Camera button broken = No way to take video?

[whohasaquestion]

Hi everyone, I posted this question in another forum but got aboslutely no response. Hopefully, the grass is greener over here.

Please someone tell me there is a soft button or a way around to take video without the camera button. I figure I can still take picture by pressing the screen. However, in video mode, pressing screen doesn't do anything.

Mine is under a 2-year warranty, I wonder if I exchange to MS Store, will they give me a Window Phone 8? Hehe...one can hope.

It looks like I need to unclock and put on a custom rom in order to apply WINTT.

Sorry, i haven't tried any of the custom rom, was waiting for the official 7.8 update. Which custom rom should I try? I am kind of leaning toward the Nokia version due to its apps.

If you have to unlock your phone using GoldCard method - than you have no chance - this method uses Vol Down + Camera buttons sequence for entering USB Host mode.
