Hey Guys,
I've flashed CM9 & CM10 (preview) and can't get the physical home button to work. Not sure if it's a setting somewhere or a known bug. I thought I saw a .zip somewhere that could help but it was for the Galaxy s2. When I click the button the buttons on each side light up but it never takes me back to the home screen from wherever I am.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
Works fine for me on cm9 and cm10

Wierd, I am on T-Mobile. I wipe date then wipe cash and devlak, then flash CM9 and gapps and reboot.
HELP!!
Update: When I click the physical button it lights up the two surrounding it, but doesn't take me home. Any way to make that happen?
Same thing just happen to me, nut sure why. Home button works in recovery though so it's some type of bug

I've heard that froyo has it built in, they've been talking about it being buggy in the i9000 forums.
your supposed to hold the back button and tap the home button but I havent got it to work (might not be in my rom) some i9000 users say it gets stuck on, taking a ton of snapshots of the homescreen lol
guess it doesnt work on obsidian 4.2 rom then because i get nothing =/
I did something with the buttons and took one but havent been able to do it again

It happens when the phone lags like crazy and then you press those buttons. Don't ask me why, but this has happened twice with me.
Hi I noticed that some galaxy devices have the ability to screen capture just by pressing buttons. I was wondering if you could do this with the US 5.0 version? The stock rom comes with a screen capture program with it but I still find no way to do it. does anyone know how?
I know the US 5.0 version does not do it. "Screen Capture Shortcut" work fine.
That is what I use! ha but it's weird it has the system app. Why would they put it in if you cant lol? Oh well, thanks though
What system app? I don't see one on my 5.0.
I could be mistaking it or could be something else but it shows as com.sec. android.app.screencapture
On several occasions, I some how triggered the screenshot, but unfortunately I still cannot figure out what I did to take the screenshot. So the feature is probably functional.
For now, I use the screenshot app on the market.
See I knew there was a way of it was there hmm have to figure it. try all possible combinations!
I found this post in the captivate forum talking about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475988
The information seems to be correct. I took a look at the code and might spend some time implementing an notification area button that does screen capture.
Try screenshot ux trial... It is really good! You can crop and edit.
Just figured it out how to do it on my way home. This is how I trigger the screen capture on YP-G70 (international)
1. Press and hold home button using your left thumb.
2. Then press and hold back button using your right thumb.
3. Release both thumbs.
4. This is the hard part. Do step 1 to 3 in less than half second. It doesn't work if you do it too fast or too slow.
If it works, it will save the screenshot under the folder "ScreenCapture" in your internal SD card.
I don't blame you if you cannot reproduce it. It requires a fast finger .
It works also on the Galaxy Player 4.0, but i don't know, where it saves the pics.
Edit: The location where it saves the pics is: /sdcard/ScreenCapture
I've tried this several times with several different timings on my ROM and it does not appear to work. This could be because of the ROM, it doesn't work on U.S., or it's another key combo. If anyone gets this to work on U.S. 5.0 please let us know...
I am agree with you. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 (spain), and with quick fingers using home button and back button, you get a screencapture

It works! Great stuff, thank you!
I'm running the CM9 beta 0.2.0 by jokersax11 ([Ics] cm9 beta with camera CDMA/GSM/UMTS/HSDPA/WCDMA/roaming 2/22/12) and my capacitive touch buttons at the bottom of the screen*(Menu, Home, Back and Search) are not lighting up at all! I can't figure it out at all and I really need these buttons to light up, due to my recent switch from the LG Optimus S, and before that I had an AT&T HTC Inspire 4g (which have the home and menu buttons reversed). I use my phone alot at night and I desperately need to get this fixed! Is there something in the CM9 settings I'm overlooking? Or is there an app or mod that I could use to get control of them and get them working again? PLEASE HELP! I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE OR ANY INFO ON HOW TO GET THESE BUTTONS TO LIGHT UP AGAIN! This is really frustrating!

