Well, hi. :) Who says that we don't have a dedicated camera shutter button now? I mean it's no two-stage shutter button, but it works! Both volume keys are now shutter keys in the camera app. Maybe I can try making one of them a 'focus' button and the other a shutter?

Anyway, it is one less thing the EVO LTE guys have to their advantage, kinda. Download it below.

This is the version for the Note II's camera app, which is far superior to our own camera app anyway.

Other mods this includes:
-Removed low battery warning that makes the camera not work
-Removed low battery warning that makes the camcorder not work
-Removed low battery warning that makes the flash not work

Note: This is for Jelly Bean DeDdexed ROMs. If anyone wants to Odex it, that would be awesome. :)

How-to for devs:
Coming soon.
I gotta say man, I love tryin new stuff out but even more fun is seeing how its done. I LOVE the way you post up not only the mod itsself, but the "how-to" that makes it work.

May I be so bold as to suggest (ask :) ) that maybe one of the next tutorials you do be on how to decifer smali files? I can pretty much wrap my head around the XML's....but the smalis really get me stumped. I am trying to study up on the opcodes but it is still tough to understand the flow. Just asking :) Keep the cool stuff coming!

Thanks Freeza!

Same here. On stock rom...rooted of course.
I flashed but volume just zooms

I'm guessing you guys are both on Odexed ROMs. I'll have to create a separate flash for odexers. :)

Cool mod but can you make a volume key zoom with power button shutter?

Hmm, I'm not sure that the power key is remappable in this particular app. But i will give it a try, it's in a better place to be a shutter button that's for sure.

Thanks that's all I was missing from my evo works great on free sonic.
Is there a way to make the home or power button toggle, and leave volumes as the zoom?

Safe to say that the volume buttons only work as shutter when the camera is on?

Is it a normal volume button wjenbthe camera is not on?
