Dedicated Camera Keys
Please take caution when using MagicKey, you do not want to remap a key that is vital to your phone operation.
Programs
MagicKey
Smartphoneware Tracker(optional)
MagicKey Instructions
Open MagicKey.
Add Camera to the App List.
Now press right and go to the KeyMap List.
Add a new list name it something(Ex: camera).
Open the newly created KeyMap.
Create the following pairs.
- 162 > 16 (VolumeUp->Up arrow)
- 163 > 17 (VolumeDown-> Down arrow)
- 227 >167 (Application1A->OK)
Now go back to the App List
Select Camera and choose your new KeyMap.
Close MagicKey
Now if done correctly when the camera is open you should be able to zoom in and out using the volume keys and the voice command key should act as a shutter.
Tracker Instructions
Now tracker will be used to have the voice command button to open the camera.
Open Tracker
Add a new Application
Click Hotkey and now press the Voice Command Key
It will say CameraShutter2.
Now press done.
Now when the Voice Command Key is press the camera will open, and since MagicKey remaps the keys it will now act like a dedicated camera key.
Problems with doing this
Now if you do this you will lose the Voice Command function on that key, So you can opt to skip the tracker portion in order to keep the voice command.
You can also access the voice command by holding down the right selection key but it doesn't work on all screens.
You will also not be able to use the Voice Command while the camera is open due to MagicKey remaping the keys.
Other Notes
It is possible to remap the voice command key to a different key. So if you don't use the calendar key you can have the calendar key act as the voice command key. You just have to remap the Voice Command Key to an unused key in MagicKey under the default keymap and set the Calendar as the Voice Command Key.
I believe the number for the Voice Command Key is 227, you can also search for it in the list in MagicKey.
If for some reason your keys are not changed you may have left MagicKey open. Once MagicKey is closed you keys will be remapped.
Why Tracker?
The only reason I am using Tracker to do this is because I have not been able to find a hotkey app that will allow me to use single button to open apps. It also supports long and short presses. If anyone knows of any alternatives please let me know, I have already tried Cute Keys and Phone Shortcuts but they don't work in this case.
