Hi guys,
so, do you know of any trick or mod or app to do that?
I mean when taking a picture to use a hardware button?
Thanks.
There was an app for this on WinMo, you could use the volume buttons to take a photo instead.
I'd love to see this for Android (would it be phone specific? Not universal? If its even possible)

Third party camera apps allow you to assign a hardware button (RetroCamera lets you use either vol-up or vol-down). But I haven't seen the ability to have the built-in camera app assign a hardware shutter release.
I will try that one see how it works.

Is the an app that allows us to take pictures without displaying the capture screen? (in other words, it looks like you're doing something else but you're actually taking pictures)
Also, is there any app that can record videos without be on top? (kinda like how WMP can play music from the background) The stock camcorder program stops recording when you minimize it.
If these apps don't exist can someone code them? Or maybe modify the stock camcorder program so it doesn't cut the recording when you minimize it.
Just one touch video would be good. it takes too long to open the app and sort through menus when you want to record something quickly. :-(
I agree. Even just speeding up the stock camera program would help. Or assigning the capture button to an actual key like the 'call' key.
you can assign it to a button (i use the mute button on the back of the phone) using the rhodium keyboard driver
can you please describe in detail how you mapped that?
After about month of using my dinc, I've found that I literally never press the opti trackpad button. Is there any way to make this button act as a dedicated camera button (or to set it up to launch a specific app). I've done no customization to my phone thus far (waiting on a stable froyo custom ROM), but I have no problem with rooting or installing a custom ROM in order to get this functionality. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd love to reclaim this currently useless button.
Download Vignette from the market and you can set your trackpad to take pics or you can even tap the screen to take a photo.
I think morph2k4 is talking about having the button work even when you're not in a camera app. So the idea would be, any time you press that button, it would either take a picture or open a camera app. With Vignette, that button only works when you already have the app open.
Exactly right, I want to make that button load up my camera app from anywhere.
You should take this to the development forum, they might be able to help.
Possible to do so and if there's any app that provide such function from market?
Check out vignette, you'll never use another camera app
Is there any apps/hacks that can allow the user to use the volume button (or any hardkeys) as the camer shutter? Thanks

Not sure for the stock camera but if you don't mind using another camera app Vignette (which I much prefer to the stock camera) lets you use the volume button or the search button for the shutter. Sure other similar apps would do the same.

i was just about to request this myself lol (slightly ios5 inspired, not gonna lie lol).
i hate how hard it is it correctly target the shutter button on the touchscreen while not looking. would be handy to have one of the volumes to focus and one to shoot!
is there any way to remap volume key as buttom for open camera in nexus4 (not shutter ) ?
thanks in advance

One better. I use tasker to open the camera when I rotate from portrait to landscape. Tasker is amazing.
