Is there a way to take screen shots on gingerbread with out an app? Or the sdk way? Like maybe a script or something? I know it's sorta possible on gingerbread. Like on some manufacturer themes like touchwiz 4 and lgs one. But touchwiz 3 on galaxy s doesn't so is there a way?

Hi Dude,
try HOME + BACK it should work.
first keep pressing back button and then press home. it will work.
cheers,
You can use the SDK + Eclipse (ADT plugin) to make screenshots from your computer.
That HOME + BACK button combo worked great to capture screenshots on my Gingerbread 2.3.3 SGS.
Cheers!

Does anyone know of a screen shot app that uses the designated camera button to take the shot? I would love to have something like this because I changed my hardware buttons around. Thanks

There is an app in the market called Drocap2. You need root access to use it, but it takes a screenshot when you shake your phone. Not exactly using the camera button, but as far as i know, there isnt a camera button on the hero.
Hope that helped!

ya if you reformat your keys.
I have it when I hold search button down it goes to my camera. aka camera button.
well you've already mapped that key to take you to the camera so it doesn't make sense that you would then want to take a screen shot with that same button. why not just map a screen shot program to a button?
Everytime i press the home button it takes a screen shot anyone know how to correct this. Im. On energy ROM if that matters

Hi, maybe try this disabling the snapshot by : Edit your build.prop file in /sytem and change: From true to ---->
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false
if still no fix... flash another rom
Hope I helped you
This seems to be a very frequent problem in some of the newer roms. I believe the screen shot should occur if you hold the power and home button together however the phone thinks the power button is pressed at times and so takes a screen shot when you press home. Try holding the power and home button and taking a few screen shots and it should stop it from taking a screen shot with just home button for a while. If not then change the rom. I haven't used the particular rom you're using so I'm not sure if it here is a option to turn off the screen shot. I would suggest trying coredroid...love the rom and you can turn off the screen shot feature if it starts to act up..
hey all...i just flashed clean rom 5 and it's working great, however, I cant seem to figure out how to take a screen shot. I've searched the forums and cannot seem to find an answer. Can anyone help? I've tried power and home screen and still nothing...thanks!
How about the palm-swipe?
Lay the side of your hand on the left side of the screen and swipe it all the way to the right side of the screen.
It needs the motions enabled in the Motion control panel, and it's all the way at the bottom of the screen.
Or you could just use the screenshot command that is built into Android ICS and JellyBean.
Simultaneous press the Home button and the Power button to take a screen shot.

Press Home and Power simultaneously, and HOLD until it takes the screenshot (only takes a second or so). This feature is absolutely present in CleanROM. It has also active in every stock build of TouchWIZ that Samsung has put out for our device.

I tried it again and it worked. I must have not been hitting the Home and Power button simultaneously in my previous attempts. Thanks again.:good:

Yeah, like he said you just gotta hold it a sec or two. It's not as responsive as snapping a normal picture thru the camera for instance.

Hello xda developers,
I just flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly which installed android 4.2 onto my Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113. I am really happy with this update as I was able to keep my tablet rooted and upgrade to Jelly Bean. However, I am not sure about how to either add or setup a screenshot button like I had in the stock Samsung android ICS. is a screenshot setting available for Jelly Bean version 4.2? I would like to set up a screenshot option so that i can take a screenshot at anytime.
I thank you all for your help and assistance

Search in settings -> system -> power menu -> and ativate "screenshot" option.
Then if you long press power buton you will have the option to take a SS.
oh so thats how you do it...
Duarte777 thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate your help with this. Do you know if its possible to add a button so that it can do the screenshots instead of having to use the power button constantly? If anyone knows how I might be able to add that function I would be very
grateful.
Thanks

Pressing Volume Down + Power at the same time makes a screenshot.
Works on all Stock Android style ROMS like CM and AOSP.

i'm using that trick too
pressing power + volume down at the same times
okay okay...
I have been using the power button to take my screenshots, but what I really want to know is how I can add a button on the bottom menu with the back button and home button so that button can be my screenshot button. If anyone knows how to do that I would be really grateful. I tried adding a button but all I can add is a menu button or a blank button or a search button. I did that from settings...
Any ideas?...

That has been removed. The menu button will appear only if necessary and needed by the app itself. If you don't seem to find the menu button, it might be embedded in the app itself. The menu button on the navigation bar will appear at the left-most corner. A 3 horizontal line with a small triangle.
So it seems like..it has already been removed..and also the screen grab shortcut aswell hmmm anyways thanks for the input though

Any idea how to flip the multitask and back buttons ? Isn't it weird that the back button is now on the right ? Why would Samsung do that ?
My menu button on GT-6210 hardly ever shows up no matter which app I'm using & it's totally random when it decides to show back up (using stock honeycomb.) I got so annoyed by not having it when I needed it so I bought an app called called button survivor from the market. I think it needs root permission but now I can use that to open the menu whenever I need it.

So did they remove quick launch options in the display settings removed on jellybean?
Settings/display/quick launch
I don't have jellybean so I can't check but if they they removed the quick launch option & removed the screenshot shortcut that is very disappointing and makes no sense at all.
