Hold volume down together with power button to take a screenshot.

just found out it was moved to small apps

If you use the small apps screencap
You won't fund the pic any where except it's in a temporary folder that overwrite each file taken
You can actually find the png file in notes app
Where you can add text or upload to internet
The best way still using power plus vol down

volume down + power doesnt work for me'
are you guys sure its like that>?

CM9 G Button remap

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

A flashable file would be great!

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.
And also
Device wakes but can't turn off.

Don't understand what you are talking about
You can do it with Tasker with Volume buttons. You'll lose zooming capability though.
Camera zoom app can do it without and problem.

Ho-ho-hold up one second there.
Please elaborate!!
You modded this?
Does the camera need to be running in the backround in order for this to work correctly?
Due to the current situation where the camera takes several seconds to start, I have a sneaking suspicion...
I'm not the type to photograph everyone and everything.
Still, the camera is at the top of my list when it comes to apps you need quick access to.
Since this would only be useful for that superquick shot, I would keep my camera shortcut just a gesture away.
Anxiously awaiting reply:fingers-crossed:
How does it work please? I mean does the screen have to be off from camera app and then vol down takes the picture. No other way? I was hoping to have the power button focus and / or take the picture / start/stop video rec while and only while the camera app is active.

So.. if it works without being a backround process, this might also be stable in stamina mode?
Or am I just talking out of my a**?

I support this and am willing to join this "donnation" team.
Hello,
I have a good and a bad news:
The good
Just finish a bêta version of the MOD
no fast capture on standby mode for the moment...but I'm working on it
The bad
Sony set the capture action only if (focus + camera) button are press together
So you need to press volume UP for focus...and volume DOWN to take the picture.
I'm working on it in order to find how to remove this condition
Installation:
Just replace SemcCameraUI.apk in /system/app with rw-r--r-- permission and reboot

guess you cant put two actions on the same button ? ^^
And it won't be possible to lock the button as pressed until you press another button, and after button is pressed change the action of the button ?

Or like they say vol+ powerbutton.

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)

By the way, if you want to use that button or after repairs you don't want wear & tear
Use Button Savior from Play Store.
Play Store: Button Savior Link
Or if you are using ICS+ ROM (like CM9/10 or custom ROM), enable softkeys. (look like nexus softkeys)

Good. But I still recommend you to use button savior.
It gives virtual buttons On-screen and protects your Hardware buttons.

Screenshot like in Asus?

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
