as you maybe allready know you can press powerbutton and then press Camera button without unlocking to start Cam.
to make this a bit faster you can tweak
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl
and add WAKE_DROPPED behind
Code:
key 528 FOCUS
that it looks like
Code:
key 528 FOCUS WAKE_DROPPED
after a reboot you can start the CAM with press on focus/cam button and Cam starts withing a second
have fun
inteks
Nice one ! I will try and report the results

This is good But it does not work when you use other lock type(pattern, face unlock and etc.) than slide.
It doesn't have the quickness of the Xperia S, but it's a nice mod.

Nice working great
Hello. Great news. But I have several problems with editing.
Home button stop working after I added this code. Maybe I miss with spaces.
Can you post, or PM to me you file pm8058-keypad.kl ?
Thank you.
Already find-out a solution. Correct code is:
Code:
key 528 FOCUS WAKE_DROPPED
Only one space between words
Why would one need this? My camera is ready in about 1,2 seconds from the lockscreen (isn't that faster than the Xperia S?), without this tweak. (That's seconds faster than on GB)
Still I hope other people will have benefit from this.
help please
made, as it is written, but by pressing the camera button the screen only wakes up, but the camera isn't started

Do you have slide to unlocl enable?

Is it possible to mod the power button to make it act as a shutter button when inside the camera application ?

I would also like this, it would just give my left hand something to do rather than getting in the way of the camera sometimes.
Also a hard ware button would feel so much more natural when aiming and shooting.
Its been done before cause look here for another device:

Someone just needs to mod the camera.apk from the galaxy s2 I think. pulser has done some mods on it, maybe he can do this.
Not quite what you were asking, but Vignette allows you to use the volume keys as a shutter button.
Yeah the thing is the volume keys are set to zoom, and the power button isn't really doing anything in the camera app, so power button is better. Plus its on the top.
Once devs have bought SGS2 then expect work on stuff like this .
Speed the process up donate SGS to dev .

Hello,
I'd like to have this too
Power button for shooting
This would help me out alot cuz I shake a bit!
This sounds like a great idea. Sometimes you can't hit the button. THis would go part way to taking the sting out of not having the slick Sense 3.0 lock screen to launch the camera.

Well,for me taking photos with the home button(big as it is) would suffice too!
Yes!!! I didn't think of the home button. Great idea! In WebOS that'd be a patch.
I am working on this, i have allready decompiled camera.apk but camcorder.smali seems totally different. Mayabe the original developer can help us with that.

The zoom is just digital zoom and you end up cropping the edges and getting a soft image anyway. Also, you can just flip the camera and then the volume button is on top. The camera app rotates to follow your orientation.
Home- or Power-Button!
Both solutions are greatly appreciated!

maan this is wonderful, is there a big difference in quality between a 16khz sample and a 44khz?
Wondering if someone can help, on my Xperia s when I am in my home screen or any other app and I press and hold the camera button it will launch the camera app.
But on my girlfriends Xperia s this doesn't work. (launching camera in lock screen still works)
Does anyone know where the settings for this is?
Thanks

Try launching the camera app, then click on Settings -> Quick launch

Tried that, but that seems to be the settings for launching from the lock screen.
Maybe due her launcher? It isn't a different configuration on the launcher?

I may not know the answer, but it's worth trying to re-flash the unit without wiping your user data.
The same thing for me! Quick shot works good.... but many times when i press the camera button with unlocked phone or in menu....the apllication doesn't start.....i must re-press 3/4 times.

This seems to be the issue I am having, pressing a few times eventually loads the camera. Have tried reflashing, and makes no difference.
One thing I have found was that in the service menu and software info it says no file found for memory card. And touch firmware version as 6, while my working Xperia s says 7
On my Xperia S i have file for memory card (in the service menu) and touch firmware version 7 also.... but the problem with camera app happens very often!

This looks like a software issue as the camera button works perfectly fine and quick launch for the camera works everytime when in the lock screen.
I have reflashed with different versions of firmware so I guess the memory card and the touch firmware versions are physically different hardware I suppose.
But this is just really bugging me at the moment!
Do you guys hold the button for like one second? Cause the camera starts only when i'm holding it a little.
Just touching the button has no effect in locked mode or on home screen for me.
Hi Guys,
Title says it all. When the Amaze is asleep and I tap either camera button, the phone will wake up to the lock screen, which is really annoying because the case I have makes it very easy to accidentally tap the camera/video camera buttons. Is there anyway to disable this functionality so the phone will only wake up when the power button is pressed?
I still want to maintain the long-perss to camera functinoality of the buttons, of course.
Thanks everyone!

There is no way to change it if you are not rooted. If you have rooted your phone or have any custom rom use Root Explorer to do the following:
Go to system/usr/keylayout folder
Mount it as R/W
Open ruby-keypad.kl file in text editor.
Change the following 2 lines and delete the WAKE.
Code:
key 248 CAMCORDER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA WAKE
Save the file and reboot.
Awesome, thanks for the info. Cheers
Hi i have a similar, but different question - how do I make it so that long-pressing camera button, will launch Camera App, even if phone is locked with pattern / password??
I bought Amaze because of camera, and I often need to take a picture quick and unlocking the phone each time is a pain in the @SS ... especially if I need to take a pick once every minute
Thanks

Take off the lock, if they made it capable of doing that then basically anyone could steal your phone and get off with your info since there is no lock what so ever.

