[Q] integrated screen capture in froyo... - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I was messing around with eugene's froyo and I was in the home screen and saw a pop up saying screen shot captured and saved to sd... I can't seem to reproduce it.... Anyone know?

This is interesting. I've seen that it's installed, but never figured out how to get it to work. Funny you got it to go of by accident. Someone's gotta know

Hold the back button then press the menu key. You should have a new folder with screenshots made which you can access through Gallery.

Same thing happpened to me today but I can't duplicate it. I'm on sombionix obsidian.
An amswer would be apprrciated.

Just realized this froyo does not have the option to mount/unmount the INTERNAL memory like eclair did. I used that a lot to get the gallery to show pictures that were missing.

Where is that function?
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

If that was in reference to me, it used to be in SD & Internal Memory under menu options. Not sure why that was removed... it helped me a lot when images did not show in my gallery.

There is an app for that, I dont recall it off the top of my head, I think its called Media Scanner or something like that. Basically it forces a media rescan without having to unmount/mount.

Can we stay on topic people?

that WAS on topic. I'm trying various methods but if I can't mount/unmount they will not show in my gallery, jesus.

Accidentally did this today also...definitely involves the back key, but I can't seem to duplicate it again.

Damn I wish I could figure this out..
Is this a general Froyo feature or are you guys running custom roms?

I really think it's in the froyo. sometimes when i click on the running services there is this one that says screen capture but i don't have any applications like that.

oh wow, never knew about this!

Screen capture available by holding back button, wait for the 2nd vibration and press home. I read it in another forum. Does not work for me in Obsidian V3, probably removed by dev.
Can OP try this and report. Also what is your ROM?

It is def on Axura ROM
That's how I fixed my external SD issues after flashing it.
The media scanner app is called ReScan Media and the dev is registered here.
I also see Scan Media app on the market as well, different dev.

Miui Question

I have always been a CM7 fan once we got gingerbread support on the vibrant. I was looking at MIUI Roms this morning and they seem pretty awesome. So I figured I would flash one. I played with it a little bit and ended up getting irritated after awhile. I love the layout and how it runs and works.. but I think what bothers me the most is that I didn't have an app drawer. My question is "Is it possible to to have an app drawer with MIUI?" I tried changing it, but I just got so irritated after so long and decided to go back to CM7. Do people really just make a folder and put all their apps in it? I don't know about everyone else.. but I like to get on my phone and get to something I'm needing right away, instead of messing around with folders.. what's the deal with this?

Got another question as well... I am in a location that gets very little 3g.. to where pretty much if your holding the device wrong then you get only 2g.. but while on MIUI. I either get 3g, 2g, and i also get "g" as well.. but for some reason, I will b in the middle of a app using data and it will automatically go into SoS mode.. to where u can only use phone for emergency calls.. so then i gotta exit the app wait for a connection, then try again.
And dont start telling me i need to try a fresh start.. i always Odin before I flash a rom. I always do the steps the OP states step by step.. I have done a fresh start twice on MIUI and I get the same thing when it never did this before

Kinda obvious thing to say, but have you tried out different modems?
Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110500
no app drawer with standard launcher however you can create "Folders" to put your apps in that allows some semblance of sorting. like on your computers desktop.
they can be found by holding your screen till the widget menu pops up and dragging the folder widget to the screen of your choosing, you can also have multiple folders so for example you can have a media folder for your facebook,myspace,twitter etc, a media folder for your music and media players and well as sound enhancements etc.
as for the sos issue, try testing the ka7 and kb5 modems. just make sure you get the right ones ported specifically for new editions of miui/CM7

Hulu finally! Rooted or Not

I came across this app at the market that was just put up today called DroidLu.
This app will allow you to watch Hulu on our SGT 10.1 without needing any flash hack! It costs 99 cents I would have paid more for this since it made it possible for me to watch Hulu! Now 3.2 has come to our tablet previous hacks don't work.
I can confirm it works!
Currently on Tsk650 V5 GT-P7510
Note that Hulu only works when you run it through Droidlu app. And make sure that you have latest flash player 11

It's barely an app. It's very difficult to scroll on the progress bar, very difficult to adjust the volume. The worst part is that the return button doesn't take you to the previous page. So you have to start all over again when you click on the wrong button. If you hit the lock button, you also have to start all over again after unlocking. So, if you want to want the show from beginning to end without interruption, without any misclicks, without jumping forward or adjusting volume, this is the app you want.

I noticed that to but like all early apps its a work in progress. Dev says that future updates will remedy our concens. Its still a great freakin deal to be able to watch Hulu! This is the only app ive seen so far that can do this. Patience patience

Any one else?
You can get hulu to work using the old method. You just have to remove flash, copy the old .so to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer, reinstall flash from the market, then use a hex editor to change the plugin variable AND to WIN. I am running galaxy task 5.3 and I just watched Castle without any problems.

