[Q] Higher quality screenshots? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is there a way to take higher quality screenshots on Android devices?
Here are screens from my HOX and Xoom:
http://i.imgur.com/E5YHQ.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/q0Jm7.png
I think both of them could maybe be sharper, and more vivid, as they look a bit pixelated or something (no idea what that's called) in areas. Like for example, look at the Google search bar on the Xoom.
Thanks if anyone can help! :cyclops:

You should try this!

Don't think it it works on Tegra devices, also it's one of those apps which adds a 'Search' shortcut to your desktop, so for that reason as well, I won't be using it.
Tried Screenshot UX on tablet, but looks the same.

How do I get this to work on my phone? Just put it on my SD card and flash it, or unzip through a file manager? I'm talking about the windows 7 UI.

It's a .apk, so you'll need to put it on your sdcard then use a filemanager to run it to install or push it to system/app ... OR you could use adb and install it that way.

I believe the Camera APP your referring to is the one from the MyTouch Slide 4G (AKA Double Shot). I ran the app on my EVO 4G and it was awesome. I can't wait for root to he found so that I can use it again. I will try the Sony APK and see how that is.

Have this happend to anyone else? thanks
Yea I've heard this has been happening..are you using stock rooted ROM?
yes, it is stock! sorry if there wes another thread about this just didnt know how to look it up!
No that's fine..I have read that some of the new roms are incorporating native screen shot support to help with this problem..I'm not.sure but it could be that the app you are using (shootme?) May not support the.e3d yet..since we just got root hopefully this will be resolved shortly

It looks like if i shake it harder the worst the picture is!
i was using screenshoot it? now im using drocap2 and it works if i put it as timer instead of shake.
I might install a rom then. I want all stock looking with out the sprint apps, do you know what rom would be better. also i have no idea how to install a new rom lol.
Use a static wallpaper and not a live wallpaper and see if you have better results.

Try shootme I used it on my rooted EVO 4G and it worked great
Sent from my EVO 3D on the now or later network
shoot me doesn't work right...use dropcap2..it's free in the market and it works great. you can even set its capture mode to trigger by notification
only one that works correctly is Drocap2 and Screenshot It. everything else is not supported just yet.
But this will no long be a problem cause roms from now on will most likely have built in screenshot program
Win/Win imo
I use "no root screenshot it" works just fine..screenshots come out beautiful...let me know if you wanna see some samples..

HC or GB?

HC or GB?
Just wondering how many people use GB and how many HC...
After upgrading to HC and not liking it I reverted to GB again...
Here is a small list of pros/cons with HC
+True BT mouse support
+Pen support improvements
+Non full-screen apps now resize to take up the full-screen
+Live wallpapers continue when flicking between different home screens
-HTCs Fast Boot doesn't work
-Gameloft games do not work
-Phone functionality doesn't work
-Screen real estate is lost - since the hardware buttons are already there HTC should have made it so if an app is fullscreen hide the notification bar and light up the hardware buttons and make them usable again

I'm still at 2.3.3 rooted and S-Off on RUU WIFI ROM.
I really would like to use my pen anywhere I want, but seems like too many people are having issue with the HC Beta Rom. I use this daily for work and entertainment so I'm not quite ready to move to HC until HTC release a more fixes to the current Beta. Or someone cooks up something I really want.
What do you mean as far as screen real estate lost, The resolution doesn't fit the screen well ?

OP may be talking about the big status bar at the bottom, with the back and home buttons, instead of using the hardware capacitive buttons (as with the stock Flyer GB ROM).

Oh, 8 pixels... and there are tools to hide the statusbar. Therefore it is reversed.
Gameloft games are always a little flaky, probably because of all the performance tweaks they make. Reminds me of DOS games in the 90s that used direct hardware access breaking in Windows 95.

There's like 5 that are compatible with gb on the flyer/view. But others work. And the edits to make them work I got from a honeycomb
Device. So I don't see why they wouldn't on a honeycomb flyer. They work for me on gb.

I haven't had a single crash and performance is stellar. Without HC, the pen was really unusable. I don't know about who is complaining about HC problems, but you might not be reading the same forum that I am.
For a .2 release, I can't actually find a reason to upgrade to anything newer unless there are some major improvements.

Hiding the back/home/menu buttons defeats the purpose (and very useful utility) of always having those buttons available.
You can make them it disappear and come back at will so you can save the space and have the functionality.

Uh yeah, I know what "hiding" means. As I already mentioned, unhiding the buttons is an extra step, and is not the same as having those buttons always accessible.

Not quite true. Quite a few work on the original Samsung Galaxy Tab which shares the same screen resolution.
It's probably more to do with the pixels lost to the HC button bar.

I don't understand. I use Rom toolbox constantly to change fonts. I even used fonts from toolbox and converted to bold type font.
I'm having this exact same problem so I didn't want to start a new thread. I've tried ROM Toolbox and probably half a dozen other font changing apps and none of them work. They all request (and are granted) su but after rebooting, same stock font. I must be missing something obvious. P769 w/20F rooted.
I believe that it's because LG UI is based off of Sense. If you use the font changer, some browsers font change on Google search. But that's about it.

I didn't know that the LG UI was Sense-based. Even so, I previously owned an HTC Glacier (myTouch 4G) which was definitely Sense-based and I was able to change fonts without a problem.
Do you have any other ideas?

Well then, idk why it doesn't work. As I said, the browser would change the text of Google Search results in *some* browsers, I think it worked on Opera. But the actual system itself? Nope, nothing. You're stuck with what LG gave you aha. It doesn't matter to me though. Roboto looks LEGIT.

Those are how I don't want to do it ahaha! Because the screen is somewhat laggy /;
EDIT: But I really do want to. My camera is like 4 years old, me being a teenager I don't use digital cameras xD My mother has one, so I can check if it does any better picking up the screen. Hers is newer, and maybe there won't be as much glare. I really would like to start and get a nice joint YouTube/G+ profile going.

Well, I do. I believe I can edit some light settings on Sony Vegas 12 (Which I TOTALLY got legally xD) to where the glare on the screen will be.. less dramatic. I'm also considering doing it in a brightly lighted room, so that the glare isn't as dramatic when compared to the dark. I believe it might just work. And I was getting on to ask, after this video, what other content would be useful?
I'm not interested in unlocking my bootloader, so I won't be making a tutorial aha.
