1. Power key then select take screenshot
2. Power key and volume down
3. Acive clip from the small apps (recents menu)
You can try mods or 3rd party apps if the inbuilt methods do not apeal to you.

[Q] Screenshots on L7 II and CM11

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).

Home and Power button replacement (no-root)

For the people who is a control freak, or with broken power or home buttons, I am happy to share these two absolutely beautiful apps I have discovered.
1. Multi-action home button
http://www.google.co.in/url?q=https...7n4pkQ&usg=AFQjCNFsr2yX486-UxxUG3mGaS0z1TT6fQ
This app makes a virtual home button on the screen just above the home button. Various configurations to try. Double tap or long hold options available to set according to the user.
2. My Home button
http://www.google.co.in/url?q=https...YAjxHg&usg=AFQjCNHBABZ8kToSryvhOweLEj1UNpyu9w
This app enables a widget on the notification panel with option for home, recents and power buttons (and another one for app shortcuts ) Very handy if u r concerned about breaking ur power and home button.
And if u are handy with apktool and modding systemui, here is another option for the systemui mod. Try this link, and yes, this option requires root and works only on Samsung devices.

Cheers. And plz help me get some recognition in this community by hitting thanks button below.
Thanks for the recommendations. Didn't know Multi Action Home Button. Nice app, but like so often: pulling down the notification bar doesn't work on Lolliflop anymore!

Multi action home button is bada**. Lol. I use it all the time, and my home button, I use it just to lock the phone. Using Nova launcher prime, and fortunately the swipe down gesture works for notification panel in the latest update.

Taking a screenshot

I'm unable to take screenshot with alpha. Palm gesture is really one tough process so I thought if any other way screenshot can be taken by using physical key i.e. press and hold volume down with power button. I tried using some 3rd party software but didn't work out.
Any ideas ppl.
You take screenshots by pressing power and home button together.

Allways on Navigation Bar? Request!

Is there anyway I can have the navigation bar on all the time? Including fullscreen videos? I hate having to click back on the camera (and other apps) for the navbar to appear when I can just press home if the navbar was always on. Is there anyway to do this through Xposed orany other method?
The soft keys?
If you're talking about the soft keys then there are 2 ways for them to pop up on the screen.
1. Tap the screen (this only works on certain apps)
2. Swipe - if you're in landscape mode then swipe the right edge inwards the soft keys will appear.
If you're in Portrait then swipe up from the bottom edge and the soft keys will appear.
But if you're talking about the Navigation bar then you need to swipe Downward no matter if you're in Landscape or Portrait..

I know how to make them appear, I'm asking if there's a way to make them stay there all the time like physical keys. Off topic is there also a way to remove the delay response of holding the power button for the power options to appear?

Sorry I can't give you firm answers because my phone is with LG for repair, but I do recall seeing in settings options for when the buttons appear and disappear. It allowed you to set it on a per-app basis.
As for the delay response for the power button, your best bet would be to see if there is an Xposed plugin. To use Xposed you'll need to root the phone.
When I get my phone back I can give you more specifics, but LG has the worst warranty repair service and has yet to fix the issue after sending it to them four times.
You at JBLM? Thanks for your service!

Thanks for your reply :angel: but I've looked at everything possibly related to power button delay or the navigation bar (soft keys) on Xposed before posting here and still nothing. I did find a screenshot delay remover in Xposed and works great. Finding the power button is not as important as the soft keys because I can just use Rom Toolbox's rebooter and power/reboot/recovery etc... The soft keys thing on the other hand I would like to have because I hate having to pull up for them to make them appear... Iv'e looked at the settings you mention for showing/not showing per app but every app is not listed, its just some of the apps on your phone (apps that I would like to have the soft keys always on are mostly video apps which are not listed on this settings.) I', almost used to it by now, I just rather have the keys always on or a phone with actual physical keys.
Yes I live in JBLM . I'm a dog handler in the Army.
