Hi guys.
I started a thread sometime back on taking screenshots using hardware buttons, but I never got a response. I hope someone will help me here.
The reason is because the screenshot app in the Acer ring is useless half of the time. When I take screenshots using it for high profile 3D games, I always go to a black screen. I need this because I am a game reviewer.
Thanks very much!

I never got to find out how to do hardware screenshots either.
If you're rooted, that opens a multitude of options.
If you're not rooted, you can perhaps try the "capture screen" option in the Myphoneexplorer PC client. http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
Why didn't you re-use your old thread? Because moscow over there made the right hint.
Press the power and volume down button (the one with two points when you are in landscape mode) simultaniously for 1-2 seconds. You will hear a short sound and then you'll see the taken picture. I've tested this a few minutes ago with Dead Trigger. I'm on a JB Alpha but should also be working under the stock rom. Don't know if you need root. Superuser is installed on my rom but it didn't ask for permission when taken the screenshot.

Oh man, thank you...it worked. I can swear that when I wrote that thread, this method didn't work. Then again, I wasn't rooted back then...now I am.

Hi BeastyLeo,
I just flashed the latest release and i'm having lots of trouble The rom looks great and i so badly want to use it, but dont knw if i'm jinxed or something :-/ Please help me!!!!
1. The incoming phone call graphics is all messed up. The caller's picture and the caller info gets rendered 20-30 pixels below the top of the notification box and the bottom section gets cut off...
2. All the applications running started to behave crazy after a while. WpTask was active, and this is what happened - The task icons used to appear on the top bar (for example Activesync's icon), but the text used to be missing. When i brought up the context menu by clicking and holding the task, the rollout menu didnt list the name of the task again! I had options like Close, Terminate (with no Task names next to it like it would normally appear), and I couldnt kill the tasks at all! Even after i went into default memory manager of wm6, i still couldnt end the tasks. Only option was a reset....
3. The back button in the phone app comes with the sound, and now that slows it down for some reason
thanks!!!!
San
Ohhhh.... this is realy weird
Did you install the ROM with default options, or did you change anything?
This is horrible!

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your quick response!
I didnt do anything with the rom before flashing. The only thing though, was i didnt flash the radio file as i have 1.15 and i find it stable. The Tasks problem keeps happening, i had to roll back now to one of your earlier versions which works fine though....
Thanks, and i really appreciate both your commitment and great work!

If it's that bad I will try to do a bug release in a view days.
My harddisk of my laptop crashed and currently I'm trying to recover the data first. I feel sorry for you and I hope I can fix it asap.
-I noticed a view things with initflashfiles.dat after I decompiled our own ROM.
-Also PocketCM I'm not realy happy with, I think I'm going to take that out.
-Office I changed for our previous one.
Well... I'm looking into it.
Cheers,
Leo

Hi, i have the same problem in phone operation so that i have to use another one. One thing still in dark: when finished uprom progress, i check phone with my Exec close position but it was hanged the screen very dark, have to SR the PDA again working. I don't understand why.
I have had the payed version of Lock 2.0 since there was an option to buy but since I got my Nexus One it has now become pretty much unusable. The sad part is that it is better than the lock button that is on the top of the phone cause it lets you bring up the lock screen by pressing your track ball. I love all the different back grounds and sounds you can download and how they stay in a folder and not in your app draw (which is really annoying). Now the thing I don't like is that when you press the volume buttons when the phone is locked you can and will turn down or up the volume on accident and this is why this app is now unusable. Can it really be that hard to add an option to disable these buttons? I have emailed Android Apps and they say the reason the volume button does that is for when you are listening to music and thats great but whats the use if when you get a call or text and you can't hear it cause you turned the volume down to 0 on accident. I emailed them today again and asked if they could update their app and I hope they do. The reason I started this thread is so anybody could comment on this problem with I have to say is probably my second favorite app on the market. I will also email them a link to this thread so they can see what everybody thinks. One more thing on another lock app LockBot when you press the volume button the sound does not get turned down but I don't want to really pay for two apps that can do the same thing. Edit: OK they fixed it but their is a new problem with the home button.

