[Trick] Take a screenshot without Root - Nexus 7 General

Hi everyone, some people could try to take a screenshot with software, but all the software you saw needs root, and you haven't got Root, then if you have Android 4 (Nexus 7 has) or higher you can do this simple trick
1) Prepare the scene you want to shot
2) Press and Hold (VOL -) and (POWER)
An animation will appears with a sound
The screenshot is in gallery
NOTE: This is my first post, then if I'm doing something wrong say me. And I'm from Argentina and I'm learning English so, sorry if I have Grammatical errors.

Been that way since Ice Cream Sandwich, so 18 months now? This obviously isn't news to anyone, it's well documented.

Old hands, before jumping on messages like this, should remember that there are always new people arriving here who can benefit from these old tricks. Or people like me, with bad memories.

The answer for you is to read the stickies. i recommend you to hang around and read what are in the stickies. this has been ask many-many times because people like you who don't like to read. specially if the answer is near.

Hahaha..not like..but to many post make my mind blurrr on focusing...anyway thanks...will look for it
well... anyway... i know what you mean. blur at some point back then. but its necessary for you to know what you are going to do and what will come next before you mess up your phone. At the end of the day, you'll find out its a simple thing. if you meet any problem. state it here. if i'm around i'll see what i can do. else someone else will provide you some help if they're interested. ^^
you can start with what version of firmware you have and Hboot version from the boot loader. power off your phone than hold vol- and power button. read the green words on top of the screen. this might clear a lot of things
lol.... no wonder your name was so familiar... i was looking for some hack for x10 mini few weeks ago and your name was there.

Idiots in these forums.

I have recently came across some idiots in these forums. So i would like to point out to some new people here. Look out for these idiots, be aware of these idiots, and if you have a little tiny problem with your device dont you dare ask for help, as you will be called a noob and told to put your device back to stock by these idiots. You will not see people asking for help here. So if thats what your after, then dont bother.

The upgrading happens when dalvik cache is cleared. Sounds like there was an issue with dalvik. So yeah. Wiping/stock was probably your best bet it wiping/reflash didn't work. It could also have been a bad kernel flash.

Oh and youre backwards... you get called a noob and then you get told to go back to stock.

Yes everyone who has a bad experience on a forum should post a new thread about that bad experience and then everyone who has a bad experience in that thread starts a new thread and so on. Its the circle of forum life.

I'm just guessing that this thread won't be deleted. Mostly because it completely adheres to the forum rules and is an incredibly helpful asset to the community.
You should post more like this. Help those other n00bs out.
/sarcasm
Listen, whether you had a real problem or not is irrelevant. There will always be people that just like pissing on your cookies. If you hadn't experienced people like that in the past I want to congratulate you for finally leaving your house or connecting to the internet for the first time...those people are everywhere. The correct way to deal with them is to ignore them and then realize that everyone else in the world has dealt with them in the past. The incorrect way is to call attention to it and then cry about it in a very public way. Take this advice: Leave it alone and never bring it up again. It just makes you look pathetic and self-entitled to make an entire forum topic about it so you can "tell the world". The world already knows...I'm just sorry you didn't.
Edit : Forget it. The OP has issues.

No need for an apology. Just read threads and the posts. Most, if not all the information you need can be found on the threads. Yes, some are hundreds and hundreds of pages but reading and searching will give you great results. I'm in no way an expert. I hope to learn and love this stuff. I have learned tons on here and you can never stop learning. Don't take things personal either.

Jason Mackenzie, president of global sales at HTC, has taken to Twitter to give an update on the recent news that some HTC phones will be skipping Android 4.2.2 and jumping straight to Android 4.3. The quote, in all its 140 character glory:

That is the problem. You want to do things that you don't fully understand. Anytime you try to flash something there is a chance it will brick a device, no matter how many others haven't had that problem.
Read up on it and if you feel comfortable then do it.

That's what i meant. Several experienced users hard bricked their phones. You no what I mean?
know verb (used with object), knew, known, know·ing.
1. to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty: I know the situation fully.
2. to have established or fixed in the mind or memory: to know a poem by heart; Do you know the way to the park from here?
3. to be cognizant or aware of: I know it.
4. be acquainted with (a thing, place, person, etc.), as by sight, experience, or report: to know the mayor.
5. to understand from experience or attainment (usually followed by how before an infinitive): to know how to make gingerbread.
no
1. (a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request)
2. (used to emphasize or introduce a negative statement): Not a single person came to the party, no, not a one.

How about this... since you seem to be unable to read and search and learn for yourself, just box up your phone, send it to someone like Gotroot, Koush, or any of the other devs and ask them to do it for you...
OR.... you could bop over to the development section and freaking READ FOR YOURSELF and find out what is available.....

Like XDA But On Steroids

Hello everyone,
I've been pondering over some project to divert my time on and well recently I've begun to notice the somewhat unorganized mess XDA has become. So I thought of the fabulous idea of creating a new website made strictly for ROMs, Kernels, Rooting, & Unlocking Bootloaders. The website would have separate sections for each device, then differing versions of the device, then for android version, and then finally for type of development. For example AT&T Galaxy S3 CM12 rom would be found under Galaxy S3>AT&T>Lollipop>Roms>Cyanogenmod 12.
Get it? Super organized, super easy to find things.
What do you guys think? Is this something worth investing my time in? Or should I just give u on this little project? Be brutally honest please. After all there is no point on building a website that nobody will ever use.
More steps but easier finds. Nice.
Sounds good, especially if you can get support from xda.
CyanogenMod 11 listed under jellybean ROMs?
Your biggest issue is people dont really leave xda. Developer wise most are keen to stay here because support and friends are here i imagine. Also logistically trying to support even half the phones xda does and have it so organised into just what the phones are compatible with, along with paired Q&A + general threads would be immensely time consuming and would require more than a few people to keep up with the flow. Not even considering user mistakes with roms added in the wrong forum. While it would be a good idea i wouldnt attempt it. The mods are always willing to listen to new ideas to help keep the forums tidy though. Maybe try help out closer to home?
