please consider using the Q & A thread for questions about specific roms....
Make sure the feature is built into the ROM, if not there are apps on the market that will allow you to take screen shots. I know the ROM i'm using has the option for a screen shot in the advanced power menu. Other roms have it as a combination of volume rocker buttons and the power button. But like I said be sure its a feature built in.
yes i want do that too

I am running icbinb 2.3.7, I have spent the last hour trying to add a power menu mod, to have the ability to go into recovery, download mode, reboot, and all the other features that come with this mod. I have ran into a roadblock it's a little bit more difficult than I had expected, anyone else have any pointers or help. I am using this forum but I am still lost http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406207. Anyone care to help? Thanks!

You are the greatest man! I really am trying to learn, but thanks so much! You guys are amazing at making roms, themes, mods. I do telephone communication for the Marines and I figured I could do both, but my job and what you do for fun are way two different things lol!
Curious
So did you ever end up finding out how to add power menu, i have been searching to see if anyone has made a tweak or something even flashable with cwm but havent succeded yet. Otherwise I guess my next step is to start looking into android dev and seeing the makeup of the files myself and taking a stab at it. Can anyone provide any help or pointers in the right direction? thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: Found a working mod link after forever, on like page 132 or something of the updated icbinb rom, lol.
Any change a developer could do a mod to add the Galaxy Nexus navigation buttons to the screen? I for one don't like the physical home button and would really like the screen buttons. If the unoffical AOKP rom had the standard AOKP custom nav button mod I would be all over it but seeing how it's unofficial/alpha and the CM10 roms are very alpha I'd rather wait. Based on the info I found it's relatively easy mod if you know how to decomplie and recompile the framework-res.apk. I attempted to do this but kept running into issues and my limited knowledge of Android development (to say the least) seems to be the biggest huddle.
IMO, I'd still like the native button active but others would prefer them disabled.

It won't work on the stock ROM. But it works in CM10, I have it on my phone and am loving them. Just like my old Nexus.
I know the mod in the link I provided will not work on the stock rom. Thanks for your most value input and stating what is outright obvious for the mod in the link. No reason a developer couldn't create a mod that does work with the stock rom though. Already using a few mods on my stock rom.

There might actually be a reason. The framework is totally different.

Of course the framework is different, one is TouchWise and one is CM9/CM10 but that has absolutely nothing to do with a developer modifying the stock TW framework-res.apk with this mod. Why do users who have no clue keep adding their useless 2 cents? I now understand why the developers get so frustrated and the development forum in highly moderated!
Here a new thread to shows how to do this mod on any ROM. If I had the experience of decompling/compling apks or time I would do it.

Im dont know why anybody wants onscreen buttons? Yea the nexus had them and thats fine. But with 2 capacitive buttons and a hardware button, why have nav buttons that do the same thing? All its does is take up screen space no?

Because I'm used to capacitive buttons, it's clunky to use a physical button, and depressing the button off-balances the whole phone if you're using it one-handed.

It's funny how people think that because they don't mind the physical home button that everyone else should feel the same way. The screen is big enough that I don't mind losing a little space. Give me a "touch" home button and task list button that I don't have to wait 2 seconds for...

To each is own...i would much rather have more screen. However if they designed this device like the nexus with only nav buttons, then that would be ok. I just dont like the idea of having multiple buttons that do the same thing.

Whatever! It's the same BS that the developers get upset over. People who have no clue making useless statements that do nothing for the cause. It's a waste of space and time...
I could be wrong but I thought all ICS and JB frameworks have the vitual navigation button code, it just a matter of enabling it. See the second link I posted...

I don't see why agreeing with someone preference for something and calling them out regarding a statement that seems clueless has anything to do with each other. Unless he knows for a fact that the Touchwiz ICS framework-res.apk has been stripped of the navigation button code (not just disabled) his comment was clueless... Having a 1000+ posts does not make someone an expert and if he knows for a fact then he should have said the TW ICS framework has been stripped of the navigation bar code...
There are plenty of opinions on the value of the mod. The original thread link I posted seemed to suggest there are a lot of people who want this. This thread so far may not support that for US users... Oh, well... If there is no dev that wants to do this mod then I guess I'll wait for a stable release of AOKP where I can modify/add buttons too...
Thanks!

