I see it sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket. I have no idea which combination of buttons/screen taps/ or whatever I'm doing to make it appear.
It's an LG memo app that came with the phone. If you double tap volume-up, it starts, bypassing the lock screen. I'm pretty sure you can change this in settings.
BTW, if you double tap volume-down, the camera app starts, bypassing the lock screen. THIS is very useful!

Thanks!
You can disable the memo app if it bothers you or you have no need for it.
Can the VOLUME UP shortcut be remapped?

That is the built-in screen capture. You may have been accidentally pressing the screen capture key. I can't remember anymore which one is the default, because I have re-assigned it somewhere else. You have the option to save it as image in Gallery app or the Quick Memo app.

I was on DL09 OTA and then I installed DL30
so now I'm froyo.
I was looking at gallery and noticed that there's a picture of screenshot.
I don't have any app for screenshot.
I don't know when it was taken or how it was taken.
How to take a screenshot without app??
Thanks.
Press the Power button and the "Return" soft key at the same time.
You will hear the camera shutter sound and a notification will tell you that a screen shot has been taken.
The pics are in the "ScreenCapture" directory on your sd card
ohhh!! Thank you !! =]
I tried that method but it didn't work.
If you're looking for an app, I recommend ShootMe.

Depends on the rom, and if the service was removed. I removed it because its unreliable.
Then its not in EB01.

Sure it is.
Check with Root Explorer.
For those having problems, as mentioned before, if you have a custom rom, it may have been removed. However, the reason I couldn't get it to work is apparently I am bad at the timing of hitting both buttons at the same time.
Solution:
Put your finger on the "back" button.
Press and release the "power" button."
At this point, you should hear a sound or see a notification that the screenshot has been taken.
Remove your finger from the back button.
Enjoy the screenshot!
There it is, in painfully drawn out detail.
The problem is, in certain apps, holding down the back button ends them

This may be true, but for those who are looking to see if their current rom supports it can try this on the homescreen to find out. If it does, then they can practice to get the timing down.

That's why I'll just stick with ShootMe
The app is helpful in that it doesn't require root. It sucks in that you have to long press the back button. Unless you're on the home screen, you lose what you wanted the picture of.
Needs to be remapped to the menu button. That doesn't trigger until release.

Hi, I want to unlock my device with search button so i edited the /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
its like that;
key 217 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 127 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
It is perfectly locks the screen but it doesnt unlock. I tried lots of settings but i couldnt done. What should i do? What should i change?
I'm not much into this stuff, but shouldn't the key code be the same in both lines ?
I've removed the dropped from both of the lines and now I can unlock the device. But I can't lock the device
There could be a code on Spare Parts that changes the function of the detach button or something related to CM settings.
Can anybody try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464

One is for not sleeping mod and the other one is for sleeping mod i think. Both of them was the search button in default so i did it that way.

I think there is a problem with search button function after locking the screen. I found that when im listening music then i lock the screen with search button and wait for 5-10 secs. then press the search button and the phone wakes up. So search button doesn't work properly when the phone is locked. So what we should do now?

The power button enables the device to sleep and to access the power menu (like reboot, power off, etc.). The method that is showed here of modifying other buttons to a power button only applies within the Android system.

MANUALLY:
On a root exploring app, go to '/system/usr/keylayout/'. Then find the file 'qwerty.kl' and then open it with a text editor. You'll see there are lots of information on it. Find the line that contains:
Code:
key 217 SEARCH
Change the SEARCH to POWER and then save the file.
Restart your phone and then done!
AUTOMATIC:
Install 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467998&d=1292740886 (Credits to appelflap)
OR copy the 'qwerty.kl' file inside this to '/system/keylayout/usr'.
I just learned that double-tapping the Home button will open S-Voice. That's great, but I'd honestly prefer Google Now. My old droid incredible (Yeah, I made quite the leap with this upgrade) had a physical search button, and being able to hold that for Now voice input was one of my must-haves. Any way to replace that command to open Now instead? (unrooted. Waiting for recovery before I bother.)
Im using nova launcher and I set up my gestures so that when I double tap home screen it shows my recent apps. But you could set it to open google now as well.

try holding down the soft menu button to the left of the home button :good:
then all you have to say is 'Google' and your voice input begins!

Thanks, but I just tried it and it seems the stock double home setting overrides it - so it still goes to S Voice unfortunately.
You have to disable the option to launch S voice by double tapping home from within the S voice settings.

Does anybody know if it's possible to change the camera app when double pressing the power button? I have changed my default camera to proshot but when double pressing the power button it still opens the stock camera.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I don't use Proshot but I just cleared defaults for my stock camera and set the action to Snapchat which worked fine. Try clearing default launch action for any camera apps and the double tap your power button, it should prompt you to select one, select Proshot and then say Always.

Hi! I'm the developer of ProShot. If you have a password-protected lockscreen, the power button shortcut won't work at this time (it will work if there is no password though). For some reason Android isn't granting the app access to the camera, despite the fact that it's declared properly in the manifest. I'll be reaching out to Google about this.
Disable stock camera with root and see what happens?
Disabling the stock camera just makes the screen flash when double pressing the power button. I disabled it with titanium backup. How are your suggesting disabling it?

Hi,
I'm sorry for hijacking the thread but since you're here I thought I'd ask if it's normal for the app to freeze/take a while to respond when you change the orientation of the phone? It's happening to me a lot lately, to the point that I stopped using the app. We are able to keep talking about this through PM or I am able to PM you my email address in case you need some sort of logs.
Thanks

When you change the orientation, the app does a normal UI rotation animation (shouldn't freeze or anything). This is unfortunately necessary due to a bug in Android. The UI rotation only takes 0.5s though. Is it taking longer? We can PM, just wanted to address the issue publicly
