A couple of apps I'm using that deserve appreciation.
Screenshot Touch: It's a floating button for taking screenshots, haven't used the video recording feature, but the screen shot is perfect when watching movies/anime and you want to capture something on the fly.
Easy Voice Recorder: As a uni student, I've tried many recording apps for lectures, this one is the best that I've tried for the simple UI, the fact that you set up different settings for the name (I use the current date followed with the time I started recording).
It looks like the radical solution is to install custom ROM:
>"i shifted my rom from EEA to .eu , which changed screenshots , Facebook, screen recorder folders from dcim to other places as because of .eu rom is based on beta. You can try beta or have to find other solution."
A more simple method is to install a custom app for making screenshots, like this.
I answered elsewhere screenshot touch has crop functionality, among other things.
I haven't used it, but screenshot touch apparently does that and more
If no buttons are working, you should try this app
If you're on Android, you can use Screenshot touch to record videos :
