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 ?

Nope.
Power + anything you want doesn't work.

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.

Just a heads up, to take a screenshot, click and hold both volume down and Power for about 1 second. Should see the touchscreen flash.

Thanks - good tip - maybe we need a tips thread rather than a bunch of one-offs, though.
Not going to lie, I had to Google this.
Edit - GB method for screenshots work as well.

I usually just share out with whatever app. Click the upper right corner and this little triangular thing will show up. Click that to share. I think you can long press to copy, but I'm not sure.

Double check what model of phone you have. Most common cause of soft keys/menu keys/capacitive keys not functioning correctly is because you flashed a ROM not intended for your model of phone. (usually an SGH-I777 ROM on an I9100, or an I9100 ROM on an SGH-I777) Which is mild compared to the possibility of completely bricking the phone if the hardware is disparate enough.
That ROM you referenced ([ROM][4.0.4][AROMA][OTA][TABLET MODE] D4 Rom v10 - D4 Theme Engine v4.0 [29/04/2012]) is for the GT-I9100.
You only referenced the fact that you have a samsung galaxy s2. Well, there are over a dozen different models of Galaxy SII...
Look on the label under your battery. What does it say for Model?
thank you for answering,i do have the i9100 gt...

Hmm. Do you have a lock screen, and a menu when you home power for 1-2 sec?
Flash another ROM. Or flash this one again.
Probably because your tablet mode rom doesnt use the menu button but soft key.

So you're saying the Menu soft key does absolutely nothing?

My bad, think you should ask this in the rom thread your using. May be the developer will help you out.
But this time fix your title to proper question.

You said in your OP that it does nothing... But in any case, I agree with atifsh. Sounds ROM related. I'm on stock, and when I hold the menu button, if the search option is available, it will open.
Thanks anyway!

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

Long pressing the power will do a hard reboot, used if phone were to become froze and unresponsive.I can't answer your question on how you would change that function.

I guess I mean medium press? The one that brings up the menu of what you'd like to do, shutdown shutdown and restart, etc. Well before it just shuts off from holding it down.
Works perfectly!

You know, like on all the aosp and cyanogen ROM's. Push the power button and you get the option to boot to recovery, download mode, restart, shut off, etc...

I disagree, if you are using The Base this is the quickest way to reboot to recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035273
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:

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.
