No way. Click on right softkey botton, will appear all the screens and Square Option > Active Clipe, back to the needed window, click screen capture. Done. Click Thanks.

Or you can install exposed framework and gravity box & there is an option in power tweets to add screenshot to the reboot menu

Root your phone, install Monxdified ROM, use the power button to bring up the menu select screen capture.
You will get many more benefits that just screen capture
Simply press volume key down and power buton at the same time for 2-3 second and there u go u have ur screenshot while jb have builtin screenshot !

You don't have necessarily flash a new rom, just root and use any app which you like to take screens.

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.

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

How to lock screen without pressing power button?

Hi!
I'm wondering if I can lock my device without pressing the power button. In my galaxy s9+, I used the "custom navigation bar" app to add an invisible power button to the navigation bar, but this app CRASHED my note9!!!!
I spent 2 hours trying to solve the issue without losing my apps and stuff, successfully. Now I want to use another way to save my power button.
I installed an app called "home launcher" to use the home long press to call another app instead of google search, but every app to lock screen causes the fingerprint sensor to stop working without password.
I miss my old Xiaomi Mi 6
Someone knows how to do this?
you can install an app called "turn off screen (lock screen)" by redmanit from the play store. it gives you the option to put an icon on the homescreen or from your notifications drop down, press it and it'll lock your phone in 5 seconds. this is the only app i know of that works with the note 9's android 8.1
Nova launcher can do it as far as I know.
Installed a 3rd party screen off app. Using the widget Extended Date which then gives you the settings to show time/date/week/day/etc. There's a function to link to any app in this case screen off. Thus touching the date switches off the screen. Been using this setup way back when I still had my Note 2. Still works (both the screen off app and the widget).

Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity & Interaction
Turn on the Assistant Menu. That has a lock button that will turn your screen off. It will not "lock" your phone, just turn off the screen. Screen locks @ whatever you've set as the lock out time (screen locks "x" number of seconds after pressing power button). If you want to "lock" it instantly, requiring password to open, I use Nova Launcher and a screen input gesture. That locks it instantly and requires, I think, your password - not your fingerprint.
See screenies for info.
The functionality is built right into One Hand Operation+ in the Good Lock App

you can use OHO+ without goodlock though, if you only need the lockscreen gesture.
OHO+ is a "standalone" app, luckily.
Screen lock button in navbar via good lock + navstar ?

You can use a launcher like Hyperion or Lawnchair. They both have that option.

Thank you.. let me try
Nova Launcher also can do this...
You can also use the app called Tap Tap to double tap the back of the phone to turn off the screen.
Double Tap, Playstore no adware or internet connection; clean.
Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint
play.google.com
Not sure if it works with Q and 11 though.
