Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

this is really getting interesting
i think it would be in perfect order if:
1-long press on power button when on stand by turns on flash light and off when short press after that
2-short press on power button unlocks the device.
3- when camera is opened use power button for shooting with focus
4- when player is opened power button for pause and resume and volume button + for next track when short pressed and forward when long pressed, volume button - previous track when short pressed and rewind when long pressed.

guess for the camera shooting from stand by screen it could be double press on power button or something ?

if we could all agree on a pattern for the buttons then a dep file could be made with that pattern code and uploaded to the store so all N9 users could enjoy it and even for profit to who ever would like to make it :)

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

The useful portion would be pressing button X and getting the device to unlock AND launch the camera app. From that point on, using something like the Vol+ as Camera button app would work (or your existing code).

The entire idea revolves around one handed operation... while cycling in my case. Trying to find the shutter button on screen, holding it down, and waiting for it to focus before releasing tends to be very difficult :D

oh thats easy as pie. ill add that to the list of hard-coded actions you can change in the config file, when {and if} i actually make this into a gui-configged app.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

in order for the power button to do all these things, it would need to not lock/unlock the screen. i personally like its single-naturedness and am fine using vol+/- for everything.

also, i really wanna know what buttons people want, but no consensus need be reached; it should be configurable {preferably without coding}.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

I would suggest:
1 - c) press and hold vol+ to turn on the flash, release to turn it off
2 - double tap on + to next, double tap on - for previous. press both together for pause (is it possible? physically yes)
4 - camerra hack is extremely slow for me to use, really. need to find out something more quick. toggling camera from lockscreen is a good ideal

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

Can you also change the Vol up and the Vol down button to force the volume instead of changing the profile?

It's very annoying, see this bug what I mean:

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

My suggest:

1. exactly like yours, the best option for flashlight imo
2. Agreed too. Double tap vol+/- next/prev sounds good, but pause... it's hard to push both exactly same time. If not possible, its ok. i rarely use the pause option and it isn't so bad to do it on the usual way.
3. hold down vol- for camera use. possibility to open camera app, focus and take a picture.

Of course the best option would be possibility to choose by yourself one command for one action with UI.
Like this:

A. flashlight: choose option (1.long press vol+-, 2.double press vol,3.... etc)

B. next/previous track: 1...2...3.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

have you tried to push both buttons at once? :) I am doing it right now, it is not a problem.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

It depens how responsive it is. (delay) if you don't have to push exactly the same time, its ok for me.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor
 

yea, but try doing it while driving/jogging/etc. for me, play/pause and skip are the two most important features.
