Yesterday a screen capture image appeared in my gallery. I have noticed a screen capture apk in the system folder but have no idea how to take a screen shot other than the one I took by accident yesterday whilst texting. I'd rather not install a third party programme if the phone will already do this for me. I'm on froyo.
Could anybody enlighten me.
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken the key combo is:
Hold BACK soft button + Press HOME.
Ah! Thats great. Thanks very much.

While playing movies, for example, I want to capture the screen as a still picture. Same goes for a piece of info that I see on the webpage, etc.
In the iPhone environment,users could just press the power and home button simultaneously to capture it as a photo.
Is there anything like that on Android?
I only know one way and that requires root , then download app from market "Shootme"

Thanks for the info. Do you then assign a hardware button to do the capture? No problem capturing a movie while it is playing?

"Shootme" works by shacking phone left and right , i did not try capturing a movie but it should work it captures everything else on screen, there are more apps in market capable capturing screenshots , they all need root to best of my knowledge.

Shaking is a good way, as long as the orientation is not upset by it I guess.
Having go root the phone is a pity. Does anyone know of a non-root solution?

I dont have root either and i looked for screenshoot app as well, but i wasnt able to find any..
-TB-
It's due to Android's security settings that root is required to take screenshots.
No other way around it for now.
Read this thread, in the first post there is a link on how to take screenshots through the android SDK:
The screenshot thread
Wow, does it have to be this complicated just to capture screen?

Just wait for 2.2 if you don't want to root, since it will allow you to take a screenshot with .. I think it was the back-button and home-button.

that only works in 2.2
Would it be possible to modify a firmware or create an app that runs automatically, that would let the home button be used to lock screen? Kinda like the last thing, after returning to the home screen?
yes i guess it's possible, since it's open-source you can almost all you want.
I guess it has to be implemented in launcher.
Should be possible...
Alternatively, is there a widget that simulates the lock button ?
Would be handy for me, i always mute my phone when i want to lock it LoL
hello guys ...
Perhaps there is an application that can do for you ..
Download by market a free application called "lock screen widget"... put the widget on the home and lock the screen just click on the widget ..
I find it amazing ..
I hope you like it
Sorry if my english is not very good
Im using a paid app called screen off. Works great. Tried other free ones but didn't work well.

Thanks for your suggestions. Im only interested in the actual home button. If someone would kindly start develop something that could do the trick for me, I would be the first to donate 10$?
I'll try to look into it, I have simple yet not-so-sure-about idea.

Thank you very much for even sharing the interest!
If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk.
If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good, but you should only do this if you have some force closes or anything like that.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!
Good stuff can't wait to see more work here

The only thing that doesn't work is the phone button obviously, but I am working on directing that to something like a voip apk or nettalk!

My phone button brings me to my contacts like I would assume. Why not just remove that button by long pressing on it and dragging it to the trash? Then add a shortcut to whichever application you like.

is there a way to take advantage of the full screen? the icons are just in the middle of the screen. I dont know if this is true for all of you.
I can decompile it and make them bigger, that shouldnt be a problem.

Has anyone else had this issue with Screen Capture: after saving or discarding the screen shot, the app crashes and after a few seconds the message comes up that Screen Capture has stopped...
BTW, I'm on KingDroid v. 8.
Anyone?
Reflash
Try re-flashing the ROM. Do a full wipe.

Sorry if I ask a question wrong. Do not know much English. Searched the internet, found no answer. On my device LG 4X HD firmware CM10.2 does not provide a function awakening using the volume buttons. Buttons mechanical, as all devices, but if the other devices that I have used and use, this function can be on/off settings, LG is generally not provided! I don't understand what the reason. I tried and tried to change the files in the folder keylayout, and set the program to unlock shaking, with a proximity sensor, light sensor and so on, which are 2 minutes after switching off. Nothing happens, it is logical to assume that the device goes to sleep and shuts down everything. Although the programs I've set these permissions present phrase - not to give sleep to the device. How can assign a revival on the keys of the volume that rule?

Maybe someone has a solution? Put please keylayout folder on a replacement. Maybe except that folder should be something else in the system to rule. ROM CM 10.2. Save advance.

In fact of the matter is that through the program ButtonRemapper nothing changes. It does not see the buttons for replacement.

Hmm... Then try galaxy s4/ note 3 lockscreen. It has option for unlocking by home button. And search for the app on xda cuz it has been removed from Google Play.

Established. It does not unlock the screen for no button, except Power. By the way Widgetlock does not work! This problem should be solved in the system, but I do not know what to edit and where.
