i'm not a developer but i had an idea for a tweak/app that would be useful to me and hopefully a lot of other people. I just came home from a vacation and took a ton of pictures with my Evo and grew frustrated by the lack of a dedicated camera button. i was wondering if it would be possible to make one of the volume buttons take the picture. I would want this only when the camera app is open of course. I know the volume buttons can be re-routed because of how they are used to scroll up and down through web pages in the Dolphin HD browser. Can anyone tell me if this would be possible or if its already been done? i've done some research into this and didn't come up with anything. I thought i would ask the great group of developers we have here at PPCG. Thanks everyone!!! (HTC Evo)
+1 Was just looking for something like this.
Searching everywhere for this. Alot of people would appreciate it!
This is a great idea! I'm surprised it hasn't been done on the EVO yet. At least I haven't seen any App/hack that can make the EVO do this. I hope it's possible and I hope someone can make it happen. Fingers crossed.
I like the idea...but have a slightly different motive. I'm on an X which has a dedicated camera button, however, when I'm using it as an audioplayer in my pocket, while it's possible for me to turn the volume up and down with the rocker, I can't actually pause the audio...so I plan to find a way to re-route one of the buttons somehow to be a play/pause button...

PLEASE developers! evo users would love this!
Sounds Good To ME!
This would make things easier. Sometimes you feel you didnt touch the screen right or hard enough, this would take care of that. +1
Count me in... This is the only thing that prevents me from using the evo as a point and shoot
This is already available via the Camera Zoom FX app on the market. Not free, but is there. However I have found that it is buggy as hell.
Bugs I have noticed:
1. Pictures won't save. It's like they are stored in the cache. You take a picture, go to gallery to view it and it won't be there. If you reboot the phone it will be.
2. The "FX" don't always work. There are several effects that come stock with the app. They frequently don't do what they are supposed to or won't load at all. I have found that you can exit the program via the back buttons and then start it again to get the FX to load, but even that has stopped working.
3. It actually asks you to download Task Killer the first time you open the app. Going on about camera apps using memory and all. So in other words it has a memory leak and instead of fixing it they want you to manually kill the task.
It does what some in this thread are asking for. However I wouldn't suggest you buy it.
I tried to take a picture to a document in a completly dark place , and I couldn´t focus, i tried with default sense camera, camera zoom and camera 360, in my previous phone, samsung i900 it switch on the flash while focus an then took the picture.. i cant do it with hd2.. any help will be highly appreciated..
t seems that anyone ere likes to take pictures in the dark)
Yeah i know where your coming from, anywhere it's very dark or very bright it's impossible to see when your trying to focus,i was on the beach today with my son and taking some snaps of him playing and i couldn't see with the sun but thankfully the photos turned out ok but with my old digital camera i was able to see a lot more.
Just take the picture. The flash will come on and the picture will be able to be seen.
This is something I was stuck at too. Normally, on a phone with flash, in the dark, trying to focus would temporarily activate the flash to let the phone see where to focus, and then fix the focus on the spot and shoot the picture.
My HD2 won't do that. Just one of the little things no one thought of.
use the torch app widget to flick the torch on, it will; stay on when you jump to camera and focus will work.

pro-hdr-camera has a torch option in the flash settings which keeps the led on so you can focus in complete darkness, bought it just for that feature. also take pretty decent shots.

For now - this problems really deep inside. Video system in android 4 changed mostlly.
Wow, I knew that you wouldn't abandon us.
Edit: Just loaded it up. Really fast. Obviously, a lot of problems but nevertheless, really good start.
No market?
No wifi?
And an error kept popping up, in part english, part Korean, at every new screen, stating it will eliminate something.
So glad to have you back

Wifi is ready! light sensor seems to working fine.
but gravity sensor not working, camera not working
Okay it booted fast I was able to sign in to Google.
I did some ram tweaks I was able to get 70+.
I used a bootfix to get it booted.
I will get even more ram after sensors get fixed.
Looking forward in using cm9.

It's awesome & sweet, man!
I was tried with CM9 but no luck and have not much time to play around with it. Now you are back with it, that great!
Thumb up & keep great working.
I will try it soon
Tried, and this is my experiences:
Good things:
- Speed is incredible fast with many apps I installed on last CM7.X
- Wifi, 3G works
- Home button not work (cannot go home by pressing Home button) EDITED: Home button is go with different behavior compared with GingerBread, so press & hold it to see list of recent & running app, this way it work for me
and many things work as expected.
and Bad things:
- Screen rotation is not work well: look it start to work but mostly forced in landscape mode (in launcher, app) some time it go portrait for dialing screen, error message ... I was unchecked auto rotation options but not help.
- Call not work for me, it go end nearly immediate after I press call.
- SMS not work, EDITED: work after reboot, may it has blocked by some overload operations.
- Net monitor through some exceptions due: /proc/net/xt_qtaguid/stats not exist, we need kernel module for this stuff.
- Cam not work (of course )
I don't see where to customize Cyanogen such as fast switch widget on notification bar, look like we are missing Cyanogen Settings
I have problem with IO schedule in CM7 and was remove dalvik-cache from list of app2ext startup script and it solved 50% of mine. I used `lsof` to see what's going to use /sdcard & /sd-ext and see that almost operations come from background apps like launcher, theme. I think we should avoid to use bind mount to SD's ext partition to get better speed. Also use `vmstat` command will see sometime 1-3 applications block IO process and it will cause IO wait almost full (about > 90).
Anyone face problem like me? and what's solution you guys was used to solve it?
Will try to tweak it and fix some buggy if possible, keep the good work guys!
I see some have offered to help with cm9 but I'm dispointed in these forms .
The first thing thats needs to be fixed are sensors.
The camera will be the hardest to fix.
I believe the defry has the same sensors as our xt can someone do a port for are xt.
The worked good for me but their seems to be battery drain.
I would like to see some team work on this cm9.
Thanks J.Y.Daddy for your help.

