I'm using Carbon ROM, which is based on AOSP, on my Xperia S LT26ii.
It's a good ROM but the stock camera is bad at focusing so I switched to Google Camera.
But although I select Google Camera as the default camera app, what the hardware camera button calls is still the stock one. If I disable the stock camera, it will call nothing after a long pressing of the button.
How to make the hardware button call Google Camera?

Haven't tried it myself, but I think Xposed Additions can be used for this.

Are there any tweaks for camera in Galaxy Nexus running stock Jelly Bean to take pictures using the power button instead of the on screen button and use volume rocker to zoom in/out without loosing their functionality ie they act like shooter and zoom in/out buttons when in camera and when not using camera like power and volume rocker? And even if possible burst mode?

You can take pictures while recording by tapping the screen on video mode
Little search will give you results like this..

On the stock JellyBean nope there is not. Some ROMS do have the option to change it.
Or you can buy this small app from the PlayStore called Camera ICS + which allows you to change the Volume+/- functionnality.

But it completely changes power button to camera shooter. Can't I make it switch its functionality automatically when I'm in camera and when I'm not? So that I don't have to change it every time and also it reboots every time I change it. And what happens if I don't check the option to hot reboot after the changes are applied?

Edit. Aokp nightly I'm trying now has same option
Are there any apps available that allows you to use the nexus 4 hardware keys (volume up, volume down) as camera buttons such as a shutter button. All solutions so far require a camera app replacement but none work on the stock camera app. It would be a really nice feature to use the volume keys as a shutter button on the stock camera app.
There is a ROM on the Galaxy Nexus called Cataclysm which has the stock Google (with Photosphere) app modified to use power button for shutter and volume for zoom. Would be nice if someone did something similar for the Nexus 4...
EDIT: I've PM'd the dev of the GNex ROM to see if he can mod the N4 camera app. Here's hoping!

Hey there,
I had an camera app (I think it was google camera) in which buttons could be used like in thread title.
That doesn't work anymore. Power button brings my moto g to sleep and zoom buttons take pictures.
Is this a change in the app?
Any recommendations? other app, flashing .zip, etc.......
no one?
In fact, it was a modified AOSP Camera made by Slimroms or someone else, but it does have those settings in the Menu when you press the O button, then the switches, and then the last choice, that'd bring you to a menu in which all those settings will be.

Then it's the AOSP one then, there's no options like that in the AOSP one...
I've downloaded the latest gcam port and it works great on my RN8, problem is I cannot launch it with any of the default shortcuts, double press on power or double vol down press.
I can make it the default camera app through MIUI but it has no bearing on launching it as default camera app so in effect making it the default app is pointless.
The lockscreen camera button doesn't lauch it eaither despite again being the default app?
Any ideas anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller....................??

Really, 190 odd views & nobody out there knows??
If you disable the stock cams app so it leaves gcam as the only camera app would it make any difference , Just guessing as i have a moto G7 power

MIUI explicitly calls the stock camera, even if GCam is set as default the stock camera (com.android.camera) will be started.
Your best bet is to install a custom AOSP based ROM.
