[Q] [HELP!] Why I can't take a screenshot with my sensation?

I have Android Revolution HD Rom and my android version is 2.3.4
When I press Power + Home key, why I can't take a screeshot?

Tell ya what, you didn't search but head to google and search "edit sensation build prop screenshot" and the first result has your answer.

The screen capture is disabled by default, on that Rom. Go to your build.prop and were it says
" screen capture= false"
Change it to say true, reboot wipe cache and it should be working

Hi,
You will find the answer in the FAQ section on the first page of that ROM.
I think its about number 25.

I have Android 2.3.5 and the setting is by default false. It requires root to change it. Is there any way to take screen shot without rooting?

Yes, On market go get the app dropcap2.
it is a free screenshot app. Very simple. Hit start and shake the phone.

I looked it up and its drocap2, but Android market says it does require root.

I found out my phone already has a custom ROM (InsertCoin). So I tried Astro File Manager to edit the build.prop where it says "screen capture=false" to switch it to true. I used Astro File Manager, as suggested here
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/how-to-edit-build-prop
That article says that Astro File Manager has Root Capability, and my device should already be rooted due to the Custom ROM, right?
But I find the Save button disabled and cannot write out the file. Why?
Is it possible or likely to have InsertCoin and NOT be rooted? How do I tell if I am rooted?
Thanks.
(I tried drocap2 and the pictures all have the popup message "drocap2 has been granted Superuser permissions". How do I get rid of that message?)

Your rooted if running IC, Astro isnt your best bet I use root explorer or something similar. You also want to make sure that you set r/w privileges so you cant actually save the file after editing then be sure to set back to r/o after.

Screencapture = fubar (Help?)
Alright, this is just bizarre. I just flashed Android Revolution XE 6.6.4 on my Sensation, with the feux kernel. Right after flashing, the screenshot function (power + home) worked fine. Now it does not work at all, even though the build.prop has the value "true" for screen capture. I had the same thing happen to me with ARHD 2.2.1 for the Amaze. Is there some app I'm using that would screw with the build.prop? The only sort of weird app I run is gscript; I use it to run scripts to turn the leds and backlight on and off.
To address your suggestions before you suggest them: I've changed the value to both "true" and "false," saved, wiped dalvik, rebooted. Nada.
I've tried the stock ICS method (power + vol down) with the build.prop value as both true and false. Nada.
I've heard people mention that the Sweep2Wake function will take a screenshot if you swipe the softkeys right to left. That simply locks my screen.
Anybody experienced an app that messes with the build.prop file? Or some similar problem?

[Q] Xposed not loading

I am stock, rooted and running dalvik.
I have downloaded "de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v25_3_6cbbc.apk" and "de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v25_3_6cbbc-1.apk"
I get the same problem with either. The package installs but will not go active. I can get into the app but there is a red warning that the latest version is not active. Click on the Framework button and try the install/update button. The app stops responding and I get a wait or close pop-up. Same when I try the "soft reboot" and the "reboot" button. I have powered off after the install to no affect. It shows two items under Versions "app_process" with a red dash under the active column and a 47 under the bundled column and "XposedBridge.jar" with a 42 under the active and bundled columns.
Are there any other compatibility issues other than ART that I am not aware of? Anything else I should be checking on?
thx

Sounds like it is denied root access.
Check your superuser application to make sure it's not blocked

You have to go into the framework and install it, then reboot

Thx, I updated the supersu version and that solved the problem.

Get powersaver and quick setting (post 3) back on 4.4.3

Get sqlite editor from store. Open it and browse to settings storage. Open it. Click on settings db. Click on secure. Change hide ui powersaver and hide powersaver connectivity to zero. Exit and reboot

Glad to know that still works. Was kind of worried it wouldn't work since they skipped it and added EPS.

in order to get your powersaver quicksetting back, use a root explorer and open /system/customize/ACC/default.xml
Scroll down to the full list of quick settings (pictured below)
add <int>6</int> to the list
save and reboot. Presto, you have a power saving quicksetting in your list.

My pleasure.

What is the path to the Settings.db file? I don't want to use a paid editor,and like to know what file I am changing.
Thanks.
edit:
Is this the file?
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
If so, why can it no longer be opened with my free sql editor I have been using for years?
edit: Downloaded aShell granted SU, granted root, and launched saqlitemanager from there, go into the table "secure" and make the changes.

Navigation buttons

Anyone know if it's possible to change the size of the navigation buttons? It's so small for a giant screen like that what has in this phone.
Thanks.

Or, does anyone know how to make them disappear?

adb shell
settings put global navigationbar_is_min 1
This hides the navigation bar while keeping the status bar visible.

Thanks! I'm trying that now. it does seem to have a keyboard issue but I'll see how it goes...

This trick doesn't work anymore on MHA-L29C185B182.
To apply the settings temporarily, the original Huawei Home launcher must be used, and after reboot the phone , navigation bar reapers.
Did you find any alternatives?
Thanks!

You can try to activate feature a retractable navigation. Need full ROOT
Method:
Using RootExplorer go to System and keep a copy of the build.prop. If does not help, restore stock recovery. Then open the build. prop in a text editor and find the following line ro.config.hw_navigationbar=false(change to true)
If such lines do not exist you just need to enter
ro.config.hw_navigationbar=true
Put "permission 0644 and reboot

edit- done but Didn't have any kind of settings after edit n reboot

None of the usual methods work so far. I too would love a way to disable them as I prefer to just use LMT pie controls with no nav bar.

Can anyone confirm if this actually works? When I tried editing the build.prop previously it glitched the screen out and I had to wipe. Have you done this and successfully disabled your navigation bar?

i have done this and after reboot there is still no option for me to hide the navi bar

www.xda-developers.com/how-to-hide-the-navigation-bar-in-emui-5-0/amp/

That removes the Navbar but unfortunately LMT or any similar apps don't work when swiping from up the bottom of the screen, only the sides work.
