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

that is not the ROM... its the kernels..
I have had the same problem with the link. That rom looks sweet, I hope the link gets fixed or a workaround is created soon
Well, I figured it out. There is a code beneath some advertisement that you type in, which then generates a direct download link. Just scroll down after clicking the current link on the post and you'll see a box that you just type some image verification code it gives you. Then voila. Hope this helps!

i downloaded this but clockwork wont see it i download to my computer put it on both sd cards and clockwork cant find it but when it finished downloading it didnt look like other roms i downloaded it looked like a white file not like the books from winrar any ideas?
yeah, I've noticed it seems to be a white zip file? so right now i am trying to extract the contents into a zip folder and mess around with stuff like that. As soon as I find out what's going wrong here and I fix it, I'll let you guys know!

Well I figured it out! sadly, I can't upload it here, but send me a message with your email in it, and I will email you the compressed zip right away. I just flashed it to my phone and it's working like a charm

Just chiming in to report that this Rezound port of HTC's simple-but-great flashlight app [mostly] works on the Inc4g:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408341
The power button target is a bit off, though. You have to press a bit below and slightly to the right of the on-screen button.
I searched for other versions of this app, but this is the only one I could find so far. If someone else has a link to the original Incredible version or something else that works better, I'd like to see it. (too bad HTC doesn't include this anymore)

good to hear you included it (the little things do matter!)
but I probably should've mentioned in my OP that I'm locked/unrooted... so I was just thinking about apps, not ROMs
or am I just being a noob here? can you share the apk?

Exchanged my S3 for an Inc on Monday afternoon, right around the time HTCDev was pulling the plug on supporting Inc4g unlocks.

I installed it as an apk through Root Explorer. You can download it and install it directly from the link through your browser, though, as long as non-Market apps are allowed.

it's a zip file though, didn't know we could install root explorer. thought you needed root, i have it backed up.
You can install and use Root Explorer. It won't give you access to /system though. But installing apk's is fine. You can install apk's from any file browser as long as Unknown Sources is checked in your options.

I am looking for 3 things.
1. Is there a way to disable video uploading? I only want to back up photos.
2. Is there a way to force dropbox to only upload when connected to a charger? I find the lack of this option in the app to be ridiculous really. I thought dropbox would be a fairly mature app by now.
3. How can I disable the uploading of the screenshot folder? I really have no need to back up these and it just clutters the camera upload folder.
I am rooted so if there is any root way to do it then do tell me. And if there is some other service that can provide me with all these features then do tell as well.
Thanks.
The first two can't really be solved, unless dropbox adds that functionality. For the third one you could try adding .nomedia file to screenshots folder and see what dropbox does about it. .nomedia file hides particular folder from being searchable by android aps like gallery and music, so it might work for dropbox too. Worth a try. You still would be able to access screenshots through file manager

Thanks for pointing out that you find a solution by using a thrid party app.
I know that app is good, but i would like to find a "workaround" with the official dropbox app.

I finally got the stock LG Music app to install on the AT&T H910 last night!
Download one of the stock music APKs that are floating around. Then go to the Play Store and download APK Editor by SteelWorks.
Open APK Editor and tap Select an APK File. Navigate to your download folder and tap the music player APK and select Full Edit (Resource re-build). Once it opens, touch Manifest in the lower right corner. Then don't edit anything. Just hit Save in the upper right corner. The APK Editor then rebuilds and re-signs the APK. Clear out of the ad that serves up next and hit install at the bottom. It should install now that it's been signed.
Enjoy!
I tried this but was unable to get it to work with any of the .apk files in this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-music-app-t3488769 do you happen to have a link to the music apk you downloaded?
Try this one. I either used this one or one I extracted from another ROM
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B72...w?usp=drivesdk
If I have time tonight I can try to share the signed APK the app produced.
there was no app in the link, but i did take your advice and downloaded a rom and extracted that app from there. worked like a charm.... thank you!
This is FANTASTIC news. can some one please post the working apk? thanks soooo much

So I tried like a dozen of stock LG music apps on my unrooted Sprint's V20 and noone of them eventually worked even after appying that APK Editor "trick"! No installation at all, install with FCs and installed no FCs but FCs on attemps to play any song ((
Seems to be the case for other stock LG apps floating around the forum like Calendar, Email, Gallery and so on. You gotta have root and change permissions to install these apps and make em work properly! Only old version of Calculator work ok and works in sideapps, just hope that XDA masterminds will come up with a nice custom rom cotaining all of the stock apps working no prob!

If you tried the link in the OP I believe they are taken down or just got removed. I'll send you a PM for the lg music all you have to do is just download it and install. As for the other apps I have those as well. I can send them to you but you will have to do the same steps as the Op stated for those because I don't actually need them at this time.
