Sooo my Power butter is broken and i miss tge feature to take screenshots. I found apps that take a screenshot when you shake the phone. But I don't realy like it that way. Now my question is: Is there a way to change the combination for taking a screene? So instead of pressing power butten + volum down i could press trakball + volume down and take a screenshot. If there is a way please tell me
You are a great community thank you all :thumbup:

It kind of sucks. Solution with holding multitasking button was better, because now you have to press button in the right moment and it takes a while to learn it.

I agree it sucks, I have an otter box on my Galaxy Nexus and its practically impossible to press it in the right spot... Google aggregates me by changing the UI for no reason, the press-and-hold power and tap the screenshot option seemed much easier to me.
Is there a way to change this without a third-party app?
it maybe different with nexus, but I was looking for the same option with my Xperia (have a custom Rom, but standard 4.2 system)
I bypassed the power + volume option, by going to settings/system/power menu, and ticked 'screenshot'
hopefully you have this option in settings too

press and hold volume down and power as it works that way for many devices.
Could be a little inconvenient because of the buttons on the backside
don't work. running stock rooted 802 10a

Press the home button and quickly guide your finger to the right. Faster this way.

Would rather say adding the quickmemo button to the bar via phone options is much quicker.
vol- + power do nothing for me. that's wye I'm asking
You have to push them both at the exact same time, volume down and power. It took me a few tries. What's really fun is if you take a screen shot of just your home page and then open it...you may find it hard to figure out which one is the "real" home page as compared to the fake one by pressing the home button!
Anyone else find it difficult to press the power and volume down button at the same time for a Screenshot?

I found no difficulty using buttons at all but that just inconvenience so I use QuickMemo instead.
Give it a try.
Is there any documentation for this app? Does anyone know how the Screen Off memo works?
Thanks.

With the screen off hit the vol up button twice for memo ...hit the vol down button twice for the camera

That seems to be a different app than Quick Memo+ . Still a good feature though.
