does anyone have any success with this? I've read in other device forums that the only way to screen capture in CM7 is with DDMS, true? I used screenshot with NOVA but both it and drocap just give a black image. Hard to believe something so simple cannot be done.

are you using one of the 2 apps i mentioned, or something else?
no, "built-in" screenshot (with the menu when long press power button)
Only click the power button
ok, i am a COMPLETE and utter idiot, thanks!
actually CM7 already has a "printscreen" doesn't it? just press power button for about 2~3 secs and theres the option, or pressing power+home is the same as stock rom
first one...

is there a way to add options when we long press the power button? optionto not only shutdown the phone but also reboot.
The CyanogenMod (CM7) ROM, does this. If you can live with that ROM (or any ROM based on that), I can highly recommend this one from wgspoelstra.
does it have the 64RAM hack (freeing up an extra 64 mb ram)
Yes, CM7 uses the vorkKernel which has this hack.
thanks! i have the WGSPOELSTRA on my phone, working great, i am on v.26, i haven't updated to the latest because i'm seeinig some negative feedback on the release
It would be great to use the volume buttons to unlock the screen.
Anyone knows if it could be plausible?
i can't find it again...i knew i found an option that does that... now i'm not sure if it's in the slick custom roms or the WGSPOELSTRA's

Whilst it is possible with stock it's a lot of framework edits. I took a look and hacked together a reboot proof of concept... you have to call an existing function and LG have obfuscated this function in their framework...

Brilliant. I love LG 2X but the power button at the top and volume buttons on the right are a big fail in my opinion. I might be too use to the layout on SGS.
Having said that I don't mind if there is a workaround and this for me is perfect. Thanks.
hi, I open this thread to show you how to remap the G button, on the FOP rom it is assigned as a comma so it's totally useless, but all you have to do is using root explorer go to:
system\usr\keylayout
and modify the files "generic.kl" and "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" and search for "key 95".
On the "generic.kl" it will say something like insert comma, change that to one of this options:
APP_SWITCH it will make the g button open the recent apps
CAMERA well it's obvious it will open the camera
and on the "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" it will say "POWER WAKE_DROPPED", just erase that and type one of the options I said (you MUST assign the same option to BOTH files)
Hope it would be usefull ^^ I recomend using the button for the recent apps, since the camera can be accessed from the lockscreen and the camera isnt working right now
If you need to, I can make a CWM flashable zip to modify those 2 files, I didn't did that because this is way too easy to do manually...
Remember to mount R/w so you can edit the files
After doing that just reboot
You should mount r/w not r/o

I saw this one when trying to do this, and it is really weird the tutorial so I decided to do this one, also it only says how to use as camera and lock button... could you consider adding this to the FOP rom?

If you guys find it useful we can add that feature, but it is easy to add this feature, so if you guys want, you guys can add by yourself.

On cm7, you have to edit /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl - delete key 212 line and add key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED or the line about camera - save and reboot

My Power button is dead and i cannot turn on the phone manually. Ineed to use usb cable,enter the battery charging state and need to push the button frequently(hopefully it detect) till it reboot.Then i try to remap the power button to G button. still cannot on even at battery charging state... This phone is screwed.. wonder if anyone want to buy my phone.. haha..
My power button is not in the best condition too. First I remaped G button (key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED) and then I use SoftPower app to wake it because it even has sometimes problems to wake up with the remaped G button and I'm fine. OK that doesn't help when it's completly switched off but then it seems to work rather good and I nearly never switch it off anyway. I use AnReboot for some time, it is fast for reboot and good for getting in recovery.

Getting to the recovery is not the problem as i can use the adb command. The worst part is when i want to call someone urgently and the phone cannot wake the screen. So softpower app can help in these kind of situation? As when the phone is completely dead, there nothing we can do to turn it on as some people said that the power button is hardwire.
Yes SoftPower wakes my phone up all the time without any problem. I haven't even activatet the adminstrator, because it is only needed for turning the screen off and I use G button for that. (Need the search button for something else anyway.)
BTW if you remap the G button it even shows the power menu like you get it for long pressing power button (at least with some ROMs).
Thanks man, i will try that software. I just open this phone and found out that the usb port and the power button is integrated with each other. So, it's kinda hard to repair it.
Thanks.... I modify G Button as Camera and its working awesome on CM10..

And if I want both answering and ending a call with G button, how can I add that to the file?
Maybe for wake up and turn off the device too? I guess it's applicable for multiple actions, isn't it?

I tested it.I modify G button as CALL WAKE_DROPPED
With this I can receive the call but can't end call with G Button.

I am going to attempt to remap the outside keys for when the camera is being used to allow non-touchscreen controls as well. I don't know if anyone has tried or started work on this idea yet, but I will give it a go and post results and the update.zip on here once it is good to go.

Not to stir the thread off topic, but can i just say how moto seemed to finally get the camera right? I cant believe how fast it starts up. It still has some of the weird focus isssues, but switching between modes, taking pics.. ive ditched my purchased apps in favor of the default camera.
I agree. It definitely runs so much smoother than in previous renditions. I just want to have a method for taking a picture via non touchscreen. Miss the dedicated camera button. Will be working on this during the week and hopefully will have it done and up by the weekend.

what would you use? traditionally, the volume keys were the zoom in/out and the camera button took the pic. maybe something on the keyboard? have you tried the OK button?

The "ok" button does take pictures, but then you need to have the keyboard out. I'm going to attempt to remap the power button to take the picture (as most people wouldnt be turning off the screen while the camera is on) and keeping the volume buttons as the zoom in/out as it currently is.

This is already possible by default, if I understand your question correctly.
In the ICS build (at least .215, not sure about earlier versions) there is a "Volume Key Function" option in the stock camera settings. You can use this to set the volume keys to 'Capture' instead of 'Zoom'. As I never use digital zoom, this already works great for me!

I'm afraid this just is not true. Perhaps it's meant to be, but it does not work on stock Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Note N7000. None of the method suggested works (not Power/hold, not Vol-/Power, and not Vol+/Power). Some sites have suggested that Power/hold gives you a menu which includes Screenshot, but that also is not true.
Does anyone have a solution which works?

Volume down + power works just fine. If you still have issues, then you could activate the screen shot in power menu.

Volume down + power button works on cm 10.2 nightly.
Also work "hold power button and select screenshot", but you have to enable it on settings(at power menu in Buttons )

Unfortunately that does not work either: whichever button is pressed first performs its usual function, and holding both of them just results in the lock/power-off window.

I don't have any entry for screenshots in the power-button menu. And I don't have any config menu called Buttons where I can enable anything. Where is this Buttons menu? There is a Button Action menu in General, but Screenshots is not one of the available settings.
in cm 10.2 -> settings->buttons->power menu-> screenshot(put a check mark)
i dont know if 10.1 have or not this.

When I use the KK Rom, I can only get the screenshot by using the Power Menu (Long press the power button while the power menu is configured to have a screenshot option). Anyone knows a way or any app I can install to capture a screenshot by long press the "Recent App" Soft key and get a screenshot saved like in the Asus stock ROM?

Yes, the power and volume key combination works, but for 2 reasons I don't like it.
1) too many presses on keys are no good for the hardware, and
2) the TF701 has both power and volume keys on the upper left hand and it is difficult for me to press both keys at once.
I think the best is still the long press Recent Apps soft button implemented by Asus.

Please elaborate on this more, are you referring to add the screenshot choice to the power on/off hardware button?
Just use the power options screen shot functionality in kk.... It's in settings, developer settings somewhere. You push the power button and one of the options is a soft button to take a screen shot.
Or stop cheating
