Screenshot help - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently running resurrection rom on asus t00j. Anyone knows how do I get that stock rom function where you can hold the recent apps key to take a screenshot? No recent key function is here. I have xposed. Anyone knows which xposed app can do the job for me?

Since u have xposed, then gravitybox will do the trick..(download it from repository inside xposed installer app (GravityBox-LP) )
Install it, go to navigation keys actions ,scroll down to "recents key" section and assign the "take screenshot" to the long press action....
Hope it will help...let me know after trying

Disable halo
its a security feature, google does not allow overlays to run over that button - they could generate virtual clicks and install malware. pa's got a temporary "fix" against that, pac should either use it or instruct their users whats up with the button, since dragging halo over the red x for a sec is a possible solution, too.

[Q] Disabling S5 Home wake function

Hi, all.
Not sure if this has been covered, trust me I've searched, but can I disable the wake on home button function? I've rooted, and tried various options that have been posted for earlier versions, but alas the S5 still wakes up when I press the home key.
Hate it, as I've pocket dialled the missus a few times already!

Look into the 'Xposed' framework installer and then Wanam Xposed module (if your ROM supports it?). There's a tweak in Wanam's module to turn off the wake on home.
I've only just started using this myself with Omega v1.9 ROM (which has it built in if you pick it in the Aroma installer when flashing the ROM), so can't really tell you more than that... It's like being able to edit bits of the ROM but using a simple GUI instead of having to get into the code yourself.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for your reply, but I've already tried that. Also tried editing gpio-keys.kl and removing WAKE_DROPPED from key 172. Still no luck.

Apologies if you do already know what you're doing with this (I didn't!), but this might help to get it working:
Do you know that you have to enable/install the framework and then enable the Wanam module all from within the 'Xposed installer' first?
I didn't and expected mods to work immediately having edited the settings in 'Wanam Xposed' but found I hadn't yet installed the framework or enabled the module!
There are some other tweaks in Wanam Xposed that I found didn't work (quite right/at all) with Omega v1.9, so not all options are supported on this ROM.

[5.0][CM12] How to Activate On Screen Buttons and turn of Capacitive Buttons

Hey guys,
There have been a ton of people asking how to activate onscreen buttons and disable the capacitive buttons since CM12 builds have started rolling out. Obviously, at some point, these features will be rolled into the ROM, but until then, I figured it would be a good idea to simply present a step-by-step thread on the issue. There have been answers all over the place button nothing dedicated and centralized, so I figured I would help some guys out.
Things needed:
CM12 Build on any variety (currently K900 and bpear have "nightlies" available in development. Check em out.
Root access. Just flash SuperSU 2.16 (http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip) if you don't have it. Root is necessary.
Zip to turn of the backlights: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p385se5ia28cqab/noSoftkeyBacklight.zip (thanks @Moody for this)
1.) Activate On-Screen buttons
- Use a program such as BuildProp Editor (look it up on the Play Store) to create a new build.prop entry. Call it qemu.hw.mainkeys, and set it's value to 0. If you are doing this manually, just add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
- Reboot.
2.) Deactivate Capacitive buttons
- Download Root Explorer or some other program that allows editing of system level files.
- Mount your system as R/W. In root explorer at least, when you get into the system, there is a button up top to do so.
- Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout. Open Generic.kl in with a text editor.
- Comment out the follow lines by inserting a pound sign (#) in front of the line:
key 158 BACK
key 172 HOME
key 139 MENU
After this, they will read:
# key 158 BACK
# key 172 HOME
# key 139 MENU
Therse are numerically ordered, shouldn't be hard to find within the document.
- Remount your system as R/O.
3.) Turn off the capacitve back lights
- Reboot into custom recovery and flash noSoftKey.zip file you downloaded earlier.
- Reboot.
That should do it! You should now have software buttons and your hardware buttons should seemingly not exist!
Any questions or comments, please leave them here.

Hi there, first of all, thanks. I am having a problem where after I disabled the capacitive buttons (Step 2) the power and volume buttons are not working. Thanks in advance.
You know how to enable menu key also?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk
Yes any chance of getting home button long press as search? Default is the menu button doing this.
Its not working bro
Tried and followed your steps , disabling capacitive keys works but enabling on screen keys not working even after changing build.prop , also i read in some post that enabling on screen key mod will not work in cm roms is that true can any one confirm me?
i am using following rom its CM12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/devrom-cm12-scheduled-builds-t2938372
its very stable didnt experience any glitch till now , multi user and guest account works , all the other features are working too, try it out friends.
Pure awesomeness, many thanks for this guide. I'm back to my comfort zone, onscreen for me is just more intuitive.?
BTW, how to bring back the capacitive lights? I tried to remove the script at /etc/init.d and it only bootloops after reboot.
Edit: Nvm, found it, re-flashing the ROM brings back all to the default behavior including the capacitive backlights.

For some reason this step isn't working for me. I tried wiping cache/dalvik and it didn't fix anything
Can anyone give a screenshot of the on-screen buttons?
Is this possible to do in hydrogen OS? I love that rom, but i switch back since there is no option to turn off hardwer keys and enable software key in system?

A root access (preferably MAGISK)

Remap Bixby Button
As in the article :
1. Go with any root Explorer (I'm using Solid Explorer) to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Rename the Generic.kl to Generic.txt
3. Open this file with an text editor
4. Search for 703 to get following entry: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WINK
5. Change it to whatever you want. I simply tried following: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 ASSIST
6. Rename it back to Generic.kl (otherwise you won't be able to press any hardware button after reboot)
7. Check permissions
8. Restart your device
For now, Bixby is used Google Assitant with item display on the screen
Other order :

Sorry for mistakes, I speak french
Works great for me. Too bad I can't remap the navbar buttons with this, but all's well that ends Bixby for good!
I'm on SM-G955U1
EDIT: Got the navbar buttons remapped using GravityBox (N). Many thanks to all the great devs it there!
Thx alot man, works great!

Have you tried on which ROM and what version of Android?
And with what you flasher it TWRP or FlashFire?
Because it should not pose any problem even under the model on Snapdragon.

Which carrier model do you have and on what firmware version? I have heard there are some issues with Xposed on perhaps the Sprint models? I have the Verizon S8+ and Xposed installed just fine for me.
I am using the AQGL sprint system file provided by sammobile and flashfire to install the zip. I haven't had the time to retest this, but was able to remap the bixby button with just a root explorer.
Sprint seems to be the last to get cool updates, so I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't work for some reason just on our phones.

Xposed Update
Xposed update Nougat, Oreo and Android 8.0 and 8.1
Great way to redo the Bibxy button.
Hm, i did just the first step with changing the generic file, and it launches camera (like I wanted), but it doesn't work with screen off. Is there anything else i should do, or it works just with screen on?

There is a possibility to make it work, but you have to buy the Xposed edge pro app for that. After you have to program a condition that I put on video. I made the condition assuming you have a password to disguise the screen.
