hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has found the camera to be annoying because you have to be literally holding the camera in front of you to take pictures because theres no dedicated camera button on the phone. i was wondering if its possible or if someone has already created some mod to where they can use lets say the volume up or down button to take the picture. i'd rather sacrifice the zooming feature with the volume rockers because i can zoom in and out right on the screen before i take the picture. thanks to anyone who has any information on this.
Bump?

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..
Is there any way that I can take photos by pressing volume button and not screen one?
SEARCH camera hack /camera mod .

vignette app lets you do this too.
Any way to make camera shutter a long press of a button? Or even the power button or volume button as long as we are in the camera app? I came from an evo 3d and then a photon both have an actual camera button and I miss it.

Is there any way to set one of the physical keys as the camera button?

I don't understand why you would want to replace one of the physical buttons... You do KNOW we ONLY have volume buttons, home button and a power button? Right?...

Sounds like you're having a bit of "diarius" of the brain! now that's smart!
Seriously not sure you would want to do that but the menu button held down will get you to Google now so if it were possible I would start there.

The VGA camera in the front isn't very clear; gotta turn the phone around to take a good pic. Voice command doesn't work well outside. I was thinking of something like holding the power button while the camera app was open would = snap a pic instead of shutting the screen? :highfive:
Camera Zoom FX is a camera app. You can configure the volume up/down buttons as a shutter. There is also an app on the Play Store called Volshutter Camera, which allows you to configure the volume keys to activate the shutter.

Hello mensrius,
This is quite amazing, I am already using this feature with my p765 factory JB rom v20a. Pressing volume button (no matter up or down), while having stock camera app open, phone sets focus and snap a picture . May be you haven't tried it or this feature is missing in p769
