So I searched the forum and haven't, yet, run across any topics revealing my question, so here it is. With all this modding going on, is there any way or possibility to be able to make the thunderbolt have a native screenshot with hardware keys? Such as, pressing "search" and "power" at the same time and holding to take a screenshot?

Most newer ROMs have it. Press and hold Power, then press Home.
Can it be incorporated to a stock rooted Rom?

I only use roms with native screenshot. It's more convenient

They also have apps in the market to take screen shots, just as easy. I used screenshot ux.
Thats so cool!....I did not know that was even possible....I gotta look more into this.

I was looking in my gallery when I saw a screenshot of my phone's home screen. My 3vo isn't rooted or unlocked and I have never had a screenshot app installed. Does anyone have any insight as to how this might have happened? I'd like to create it but have no idea how.

If using the new OTA with Android 2.3.4, hold down the power button and press the Home button before the power menu appears

power home is pretty universal; kinda surprised peeps dont know this
Is there some kind of trick to taking a screenshot or setting I have to enable/disable to get it to work?
I've updated my EVO 3D to the latest version and can't get it to take a screen shot. Not rooted.
I've tried over and over and it won't work. I've tried every combination of pushing the power button and hitting the home button (holding the power button down, tapping it quickly, hitting them at the same time, etc..).
Also, I've read that there's a confirmation displayed once a screenshot has been taken, is that correct?

You need to maintain the power button press while you press the home button

Hmm, yep, I'm running 2.3.3...
Strange, I updated my phone when 2.3.4 was released. But maybe it just gave me the first update since my phone is new.
But now when I search for an update it says there isn't one available. I guess i'll have to wait for the official release push.
Yeah doesn't even the stupid iPhone use Pwr+Home for SSing?
Well for those who didn't know, we thank you for the information. For those who chose to be assholes about it... Thank you as well.

sort of semi hold down the power button, dont push the power button all the way then press home. thats how i get it to work for me.
I've tried every combination of holding the power button and home button possible and....nothing. Is my Rezound just not working right? I've hunted through all the settings and haven't found anything. I'm stock and not rooted.

tried rebooting? holding pwr and pressing home should work. factory reset may help if nothing else does. I never lost SS capability until I started deleting stuff in titanium, but you are stock so that isn't an issue.
***press and hold the power button down, and within 2 seconds while holding the power button down, press the home button.***
It is a pain it took me forever when I was stock it has to be perfect timing. Just keep trying you will Get it.

You are right... just tried it. Worked. Been using screenshot rooted since I came over from the Dinc.
Any guesses on the timing? 2 sec? Either button a millisecond before the other? Do you hear the shutter sound then let go? I mainly get recent apps pop up then the power off one. I know this is a little nitpicky but isn't that why we're here? To obsess over inanimate objects without being judged by others? thanks guys, I won't give up!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Make sure you push power first before you push the home button. It's literally like a millisecond before, but it is power first. Try that and see if it works. Also, did you freeze anything? I know you say you're not rooted, but were you temp rooted and froze something?
It worked! I can't believe it! That was the trick..power button right before the home button. Thank you so much! And no, no temp root or anything (a moot point now). I'm waiting for the ever elusive ics ota before I root (no, I'm not trying to start a discussion about that!) thank you again.

Lol, glad it worked I was one of the lucky ones who found that accidentally so I knew what to do from that point forward. And I was just asking about being rooted and such in case you froze the sribble app that makes that work. But yeah, it's your phone, mate, you root it when you want to
yep, hitting power right before the home button works everytime! thanks! also not rooted here..and new to the rezound. coming from an X the whole unlock/root process is actually intimidating me right now. ive been romming for years now and i'm scared with the rezound. ha.
Just for kicks, I think it would be cool to have an optional soft key mod; I know AOKP has the option to turn them on or off. If anybody is interested, I could look into porting them over. I'm no dev but I have Eclipse, all of the SDK stuff, and Photoshop; so I'm decently equipped. All I need is a little guidance :b.

There us a way to go into tablet mode and it has the on screen keys. But you would have to search around its in the themes forms.

From what I can tell the images for the softkeys would be in the systemui
if you set your dpi to around 160 or so you should be able to get tablet ui on your phone but with some Fc's on certain apps so those have to be replaced with market replacements
Soft keys like this?

it doesn't require much dev knowledge. if you know how to decompile and build,edit xmls and smali,basis photo skills it's rather easy

Just tried this. Doesn't work. Editing bools and strings in xml doesn't seem to work at all with this device. At least not without some extra work. Probably because of sense.
why?
why would you want on screen soft keys? it just seems kind of redundant to have the actual buttons and the on screen soft keys

As a friend with a Gnex told me. It's nice to always have the soft keys in the same place relative to the screen no matter which way you turn the phone.

I found a thread somewhere in I think and Evo thread or something that had files to disable the captive buttons and use On-screen buttons.
But I can't find it now.. and I kinda wanted to know if that would work on the Amaze?
Thanks in advance yo'

So far aokp is the only rom that allows that, that I know of. I'll be honest though, I takes too much screen space, even at 36dpi.

Sorry, but No. There are too many threads regarding How To Root. You can find everything you need to by a sticky found in the Development section. Or just use Hasoons All In One Tool Kit.

If you're a noob I don't deserve my RC status, which you obviously deserve but you're too modest to accept my proposal to recommend you, .
For me, I hold the power and lower volume, it works a lot more consistently than power and home.

One of about three ways I know how to, .
I hold Power button + Volume Down + Home button. I do this so I can take a screenshot while I make a screenshot.
Jokes aside, you have 3 different methods. Power Button + Home button works on most Sense ROMs. Power Button + Volume Down should work for ALL ICS ROMs. There's an another method, but it works on very few ROMs. You can hold power button until a dialog comes up, and there will be an option for you to take a screenshot. However, not all ROMs have this feature.
Boom. Three ways you can take a screenshot on this device.
