[Q] No Root Screenshot It not working? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded it, enabled it, blah blah blah. However, after I "take the picture" (it just says that the picture will be taken after 5 seconds, I wait, nothing happens so I assume it took the picture) I have no clue where it saves said picture. Then, why I try to open the app it doesn't take me to settings or anything, it shows a white blank screen for a bit then that goes away. What do I do?

Have you figured this out? I'm having the same issue and already sent an email to support for this.

Use an app called ShootMe from the market.
It'll save the pictures to a folder on your SD called ShootMe and the gallery picks up the folder automatically.

Shoot Me requires root access. I'd assume by the name of the thread title that he hasn't rooted his phone.
OP, when you go to your gallery, does it show up? If not, you may need to reboot to have your SD card recognize the file OR you can use the very handy app called "SDRescan" which does this without a reboot. After you use it, it should show up in the gallery.

tflogic, I tried the SDRescan app and the screenshots are still not there. I have no idea where it saves all the files, but everytime I try, it says the picture will be taken in 5 seconds and nothing happens.
And yes, I have a no root phone.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] integrated screen capture in froyo...

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?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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.

Hello.

English is not good.
OlympusCamera.apk was correct to allow 1080p recording.
Has been tested on 1.8.3 deodex.

The above address, please replace the files as attachments.
The quality of your judgments, please.
I can not write comments. (I'm sorry.)
Does this work on Bell Atrix devices or any other firmware? I know it probably wouldn't be difficult to test myself but I'm at work and it's a pain to do via Root Explorer.
If I were at home with ADB access I'd give it a shot in a jiffy. Thanks for sharing nonetheless!
Looks to be working, has 1080P option! Will need to reboot for it to work first. on 4.1.83 gladiatrix
*picture removed due to freakishly large size
rebooting now.....seems to work fine adds menu and no fcs so far.
anyway to tell if this is actually 1080p?
when i look at the properties of a video it says the res is qvga, normal?
Some reason it won't show up in my app drawer. I named the old one apk.Bak and placed the new one in. Rebooted still nothing. Any help?

Try rebooting again. Sometimes it doesn't click right away.
I've had this happen in the past. Freaked me out until I saw others report this too.
That is odd, that was all I did. I first renamed the original one .bak dropped the new one in the system/app where the renamed original was and tried the camera. It said it failed to open so I reboot and tried again and all was good. Make sure permissions says -rw -r -r
Did some tests, 1080p works. I was skeptical at first, until I saw the frame rate drop like the Optimus 2X 1080p. Still smooth though.
Just try it, and works fine!!!!
Windows media player said that the resolution was 1920x1088. ¿?
Anyway, it works on AT&T atrix with 4.1.83!!!!
Thanks
Running gladiatrix, caused my camera app not to show in app drawer or allow camera to load.
*edit* someone beat me to it
Anyone tried this on U4_2.1.1 yet?
Running the French Orange SBF (4.2.1.1) and it looks like it worked! Haven't uploaded the file to check the properties but it looked pretty damn 1080p. I also have GreyBlur installed.
If my eyes deceived me.. at least it doesn't crash. It did give me the option in the pull down though. Someone else confirm this too, please! Finally us Bell Atrix users are getting some lucky breaks.

Is the leaked French SBF that I an several others running actually from Orange? I was trying to figure out what carrier it was for as there is no carrier boot screen or bloat.
Sweet! It works! Thanks for letting me know. I am gonna "install" it using Root Explorer tomorrow (busy now), and just rename my old camera app to .bak, just in case.
Fixed my issue. I went into Root Explorer and checked user premissions and none of them were checked. If it does not show in the app drawer, make sure all permissions are set for user in root explorer.

What should they be? rw-r--r-- or rwxr--r--?
I tried both and the camera app will not show up.

I'm gonna sound like a newb (cause I am) but can anyone post the steps to take to get this working. I've downloaded the file and extracted it. But When I try to put the new .apk in the system/app folder I get an error from Root Explorer. I'm on an AT&T 4.1.83 running Ginger Blur 3.1! Thanks guys!

Nope. Didn't work. Doesn't show up in app drawer or even in the apps list as being installed. Crap.
Wierd. As soon as I deleted it and removed the .bak from the original camera app, it came back. Maybe I got a corrupt download of this camera app.
*EDIT* OMG I'm such a retard. I just looked at the first post again. I need to be DEODEXED, which I haven't done with U4_2.2.1 yet. *smacks forehead*

Vaulty free app

Has anyone tried this? I downloaded and tried putting a video in there and it didn't go in the vault, yet its not in my gallery. I don't think it deleted, but how would I find the video. Thanks in advance
I'm GreyBlured!
Might want to look in root explorer to see if video exist under sdcard/DCIM/Vault.
This is where mine defaulted.

Camera app help on peeter's 2.3.5 hybrid ROM

I'm about to smash my Photon and I need some help. I recently upgraded to peetr's custom 2.3.5 hybrid ROM so I could use TMobil. The only camera app I can get to work with photobucket uploading is the stock camera. I've tried 3 other camera apps, and every time I select "photobucket" as the "Share this photo" destination, I get the "Media added to photobucket queue" message....and that's it. No uploading. No errors, nothing. If I use the stock camera to take a pic and select photobucket, it uploads just fine.
The problem is, the stock camera is tied into "Gallery ICS" and I can't separate them. In my previous setup, when I took a pic with the stock camera, then clicked on that pic in the bottom left corner, the pic would pop up full screen and I could check it out and upload or delete it.
In peetrs ROM, when I take a pic and then click on it, it opens Gallery ICS, which then shows me a thumbnail of every fricking folder anywhere on my camera I have a photo saved. WTF? I don't understand why anyone could possibly want that behavior from a camera app, but whatever. I've scoured the settings and I can't find any way to stop Gallery ICS from popping up when I want to view a pic in the camera.
Does anyone know how to fix the photobucket uploading issue or force the camera to just let me view a pic when I click on it?

Just a thought that you could try actually searching the the first post of this ROMS thread. The answer is right there under the optional APKs.
BlurCamera with gallery choice - mainly for Quickpic (pictures must be on internal SD)
That should hopefully fix your issue. I'll test with my photobucket to see if I can make it upload.

I have the new camera working, but when I click on a pic to view it, I get "Media Gallery not installed". This happens regardless of which storage location is selected (internal or SD). Am I supposed to install something else?

If you can't set the photo gallery that launches, I would just move on to trying a different/previous camera. Can you go to manage apps and clear any defaults that would be causing it to only use that gallery?
Sorry, wish I could be more help.

Yes, I've cleared data, it did nothing. I really don't understand how this replacement camera is supposed to work, if it even does. Has anyone here successfully swapped out their stock camera with the one linked in the first post and have it working? If so, could you please respond?
This is the most frustrated I've been in 3 years, 2 cameras and a dozen roms. The stock camera and Camera ICS on this rom blinds everything with the flash making them unusable. This replacement camera doesn't blind everything with the flash, but it throws this damn "Media Gallery not installed" error. I just want crap back like it was, where I had a stock camera with a flash that didn't blind everything and let me open pics to view them without showing me every picture gallery on the camera. Of course I can't go back to that rom since I flashed the KDDI radio.

[Q] How do I open this HTC app?

Apparently, I have an app on my phone that I don't know how to open.
As far as I can remember, it opened when I downloaded and opened a PDF. I am using the latest version of Viper. I want to open it, because when you click on the dropbox icon, it intergrates your dropbox account with your phone, and you can see it when you go to Settings>Storage.
Of course this is a moot point if someone can tell me how to achieve that otherwise. Thanks in advance!
