Hi all,
I've been looking around here and there for something like this for the past few months and still haven't found anything relevant about it.
The idea would be to use the power button as the camera button while the native camera app is launched to take snapshots on Jelly Bean official but rooted stock firmware.
Found a thread but sadly has been discontinued for some reason, here's the link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787709&nocache=1
So Anyways, was just wondering if a kind soul would either know how to code this or figure out if there's anything out there remotely close to what I'm asking for. Also, note that the "button switcher" app doesn't seem to work for that purpose, already gave it a go...
Thanks for your time and hope u guys had a good Xmas and will have an even better NYE.
up'
anybody ? Am actually quite surprised that no one is currently looking into this.
I know the feature is available on different Roms but would be ace if one could have it on sammy's stock Rom.
Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to wait & see.

Hi guys,
I still possible to make SGS2 unlock the phone as soon as i enter the right pin code on lock screen, without having to press the OK button down the bottom?
Doubt it, asthe ability to lock the sim card be too great. Example: you make a mistake on the last digit. 2 attempts left. You have taken a couple of beers. Ops. Sim Locked
Has anyone found a solution to this??
I've been customizing my phone every day for who knows how long, little by little to get it just how i like it, and this 'OK' button is annoying. VERY annoying. Though, I need a PIN on my phone, and 99.99%of the apps on the market have horrible horrible designs. No offence, but I'd rather stay with the android look. All of the thread's I've found have either told someone to use a third-party app, or use CM10. Well, someone who has almost all of their information on their phone can't afford to install this, seeing as it wipes your entire phone, and for a PIN, that's unnecessary. I don't know what roms are, same with roms. I like the way the touchwiz UI looks on my E4GT(I have fk09 leak installed, recently got this phone, and barely had anything on it). I like the way JB looks with touchwiz way more than it did on ICS(looked horrid).
TL;DR
If someone can find a fix to this, without any third party launchers, or horrible-looking apps, that would be great. If you give a rom, explain how to install it. Thanks in advance.
The rom SlimBean has this feature which I use. It can be found in the lock screen settings.

I'm going to preempt the inevitable question that's going to come following Drexciya's excellent suggestion to use Slim if you want this feature (tick quick unlock in settings/interface/lock screen/screen security).
How do you install it ? Read the first page of the Slim thread in Development. Easy.

Thanks for an answer, but AFAIK, FK09 has no recovery mod, which i didn't realize, and unless someone kniws of one that supports the build,pr whatever, I can't load any mods.. Also, links to specefic topics help a lot..
And you're unable to go to the Development section & look for the Slim Bean thread like everyone else here why exactly ? (using the XDA app on your phone & being too lazy don't count as valid answers).
Re: whatever you're running now that has no recovery, looks like you're going to have to flash something else; another rom that has CWRecovery or at the very least temporary CWRecovery (which will disappear after you reboot) if you want to flash Slim. I don't believe there's an Odin version.

No, I'm not being lazy, I simply dont know where to look. Not sure if you could tell, t I'm new here, and I'm not used to this. Did you expect me to just know where EVERYTHING is? I found this thread after wasting my entire evening looking for a solution, and found this thread. I signed up specefically for this purpose. I was trying to ask for a link without looking too unappreciative, but rhatbobvoliously didn't help. And I don't use an xda app, nor do I intend to.

I really don't know how to do this.. Is there a thread for this? I'll just google it.. Thanks anyways.
My point was (is) I don't have a link. If I want to get you a link, I'd go to Development (by navigating the site; not exactly a new fandangled web thingy) & find the thread, come back here & post the link. You're perfectly capable of doing this yourself, yet you expect me to that ?
That speaks volumes about the people who seem to visit here these days. They want everything served up to them on a silver platter with a minimum or no effort on their own part.
Also, from his first post in this thread, he's an Epic 4g Touch user. Any ROM suggestions he gets here are likely to be i9100 ROMs.

And this shows that some people who find themselves comfortable here can't read. I obviously don't know how to get to development, or how to navigate the forums. I don't inderatand how it takes any more explaination that I DON'T KNOW where to look. Get around looking like a smart allic, and actually take the time to help people around. What are you, 14? You act like it, as everyone is supposed to know everything on a site for developers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I know nothing about these things. I didn't do the rooting, soneone else did, so stop expecting everyone knows as much about this forum, or everything you are, because they don't. As far as I know, I didn't come here to argue with someone I don't even know, who thinks they're an internet genious, I came here for support. A link is the least of your problems if you think I know where it is. If you don't want to, don't do it, that's simple, just don't do it. Just don't reply, and save yourself the embarassment, because you just made the forums seem like ignorant children with conputers, who care more about criticising people than anything.

Aren't they both Galaxy SII's? I would think they did the same, and these roms run the same.. Does that mean that there are no rom for the epic 4g touch? If not, is there a way around this without rom?
Thanks in advance

Clearly you don't know you're in the wrong place anyways.
Yes, they are both Galaxy SII's. They are different, however, since yours (Epic 4g Touch) is a phone designed to work on Sprint's CDMA network. That phone has a separate forum. There are plenty of ROMs for that device in its forum.
The device this forum is for (GT-I9100) is a GSM phone that won't even work on Sprint's network. So no, ROMs for this phone won't work on your phone.

