Is there native screen shot capabilities? Just came from T-Mobile and the G2x so I am still learning.

Wait for ICS which is coming up real soon and it'll include screenshot.
Is there any app in Market that can provide this function for razr?

ScreenShooter ER works fine but you need to be rooted.

What if I don't have the root access? Any apps support this?
Sent from my XT910 using XDA App
No root screenshot it works well on the razr. It does require you to connect the phone to a computer for the initial setup, and you need to reconnect it to a computer everytime you reboot your phone. The app is also about $5. I'd wait for ICS unless you really need this capability now.
try pulling "Screen Grabber apk" from one of the X2 ROMs
it work GREAT on the Razr
Anyone can provide this?

I am using DDMS from Android SDK Suite. Yeah, you need to connect your phone to PC, but, still usable.
Here I attached my Home screen. BTW, I change the default Motoblur to stock Gingerbread Launcher2.

how do you do this exactly? sorry newbie
ddms is a part of Android SDK suite which you can download from android.com . This suite is Android software development kit for PC/Mac/GNU/Linux. Download the suite and related packages, enable Debugging mode in RAZR, connect to PC, and start the ddms program. This program is a java based program, which use adb to pull framebuffer from the phone and convert it to PNG format.
Beside using ddms, I explained how to use adb and ffmpeg to pull and convert the framebuffer into PNG in this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20567738
You can look/google for ddms tutorials for further information.
There are several screen capture apps in Market which not requires rooting. I use this one, but, the developer need to add RAZR resolution to make it usable. Yeah, I choose this app and I don't mind the extra steps, because it is FREE.

Is there an app that will allow me to take screen shots of my locked dell streak running an official 1.6 rom? please say it's possible.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
No app that I know of you can take screenshots with the Android SDK but it requires that you be connected to your computer by USB cable.
I made a shortcut to ddms.bat and put it on my desktop so I can just click and open the sdk interface.
The Android SDK is available for multiple operating systems so one advantage is that it works on most computers.
Aw man! All that? lol. I'll pass... Thanks for the info tho. (0:

It's actually pretty easy. Looks like more than it is.
I was looking at how yahoo video plug-in uses the HTC front camera and found out that it calls “com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.FrontFacingCamera. getFrontFacingCamera();” to load it. So I baksmali-ed the com.motorola.hardware.frontcamera.jar and changed it to look like the HTC version so YM can use it.
ADB Method (YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO APPLY IT):
1. Extract YMFrontCamADB.zip
2. Connect your device in Debugging mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging)
3. Run YMFrontCam.bat and follow the instructions.
4. Close the process for YM plug-in.
5. Make a video call.
YMFrontCamCWM.zip and YMFrontCWMCamRemover.zip can be used for CWM un/installation
NON-ATRIX devices should use the ADB method as the CWM method is specific for Atrix only. If the ADB method doesn't work, download the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.zip, extract com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar, copy it to your /system/framework and change the permission to 644
2011-05-31 - Updated to support more devices.
Gingerbread devices (using the standard 2.3 front camera API)
Motorola
Samsung
LG
Dell Streak and Streak 7 (Untested)
Huawei (Untested)
Other htc devices without the com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar (Untested)
Feel free to edit the source and make it work on your device
2011-05-31 - Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip script to fix mount command on other devices. The new script requires busybox (rooted devices should have it anyway)
2011-06-11 -Updated YMFrontCamADB.zip and com.htc.hardware.twinCamDevice.jar to fix the exception in integer "Parameters" values (samsung, dell, lg). Source code FrontFacingCamera.java.zip is updated as well. CWM method NOT updated.
2011-07-03 - After more than 2 months of hiding and distributing the APKs in secrecy, I’m now attaching them in here. I was advised not to post modifications for Google Market APKs here and so I did but as I can see in other threads, everything is allowed.
For a fix that does not need root and ADB stuffs, you can download the APK versions. First you have to uninstall the YM and YM plug-in from the market, install yahoo.im.apk (a must) and choose one among the plugins that suits best your need.
There are 4 versions of the plug-in I made. Some users reported that their devices got the wrong camera orientation (side-ways, or flipped image) and so I made 3 additional versions that add 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise to the orientation. It might or might not show the correct orientation on the android device but the transmitted image should be correct. Another thing is that, FFC and back cam doesn’t always have the same orientation so fixing the other might break the orientation of the other; so choose which cam you prefer to use.
Awesome! Haven't tried it out yet because I'm not home, but sure hope it works. I wonder if it works with other apps... any chance of looking at Vtok and Ovoo?
EDIT: Confirmed, it works with Yahoo. I used the com.htc.hardware.twinCameDevice.zip method and not the CWM flash, but have no reason to imagine that the other method wouldn't work as well. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Doesn't seem to work. I used the cwm zip to apply the update. I can see the flip camera icon but it never switches to front camera.
Update: removed and applied again through cwm, works like charm! Thanks for sharing.

