[MOD][Camera][JB v8 / ICS v6][27/02] Power and Volume buttons as a shutter and more..

---

Hi,

This is my first MOD

Latest update 27/02/2013

• Based on Latest Official Note JB 4.1.2 XXLSZ firmware.
• Volume and Power keys as a shutter (no burst shot with power key).
• Volume keys as shutter in Camcorder as follows: Volume Up start recording, Volume Down stop recording.
• Power key as shutter in Camcorder will just start recording.
• Shutter sound will be off/on in all cases using Camera according to menu selection.

Notes:

• Please test it and let me know if it works well and in which ROMs, I have nowhere to test it myself
• It's only for Samsung Stock / Custom JB/ICS ROMs
• To make it run on ODEXED JB ROMs, backup and remove the SamsungCamera.odex file from system/app (the script should do it automatically).
• To make it run on ODEXED ICS ROMs, backup and remove the Camera.odex file from system/app (the script should do it automatically).
• DO NOT install JB mod on ICS ROM and vice-versa! it simply won't work
