Hey guys,
I wrote a screen capture app that works for my Atrix since I couldn't find one that worked that was on the market. Here is the first version so I am looking for suggestions/bugs/improvements, etc.
I've only tested it on the atrix because that is the only phone I have, but if you guys could test it on other phones and let me know if it works or not on them, then that would be great.
Edit: Finally posting a new version. *Should* address most of the issues/requests I've seen unless I forgot something. Still haven't had a chance to test on any other devices but it will actually display errors now so I can see why the devices are failing.
Version:
0.6 - Fixed some bugs, screenshots should show up right away in gallery now, added an option to shutdown the services after grabbing the screenshot.
0.8 - Fixed shake sensor bug, added option to invert colors to fix colors for some devices, and service should stay on after reboots.
0.85 - Fixes for some crash reports. Better support for other devices.
Also, I finally added the app to market for those who want to get automatic app updates. I'll still post newest versions here for those that prefer to download from xda.
Market link
update: I haven't had time to work on the app at all lately so if anybody wants the source to fix any bugs or improvements then you can get it from https://bitbucket.org/mindphaze/screen-grabber
props!!! thanks a lot bro
Works great
+1 thanks.
Works great. I would like to see an option for the output folder.

so, what was the roadblock that was impeding capturing the screen with the actual programs? is it something tegra based? or was it something way easy? where did you find the information needed to make this?
Awesome app, and yeah, and output folder option would be awesome.
Nice app. After the app takes a screenshot, does it save to gallery b/c I can't find it for some reason.

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but when trying to read the framebuffer (/dev/graphics/fb0) directly I would get an error. Google provides /system/bin/fbread that grabs the framebuffer so it wasn't anything complicated to just call that to get the buffer.
Got the info from reading the tegra source code.
First bug I've ran into is it unexpecidently stopped running when I connected my phone to my computer in mass storage mode.

Hah I know! I guess that's why they moved it. Dev is only place I visit to so didn't even think of the other forums.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Probably something to do with the sdcard being unmounted.
Works great. Thank you for sharing with us.
One bug or question. How do i stop it from taking any screenshots anymore? I unchecked first two options (enable screen capture and shake sensor) but it still take screenshots if I shake it. Not a big problem but thinking how many it will be taking when i go for run in the morning

lol! little did you know, it doubles as a step counter!
The attached camera app, MIUIcamera-signed.apk will let you see the MIUI Camera on CM7.
Installation is simple, just install end enjoy!
Thanks to csdj92 for figuring out that I had to use the signed version and thanks to kaos217 for posting the signed apk (attached) (originally posted here)
If you're like me and hate having multiple "default" camera apps, using an app such as Root Explorer or Astro File Manager you can go to system/app/ and rename Camera.apk to something else, or delete it all together
Cheers!
Okay, so before anyone on here insults me for asking this, I've tried searching it out and I've found that other people have been able to do this (specifically, on the Evo) but I haven't been able to get it going.
Since MIUI & CM7 are both AOSP build, shouldnt I be able to remove CM7's camera and replace it with MIUI's? I don't like CM7's camera implementation, but I LOVE MiUI's camera.
From what I gathered in this thread, I had to backup the stock camera app, delete it. Rename the MIUI Camera to camera.apk, place it in the system/app/ folder. Then I had to long press on the camera, set permissions to 644 (read) and reboot.
I reboot but I get an error saying Com.Miui.Camera has force closed. Any help?
Attached is the MIUI Camera APK
Try downloading the signed apk on the second page from the OG post. I tried with the one on your post got the error, then tried with the signed apk and it worked fine.

I tried the signed APK and it doesnt work either.
Scratch that, when I tried restoring with Root Manager it or pushing it via ADB, it didn't work, but when I installed it like a regular package, it worked just fine. Disabling the CM7 camera now
Thanks

I think there is a newer version of MIUI camera available... I'm gonna try to sign the new version and release it.
Thanks man, been looking for a better camera since I left all sense behind.

I never said that AOSP's camera was good either. I like MIUI's camera.
What a real shame about the camera, and also the shocking battery life off 7.2!
i am going back to 2.3.6. I had a better time with that.
Here Are Two Flashable Zips. Mms From CM7. 3D Gallery.
Mms & Gallery
Mms & Gallery (Blur Removed)
Both Are Working Correctly Now.
Hope all is well with you and yours Mikey! I'll try these and report back what happens so other will know...
Very cool. Could we get some screenshots? Also can This be applied right over eclipse? Thanks
Thanks Dag, I Got 15% Left On My Phone. I'm Waiting For My Friend To Get Back Gonna See About His Car Charger. I'm Good Here Just Alotta Flooding And Power Problems.
I am running both of these on eclipse without issue. I installed them a few days ago and it's awesome, especially the gallery

It Should Ask If Multiple Galleries Are Installed Which One You Want Or Set A Preferred One.

