IDEA TO SOLVE REC AND CAMERA BOTTON

i browes the registry of the wm2k5 in XDA2 O2, i figured out that that there is no registry for the camera and record button,. can we add up reg for camera and rec button
so can we? can we?
those key's registry are there.
hklm\software\microsoft\shell\keys
and those shortcuts are pointing to RAI assignments.
it would be better to write an application, which will unmap rec and cam buttons from system and remap them to itself... so if you press that button, this app will capture keypress event and will run camera or notes...

uhmm,. just a hitch anyway,. hehe
dats TOTALLY okih .. BUDDZ ..
every solution start also with a simple "HITCH" .. :wink:

Hi,
So have you tried with RegisterHotkey API? Here is a simple application that reregisters all hardware buttons to its window, and if you press hardware buttons a messagebox should pop up with hardware key id. Anybody can try it with non working buttons? ( I haven't upgraded my device yet ) I tried it on my wm2k3SE device and with Win Mobile 5 emulator in Viusal Studio 2005. ( It worked )
If it's working then I think it is possible to write an application as background process to start camera and notes application with windows API. If it's not working and doesn't show anything if you press CAM/REC, then it must be a driver issue (
I would like to thanks buzz for hiz extremely good work!!
I am sad now because of this ms guy
I tray this file and buttons rec and cam don't working, other buttons working
Why dont you guys use this freeware.

It works great on my Himalaya with WM5 1.60a installed. But even without this sw my Himalaya dont have any problem with the Record and camera buttons. Try it.
I use this basically to:
- Unmap all the buttons including the Green and Red Button, and the Volume slider.
- Remap the Volume Slider to Up and Down keys.
- Remap the Green and Red Buttons as Left and Right Softkeys. This way you can access WM5 apps soft menu using only the buttons and the biderectional pad.
- Any other key you can map to anything you want.
because some device have problem with this two buttons and with or without this software they still dont work

[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 .

[Q] Remap power key to launch CRT shutdown app

Need help remapping power key. Someone made awesome app called screen off & lock that does crt shutdown. It would be epic if we could remap power key to launch app.
whoa awesome i just downloaded it. the power button remapping would be awesome, but the long press search button isn't half bad. that's what i'm doing now.

I use voice search all the time. I would think the coding couldn't be to hard but I don't know where to look. It would be awesome if anybody could get this to work.
yeah i'm sure a lot of people use the search button, for some reason i never really need it.
with the camera hack that allows photos to be taken with the power button, and while watching videos, the power button locks the screen while keeping it on, so i know there's gotta be a way to get it to launch this activity. i just don't have any experience with this kind of stuff.
edit -
saw an app called galaxy tuner that apparently remaps buttons, but i am unable to mess with my phone while at work. give it a shot maybe?

menu button as camera button

I apologize if this has been brought up
but would it be possible to use the menu or volume buttons as a camera button?
+1. any option that doesn't involve rooting the phone?
Use HyperX's Modded camera. It will provide you with better quality and many other additional features along with the ability to use Volume buttons to shoot photos.
Have a look at his HOMEPAGE
There is no way to do this without root.
I strongly think that Samsung should add dedicated camera key.

Broke Capacitive Buttons Changing Glass. Looking For Software Solution

Hi Guys
I broke the capacitive buttons on my S3. Looking for the best software solution. Ideally a button remapper where I can assign the back button to the power button for back.Long press for power. Or even use the middle button long and short presses etc.
Many Thanks

You'll need root to remap I would expect.
You could also enable the NavBar:

A simpler solution could be lmt launcher...which needs root access...or pie control from the play store...both apps use on screen buttons rather than capacitive
navbar is the best solution
Thanks Guys, Was really hopping for a button remap option but thanks any way. Il try those options.
Cheers
