screenshots can be made without any application, only with buttons?

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.

Tap back + Home button simultaneously.

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.

[Q] Home button tweaks?

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?

On my old gt540 i found an app that did this. Unfourtunately ive forgotten the name. Try searching the market.

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.

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.

[Q] How do you re-assign the hardware buttons?

I've been using the SuperNexus ROM for the i9300, however one of the things I miss from CM10 is the ability to reassign the buttons of the device (the Home, Menu and Back buttons).
Is there a tweak that exists which will allow me to do this? I want the Menu button to open the Multitasking screen, and the Home and Back to remain where they are.
Cheers

Very new to Android, so is there anything anybody knows about that I can flash onto the phone that could add this feature other than changing ROM's or using software keys?

This can be acheived by using something such as Jkay deluxe framework.
I think you'd need to buy the deluxe settings app off the market too. Well worth it in my opinion.

[Q] Reprogram "Recent Apps" button

I've done a bunch of searching but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a way to remap the recent apps button to be a menu button? And long press for recent apps? I am stock, s-off, rooted, if that matters. Thanks!
Settings, display gestures buttons, recent apps. You can change it there

Isn't that what the button at the bottom of the phone to the right of the home key is?

It is a recent apps button, not a menu button.
Op, mist roms allow you to change it, but you can't on stock.

Just get a new launcher from Market.
Its easier (and more safe) than mucking around with the stock one.
I know Holo Launcher Pro (HD as widgets, also my all-time favorite launcher for some reason) has the ability to rename drawer tabs, and load either most recent, most frequent, widgets, and custom list in them.
I am sure that there are other launchers that do the same.
If you want to change anything in the stock launcher, you must have root privleges.
Use at your own risk. Havent ever modded a launcher before, only other apps.
Copy the apk to another location (and make a backup if anything goes wrong).
Change the extension to .zip
Explore the zip, and modify anything that looks safe to change.
If you are brave enough, rename the extension to .apk again, and place it back in the "system/app" directory.
Reboot the phone if nessisary.
Use at your own risk.
Please thank me if you found this useful.

Many roms now support this feature and there is also a mod that when you flash it, it will enable this feature.

[Q] Hold Home Button Help

I noticed that when I hold down the home button of my Xperia Z Ultra, a semi-circle pops up and shows a round "Google Now" icon in the middle of the semi-circle. Is there anyway to add more icons on the circle? Or even to change it? Your kind help would be most appreciated. I can't find the answer anywhere.
Nope, not unless you're running a custom ROM (as far as i know). Are you constantly swiping your finger up from the home button though? I can't really see how that's possible
