Asking for suggestions our opinions of screen shot apps for the Bionic. I am using screenshot currently. I am having reliability issues with the shake to take picture option.

Are you running stock, an ICS leak, or custom ROM? The reason I ask is because ICS has screenshot capability built-in. ROMs based on ICS will probably too. If so just hold down the power button and volume down at the same time.
ScreenshotER was my go-to screenshot app when I was on Gingerbread. Otherwise like Drunkula said, Power+VolDown for screenshots in ICS.

That stock SS works and does ok, but it's tricky as he** to learn and or get a SS without the damn power menu popping up.

Hey guys, I've been poking using the Gingerbread leaks lately and was curious if anyone knew of a hacked camera with a power button shutter option. What I've seen so far in search seems to be for froyo and I'm not sure if they've actually updated the camera app in gingerbread or if those would be safe. Any info would be appreciated.

If you are asking for any GB rom with hacked camera, which can be used using power button, than you can try Illuminance rom. I am sure other GB roms in dev section also have this feature but I am using Illimuninance 2.1.1 and I can confirm it has it...
You could also take the camera.apk out of illuminance and use that

I think nthknd means [vol-] + [power] - because [vol+] + [power] performs a softreset
(havn't tested the ICS-screenshot-feature yet - because I'm using Screenshot ER Lite since a long time - and I'm happy with it...)
My bad your very right volume down plus power key at the same time will give you a screen shot.. Sorry for the confusion... Hope that helps thanks bud for the correction I hate giving out incorrect information.

I hope he didn't pay for that app. Lol truth be told I bought one before I did the research and found out it was already in the build

The Lite (free) version of the app works great. I have it running on boot and don't really see a reason to turn it off as it hardly drains any battery. I prefer the app instead of having to use the hardware buttons every time I want to do a screenshot, but that's mainly because I'm paranoid about the power/volume button getting used so much that they actually stop working

I'm using the free app with the widget to turn it on/off if needed (and then take a screenshot with the popup-menu and a delay of 15s).
Hey guys!
I recently began to use Roms which is based on stock again, and one of the feautures i miss the most from cm7/miui is the ability to force-close an app with a long press on the back key.
Does anyone know of a MOD or something that can enable this feature on stock roms?
Or can point me in the right direction or something?
Would be awesome to have it on stock roms!!

FC appears when an app is stucked, at least this is happening to me. If I keep pressed back button, it will display a dialog.

On stock roms you can view the running programs through the inbuilt program monitor and close them .

Yes, but this isn't the same, nor as easy.
I'd hope for this feature too, as I'm about to go from a Droid 2 with CM7 to a Droid 4 ... root will give me most of the things I want, except this.
In galaxy s2 you can use jk deluxe settings (search it) to use this function on stock (need root) rom
Settings>Developer options
First activate them at the top, then head to the bottom of the list, the entry furthest down is the one you want.
This should work for any ROM with dev options available, which frankly I think is everyone...

Its a ROM specific function and as far as I know there is not any mods available sadly

Just wanting to know what you all think. Not too much discussion going on here about them. I've used them all, good experiences. Pro, cons, whatever. I personally like the stock .230 leak. I find the smart actions very nice. Also like the app drawer with the different groups.

Personally, I like the 230 update... plan on updating to 232 soon, but holding off because every time I flash, another one comes out.
I'm not one for flashing nightly roms, but I've been itching to try CM9
Yeah I am a little hesitant about flashing .232. But I think it's good news that these leaks keep showing up.
I used the CM9 from the .2233 leak and wasn't overly impressed. I feel AOKP has more options. But these Moto leaks are just so nice in my taste.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I prefer AOKP but there are still some issues with it such as static in the Bluetooth. I have 2 phones on me all day at work and the use of a headset is a must. I am on stock .232 with Apex, init.d, and pull down toggles. I have pulled all the bloat and system crap that I don't ever use. There isn't really much at all running in the background. I have pulled some init.d scripts from different roms to speed things up more but not sure which one I'm going to use yet. As soon as AOKP has the BT issue fixed I will be flashing it though.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do you get the pulldown toggles on the stock rom?

That's pretty cool. I was thinking it had to be a modification to the rom itself.