What rom are you using?
Cyanogens latest has an option for trackball wake-up (and of course that mod can be applied to other roms as well) if that is indeed the biggest thing about it you like. I personally never saw the need to change my lockscreen from stock, but can understand why some people do.
I am using the stock rom, I didn't want to root this phone since you void your warranty and mine is pretty messed up I should get a replacement this week. Also I am glad Cyanogen added that and that tells you it is a problem in the stock or he wouldn't have had to improve on it. So people like me only have the option of downloading an app to get the same results. Also I have used a rooted phone before, I had been using my Google Ion rooted for about 6 months before I got my Nexus One.
Ok I just got an email from the developer and they have disabled the volume buttons by default on the new version that was fast. Now there is a weird problem where even after you set the Launcher as the default for your home button it still keeps opening Lock 2.0, its really annoying but I already told them so I'm sure they will fix it. Now if only Google would respond like this for their "Support Forums" on fixing the 3G and Touchscreen problems the world would be a better place.
I understand the issue with the volume keys. I don't listen to music so i installed the app (ringer mode locker) by kaa from the market. It overrides the system setting and locks on your choose of settings: vibrate, ringer silent etc. If you volume up or down it stays on you set point. I like if because it is not a background app using extra battery trying to monitor a set point.

Please don't critisize Google like this, 3G issues and Touchscreen problems are not simple applications in which code can be modified to turn off the "Volume" buttons.. I've noticed the employees on their forums try to solve things to the best of their abilities - but Google can not just correct everything as if it takes a small flick of the wrist, or click of a mouse...
Honestly I don't see how they will fix any 3G issue entierly without modifiying the insides of the phone.. guess I dont know enough about phones to make such a conclusion anyways.

I emailed them about this a couple of weeks ago. I told them exactly that and I got a "Steve Jobs-like" response lol..
"Something is wrong with your phone."
I even posted about it a couple of times in the Q&A section but got no responses. I'm glad to see someone on a stock ROM is experiencing the same issue because I thought it was due to using CM. Are you using an auto task-killer?

Get "KeyGuard disabler" from the market. It costs 1.49 but does exactly what you want. I'm sure there are free versions of similar software too but this is only one i've ever tried.

wow dude just tried it! works perfect! thanks man!
Meh....
After installing and trying to use it, I finally gave up. It has the potential to be by far one of the best android apps. The developer has designed programs that mesh with android so natively that I am jealous of his understanding. But even after a few reinstallations, this program never delivered. A replacement lockscreen must be more than just pretty. It wasn't sized right for the Nexus One screen and constantly froze "Updating List", even when I was just trying to unlock. The "Updating List" freeze causes a loop that just recalled the freeze when I hit home. There is no escape short of hitting menu, more, home, then selecting my home screen program. I would consider that a lock screen fail if I have to navigate a menu to select a home screen instead of sliding the sexy little slider over. I hate taking refunds from the market, but Lock 2.0 needs more work. If I see anyone saying it has been adjusted for the N1 screen and the home bug has been fixed, I'll buy it again, but until then, I'll stick with the just weather and toggle widgets.
I hear that Lock 2.0 disables notifications on the Nexus One. Does anybody know of any apps thats just as attractive as Lock 2.0 that doesn't disable notifications or freeze.. etc.. (something iphone-ish i guess)
Any news about the home button bug bypassing the lock screen in Lock 2.0?
As far as a can tell its been working good and the dev added the option to clear the home screen default if it does it again. Its pretty sad that he left it messed up for months until I sent him the link to this thread.

Thanks, but I was referring to another bug (unless I'm totally mistaken):
When you turn on your nexus and you're still on Lock 2.0 lock screen, if you press the home button, it unlocks the phone without having to use the slider.
Hope this was clear...
I use widgetlocker for a nice custom lockscreen on my Desire and would like to do the same on the TAB but can't get it to remove the similar Samsung lockscreen - when I press the power button or the device times out, I am greeted with the widgetlocker lockscreen and then the Samsung one is underneath?!
I've sent a mail to the developer but wondered if anyone else was using it and had managed to overcome this somehow...
If I hear more from the developer I'll post it here too.
Had the same issue. First time I chose the root bypass of five second thing, it got rid of the stock lockscreen, but after a reboot it came back reguardless of what I do

Kevin the developer got back to my email. All you need to do is go to Buttons and Inputs and select Easy Wake Mode. I've done that and the Samsung one doesn't come up
LockScreen Doesnt Appear FullScreen
I have purchased and Install WidgetLocker on my Galaxy Tab.
But the lockscreen does not appear in full screen, guess it is shrt of 1 row
Any Idea how to fix it? Attached pic for your reference (Please focus Towards the right side of the screen)
You can take a screenshot of the tab by pressing back + power. That picture is huuuuuuuge.

