Take picture with volume keys in stock photo app

I just did a restart my phone and SnapTap stopped working. Now if I'm in the camera app all I see is the volume changing and biteSMS.
It was working earlier today with my iPhone 4. When ever I'd press a volume button it would take a picture without adjusting the volume or showing anything on the screen.
In fairness to the Dev it does say it's compatible with iOS4 but not the iPhone 4, yet. It was working earlier today but I guess he's got a few more things to work out.

I just did restart and its still working, sorry to hear that
The creator of the app has it well stated that it does not work for iPhone4 yet, so maybe that is just a bug until he gets it working, which should be soon I would think.

It was working up until an hour ago. I demonstrated it to someone and then went to Settings>SnapTap>turn off shutter sound and it stopped working. Even if I turn the shutter sound back on it does nothing.
If you haven't messed with that setting then leave it alone. Maybe that's the hot button for iPhone 4 incompatibility.
I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck. I'll have to wait it out until the update.
Based on this thread I went ahead and downloaded SnapTap. No more struggling to find the shutter button on my iPhone 4. Works great! Now back to watching Netflix on my iPhone...another great "mod"!
Tried it; buggy as hell on my iPhone 4 running 4.0. It would take pics when I touched the screen to focus, or sometimes at random when I moved the phone. Not worth it.
Also, to disable, the instructions listed are incorrect. The URL should include the word "disable", not "disenable"--figured that out when I decided to take it off. Camplus://disablevolumesnap will remove the workaround.
Bummer. I was hoping Apple would approve that feature, but it seems they're dead set against it. I'd rather use Camera+ for their touch exposure feature than the regular app, so unless something like SnapTap works with other apps, looks like I'm out of luck on this one.
Edit: oddly enough, after disabling and re-enabling the hack, it's behaving fine. Not even affecting the ringer volume at all, no longer randomly taking shots. Weird. I'll have to see about a longer test with it to see if the issues come back.
Haven't noticed any problems here (in the short time I've tried it). "Stabilizer Mode" wasn't enabled by chance?
Nope--because though I bought the app originally for that feature, turns out I never use it. Can't hold my hands steady enough half the time for it to ever take a shot. LOL
For now, it's working fine; if the glitches come back, I'll see if I can figure out why. I imagine Apple's going to come after them on this one though, and the next upgrade won't have this kind of backdoor. Guess I'll either enjoy it while it lasts, or just never be able to upgrade again!
Decided to buy SnapTap and it works perfectly on my iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0. My first Cydia purchase.
I previously posted that SnapTap worked and then stopped working for me. Well it's working again.
I tried installing it several times with no change. Then just minutes ago I installed it once more and still nothing. So I went to Setting>SnapTap and turned it off then back on. It's working!
If anyone ever has trouble just give that a try and hopefully it'll be helpful.

It does use MobileSubstrate. I believe SnapTap is only activated when using camera applications. After about 10 days of using it I haven't noticed any battery drain difference.
