DroCap2...Free on market as long as you're rooted.
Sigh
I can't find drocap2 OR shoot me on the market now!
But yeah, I have an Evo 3d and rooted using nonsense rom, and I've found the shoot me apk through various mediafire and filestub links doing google searches,
but every shoot me I've downloaded and installed onto my phone the result ends up in a blurry pic I've tried about 2 other screen shot apps just now, one being "screenshot" from Kastor Soft, and another one I forgot the name of, but both ending with blurry pics also, any suggestions anyone?
Press power and home button. It shld capture your screen shots, I use this method all The time, hope this works

Haha wow
You know what's funny... before I rooted I used to do that method all the time but I would press them both at the same time (or at least that was my intention to), and it would work but once I rooted I tried it a couple times with no success so I figured the feature was taken away with the current rom I was using, and just tried to hold the power button first, then hit home... works like a charm, and they aren't blurry! Haha, thanks a lot!

I'm using Sombionix ROM Nero 4.1 TW. How do I take screenshots? I know they have apps in the market but I've never downloaded one before and somehow on accident I took a screenshot and I don't know how I did it. Can anyone help?
THANK U!!!

I don't think that anyone has been able to work out the inbuilt screen shots. Most people use shootme. Go to market, search for shootme. Hit install. It ll take 10 seconds and its simple and easy to use.
a few days back there was a thread talking about this but no one knew the correct pattern to take a screen picture. Do you remember your combination?? I believe people said something like pressing home and back at the same time.
@Alex...thanks ill do that.
@Dmolition...I don't know what I did to take that screenshot. I did it on accident a few times and I never downloaded app from market. I'm going to keep trying and if I figure it out, ill post it.

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

I de-rooted yesterday (Froyo!) for the first time and out of principle want to see how long I can go. One of the only thing that I missed at the moment was screen captures that I need for the small amount of apps I have developed or plan on developing.
I wasn't aware of this ability in the SDK. That makes sense now.
I accidentally did a screen capture today...the phone was on the car charger and I was trying to turn the screen off, I pushed the power button and heard the shutter sound. May be a glitch of somekind
Btw, I am not rooted

If im not mistake you would either have to be running a custom rom with screen shot option in the extended power menu or just download an app. There are plenty of them for rooted and non rooted users
Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2
hold down the power button, if its a custom rom, it shud most probably be there. otherwise find Power Menu settings and then activate Screenshot
Get screen grabber from the play store. No root required. Be sure to change the settings for root in the app before trying if you don't have root.

Motorola Photon 4G
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201204
I've never figured out how to do the Motorola Screen shot on this device without the volume rocker showing up in the pic. I have an old free app called Shoot Me that isn't available anymore. It takes great shots and also does continuous screen casts. There is a color fix setting that needs to be selected for it to work properly on this device. Requires root. If anyone wants a copy, just PM me with your email address and I'll send it to you.

On the Photon Q you should be able to take a screen shot by pressing the power, and volume down button at EXACTLY the same time.

The Photon Q is different than the Photon 4G. The Q runs ICS. The original Photon runs GB. I think you may be in the wrong thread. This thread is for the Photon 4G, not the Photon Q.

Yes, it is like a video recording of your screen. Yes, it works. It is still on the market, but only available with certain models. I attempted to upload a demonstration mp4 but it said "invalid file".

If you're original 4G MoPho then slap a CM7 ROM on that bad boy and set her loose! Screenshot via power button. Then, backup, and flash a Jellybean ROM! Recover back and forth depending on what you need. Play movies via HDMI to your TV? Th3bill's JB ROMs do it naturally. Need Netflix? Recover back to GB, CM7. Never use any third party app on the MoPho. Just get what you need, and flash via custom recovery. I use Th3bill's CWM recovery, I'm old school, but I LOVE TWRP. My Photon is the only device of 4 not to run TWRP. Flashing is fun, easy, and oh so rewarding. Have some joy in your device!
you can find application like screen graber or screen capture ect.. on play store

Mine has never worked that way from what i recall. I had the EVO 3D and took so many screen captures by accident. Ive just always used the Home, and power button.
