As per the title it disappears with the update to 11. I'm so pissed off. I use it almost daily.
Is there any solution?
Is it possible to downgrade android version?

just use Volume Down + Power Button to do a screenshot
I just updated to 11, and screen shot works for me using power + vol down.
Also if you long press Power, it will bring up a menu with screenshot option (new in 11). But the old 2 button option is more convenient.

I've installed the Power Off and Lock App and use it via a shortcut.
The 4.2 Release notes state:
[BONUS] option for 15 custom screen off animations (via app) mapped to power button*
To me, this reads that the screen off animation can be tied directly to pressing the power button. I've been unable to get any screen off animation from pressing the power button, only from setting up a shortcut and selecting that.
Is this the way the app is intended to be used, or am I missing something to tie the behavior the power button itself?
EDIT:
I suspect this isn't working for me because I added Signalbars_6.zip to give me 6 signal bars instead of 4. This is implemented in services.jar, where, I believe, the hook to the power button is also implemented. I'll try to confirm by re-applying SR42 patch upgrade to see if I go back to 4 bars, and gain access to the power button.
RE-EDIT:
Confirmed - reapplied SR42 upgrade patch... back to 4 bars and Power Off App now works from power button. Thanks to those who replied
It works fine for me and I'm on SR4.2. Press power button to turn the screen off like I always do, and it does the animation then turns it off. Not sure if he modified something to redirect it to use the powerbutton function or what.
You have to download and install and configure this app http://market.android.com/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Then go into settings / skyraider settings / user interface and check the screen off animations box. then when you press the power button it calls that app and uses the theme you select in the app

I've done all this and it refuses to work from the power button; only the shortcut. I upgraded to 4.2 directly from 4.1 using the upgrade patch rather than the full 4.2 install. Could this be the difference? Maybe the hook didn't make it into the upgrade patch? Which route did you use to get to SR 4.2 ?

How did you get it to work with 6 signal bars?
My upgrade steps were:
1. Upgrade SR4.0 (with 6 signal bars) to SR4.1
2. Upgrade SR4.1 to SR4.2 with upgrade patch (lost 6 bars, went to 4)
3. Re-applied Signalbars_6.zip (from SR4.0 mods) to get 6 bars, lost power off capability
4. Re-applied SR4.2 upgrade patch, lost 6 bars - went to 4, gained power off capability
What path did you use to get to SR4.2 with 6 bars and a working power off capability?
Use my 6 bar mod in my themes
after updating to 4.0.4 on GN, i now find that the volume buttons act like the power button when my phone is in sleep - pressing either one will activate the screen. is this normal for this rom? is there a way to stop this behavior? pulling the phone from my pocket i now must be extra careful.
Try looking in settings > interface > lockscreen > wake on volume or something similar. Had this on a previous 4.0.4 rom and it was an option
KYI

Having the same problem after flashing 4.0.4
Don't see Interface in my Settings menu
Any other way to disable vol wake?
This is most likely just a feature of the ROM you tried. There will be a setting to turn it off.
That's what I thought, but can't find anything in the settings for the life of me. I'm just using the most vanilla version of 4.0.4 I can while still keeping root.

interesting....im also on .4 but my volume button does not wake up the screen
was your update the leaked version...can you post a screen shot of the version etc so i can compare for you
wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.
The latest OOS update 3.2.8 disabled double pressing power button to open camera feature which is my (probably everyone's) favorite feature. It is now replaced with triple pressing the power button to call Emergency services. But the camera shortcut is very useful. I request devs to create an Xposed module to bring back the feature.
Hi,
I have the 3.2.8 and the double press power is work for me.

It has been disabled for Indian users as our government has made it mandatory for every smartphone to have a physical emergency button
Why don't use the other option gesture to open the camera?

Instead of abusing the power button often with that double press to open camera you better use the gesture option instead
Can anyone who is not in India confirm that Double pressing the power button still launches the Camera in 3.2.8?
I've tried the O gesture but I find it to be inconsistent. :crying:
I totally agree that the double press power to launch is the dogs. I may stay on 3.2.7 if its lost in 3.2.8. :silly:

After receiving the 7.1.2 OTA update on 5 April, I noticed a CHANGE that I haven't seen advertised (but can be annoying if you don't know about it).
For those of you that use Screen Pinning, UNpinning now requires you to press BOTH the Back AND the Overview buttons simultaneously. BEFORE this update, you simply had to press and hold the BACK button.

Thats a little bit confusing, i remember that you had, in the first, press back and recent-button to unpinning, then you had to press back-button and now again back and recent