@ Dark Nightmare
You are wrong about disabling lock and everyone being able to steal ur info. And no - I will not disable lock - I have too much precious info on my phone.
1) this works perfectly on Energy Rom (only Energy Rom is buggy).
2) I did as instructed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28194573&postcount=8
And it works - Camera key launches Camera APP ... and if I try to get into the phone - it shows lock screen / pattern - does not unlock the phone!
^ also works on PB/SpeedRom6
Anyone else having this issue? After the upgrade to ICS (Android Revolution 2.2), the dedicated camera shutter button will turn the phone's screen on to the lock screen, but not launch directly into the camera.
Not sure if this is an ICS thing, or an ARHD thing...
Thanks,
Massiv.

Would love to .... this 10 post thing is a lesson in pure frustration for me since I've had a Hero, Desire, Desire HD, and an Amaze, all of them rooted and upgraded with various ROMs, as well as having beta tested Mike's ARHD 2.1 for him [nuking my internal SD in the process].... yet I still don't have 10 posts and thus am prevented from posting a list of potential issues where it matters.
Writing this helped though!!
Massiv.
i also noticed this.
the camera button for me sometimes goes to lock screen, and if i press it again or hold it long enough it would eventually get to the camera.
the positive thing that happened after ICS upgrade is that if you have a lock screen password, it goes to camera without asking for the password, whereas in GB it always asked for the password before opening camera app, making it impossible to take fast shots.
lets hope either tmobile or the devs will work on this
Please keep all question based threads in the Q&A section. Thanks.

You don't have to be a farmer to know what sh*t smells like.
I have same problem in ARHD 3.0 - it works on Energy rom, but that rom is unstable (for me) ...
So - how do we get camera button to launch camera app when phone is locked? I really need this feature to work - please help if you know solution.
Thanks
same problem here as well
I made a quick fix. You'll need to mount your system directory as writable first, then browse to /system/usr/keylayout folder.
Then open Generic.kl file with a text editor and scroll down to key 212 (or the one that says CAMERA) and tab it (or space it) a couple of times and then add "WAKE" without quotes.
Like this:
Code:
# key 211 "KEY_HP"
[COLOR="Red"]key 212 CAMERA WAKE[/COLOR]
key 213 MUSIC
Save the file
After that, open ruby-keypad.kl file and scroll down to key 211 (or FOCUS) and tab it (or space it) a couple of times and then add "WAKE_DROPPED" without quotes.
Like this:
Code:
# CAMERA
[COLOR="red"]key 211 FOCUS WAKE_DROPPED[/COLOR]
key 212 CAMERA WAKE
Save the file again
When you're done, reboot the phone and test it out.
Note: This will make your shutter button launch straight into camera, but it makes it more sensitive. Half of a press of the shutter button will wake it up. So if you have a case or something that frequently presses the shutter button, it's recommended that you do not do this. If you don't like the changes, just undo the instructions.
My Physical Camera Button doesn't have a function...
I just don't really know if theres a malfunction on the physical button my sola or I just didn't know how to press it??? Double Press? Single Fast Press? It only just flicker my flash and refocusing my shots but doesn't captured anything at all....
I'm still within on my warranty stage... if I'm planning to replace it with another 2012 xperia what would be the best option.
Thanks for enlighten me

Has the problem existed from the beginning?
Try this:
Open camera. Push menu, go to second menu screen and push "Capturing method". If "Camera key only" is not selected, select it. Try the physical button now.
If it didnt work try pushing the button half way. After it has focused the image push the button all the way down.
If all this didnt help try "Factory reset" option in the settings. If that also does not help go to warranty.
Let me know how it goes.
Yup i've already experience it since the day I purchase it, Hence i'ts my first time to held an xperia phone...
Just I thought I only needed more time, exploring it...and yes i've already seen the three button options...still nothing happen....
And last i've tried the factory reset...
Still no hope at all...
Further more it become too slow now, my wifi didnt have stronger grip it always get disconnected
So i'm I think im decided now to replace it now...
But can I ask one thing among the xperia family 2012 - high end range in terms of specs... i know xperia sola is mid-range phone with extra ordinary features, cheap, a promise of an ICS update OTA.
How about xperia S? Anyone got a bad Xperience with it
I'm really looking with tough specs but suitable and stable for other third party rom.
Thank u for the help

My Physical Camera Button doesn't have a function...
For all those who think their sony xperia sola's physical camera key is not working. Actually there is no manufacturing default. it is double press camera key. The problem is that the key is very hard. On second press you have to press it really hard. there is nothing else.......
hope it'll solve you problem.
It's just really really hard to press it.
I first thought mine was broken too, but it's kind of hard for every sola.
It is a two steps Button, for the second step you have to press it with all your might, it will take a picture.
However, this gets better after a few pictures taken, but it will never be as easy as the xs camera key.
