Volume rocker for zoom function - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I want to start by saying that I searched before I decided to post this question. With that said, is there a mod that would allow the volume rocker to be used for the zoom function with the stock camera? I find it really annoying to have a shutter button and still have to touch the screen to zoom. I had this function on my 3D and really miss it.

Anyone?

That would be killer! Hopefully a dev can cook something up...

+1 for this

This would be a useful mod, +1 to you for asking. I think I'll follow this thread just to see how this turns out

+1 for this option to. I truly miss having it. It seemed easier to zoom in and out more accurately than pinching and prodding the screen. Volume rocker to zoom in and zoom out camera lens for pics and video

Camera volume buttons no longer zoom

So I know on my phone pressing the volume button while in the camera is supposed to make the camera zoom. However all of a sudden today while taking a picture I pressed the button to zoom and the picture was taken. I really liked the zoom being the volume buttons. Did I adjust a setting and not know it or what does anyone have an idea how I did this or how to change it back at least?
* FIGURED THIS OUT! DIDNT REALIZE THE LATEST ROM I FLASHED HAD THIS AS A FUNCTION, NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT LOL*

Do you have resolution set to 8mp? Haven't been stock in a while but doesn't the camera lose this ability after you hit max resolution?

[Q] button remapping

Any way to remap the camera button yet?
I'd like to turn on the flashlight app when the screen is off, on long press of the camera button.
The phone isn't rooted, and I've no interest in rooting it currently.
Any suggestions?
Well I will tell you before you can even think about doing something like this you will definitely need to be rooted at the least. I'm sure it can be done by one of the devs....

You can remap them, not sure if you can remap to an app though..pkmn let's you map home key when lock screen is on to do that

Camera pic

On my original inc you could take pics by long pressing on the area you wanted on focus...I can't seem to do that on the 4g.long pressing will set the focus,but then you must press the shutter button to take a pic.
Any way to change that?
Ps I disabled auto focus because it would just re focus on everything on the screen...
I'm wondering the same thing...

I don't believe there is a way to do that currently, at least not without some mods that would require root.

[Request] - Pre-Flash / focus light Camera Focus for Dark Photos

This is for any ROM's / App developers out there listening
Pre-Flash Camera for a great for the camera to focus on Dark Photos being taken or it would be nice or an option to turn the LED light on while in camera mode. Thanks Jon
When you take a picture in a dark area where hardly any light is exposed and you know it will be out of focus then you press the shutter button, a light appears lighting up the area and the camera then focuses and after that takes the shot.
TAG pre flash, focus light, led light focus
The IPhone has this. Why can't the Amaze have it too since it was compared to the IPhone for taking photos and it coming above the iphone.

Doesn't it already do this? At least it does on the stock ICS rom, i think.
I just turn on the flashlight then go into camera. Works like a charm!

That's what I end up doing. Hassle that you have to quit camera mode if you forgot to turn it on.

You have to turn it on through the pull down menu in quick settings

Oh it must be an ICS rom feature. I'm still on a Gingerbread Rom and don't have the flashlight in the quick settings.

I ain't letting this go.
I hear about this for the Sam. S3 and lacking for HTC EVO also
CM10 Fixed this?
Can I use a different app that does this?
bumping the message so the word can get out as this phone can get better.
Bring me focus flash for dark picture taking.

HTC Zoe question

Ok maybe I'm missing something, to be honest I'm not a fan of manuals but I can't seem to figure out how HTC Zoe cameras works. I never see an option to enable it or even see the clips it takes. Could somebody please explain to me what I'm obviously missing somewhere? I did root though I don't think that should affect anything. I honestly just think I'm ignorantly missing something

the on-screen camera icon in the camera app activates zoe
Take a pic ,find it, click edit then click retouch .....that's just half of what it can do.
You can remove objects in a picture and much more

On the camera screen, there's an icon on the left side. Click on it and it'll light up blue and the bottom of the screen will say Zoe.
It's a pretty cool feature.
