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.

Every screenshot app seems to work correctly. When I go into the gallery I see LG boot logo with the blue progress bar under it as the screenshot. Every app does this! Tried shootme,drocap2, couple more. Has anyone experienced this?
Edit: interesting maybe I should read the manual. Still kinda weird that those apps don't work.

I believe someone mentioned power + home takes screenshots. Apparently it is in the manual that no one reads.

there is a way to take screen shot on the G2x without any other app, just press the home button and the power button at the same time and the phone will take a screenshot of the active screen.
Good stuff! Thanks!!

This would be a cool app to have.
you might be able to find one that uses a volume button, like the iphone. im not sure you can have one that uses the power button as it would end up turning off the screen every picture. i dont know of any camera replacements anyways.
sorry am new to Andriod ,.... so pls forgive .......
BUT WHY use pwoer button to take pic ? Just curious
I thought the 'touch' is nicer

The sheer size of the Infuse makes use of the hardware power button helpful. When holding the device to take a picture, it is easier to hold the edges and tap the power button than holding it and tapping on the screen. For me anyway.
I can chip in my two cents worth and say a unnamed Dev was working on getting power button shutter working on the infuse a few nights ago. So in due time maybe we will see a thread with a modified camera.apk. They were having issues keeping the phone from going to lockscreen, so maybe after the holiday weekend we might see results. Overheard on irc.

Does this work on the Rogers version of Infuse 4G? or just for AT&T?
I just flashed to sky ics yesterday and I everythings works fine except I cannot take a screen cap and I have tried both method, volume down with power and power with home button. Also I can't seem to have my home keys button vibrate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

How exactly are you trying to take the screenshot?? Are you pressing power + home at the same time and holding?? I just tried it and it worked
And as far as the vibrating goes, is "vibrate on screen tap" checked under sound settings??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
home+power . Timing is a little more critical than it should be AFAIK.. push power a split second before home and hold both for a second or so.

Thank You guys for that quick reply
The Vibrate thing was just me being stupid and could not turn it back on Thanks lilair and stoopendis, but yea i tried everything with the screen cap and still doesn't work, it used to work fine with just power button and home before i flash. My buddy who also flashed to sky ics and his screen cap worked fine too, he also has the same update.
Geez that's too bad. I gotta tell you though... it took me a while to get the sequence/timing down. I swore up and down it didn't work! But persistance paid off and I have my sc now although sometimes it takes a fee trys.

i know it isnt a fix but i used to use an app called "screenshot" from the app store..it allowed you to shake the phone to get a screenshot
Yea think I will just do Third party app or just flash to CNET just for fun lol

The easiest way to screencap on ICS is press home for a split second then hold power for roughly half a second while still pressing Home.
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.
