Due to the power button issues with the Nexus One I would like to see an app developed for adding a power button widget to limit the amount of abuse our physical power buttons must endure.
With all the great devs here on XDA, I am sure that someone will be able to get this app up and running for all of us Nexus One owners. (Tmo, AT&T, Verizon, etc.)
Launch Market. Search for "reboot control" and there you have it: a widget that lets you reboot, power down, reboot into recovery, wipe handset, reboot into bootloader.
and an app to turn off your screen instead of hitting the power button or waiting for it to go into standby?

Yes, as well as the other common power button controls
Are there any reboot apps that don't require ROOT?

no need for an app.
just click vol-down, trackball and the power button all at the same time and it'll reboot.

Thanks for the tip! I do like a software solution though as well. My question still stands, is there a power button widget that doesn't require rooting my new phone?

I don't think there is. If you can't run reboot in a terminal without root access then I doubt there is an app that can do it.
I would love a widget that would allow you to cut off the screen.
After trackball wakeup trick we only need widget to put phone in sleep and i'll surely forget about power button who is very hard to reach one handed
Anybody?

CM-based ROMs have that option. :good:
It used to be possible to long press on the task button and get the menu for most apps.
What happened to it?
Long pressing the back button brings up the menu for my Galaxy S7.

I had a piece of plastic on the home button that would not let me setup the fingerprint option but nothing on the back or menu buttons.

Long press on the back button works for me. I have on app. Shopping List that used the left side as a menu button but that won't work now so I tried long pressing the back button here too. No go. It acts as if I repeatedly pressed the back button. I ended up leaving a review for it saying they needed to update it for Marshmallow.

Thanks a bunch. Need the menu button to search bookmarks in xmarks mobile.
I have the sm-g930f. long press back button does not bring up menu. Installed Nova Launcher long press back button brings up menu now.
Mine flashes whilst holding the back button but doesnt stay...
Can any1 tell me where's the settings options to press/click when u r in a app or home screen? Normally just either holding recent or back button.
Are you talking about the menu button? That's been depreciated for a while. The few apps that still need it have an extra button on the navbar. Home menu stuff is accessed through long presses.

Damn, this sucks. Yes, 3 dot menu button. I have an app doesn't show menu button.
For home screen long press all those 3 nav buttons, none working. Except, long press home button, Google now pops up.

I don't know about the app. I suppose you could use something like Button Savior to create a menu button.
What are you trying to do with your home screen? Try long pressing an empty space to get launcher options.

Yep, thought about button savior. Not much options.
Shoot, wish there's 3 dot menu options available at all times without rooting the phone. Bummer.

It is in the settings
Is it possible to take a screenshot in places where you shouldn't? For example I'd like to take a screenshot while I'm using chrome incognito mode.
Maybe there's a magisk module or an app to trick this.
Why not just press Volume Down and the Power Key for a second?