I Believe This Could Be Installed On Any Rom. There Isn't A Prerequisite.
Do you just flash these like you do a ROM?

Yes No Wipe Though.
If I flashed either of the zips, would it affect the camera in any way? The only reason why I'm sticking with the Blur Gallery right now is because I still want to retain all the functionality of the camera. Thanks!
Does NOT Affect The Camera.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that you should post themes or apps in the Themes and Apps Droid X2 forum, not in general.
Thanks Mike, works great !!
I Know, I Was On My Phone When I Posted It. When I Came Back I Was Looking In The App Section For It, I Thought It Got Deleted. Nope Wasn't Paying Attention.
Noticed this Gallery does not play GIF's.
I tried the ICS rom in development and during it I noticed my pics/videos were not showing up in the gallery. I figured this was a rom specific problem. However upon restore a backup, the same problem is present. I tried rebooting, and triggering media scanner but still nothing.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately it didn't work, thank you though. I'm not sure what the cause could be. I can open the media files, pictures and videos but can't see the preview before opening them. So it's annoying not knowing what is what until I open it.

Considering that we don't yet have an actual ICS ROM for this phone, you should expect some glitches.

That didn't work but thank you. I now got it working by just deleting gallery after making a titanium backup. Rebooted restored and it is now working. Thank you, that suggestion lead to the correct one.

Dude, you are Mount Asshole. I said nothing in my original reply or the one after that could be considered a personal attack to warrant what you have said to me. I simply said that when you are working with unofficial ROMs such as ICS that you should expect to run into some issues. Nothing more, nothing less. You decided to respond with all kinds of nastiness (and an obvious sense of entitlement) for no apparent reason. Perhaps you need a thicker skin if you plan on using the internet in the future. Jerk.
In before the lock. let the conversation continue.

Well first off have you tried the app Rescan Media?
I had this same problem ran this and it fixed the issue..
If this does not fix your issue then you have an errant picture in your media directory. To fix this..
Remove all pictures from your gallery and back them up to your computer
Copy a few back to your phone and have it rescan see if it shows you them in the gallery.. If so then you know it is a picture issue.. Start adding them back in groups and find the errant photo.
Let me know if this helps..

Included in this zip are the APKs and needed libs for all of the currently working KitKat Apps. I have only tested this on the Google Experience ROM, but should work for any AOSP based ROM. YMMV with touchwiz, but feel free to make a backup and give it a shot.
-CalendarGoogle.apk
-Chrome.apk
-DeskClockGoogle.apk
-EmailGoogle.apk
-Exchange2Google.apk
-GalleryGoogle.apk
-Gmail2.apk
-GoogleCamera.apk
-GoogleHome.apk
-Hangouts.apk
-Keep.apk
-LatinImeGoogle.apk
-Maps.apk
-PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
-Street.apk
-Velvet.apk
For Email and Clock, you may need to clear their data after flashing this.
As usual, I am not responsible for anything this may do to your device. Make a backup.

I like the launcher. Haven't played with much else yet.
Edit:
I was surprised as well. That's why I threw a zip together.
I'm using all of them. Can't really tell much of a difference with most. Very subtle changes. Pull to refresh in email, and its more like the gmail app in design. Clock has a better way of sewtting the alarm and the font looks cleaner. Google now is improved. Thats about it as far as I can tell.
I do like the launcher though.
Edit: double post
Is GoogleGallery working 100%, last time I check it was FC when trying to edit a picture, also is there any real difference in the Camera?
Thanks.

Gallery will still FC trying to edit, and the camera icon is different, but thats all I can tell. I dont use the camera much. Photosphere is kinda cool, but I think thats in the old camera as well.
Hows the battery drain with the new launcher? I'm assuming with google now always running (or is it not?) it can be a drainer.
Hasn't been any worse for me. Technically, its always running all the time anyway even in the old system.
Not too impressed with the launcher, using some of the apk's though

You can extract them and install almost all of them one by one. I think maps and clock are the only ones that wont over right whats currently there. I had to delete them before I could get them to install properly without just pushing the APK over the current version with ADB.
Also, Some apps wont work properly without the libs. You'll need to be rooted to push the libs to /system/lib/
Are all camera functions working?
Anyone know if the camera app is 100% working? Photosphere, etc? I tried another 4.4 camera apk, but it FC all the time.

That's because you didn't have the lib files. Its working perfectly for me.
