[Camera-Mod] hardwarebutton - Galaxy S II General

Hi guys,
I was searching for an SGS2 Camera mod, to use the powerbutton as the cameratrigger.
Because I did not find one, I tried it on my own.
But as my javaknowledge is poor, I am not able to temporarily disable the powermenu popup.
So I remapped the volumkeys, to work as the trigger in cameramodus.
I did not apply this to the camecorder, because it is not working right now.
In Post 7 you can find a 1080p @ 30 Mbit and 48000 khz/192 kbit Audio Recording camera.apk with the same mod
Functions:
Hold Volumekey to focus and release to shoot.
Tap Volumekey will take a direct snapshot
Installation (root acces requiered)
Extract the camera.apk from the rar archive and copy it to your SGS2
Now we have to replace the original camera.apk
You can take Yaffs Explorere to do this (free available in the market)
First execute "busybox mount -o rw,remount /system" to mount
Then copy and paste the new file into /system/app/
IMPORTANT!
If your volumekeys are still mapped to the zoom funktion, you did not correctly replace the old apk.
Try to delete your old camera.apk. If it is still there, you did not mount your file system correctly
done.

Thank you for your workaround, nice feature when adding hardware buttons was looking for that
But one question, what is the difference between the original and this one? (expect for the hardware buttons) doesn't it already film @ 1080p (1920x1080) or am I wrong? xp
greetings

interesting but how to zoom in/out without volume buttons???

@IILaryII
Thank you very much for this Mod.. can you do that on the SuperHighBit HX Camere.apk ???
it contains: 1080p @ 30 Mbit and 48000 khz/192 kbit Audio Recording
here is the Link:http://hx-custom-roms.com/wp-content/camera_HX-Mod.zip

@kultus
Pinch to zoom
@rodigezstyle
I'll see what I can do Could take a few minutes

Done.
But as I said before, Camecordermodus ist not working right now.

Cool!
Finally someone did the trick!
Hopefully the Rom Builders here implement your camera.apk in their Builds! I ;-)

I would like to have it one the power key
I found two solutions for that, but I have to learn Java for that first.
As long as I dont know how the work around the power menu, I cant map the powerkey to the trigger :/

does it work with cm7 ?

It should work with cm7, just backup your old camera.apk and give it a try.
I am currently running Lite'ning Rom V2.2
Tell me if it works correctly, after you tried
Thx

Hi,
would you be able to make this apk work with volume buttons as well.
this one and the HyperX one are the main modded camera apk out there
this one does 192kbps 44Khz audio normal bitrate
(i just changed the icon)
i'd be really grateful for this. thanks

Sadly it doesn't work here...

No it won't?
The camera app in the main post is a Samsung app, which needs the Samsung framework.
CM7 is not related to Samsung in any ways, and therefore doesn't have the Samsung framework.

Also I took the new Camera.apk, that is able to take 1080p Videos.
The quality is amazing.

Awesome work!!
2 questions;
What do you mean by the new Camera that can take 1080p videos?? I was under the impression its always been able to...?
Also, are you able to take the enhancements from HyperX's modded (old) Camera.apk and implement it into the newest release (KG2/3) as it has some performance increases and HyperX doesn't seem to be interested...
Cheers for the step in the right direction!!
Dickie.

Made it work! Just installed it like any other app and it worked!
Nice job indeed!
I even prefer it on volume keys!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Strange, that cameraapk I haf before was not able to capture 1080p. Ill take that out.
And yes, later when I have time, I will mod the other apk too.

Yeah didnt work here either on leomar volume just zooms
Edit: did work when installing as regular app great , annoying volume sound when snapping a pic thats it ;d

That sounds good, but sadly it can't capture videos. I believe that lgCamera, with camcorder integrated, is a more "direct" replacement for the stock CM camera.
Its great app also much useful than stock one!!
Guys, does anyone have a problem with this app?? I love it, it has great features, but it's behaving strangely, hanging up all the time. Anyone with this problem?

