This thread is dedicated to tips and tricks in the new Jelly Bean 4.1 update! This is meant for everybody to give a few out... This is mine(since its different from ICS)
Hold down the Volume down and power down button for 2 seconds for a screenshot.
Another one we all know is, tap on the android version a bunch of times for a Jelly Bean to pop up...

Pinch out home screen and icons dissapear.

Dude, that JellyBean easter egg... BEST EVER! hahaha

Swapping internal with external (root required)
Thanks to Mateo1111 post, this is his script for swapping external and internal, The script works good, but it needs a little touch up, it make an infinite (at least for me it did) swap of external and internal, you will see what i mean if you try it.
Mateo's post is the third on that page,
p.s. go thank him

Download any tether widget/app and when you turn it on it will turn on the stock tether app and you can use all of the stock features without having the tethering plan.
-SPQR

Go thank kevev, for this awesome work

Not sure if it was like this before, but you can pinch zoom to resize the font in the messaging app.

long press on any notification, it will show app info

With the jelly bean easter egg if you long press the jelly bean that pops up a bunch will appear and move around. Just figured that out messing around

You can also move and flick around the jelly beans on that screen!
I wonder what would happen if you managed to flick them all off the screen...

I think I tried that and more appeared. either that or nothing happens. either way, great time waster.

I can't seem to get the screenshot thing to work, is there a setting or an app that I need to download?

You can hold volume up & volume down at the same time to bring up quick memo. It will screen shot this way.

I don't think so, but the Volume button way should also work like what he said, or what I find easier is pulling down notifications and just pressing QuickMemo...

hold volume down and power until it says screenshot captured, i just did this last night

apparently my edit wasn't saved. I figured it out.

Anyone figure out if it's possible to replace Q-Slide apps with those that we want? I know there's a mod for hiding Q-Slide all together, but can't find anything about replacing apps :fingers-crossed:

Hello Friends,
Here is a hidden feature of our L9:
When camera or camcorder is on, then pressing vol up or down buttons it captures snap or start/stop capturing video.
One more additional feature I found was, while taking a picture with cam, if you keep pressing vol up or down buttons for long time, it will take continues shots until you keep pressing button
I think no buddy knows that before, even i also known that before today:victory::victory:

How to Take Screenshots Without Root (No App Required!)

I'm sorry if there is another thread/post about this, but I searched and couldn't find one. With the new update, 2.08.651.2, I noticed that you can now take screenshots without having to root your phone.
This can be done by holding down the power button and pressing the home button.
The screen flashes, the phone vibrates (from pressing the home button) and it gives you a message telling you the screenshot was saved to camera shots. In your camera shots album, it will show the screenshot. The screenshot is an OK quality JPG.
All I got was a black pic, I also have my resolution set at 190 dpi, so that may have borked it. I use drocap anyway.

Yep. Just like you would on an iPhone/iPad. Just hold down the power button and click home. When you release the power button, it will tell you the screenshot was successfully taken, but it still takes the screenshot right when you press home.
There is an app called no root screenshot it on the market but its really annoying because you have to plug your phone into your computer every time you reboot

[Q] Change Power Button behaviour on call in CM7?

Hey guys!
In CM7, when I hit the Ace's power button, it ends the call. I don't want this, I want the good old turn-off screen, like on stock roms. I searched everywhere and I didn't found any option to change this.
Can someone point me what can I do?
Thanks!
Setting/call setting and tick on always use proximity

cm7 power button ends call in galaxy ace
I switched over to cm7 on my galaxy ace a week ago. Its very frustrating that the power button ends the call, i always disabled the proximity sensor in stock firmware and kinda used to that.
everytime i try to turn the screen off in a call, it actually ends the call. There is no option in accessibility settings to prevent power button from ending the call (screenshots attached)
I also downloaded an app phone settings manager and that too has no effect.
please help!
Same as here. Using CM7 from vo-1. I think that I'll switch to the one provided by FAT. Can someone confirm if it has that option in Accessibility?
This is what I have. Apart being in portugese, of course.
you can download "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
this is what I did.
so when someone calls. press the home button to go to your home screen then click the shortcut you have or if not go to your app drawer and press it to turn off your screen.
I'm using go launcher so I set the application to be activated when I glide down my finger in my home screen.

