So before I upgraded to a custom rom (gingerreal 2.0)I could take screenshots fine with the home and power key combination. But now the combination doesn't work. Help is much appreciated
Try long pressing the power button.. I guess you might get the screenshot option in power menu
Didnt work
I heard something about changing a line in build.prop something like changing ro.htc.framework.screenshot = false to true but I don't see any line like this in my build.prop
Use app from market
Screenshot it

Correct me if I'm wrong - gingerreal is based on CM. If it is, you can't use the standard screenshot. If it isn't, try Drocap2 on the Play Store.

So theres no way I can take screenshots without an app?

you could either
1. install thirdparty apps which can be found at google play store
2. or install another rom. hoards of it can be found at development section
Screenshot it allows you to set up any keys you like to take screenshots. Or even shake your device to take picture and you can change the sensitivity so it wont take them all the time

Hmmm actually since the development of gingerreal has stopped I may as well get a new rom, any roms u guys rwcommend?

Is it possible to change the way the home button acts? I dislike the way when you hit the home button it puts the current app into a background process. Could we change it so like an iPhone the home button fully closes an app when pressed?

Excuse me, but I believe the iPhone puts the process to background too.
Right now im using the cynogenmod 7 KANG's version, when you go to the USB settings there is a option to fully close an app by holding the back button. You can also customize the home/menu button using that rom.

Thanks man! I've found the option in the application development but how do i customise it further?
Is there anyway I can ADD an application to the recent app list (the one you get when you hold the home button)?
I dont want to assign the button to just a single app but to more than one...
I want it in a way that I get the app i want (in the top left corner) and also get the list of recent apps?

Well, thats a bummer. I wanted to add an app manager in that list.
Anywho, thanks for the info.

But you could find an app that groups apps you want together and bind the app to the long press of home button. The setting is in cyanogenmod settings.

yah, thats what I am doing right now,
But it'd be better to have recent apps + an app manager on the list.

Reminded me about that feature. Tried it in B3 and it didn't work. Works now in Behrad's CM7. Long press menu still doesn't work right now though.

you mean what grif compiled for 2.3.7?
Long press menu is actually a brand thing. Didn't have this function with some other android phones.

You can try QuickDesk on the market.

Theres also wave launcher on the market too. QuickDesk is free however eats into RAM makes the phone a little laggy but its awesome.

Very vague description/title. You need to use an application to take a screenshot, as far as I know, it's not built into the OS itself.
Only on ICS you find native screenshot taking capability.

I have an questions about the issue, install a new ROM which does not have built the apk for screenshots, I wonder if copying the app screenshot.apk system might work, and if possible someone can provide me this apk, is in system/app

Sorry but this doesn't work for me. It works on my fiances SGP 4.0 when I slide my finger from the home button to the back button repeatedly but it opens up the recent apps list.

use your two thumbs and be faster!
home button (don't hold it) and then back button. push them both within half a second, so it looks like you push them almost simultaneously.
Well after looking at old ROMs and could get the apk to make screenshots natively, just have to copy the apk in system/app

I have that but it still doesn't work. I don't understand. Some of the things on my Galaxy, it just won't work. Like the zooming in and out of the camera when you use the volume rockers. Also, if you didn't know, when you hold the status bar, (just hold and it will dissapear), you can change the brightness. I had to download Power Widget Lite and add the brightness option and uncheck auto brightness once the widget is on the launcher. It's confusing.

That all depends on the ROM (except for the zoom, not available), I am using this ROM:

I all works fine, look at my screenshots:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28080917&postcount=36
I am using the "No Root Screenshot It" app from the Play Store. It works with the native Player 5.0 OS (2.3.5) no root required.
I now am running Go Launcher EX and have just rooted my YP-G70 and the screenshot program still works flawlessly.

you need a modified rosie.apk

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.

hi... have problem since 1 day, suddenly, when i press home button i cant return to home menu, now its accueil station... i try to remove no success...i try back up my all system no success.... why im stuck with this now
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Sounds like.. You simply installed a new launcher and set it as default.....
Just go to manage apps.. find the offending unwanted launcher and you can either clear defaults do that when you hit home it will give you a voice between it and the TouchWiz launcher. Or just uninstall the one you don't wanna use... then when you hit home there's only one launcher there to open.
no i have only adw ex launcher since 1 years ...i erase all other one with tiyanium but when i press home menu its show dock meny with time and soke shortcut...so when i want retur in my meny i need press back back back...so its not very funny
i try to flash with recovery my old backup and havr same same problem
