How can I add a screenshot toggle in the quick settings menu ? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi everyone !
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (runing Android Oreo) and I want to know if there's a way I can add a screenshot toggle in the quick settings menu ?
I know I can take a screenshot using the "conventional" way (Power + Volume UP) but I really want to know if there's a option for it to show in my quick settings menu
Cheers !

Try Shorcutter - Quick Settings & Sidebar or SystemUI Tuner from Play Store.

I think you should edit build.prop to enable screen recording. That "screenshot toggle" is switchable between screen recording and screenshot.

Thanks for the suggestions
So here's the problem
My device is not rooted and I don't want to root it (at least for now bcs it's brand new and my last phone that was rooted had some wierd issues)
Also I tried to use apps such as Shorcutter but I don't get the advanced features that Samsung provides (like extended screenshot or being able to draw certain things etc)
I want a "native" way to do it if it's possible
Cheers !

Is it possible to add camera shortcut to power menu in stock rom ?

I want to access camera as fast as possible for quick snapshot. I have tried several lockscreen widget apps, but all of them not work with pattern security lockscreen ( I have to unlock 2 times ). So I think up about power menu that can access any time even during playing the game. that is the question.
Is it possible to add app shortcut to power menu ? and How ?
my xperia play is rooted 800a with 2.3.4 firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42 stock
Hi not too sure about the power menu I think this is part of the framework apk and that would need to be changed if at all possible?There are a couple of other options You can use holo launcher Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5tb2JpbnQuaG9sb2xhdW5jaGVyIl0.This can change Home hardware button to camera.Or you can use Notification Toggles Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImRlLmo0dmVsaW4ubm90aWZpY2F0aW9uVG9nZ2xlIl0. Which puts shourcuts in pull down notification bar but that does not work on games.Hope that helps a bit.

I personally haven't heard of any way to add a 4th button to the navigation bar for screenshots. That sounds like something that might be in a custom rom if it was even available. The other option I know of would be to use Xposed Framework with the GravityBox module. With GravityBox you can set a long press or double tap on any of the nav bar buttons to trigger a screenshot. You can add a tile in the Quick Settings for screenshots. And you can also add it to the Advanced Power Menu (power button). That's what I can think of at the moment other than finding an app or widget of some kind to put on your home screen.

Where is the "do not disturb" quick launch button?

There was a quick launch button for do not disturb on the s7 but can't seem to find it on the note 7? Any way to add it?

If you're talking about the quick settings tile, long press on one of the quick settings to enter edit mode an you'll see it there in the bottom then you can add it.

[APP] Button Mapper: Remap Bixby single, double and long press for FREE

NOTE: On a rooted device, this is the fastest, most reliable and problem-free method for remapping Bixby (no limitations, no setup)
Button Mapper allows you to remap any action you want to physical or capacitive hardware buttons. This includes volume buttons, Bixby button, and many buttons on game controllers and other hardware you attach to your phone.
You can map shortcuts, apps or actions to single press, double tap and long press for hardware buttons.
The Bixby button on the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is supported as of version 0.62
Bixby remapping of single, double and long press is completely free. No ads. Pro version not required.
Does not require root. If your device is rooted, you will have many more options (essentially unlimited). Also with root, Bixby remapping does not involve any hacks, it is implemented at the input level (native).
This does require an adb command to remap Bixby on unrooted devices. It's a one-time setup. I do not use the method used by other apps because it leads to a poor user experience (i.e. swiping right causes actions to occur, get stuck in a loop)
This app is continually updated with new features and improvements.
Download on XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
.
Big update update on the way soon.
You can remap all Bixby stuff for free with this app, and it has the most options of any remapping app.
I'm looking for volunteers to translate. Go to this link if interested

Changes:
Pocket detection (pro)
Toggle auto brightness
Toggle Wifi hotspot (Android 7 and lower)
Toggle mobile data (root)
Clear notifications
Compatibility with Android P
Option to use speaker with Pressy, MiKey, etc
Global bypass option
More long press duration options
Receive incoming phone calls with home button (Samsung)
Add Spanish
Update translations
UI improvements
Optional lock method that allows fingerprint unlocking

To click the shutter? You can do that with select/enter action, but it requires root.

I've deleted the bixby services without know that the remap apps wouldn't work anymore
This app doesn't work either.

It's the only way to detect Bixby since Samsung bypassed the usual Linux input system..
thanks for this app. works great!
Hi
Thanks for this great app.

I don't think so. It's definitely not possible using the methods used by this app.
So...people don't like free stuff? Should I make you guys pay for double press and long press?
Nice job with this app man. Very easy to turn on flashlight and get to google assistant. I'll be unlocking the pro version in a little bit.
It also appears that, even though I am not rooted, the bixby button works to turn on my flashlight while I'm on the AOD so that is SUPER helpful.
UPDATE!!
Version 0.74 has lots of new goodies. It's rolling out slowly on the Play Store, if you want it now you can download from XDA Labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
-Menu action is now available without root
-Pause and resume remapping from notification, quick settings or public intents that can be used with Tasker or other automation apps
-If you use the notification, you can now change the priority
-Option to turn on screen with screen off actions, so if you launch an app with the screen off, the screen will automatically turn on (requires Pro version)
-Zello PTT toggle and hold actions (requires Pro version). This allows you to either set a button to toggle send, or hold the volume up or down button to talk
-Copy and paste actions
-Option to use VOICE_ASSIST for assistant
-Restore autobrightness when using brightness actions
-Fix shortcut bug
-Many other bugfixes and improvements
-Update translations
Here are the intents to pause and resume remapping. The first is a toggle, the other two explicitly pause or resume remapping. Use whichever best fit your needs.
flar2.homebutton.TOGGLE_REMAPPING
flar2.homebutton.PAUSE_REMAPPING
flar2.homebutton.RESUME_REMAPPING

Screenshot sound toggle doesn't work for me on Galaxy S9+
Can we also have an option to disable bixby single tap when the device is locked or in always on display mode?

Screenshot sound toggle only works for my screenshot implementation. It can't be controlled on the native screenshot (I assume you're rooted)

Sorry didn't get your point. How can choose your screenshot implementation? There is only one screenshot action available in the list.

If rooted, it uses the built-in screenshot. If not rooted, it uses my own custom screenshot because I can't access the built in one. The built-in is preferable to the custom screenshot, but there is no control over the sound in the built in screenshot.

You need to pull quick settings tab down and click reorder buttons, then you can add the tile.

Single tap not customizable?
Also "double tap" & "double tap + hold" not working since it always turns screen off since it detects its native action first. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: Even "hold" sometimes activate native action / display off.

Is Bixbi app setup correctly as stated in setup?
Is power button set to open Bixbi? (see FAQ for details)
Its recommended to connect phone to PC once and start remapping over PC to unlock full potential. Takes less than a minute.

If you use the PC to stert remapping none of this is needed, otherwise you have to setup Bixby

Yeah I did. So it won't fix my issue eather.
So what should I do? Every time I try hold the button to go back it might go back but it turn the screen off aswell
And if I double press to flashlite, it will turn on flash lite and for some reason go to lockscreen so basically it does screen of and instantly screen on. Judging by this it really also register the power button native action as well no matter what I do.
Ps. Is there even a slim chance single press will be programmable later?
