[Camera-Mod] hardwarebutton

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???

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

Ohhh Man, you are Great Thanks !!!

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

Is there a better camera that will work with nightlys?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium

I know there are a few that use the MIUI camera. There's plenty of posts about that in the CM7 thread if you search. But just curious, what's "wrong" with the CM7 camera?

I don't think anyone is questioning the validity of you wanting a different camera. I believe BrettApple is asking what you don't like about the CM camera because knowing this information could help people make better recommendations.
Maybe you want more special effect options
Maybe you want a different shutter mode
Depending on what you are looking for, people will be able to make better recommendations.
I've personally used CM7 stock cam, MIUI cam on CM7, Vignette (a market app), and Camera Zoom FX (a market app).
These days I just use the stock CM7 cam for most stuff. I occasionally fire up the MIUI cam so I can take advantage of the burst shutter mode. I don't have any other cameras currently installed.

So does anyone have a link to the miui cam? And would I flash it or install it with root explorer?

This attached version should be installable as a regular apk (i.e. no need to flash/push)

Does the MIUI camera still cause reboots with CM7? I used to get them all the time.

I got one. Not sure what setting though
Rest in peace Mr. Jobs....

If you are having reboot issues, I believe that turning off the AutoFocus will resolve. Some people seem to experience it more than others: I have no idea why.
If you disable AutoFocus, touch-to-focus still works.

I use the mini camera without any problems on cm7. I like it better than the stock for the versatility in settings. Is very easy to add.

I used it and absolutely loved the design. But, being a lazy teenager, i would have continued using it if it had got physical buttons mapping. Have changed to stock cm camera and picsart/pixlomatic since.

[Help][Solved] camera rotation bug in sgy..

Hello guys...I don't know if it's a bug or my phone is malfunctioning...but when I try to use camera with any external application like cymera, the preview screen (the screen which shows the live view before taking any picture) doesn't shows up in proper orientation...the screen is rotated by 90° .but the images are fine and after clicking capture button the images are normal like they should be...here are the screenshots
(Preview screen of stock camera and other camera apps like cymera respectively)
I'm currently on ussrv9 and no it's not the Rom issue for me...not working even with stock Rom
Has anyone else faced this bug? Also, please tell me if there are any working custom camera apps available for our sgy or it would be best if you can provide any fix to this bug...if it's with only me then I'm gonna go to service centre
Thanks in advance

Best Camera app?

Can someone recommend me a really good camera app which I can use instead of the stock app? I have used Camera Zoom but that somehow cuts my photos from the corners when the front cam is used.
I am primarily looking for a camera app with a timer...which it seems isn't included in our stock camera.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

I quite like Snap Camera.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app

If you want full control of camera parameters, I recommend Camera FV-5.

I use Shot Control, because it has full exposure controls:
- Multiple Touch Focus/Meter regions on ICS (on supported devices with Android 4.0)
- Direct access to exposure control and zoom
- One tap access to ISO, White Balance, Scene Modes, Focus Modes, and Flash Mode Settings (based on device abilities)
- Custom mapping for hardware buttons (like volume down for focus, volume up for shutter)
- Pre-focus function
It's built for photographers who know how to manipulate DSLRs.
I don't think it has a timer, though, but the Dev is super responsive so I'm sure if you requested it, he'd add it.

ProCapture Pro has it all.
