    Using the Camera button for music control :)

    Sometimes it helps to talk to myself and actually listen to what I'm saying. For those that don't eat their Wheaties and have trouble with hard Camera button presses, it is possible to remap the soft Camera button too. So to make another improvement to the mod, the "key 56 FOCUS...

    Using the Camera button for music control :)

    Ok, this mod worked well with the default music player and music mod. Skip function could be a bit difficult to master for several different reasons: 1) Camera button hard presses is required (all the way down). 2) Time between click must be fast (otherwise it'll be like single clicks)...

    The original way the Camera button work is that it's actually two buttons in one. After the camera app is started, press it soft to focus then press harder to take a pic. You're not loosing anything because focusing can be done be tapping a region on the screen. Then take a picture by...

    Using the Camera button for music control :)

    I made a little improvement to the mod by adding "WAKE". The idea here is even if the the music player is not already going, wake up the phone first. Seems to help for this case, but it doesn't always work, not sure why. A more sure way to get the music player going from this state is to...

    Using the Camera button for music control :)

    If you are using my mod above, do not modify the file: /system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl That way the headset clicker still operates the phone. When you get a call while listening to music, you can answer with that clicker. The music will pause and continue when the call ends. Perfect...

    Using the Camera button for music control :)

    Well I tried the mod to try to get the clicker on the headset to pause/start/skip the music player. It does not work for me, anybody got this to work? http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/32646-headset-inline-control-problem-3.html I found an alternate way and it actually worked...
