How to screenshot on non rooted S4 without using the motion/palm gesture? Horrible accuracy rate of the palm gesture for screen capture.

Power button + home button that should be it

What is the coolest tweak you know for the Samsung Galaxy S3? I made this thread, so everyone can find out about tweaks that they don't know about - yet. It can be an app or a zip or anything!
I'll start this thread with SGS3 Easy UMS.

Don't see anything wrong about this thread apart from this being a question and in general section. At least it is better than million other ota update threads.

Did you you know if you disable the ripple effect of the lock screen, you get 180MB more RAM. It has to be unchecked even if you disable the swipe lock screen.

Sure mate, also if you take the battery off the s3 is sooo light to bring around.
One of the coolest tweaks is the high luminosity torch in CyanogenMod. It's ExtremelY bright.

i tried that on omega v19 and yes my ram went down 100mb. v20 on the other hand, not at all.
I was just being sarcastic :/
I knew that ripple had to take some memory but both 180 and 100 mb seem an exageraton. BUT, pretty samsung style, i have to admit.
perhaps no mms convert and long hold volume to change songs
charging the battery
The coolest tweak for me is remapping the capacitive buttons lol. I'm easily pleased.

That would be awesome! How do you do that?
Don't be an ass. I'm trying to help the OP out.
The best tweak in JB is increased available RAM from 773 to 833MB.

Not able to screenshot

I haven't been able to take a screen shot. Is it still power and volume down on 4.2.2?

Power and home I believe. I usually just swipe palm from right to left

hold in the power button and the home button. You can also swipe from left to right or right to left with the side of your hand which works.
Thanks for that!

Make home button into a camera button?

Hi! Im getting my galaxy s4 this week. Im a fan of on screen buttons. I know there are ways to disable the buttons and enable on screen controls. But I also love having a camera button and I think that the home button would be perfect for that. Is this possible? Thank you very much in advance for any answers/help.

How would you then leave the app?
Far better solution would be to have volume key or power key the camera button.

The app below has plenty of options for using the phones motion sensors.

If your rooted and depending what version of the phone you have custom kernels allow this if it has feature. For example KT Kernel has swipe to wake.
