I don't know if anyone here uses dropcap to get screen captures. I have tried to get a screen capture several times only to find that the picture is of the lg booting screen. Anyone else run into this same problem?

Press the Home button+power button to take screenshots of your screen, no need for any other application
Awesome thanks a lot

Sorry, can't help you there. There are some apps on the Market that take screen shots but I can't recommend any since I never have problems with the built in one.

Try shootme. Its not in the market any more, but i've found the apk before here on xda.

I don't think the previous responders get your question. Some roms do support custom boot animations, there are a few threads on the site that explain how to do this. Feel free to look some up.
I think he wants a button in the shut down menu that will take a screenshot of whatever is under the menu. Haha not sure ...

Similar to what is available in CM7? Don't know how that is integrated, but it would require a decent amount of smali work to get it accomplished.
Obviously the title doesn't say it all. Haha

i know its late bute Drocap2 (probably have to get the apk from a search as it was pulled from the market) will let you have a notification bar trigger, map screenshotting to the search button, and has a shake trigger if that helps

Honestly, it's a timing issue... I used to have a hard time getting shots by holding Back and then hitting Home, but I've gotten MUCH better at it. It's all in the timing of how you do it, the best way i can explain it is to press back and kind of say "one one-thousand" to yourself then tap Home without moving your finger off of Back. You'll here the camera shutter sound and it'll be saved to your SD card in a folder for screen shots.
This is the only way I take my shots and it works fine, provided you've got the timing down (also, I've only used Froyo ROMs).

There are still some things you'll never get a screenshot with. Why not just use one of the screen capture apps like DroCap or Shootme? There are likely hundreds more that do the same thing as well.

Well known "bug", you should really search your devices forums. Basically it's from Voice app that Samsung has bound to double tapping the home button. Look in your device's dev forums probably best bet.
Thx. Doing that now. But one thing though this never happened to me before. This annoying bug Started today

Ok so to start off I am a noon learning as I go so bare with me. But the usual shortcut (pressing home/power) for taking screen shots doesn't seem to work right now. I've only just noticed this since I don't take screen shots too often but I would like to know is there a fix for this? Or did I miss something wen i installed CM10...Other than that it's a solid build and I've enjoyed it so far with no other issues.

That might be a touchwiz feature, i'm not entirely sure. Somebody who's used CM10 on the galaxy should probably chip in
Its an option on the power button now
Settings > system > power button > check screenshot

Sweet. Ok so I've changed that setting but am still unable to take screen shots. Do I need to reboot for it to take action?

Screenshot for AOSP ROMs is always volume- + power. It's power+home on TW ROMs.

For the last year or so my lock button has gotten harder to press and doesn't have that "click" feel to it. Does anybody know why this is or how to fix it?
EDIT: my power button stopped working all together. If anybody knows how to fix this or turn my phone on without adb(to switch batteries), it would be greatly appreciated.

take off you back cover and see if the plastic button got somehow trim
try also to press the power button with a toothpick or with your finger
to check if you have the same hard pressing
I have 2 back covers and both of them seem fine. How can you tell if they got trim? I used my finger and a sharp object, they both turn it on but it feels the same

hmm, i don't know what else to suggest
did the device ever fell from your hands and hit in that spot?
if yes maybe it can cause that issue
well i tried to clean out the dust with a can of air and it blew out this little film thing and now it doesnt work at all hahaha but i got the device set up to use the vol up button as a power button but it is only recognized when it is powered on. does anybody know how to boot the device without adb? im currently using adb to start but its a pain to have a computer around to start the phone. i switch batteries a lot so its really inconvenient. btw i noticed that the phone doesnt turn off if you remove the battery in bootloader if it has a usb cable plugged in but i cant select any of the options without a power button
