I want to use my earphone bluetooth to take pics - Hardware Hacking General

I'd like that when a press vol+ on my bluetooth earphone the camera of my nexus 5 will take pic.
Is there a way to get this using some app or changing something in the file system?

Check out Tasker. You may be able to do something like that with it.

How to use our phone to its fullest potential?

We have this amazing phone, it can do everything but I know I don't use the phone to its fullest potential. All I did with my phone was flash a custom rom, customize the look, play games and web browse. I know there's so many other things this phone can do, for example have your computer connected to your device. So you can edit your playlist and it will do it automatically on your phone. So I just want to hear cool things you guys do with your phone and maybe we can help each other out.
Well I use mighty text to send messages and make calls from my PC through my phone! If you haven't tried it yet.. you're really missing something! And I use Air droid to do most of the other stuff between my phone and PC!
Have you ever tried Bluestacks? You can download that to your PC and use all your app's on your PC! I use what's app mute on my computer than my phone!

Fullest potential? I regret saying this, but a touchwiz ROM is a good start, :/

Sorry to disappoint you but this phone doesn't do much more than other phone. It just do it faster and better. But it all depends on the apps. I have yet to see an app ONLY for the i9300.

[Q] How to minimize incoming calls?

I moved from iphone 3s to Nexus 4 :victory:
But...how do I mute and then minimize incoming calls on my nexus?
I'm having a hard time finding it.
Thanks ahead of time
You just press the home button. To mute just press the middle button with all the phone options.

hmm...I'm using NOVA launcher and that doesn't seem to work with it. Any idea why?
When I want to mute, I just press Volume up or down.
It doesn't matter what launcher you're using. The dialer is an app.
Does it look like this?

How to get back up to the top of the App Draw

This had been bugging me for ages and I just couldn't find a solution....until by accident. So i thought there might be other out there also wondering.
Q. How do you get from the bottom of the APP Draw back to the top without having to scroll all the way up?
A. Just double tap the notification bar! that's it.
You only need to tap once
Also works for blinkfeed

Almost every stock app list on the device ( contacts , call history , sms , mail , gallery .. etc )
and you gotta try two finger scrolling on these apps ..
It doesn't work in the gallery for me

[Q] Permanently disable wifi?

Is there a way to disable WiFi in Data programming (or somewhere else) so it can't be used? Or a setting I can change to just disable all data and then change back to normal to fix later down the road?

Oh I thought the data programming was the name of the menu you get from the short code in the phone dialer. My terms are probably way off. My bad