Would you mind creating a new thread with a sticky how to?
My experience today:
Search the market for "DroidLu" and it will bring up an app called Flash Video Browser by Dan Lockard for just under a buck. I just found out about it on droidforum, installed it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it works! I'm watching Modern Family right now!

Yep, just installed and it works perfectly. I'll give his FlashBrowser a try in a sec, because this is definitely worth $0.99!
EDIT: Spoke too soon. FlashBrowser shows as not compatible with my Verizon 4G LTE tab. I'll stick with the old DroidLu APK (linked above, working) and see if there's another way to donate to him.

[Q] Molten ROM Voice Search Activates Screen Grabber

I've had Molten 2.1 since the day ryman released it, and it's running great but, just realized that when I hold down the search button ScreenGrabber is activated rather than Voice Search.
I flashed it over stock GB 2.3.4.
I checked ScreenGrabber for any options to disable this but there are none.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
And thanks to ryman for the awesome ROM. It runs great.

Just making sure but, are you sure your not pressing screen grabber because sometimes that app drawer can be a little crazy. It works flawless for me so idk.

I think he is referring to the actual hardware button
I think the solution would be to just tap the button, not hold.
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
Yeah. When you hold down search button on the phone (actual hard button) it opens up screen grabber. I like it though.

For me, the short-push brings up web search, not the voice app. I like the screen grabber but would rather have the voice-command app back on the long-push. That's the one I'd want more readily available, anyway...

Are you wanting to voice search the net? If so there is a voice button on that search bar when you short press.

Have you tried going to settings, applications, and browse the all tab for screengrabber. select it and pick clear defaults. See if that helps, I have yet to try Molten, don't know if this will help/work. Good Luck

It's one of the best features of our DX2 IMHO. I love how we can txt, emailnavigatete, google search and all that. I love teasing my son about his apple crap and how they're now finally catching up to us after a couple years.

Sorry for the late reply.
In stock and previous versions of Molten, when I press and hold the Search hard button, it would open Voice Commands. As someone mentioned, it's great for driving and being lazy. Currently, it opens up screengrabber.
You cannot clear the defaults on screengrabber. I backed it up and uninstalled it with TB. That is a crappy work around but it does work. Although, it doesn't work with a Bluetooth hands free device. Pressing the search key used to open voice commands, now it simply calls back your most recent call.
I haven't had time to flash M2.2 but I will. Thanks again for the help!

[Q] FFC not working

I rooted my phone a few months ago and now, no matter what ROM I flash onto my phone, the front-facing camera doesn't work. Every time I open the camera app and click the button to switch cameras, the camera app closes because for some reason, it's not detecting the FFC. I was thinking about unrooting my phone to see if the FFC camera works when unrooted, but that's a big hassle. Anyone have any other suggestions?
You could try unrooting. There is a new tool in the development section, thunderbolt tools that has everything you need to root and unroot pretty quickly. Maybe try that and see if it works. Do you have a nandroid of stock to flash back to?

I'm gonna sound dumb asking this, but what example do you mean by "nandroid of stock"?
I also forgot to add that my phone is the Thunderbolt.
Camera could also be dead (hardware wise). My back camera is dead, showing only a black screen or force closing no matter the app or the rom I have tried. But the FFC works fine for apps that can start into it automatically (video chat apps).

I hope that's not the case for me. I don't wanna have to replace my phone since I'd have to pay full price now.
Also, I'm not sure if anyone has experience using the Thunderbolt Tools thing they posted in the development page, but I'm trying to use it to unroot my phone and it keeps giving me the same error message. It keeps giving me this when pushing the stock files to my SD card:
"failed to copy 'support_files\unroot\Stock-ROM.zip' to '/sdcard/PG05IMG.zip': Read-only file system"
Anyone know what to do?
Sounds to me like your sd card is set to read only.

Has anyone else encountered or solved this problem? When I try switching to FFC (no matter which app or version of the camera app I use), the camera makes a low clicking noise, then the app closes (no error message, no force-close window -- just closes and I'm back at the home screen). I have tried clearing cache, changing the system date, wiping cache, wiping data, mecha-superwipe, factory reset, different ROMs -- including CM7, Das BAMF, the new BAMF ICS leak. The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is unrooting. Anyone have any ideas -- or does this absolutely sound like a hardware issue?

I'm having 2 issues.
1st Issue - Is anybody able to access their external SD card through ES File Explorer (I do not use any other file explorer app)? Its like the the external_sd folder to it is missing, doesn't show up at all. I know my sd card works fine because somehow i can save files to it from opera.
2nd Issue - Not able to get Google Voice to setup Voicemail. Stuck using carrier voicemail. When it tries to configure, it goes black for 5 seconds, then force closes "Unfortunately, the process com.andoird.phone has stopped"
Any help is appreciated,
PS: Is there a hotkey for screenshot built it?
