that"s what she said

To take a screen shot, go into settings - dislplay and there should be an option saying quick launch, tap that and select screen capture.
Hope i helped.

the quick launch setting was removed in the jelly bean update. so yea use power and volume to take snapshots you need to get the timing right as you need to hit both at the same time not one then the other.

I save my power button !

With some change of keylayout, I use the camera button as power button.
The edsion-keypad.kl
As photo 1
At
key 212 CAMERA
Change to
key 212 POWER WAKE
Please alignment with up line include space.

Then save and reboot, now you can't open camera with the button , but you can close and open screen with it (include power off)

So the power button calls the camera, and the camera button calls screen on/off and power on/off?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Kinda cool but why do that?..now you have to be left handed and push the power button on the side of the phone to take a picture ,right?
Unless u feel like tapping the screen which is hard to do while trying to keep the phone steady..

Maybe he's left-handed? lol Maybe a "I can do this am I'm gonna" thing... dunno.

Camera key Atrix 2 is suck, hard to press --> shake -> blur image
thanks! it really makes life much easier for the incipio case - where the power button is a finger killer , damn too hard to push.
I'll try it soon
edit: seems that it doesn't works for mine :\ btw there are a few more files in that folder that have the key 212 CAMERA line, should i try changing them also?
Would it be possible to map it so the camera key works as the power on/off with a short press but still start the camera app with a long press?
I agree with the Incipio case. I ended up placing some small chunks of tape on the buttons before getting it in the case. It makes it so there's less travel needed to make contact.
Get zmooth pro, is has more solutions for you

Sometimes it will happen, perhaps camera button is working on wake time.
So, you can use camera btn to close screen.

Can we have slide to wake like htc does?

I think the camera button (after some time on sleep) still wants to call for camera, rather than wake. If I use the power button to wake, then sleep via camera button, that works. I can then wake via camera button and sleep, but if left in sleep more than 5 minutes or so, the camera button won't wake....

Anyone know of a mod or app to shut off the soft(copasative) lights on my evo? I don't need them.

If you are running cm7 or cm9, check out this guide for dimming the screen, just set all the button values to zero and the soft buttons won't light up anymore.

you could always install MikG 3.11 and run Miktweaks which is built into the ROM; it has the option to disable the illumination for those buttons.

You've gone into the advanced settings and checked the adjust soft key box? Then set the frequency to always off.
You need to check lux to never be killed. Then bring up the dashboard and refresh you lux value and then the settings should stick. I've found that at night the capacitive keys turn back on though.

You can try the link button to match the settings to a particular lux value. Honestly it took a bit of trial and error to get the settings to stick.
Do the steps before open the dashboard, let it adjust the value. Set your default back light % and then link it. Mine eventually stuck. As I said at night they still come back on. Go figure !

You can just disasmble the screen and take out the light filters for the 4 keys! That's what I did.

Is there a way too add screenshot to power menu?

I am on Rem's S3 ROM and I would like to add the screenshot option to the power menu. My google search has led me to complicated coding for the Xperia only pretty much. Is there a flashable zip somewhere that I am overlooking?

Well, hit the wrong button so enjoy your free thanks.
Most ROMs are Power+Vol-, but some like SkyICS are Power+Home key.

Back menu button cwm? (solved)

On gingerbread's cwm, the back menu button keeps getting disabled for no reason this is on the newer version that comes with bh's blast off kernel too. It forces me to do a battery pull pretty much every time I get into recovery unless I flash/wipe cache within about 15 to 20 seconds. Any fix for this?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
It happens when you scroll through the menu. To re enable just hit the button (I believe) up a bunch of times.

You need to put and hold the phone in the mouth, then do a backflip, run 2 miles and drink soda, jump 100 times... oh, you dropped the phone? Start again!
J/k... Hit vol up and down at the same time.

Tried that but holding up and down doesnt work for me. The best thing is just tapping the vol up repeatedly.
