I am currently running Cyanogenmod 11, latest nightly.
Not sure when there was a change, but I recalled being able to use my volume rocker as a camera shutter button, but recently it appears that it zooms rather than takes a picture. Anybody know why this is? Or how to change it? Even while using cyanogenmod, I recall I used to be able to use the volume as a shutter, but recently I cannot.
Thanks for the help.

Look in the camera settings for a toggle to make the power button the shutter

I've looked and no such option exists. I've attached the camera settings that show up.

Does anyone know how to turn the shutter sound off for Niki?
I've tried the old registry key we used to turn off old htc device like trinity. But it seems that it doesn't work for niki. (the shutter sound option doesn't show up in menu) Does anyone successfuly shut the shutter sound off in Niki?
Thanks for everyone.
when your on the camera mode, tap the screen so you have the icons, bottom right hand side theres is an icon looks like 3 lines, tap that, tap the cog symbol on this page to go into advanced settings there you will find shutter sound where you can toggle it on/off
hope that helps?
thanks. My problem is: I don't have the shutter sound setting option in advanced settings. I know in old htc device, you can modify registry key and make the shutter sound setting show up. But that doesn't seems to work on the new hTC camera program.

what niki do you have? is it an htc one or does it have orange frimware on it? ive not modded my niki in any way and that setting is there on mine. very strange!
that is strange indeed.
I just followed your steps and managed to successfully remove the sound of my Niki.
@kifklf: when you tap the "3 lines", go to the little wheel menu (suppose it's advanced settings). You should get "page 1/3". should be there ...
thanks everyone, but I'm sure I don't have the shutter sound setting in advanced mode. Guess we have different ROM version. But I guess if you can find a way (registry key?) to hide your shutter sound setting then show it up again. Then that's what I need to show up my setting option.
thanks again.
After about month of using my dinc, I've found that I literally never press the opti trackpad button. Is there any way to make this button act as a dedicated camera button (or to set it up to launch a specific app). I've done no customization to my phone thus far (waiting on a stable froyo custom ROM), but I have no problem with rooting or installing a custom ROM in order to get this functionality. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd love to reclaim this currently useless button.
Download Vignette from the market and you can set your trackpad to take pics or you can even tap the screen to take a photo.
I think morph2k4 is talking about having the button work even when you're not in a camera app. So the idea would be, any time you press that button, it would either take a picture or open a camera app. With Vignette, that button only works when you already have the app open.
Exactly right, I want to make that button load up my camera app from anywhere.
You should take this to the development forum, they might be able to help.
So I have clean installed CM 7.0.3 on the MY Touch 4G and tried to use the default camera app and when I run it and then press the hardware camera button the focus square comes up and goes green but when I release the button it doesn't actually take a picture? Any idea how to fix this? The soft button on screen works.
umm... try pushing the camera button down all the way maybe?
Ahh damn, stupid of me. Thanks!
Yesterday I went into a pool and tried to take pictures from my S5, but it was very difficult to activate the shutter under the water.
Does anyone know if there is a MOD to use the power button as the camera shutter or have any other ideas of how to take photos under water?
Thanks

In the settings of the camera you can set the volume keys to take a pic or rec video or zoom.
The default is take pic.
So just use the volume keys. works great

I own a Galaxy Music, and it would be great to use its music button as camera shutter too... is there any post o help you can give me???... thanks
It would be best if some dev can mod the stock s5 camera.apk so that when you press the power button it would take a picture instead of locking the device. No one locks their phone while they're in the camera app, because they're gonna take pics so the power button is the perfect button for such a mod Please someone make this mod!
Is it possible to press hardware button like volume up or volume down to launch camera when phone is not ON ?
I could not find a way to assign key to camera.
Nope. Just the shortcut on the lock screen.

You can set the fingerprint reader to take a picture when holding it while in the camera app.

If you use nova launcher, you can setup a "double tap" of the home button to open the camera .
I hope that they add this to the next release of the software. I think that double-clicking the power button to launch the camera is a default function in Marshmallow and I am not sure why they disabled it.
If I tap twice on the power button when screen is off, it launches the camera. EU version on B05 (worked on B03 too I think).
Are you rooted?
No, as stock as it can be.

This sounds perfect and I wish I could do this on an A2017U running B27.
