Simple do any roms support it? Rather by pressing the menu button and then clicking screen shot, or simply pressing the power button while pressing another button.
Beastmod extreme 5.0...thats what im using. All you have to do is hold home then press power. Simple.

Well I didn't want to crowd up his thread but I had some questions. First anyway to take screenshots? I can't figure it out. Also with the touch wiz is there a way to change the standard 5 icons?
Also feel free to post other questions from his uvle1 rom if y'all want to help with the clutter control...

Interesting enough a reboot fixed the issue. Any word on tw icons?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I am actually running v4 if its the same then all you have to do is press and drag the shortcut over which ever one of the standard ones you want to replace and it should switch spots
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Did you figure it out? IM on v7 now and all you gotta do is go to the apps screen and then edit after that you should be able to move the icons around

I was wondering if we could somehow enable soft keys to pop up when the S pen was removed from the phone? I know there is an app that you can use gestures for the S Pen, however using soft keys on the bottom when the S pen was pulled out would be an awesome feature.

last time someone brought this up the quick gesture option built in was given as a good replacement of soft menu....but i could see tying a soft key app to the pen extraction being do_able..like the memo pop up option

here is a quote from the original post linked
not for me but it works. the app "soft keys" would be great but it does not work. looking through the orig nook color forum might find something.

Hi
I saw this method on how to enable soft-keys mod .
Here we go.
navigate to system/build.prop
go to the bottom of the page ( document )
add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save
reboot
check
Peace

this worked for me, but do you know of a way to disable the hardware keys so that the software ones are the only thing that works?
namely the hard home key the post answered menu and back

go through that thread and some of the threads linked from it...in one of them they go over how to disable them
be cautious though...the menu soft button does not appear on the home screen

comment out lines on /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl, like so...
Code:
# key 158 BACK
# key 172 HOME
# key 139 MENU
physical home button, however, will still wake up the device (which i prefer) and long pressing on it will bring up s-/google- voice. if you wish otherwise, you can disable it altogether by editing the line on gpio-keys.kl (same directory as above)...
Code:
# key 172 HOME WAKE
then turn off lights via settings/display/touchkey light duration. works on both ics and jb sammy roms. HTH

I understand how to change build.prop to take advantage of enabling and disabling the soft keys. However I was wondering if maybe one of our smart devs would be able to incorporate it into a rom, so the soft keys are disabled when the Spen is in the phone, but then enabled when the Spen is taken out. This would be a a sick feature!!!

Hey guys,
As the title says, my power button is broken. I'm currently using the volume rockers and the home key to turn the screen on and off. Is there any way to remap the power button function to the other keys?
Thanks!
Questions and help issues go in Q&A

Well if you are rooted and on a rom with a navigation bar you can put the power button on that, long press brings up the the menu too. Also, for turning on the screen, ktoonsez kernel has swipe to wake. Slide show across the screen and the phone wakes up.

Remapping comes only when phone is booted up. I don't think there is a way to remap it when turned off without hardware or core firmware built in into motherboard being modified.

Why not send it someplace to have it fixed . I don't recall it being very expensive and probably is under warranty

No matter what OS, on jellybean, the feature to screenshot doesn't show up, on stock I can't screenshot at all. CM10.1 is the only one I can do so on. I would prefer stock, but I'm using that T-Mobile JB leak, and I don't know if that feature just wasn't included, or what?
Can you guys help me here? How can I screenshot on stock?

No your in the development section not Q&A and yes volume down and power does work and always has for any ROM on this device that I have used. Timing had to be right but it works.

I understand that it is the normal way to do it. I always do it, on my tablets, on my phones, everything. It just won't work. I've reinstalled stock, I've installed Jedi jelly, Jedi mind trick, anything that comes with touchwiz will not let me screenshot.
Tl;Dr, the button combination doesn't work, and none of the apps do. It's like the ability is absent from my phone. ICS and gingerbread it works on, as well as CM or AOKP, but none other.

Im using screenshot ux app to do that on stock jb leak rooted, never been able myself to use the button combo to work on any device. Lol.

I just had a brainfart and figured it out. The leak is for the version of the t989 with the centered home button, so when I hold down home and power, it screenshots! Just for anyone else who has this issue.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
So I was wondering about this, and figured out that unlike htc, when you want a screen shot, you hold the power button and just tap the home button, the official t989 tmous release of jb requires that you press and hold both the power button and home button, at the same time, for two seconds, it will screen shot! It feels not very intuitive as the amaze, but still not complaining, I enjoy it very much, just going through sense w/d's, without my weather widget, or all the other cool full screen widgets, fm radio ect ect
thanks .... screen capture on Kodoo Gs2x or T989d
