[Q] Screenshot option xperia z 423 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Around 2 months ago or something i updated my xperia z to 423, 4.2.2 jelly bean.
I was searching around the forum just for my lovely option to take screenshots, i know that i can use the small apps button.
But i don't like it because they wil saved to my notes and i don't like it.
can someone help me to get me back the lovely option under me turn off option.
Thank you.
Jordy
ps: i'm on odex 423 if that makes any sense when helping me

Well, you can take screenshots by holding Power Button + Volume Down together.

you can use a Small App called Clip Manager
or press volume down button + power button,you must hold them at the same time.

Volume down and power does work. For everyone. Why would that combination not work on only your phone?
Make sure you're pressing them at the same time.

Normally when u downloaded the mod to do the camera volume down capture u also should have the download for the normal mod. And as for u pressing power and then menu for capturing Screenshots I think that's gone with 4.2.2 and to get it back downgrade software version. Everything below 4.2.2 should give u that option back. Or why don't u try one of these apps in the play store? Just type screen capture in Google play store it should bring up several screen capturing apps.

I think nthknd means [vol-] + [power] - because [vol+] + [power] performs a softreset
(havn't tested the ICS-screenshot-feature yet - because I'm using Screenshot ER Lite since a long time - and I'm happy with it...)
My bad your very right volume down plus power key at the same time will give you a screen shot.. Sorry for the confusion... Hope that helps thanks bud for the correction I hate giving out incorrect information.

The Lite (free) version of the app works great. I have it running on boot and don't really see a reason to turn it off as it hardly drains any battery. I prefer the app instead of having to use the hardware buttons every time I want to do a screenshot, but that's mainly because I'm paranoid about the power/volume button getting used so much that they actually stop working

I'm using the free app with the widget to turn it on/off if needed (and then take a screenshot with the popup-menu and a delay of 15s).

Long press power button

I don't know if it's a problem or not but even if my screen off, when I long press on the power boutton (perhaps 6 or 8 seconds) my phone reboot. So sometimes, in my pocket, it reboots. It is normal? If yes, any way to change this feature? I'm rooted and I've rXtrem rom V3.0 on Stock Kernel.

read the title. It's the power button he's talking about, not the home button.
It doesn't depend on the ROM, it'll be like that even if you have no ROM installed.
I've changed for Pandoriam ROM and it's the same "problem". I've not see you was talking about the home button, it's the power button i'm talking about. Son anyone can make somethnig with a little flash for exemple?......

Software Buttons

A couple of days ago I asked in the Q&A forum if it was possible to disable your physical back home and menu buttons and enable the on screen buttons like on the nexus 4. A guy named: UncleRipper helped me by telling me how to do it, so I want to share it with you guys. But all props to UncleRipper! For an example of how it looks on my phone see the photo below.
So what we want to do is enable the on screen buttons, disable the physical buttons, and stop them from lighting up everytime you touch the screen. I know you can disable this in the settings if you're on lg's software, but I am running cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly.
So first enable the on screen buttons:
open a file manager with root ( Solid Explorer or Root Explorer), go to /system and open build.prop (backup it!!):thumbup:
add this line at the end of the file build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
restart your phone.
Now you got the on screen buttons, you want to disable the physical buttons:
Use "button remapper" (search it on google cause isn't on play store) and assign "focus" to home, back and menu buttons.
The app is simple to use and the values to change are last in the list.
After the physical buttons are disabled you want to stop them from lighting up when you touch the sceen:
Prerequisites:
Root
SManager (play store)
SManager widget (play store)
Your phone
this script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iz6t5eql0w...tkeyscript.zip
First install the app SManager and accept the SU request.
Use a root file browser and move the script from the SD Card your system/etc/init.d folder
Go into SManager and locate the 2 scripts. Click on them and tap the little star button in the top left to make them a favorite. And click the little SU icon while your at it! (optional: click also on run on boot the gear near "su" command)
Add the widget to your home screen, run the script and turn off the display and then turn it back on.
If the physical buttons wernt visible id do this. But i find LMT launcher works great for when a can be bothered doing hand gymnastics to push the back button.

Yep, if the physical buttons went off, it would be good. Could You make it working? ;D
The physical buttons are disabled and they don't light up anymore, so you can't really see them anymore unless you take a really hard look. But hey, it's your choice rather to use it or not! I'm just saying it's possible ;D

I seem to be having trouble with button remapper. The only option that I'm getting is for the power button and can't seem to access the home, menu, and back keys for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Open /system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl and remove/comment three lines from the almost end of the file (those with VIRTUAL word). Works, at least on PAC 23.0/CM10.1, not sure if in stock rom will also work. Then use the script from OP to disable lights (I'll try to find simplier way to do it all).
And of course add this:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of /system/build.prop
+1 thank you I got it all working now.

Same as me. That's why I have to use volume key to wake always. I think it's just a hardware problem.
