Ive been searching for this for a while, i would like to be able to use the volume up button for my shutter in the default camera app. I saw some threads about this but either it wasnt compatible with my phone or it didn't work. Does anyone know of a mod that will do this for the AT&T S2? Thanks
To my knowledge they are working on it for our phone; however, this is a question and should be placed in the Q&A section in the future.

It's easy, but I'm not sure if I like it. I like using the volume buttons to zoom in and out. I was able to make long pressing the power button take pictures, but it also pops up the extended power menu lol. Hopefully I can figure out how to get a short power button press to take pictures instead of turning off the screen. It's a lot trickier on this phone than it was on the original galaxy s and infuse.

Looking forward to you getting the power button mod to work. That's definitely a feature I've been waiting for.

im excited! i hope you can get it to work! would you add to the unnamed?
ayoteddy can you bump this to the QandA
I've been using the volume up mod that I found from the i9100 forums for about a week. Used it quite a bit on my visit to Alcatraz over the weekend. It has tap to take direct picture or hold to focus and release to take a picture.The digital zoom is useless to me as all it does is just blow up a cropped imaged anyways. I'll attach it in case anyone wants to try (and as always, back up the old Camera.apk). Just push/copy to system/app

Yeah, was more worried about zooming with the volume buttons while recording 720p video. It would be a pain to record everything in 1080 and then run it through video editing software to do the zooming.
Guess I could do the volume button hack for photos only and leave it as zoom control for video recording.

I didn't think about the video recording part. BUT! I just gave it whirl and surprisingly enough, the volume keys don't start the recording and still function as zoom buttons. So it looks like the video recording part is untouched.

Awesome mod. I've been missing a physical camera button for awhile now! Pretty awesome thus far, however, I always get a force close on the camera app after I restart my phone. Anyone else encounter this and or find a solution other than reinstalling the app to make it work?
Thanks!

Same thing was happening to me but I fixed it! In root explorer go to system/app/camera.odex and rename the camera.odex to camera.odex.Bak
then reboot and it should be GTG!!!
Forgot: May have to reinstall the modded camera.apk after too as well.

I've got the zip file downloaded but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Stock is running real well for me and really haven't seen a feature that is a must have in a custom rom yet. Shoot, with Entropy's DD and stock rom, my phone is still blazing. Just to test things out, I've gotten a 5034 on quadrant so things are working awesome.
If this were my X10, I would be a flash whore because that thing needs optimization just like a crack head needs his next hit.

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.

I have searched xda and Google but haven't found an answer. Does anyone know how to disable or remove screen capture? I tried freezing screen capture.apk in TB but that didn't help. I'm really tired of my pocket taking screen shots of my lock screen whenever I get a text. :-/

Uh, you could flash an aosp Rom...they don't have swipe screen shot feature, which is what iimagine is happening right?
On aosp it's volume down and power only, no swipe, or s-pen shot at all.
Not sure how to remove it though
Yeah that's what's happening. It didn't start doing that until I flashed the last ics leak and now it's doing it on the official release. It only does it if I'm walking around with my phone in my pocket and I get a text and only about 75% of the time then. I would use an aosp rom but I like having the spen functionality.

Do you want screenshots completely disabled or just the swipe screenshot disabled?
Completely disabled is much easier, as I just did a quick test and completely disabled screenshots.
What ROM are you using?
EDIT: Spoke too soon. I'm partially there...it doesn't take screenshots anymore, but it crashes SystemUI when you try to. I'll keep looking into it.
Since it happens on screen wake with texts, why not use SMS pop up from the market and disable notifications in the native messaging app. At least it won't wake in your pocket.
Honestly either way is fine with me, I don't ever take screen shots so I really wouldn't miss the feature.
I'm on the official att ics stock rom rooted and cwm.

Proving a little more difficult than expected. I'm still working on it, but won't be able to do any more on it tonight probably.
I appreciate the effort. I tried a couple of things that I thought might work but none did.

I've been digging around in SystemUI and can disable just the swipe screenshot, but it crashes SystemUI most of the time.
This may be a dumb question but did you freeze or remove screen capture.apk when you were trying that?

Not a dumb question at all. Freezing the screen capture apk doesn't stop the screen shot from being taken, which is a little bizarre.
I should get some more time to work on this tomorrow. Might take someone better than me though.
Yeah I thought it was weird that freezing it didn't do anything. I was thinking maybe that apk is what is causing the crashes when fooling with the system UI.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
I worked on this some more today and its still crashing when I try to prevent the screenshot from being taken. I think another way would be to stop the phone from using the palm sweep gesture. That might be easier to figure out and I think is in framework.
That would work too. :thumbup:

Is there a flashlight app that I can run in the background and use the video camera at the same time? I want to record videos at night and can't find a torch that does this
i dont have an answer for your question, but i can tell you that creating so many threads is only going to annoy people.
Best of luck searching for your app
Regards
Jack
"Tiny flashlight + LED" did do this when I had my Dell streak and recorded a few videos with not much light. I've not tested it on the S3 and I have a low battery so can't now. Just turn it on and press your home button to leave it lit up and then try the camcorder.

Just use the stock camera app, set it to video and then set flash to on. When you press record, the flash comes on and stays on until you press stop. Same feature was on the SGS2 and gingerbread.