FX Camera takes glitch-free pictures on ics

I've found that FX Camera takes glitch-free pictures on ics roms. The resolution isn't amazingly high but seems to be the best option so far for me... you can also create a shortcut to the normal mode on ya home screen.
Hope this helps some people!

ICS MIUI based on Lord's work
I've been trying some shots, and sometimes there are glitches, and sometimes there are not... anyway it does improve what i had before (glitches ALWAYS)
When using flash, pictures are always o.k., when flash is not used, sometimes I get that blurred portion on top...

Not the best camera app around but good temp solution til we get the stock one working.
Thank you, work here for the moment...
FX camera is the app for photos
but what app is the best for recording video?
the camera glitches is the only thing keeping me from using ICS virtuos quattro.
Unfortunately you can't record video at all on any of the ics roms (yet...)

Thank you both for your opinion.
if you ppl've 'Blackmart alpha' app..search for 'Defy Photo'(<100Kb) and from this app you can use your hardware buttons to click a pic!

Here's an attachment. It should work because a 2megapixel camera is capable to record at 720p. Its not due to hardware incompatibility, but it is due to the coding which limits the recording capability of a camera.
*Note* - The zip file, I think isn't installing via CWM, so you'll have to manually install it via Root Explorer. 720p and 480p recording added. You'll need another Camera Application as the Stock one isn't compatible. Try finding some advance Camera App to make it work.

Thanx a lot bro. Can you suggest any camera app which will work with your zip file?
This small app may help a bit to use the volume button as camera shutter.
I want the power button to be the shutter button. Because volume is for zoom in and out. Thanks!
I also want that, that's why I created this thread, but there's no developer who is interested in it.

[pseudoFIX] Camera Working on CM10.1

Hi everyone,
Seen that the camera touch to focus is still broken in our SGS3 CM10.1, I've decided to make this script that will solve this problem for you by installing the HuaweiCamera that fully works!
I've tested this on the latest cm10.1 nightly and it worked...
How To:
1. Download Script Manager from the Play Store;
2. Open Script Manager and give it root permission;
3. Open my .pdf file (actually is a .sh file but I think that XDA forum policy does not allow the upload of .sh file. Don't worry, Script Manager will see it like an .sh file )
4. Before you hit RUN, click on the superuser image (This gives root permission at the script)
5. Then, hit RUN and the device should reboot after a couple of seconds...
6. You now have a fully working camera on your CM10.1 SGS3
For any question, feel free to ask
PS: To see the source, just rename the .pdf file attached in fix.sh and open it with vi, gedit, etc...
Edit: re-inserted the script...i had uploaded the old version XD Now it works
so, it just installs the Huawei camera? cool, but how's that original development?

Tried, but not at all satisfied.
I want the stock 4.2.1 camera to work with CM 10.1, but unfortunately, it wont work. So I'll install any 3rd party Camera app. Also Panaroma is not working.
BTW how can I remove it?
Anyways, for your work, +1.
I got over this problem with 3rd party camera software. It has touch the focus and have lots of functions.

What 3rd party does anyone recommend? I've tried MX camera but found it to be clunky.
Does installing this affect the normal cm camera? Because this works but now I get the error of can't connect to camera on the cm camera and I haven't got this error ever before.

In my experience it does not affect the CM camera in anyway (I'm using this fix for two week and so far no problem)

PROCAPTURE is awesome. WAY better than FX Camera or MX It does not include a video mode though, when you choose it's video mode it simply opens the phones stock camera video app.
Currently using Camera ZOOM FX and loving it. Dare I say I actually prefer it to the stock app, which I used for almost two years exclusively, on my Galaxy Nexus.
Hidden the stock camera app using Trebuchet and defaulted Camera Zoom FX so it opens via lock screen swipe. Perfect solution to the only noticeable bug I had with AOSP on the SGS3.
Regards.

If its built in to the camera there might not be a apk for at least that's how the features work on the m7. What u need is the lib. Check if there's a lost of libs that he removed and u can just get them from another Rom
