Native screenshot feature? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so my friend has the fascinate and holding back and pressing the power key takes a screenshot. If the tw rom from that phone was ported to our phone, would the screenshot feature be preserved, and work on the epic?

As far as I'm aware that's a kernel function, is his phone on GB?
Disclaimer, I can be wrong however lol.

Her phone is on gingerbread. And wow, that's not wat I expected. I thought it was just a rom feature.

I tried pushing the screenshot apk to my Epic when I had it and it didn't work. Either the button mapping is different of its something in the kernel

wake phone by volume keys

does anybody know if there is a mod that will wake the phone by the volume keys tested to work on our phone with out having to use "widget locker"
thanks in advance for any help
I know I have seen that on several roms I have flashed, but, i can't remember exactly which ones..
I think it is on roms that have the TSM Lockscreen Mod on them..
widgetlocker also allows this

I read widget locker doesnt wake samsug phones by the volume the reason im looking for this is because I had it on my inc2 running miui and I got use to it I feel lost with out it plus I like to use my power button the least possible
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
In WidgetLocker there is an option to disable stock lockscreen. That will cause volume buttons to wake phone up.
Widget locker definitely works, has option for during music only, also.
Stupidity has no cure. Read the directions. Try harder.

I read the same like I said I don't own widget locker it seems kind of of a waste to get widget locker since I'm not a widget lover just to use the volume wake

i found a better solution for anybody looking for this just install MILocker from the market is free which gives you a ton of different lockscreens from miui plus the wake phone by volume keys
https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5taXVpLmhvbWUiXQ..
only thing is only a few of the locks are in full english so you would have to look for them which takes a little time but well worth it

i saw a thread about editing the xml files of each locker in MiLocker in order to get rid of the chinese. i honestly dont know when or where, but it IS here. so if you find one you just gotta have, you can always change it... lol...

[MOD] SkyRaider1.3 - Volume as Camera Shutter Button

this will allow you to take a picture using either the volume up, or volume down button. this is an edit to the htccamera.apk, so this does NOT mess with the volume settings.

In some other post you said that SR Zeus 1.3 is your fave ROM, most stable, etc. I totally agree, but your ICS theme for it makes it all the more special. Now with this mod, even sweeter! I'm currently rocking CM7 (i need a fully working camera, so no CM9) b/c I'm a flashing addict (ROM flashing, that is). Are there any support groups for those of us who can't go more than a few days w/o flashing? (Sorry for the off-topic).

editing of the .smali code in the systemui.apk
requires decompiling, editing the code, then recompiling.
that said, I've never tried to even do this MOD, if I did I'd make it, in the mean time, I can just make that icon transparent..
it will be a blank space if say the sync icon or something else is next to it

Found a mod to add galaxy nexus like navigation keys to rooted stock rom

Sorry if this has already been posted or in wrong section, and I take no credit for it but I found it to be pretty cool. To add soft keys to rooted stock touchwiz rom all you have to do is add this line to the build prop and reboot.

Or you could just download "Soft keys" from the Play store!!!!!

You can do whatever you want.... I just thought it was interesting that it wasn't completely disabled and was easily added...If you don't like it or have something else you use, that's great.

Download it, get the apk and zip it in the ROM, or you can use TB to integrate it into ROM.

Why would I do that? I just edited the build prop and it's there...... I understand there are other ways to get soft keys. But I wanted them built in like the galaxy nexus so when I found this mod I thought I'd share......

Agree with you. I am using the same method on my HD2 CM9 for 8 months now.
My SGS3 will arrive today and I am glad that this method will apply to rooted stock rom. Was wondering if this method CM rom only or also stock rom.
Thank you for your information.
IMO this method is way better than some softkey apps because it doesn't use ram and is native like.

I would love to disable my hard keys. I am new at this stuff, so forgive my ignorance.
I have a t-mobile unlocked 32gb white rooted with AOKP jellybean- 4th release
And I cannot find any other mods to the physical buttons, like making the home button a camera button. Not as important, but would love to know if you can tell me.
Thanks!

Look in the android development section. I made one to disable the hardware keys. And someone else made one to change home button to camera button.

Screenshot on Stock SIII ROM?

I am on CM10 right now all because it has the option of a screenshot and i love the stock ROM for the SIII. I have tried all of the screenshot apps and they don't work at all and i hate them so much. Is there a MOD or something to get the option of holding down the power button and taking a screenshot with the stock ROM?

Hold the Home button+power button. This is standard on new devices like the S3 so no additional screen shot apps are required.

I did not know that. That's awesome. Thank you so much
Or you could just put your hand on it's side and slide it across the screen. This also takes a screenshot on the stock rom.
