MIUI - Screen capture

Hi,
When I try to do a print screen using menu + volume down, the picture that is captured includes the "silence ringtone" window that pops up (relating to the pressing of the volume key). Can the display of volume be switched off?
Also, is there any way to select different key combinations? I am using a soft key for menu (Button Savior), and hitting that with the volume down key is more miss than hit - about 2 in 25 attempts!
BTW, I am using MIUI 1.8.5 ROM.
TIA
Elkay

I even cannot do screen shot by using Menu+Volume- buttons. Actually I want to know if there is a way to define sofkey in Button Savior.

I haven't been able to repeat a capture, but I have 2 screenshots as evidence it is possible.
I haven't found any way of defining a softkey in Button Savior.

[Q] Screenshot ???

I have a Kindle Fire 2...Rooted and I have flashed this: [ROM/KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 + 3.0.50 Kernel for Kindle Fire 2 [01/15 1st release]
I have searched these forums and cannot find out how I am supposed to take a screenshot. ive tried several apps to no avail. One suggestion was to toggle the power button and one of the options there should be for a screen shot. however, its not. When toggling the power button i get 1. power off 2.reboot 3.profile 4.airplane mode 5. silent mode..
thanks in advance

Settings, system, power menu, screenshot.
Now you can just hold power until the menu pops up and hit the screen shot button

It's bad that I've had my Kindle for this long and didn't realise this. I pride myself of going through the menu's with a fine tooth comb. <facepalm>

_kyl3_,
We found a really cool app named Screenshot UX - it allows you to take a screen shot by pressing a little O at the top Right Hand side of the interface. After you take a screen shot, the options appear asking you if you would like to save it, email it or edit the screen shot.
Until I found the utility I had to use the old Volume Down and Power combo, then half the time I changed the volume unnecessarily as well as the Tablet would ask if I wanted to shut down. Anyway, food for thought, here is a link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liveov.shotux&hl=en

Google Now - Swipe Up ?

Hi everyone,
I'm coming from the Nexus 4 - I could open Google Now and search instantly by swiping/sliding up my fringer from the bottom of the screen... now with the HTC software I am not able to do it... is there any way to enable it and also use custom lockrings ?

Hold down the home key. ^_^
If you want access from lock screen you will need to move the Google app into the dock.....

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?

Screenshot Ultimate lets you configure all kinds of options to capture a screen shot > Play Store

Thanks for the tip, I installed and tested it, the captured size of the screenshot is not exactly as it is by using the hardware key or the long press Recent Apps softkey.
Any other tips?

I am not using the KK version but does the power and volume down not take a screen cap?
It works in JB version and on my phone with KK?

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.

You must take a lot of screen shots also I almost never push those buttons

Cant you just assign quicklaunch targets around the home button? works for me.

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

Is there a hack to use phone in car mode?

While phone is connected to car I can only open apps with notifications (by dragging a top bar). Is there a way to get to home screen?

On my phone you can press the recent button then press another app and home

Anyway I want to get to home screen, not just recent apps.