Anyone know the way to let android force display in portrait mode?
Currently sensors not work correctly then it always go landscape mode, it is weir.
I tried some prop in but no luck.
About sensors I tried one from CM-7.1 but no luck, look like ICS using different stuff for use sensors then fix in framework may help but I don't have time to check it out.

Un-check the box for: Settings --> Display --> Auto-Rotate Screen
Unless....of course....that is being overwritten by something in CM9.
I tried it already, unchecked auto rotate option in display setting & Trebuchet but no luck.

we can always use a 3rd party Camera App, if we can not fix the camera, right?
or are you referring to the kernel knowing there's a camera attached to the phone?

ICS changed the camera API significantly. I don't think anyone's figured out how to use the older libraries yet. Non-functioning camera is pretty common at the moment.
We really to find a fix for the sensors first then fix other things.
Sent from my XT720 using xda premium
For camera, AFAIK we need to write a new kernel module for it as ICS is using HAL then we must have:
- /system/lib/modules/camera.ko
- /system/lib/hw/camera.sholes.so
EDITED: I've just tried with hw/camera.goldfish.so & camera.ko from MS2 then Camera app just loaded with colored box pinging, at least it not show "Cannot connect to Camera" message

The Oppo Find 5 is now officially supported by the PA-team, so our Oppo Find 5 will be succesfull! Now our Oppo Find 5 will get hopefully more support from other devs.
So my question is: Do you like Paranoid Android for the Oppo Find 5?
Leave a comment below!
It's pretty damn good IMO. Granted, it's in the beginning stages but I'm actually going to use it for my daily and see how it goes. I know Aaron said the camera doesn't work currently but not a deal breaker for me as I don't take a lot of pics. It's taking a little getting used to being that the OPPO has the buttons at the bottom so even if you have PIE enabled, the bottom buttons still function. The new Halo feature seems to be working pretty well so that's a plus.
All in all though, I'm pretty stoked to say the least.
Yes please
Haven't tried it out yet, I'll hop on it when they fix the camera and Halo is released as Beta.
Currently using the latest Firefly build, which is actually quite nice if you ask me...
Yea I'm going to make a thread when I get home today, I can add the option to disable the soft keys. The hybrid properties in there are something I did quickly. I can set up better defaults. I know where the camera is broken but don't have time to fix it till late next week

First off, thanks! I was just wondering if there will be a way to disable the hard keys? I know in the stock Oppo rom you can at least disable the backlighting of the keys? I came from a Nexus 4 and would love to be able to "disable" the hardware keys and just use pie.

My F5 is in transit and all the options for this phone make me coocoo for cocoa puffs. I cant wait!
Paranoid Android is def my favorite rom Paranoid Android is going to be sick on the OF5 and yes you can just use the keys and keep the entire screen, like HTC Roms. CM10.1 or whatever new build they have out is always great also. The more roms the better, Oppo needs to get this phone out in all countries that would bring in more devs and even if they lowered the price, the price is already low for an a device that has everything already unlocked out of the box. And a company that inspires this type of freedom with your device. Oppo is almost like do what you want its yours you paid for it, attitude! Thats what I like.
I like it but..
I will get difficulty choosing between CM-bare, PA and AOKP. Thhere's also the PAC-rom that is announced today.
I think I will stick with the CM untill PA has the camera fixed.
Definitly trying this!!
Loving PA on my Find 5, my only request is they implement this ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcq_p6Gjwl8
BTW for those that want to manually disable the capacitive keys and led lights here is what you need to do.
To turn of capacitive button lights:
Go to system/lib/hw
There find lights.find5.so
Rename it to "lights" or anything.
Reboot.
To restore just rename it to lights.pico.so again and reboot.
To turn off capacitive buttons:
Go to system/usr/key layout/synaptics-rmi-ts.kl
Long press it and click open with text editor
Delete everything there
Reboot.
To restore , restore the backup of the file which is automatically created

Does it change screen colours like PA does on the Nexus 4?
I've been running ReVolt, which has PA and some other stuff. It's been a very nice ROM thus far with no major issues.
Camera works for pictures (haven't confirmed image quality yet). Video works but the quality is bad. Gonna hop over and post on that and see if Johny can lend a hand there.

I'd also like to know that..My Find has a yellowish white and a little washed out colours compared to my halfbreed Nexus 4..
perfect for me
This is my favourite ROM from all that I have tried and probably because I find the flexibility of changing app dpi the most SIMPLE UI is a winner
It is perfect when combined with xposed framework and just grabbing modules to enhance the experience
fantastic rom and kudos for all those working on modules to make life simple when it comes to customising
Hi all,
I recently installed the GCam port on my Axon 7 (rooted, running Magisk), works fine, except for one problem. Flash just doesn't work properly.
- The first problem is that it's finicky on when it decides to use the flash, even if I set it to "On" in the on screen menu. I have to be in a dark environment for it to go off.
- Second, the camera won't take a correct picture when flash is active. It will work, but the final image doesn't have any flash on it.
Here is a video showing both problems: https://youtu.be/8isBucEs6WI (Somehow I even had the first problem in a very dark room)
If you guys know anything I can do to fix this, that would be great. Thank you.