Thank you, for clearing this up
Hi guys, new to the forum and fairly new to android, I've got a galaxy s3 international version locked to the three network in the UK, I've been considering using a custom ROM but wanted to know your opinions?
Criteria for me are simple, I like the look of stock android so I want that or something similar, but I like the functionality of TouchWiz so would like to retain that if possible. The only other thing is the quick settings/toggles on the notification bar in TouchWiz, this is something I now cannot live without so it needs to have that or something similar (tbh i just like the auto rotate, wifi and brightness toggles).
Thanks in advance guys, look forward to your answers.
Chris.
Welcome to the forums. Always check the stickies before you post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935514
the best thing to do is to try different ROMs for yourself. Everyone has their own preference and no 2 rom set ups are exactly the same.

Try Ms team rom....youll love it....lots of customization......
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks for the advice, ill look into some roms and try a few out, another question i have though is whats the difference between the android development forum, and the original development forum?
Also in regards to checking the stickies about asking which rom is best I did not ask that, I simply asked for a recontamination from experianced users to help me find a rom which suited my specification, it wasnt as simple as which rom is the best, it was more of a "which rom can provide these features" kinda thing.
Thanks for the help though appreciate it, cant help but think how much better/faster my s3 will be without the samsung software

It will be much better. :highfive: I will be closing this though, as it will turn into a best rom thread and "who has more features" or "whose is more stable". Best thing to do is read up and try.
Hello,
While changing my front glass screen of my S3, i've damaged the capacitive button interface, i've already ordered one new for replacement, but until there is there any way to have the buttons on screen like Nexus (NavBar) in a Touchwiz JB ROM? NOT like an AOKP or CM based rom.. I know that those have that option like paranoidrom.
Regards.
Check the first rule of XDA. Hint: you just broke it.
Your thread is also in the wrong section. Questions go in the QA
You're right.. i've posted on the wrong section...
About searching i've already did and didn't found anything for a International touchwiz JB ROM, can you post here an answer? or you just broke the rule 7 about this one?
Regards.

took me 3 seconds
Well.. i got to admit, you're very good using google.. but i still didn't found anything on those results that works on a JB touchwiz, not CM10 based ROM, did you?
Rule N1
"Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news."
OUR=Google.. oh my bad, i've used XDA search engine, maybe its the same engine.. I dont know.
I Really apreciate your help, maybe i didn't said that i've tried everything on those results previously and that they didn't worked for me, it causes BootLoop's, so you assumed that i didn't searched anything, may be i didn't melted my brain searching but i've searched alot, im a member since 2008 and this is my 1st thread started by me, so i didnt started the thread without having a little fight with search options.
Thank you for you help.

im not a developer but all ive heard all over the note 2 forums is how it is solely a touchwiz thing. so i would assume the other devices would need tw. assuming that, no one has been successful in this so far. its a neat concept, but i cant find any legitimate uses for it. ive tried texting while watching youtube videos etc... and the even with the note 2 big real estate, there isnt enough room to efficiently do 2 things at once.
and there cant be ported the whole touchwiz ported wit it to other device ? ive got nexus7, it is big enough, so i think it wil be useful.

I don't know if that's possible. It may be. I also don't know if it has anything to do with the kernel like s pen does
so ive just to wait for some developer, or for goole to include that function in next update, thanks for help.

Lol I'm really sorry I couldn't be of help. Just know that it isn't even working on the aosp roms for the phone's it was designed for. I'm guessing that'll come first, if ever. If you're rooted, check out cornerstone by onskreen. Its pretty much the same thing, and is in development now
you dont have to apologize, can you give the link to that ?

I have done a lot of searching on this and everything i have found suggests this is not possible but those posts are dated I just want to be sure nothing has changed recently.
I like the stock feel of the i717 with the samsung mms app and the samsung calendar app, touchwiz, etc. There are no official samsung updates after 4.1.2, but is it possible to get the samsung apps/framework working on cm11/cm10.2/AOSP somehow? It doesn't appear that anyone is too interested in doing this, maybe because the level of difficulty, but I would just like to know if it's possible. Maybe port a rom from a newer samsung phone? If its possible but not been done yet, i'm willing to do the work if someone will just point me in the right direction. Thanks.
P.S. This is a Q&A help section and I have done proper research before asking my question. No insults about my lack of knowledge please. I'm not asking anyone to do work for me, I just want advice. Thanks.
i think the problem is that you're one of the few people who like the samsung apps. a lot of people root their phones or install custom ROMs to have the ability to remove those apps.
good luck, though.

I'm always a minority lol. And I don't like all of them, just a few. Mainly the messaging app, samsung keyboard, and the gallery. And touchwiz with landscape mod is nice too. I just like the feel of a touchwiz rom but with samsung's 18 month support policy, the i717 is left hung out to dry...I wonder how hard it would be to just back-port a i747 rom? Thanks for the reply
