Hi,
I've just been playing around with my phone and being a photographer I wanted to create a larger slide show of all the images I have on my phone.
It looks like the gallery app limits the slide shows to 20 photos! Is this a limit with Android 2.1 or the phone? I've just downlaoded the 'Desk Home' app and was planning on getting the dock to use the phone as a picture frame whilst at home, this kind of scuppers that idea.
Are there any other apps that could create slideshows?
Every one I have tried so far takes screenshots that need to be rotated 90° clockwise.
Can this be fixed, or haven't I found the right app?
Just press the nook button and vol down button at the same time to take a screenshot.
I don't like the built-in method, I could never get it to take a screenshot without the notification volume displayed on the screen from pressing the vol - button. I use the ShootMe app for my screenshots.
As for the OP's question, I don't know if any app will take it in a vertical image, but you can easily rotate the screenshot on your phone with a number of apps. I use the free Adobe Photoshop mobile app.
How do I point Photoshop to my SD card?
When I use ShootMe, it saves the screenshot to the SD card in a folder called ShootMe, then when I open Photoshop, it just automatically shows up in the image gallery. They're easy to identify because they're sideways.
Yea, nothing shows up in Photoshop. And I can't tell bit where to look, even though the screen shots are on the root of the SD card
Is there any app that takes a properly oriented screen shot? I don't want to bother with rotating pics
Well, The app i use for screenshots is called "Screenshot" and i can say that personally
is the best screenshot app there is, and for rotating pics just use the app "QuickPic" which serves me as replacement for the stock Gallery app which sucks. QuickPic lets you rotate the pics, aswell with options to share with social apps. although you need to have Softkeys, or Button savior installed to access the menu button. Is not a hard process at all and the best of all is that both apps are free.
I don't have any problem using the built-in screenshot. To do it without getting the volume change on screen, hold down the N button and then press volume down. Works every time for me.

Thanks, where are images written to?
I'm pretty sure they go into a "screenshots" folder on the internal memory, not the SD card.
I used to be able to get screenshots using the stock method without the vol displayed, but I cannot anymore!
OK, just tried it with a very brief press of "n" & "vol-" & it worked fine.
I see /media/internal/ but no images show up.
I simply can't get the "easy way" to work! Maybe some sort of conflict with apps? I'm just using ADW and SoftKeys... this is driving me nuts
I just did the stock screenshot (N+VOL-) to verify, using root explorer, I am able to locate the screenshot in /media/Screenshots.
On a sidenote, I tried golfprorm's method of holding down the N button first and then clicking the VOL- button and I still got the "Notification Volume" image on the screenshot.
P.S. When you take a screenshot with the built-in feature, you should get a notification telling you "Screenshot captured" with a clickable link to the image.

Yea, for whatever reason, not getting any of that..

I cannot get my Nook Color to take a screenshot using the stock method of hold the physical N-button + tap volume down. Could this have to do with the fact that I remapped my volume buttons to back and menu?
Yes, that would be the cause.
I also can't get the n+volume down method to work without showing the notification volume image on the screen shot. I also tried using the app called "screenshot" because I use this on my Incredible and it distorted the colors of the wallpaper to make it look all funky. Any ideas on why it would have done that? I'll try to post a pic here shortly to show you all what I mean...

Do you know of a work-around or should I just download a screenshot app?
I'm running CM7 and am trying to take a screenshot. The stock method does nothing, I'm assuming because of CM7.
I've tried both shootme and screenshot. For some reason, all the images from screenshot just show up as full black pictures with a VERY small ~2x6pixel white line along the left side and near the top. From shootme, they're just black. I've tried sending them to my DInc, but they look the same..
I've tried the following file types with corresponding file sizes on screenshot: .PNG 1.87k, .jpg 10.15k, and .bumper 2.34m.
Any thoughts?
Hello,
Don't you just hate it that when you save a scribble, it opens a note and you have to discard that note... All that time wasted.
I use my Flyer for school and wanted to share this workaround that I've discovered. This is on the stock gingerbread ROM, so I can't say about the HC.
The issue is that I use the notes application and record my lectures, and when I take a screenshot of something and save that scribble, it opens a new note and stops the recording on the existing one. So I was trying different ways to save a scribble and not open notes app.
When done scribbling and want to save it and not open the notes app, try these 2 workarounds:
(if you don't have a printer installed)
1 when done scribbling, instead of tapping save, tab print. It will say you have no printer installed, then just back out and that image will be saved in the scribbled folder.
2 when done scribbling, press the power button + home button. This takes a screenshot and saves it under camera shots folder in the gallery.
By doing these, you don't have to deal with the notes application opening up whenever you have to save a scribble.
Hope these help,
Regards

Really Thanks!
I thought I could only take screenshot with the pen. Now that we know about Home + Power, its a lot easier =)
Is there a way to save it as image (JPG, or PNG)?
I found this on the internet...

Tyler found this out!
Press the power button then tap the home button, that simple. You need to tap the home button before the menu for powering off your android device appears. Your screen will flash and you will see the message that the screenshot has been saved. That’s it! Tap two buttons and you have a screenshot from anywhere! No need to be stuck at your computer when you feel the burning desire to share someone’s predictive text mishaps.
The screenshots are stored in the camera shots section of your gallery
I tested and it works on my non rooted HTC Flyer!!!!!
Thanks for sharing OP, works well. Hold down the power button then press home, so simple. Great job HTC.

Not sure if this is the case for all 2.3.4 devices or only HTC phones, but the power button + home buttom combo to take a screen shot also works on the HTC EVO 3D.
Power + Home is an old Screenshot Feature on Flyer since the first Release firmware! Alternative you point with the pen on the screen and yer take a Screenshot without scrible...

Unfortunately, when I tried to find info on how to do screenies before, I was informed to use a cable and SDK to connect to my computer or use the Stylus and it's integrated software. Both options were unacceptable, IMO and I saw no other options.
Searching again for info, I found this today.

I have seen so many mods for iPhone cydia tweaks that allow home button being pressed 3 times and it takes screenshot (not using phone's method) for instance snapchat will not show that there was screenshots taken, are there any root ways of doing this?? There has to be a way, if iPhone has it the android HAS to have it, I am just looking for a way for me to take screenshots, and it not showing the other person on snapchat that I actually took a screenshot (stock way).
