Hack request: camera button play/pause - Droid X General

I don't know if this is possible but I'm hopeful.
Could someone modify the stock music app to allow the camera button to play/pause the music *when the screen is off*? I know the volume rocker can adjust the music volume when the screen is off, but this camera mod would be sweet.
Any capable hackers out there? Out any advice?

Tasker can do that, as well. Expensive app, but well worth the capabilities.

Can we use a hardware button for camera?

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.

Volume button

Quick question :
From the home screen, when you push the volume buttons, what comes up? Media volume or ringer?

From the home screen it should be ringer volume. It should only show media volume if you're listening to music or watching a video or something like that.

[Q] Does any ROM allow skipping songs in Google Play Music App using volume buttons?

I use Google Play Music App for streaming music to the nexus 4. If I'm using google navigation then it is a hassle to switch to and from the music and navigation app to skip the song.
Is there any ROM which allows skipping songs in google play music app using volume control button?

I need the skipping to work with screen on (since navigation app will not switch the screen off).
This should help!

Use the notification bar and press > on the notification bar?
I don't see it mentioned that songs can be skipped in screen on mode in AOKP rom. CM only lets skipping to happen if screen is off.
Does AOKP allow songs to be skipped using volume buttons with screen on?
it's going to be hard to find this feature. maybe it's easier to find headphones/buds with built-in media buttons

[Q] Android App Controlling Music Playback

hey guys, I use to use an app that allowed me to use the volume rocker buttons to control my music playback. Basically, the way it works is you quickly double click the volume up rocker to skip a song and double click the down volume rocker to replay/go back. You can use this functionality with the screen off and if you press the volume rocker at "normal" speed, it would control volume as usual. I used to use the app but since I switched to my N4, I somehow lost it and can't remember the name of the app in the play store. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
I was looking for one also and came across one called "Pocket Skip Track" on the play store.
Works great on stock 4.3 aosp. Hope that's what you were looking for!

If you are rooted, you can try any rom, all the roms here have that feature to change the song by long pressing the volume up button and play the previous song by pressing the volume down button.. I am on Slimbean and it has this feature so no need to waste the valuable space of our phones when you can get the feature in the rom itself.

[Q] Volume button next track

Is there an app or way to get my volume button to skip tracks like Cynogenmod?
There are several Xposed modules that can be used to accomplish this is your device is rooted.
