You can achieve the same result with tapping several times the "menu" button (the left touch button) until you'll see the "back button enabled" notification on screen.

Navigation issue (bad hardware?)

When I try to click on the navigation ring to go left or right, it always seems like I click on the phone button or the hang up button instead of navigating right or left. Am I doing something wrong?
outside the "ring"

I had the same problem (and don't like the nav much actually). You need to press completely outside the circle. If your finger is pressing inside you will be pressing that center button down, not navigating left/right/up/down as desired.
Once you start doing it, it gets easier.
same here. it's like learning to click the "x" button now instead of hitting "ok" on the ol' mogul. just takes getting used to. I've found ways around using this (like using the touch circle thingy in calendar to go fwd/back a day instead of using left/right nav)
OK button
I really miss the OK button. A lot!
OK button missing
At first, I remapped the PTT button, b/c I too missed the ok button.
But I read on a forum that most of the time pushing the end call button does the same thing, and I'll be darned if it doesn't work like ok. Granted the app minimizes, but atleast it closes.

The back button works like OK most of the time as well.
For the OP, do not press the ring AT ALL to navigate. The buttons are outside the ring completely.

[Q] Hardware Camera Button in CM7

Are there any camera apps for CM7 that use the power button as the shutter control? After having that mod on so many Froyo ROMs, I forgot how crap-tacular it is to use the touch screen shutter button.
Thanks.
I havent used CM7 in a while, but iI remember being able to set the volume buttons as the shutter. (Could set one, the other, or both. I usually did both) Don't know how or if you can use the power button, which is what I assume you are asking for. Sorry.
open the camera in Cm7, menu >advanced options> choose power button to take pictures.

Thanks to both for the advice. Using the power button still causes the screen to shut off (or bring up the menu if I long press), but that same "Advanced Settings" menu can be used to select Volume Up or Down, and that works just as well for me; as long as there is a hardware button to press instead of messing with the touch screen.

I ticked both power shutter and long focus options..now my power button works as the shutter instead of turning the screen off.

If I press the home button dont stop the call.so if I end a call I have to press the red button(to be sure that the call finished)and then the back button to go out of this ungy screen. I just want to press one's the red button and go to home page.

I end calls by pressing the power button then go to the homes screen by pressing the home button.

[Q] Taking screenshots

I've tried following the few videos that were posted on Youtube. Holding down the Volume Down and Power buttons, but all I have pop up on the screen is the volume indicator. Is there some hidden setting, or could it be because I rooted it [which I doubt, but you never know]
Thanks in advance
Edit: I found the quick access button that I can add to the quick settings, but it's going to drive me nuts

I like the quick access button. But there is no secret to the Power + Volume Down, just pressing them at exactly the same time and holding down...works fine for me.

Power button not working. Need a work around APP

Hello. Recently my Galaxy s2 power button hasn't been working. As in when I either hold it down or press it, it doesn't lock the screne or pull the power menu. It works now and then but yeah I have to press it over and over again.I plan on getting it repaired soon but I'm looking for an workaround. I've seen apps that let me turn my phone off, lock it and such but nothing brings open the power menu button with screenshot, recovery mode, airplane mode and such. Is there anything like that out there? That with a press of the button it would open up my power menu options
try rom manager

Use "Button Savior" from Play Store.
It is just HW buttons on screen including power button. (Like Nexus On-Screen Keys)
And it has long press power menu also, which shows Screenshot, Airplane, Silent etc.
P.S.
[Free advice]
If you get that button repaired, use something like Proximity Sensor based app which locks and unlocks phone screen. So power button will be used less.
(I know this consumes a bit more battery, but still battery is lot cheap and easy to change than power button)

Press Thanks if helped.