As I said in my post, "it won't work on the stock ROM". The support for it is just not there in TouchWiz. You can modify the framework-res.apk if you want (I've tried), but it just won't work. If you want on screen navigation keys, you'll need to get onto CM/AOSP.
Here are my reasons for preferring nexus style on-screen buttons:
1. I no longer have to overextend my thumb to press the menu button when holding the device with one hand. Usually this results in my palm hitting something on the screen unintentionally.
2. Once frustrated with #1, I will tilt the device down (increasing the chances of dropping the phone) to be able to successfully press the menu button. With on screen buttons I no longer have to do this.
3. If 1&2 are not an option I am forced to use 2 hands to control the device. With on screen buttons this is no longer so.
4. I will no longer accidentally press menu or back while playing a game in landscape mode.
5. I will no longer accidentally tap something on the bottom edge of the screen when attempting to press the back or menu button. Because it is a far stretch, part of my thumb will often interact with the lowest point of the screen before interacting with the back or menu button.
The slogan for this device shouldn't be "Designed for humans" but rather "Designed for gorilla hands".
If possible, I would also like to see on screen buttons on touchwiz.

Ok, thanks for the update and clarifying the the ICS framework has been stripped of the code for the onscreen navigation buttons. Really too bad but CM and AOKP are both coming long nicely...
Good day guys,
I just got my Rogers Infuse 4G's power button fix..
I am hoping to add a feature to my stock ROM which i could use my volume rocker to wake instead of using power button.
I am afraid i break it again on simultaneous using power button to wake the phone, i have been using some stock ROMS with the said feature, but i have issue with video recording.
Hope you help me guys please..
My phone is Roger Infuse 4G SGH-I997R running Android GB 2.3.3

I don't think you can could get that feature on a stock but the JB ROM's have them like Beanstalk has it and i use that to turn on my phone insted of using the power button. So i suggest flashing JB BeanStalk

Then ever since i rooted my phone and started following ang flashing "BeanStalk" ROM credit to scott.hart.bti for this great rom, i followed his past works and stumbled on his Inimitable UCKL2 which is great for having a lot of themes and great addons specially my all problem "volume rocker wake"..
Very Stable and it solved almost all i want on my phone, even my problem on camera flash led being no so bright after i rooted it.
Since i still can't post to their thread for some reason, i just have use this thread to shout a big "THANKS" to those thread starters and responsible for the development of those great stock and custom roms. Now I enjoy a steady phone with almost the original features of it +++.
Big "THANKS" to you guys:

During my Nexus 5x days, my daily driver was Pure Nexus, and one of my favorite features was the ability to enable/disable the flashlight/torch via holding the power button (with the screen off mainly).
I know PN is available for the Pixel right now, but I'm trying to stick with Stock for as long as I can so I can take OTA's. Does anyone know how to get the same torch functionality? I am currently rooted and have found several non-root apps that allow 3 taps of the power button to enable torch...but it's not the same thing as being able to long-press with the screen off! I liked being able to take my phone out of my pocket, hold the power button to enable torch, then tap the power button one more time to disable...all without turning on the screen.
Thanks all in advance for your help!
Did you ever find something? I miss that I could do that on my n5x too.
Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but I am loving Torchie right now. It has brought one of the best and simplest things from custom roms. It tends to be a bit of a power hog when enabling use with the screen off, but I have found it is pretty easy to manage. Non-root as well.
I wish Android would add this feature as stock it's such a useful feature

I ended up biting the bullet and going to Pure Nexus. It has been rock solid for me, and this feature among others make it well worth the effort and few nuances there are. I will agree, though, it would have made it a tougher decision to move away from stock if Google had this feature built-in!

I've been with pure Nexus every step of the way with this pixel and bless that guy's heart for continuing the good work that he's been doing.
but like you I want Oreo now and a way to activate the flash light just by holding down the power button when the screen is off
Honestly this was really the only reason that I stayed on pure Nexus for so long and one of the main reasons that I actually root in my pixel in the first place for. This is one of the most convenient modifications I've ever ran across and I actually use it every single day for so many different things. I just upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo and am horrified that there is no simple solution for this on Oreo yet. Could somebody please implement this into Oreo somehow on the system level, possibly within the kernel or something of that nature?
Just wanted to give an update. I found button mapper with root seems to work great with volume down for the flashlight. It seems to break a couple things though
(volume down to take picture and DND mode) and I need to contact the developer. It works great for turning on and off the flashlight though with screen off or on. (requires root).

First of all, I'm glad some of you are resurrecting this post. Maybe someone much smarter than me can explain how the developer of Pure Nexus is able to implement this? These developers never ceases to amaze me in what they can add on the front of functionality...but is it not possible to develop (again, someone much smarter than me) a flashable zip to implement this?
I like how much Google continues to add in to stock Android on customization and features that we used to have to root for. This flashlight mod would almost certainly keep me on stock...
