Use camera zoom fx, you can customize it so that volume buttons can take pics

yes there is an option in the camera settings to do that
but since u have bought ur phone recently u need to see if your Ace is GT s5830 OR some other model like gt s5830i/m/t/c
most( oh wait..... maybe all ) of the custom roms for ace work only for GT S5830

Get CameraZoom FX. You can take pics just by touching anywhere on the screen. Takes the best pics too. Compared it to other camera apps so I'm not just saying it because I like it.
Well i have a mod from devilsking that captures image using home button. But if it is applied the home button doesn't work for other things. I am currently trying to fix it.

hi there, i found a method on the web about taking screenshots.it was saying only works for galaxy s with android 2.2 but i tried it and succeeded on my galaxy ace with villain rom.
as i said, no app or root is needed.
like i said i tried it with villain rom.and it worked as a charm.who have kpe or 2.2 please post if it works or not!
Method :
in the screen you want to take screenshot ( homescreens, menu's, or game screens, etc ) press and hold the back button in the riht corner.while holding it, press menu key once.and a notification will say the screenshot is taken.that is all.
your screenshots will be saved automatically in a folder screenshots.
the most awesome is no need for any app or root!
i cant post the proofs because i havent 8 posts yet
holding right button (touch) and clicking the middle button works for me on both ace and g3...
Screenshots from Ace (2.2.1 not rooted)
i wonder if it is a default android feature or not
if so, why everybody is trying difficult methods or apps?
hmmm.. may be for pic quality... who knows whats cooking in minds of gadget freaks.. ;p

Because not always does the method work, when the app you are taking screenshot of might return back to previous screen while pressing the Back button. Also other screenshot methods let you capture just by shaking the phone, so no key presses required and helps in better timing.

Try Home+Power for 2.3.4
works on stock 2.3.3, great... but one problem though, when we want to capture a certain screen and press the back button to capture, it goes back to the previous screen... I guess its only for capturing homescreens then
Back plus home key, works for me.

Thats cool. Knew you could do it but never realised how. Gods know how many times I've done screenshots by accident. And now I know
Does work on 2.3.4. but gotta be careful it doesn't jump to Homescreen!

Is it possible to make them work on stock like on CM 7.2? I Mean i would like them to light up only when i press them, not like it is now; they light up every time i press the screen.
Well, each one has is point of view, but for me, only ligth up when pressed is rubbish, i like to see them before i press not after.

What version of CM7.2 you use? The rom CM7.2 nightly it is workin perfectly. All the bug's on Oficial CM7.2 cooper corrected.
The light bottom (of touch keys) turn on only you press keys.
Sorry for my english.

When I have the phone in standby the lights turn on constantly. I would like to know how to disable that.
I'm using CM-7.2.0-RC1-cooper
Thanks
I can't find a thread for this for the S3, how do I disable the damn camera shutter noise?
Also - the screenshots, anyone know how to make it how it used to be with the home and power buttons?

Yes there's a thread floating around, I can't remember exactly where it is. But use root explorer and edit the shutter.ogg file iirc

Anyone else?, this little puppy had been out a few weeks now!
Wasn't this made not changeable *atleast within the default app* because of something that happened in Europe. About no spy camera shots or something.. They wanted the noise so you couldn't take hidden pictures. Or something along those lines..
So if thats for Europe chances are they will include the option to disable it in the US varient right?
Screenshot works for me just like the s2 did. Home + power. They need yo be pressed at exactly the same time and held for a second or two.

I've tried /dozens/ of times - it simply doesn't work for me.
To disable the shutter noise you need to delete the audio files, which requires root access.
Is there a way without deleting the files? Just replacing the apk so I can have an option of sound out not sound?
you can use pretty much any of the other hundreds of camera apps in the market. most of them will correspond to the volume setting of your ringtone so if you set the system sound to silent they will have no shutter sound.
my least favourite thing in the whole world is shuttersound, except in burst modes.

thats beacuse in s3 you have to hold both buttons one or two seconds.
you can do it too by dragging the side of your hand through the screen from left to right
The sad part is that because of a few people that deteriate the gene pool, we have to put up with that damnable shutter sound.
Thing is, if we replace the camera with another one on the market, which one would be better - the built in one or the market one? Does the built in camera app make those great shots or the hardware?
Open Root Explorer - Navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Mount R/W
Rename shutter.ogg to shutter.ogg.bak or just delete it.
To undo, just rename it back

To mute camera just mute the phone with your volume buttons.
Screen shot still works with Power and home button just push and hold them for a couple of seconds.

This solution is quite widespread online but many people say it doesn't work for them.
I can confirm it's working for me - 16GB, pebble blue, Vodafone, UK - but it seems different markets can't stop the shutter sound this way.
Is there really no way to disable it without root

glad to know that.... try using the onscreen button for macro camera.... also in some cases my phone doesn't auto-focus... so i just slightly depress the hardware camera button for it to manually focus and then use the onscreen button.....
also make sure your phone is not too CLOSE to the OBJECT you want to FOCUS too
i found a bug...when i press and release camera button, for focusing, four or five times, camera app stops responding, and then i cannot use no more camera, i must restart phone...the video recording quality is poor, very few frames, choppy playback...i hope this bugs will be resolved in future versions of CM

they recommend that you must flash the new kernel....
btw http://www.mediafire.com/?bttx5mfd8qqna62
this has the kernel and gapps and rom in one file you just need to flash via flashtool....
i found it in the fxp125 cm7.2 article
i loose all my apps and settings :-(
i left my phone on charger about 4.5 hrs, and my battery was overheated, 50c, it charged about 70%, it last about two hours...i suppose that CM7 dont stop battery charging like stock Rom, right? I didnt know that, i hope it didnt impact my battery health...
by the way Rohhit thnx for answering all my questions, you was very helpfull, i will try new fxp125...
hey
no no.... it battery wud heat up few times in the start mine did too...
nothing to worry that about.... you can always wipe battery stat's that can help too...
plus it's not on the coding of the rom.... once charged the hardware stops chargin the phone anymore.... and if you r in a silent environment you cud hear a slight noise from the charger....thats it saying NO MORE CHARGING
is there a way not to loose all aplications on every rom flashing? And is there a way to extend battery time, i read on some post that i must change some cpu setting and battery should last longer...
but why then my batery depeated so quickly, less than two hours, on standby ??

first of all on the play store search for battery calibration app.....
do as the app says charge 100% then deplete till 0% then charge till 100% again....
second of all goto settings->cyanogenmod settings->cpu settings->governors->and select interactive->plus select set on boot and
interactive is the best governor out there gives max battery with max cpu efficiency....
as for losing all the apps... download titanium pro i would suggest download the full version from some torrent site....
plus in fxp rom's there is an option of modifying the settings of the apps.. like can they access the internet or not... can they access the messages or not....
its in cyanogenmod settings application.... permission management....
select it and then ban the apps that support ADs.....
VOILA

Lockscreen issue
Whenever I unlock my phone, I press the power button and the screen will flash for a second as if it was unlocked, then it will go to the lockscreen. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the same happens when I press the home button to unlock the phone.
Has anyone experienced that and / or would know how to fix it?
