Is there a Screen Capture function? (ARHD 3.6.4)

[OKors]

Is there a screen capture feature built into this phone? I'm currently running ARHD 3.6.4. I thought the button combo was power+home, but that just either brings up the power menu or tiled home screen. No screen shot.

I don't know but I'm currently using version 4.1.7

I can capture by pressing power button along with home (don't press power button too long)

try this on your room, it might work.

Negative,
as mentioned, Power + Home does nothing but tile the homescreen, bring up the power menu or put the phone into sleep mode. I've experimented with timing of the power+home key presses which explains the different results.

If it does take a screen shot they show up in the gallery right? Cause that's where I'm looking and no screen shots are in there.

You are going to have to edit the build.prop to enable screen caps

I found the screencapture entry but when I try and edit and save (using ES Editor) I get an error: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"

Before editing it directly on the phone I tried copying it to my SD in order to edit on my PC. When trying to move it back to the phone it said: File cannot be moved.

EDIT:
I just noticed the file does not have write permissions enabled. So do I have to copy to PC, then change permissions, edit/save, change permissions back and copy to phone again?

Hi,

Use ES File Explorer.
Go to settings and make sure "root explorer" and "mount file system" are ticked.
Then edit the file,save and reboot.

Both options are greyed out.
I tried to check the "root explorer" box and got a warning confirmation, something about being an "Experimental Feature", hit the Yes button then it asked for Superuser access, which I said yes too.
Then it flashed something like "Test Failed".Now both options are still greyed out and nothing happens if I tap to uncheck them.

Download File Expert, go to menu and settings and enable root explorer - Check mark the /system directory and hit menu then say mount RW.

I found this one works much easier for editing files than ES Exp.

I don't know about custom rom's but in the stock, yes. However, I have absolutely no idea what the screen cap button is. All I know is that I've accidentally taken a few and they're in my gallery lol

Man, I'm sorry but this is just NOT working.
I installed File Expert, changed the settings to enable Root Explorer, checked the /sys directory and enabled RW.

When I try to edit the file it wont save the changes.
I've tried editing the file using ES Note Editor, File Editor and File Expert (although the latter does not seem to have an editing function; no keyboard pops up when I tap the text).

When using ES Note Editor I change the screencapture command from FALSE to TRUE then menu>save. But when I open it again to view the changes the command is still FALSE.
When using File Editor to change the command I get an error when trying to save: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"

I also noticed when I click out of the editor and back into the file directory the checkmark in /System folder is unchecked (like the Read/Write permissions revert back).

I appriciate the help. I had no idea it would be this complicated

Ok. Try way B.
Skip trying to enable the internal one and go to the market and download drocap2. It is free and works great.

Just use an app called "shoot me".
The perfect screen shot app that works on all roms.
Just instal, go to where you want to make the picture off, shake your phone and voila its in your gallary with his own folder.

Just google for it. its not in the market anymore
