[Q] Camera shutter button - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
On my old Nexus S running CM10, I was able to map the power button to be used a dedicated shutter button while in the camera app. I really appreciated this functionality. Is there anyway to do this on a rooted Nexus 4 from the stock camera app (or a modded version of it), while running the stock ROM?
I know there are some apps that will do this. For example, Camera FV-5 and VolShutter are capable of this. These apps are not exactly what I am looking for. I'd really like to find a way to do this in the stock app. Also, I'd prefer to remain on the stock 4.2.2 ROM (so CM10.1 is not an option for me).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

Bump and did you find a solution?

I am using this :
Camera ICS ( from google play store )
( No photosphere ).
In settings you can choose volume rocker buttons + and - as AF or Soot actions.

Assign camera button

Hello all,
I was just wandering...... From all the developers here, does anyone think if its possible to use the lock button while in camera mode to shoot pictures.
It really seams useless to lock the screen while in camera mode......
I've been quite impressed with all the great work you all put into developing this phone into even better device.
Let me know what you thing about that.
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Using the MIUI camera in CM7

I have recently installed the MIUI camera apk onto my G2 running CM7.1 RC1. My problem is when i make a shortcut to the app on my homescreen (launcherpro) after a while, the button will redirect back to my old camera app. The only solution i have found is to uninstall then reinstall the MIUI camera apk, but i know there has to be a fix. any help would be appreciated because I cant stand the old camera interface anymore... i like MIUI's to much now!
Did you change the permissions with the MIUI camera application?

[Q] Weird button problem...

I just started having a problem with my Nexus 4... the onscreen buttons won't work. I can't use the home, recent apps, or back button when I hold the phone in portrait mode. I have to use apps in landscape mode to get the buttons to work. I thought maybe that side of the screen had gone bad, but touches register in the same space in other apps. Anyone have a clue as to why this might be?
Nope, but you may wish to include further information (e.g. ROM, kernel, settings, recently installed apps or launchers)

Oh, sorry forgot about all of that information.
Stock! It's definitely stock rom, not sure if it was rooted and messed with beforehand (brother gave it to me after he bought the gnii). He gave me the phone back in Christmas and it has been fine. Stock launcher. The day the buttons stopped working I didn't install anything. Just took a few photos and next time I tried to use the phone the buttons didn't work.
I've done a factory reset. Still the same.

Try this App with out root you can use it...
i looking to open it without moving it
like a sweep on the screen
The app does do that with the proximity sensor. Otherwise, look for a kernel or app that allows slide2wake or sweep2wake.

Nice find, just tried it and it works great on the nexus 4
You can also try PA ROMs where you can wake the phone up using volume rockers.

the second app look good i try this
the gravity is a battery killer, it always on

Not sure what this is, but my IR scanner isn't working much right.

Don't know if this is anything to do with the recent update of pac rom or possibly my phone getting fixed for a broken camera, but for what ever reason, when I try and use the smart remote app, I would press the up volume button on the remote, and it would work, but then it won't stop working. The volume would go up whenever my phone is pointed at the TV. Even if the app is for closed.
What could this be?

Do you use a specific remote app? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the APK?
Does anything with the app function correctly? Do you have another device to test this to rule out possibilities.
I don't have another device to test out because only have this one with ir scanner, but I could test out another app. Any ones that you know of?
Also haven't tried reinstalling apk

I would try uninstalling to see if that makes a difference.
I don't use one often, only at a certain location: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freeirtv&hl=en
I've had no problems with that yet, been using it for quite some time.
OK thank you

I am seeing the same problem with WatchOn app. If continuously pressed Volume up/down key in UI, it will go on (volume up or down) as long as it is pointing towards TV. I am CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20130929-0506 rom with 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g5f9c80 kernel if it matters.
This is not a rom specific issue as when I was using other AROMA ALPHA rom I was seeing the same issue. When on stock rom it worked well without any issue.

I dunno, cause it worked fine at one point. And I wasn't stock. I have never been stock rom, cause if I root, I always install a rom
