How to record from Android screen - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just purchased a new Android phone running Pie.
I want to have a way to record my screen e.g. to a MicroSD card, so that I can later copy the video file of that recording to my PC.
Does Android have a built-in mechanism for screen recording?
Thanks.

No need for a custom ROM.
No need for an app.
Just use:
adb shell screenrecord

I had the same plugin, its somewhere in the N7 thread. You place it on the root of sdcard and enable the option for custom plugins in Dice settings. It doesn't work for GTab, every time I tried to play a DTS video using Dice, it would just disappear on me... no FC just disappear.
Did you ever find a player that can play dts on the galaxy tab?

i havent tried DTS on current player. I'll see if it works and let you know.

Got a 720p w/ DTS transffered to my GTab, I tested using VLC for Android Beta
Here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon&hl=en, but I am not able to install from here so I get it from their nightlies http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/armv7-android-neon/
It says for neon and specific hardware for HW accesleration, but it seems to run fine with occasional stutter... but I expect stutter from 720p videos since our processor does not really have mkv support.

Dang, after watching the video longer, its gets out of sync. The problem is that it does not have tegra2 support in the link I posted. They do have a tegra2 version, but it has not been updated since Oct and it doesn't run that great. If your able to, you might be able to build your own tegra2 from their source and get the latest updates to try.

Recording with stock app limit on 4 GB

Hi guys,
I've been using iPhone since they launched and LG V30 is my first android phone.
Here is my question,
Is there a way to record more than 4 GB?
I've been using my LG V30 to record some of my music sessions and it seems that everytime file size reaches 4GB, it stops and restarts.
Stop and restart is okay but there is about 3 second missing from it.
I've tried open camera app but for some reason, audio is terrible.
Can anyone chime in and help me out with this?
Thanks alot.

Are you using the LG camera app in order to film your work or are you using the app called HD audio recorder? On my TMO V30 the HD recorder was already installed.
Next are you recording to internal storage or SD card storage?
If you have external SD card how did you initially format the card? FAT32 or EXFAT?
Answers to those questions may point you to an answer.

Okay, here's what I would do. I'd try to do a recording with the HD recording app and test to see if it allows recordings over 4gb. If so then issue is probably due to Camera app. From there if try a different camera app to test. I'd recommend the Google camera mod app available on this forum.
If the HD recording fails after 4gb then maybe system wide limitation. Do you have a AV file over 4gb? Could you connect to computer and try to copy file over to both SD and internal storage and see if you get any errors copying?

Hi! I'm getting a V30 this week and I also plan to do a lot of video recording with it so this is of interest to me. I did bump into the 4GB file size limit on Android as well when recording long videos with other Android phones such as my V10. First I thought it would have something to do with FAT32 storage format which has a 4GB file size limit but after doing some research it seems it's not related to FAT32 but a (arbitrary?) limitation of the Android OS. However, some Android phone makers seem to be able to tweak the OS in such a way that you can record beyond 4GB, for instance Sony (tested it on a Xperia XZ).
Regarding the V30, I just happened to come across this recent thread which is talking about a new OS update for the V30/V30+ bringing features of the newer V30 ThinQ to the older V30(+): https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/oreo-update-ai-camera-t3760379. Now the interesting thing is that one of the new features listed says "Google Drive supports downloading files larger than 4GB". It could be nothing after all but maybe, just maybe, this also means that Android on the V30 now generally copes with files larger than 4GB and that this will also affect recording video with the native app.
Other than that, a few thoughts how to tackle the problem:
- Judging from my experience with the V10, the native camera app of the V30 should have the option to change the recording bitrate. If you can live with a lower bitrate for your video, you can squeeze out a couple of more minutes recording time. On the V10 I was able to record over 1 hour in 720p resolution with the low bitrate setting.
- I don't have the V30 yet, but maybe the native app (or some 3rd party recording app) has the option to record with the newer H.265/HEVC video codec instead of the (still) common H.264. The superior compression of H.265 will allow you to have a much smaller file size while keeping the quality, ergo you will be able to record a lot longer even if the 4GB file size limit continues to exist.
- OpenCamera is only one of the 3rd party camera apps that support auto-restart: If you find the audio to be terrible you could also check out "Cinema FV-5" or "Filmic Pro".
That being said, I'm glad to hear that on the V30, the native app at least seems to automatically restart after reaching the file size limit. On the V10, you have to manually push the record button again which is annoying when you just want to place the camera somewhere and keep it running while you have other things to do.
Still, let's hope Android get rid of this limitation asap!
I recently realized this limitations of 4gb and there's an interruption of several seconds at least when recording 4k slog format...this is terribly disappointing.
I don't mind the 4gb size limit but how is it possible that you miss time between files?
Infuriating.

Can someone who tried it post videos of the resulting vid?
Thanks for the post, I did run the file through Virus total first, nothing bad found and according to the media info from a recorded clip (and you can see it with your own eyes too) it does appear to be recording 4k 60 FPS.
It acctually works!
I'm on the N950FXXU5CRHA firmware.
I just don't get why the video size is so small for UHD (60fps) video?
I recorded 4K (UHD) 30fps from stock camera and it was 300 MB, while 4k 60fps has 250mb
Maybe because it doesn't have HDR
Can you turn on HDR with this camera or is there a script?
I opened Video Info Viewer and here:

Maybe your bit rate is set to a smaller value, I think it's about 50MBPS from the stock app.
I'm going to have a play with it in the morning to test further.

Thank you so much!
The default was set to 14MBPS, but I set it 50 as you said and video size is 750MB!
It's amazing that note8 can record 4k 60fps.
Technicly, this is the first phone that is able to record.
And "able to record" doesn't mean there is an option.

Btw @KunkerLV
Will this app work on custom ROMs?
For examle if note 8 gets lineage OS, can we use this to record 4k?
And can we use this method on project treble GSI?
Or does this need samsung library?

i used lg version on my old lg g5 and its useless without sound. wtf is the purpose ? you need SOUND to play pubg good and create fcking content.
samsung recorder is using a stupit format like all other android recorders. its FPS is changing throut video. only ios recorder is recording at true 60p.
if you want to record just go and buy an iphone it is what it is. THERE ISNT any famous pro android pubg mobile youtuber. ALL of them are using ios recorder started from ios recorder if they are using capture cards and pc via hdmi.
