Hi folks,
i just paired a logitech ps3 media-keyboard to my RAZR.
While trying to find out what button does what ( under gingerbread
<home> did just that, act as an android home button,
while now it takes me to the top of the current page),
i noticed prntscrn also does what it does on a pc: take a screenshot.
I have androSS installed, but there was no root-prompt and the behaviour was different to androSS, more like what i have seen on phones with stock-screenshot enabled, i.e via power-button long hold, so i am pretty sure
this is the same functionality. Since i am rooted, is there a way to activate
the screenshot button in the power-button menu? it would be really neat to haveand help me get rid of yet another possibly dangerous app ( having root-permissions and all).
best regards

instead of holding the power button.
my xt912 uses the power + volume down
just hold it for about 2 seconds.
this will only work on ics
Alright, working here as well, thanks mate

I de-rooted yesterday (Froyo!) for the first time and out of principle want to see how long I can go. One of the only thing that I missed at the moment was screen captures that I need for the small amount of apps I have developed or plan on developing.
I wasn't aware of this ability in the SDK. That makes sense now.
I accidentally did a screen capture today...the phone was on the car charger and I was trying to turn the screen off, I pushed the power button and heard the shutter sound. May be a glitch of somekind
Btw, I am not rooted

Was that really called for?

I don't think so. The okay is the power button..... At least on the Vibrant. On other phones it's the okay or enter button on the keyboard but never the home or back buttons. As a matter of fact the back button does what it's supposed to. Just my 2 cents.

The OP might be screwed at this point. Unless you can remap the keys in recovery?

Dude, did you not read his entire post or do you just not understand ebonics?
HIS POWER BUTTON IS GONE!!! If you have ever flashed a rom before with clockworkmod, you would know that the "Power" button is the Ok button, which he doesn't have anymore.

Have you done anything to the file systems? Do you think it will still boot with just a hard reset? You can reset if its been rooted with adb. Do you have the sdk installed on your computer? If not, install the android sdk from the code.google site, and find an adb tutorial on this forum with the search tool..

I can 100% fix this for you. I have a few extra buttons in stock. If you send me the phone, I can solder you on a brand new one. You are not screwed...
Just PM me if you are interested....
Froyo kernels are really weird.
All of the ones I've tried have done this: I press and hold home button and it just registers it as if I pressed it and let it go. I keep doing it until it finally registers me long pressing.
Is there a way to fix?
You sure it's the kernel's fault???

Hi,
I was used to use the Resurrection remix ROM or AOKP based ROM, and the screenshot of the phone was easily made by pressing the power button which open the "reboot, shutdown..." menu and there was a screenshot option.
But now I'm using the Omega ROM, based on the samsung official ROM, and I can't find how to make a screenshot.
Can someone tell me how ?

It's a bit funny, you have to press and hold them both at exactly the same time. If you press home or power first it'll just register thst keypress.

You're right.
That's the first time that I read someone who deigns to make that point.:good:
This is useful since usually the key combinations do not require such synchronization.

This was brought up multiple times already, and several people (including yours truly ) provided that particular info...
I tried to install cm-10.1-M2 using CWM, latest version. I selected to have it wipe everything and to back up the original ROM. It failed because it couldn't "find" the ZIP. Something to do with the obnoxious way Samsung treats internal memory as "sdcard" and the actual sdcard as "external_sd." I said ****it and copied the ZIPs over to the internal SD and tried again. Did not wipe the second time. Now it is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen and will NOT boot into CWM for nothing. Am I just screwed? Is there something I'm missing?
Solved: I was using the wrong button combo for recovery mode (it's power, volume up, AND volume down) and you have to do the factory reset/wipe AFTER flashing the ROM, not before. Thanks to everyone! I may feel stupid but I have a working phone with sweet sweet 4.2.2 now. :good:

How are you trying to achieve booting onto recovery?

Go back into recovery and do a complete wipe. Then see if she will boot.

I've tried volume up + power + home plus a ton of variations. Everything I've found online says it should be volume up + power + home though.

Listen how new are you to this? I'm not being smart just wanna help are you pressing up the power and middle button once you feel the power come on it should vibrate then let go of the power while remaining to hold the middle and volume. If you hold them all it never worked for me just a tip.

I've got to wonder what we are working on here. My I717 has neither a home or middle button. Op ... Do you have the Note or the Note 2. Also wondering if you flash the proper rom for your phone.

Power off your device. Then press the power button again and immediately hold both the volume up and volume down buttons until after the Samsung logo disappears. It should be really fast.

Thanks for working with me. On my phone, home is not a physical "clicky" button, it's one of the soft buttons along the bottom of the front to the left of the back buttom . I tried to link to a photo but I'm too new to be allowed to post outside links. If volume up + power +home isn't it, how do you boot it into recovery?
It's definitely a Note 1 AT&T and an I717. As for the ROM, I used the latest quincyatt from get.cm
Re: [Q] Bircked trying to install cm-10.1-M2
Hold down the volume button in between the up and down so you are pressing both and power. Once you feel the vibration release the power button. Another user in this thread had mentioned this but it seems it was over looked

I could have sworn I had tried that but... well, it worked. I feel stupid but I am grateful. I neglected the factory reset/wipe step after flashing the ROM. It's working now. Thank you very much.