I have a modified version of ooVoo that works with the atrix's front camera but I'm not sure if I can post it here or not.
I believe though that ooVoo will very soon release the version that supports the atrix and the front camera. Their code actually includes the loader class for the front camera but for some reason, it is not yet included in loader array. Maybe it is still under testing.

What version are you using? I'm using the french 4.2.1 sbf (bell). Maybe it's just a versioning issue. I'll make one tonight (GMT - 5) that will actually load and use the motorola library to avoid versioning issues.

You have to mount /system as read/write. If you don't know how, it should be easy to find out on google.

I remember seeing that Skype with video was out for the thunderbolt, any way we could make that work using a similar method?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
According to what a few other people have said, that app was coded with a lot of lines of code specific to that device... so it would practically be quicker to start from scratch.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Do you believe that this will work with the Xoom as well seeing how they have the same camera drivers?
It's sure worth a try, I bet so. If not, the same method (renaming the default camera framework file to the htc version) would work. Try it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've updated it and changed the code to simply load and use the existing driver from motorola. It should be easy now to port to other devices.
Works perfect

Only ways I know of is to root or you could try Sideload Wonder Machine.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
go to the market and download
SQlite Editor (it's like $2.99, but this will take less than 15 minutes, so just refund it once you are finished)
once it is downloaded, make sure you have root access, and navigate to:
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/
in there you should see a file called settings.db
open that up with sqlite editor
once it's up, look until you find the line that says :
" force_only_market_apps" in it's own cell. to the direct right you will see (in it's own cell) the number 1
simply change the 1 to a 0
so it'll look like this
|force_only_market_apps | 0 |

rooting your phone is just too messy. just use sideload wonder machine. its an app that you run on your computer with your phone plugged in via debugging mode. then you just choose the apk to load from your computer, and it will install it. i used this to install gameloft's let's golf and gt racing motor academy and it runs perfectly fine, no rooting necessary.
Thanks for the help guys id rather not root the phone right now since its brand new and im perfectly fine with this froyo until gb is officially released.

I recommend using the guide found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315711
So, I assume you've used Pete's Rooting Tool, with that said, am I assuming correctly that, this tool is what said you were successfully rooted?
Also, what launcher are you running on your DX2? Some launchers give you the ability to hide apps in the app drawer and perhaps that app is hidden. A better way to check for this app would be to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> "All Tab" -> Scroll and look for Superuser
I'd also give it another shot. Make sure you pay close attention to the steps provided, sometimes it's easy to miss one of the steps. If you're still having problems, post back some of the things you've checked and we can continue to help you troubleshoot the issue.
Using Petes one click I was never successfully rooted even tho on the computer screen it says I was successfully rooted.
The one thing I noticed while using Petes one click is that my phone is only rebooted once during the whole process. Also I'm running adw ex and the apps aren't hidden.

Try the new zerg method in the 2.3.5 leak post. It works pretty smooth although the petes one shouldwork for ya.
