It would be so much easier if like on LiquidSmooth ROM you could press the power button and volume up at the same time to activate video recording and click on a notification to stop it or something, that way I don't have to go through a ton of work to screen record.
We prefer to use an app.

Hi,
I'm fairly new here but I have done a reasonable amount of searching (imo) and have yet to find a result to effectively change songs while listening to music without having to take phone out of pocket (bluetooth devices, and shake2playnext excluded).
I found an app called 'Next Song' which interprets double-presses on the volume - this would be nice, only I haven't been able to make it work successfully (next song popup notification appears but track does not change)
At one point, I used button remapper to remap my camera button to media_next. (was using camera360 at this point with camera button). After the GB update and recent threads, I have wanted to use the SE camera more. Unfortunately, the camera button does not work in SE's camera button without the focus button (must press focus before camera button, then picture will be taken).
If anyone's got a solution let me know please
(remap longpress/volume, double press volume rockers? or take picture without focus button on SE camera?)
Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500
ROM: PWGB2.0 beta
kernel: imoseyon_leanKernel_i500_voodoo_1.4.0
TWlauncher.apk: TouchWizGTG_New_Dock_Colored_Icons_All_Variations.zip
Custom keyboard: HTC_IME_themed_by_gIMpSta.apk
above is what I have done to my phone so far.
need for a different camera after experiencing todays issues. dont know if any of you FABULOUS developers have considered the following camera issue but this is what I realized today & am now searching for solution camera.
when recording footage with phone camera and you need to [pause] for a period, the camera display stays on and helps run battery down. Need to have display go to black after 20 seconds after pausing and returning to displaying image after you press the power button to aid in saving battery power (stupid lock button in this case).
OR be able to hit the power button yourself after pausing recording mode to make display go off until you press power button again to turn on display again.
I tried to film kids at the county fair and needed the pause feature alot and to also conserve battery. pressing the power button just [locks] it....
so I tried pressing home screen after pausing and then pressing the power button to turn off display but then the recording session I had paused would be gone.
Then I tried pausing the recording session and just turning and holding camera lens to my chest thus blocking any light, therefore the screen would be black (dont know if this would effect battery consumption). The problem with that was that before I could press the pause button off to continue to record again the stupid camera would "time out" and then what I had recorded up to then in that segment would be gone yet again..
so... to recap my camera needs. I would like to flash an update that would take away the camera time-out period when pausing, and disable the "LOCK" feature and make that button the display on/off button while NOT turning off the app. and maybe even, if the camera is in [pause mode] and you press the back button a window will pop up asking if intention is to turn off display to save battery while in pause mode or to close camera app.
it may be a placebo effect but I swear the display shows photos and footage
MUCH more brilliant and clear with the PWGB2.0 beta3 ROM...
I love this PWGB ROM....
try it if you havent yet. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.
HOPE SOMEONE COMES THRU.

[EDIT]....NO LONGER USING kernel: imoseyon_leanKernel_i500_voodoo_1.4.0
AND
TWlauncher.apk: TouchWizGTG_New_Dock_Colored_Icons_All_Variations.zip
Removed kernel because I saw no difference in speed and battery efficiency.
Removed TouchWizGTG New_Dock...zip because of too many freeze up and force closes.
Maybe missed this in some other threads, search wasn't helping much though.
Is there a way to either:
A) Make the volume rocker the shutter button? I can zoom on the touch screen (running Alien4)
B) Make the shutter voice activated, say by saying "Cheese" "Click" or something when in the camera app (might be a tasker thing?)?
trying to hit the touch screen shutter button one handed can be a pain in the ass.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Say Cheese.
looks like that can do the voice activated deal, is there a way to make the volume hardware button the shutter button?
Hello
I want a app/widget/etc that as soon as I press it, it starts recording video. Where can i find this quick camcorder like function? Thanks
I know this has been asked too many times, but what I want is (I think) simple, just an app to turn JUST the screen off with a shortcut hardware key (vol up or down or anything), so for example when I click that button while I am recording a video, it continues recording it, or when I am playing a game it continues where I left it because locking the device is not good with some of the games I play. BTW I don't mind if the app needs root. Thanks in advance.
