[MOD][May 04] GoogleCamX - Changes Vol up/down buttons to zoom keys - Xposed Framework Modules
GoogleCamX
This is a simple Xposed module for the new Google Camera app so that you can use the volume up & down buttons for zooming in and out.
Should work for both Camera mode (front and rear cams) and Video mode. This module should fill the request by @gridironbear
Install/Configuration
Install Xposed Framework
Activate Xposed app_process
Install this module and enable in Xposed Installer
Reboot or soft-reset
Fire up Google Camera and zoom away
Source
You can find it on my github
Alternate Install
Also available in the xposed repo
Thank you. It works on my Nexus 4 rooted, stock 4.4.2 with TWRP, Xposed and GravityBox.
Could you add an option to take a photo with power button?

Sure.
EDIT: Seems Google took out a permission to do this. Investigating alternatives.
That's strange.
I tried XPosed Additions and power button as camera shutter worked but zooming with volume rocker didn't.

Xposed Additions allows you to remap the keyevents, but I'm not sure if they are per-app settings or system-wide. The Power button event normally gets consumed/handled by the framework and not passed to applications.
I'm just handling the Vol up/down keyevents within the Google Camera app, so if those keypresses are never sent through to the app, my module won't see them.
Works as advertised on my Nexus 5 with one exception—it doesn't seem to work on Camera mode with HDR+ enabled.
Other than that, which is more of an observation than a gripe, this is an awesome little module. Thanks!

Hmm, I don't seem to have an HDR+ option on my One in Google Camera, only HDR; vol zoom still seems to work with it enabled.
Maybe GC is passing it off to the native camera module to enable HDR+.

I'm also having issues on my Nexus 5 in HDR mode. However, when trying to zoom in HDR mode the volume rocker actually acts as a shutter release.
It seems to zoom just fine in all other modes that I tried.
This is using today's update of the Google Camera App.
Can someone with a Nexus 5 post their stock Camera.apk?

I came through this post now so here you go the Camera app with odex file

I'd love it if this worked with HDR mode. Great mod so far.

I'll see what I can do about HDR. Can you manually zoom in HDR mode either with a slider or pinch/expand to zoom?

Yep, works while pinching/expanding in hdr
Mmmm instead of zooming when i press volume buttons they take a photo

I posted a beta release to the xposed repo that will hopefully work for Nexus 5 users trying to zoom in HDR+ mode. I couldn't find any methods that are specific to HDR+ mode, but I did find an onKeyDown that I hadn't replaced yet, so maybe this will be the one. Please give it a try and let me know if it works or not.
I just tried on my Nexus5, stock ROM; no go.
If I have HDR+ enabled:
Vol Up button caused the Camera app to force close.
Vol Down is actually adjusting sound volume
If I disable HDR+:
Vol Up seems to start zooming in but it caused my phone to reboot.
I had to uninstall it 'cause I have a project on which I need to constantly use the camera.

If you have a chance to pull a logcat of the FC, that might give me some insight into which class I should be focusing on.

Camera lag with native app
Is this a fault of the rom? [UnName 1.0.3] or is it the stock app? Are there any better apps for using the camera that are faster and won't pause for 2 seconds after I've hit the shutter button? [EDIT] Also I do have blink detection and anti-shake on, but with these off, its about a half second or so quicker to shoot, still I would like a snappier shooter if possible as I would like to use my phone's awesome camera as a point and shoot. It would also be cool if the lock/power button could be used as a shutter button when in use with the camera app if possible. Any tips?
I think the shutter delay issue is just part of the phone. As to the power button question, I believe they are working on modding the camera apk presently to allow for the usage of that as well as using the camera at any battery level(it usually disables it below 15%)

Camera Manual Focus!!
I am wondering is there is any way that we could control the focus of the camera manually "not like touch to focus" like when we do zooming instead of it will change the focus so it give us stable focus on that point!! I hope my idea is clear!!
it looks like there is no hope!!

Click to collapse You can use the camera button to focus I take pictures on manual mode all the time and that means pictures in low light with less noise About the focusing, just press the camera button a little bit and then your phone will focus, if you don't like the focus just let the button go and try again while holding the phone slightly different with light source etc, then you can really make nice pictures Sent from my LT26i using XDA
hey guys I know about this, what am talking about is to have the control of the focus!! once you press on the screen it will ""auto"" focus on that point!! but I want to control the degree of the focus like professional cameras!!

may be , we can control it by using custom driver for camera. as in SE k850 , it has manual focus by using custom camdrive. or, anyone can make app that make manual focus possible ?
I've used some phone from Japan, mainly from Sharp, and all of them have manual focus. It's extremely convenient, especialy when you need to capture something in close distance, like die-casts. They run on customized Symbian, so IMO, Symbian has some driver/libs to support manual focus I don't know if new Android phones sold locally in Japan can manual focus or not, since I haven't had a chance to take a look of them. But I think Android platform can support that, because the stock Gingerbread ROM on Optimus 2X has manual focus.
manual focus has any other phone having this option? Sent from my Xperia U using Tapatalk 2
camera manual focus Sky A650 was have this option ! i'll take camera.apk in A650 and upload this !!! Sr for my English
lolz.........
please THIS IS A REQUEST to all MODDERS and DEVELOPERS out there....!!! If possible, it would be really useful to get manual focus in android.. please respond.. :good: :fingers-crossed:
correct me if im wrong, but i believe this should have been posted on QnA forum :silly: anyways, yeah everybody's been pining for this for quite some time already here's to hoping that this finally happens :fingers-crossed:

anyone?
I had the same problem, it's the Gcamra app's fault and you got 3 options. Go to your Google camera setting and force HDR in all photos. Download another camera app. (like the MIUI one for example) (my perfered one) download the modded Google camera and also enforce HDR. While also having a huge amount of settings to play around with.

Question Can someone dump the stock camera .apk? (pretty please :) )
I am really hoping you can touch to focus on video on the new 1 III model... If someone can confirm/deny I would be grateful. In any way, uploading the stock camera .apk would be helpful for everyone curious to try it on other xperia devices.
There you go
You can touch to focus or manually focus during recording in the cinema pro app which is focussed on video capturing and editing. However auto focus during recording didn't work too well in a quick first try. It just couldn't get a hold of the sharp point. But maybe I did something wrong or this will be fixed. Manual focus however is a dream - wouldn't wan't anything else. You can even preset 2 focus levels and automatically switch between them.
I just downloaded this to my Xperia 5 ii it works I like how they made the basic mode and still have the other options

If you hit the camera button it pulls up the normal app but you can use the double power button tap to open it by default that way
Also someone made a macro that works only prob you can't use the standard camera app and it disables it
