Sorry I meant to say "SwithPro widget"

i always just use the volume buttons works for me

Press one of the volume buttons, then press on the icon next to the bar.

You mean from the Notification Menu when you say "drop down menu"? Try using Notification Toggle.

that works thanks

But this is still very inconvenient. Is there a quick way to do it from the lock screen without actually unlocking the phone?

Hold the power button for a couple of seconds, you should get a menu called Phone Options with silence, airplane and power off as options.

[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.

Nice THX
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

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

In pacman ROM I use on screen buttons, and turn off capacitive buttons led.
Check screenshots here

Or try app "Power on volume" or something like that, but on-screen buttons are better solution

will this app let me assign the volume up to be a home button? anyone tried this?

Didn't try it ... also if you are rooted you can use gravity box to set long press action for back and menu keys if they are working for you..

Disable Power Button

HI guys,
My power button is not functioning right, so I want to disable it. I thought that there is a file for the power button mapping in system/usr/keylayout from other device thread, but i can't find power button related file. only soft buttons.
Can someone please help?
Thanks.

I partially solve it. It's only disabled when the OS is booted up, so when the phone is off, I can still use the power button. The file I edited is Generic or something in System/usr/keylayout
But another problem is that long press (10+ sec) reboot is still not disabled so sticking power button issue was still annoying me.
However, I kind of got the power button fixed now after keep hitting the power button a lot hard. But I have a feeling it's gonna be back again soon..
Oh btw, CM12 has screen on with volume button feature and double tap notification bar for screen off. So No problem there.

And Cm12 has home button to wake. Only problem can be it wakes up in your pocket sometimes. If your problem is solved, please add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of the thread title.

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.
