Anyone have a working screenshot app for the Photon? In particular...I am running Cybik's CM7 ROM, so obviously I am rooted and unlocked...just can't seem to find one that works with this ROM.
TIA
Search your menu app, the app called Screen Grabber.
If you have it installed you can simply leave the search button pressed and take the catch ....

Also CM7 has a build in screen capture if you hold down the power button

On the G1 you could hold down the call+Menu+hangup and it would reboot.
Is there a hidden key combo for the Vibrant? Normally I either shutdown and then restart or I use Terminal and type "reboot"
Anyways if anybody knows please speak up. I reboot now and then tinkering.
been wondering the same thing!
Press and hold Power button long enough /in my case more then 10 seconds/

Hey thanks. It was kinda like 8 seconds for me, but whos counting.
I have not found one.. Although if you search the Market there is a "quickboot" app, you can make a shortcut on your homescreen and with a click of the icon it reboots.
This is the best alternate to it...
I hold down the volume buttons [up and down] while the phone is off. Boot up and wait for it.
^ he is talking about rebooting, not recovery.
Thanks for the tip kizer/gad13.. I added it to the sticky.
Yeah thanks for adding it to the sticky. I was going to follow up with another PM to you to make sure if there is a mention to who discovered it, it would go to Gad13 since well he told me. LOL
updated it, thanks guys.

Agree. This is what I do as well. Except I don't have a shortcut because I might accidentally click it.

There s only one app that wrks on our sg3.. But u can find that in market bcs the developer thinks that app dsnt spprt sg3's configuration.. Name is "screen capture shortcut free" .. Find the apk by urself , coz I dnt hav that..
Why do you need one when "Screen Capture" feature is in-built in our phone ? IMO it takes a good enough shot
P.S. - Back Soft Key + Home button is the combination, if ya didnt know...
didnt know that one, many thanx!

No prob mate, each of us keeps learning from this wonderful community and its exceptional developers
bit fiddly, exits or goes to task manager...
You are doing it in reverse - Hold on to the back key first and then press the Home / Menu button, you will hear the capture sound and you are done! Dont let go of the Back key !!
i'll make that a double thanks then!
it is possible to change the key?

I installed Android Revolution HD and a few scripts including ROM Cleaner, and now everytime I press the search button, nothing happens. Also, if I long press it, it takes me to voice actions. What do I do?
Reflash rom or restore the backup u were supposed to do before running rom cleaner

Is there any other way I can do it like remapping the button to go to the google search app?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
It's called Button Remapper.
I used this app to assign camera button as receiving call and it works great!

Thanks, and I already tried the app and I honestly don't know how to use it. I clicked the search button option and then the default was to search. I restarted and nothing changed, can you help me?
Install KeynrTracker.apk from the url I posted. (there are attached files at the bottom.)
Run and see if your search button hardware is working.
If button isn't functioning as it suppose to do, you know what to do
...another flashing job...
Or assign new button for search button.
like select 248 (camcoder)
pop-up comes on, set
action - search
state - none
Restart and you got new search button that uses camcoder button.

Do you have this file -> GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in /system/app
If you don't, you need it to fix problem

Does anyone know where i can get the screenshot app, that appears in your reboot menu?
I tried a few ones on the market, but none seems to work as well?
Are you referring to CM7?
Naaah, im using gingerbread?
Is there anything for GB?
I don't know why it must be in reboot menu but Screen Shot It pops up with long press of search button.

Where did the voice search shortcut go? It would have been nice if a long press on the recent apps button brought up voice search. When I'm driving, I want to be able to "call home", or " "navigate to Best Buy". I tried to create a shortcut, but the voice search is not a app or widget, so I have no easy way to get there without multiple steps.

I noticed this too :/ I use the Dragon Go! assistant app and it has the same problem.. The quickest way to get to it is to use the google search widget. It's voice button gets you straight to it.

Yes, that's what I've been doing. Just wish there was a voice search only widget so I could put it on my home screen and not clutter it up, or a long press on the useless recent apps button.
Also, where did the Sound Hound app go? I can create a shortcut, but if I go to the apps area, it's not there! Tried to uninstall and reinstall market Sound Hound and you can't! Total garbage!

Soundhound is under Music now.
found a workaround
I've been looking for this shortcut (soundhound) and a couple others that seemed to disappear from the all apps drawer. The program is listed as installed, but you can't start it easily! This is what I found posted:

Easier to download google voice button from play store.

I modded mine to use the focus button on the camera (half press of the camera button). Whenever you're not in the camera app, hold it at half press, and voice actions pops up. I'm putting it into a zip right now, link to follow.
I'm sending ian in here to help u all out, he make a key remmaping the focus button to voice actions
Ok, after a long (LONG) day. I've got the zip, and I've managed to get it uploaded. This just makes the focus key (half press of the camera button), act as the search key, outside of the camera app. Hope you like it. Thank ticklemepinks appropriately for getting me to post this

There's a way to bring back the "Voice Search" shortcut. I have it on my dock right now.
Someone at AndroidCentral created a thread about it, but since I don't have that many posts right now to send you guys the link, here are the instructions:
1) Download "QuickShortcutMaker" from the Play Store.
2) Launch QuickShorcutMaster.
3) Do a search for "Voice Search" and you'll get a list of Voice Search Activities.
4) Select the one that has "RecognitionActivity" in the description.
5) Select OK.
6) The "Voice Search" shortcut should now appear on your Home screen.

Thanks for posting this, but since it's not an apk, and I don't think it's a kernel file, I don't actually know what I'm supposed to do with this zip. For the record, I tried changing the extension to apk and that didn't allow it to be installed. My evo is a stock, unrooted one at present.

You have to flash the file via custom recovery. Not something you can accomplish completely stock.

Ah, okay, I just got the phone yesterday and haven't installed any custom recovery yet. I should probably get on that. I ended up with an evo3d on 1.50, and therefore wasn't able to take advantage of such niceties. Thanks for letting me know.
You you possibly map it to a long press of the recent apps key? That would be more practical, think the half press of the camera key would happen too easily.

Well then your problems are solved.
But I'm sure the vast majority of people want it back to the way we became used to it.