I've used Grif's CM7 and in that ROM, POWER BUTTON ENDS CALL option was in Accessibility only
I don't think that I'll need this anymore. Yesterday I was using the phone when I needed to hang-up the call, and it was right in front of me, so I didn't needed to power-on screen, unlock it and then hang-up. I just hit the power-button and done!
Also, I think that I can live with the screen-delay to power-off.

Whatsapp vibration pattern
Can anyone tell me if theres an app to increase the intensity of vibration if we get a message on whatsapp? I have to keep my phone on vibration in class and always miss out on the messages as the vibration intensity is too low.
I figured how to change it for gmail and sms through an app but how can i change it for other apps like whatsapp?

Yes there's a thread floating around, I can't remember exactly where it is. But use root explorer and edit the shutter.ogg file iirc

Anyone else?, this little puppy had been out a few weeks now!
Wasn't this made not changeable *atleast within the default app* because of something that happened in Europe. About no spy camera shots or something.. They wanted the noise so you couldn't take hidden pictures. Or something along those lines..
So if thats for Europe chances are they will include the option to disable it in the US varient right?
Screenshot works for me just like the s2 did. Home + power. They need yo be pressed at exactly the same time and held for a second or two.

I've tried /dozens/ of times - it simply doesn't work for me.
To disable the shutter noise you need to delete the audio files, which requires root access.
Is there a way without deleting the files? Just replacing the apk so I can have an option of sound out not sound?
you can use pretty much any of the other hundreds of camera apps in the market. most of them will correspond to the volume setting of your ringtone so if you set the system sound to silent they will have no shutter sound.
my least favourite thing in the whole world is shuttersound, except in burst modes.

thats beacuse in s3 you have to hold both buttons one or two seconds.
you can do it too by dragging the side of your hand through the screen from left to right
The sad part is that because of a few people that deteriate the gene pool, we have to put up with that damnable shutter sound.
Thing is, if we replace the camera with another one on the market, which one would be better - the built in one or the market one? Does the built in camera app make those great shots or the hardware?
Open Root Explorer - Navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Mount R/W
Rename shutter.ogg to shutter.ogg.bak or just delete it.
To undo, just rename it back

To mute camera just mute the phone with your volume buttons.
Screen shot still works with Power and home button just push and hold them for a couple of seconds.

This solution is quite widespread online but many people say it doesn't work for them.
I can confirm it's working for me - 16GB, pebble blue, Vodafone, UK - but it seems different markets can't stop the shutter sound this way.
Is there really no way to disable it without root

Home button LED on a little brother of our L9

Hey guys, I just saw today on a friend who got an LG phone which is L5 and when he receives sms or get a missed call his button is blinking in many different colours. Also, when he reboot the phone that LED is entertaining the holder which is pretty nice . My question is if we got something like this ? If yes with what app and if no which was the reason of breaking this feature off on a better phone than this one ? I left a link below to understand better what I mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaX50eMrQ1k&feature=youtu.be
LE: I found that is the 2nd generation and they got button LED allerts. Perhaps is auto solved.
Wait, the l5 2 has button LED notifications and the l9 doesn't? That sucks, it looks so neat. Its a shame about its 512 mb of ram though.
well read the later edit. the l9 2 will have too that home button led notification.

L9 II dont have a physical home button , so maybe it will be at some other location i Guess ( If at all its there )
It really sucks that LG is getting rid of the physical home button on their newer devices. I find it very useful, there's no accidental home button presses and you can use it to wake up your phone. Not to mention if they put the notification LED there it would look sweet.
I find that using the LG Nofications app works well enough, you can use the backlights of the soft keys as notification lights, they light up and slowly flash when you receive a message, gmail or miss a call. You can also use those key lights for charge status and there is an option to enable other apps to use the lights too e.g. Facebook

Yeah, I tested it too but that home button LED is much much prettier and u must admit that and is very different when u use an app which wake up ur phone every "x" seconds for the notification alert and when that LED is hardware based on.
installed lg touch led but no led for home button...
Guys, our phone does not have a notification led on the home button. No app or rom will make the home button light up like that because we do not have the hardware for it.
