Ok I got a simple lets say solution, at least for more then 1 screenshot (SS). Press and hold BACK KEY then press the POWER BUTTON, this will black aka lock your screen, to unlock it dont like you do the HOME BUTTON but the POWER BUTTON. now you can navigate to the applivation you want to capture, now press the HOME BUTTON each time you press it it will take a SS for you. When you have unlocked your screen DONT PRESS the BACK BUTTON because it removes the SS ability from HOME BUTTON.

Tested on gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.

It dosent work on Froyo 2.2.1 for sure tested it there too.


Hope it will help of people
 
I've experimented on my Galaxy Ace (Android 2.3.3 build XWKPY). Screen save is done by pressing the power button whilst holding down the home key - but if you hold the home key down for too long before you press the power button it opens a task manager window instead, so you have to get the timing right: hold the home key down and then immediately press the power button.
