6.0, accidentally screenshot a picture, how'd I do that? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5

So I was holding my phone in my hand, not touching the power or home button, but I wiped my screen off with my hand and it somehow took a screenshot..??? I tried to replicate it but it won't happen, is there some alternate way to take screenshots in 6.0 that I don't know about..?
Thanks!

If you swipe the side of your palm from right to left it screenshots it that way. You have to do it at a certain speed though and by your palm i mean making it look like you're chopping something in half.. To see what I mean go into Settings and then look for Advanced features and you'll see "palm swipe to capture" tap it and it will show you how to do it.

Hold power and home

Close camera with X

I saw this cab once but after about 4 hours of searching I can not find it. It is a cab that lets you close the camera directly from the capture screen. If anyone has it can you point me in the right direction?

Is that something that's not present in later WM versions? I'm running 6.1, and I can close the camera right from the capture screen just by hitting the little menu icon (right below the "capture" button on the screen), and when I do that, I get the 3 option icons across the bottom, along with an "X" in the top right for closing the camera app...that doesn't appear for you?

My WM6.5 works the same way.
Here's a tip for anyone who cares...
I personally find hitting the "X" a bit troublesome because you first have to hit the menu icon to bring up the "X".
So, I use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller to map the Back hardware key to "Close active window" whenever the Camera application is active.
All I have to do to exit and close the Camera app is to hit the Back key...

I think he means the back key on the front of the phone, just to the left of the "end" key

As sirphunkee kindly noted above, I meant using the Back button on the face of the device.

I do the same but with a double tap of the end key. Easily my favorite feature of that software. To the OP though, the X shows up on the capture screen about 3-4 seconds after launching the camera (long hold on the PTT button with the RKC, love that software ), which actually closes the software instead of minimizing it like most other programs. At least on NRG roms anyway...
When I am in capture mode I have to push the little icon at the bottom that looks like a usb stick. Then the settings icons, the camera modes and somthing else comes up and then I get the X in the top corner.

Camera and Home button

Hello! Nobody working to map the Home or Power On button to take pictures? Regards..
Yeah, was looking for this as well... Looked into tasker but that doesn't seem to be appropriate for it (was thinking something 'in camera app, if btn pressed, do this)
power button for taking pictures would be awesome!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
wouldn't that mean you cant turn off your phone or on because if theres a dedicated camera key theres no power button
i´d say the camera app should be modded to use the power key, so only when camera is open this is true.
well on JM2 the powe button does something when you use the camera ... it lock every function
that's weird because you can't do anything ... no taking pictures, no killing the app, only unlock it by pressing the power button again
I agree this i cool in the video player
but in the camera ?!?

Selftimer.
Not a self-timer afaik. Even a lock icon comes up. I have used it a few times. Basically when you wait to take a picture you can have the picture app open and then have it in the pocket ready to be taken out, so you don't have to worry about a) opening the app quickly when you want to take the pic, b) having the app open and taking pictures/returning to home when you don't want to. Not a "must-have" feature by any means and it probably uses a lot more battery than just opening the app when you want to.
Changing it to take pictures would be most welcomed. Tapping on the screen is quite a delicate thing when you don't want to move the phone at all.
I meant that it could get practical if you put the camera on selftimer and lock the screen so you don't mistakenly press any button.

ok, but i found this still stupid
it empty the battery for nothing, and people who don't take much attention won't see the lock icon so they will think : **** it bugged ....

I was looking at this, as I want some way to take pics quickly. Home and Power button don't seem easily do-able, but does anybody want the following?
Quick launching app that you can put on your homescreen, that launches a camera preview. Tapping on the screen takes a pic and saves it to /sdcard/$date.jpg
Not quite a dedicated camera button, but should be very fast for taking a quick picture. If a couple people want it, I'll throw it together quickly. (Might just throw it together for myself quickly anyway )

I find the lock function to be useful when taking long videos as I've accidental knocked the stop button on occasion by accident.
On a second note, if a physical shutter button was sought-after wouldn't the volume buttons be more effective as the power button is fairly near the top and you'll probably end up covering the lens versus using the volume buttons on the bottom (this is presuming you're taking pictures in landscape, right?)