EDIT - Well that was fun. If you haven't figured it out, the link above goes to the other thread you started, with the same title, and the same body, in the same forum .... You should not create duplicate threads. For future reference best practice is create 1 thread and wait a minimum of 24 hours between bumps.
With that out of the way my actual advice is as follows, i dont believe the capacitive buttons are an issue with jokers CM build although i dont personally use it. This would indicate the answer lies in a) something you did b) something you didnt do c) something you installed
1. You can eliminate a and b without losing any info by going into your custom recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then doing a dirty flash on the rom (dirty flash = don't wipe data/factory). In this case there would be no reason to reflash gapps.
2. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe (data factory/system/dalvik) and reflash the ROM, then gapps. Be slow to in stall your apps and test the capicitive buttons frequently to ensure you haven't done anything to break them
Set the phone's brightness to Automatic.. Fixed..
People are so over dramatic sometimes lol.

Thanks, that pointed me in the right direction. My auto brightness isn't working. I'm gonna do a "dirty flash" and see if that helps. Oh and btw,the second post was an accident and you can't delete your own thread.So, sorry about that.

Please come back and update the thread on if it works or not. Others may experience the same issue in the future and this thread could assist them.
Cheers!
i just now notices mine dont light up but o well my thumb pretty much know ware to push
Well, it's fixed. Don't know what the heck was going on but reflashed my CM9 & Google apps and voila my automatic brightness switch in settings started working again. No more problems and capacitive buttons work fine. Strange but at least it's fixed

And sorry to anyone that needed a fix to this. I was involved in the tornado that hit Branson, Missouri and was unable to keep phone charged due to the power outage that lasted over a week, and had bigger things to worry about at the time, like getting shelter and food. But everything is ok now and hope this thread helps anyone that has this problem. Check to see if your automtic brightness switch is working under settings (mine wasn't working) So if it isn't working just reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache & /cache, and reflash your rom and gapps, then check in your settings to see if your automatic brightness is now working. If so your problem should be fixed and your capcitive buttons should now light up. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you.

I just flashed RC released today, set up S2E, restored all my applications.
As people complained, Torch still doesn't work.
Now, Does anyone have the problem with Power Button? When my phone is on and I press power button, I'm forwarded to HOME.[/b] No doubt, when my screen is off I can turn it on through Power Button. But, its TURN OFF functionality doesn't work. I also couldn't find some sort of option to change this feature in Cyanogenmod Settings either.
PS: Problem solved with Power Button's behavior. I solved it by Spare parts option of customising End Button's Behavior.
I was tempted to flash RC but did not proceed after reading that bugs on Nightly release are still there.

100% Good decision.
Is the proximity sensor now fixed and the back and menu light bug?
Pretty simple question here, I recently installed the three UK JB update on my unbranded phone (got confused and wasn't concentrating, but anyway...) anniversary noticed that when the screen dims and turns off, if I press the home key to turn it back on in the short space of time that you get before it auto locks, then not only does the screen turn back on but it also backs out of the app I was reading. Is anyone else experiencing this? I never had this issue on ICS.
I am using smart stay, but this happens at times like when I'm reading in the dark or have the phone on my desk without my head directly over it.
Cheers in advance!

Yep, it's a Samsung bug that I guess they haven't fixed yet...
CyanogenMOD fixed the bug back when CM10 wasn't even usable on our devices
It's already fixed in the XXDLJ4 release.

I flashed about a week ago the official JB Update and the Bug was gone - till yesterday -.-
Now the Bug is back and i really don't know why. Is there any working solution? (execpt to reflash everything)
As far as I can see the bug depends on the lockscreen type and appears only, if you activated pattern locking and you have a relock delay.
still have it here, no special lock screen set up, just swipe to unlock

If you set SVoice to launch on home double press it should solve the issue of it backgrounding the app.
Yes this problem seems to appear when S-Voice is turned off. Which sucks cause I'd rather have google voice search.
I freeze Svoice in Titamium backup. And I have a problems with home button as some decribes in posts.
I was looking around for solution and I am happy that i finaly find answer here.
Many thanks for help with this S-Voice app
Samsung SVoice also introduces a delay to home button.
