Taking self shots and/or one handed shots is a pita since you have to touch the screen when taking pictures. Is it possible to hack the power button to act as a camera button when the camera is in use?

i would like to know too
Great idea

agreed, good idea, would like to see this in action.
Actually, using the volume would work too because you don't need to use the rocker at all during a photo.

No. The volume rocker zooms in. The power button is on top so you can press it with your index finger like a normal point n shoot.
I also would love to see this, but just a tip for people-- setting a timer on the camera helps for taking images of oneself.
It's a great idea, been talked about often. Think there's a thread in the dev section. Fingers crossed they will make a hack for it.
This would be very useful.
Does anyone know if tasker could be used for this?

Alot of people didn't know that. I just found out last week.

It is not a true zoom. You're better off not using it and cropping on your pc because that is all it is.

I wouldn't say it's that obvious in the app. I stumbled upon it on accident trying to lower the volume of the shutter.
I didn't know. LOL. Thanks

It was a cool discovery for me too. Saddly it is probably the worst function on a this great camera app. "digital" zoom stinks. It should be called instant quality degrade button.
Love the camera tho...

True. I do however like how I can push and hold the shutter screen button to lock in focus with a green box, then release the button by pulling my finger away to almost reduce all camera shake. No camera shake = sharper shots.
Best point and shoot I have ever used, but I'm a photographer by trade so I only have used a few point and shoot cameras. I like this one, but who the hell am I? ;-)

I posted in the troubleshooting thread but I know people are going to be looking for this and it still hasn't gotten a solution so I am making another thread by itself for this.
Is there a way to disable to volume button on the EVO Shift as every time i close it I hit it and end up muting it. Is there an app or something to disable buttons?
Thanks,

Same thing happens to me. I wish I could just lock the volume in-place and not worry about it.
have you guys noticed you can go from max volume to vibrate in like 1 second flat if you hold the rocker down? i was amazed... i think we might actually have to fix this one guys haha

Yeah, I know. Hopefully an app or a mod developed that can take care of this issue.

I used volume locker as well. Seems to work thus far.
This seems like a possible future fix to the issue, better than volume locker in my opinion, not to fond of that.

App called ButtonRemapper for full root.
Here you can follow what devices have support and possibly chime in to push for support of the Shift =)

The ButtonRemapper seems pretty cool except its got a huge security hole, it requires perm r/w to your system directory. I would not recomend that program. I would be interested in the volume locker, is that found in the app store?
The title should say it all. Google searching has found me nothing on this, so I don't know if its ever been brought up.
Seeing as how we have the luxury of having a hardware keyboard, I was wondering if anybody knew how to modify clockworkmod so that we could use those buttons instead of the normal volume up/down, power, and camera buttons to navigate the recovery menu (after so much flashing, my camera button has begun to stick slightly; save my camera button!).
If you open the keyboard and hold your phone in portrait orientation, the most logical combination to me would be:
Left arrow - scroll up
Right arrow - scroll down
Search button - return to previous menu
Home button - select
I would try to do this myself, but looking at the one-click cwm 3 folder, I don't even know which file would need to be torn apart to do this, nor what types of files they are (so what program to use to extract their contents?)...
If anyone with any knowledge wants to provide some guidance, or if anyone is feeling froggy enough to try this themselves, it would be greatly appreciated

This doesn't answer your question per se, but this problem with using the volume keys will soon be somewhat moot. I don't have the link at the moment, but some of the Bonsai Team have been running an add in that gets rid of the secondary confirmation.

Hmmm...that is interesting, but I don't know much I would actually like that...i can get lazy with flashing sometimes, and I've caught myself on more than one occasion having selected the wrong thing...
But thanks for the info.
Bump 10 char...any takers?

It is possible to so that. It would mean someone would have to compile a new recovery and modifying the keymap to use the keyboard along with the keymap that it uses now. It's not hard just a pita.

Yeh I knew those would be the steps, simple, but a tedious affair. If more people vote for this I'm sure someone will take it on. Or give me some guidance lol.
So....
Save your camera buttons!

FWIW, I don't mind the extra confirmation, but the implementation is ridiculously excessive. A simple two-entry menu confirm/cancel would be plenty sufficient.

I never use it on the home screen.
I use it all the time in Market.
I always remap it to camera. I use an app called button remapper from market.

I use it all the time. It's the quickest way to pull up a contact or even an app.
(I've turned off the web search so it's fast)
I know you can "dial" a contact name in the dialer, but it doesn't tell you which number is mobile, work, etc so it's pointless.
I also use this TONS! It allows me to remove the google search widget, and I use it for voice search all the time.

Like Alex pointed out, you can remap it...
that said, I am going to argue if you don't use it, you just are doing it wrong... the search button saves me a lot of time. There is a reason it's the 4th button, of 4 though.
Samsung got the 4 buttons in the right order, in my opinion.
I am right handed though.

No matter what order it was in, you'd get used to it now or later...
I basically use the search for in-app searches like in the market etc.