Recent Apps' jumplist

After reading an article from WMPU, about the back button and task switcher, i did some cut and paste job, and this is what i've made...
A lot of ppl complaint that the right black bar(the one with an arrow icon) is wasting a lot of space. The first apps' jumplist will use this space.
(1st attachment)
Another apps' jumplist, was to bring the notification bar even further. In WP7, user have to tab on the top black bar to get some information about the battery and the signal strength. The jumplist(which holding recent apps), drop together with the battery or whatever indicators.
(2nd attachment)
perhaps it looks nicer in this form:
(3rd attachment)
however, i think this will "crash" the "in call notification" or what ever it called...
What do you think? do you think such jumplist is necessary?
What I wouldn't mind seeing is basically a list sorta like the existing list when you swipe left on the home screen that pops up when you double tap the back button. Each would have a X that you could tap to nuke the app entirely or you could tap on the icon/name of the app and jump to it.

I'd have to agree - my thoughts exactly Rusty!
When you said app jumplist I thought you meant a list like the contacts list but for apps. I thought the app list would get the same functionality as the other lists, but I haven't seen that to date.
why you need a "X" while these "recent" apps are not consuming your processor?

To take them off the list, so it doesn't become cluttered, if you want to actively manage it.

Not double-tap... hold. I want 2 taps to take me back twice.
On that note I think Voice should have been mapped to holding the Search button, not the Start button. There are better uses for the Start button.
I agree with the hold back button thing.
but task/app managers are flawed slighty if you have forgot and closed or not even opened that process yet.And its then another button to your start screen to open it again.I think a long hold takes you back to the start screen and the list shows like in picture one.best of both worlds.plus you could have a nice little animation of the list sliding in from the bottom like a train.
looks pretty neat. although if those icons were a tiny bit smaller you could line up 3 of the icons with one of the big icons. you have to have stuff lined up of else people like me will go mad
I personally love this idea.

Suggestion for new fullscreen mod.

Hi, i didn't want to make trash of development section so I came here to ask or suggest of making mod that will allow us to use 100% of the screen without any on screen buttons visible.
I know that there is a mod that is doing same thing, but it's uncomfortable to use. (You press on the screen corner and then on screen buttons magically appear)
So here's my suggestion how could it work.
You will have to put your finger under the screen on the left, right or center depending on which action you want to launch. Then swype your finger up and release it.
For example I want to go back from settings so I press back button:
I put finger on the bottom left of the phone and then swype it up to the screen and release it.
If any developer could make that kind of gesture readable by phone, and attach it to a proper action would be great
Sorry for my "not best English" I tried how I could to present my idea most clearly.
And please don't say that screen is big enough so this kind of mod is unnecessary..
Edit: See attached image below
Tapped from Defy
This actually has been suggested before and I thought it was a really good idea, but the majority of the community ripped the OP of the other thread a new one and told him to just use button savior or LMT launcher or something. It was pretty messed up. Hopefully we can actually get that sooner or later!
I completely agree. I use LMT, but it seems like it would be more convenient the way you suggested. Also less accidental presses if you swiped from the bottom.

I thought of extending lmt to support also that feature. But I would more see completely configurable touch/swipe areas. They could be placed on the left, right and also at the bottom. What do you think?

Thank you for comments
I've attached image showing my idea (go to first post), so everything is clear now. I'm sure you can't do this with LMT.

I've just installed lite version of GMD gesture tool and it seems to work
Unfortunately, to use custom gestures I will have to buy full/paid version but it's worth it's money!!
Yeah its really worth the money
I tried your way of gestures and it works a hundred precent
i like the idea
now i use button savior (not good as your idea)

It's very accurate. Even if someone is having problems, try to recalibrate borders, changing border detection area and gesture size
I found this apk very useful on my Motorola Defy to activate recent apps by swyping from the top of the screen

Here is a great article on it... using the palm swipe looks like it will solve your problem. Check out scroll capture also, that is cool.

No, they have the palm swipe only as far as I know, although you have to activate it in settings first, for it to work... you can try an app to create a macro, (great feedback in the comments ,but one them says the phone needs to be rooted which may or may not be) based on whatever you want as shown in this video.... not English, in Hindi, but you can make out the details and process from the visuals.
If all else fails, the power and volume rocker low buttons pressed the same time will take a screen shot by default.

Where i can find long press on one hand ?
just my 2 cents; i use good lock and the module navstar. i've put in 2 extra icons in the nav bar (originally has 3: back, home and apps). the other 2 to the left side that have been added are power off and screenshot.

Men thank so much for this tips
From my end, I use the button mapper and set up volume down long press as screenshot. I tried with one hand gestures and somehow, I prefer physical button. Would love to use bixby routine instead but couldn't find a way to screenshot.
Tap tap is my go to. Simply double tap the back of the phone and bam!
Lol I always turn my phone sideways so I can do the volume down & power button press two handed!
