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?

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
Just found out a little tip which many of you might already know. If you are missing the menu button, especially for outdated apps like the xda app, you can still access it. The note 4 replaced the menu button with recent apps button, but if you long press the recent apps button you will get to the menu function.
That is all. Have a good day.

Thanks for that. I was using a friends S5 last night and that was driving me mad. My note 4 is at home waiting for me to open the package
If they completely removed it, then yes but holding task switcher for a couple of more seconds then it doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that I have to hold the back button every time to access Multi window bar as app switcher only has opened apps.

App switcher has on every app window a icon on top right that does what you need.

You are welcome. It would have been a nightmare had it gone forever. Not all applications have that on screen menu button.
Brilliant, I missed that button... nice to know it's still there
Need a way to reverse the functionality from long and short press
Nope don't miss it. I don't even use the long press.

Its not about missing it just because you prefer to press the physical button. There are many apps which don't have the soft menu button. For example, go to Google Now and try to change the settings, but don't long press. Good luck with that.

There is. There is no way Google didn't implement soft menu button when they themselves are pushing on screen nav bar and soft menu buttons. Open Google now and it's bottom right corner. Might need to scroll all the way down. That might be the only annoying thing about it but it's there and very easy to access.

Oh I see, thanks. I assumed it would be on the top right corner. However, there does remain other apps that don't have it at all. For example the XDA app.

I agree with what your saying. But you've picked 2 really bad examples. You can get to menu without menu button in xda!
I am used to Android tablets which don't have the menu button anyway, so I don't miss it on the phone.

When the Samsung Galaxy S6 came out I really liked this feature of quickly launching the Camera app by just double tapping on the physical Home button. Some people are lucky and still using KitKat ROMs in which Xposed is available and this can be done, but its not good implemented on Lollipop 5.0.1 just yet( if I'm not mistaken) Well for those people looking for something similar(like myself) this is a pretty good and easy way to make it happen, the Camera wont launch as fast as the GS6 but something still better than nothing, I will leave some Step by Step procedure with some pictures for references,so lets get started,
NO ROOT REQUIRED
Download Home2 Shortcut from Google Play for free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut
1-Open up Home2 Shortcut and scroll down 'till you reach your first stop - "Step1". Here, you'll assign the Home key to the Camera app. So tap "Choose Application", choose "Camera" and hit "Ok".
2-Next, you'll adjust the duration, or how quickly you must tap the home button to complete the action. So scroll down to "Step 2", tap the "Normal" drop-down menu, and choose "Normal"
3-Scroll down to "Step 3", where you'll complete an important setting. Tap "Choose Home Application" and select the launcher you're currently using.
4-Scroll down to the final "Step 4" and tap Close. Android will prompt you to select an app to complete the action. In this screen, select "Home2 Shortcut", and then choose "Always".
5-Go ahead and try launching the Camera by double tapping the Home button. It should work.
THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK WITH THE SCREEN OFF

Yeah it works very well...i posted cuz i see people interested in the same thing but no threads about it...cheers:fingers-crossed:
Thanks! I've installed it and it works very well. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it though because I often go for a photo walk around the city where I'll take the phone out of my pocket, snap a photo and put it back in my pocket. This app doesn't really speed up the process of opening the camera.

I stated on OP, THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK WITH SCREEN OFF, but let see youre using any app or browsing and you need to snap a photo just double tap the home button, instead of going back home, opening the app drawer, and looking for the camera app, of course this isn't perfect, but it works really well, thanks for the comment, if helped please press the Thanks Button,appreciate, god bless, cheers:fingers-crossed::highfive:

Thanks for the hint!
also If you have custom launcher like Nova it is possible to do the same thing by assigning it to launch camera upon hitting home button , so if you're browsing or playing game double tapping home button opens the camera.

Works perfectly fine for me, never happened by mistake.
I use Nova launcher. There is an option in 'Gestures' to do a task if you press twice the home buttom. Just choose to open the Camera app.

how did you enable double tap home button to open camera? i can only see a single tap to open camera option..
Is there a method for root which doesn't require you to unlock your phone before opening the camera with double click of home button

Well it isn't double tap exactly, I meant that if you are using any app, like Whatsapp for example, and you want to open camera you have to press twice to open it, once for homescreen and other to open the camera.
If it doesn't work with screen off, then if you have nova launcher prime, it's better to add the camera app to the home button in button and gestures submenu

Exactly, there's no way to implement double tap everywhere, only a single tap on the homescreen, or a single tap everywhere but activating that would leave us without a home button

Thats what is this thread about this app impliment the double tap very well...and you still have a single tap home buttom...if you havent use it yet give it a try...cheers:fingers-crossed:
I've search the Note 8 forums, found similar but not specific to root. I'm wondering now that we have root can we replace the double tap home quick launch Samsung camera with a different app, specifically the ported gcam with HDR auto. Also wondering if it can be set to work with the screen locked like the built in camera. Perhaps an app exists and I'm just not finding it.
I have put the camera as my lockscreen shortcut but it still requires unlock to run. Coming from the Pixel, I find the gcam app to get me images much more similar to Pixels quality vs what comes out of Samsung's camera.
You dont even need root, you can use one of the various ways to remap bxby. Personally I have my bixby button remapped to 1 click is camera, double click is google now, and longpress is torch. works with screen off too, so its very handy. I did this with BK Disabler to disable bixby and bxActions to remap the button. Note: you can leave bixby enabled if you so choose and yuou can still have one click be bixby as normal if you like, then double tap camera. - EDIT : I just saw you wanted a different app, while I have mine set as default camera, I would assume there are already routes to use others as well.
I think the OP is asking if it's possible to remap the camera shortcut. OP stated double tap home for camera but that's how it was on my Note 5. On the Note 8 the double tap camera shortcut is the power button. I don't think there is a way to remap that with an app, not that I have seen anyway. I believe that shortcut is a part of the actual camera app.

on my note 7 you'd long press recent apps, and it would bring up menu, how do you access the menu button now? I came across an app today that didn't have an onscreen software menu button and couldn't figure out where Samsung buried the menu button this time.
thanks!
I only have one app that I use that is like that, on my Note 5 long pressing the back button brought up the menu. I use the same version app on my Note 8 but on the Note 8 to the right of the back button 3 dots appear to bring up the menu. I tried the long pressing the back button anyway but it doesn't do anything. That's the only app that I use where I have ever seen the 3 dots appear to the right of the back button, so far anyway.
really so it just appeared for you in that app on its own?
interesting, it isn't in my app. surely there's a way to toggle menu tho right? Samsung didn't completely remove it did they?
Yeah, I didn't do anything, it just appears on it own. Screenshot attached showing the 3 dots & the menu that it brings up.
There is another way but it's kind of annoying. Go to settings>accessibility>dexterity & interaction, then enable assistant menu. It'll put a round button on the screen, opening that & holding down the back button will bring up the hidden menu. That's the annoying part but at least you can move the button around to anywhere on the screen.
That's the weird part, long pressing the back button in that assistant menu will bring up the hidden menu just like it did for my Note 5 but long pressing the actual back button on my Note 8 doesn't do anything.
WOW, that assistant menu trick actually worked... dude that's genius, thanks! I only needed the menu for a second to adjust an important setting, can't thank you enough!

No problem. Glad it worked out for you! That's actually how I had to do it on my Note 5. There was some kind of glitch, even though the back button brought up the menu, as soon as I released the back button the menu would disappear sometimes. Using the assistant menu was the only other way I could do it.