Sorry just notice the trick to capture a screenshot. By the way any chance to get the problem fixed?
it might be cause by the broken image of the 'bar' inside the apk. so far all the version of widgetlocker i use on my tab did not have this problem.

I have reinstall it but the problem is still there when I used rotary or Sense UI lockscreen. Appreciate some answer.
Is it because I'm using launcherProPlus with my SGT? An my Tab is not rooted, is it because of that?
I have wigetlocker on my tab and looks and works fine. I haven't had any problems with it.

Same issue here...emailed dev, said he was working on update for the Tab. FYI

Thought I'm alone. I have got reply from Kevin TeslaCoil mentioning the same. Thanks
Also still having some issues myself. Rooted with z4root and checked easy wake mode but i occasionally get a message saying widgetlocker has been given superuser access and then the stock lockscreen will show up again when i next turn the screen off and on again. It'll be fine then for a couple of hours and then do it again. Hopefully the dev will get to the bottom of this. Might fire him a quick email again.

Hello All,
First of all - sorry for my english
Secound - I'm new in Android, my previous device was HTC Touch HD (aka Blackstone) - so I'm a little used to WinMo 6.5
I bought my Sensation last wednesday. It is a stock S-ON RL device (info about ROM is in my signature).
I have non-root'ed device.
Until yesterday (saturday) everything was O.K.
I set up a lockscreen with weather and one custom button (pointed to task manager - built one, not downloaded from Android Market).
Today morning i noticed issue with lockscreen.
There is no buttons above lock ring (any of them), and there is no weather shown.
I did soft-reset my device several times and that doesn't help.
When i go to "home screen" => "personalization" => "lockscreens" => and select (screen 1a, 2a) any of them, then return to "Home Screen" and press POWER button (to activate lockscreen) and again POWER button to see actual lockscreen (screen 3a) - I still don't see any of the four buttons (and weather)...
What's wrong? Anyone have ideas?
I don't see any setting, which could disable the four buttons....
If I wrote something ununderstandable, please let me know
Have I done something wrong? Why yesterday everything was OK? Could something be wrong during night? :/
Sorry for poor quality of screens, my work-phone is prehistorical
Any help would be appreciated
Thanx in advance

At last I found this problem caused by Titanium.Backup When I use Titanium.Backup to restore my system data.The problem appear.
I hope these information can help you.

Run the Setup App again
Keep clicking next
Turn screen off you should have the apps and widget back
If this works, pass it around on other forums

Hey Guys,
as CM10.1 posts are flooding the two CM10 threads I'm opening a new discussion Thread here so that you/we can keep the CM10 Threads for CM10.
Feel free to post videos & screenshots, I will add some of them to the OP if you want me to!
I also would encourage you to tell me what works & what doesn't, please use a proper listing method therefor.
As always all credit goes to intervigil, xkonni & the others behind CM10(.1)!
said/found to be working / not working:
Screen tearing (nearly unnoticeable)
Working: everything else
I'm looking forward to get CM 10.1
Thanks for the 10.1 thread!
So the first question I got the 10.1-20121210-experimental and got no developers and power options Besides the camera and this issue, it works great! Thanks to all developers!

No audio when connected headphones (From what I hear someone confirm this) a13xemz's quickfix from the playstore Playstore: SoundAbout
Quick setting menu can be a bit restless while downloading apps and trying access it. (Setting vanish and come back)
Hope GPS and Nav will work, hopefully some people can tests this out to make sure. While all of this is being resolved

I can confirm that the issues mentioned in post 6 cover everything I've noticed so far.
Fyi, I dirty flashed over CM10 and the camera app was present and had the new icon, it just didn't work. I thought it was odd that the new gallery didnt seem to sync to Picasa either (like the current cm10 gallery) because when i used the leaked 4.2 camera, the gallery sync worked great.

To get developer options, tap the build date 7 or so times.
only issue after fresh install, full wipe
is remapping of hw keys--no issue on other roms
if i chose long press on recent app as voice leaving short press menu
and long press home screen as recent apps--I get voice for any press of recent apps and home key
i can get recent apps to be menu and home stays as home
then no recent apps
hope this is not confusing and mentioned before--did look around
did wipe caches and rebooted
maybe only option is too reflash, but no recent apps is not a big deal as rom runs very smooth and I have my voice turns in GMaps with street names spoken now. street names were not mentioned on other roms for me for a while now--