I stayed on the .232 leak for a couple days, enjoyed the new "Blur" but there were just a couple thing i didn't like. The launcher was alright a little prehistoric compared to today's standards with Apex and especially Nova being so fast and smart. Not being able to change the Lockscreen shortcuts aggravated me but overall the Lockscreen with its separate Camera, Phone, Messaging, Sound settings, and Lock is nice.
But after I flashed CM9 i wont look back. You can customize everything, there is shortcuts to everything, its very responsive, and Cyanogenmod Team really made there stock applications wonderful. You can tell they took there time in making everything run smoothly and look great as well.
So i would go with CM9 especially Axiobeam.06_TARGA. Thats what i flashed and i love it. It includes alot of extras worth having.
I'm currently on 232 and love it. Tried AOKP and CM9, and while they are both solid, they both lack one CRUCIAL feature- Webtop.
Since I am addicted to my Lapdock, I'm staying with Stock ICS until a good rom comes along with a working Webtop.
Not a big deal though since stock ICS is pretty damned-near perfect.
The CM9 u tried, was it the unofficial one ported by dhacker29?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
While I do love the features of CM9, there are small things that I really like about the Bionic ICS, like the text app. I like the black background versus the white of CM9/AOKP. I haven't toyed around with Apex enough to know its potential, but I have no complaints about the stock launcher.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I've flashed 2231, 2233, and now 232, and all of them have had constantly high CPU and RAM usage, making my phone painfully slow to use. However, on the AOKP ICS-leak builds I had no such slowdowns (despite other bugs), with almost all of the same apps installed.
Has anyone else experienced poor performance with the stock leaks?
Occasionally I notice the slow downs, but have definitely noticed the high cpu usage, even after switching governors.

So I've been using AOKP for a few days and noticed the light behind the capacitive buttons never shuts off. Even when the screen is off they just dim. Any ideas for a fix, or is that part of the ROM?

You really only need to ask the question once in a given forum. But honestly I haven't noticed in on either the ICS leaks I've used.
EDIT:
Actually I just noticed it but I think it is as designed. If my phone is locked, not just screen timed out, and I have an unlock pattern (probably pin too) the status bar does not open. If the screen is timed out the status bar can be pulled open.
Not sure, and don't see why it would be a deal breaker. Currently using AOKP with no problems at all.
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium
Only thing that's turning me away from cm9, AOKP or even liquid is the crt animation is down towards the bottom of the screen and when I scroll from screen to screen is glitchy unlike the ics leak
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
Yeah that was bothering me so I turned CRT off. I just recently installed CM10 and its nice aside from the lack of camera. Definitely very promising.

If anyone could help/create a mod .zip flashable threw CWM for people like me who have a captivate that has a broken power button, (that randomly presses itself and causes all kind of trouble), that will disable the power button inside of CWM/ROM's that would be amazing.
I would gladly donate at my next paycheck.
Already tried the galaxy remapper app, all of them, they don't work... Sadly...

Have you already started using volume wake and a screen off app then? You may just want to open the case and remove the outer plastic button instead. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the key mapping is in the kernel and that's a bit more involved than just pulling out a small piece if rubber/plastic.
Sent from Omega House
Yeah, MIUI has the built in lock power and reboot which is awesome. I'm also using the volume to wake.
And yes, I should have mentioned I have removed the power button, and it still pushes itself... Kinds bites, that's why I would need a script to remove the power buttons command. But eh, you're probably right, it'd be too difficult.
Sent from my T-Mobile i897 running MIUI 3.9.13 GearUI by: Alberto96 on XDA Premium 4
Replacing the power button is a better option and a permanent fix. Unfortunately, it's worth it only in case you can DIY.
Yeah I can do it me self, I fix phones and stuffs for money on the side.
Problem is with the board though I think. Cause removing the button didn't help either.
So I figured if I completely disable the button that would be better.

It's not the plastic button. The switch is the problem.
Yes, that's what I meant by board >…< that's why I figured I need a mod.

That's not true - my Captivate has SlimBean and I don't see the option for it, and OmniROM doesn't support it either.

I was using 4.2.2-based SlimBean for a long time and Volume Rocker Wake option was definitely there. SuperNexus based ROMs don't include VRW, don't know about OmniROM. Ask about it in OmniROM thread. All Cyanogen-based ROMs have it (HellyBean, Avatar, CyanAOSP, Gamerz, Captivating, etc), also PAC-ROM, SlimBean, C-RoM, Xylon, SaltyBean.
Here is the Slim features diagram:
