What is that notes plug-in? Thanks.
notes today plugin avail at handango or pocket gear . Oh by the way as for a great program that closes shoose transcreative majic button. It works very well Have a great night kinmont
how can i put the phone.exe on my today menu or taskbar?
I would say, you don't really need a phone shortcut onto the today screen. Just press the green "dial" button and that brings up the phone application no matter what screen you're in and press the red button if you want to return to whatever screen you were at before. However, I do recommend the free picture dialer plug in floating around here in xda. It works wonders right from the today screen, one touch dialing
could u post where to get that picture dialer thing? i cant find it lol

DavidT,
is that screenshort from your Universal? I have loaded the photo dialler app to my today screen and the pictures are far too small to be useful. Read a post which said it wasn't VGA aware, although they look fine on your screenshot.
TIA
Mike

Any Experienced Eye's May Look, Lol..

PSshutXP
Try PSshutXP - it is a small program which does what you are asking as can be skinned as well.
google it to find the site.
I think I see why you are having a problem finding the program. yo.
Um, press and hold the power button
Run-un sentences aside...
As was said above, you are looking for PSShutXP

Camera hardkey

Is there someway to set hardkey for taking picture for example volume key up? It would be lot easier to use camera.
good idea!!
I'm curious about this too. Although I use custom ROMs (freyberry), I try to reassign buttons via the settings menu, but NO buttons appear in the list, so can't be reassigned. Odd.
that would be great, hope someone to find a way!
I'd like this too, but don't expect a positive response. If we wanted to assign one hard button to a different one then I could believe that happening. But it's not a button that you want to emulate - it's touch on the screen, and that's a completely different thing. I think it would mean hacking the actual camera app to get what you're asking.
Fingers crossed that I'm wrong
somebody managed to do it on the iphone, so hopefully they can do it on this!

It's a good idea - but I don't really miss a hardware camera button too much. Would love it if the volume keys could be remapped in the camera application to act as zoom in/out instead. The current zoom in/out process is a real pain.

Isn't it digital zoom?
Why bother?
Taking photo of myself requires so much effort without the hard key!!
Hope someone can come out with something for this.
Anyone tried AEBPlus?
I am looking for the same .. its tough to take pics when you have a greasy hand

Not such a crazy request - just out on holiday at the moment and as usual I often snap quick shots of my wife and I in front of the major sites - the best way around this is to put the phone in self timer mode. 10 seconds is best i found as it gives enough time allow the camera to autofocus when moving it into position.

[help] is there any way to use vol key to take pic

Nope, can't be done. In fact, no one has yet to figure out if any hardware button can be used to take a picture. It's possible to program a volume key to open the camera, but NOT actually take the picture. I'm afraid you will have to use the on-screen shutter release. It's not the best solution, but it's the only one for now.

awww man, that sucks, well thank you for the quick response. gotta love xda!!!

Take Screenshots the hidden way

I found a way to take sreenshots with the built in method.
You have to press home button and then quickly hit the back button.
And voila you have your Screenshot. They are stored in /sdcard/sreencapture.
Don't you mean hold the back key then quickly press the home button?
Been using that since last year on the leaked froyo roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Yea you are right its easier. I just didnt knew it before. Its easier than using shoot me.
This will only work if you have ScreenCaptureService.apk in system/app
A lot of custom roms do not have it.
/qsec
Hold Back key Then Press Home key
Isn't it the opposite?
Holding the Back Button, then pressing the Home button?
At least that's how it works on my SGS...
Edit: I was replying to OP
I have also been using this feature since JPY (or maybe earlier) but has anyone noticed some applications action the "back" while holding the back button, so you get a screenshot of the wrong screen! Pretty irritating.... for an example, try to take a screenshot while viewing an image in gallery application - you'll get a capture of the folder you came from and not the image you're looking at. Anyone know how to get around this? *shrugs*
Im using jvk and.. hold back button plus hit home button works great.. makes a cool camera noise and everything... thanks guys...

i also got same problem with some apps when i press and hold back button they go on back screen
i am using screen shot it it works well and i can take sceenshot of almost any page
Holding back button and pressing home works like a charm thnx!
edit: exept when i try to take screenshot of a screen other then my homescreen. (it jumps back to home screen when i push the button)
How do i prevent going back to the homescreen?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! No, seriously, WOW! Best built-in feature. Babai Shootme. You were great! :$
It is old thing...Was somebody put thread in our forum about it, some months ago...
Regards
^^Yep. Quite old.
For the people facing problems with the screens changing, try opening a menu in the screen you want a screenshot of. The menu will go back to the original screen and a screen shot will be taken.

That is a great tip!
hey, another bruneian on xda!
flash news: It's something known since froyo appeared
Sadly still doesn't work for me... when I'm in the app list an try to take scrrenshot it goes back to homescreen and takes screenshot of that. When I open a menu in the app list it stays there when I take screenshot... think I'll have to go and get an app for this..
