Taking a screen shot with your Android Phone - guycheap - Jan 21, 2013
Hi,
Ever wondered how do I take a snap shot of my screen? Samsung Galaxy Phones ONLY
How easy does it get? Not easier then this.
What you do?
Most Galaxy Phones use the Back + Menu Option, But some phones use Home + Power ( Like Mines ) Just try to see which one fits yours :)!
Enjoy
Edit:
Thank you to:
AaR & NerdFace for helping me out

For me default is Home button + Back button. But as I'm using CyanogenMod 10 I have option in power menu.

Hello.
For Android GB 2.3.6 and lower = Home + Power ( Only Work in Samsung Galaxy Series )
For Android ICS 4.0 and higher = Volume Down + Power ( Work All Android Phone have Android 4.0 and 4.1 )

AOKP and Cyanogenmod allow this, as far as I know, and you can of course change it with a theme

Roms add things like:
Quick Settings
Tweaks like centering and coloring the clock
You can also play around and see what you get.
And
Quote:Using a custom ROM usually results in more frequent updates that fix bugs and introduce new features because the developer behind the ROM doesn't have the same procedures and red tape that the manufacturer+carrier combo does.
A quality update can be churned faster because it doesn't involve the bureaucracy of 30 different project managers, 15 vice presidents, and 5 dozen marketing departments.
A ROM developer usually gains a loyal community which beta tests his updates in real life situations and provide feedback, or even fixes bugs - that's the beauty of open source software.
Oh and did I mention that ROMs are usually free and supported by optional donations? If you can't afford to pay for it, you don't have to.
Finally, most custom ROMs out there are updateable over the air (OTA) and without reinstalling anything.
Who doesn't love open source after this?
Better Performance And Efficiency
Custom ROMs are oftentimes faster, more efficient, and use less memory because
the developer ripped out useless garbage, such as carrier installed apps or
the developer optimized the kernel. For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better battery life than the stock one.
Upgrading To A Better/Later Version Of Android
You can upgrade to a version of the OS that has not yet been released for your device, or never will be. This is possible in 2 situations:
A leaked version of the new ROM showed up online, and the developer got on it like the fat kid chasing an ice cream truck. This was exactly the case with Hero and Android 2.1, allowing me to upgrade from 1.5 weeks (months) before the official version was available and ditch the bogged down and slow stock OS.
A ROM from another phone was ported by the developer to work on yours. For example, G1 and MyTouch 3G users may never see Android 2.1 officially released on their phones, but Cyanogen, one of the most respected Android developers, was recently able to create a custom ROM running 2.1 for those devices. Oh, what a happy day it was for MT3G and G1 owners.

Nexus S has a LOT of custom ROMs. I think its AOKP official

You want Crespo if you have the 3G version, or Crespo4g if you have the 4G version
