Double check what model of phone you have. Most common cause of soft keys/menu keys/capacitive keys not functioning correctly is because you flashed a ROM not intended for your model of phone. (usually an SGH-I777 ROM on an I9100, or an I9100 ROM on an SGH-I777) Which is mild compared to the possibility of completely bricking the phone if the hardware is disparate enough.
That ROM you referenced ([ROM][4.0.4][AROMA][OTA][TABLET MODE] D4 Rom v10 - D4 Theme Engine v4.0 [29/04/2012]) is for the GT-I9100.
You only referenced the fact that you have a samsung galaxy s2. Well, there are over a dozen different models of Galaxy SII...
Look on the label under your battery. What does it say for Model?
thank you for answering,i do have the i9100 gt...

Hmm. Do you have a lock screen, and a menu when you home power for 1-2 sec?
Flash another ROM. Or flash this one again.
Probably because your tablet mode rom doesnt use the menu button but soft key.

Do you mean if I press the home button? If I press the home button it shows all the open applications or pages that are still open...

So you're saying the Menu soft key does absolutely nothing?

My bad, think you should ask this in the rom thread your using. May be the developer will help you out.
But this time fix your title to proper question.

You said in your OP that it does nothing... But in any case, I agree with atifsh. Sounds ROM related. I'm on stock, and when I hold the menu button, if the search option is available, it will open.
Thanks anyway!

I don't think so. The okay is the power button..... At least on the Vibrant. On other phones it's the okay or enter button on the keyboard but never the home or back buttons. As a matter of fact the back button does what it's supposed to. Just my 2 cents.

Dude, did you not read his entire post or do you just not understand ebonics?
HIS POWER BUTTON IS GONE!!! If you have ever flashed a rom before with clockworkmod, you would know that the "Power" button is the Ok button, which he doesn't have anymore.

Have you done anything to the file systems? Do you think it will still boot with just a hard reset? You can reset if its been rooted with adb. Do you have the sdk installed on your computer? If not, install the android sdk from the code.google site, and find an adb tutorial on this forum with the search tool..

I can 100% fix this for you. I have a few extra buttons in stock. If you send me the phone, I can solder you on a brand new one. You are not screwed...
Just PM me if you are interested....
Title explains it all really.
Loaded up a game I just downloaded (can't remember the name, might have been Jelly Defence) then it crashed. Held the power button for a minute and its still on.
Bit more info;
It was charging while the game loaded and its not rooted and still on .63
Any ideas?

Long pressing the power will do a hard reboot, used if phone were to become froze and unresponsive.I can't answer your question on how you would change that function.

I guess I mean medium press? The one that brings up the menu of what you'd like to do, shutdown shutdown and restart, etc. Well before it just shuts off from holding it down.
Works perfectly!

You know, like on all the aosp and cyanogen ROM's. Push the power button and you get the option to boot to recovery, download mode, restart, shut off, etc...

I disagree, if you are using The Base this is the quickest way to reboot to recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035273
Hi,
I was used to use the Resurrection remix ROM or AOKP based ROM, and the screenshot of the phone was easily made by pressing the power button which open the "reboot, shutdown..." menu and there was a screenshot option.
But now I'm using the Omega ROM, based on the samsung official ROM, and I can't find how to make a screenshot.
Can someone tell me how ?

It's a bit funny, you have to press and hold them both at exactly the same time. If you press home or power first it'll just register thst keypress.

This is useful since usually the key combinations do not require such synchronization.

This was brought up multiple times already, and several people (including yours truly ) provided that particular info...
I tried to install cm-10.1-M2 using CWM, latest version. I selected to have it wipe everything and to back up the original ROM. It failed because it couldn't "find" the ZIP. Something to do with the obnoxious way Samsung treats internal memory as "sdcard" and the actual sdcard as "external_sd." I said ****it and copied the ZIPs over to the internal SD and tried again. Did not wipe the second time. Now it is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen and will NOT boot into CWM for nothing. Am I just screwed? Is there something I'm missing?
Solved: I was using the wrong button combo for recovery mode (it's power, volume up, AND volume down) and you have to do the factory reset/wipe AFTER flashing the ROM, not before. Thanks to everyone! I may feel stupid but I have a working phone with sweet sweet 4.2.2 now. :good:

Listen how new are you to this? I'm not being smart just wanna help are you pressing up the power and middle button once you feel the power come on it should vibrate then let go of the power while remaining to hold the middle and volume. If you hold them all it never worked for me just a tip.

I've got to wonder what we are working on here. My I717 has neither a home or middle button. Op ... Do you have the Note or the Note 2. Also wondering if you flash the proper rom for your phone.

Power off your device. Then press the power button again and immediately hold both the volume up and volume down buttons until after the Samsung logo disappears. It should be really fast.

Thanks for working with me. On my phone, home is not a physical "clicky" button, it's one of the soft buttons along the bottom of the front to the left of the back buttom . I tried to link to a photo but I'm too new to be allowed to post outside links. If volume up + power +home isn't it, how do you boot it into recovery?
It's definitely a Note 1 AT&T and an I717. As for the ROM, I used the latest quincyatt from get.cm
Re: [Q] Bircked trying to install cm-10.1-M2
Hold down the volume button in between the up and down so you are pressing both and power. Once you feel the vibration release the power button. Another user in this thread had mentioned this but it seems it was over looked
