Change print screen file from png to jpg format - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm a newbie here, as the title stated, I just notice that my print screen(screen shot) was save as png format.where can I change the saving format for the screen shot?(.jpg format is more easier for me to do editing or attaching the files )
Another question is, do I need to install any task killer for my S3? Or any short cut for the task killer?
Thx

If you longpress the home button you get an option to access the task killer

just fount out when you press close, just minimize only

just fount out when you press close, just minimize only
it will still in the memory running
anyone know how to fix that?
the problems is , some program take alot of CPU load & memory
goto www.pdagold.com and goto the freeware section (451 freeware programs), there is several utility task manager problems that allow you to close permanent or acces a menu that closes all programs from the today screen.
I mean way to do it automatic, now still can do it by access down right icon to kill the program
programs are made to work with the minimize
thing
like if you send an sms and then close outlook right away
then it mess up and the icon for sms sendt dont go away
could also be issues with saving docs

"Magic Button" works well, does not mess up any of the icons.
Personally I like Wisbar advance.
I use it on both the XDA and XDA2.
i think what u mean is SPB Pocketplus
i find it very useful and also kill apps with close/ok button
I actually looking to tweak the register
so that when I close it actually close the aplication
not by minimize it
Thank you no worry man

[Q] recent app button

does anyone know how to clear the recent apps so there is not a long list? is there anyone that I could shorten it to only show my last 3 apps?
thanks again

If you hold your Power button down a while, a list of options will come up. Select Power Off. This will power down your tablet. When you restart it the list will be cleared.
What type of things do you have on your recent list "sexfreak"?
there are things there that are adult oriented, I also dont like how it shows the last picture taken. I was hoping for something a little more slick then powering it off and on, like maybe shortening the list that it would display, or a "app" or link that would clear it out.

Just use one of the Task Manager apps then kill all the processes.
i use advance task killer, it free's the memory up but still leaves the "history " should I use a different task killer?
Developers can mark their apps to not show in recent apps list, but the list itself is only modifiable by android OS. So I think there is no a task killer/manager which can help you.
You can reboot tab or open as many app as needed to hide your problematic app from the lsit
So far Task manager will not clear your recent app list. Only solution I have found is rebooting the device.
Does anyone know where the data is stored? Would it be possible to navigate to the location of the file and clear it that way?

has anyone noticed that after you kill an app that it will start on its own? gmail, books, clock, browser, craigslist, google voice and others will start up after I "kill" them

Task Manager

Hey Guys
I just got my galaxy tab few days ago. I feel increasingly reliant on taskmanager widget to kill the apps, but the widget is big and chunky and takes a lot of space. Is there a way to change or reduce the size of task manager widget. Help will be appreciated thanks
no chance...but u can access task manager via app tray instead of using the widget.
You can use the shortcut to launch the task manager.
Touch and hold the home button for few seconds.
you dont need to kill apps, the operating system will close everything for you.. when your not using it
thanks for the help guys

[Q] want to change the recent app button to task manager

There are 3 buttons at the bottom left, back,home, and recent app.
Is it possible to change the recent app button to open the task manager.
Pressing the home button for few seconds just feels too slow.
I'm rooted and on overcome rom.
I heard android is all about customization, hope this is possible.
No reply,not possible at all?
Quite a good idea
I'll have a look
It may be easy may be hard

Yeah, thank you!
I really dislike the recent app button. Its so useless n slow.
The task manager is the best way to switch app n close app.
Dear brobot 175
The main request is to have a instant access to the task manager.
which makes closing and switching task very fast and easy.
Eg. Playing angry birds, if wana exit, need to press back, tap the in game menu, exit, exit, a pop up appear, tap yes. Different app will have different method to exit. Very troublesome.
Press and hold the home button to fire up task manager and press the x is much faster and easier.
But its slow to wait, hope there is a faster way for it rather then touch and hold home button.
Pressing the mini tray is even slower so that's not an option.
Able to replace the recent app to task manager is great.
If that's not possible, I have another suggestion.
Is it possible to add a shortcut next to the screen shot button?
As far as i know, the screenshot button is not on stock honeycomb, its and added feature.
Seeing there's space for about 4 more shortcuts, adding a task manager will be super sweet.
What do you think?
i have had a play around a bit but i think the shortcuts for the miniapps are actually embedded in a java file
i cant understand much java so im kinda stuffed
i did however get the wifi on/off buttons to go in the taskbar but thats not really what you were asking i know :L
just on writing this i have just had an idea and i shall have another look at this tonight
cheerrs

you manage to put a button on a taskbar to toggle wifi?
thats amazing!!
good luck with your research.
if you can make it an app, that can put shortcuts on the taskbar, it would be amazing, and make it an app in the market.
after closer observation, the taskbar can have at most 6 icons on the bottom left. since when in portrait, the space becomes small and only can accomodate 6.
right now 4 are permanently there. (back,home,recent app,screenshot)
if can add 2 more would be nice, a task manager, and one more say...volume control? (like the one in desktop window, click once and a bar appear for volume control)
ahahaha, i am already dreaming too much.
Aha yeah you are!
Well as I've said before in have no idea how to make a shortcut to taskmanager but the volume may be possible
I have tried making an app imitate the mini calculator so you can launch it from the miniapps bar but it hasn't worked so far :L overall nothing really works right now

[Q] Is there an easy way to get a shortcut to USB Mass Storage on the homescreen?

As the title states, I have looked and can't find anything that works.
I came up with a method that does work and its really easy to use. No root required.

Thanks in advance.
you can use an app called "Multi Mount SD-Card" i suggest the paid version as it wont make you wait 30 seconds. but its a widget that can either be set to auto mount both cards upon plugin, or by pressing the 1x1 widget icon that you can place on the screen

Thanks I am going to check that out.
*edit*
Ah, nevermind. That method requries root access. Thanks for the headsup though, when I do root I'll give that a shot.
I'm not rooted; I put the stock file manager (My Files) on the home page and went into its settings so it starts where I want it to in my case "/external_sd/My Documents".
