Screenshot issue - G2 General

So I know I can screenshot by a) swiping up from the home, and to the right or b) from pulldown, hit quick memo.
My question is, how can I take a screenshot of a full screen picture I took. When I do option a or b, I have the bottom row of pics that pops up and the back/home /menu keys in my screenshot?

Press the power and volume- key on the back at the same time. Don't know for anyone other than Verizon, but pretty easy to do with one finger.

Got it. Awesome. Thanks

Did you know about screen capture?

I will not take credit for finding this because I'm sure its already been mentioned earlier than i have searched but.....
When holding the stylus, if you press the grey button on the side of it down by the tip and then press and hold the tip on your screen while pressing the grey button, it takes a screen shot of your display. Lets you draw or write on the image and send/share/save/discard...whatever you want. I found this by accident today.
Pretty neat. I wonder what else this thing does that I don't about. Amaaaazing device....wow.

The screen shot feature with the S-Pen is very well known.
Also, if you hold the button and swipe with the S-Pen you are able to use home, menu and back keys.
Button + Swipe Up = Menu
Button + Swipe Down = Home
Button + Swipe Left = Back
Also holding your phone, using the side of your hand, swipe from right to left takes a screenshot of current display

Lol, no it only works sometimes for me. I wouldnt worry about that. It could be my case or screen protector or both. But besides the mentioned ways you can press the home button and power button at the same time for a screenshot.

[Q] Remap Menu Key to Recents

Anyone have a good way to do this? I found the files in the /system/usr/ folder but I'm not exactly sure what to edit...
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Sorry to bump my own post, but I figured out how to remap APP_SWITCH to MENU, but I can't seem to get the 3 dot overflow menu button to show up in apps (like chrome), or map google now/search to long press home or long press menu. If anyone has any insight on this I'd greatly appreciate it.
While this isn't exactly what you want, I think you should be able to enable the navigation bar to give you the virtual home/recent/back buttons and trigger the virtual menu button. I don't have this phone, but it should work to just open up the build.prop and add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (requires root obviously) and reboot. I've only done this on a galaxy s cm so it may go badly with a stock rooted... try at your own risk. If you do try, please respond (and post a screenshot ) as I'm curious and considering this phone.
I tried adding that line (again) but no luck...

It looks like (from the screenshot) that you have it =1, not 0. You want it to =0 because it's like saying false, there are no hard keys so android should add the navigation bar. Try changing it to =0, and maybe use a text editor like the one in root browser (free) and reboot. Let me know what happens
Wow you're right... stupid mistake on my part haha, I'll get right back to you after I try it again.
EDIT: Yup that did the trick. Not quite what I was looking for but cool anyways. Thanks!
Now is there anyway to remove the 3 dot overflow bar since my menu key still works lol

Can you post a screenshot? I'm not sure which you mean (3 dot menu or nav bar). Enabling the nav bar is just an easy way to get both a multitask button and the virtual menu button in an app's action bar. I'm not sure about just getting the action bar menu button, but if you don't figure it out it is a setting in cm10/10.1
Its not a big deal since I think it only applies in the settings menu, but yeah I would love to have cm 10 haha
Edit: Sorry about the ridiculous image size...

Any way to program long press of back button to kill app?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to mess with the systemui.apk to edit any of the long presses

Don't worry we'll see it as soon as cm 10 comes around.
Sorry to double post again, but does anyone know if we're able to theme the softkeys on this phone using similar methods as the galaxy nexus?

A: How to change front buttons

Go into settings
tap menu button at the bottom -> Switch to tab view
Go to display tab, there is the "Front touch buttons". You can change the buttons and the color.
I could never find it in the list view.
This is useful on the verizon lg g2. Probably already tab view and easy to find on the other ones.

No need to change to tab view. It's under "Display".
Where do we change the lock screen apps on the bottom?

Yeah this would bother me also. I believe the only other option is a toggle notification button. So lame.

Also from home screen hit the menu button on the right and it'll say lock screen settings.
It'd not under lock screen. Can you check it out and try to change apps there.

How do I take a screenshot of my screen?

On my old tablet I could take a picture of me screen simply by pressing the previous app button, but this does not work on my Xperia. What's the best way of taking screenshots with this device?

Push and hold the power button. On the menu to turn it off there is a button to take a screenshot.

I prefer the mini app.
Tap the Recent Apps softkey and you should find it.

I tried that, but for some reason it would crop away the edges so I never had a full screenshot
I didn't notice this. Will check it tonight.

Notification screen

Anyone know if there's a setting where I can swipe down on the status bar and just get the notifications to show up? Everytime I swipe down I get the volume bars and the toggles so I have to swipe up to hide them. It's rather annoying
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
I think it's that way by design. I remember having a custom stock rom on my G3 that had that as an option but it's was never that way in the pure stock rom....
When you pull down, swipe the quick settings panel all the way to the left (at the right most option). You should see the quick settings edit button. Click that button and it will bring you to a check list. Uncheck brightness and volume
