[Q] Is there an easy way to do screen shot capture in 2.1?

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.

[Q] Emergency call button lockscreen...

Any way to disable this or return it to its original place at the bottom? The new location is unfortunate and even steals some widget space. Any help appreciated.

Oh that! That's normal it's in the case you lost the schema for unlocking your phone, you can still call the emergency.
I don't think you can move that thing :/

I think there has to be a way to remove it completely. on Wanam Xposed (module for Samsung devices) there's an option to remove it. I don't usually mind the button but this positioning is madness.

I agree with the OP, it's the worst place for the emergency call.

I hate bumping my own thread but this is extremely annoying. Any idea to remove this would be very much appreciated!

I think its a legal requirement in some countries to have an emergency call button on the lockscreen. However, there will be a way of doing it.
Please send me a copy of your Home.apk and settings.apk I will see if I can have a look for you

Maybe ur can create some shorcut for password unlocking like press xxxxx in SOS dialer to unlock our phone in case we forget or cant unlock phone in normal way. The xxxxx part can change by the user:good::good::good:

Open camera. Switch to selfie, hit the gear, option should be there.
SM-G870 Peace

Thanks! Never thought that they hid all those other functions under the selfie menu. What a dumb thing to do on their part. Oh well, thanks again for your help.

Split Screen

How can you split screen any app? I love the feature that is included but it's limited so I want it to allow all apps to go split screen or pop-up view.

Nvm! Got it if anyone needs help just message on here and I'll let you know

For it to work you need xposed. If you already have xposed then download a module called "Wanam Exposed." After your phone reboots open the app and go to system then scroll down until you find "Select Multiwindow Apps."

I would also like to know. Thanks, got it
