Can we use a hardware button for camera?

Hi guys,
so, do you know of any trick or mod or app to do that?
I mean when taking a picture to use a hardware button?
Thanks.

There was an app for this on WinMo, you could use the volume buttons to take a photo instead.
I'd love to see this for Android (would it be phone specific? Not universal? If its even possible)

Third party camera apps allow you to assign a hardware button (RetroCamera lets you use either vol-up or vol-down). But I haven't seen the ability to have the built-in camera app assign a hardware shutter release.

I will try that one see how it works.

Hack request: camera button play/pause

I don't know if this is possible but I'm hopeful.
Could someone modify the stock music app to allow the camera button to play/pause the music *when the screen is off*? I know the volume rocker can adjust the music volume when the screen is off, but this camera mod would be sweet.
Any capable hackers out there? Out any advice?

Tasker can do that, as well. Expensive app, but well worth the capabilities.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
One better. I use tasker to open the camera when I rotate from portrait to landscape. Tasker is amazing.

Quick camera launch??

Is there a way to launch the camera w/out lighting the screen and sliding the quick action? Last LG I had was the G2 and I could hold the down volume.

Double Tap on volume down does it.

Thanks I didn't even know that.

Disable camera from lockscreen

This stupid phone takes pictures all the time. Figured out if you press the volume key while the phone is locked it takes a picture. Please tell me how to stop this.

Assuming you're on stock rom, go to device Settings and look for Shortcuts. I'm using a custom rom and I forgot under which exact menu option you can find the hardware button Shortcuts settings but it's there, along with other power and volume button preset shortcuts that you can disable.

Thank you so much
