[Camera] [Mod] Armani + power button focusing + video recording

---

Time for a big update to this post.

The andromeda roms have now a camera that not only uses the power button for taking stills, but also for video recording.

More interestingly, the power button in still images function now as the grey button on the display, i.e., one quick press takes a still as is, while a long press focuses until the key is released, and then takes the still.


The second mod required a change in android.policy.jar to prevent the power button long press to bring the power menu up. Thus, it will only work in the andromeda rom unless other rom developers decide to implement the change also.


You can find the diffs between the original armani camera app and this one attached here. For the actual app, please take a look at the andromeda page for the reason stated above.

I will explain the changes in posts below (20-23) so I don't clutter this one too much.
GlobalActions.smali is part of android.policy.jar, while the other three belong to the camera app.

BTW: This does not belong any more to Q&A. Dear Mods, would you please move the thread to a more suitable forum (apps or dev)?

+1, how do I do this?

subscribed...

Same here... Any rom removes this?

subscribed... really, that is annoying...

If this helps in the search:

I installed dropbox, and noticed that dropbox now shows as one of the upload options. This suggests (to me) that there is a configuration file or database entry somewhere where this was added.

If we can find out where, there is a possibility of just removing the lockbox entry.

I doubt that its built into the app, they would want to sell this to different providers, and each will have (or not) its own version of the AT&T lockbox.

I did spend an hour or so this morning perusing databases, but didn't find anything.

Lol! I almost forgot about this thread already! So many roms now and I always saw that button that I learned to be careful

I just decompiled it and this is what I found:

$:~/android/apk_manager/out$ grep -i -r -n 'locker' *
res/values/strings.xml:271:    <string name="menu_qsend">Send to Online Locker</string>

I'll dig a little more into it

On JPY, the Video says "Camera Failed" and exits the app. Pictures work fine.

EDIT: The stock camera app is doing that too... so it's not a problem with this.

I don't think it's a jpy problem. I just tested on Doc's rom and the video works fine. On glitterballs kernel in case it's important.
