How to take screenshots? - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hello fellows,
I have question about screenshots in SGS2. How I can take them? Only by special application, connecting it to PC via HDMI cable or another? I was just wondering to take some pictures from Galaxy on Fire 2 and Reckless Racing
Thanks and greetings.

Press Menu and Power at the same time.

shoot me on the market is good too. sometimes i want to take a screenshot while pressing a button and cant with the built in screenshot feature so i use shoot me.
you just shake the phone to take a screen shot.

Press and release POWER
Release HOME

Press both at same time is actually right. You can hold HOME and press POWER and release POWER and stay holding HOME though.

I'm using "screen capture" on the market
here's the link

HOME + POWER works like a charm, no root required, no need to install any additional apps

Hallelujah! I never got that, was pressing both buttons simultaneously which just locked the screen. This works better, though still not every time like on iOS.

[Q] Can you change what Long Press on the Home button does?

Long Pressing Home brings up the recently used apps list. Single pressing the button to the right does the same thing, so the long press seems wasteful. I would like to change Home's Long Press action to bring up the application drawer. Is this possible?

Long pressing home on my phone doesn't do that, are you on stock ROM?
I am on a custom rom. I guess this has to be baked into the rom then?

Would think so, don't know if its kernel or ROM dependant.

Thank you very much, but when i press(hold) the power btn, then the menu pop up and when I press more on the volume down, the sound level still opened!
Is there any response or any notice when the screen was taken?
You have to press and hold both buttons at the same time.
Power + vol down
It makes cam noise ,gives preview and notification in notification bar
Good luck

[REQUEST] [MOD] screenshot with button combo rather than swipe

wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.

[Q] how to screenshot?

Just looking for keystroke to screenshot on the lg optimus g. After extensive google searching, reading the manual, and inquiring with my carriers tech support I have come up empty handed. If anyone knows you're assistance is greatly appreciated.
Volume down + power
From the drop down use quickmemo or the volume rocker when pressed it is like doing both at the same time
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
press the volume down button and the power button at the same time. It was a bit tricky for me at first but after a few attempts it become really easy.
Best way is to hold down the volume rocker. +/- does quick note, from there you can just click save. much easier.

Problem taking screenshot

Hi there
When I press Volume Down + Power Button the phone opens up a power menu, where I can choose to shut down, restart etc.
I want to use the default feature of this key combination to take screenshot, I have checked the settings and couldn't find anything that would help.
Would appreciate your assistance.
Regards

Just click and release both Power and volume down buttons for screenshot. Don't press and hold.
or activate hand swipe or use s-pen. Most often I use s-pen so I can make notes.
