My home button is dead. Technician said I need whole LCD part to fix it, and it is very expensive.
Any software solutions for this, like installing a custom rom with virtual buttons?

I do not recommend.Here is a rule and a tip:NEVER FLASH WITHOUT WORKING HARDWARE BUTTONS!.If you flash a ROM,you might not be able to enter Recovery or Download mode,and you risk bricking your phone. Replace the HOME button.And if HOME button is completely dead,ROM/Kernel flashing won't help.

If you are running 4.1+ on your galaxy s2,then I got the best solution for you.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tm_medium=organic&utm_term=button+saviour+pro
Check this out.Its great
It can simulate on screen buttons without root for 4.1+ !
And there is a root version too for phones on and lower than 4.0
No need for a new ROM!
Hit THANKS if I helped you.

Hi there,
I try do capture the screen of my SGS2 with ICS 4.0.4, I9100XWPT firmware, non-rooted. The usual key combination POWER-Volume down isn't working. It seems the 4.0.4 firmware version removed the ability to make a screen capture.
Q: How do I make a screen shot with the 4.0.4 stock versions ?

On my ICS 4.0.3 it's a combination of Power + Home button. See if that helps.
Thank you for the answer, but no, that won't work. I've tried every possible key combination, without success. It seems that Samsung removed the screenshot functionality from the 4.0.4 firmware

the combination for GS2 is : Power + home button .. but unlike gingerbread , the timing is a little different in ICS , i mean u must press both buttons on the same time

Sorry, I tried everything, Power + Vol Down too. It won't work for me and it worked for all previous versions including 4.0.3 and 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I suspect the current 4.0.4 version removed the screenshot functionality...
Correction, okay, it's back to Power-Home, not Vol Down anymore and the timing has changed as well...the Power-Vol combination was much easier to handle.
Thanks for your time...

There are also free apps that will take screen shots by simply shaking your device.

It's different than in GB but it works like you said: press both buttons at same time. The timing when pressing both buttons is important, I had to try several times to get a screenshot... I thing I have to practice my motor capabilities... hahaha

what kernel you use ?
i think you have a problem related with yourself, not the phone.
if the back button (or any other capacitive button) gets wet or moist, it will stop responding.
wipe it with dry clothes and keep it from getting wet.
report if it solved the problem, if not, it's broken, take it to service.

I do agree with you as my entire phone stopped working after it cam in contact with water. I did manage to save it except for the back button. The service center's here (Mumbai,India) are quiet unreasonable with their repair quotes for a non warranty device.Hence would you know which part of the hardware needs replacing so that i may do it myself?
I did open my device and found a blue plastic like thing attached to the display (image attached for reference). Would you know if i need to change the entire display.
Thanks for reading.

Try pushing power + home button simultaneously (for 5 sec or something like that)
Turn on motion in settings and then swipe the edge of your palm from one side of the screen to the other.

power button + home button together
else turn on motion under setting > palm swipe to capture
then use your palm either swipe from left to right or right to left to take screen shot

Yeap... no crack there: he is right.
That combination has been the default method in stock ROMs since the days of the first Galaxy S, and even although the swype thing works in the S III, the PWR+HOME combo was kept.
