[Q] How to do Screenshot? - G2 and Desire Z General

Is there anyway to do a screenshot natively? I know I have done it by accident but I can't remember which sense rom or create it. I've been juggling between Virtuous Doubleshot, Virtuous 2.0, and the stock desire z sense rom. I don't even have any screen capture apps installed. I'm also not interested in any app that involves me shaking, shouting, or waiting for the capture. Can anyone help?

CM7 and virtuous unity have native screen shot applications. But anu other rom and you will need a third party application

Awww damn. I'm sure you're right. How do you do it?

Not sure how it works in CM7. I haven't used it since the screenshot was implemented.
In unity you press and hold the power button them press the home button

In CM7, its been added to the power notifications. When you hold down the power button you're given options like "shut down" and "reboot"... "screenshot" has been added to that list.
OP before this was implemented i used Drocap for screen captures. Enable it and it sits in the notifications bar, just drop down notification tray and hit the icon and it takes a shot once the notification tray goes away. Simple enough, with no shaking or shouting.

Download drocap2 on the market, you must have root priviledges.
Its very nice, default is shake to trigger. Reliable app

Assign long press action?

Is there a setting or an app that allows you to assign an app to a long press? What I would like to be able to do is long press the search button and launch a camera app.
Thanks!

Doh! Just answered my own question. Just discovered Button Shortcut.

Please report back on the pros and cons.
Seems to do exactly what I wanted. You can assign an app to either the search button or a camera button (not that the evo has one). Super basic, but is working fine so far.

Try Itching thumb. Uses your search button to display your last few apps openned, the pages openned and the pages running in the background, like Sense, app drawer, internet, angry birds, ect.. and u can swipe accross them in a Flow-Like motion to go back to the background apps.

they have really improved the power button on DHD over the Desire...Ive had my Desire button replaced already...because its not flushed and the design means that it protrudes a little out from the body slightly, feels flimsy after a few months...DHD feels much better, I think its because of the internal design...
to open screen you can use tap tap app and to close it use screen off app. in this way you can protect your power button.
Yea I used that tap tap app just brush ya finger over sensor on the top right hand corner and it works really like it personally

Hmm, I haven't used this before, but I'm liking the sound of it. There are quite a lot of apps that don't work yet on Gingerbread, I don't know of any alternatives, but it's likely the developer will eventually get an update out for Gingerbread devices
I have no problem with my power button being too flush. It works fine how it is
Hi I found 2 apps worth mentioning
1 AnyUnLock
2 ScreenOff
I use AnyLock my self to unlock the screen. Using Volum Up/Down buttons. Better than Power button I guess

Hey, i like AnyUnlock, but it seams to kill my security pattern, is there any program that lets you use the volume keys, AND makes you do your pattern?
Tap Tap App, is good, but it reduces power life
Is there anything else on the market?

Removing recently used apps in Sense

So I posted this in evil's Sense 3.0 thread but this is Sense in general, not just 3.0. I would like to remove the recently used apps from the Notification pulldown. The home key hold obtains this result and I don't like the cluttery look in my drop down. Any workarounds?

Good Screenshot APp

Is there a good app in the market that can take screen shots of your phone or are the best ones bundled with ROMS?
A good screenshot app is Screenshot ER 2
A good rom with a screenshot function would be MIUI, all you do is hold down menu and press the volume down key.
I tried to get MIUI but the link is broken...
http://roms.miui.us/
there you go!
Is that the latest MIUI?? Are there any other screen shot apps?
Shootme is the best in my opinion. It's been removed from the market, so all is the way to go.

What is the best non-root screenshot app I can find? My friend does not want to root but wants to screenshot.

[Q] How do you remap "Search" to App Switch (like the Galaxy Nexus)?

Like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21501238
I think it would be much more convenient to use the search button rather than a long press on the Home button. How can we achieve this on Andromadus ICS or Virtuous Quattro? That would be awesome.
I tried using the CM9 android.policy.jar in Andromadus, but it just shows the old pre-4.0 recent apps menu.
Go to apps and themes and see if the guide there is what you need
