttons working.
Well you should be able to go to your settings and volume options and adjust it that way, alternatively clicking on the clock on the bottom right corner should bring up a menu that volume is normally located.
@spunker88 Yes for cwm I use the physical buttons.. What's the names of the apps and widgets ?
@Bernie Nolan Thanks dude
But the main problem is when I'm doing a phone call I can't up/down the volume..
I use Volume widget, you can select which volume you want to adjust (music, ringer, etc) or have a widget with multiple volume toggles. Its pretty nice and free. During a call you would have to go back to the home screen to change volume.

Thank you I just downloaded an app on the market

Remap Xperia S/Acro S Camera Button

Is it possible? And if so, how?
Many Thanks In Advance

[MOD][ZIP]Joycons but with Home button and capture button programable

What's up people, I bring you a zip for some, the best thing is that I usually use Xbox Game Pass and PS Play remote and there is no Xbox Guide function or simply PS button, what I did is remap Home button and Capture button in case you want to use it like me.
To add the Home function as before I advise you Button Mapper Add the link, this way you have Button mode (Normal button, Double tap> example Home button> Long press > Turn off screen) Also with the capture Capture button (Normal button> Double tap Screenshot> Long Press> Play / pause music (?))

hi... thanks for your explanation, but can you go into a little more detail please?
Also, can you create the same zip file but with the A/B, X/Y buttons reversed, so that they mimic the xbox layout?
Thanks

I don't have the hori controller, but I guess it wouldn't be the same. even so. if you are affected with the d-pad it is probably a problem of S.O. or controller keymap.
Hi @Chiveta,
I installed the March 2022 OTA update and now the capture button of my Hori Split Pad Pro doesn't work properly. I can't program it anymore. All the other buttons work without any problems. I haven't tested it yet with other joy cons because I'm on holiday and I don't have them with me.
Can you please have a look and maybe update your script?
Thank you very much!
Update:
I edited the mapping files (changed the capture button to Z, C and 4) but it doesn't work.
I use a gamepad test app and it seems that the capture button is recognized longer than the other buttons, like it's kind of stuck.
Update 2:
I saw in the changelog that there's a new function to turn off RSMouse with the screenshot button. I think that's why I can't remap the button anymore.
The original zip file from Chiveta does not work anymore, but we can modify the Xbox Joycon Layout Zip file from "[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] switchroot Android 10". Just modify
\vendor\usr\keylayout\Vendor_057e_Product_2008.kl
and
\vendor\usr\keylayout\Vendor_057e_Product_2009_Version_8001.kl
to whatever key you want, and repack the zip file, and flash it in TWRP.
You can find all keys that Android supports from the official Android website:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent
For example, I figured out "KEYCODE_BUTTON_MODE" will trigger Xbox Guide Button Long Press (pop up the screen to turn OFF the Xbox). So if you would like to map the screenshot button for this, just changed this line "key 309 MEDIA_PAUSE" to "key 309 BUTTON_MODE"
Remember, you do not need the "KEYCODE_" portion shown in the official Android website.
Or you can just use my zip file.
I have not figured out which button will trigger Xbox Guide Button Short Press (pop up user screen). If anyone figures it out, please let me know. Thanks.
