I know that we can map the volume keys as shutter, but I was hoping there was a mod available to map it to the power button. So power button as shutter, with volume keys as zoom in and out. Im pretty sure its possible, its mentioned here in the T-Mobile S4 thread as a feature for a rom. Thanks in advance.

Looking for a way to turn one of the hardware buttons into a PLAY/PAUSE button while the screen is off. Any ideas on how this can be done? I have a rooted X10a w/2.1

i have thought of this, when the screen is locked i the home button should be play/pause, the menu back and the backkey next song.
I bought Music PlayerPro - the Volume Up/Down keys skip next/previous, or hold for volume up/down. (You can reverse this behaviour in the app too).
This works when the screen is locked btw.
I would love pause too... but the volume down does a similar job.
Have a look here:

I think it was released the same day you asked, as well!
Hello,
is there a hack to use the power button or the volume rocker switch as a trigger for the camera app? Using the touchscreen button as trigger often leads to shaky photos.
Thanks, Lukas
Hello you think it will be possible to root the camera button on the touchscreen to a physical button like the on/off button or the middle button to make better pictures?? If you try to make a photo from yourself it is nearly impossible to hit the button on the touchscreen to make the picture. Bad Solution from Samsung.
It'll be hard: power button is tied to sleep, home button is tied to suspend. You'll have to override these functions for it to happen.
maybe with a app it would be going i dunno i heard about vignette with that app it is possible to make pictures with the volume buttons.

camera zoom fx can set volume up or down keys to take pictures
Check this thread.. Posted under the general section.. Don't know whether it will help because the uploaded file is for SGS i9000.. But he has managed to implement it on an ACE so he might be able to guide you all through the process..

Ooops sorry guys, now only I noticed that the thread is closed..
The original Inc had an optical joystick that you could press to wake it up. This phone doesn't have one...any other way to wake it up w/o pressing the power button?

Not yet. I'm sure once it is rooted and all a volume wake key hack will be provided.

Just curious, but what would that accomplish? You'd still be pressing a physical button, and from the reviews the volume button is the mushy one this time, not the power/lock button. Not trying to be a d**k, just wondering what's the advantage of using the volume key over the p/l.
Too bad there isn't a way for something like "shake to wake".

To me nothing. I just use the power button. Some people seem to like it though.
Hey guys. So my wife's i777 power button just died on her. And to fix it I am thinking of using the volume buttons (press up and down at the same time) to simulate as if I am pressing the power button. Is there any such fix ?

CM and AOKP roms have an option to wake the phone by holding volume down.
Also you could download Gravity Screen Off which is a pretty decent app for getting around this problem as well.
