It'll save to your gallery. If you're using a root explorer it'll be under Pictures > Screen Shots.
Before I installed Adv. Power Menu via the Xposed framework mod, I used home button + power button to take a screen shot. Now with the Adv. Power Menu I just press power until the reboot menu appears then I hit "screen shot".

Hello guys, for a long time I'm looking for the MOD that will add Screenshot button to Power Menu options.
Something like this but in that MOD there is no Screenshot button as I see. Can someone help me to find that MOD?
I'm running on HyperGalaxy ROM v1.7, JB XXDLI7 leak
So you can take screen shot of the power menu ? IT's not so hard to press Power button + Home button for 2 sec.
i love my girlfriend <3

Hi guys! I just want to share this app, called Button Remapper. I saw this in a thread here in XDA a year ago and I can't seem to find the right thread so if anyone claims din message me.
Anyhows! I'll share this so you wouldnt tend to mess up your power button, not to press it every now and then, every time you lock and unlock your phone.
Well, it saves your power button. I use this app for that, replacing the function of the capacitive search button and make it act as a power button. It make me not to use the power button frequently and makes a perfect tandem for "wake up volume rockers" option found in any CM and AOKP. As long as you install the app, there are other buttons you can remap.
I've learned that stressing the power button my cause digitizer failure.
Syntax:
-Download attachment file
-Install as normal APK
-Enjoy

There is a back button, just find the volume up or down then hover up when your in the assigning list.

Carbon rom (latest) on the Nexus 4...

This is the Atrix board, not Nexus4 board.
Hello, is there any way to take screenshots but not pressing power button and selecting 'screen capture'? Like with stock rom with the quickmemo button, or maybe with volume button + power button.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

If you have Xposed+Gravity Box, you can configure many key shortcuts to do so. For instance, I configured double press on menu button to take a screen capture (as well as long press this key for Torch).

Just installed Xposed + Gravity Box and did that, thanks for the help!
So the first is the usual Power/Volume Down. It doesn't work. It keeps bringing up the Shutdown Menu.
The second is the Palm Swipe. It works, but it captures the screen of the Multiwindow app tray.
Anyone else having issues? Wish there was an option to take a screen shot using the spen.
I hate that Samsung has overridden the usual way of taking screenshots using the power/vol buttons and there is no way I've found to re-enable it. That said, I don't have an issue with taking screenshots using the palm swipe. I think it's cumbersome and yes, you have to get it "just right" but it works for me on my tablet.
You can swipe from the left or the right to get a screenshot. Have you tried from the left so you avoid bringing up the multiwindow app tray?

I have no problems using Volume Down and Power to take a screenshot.
Also, you could take a screenshot with the S-Pen by setting it to open Screen Write when you long press the button. You'd simply need to tap save without editing anything.

Thanks for your inputs. It's really odd that the power/volume doesn't work for me. The palm swipe from left works...unfortunately...i have palms with very high traction, lol...so it's very cumbersome. The screen write function is probably what's going to be the easiest for me. :good:
How odd. I've tried every thing I can think of using power and volume down (and up) and get no screenshot. All I get is the power off screen.
It's been very annoying for me because trying to swipe to get a screenshot is a test of my patience. I usually end up swiping and moving around what I wanted a shot of.

Perhaps you're pressing them too long? You just need to tap both at the same time, do not hold them. For me, if I hold them, I get the power options, but simply tapping them takes a screenshot.
Also, which build are you using?
Oh jeeze! It worked. Quickly tapping the buttons is the trick! Wow, never knew. Every other Android device I've owned required pressing and holding the buttons for a screenshot. Leave it to Samsung to be different...
Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, my Tab S was hold iirc. Maybe Samsung changed it this time because it's no longer the power button, it can now activate Bixby - Perhaps their testing proved it to be awkward with Bixby if you hold.
Anyway, glad I could help.

I believe they changed the hold time to a quick simultaneous press due to the newer Samsung phones (ie Note 10) using hold power button to bring up Bixby by default. Probably caused an issue by calling up Bixby when attempting to take a screenshot? Not sure, but it seems to make sense based on when this was changed.
