Can anyone recommend a screenshot app that they KNOW works on the Streak ?
I've just tried to take a screenshot on my Streak with drocap2 and PicMe, both resulted in a picture with either a nasty red or purple tinge to the image :/
i have shootme
Confirmed. Shootme works on my 2.2 streak as well.
Saw the comments about ShootMe, which states it requires root. Are you saying that it works without root on Android 2.2 on the Streak? Or are your phones rooted?
I have a Backflip with stock 2.1 (not rooted) and they somehow left the permissions set so that Shootme and PicMe work, so I know it is possible to use these on some phones without root.

drocap2 - if you are using Streakdroid 1.9.0 check the box 'swap endian' in preferences.
These require root.
Both work fine and don't have the color issues of other screenshot apps.
drocap2 has no exit feature. I have to kill it when done in manage applications. I keep it because I like the notification bar trigger it includes.

I usually use the android sdk 2.2,the other apps don't seem to work that good for me,all I get is a blue upside-down image with capture.

Could you post what ROM, etc. you are running? When did you try the apps (latest version or older version)?
Screenshot by Gik Soft,works very well no funky colors,although when I try to see the capture is upside-down.Weird but at least I don't need the computer and colors look fine.Running 318 as well without the performance patch.
Thanks for sharing this.

the upside-down "feature" is due to the fact that the lcd in the streak is mounted upside-down, i read that somewhere in these forums
That's funny,these guys at Dell should start releasing some updates to fix some of the bugs.I had two android phones before none of them had the bugs the streak has.
Seems to me the streak rom has been made by a new rom cook,specially when it comes to deleted videos and thumbnails.
Thanks for your reply.

My first two Android phones had many more issues than the Streak.
I got fed up with AT&T's android offerings and tried another carrier and two other phones. Including my wife's Captivate I have personally used 5 other android phones besides the Streak and out of the box the Streak is the best that I have used.

this worked perfectly for me. maybe DJ Steve could come up with a fix for the upside down lcd?? that would be wonderful, but if not, using drocap2 and the preference fix fixed it all for me. thanks

Greetings,
I present a small taste of Gingerbread before the real deal. This time around you can install via clockwork recovery which seems to be easiest for all. Download gingerbread146v1.zip to the root of your sdcard.
Boot into clockwork recovery (hold vol + and vol - then power on select option 2).
Select option to install zip from sdcard.
Select option choose zip from sdcard.
Select gingerbread146v1.zip and begin install
Back out to the main screen and reboot system.
First boot will take a bit after installing zip.

Will this work with the percentage battery pkg? Also, does it have the new keyboard? I'm curious about the keyboard.

I tried installing the percentage battery pkg after installing this, but it ends up breaking the Gingerbread theme. It does not have the new keyboard, but you can install that separately and it will work.
I like this theme alot but the names under the icons need to be white so that I could read them. They are black, only when you press them can you see what the name is.
I like the theme as well. Will it also be updated to work with Steve's 1.5.0 soon?

Had a friend and coworker assist with updating the text color in context menus. Unfortunately it did not work out as planned. I will probably replace the black menus back to white so it looks proper and should take care of the black on black as well. Thanks for your interest.
Will use this as soon as the menu issue has been fixed... thanks Quikt
working on v1.5.1,
menu text still black,
launcher pro dock and icons are custom
it doesnt look quite right when compared to official gingerbread.
Hi All,
I have (at long last) managed to do a black taskbar, with a coloured battery (With percentage) and coloured icons (V3). The carrier and other text is white.
Respect to Quikt for his modified services.jar & Tina333 for all her theme work!
This theme works on DJSTeve's latest 1.5.0 ROM & Also 1.6.0
NOTE it will take a few minutes to load so it will hang on the boot animation for a few minutes - just be patient!!!
As normal copy the zip file to your SD root. Run Recovery (I use mistadman, because it's brilliant), etc, etc
What's the best app for a screen shot?

I want to try this but it took me awhile to upgrade my US att 1.6 to steve1.5. I am still iffy with the command prompt thing and not sure when to run what.
If I drop this in the root of my SD can I just hold the volumes and power buttons and tell it to install from zip or do I have to do some command line in fastboot first?
If not mistaken I just boot up using volume keys tell it to install pkg from sd card and then clockwork boots and allows me to install zip?
does my phone reset or is everything else retained?
Thanks.
Hey Ody,
If you could drop these changes into a framework for Steve's 1.5.1 so we can have a version for it, I'd really appreciate it!
Steve's changed the animations in 1.5.1, and he's saying that could present a problem with the status bars, themes, etc.
Anyway, I love this bar, and would definitely want to put it on 1.5.1 when I go to it. In fact, I might just wait a little bit to see if you update this before making the jump.
Call me crazy to wait on a whole ROM for a status bar, but I'm a sucker for a black bar, and I think this one's the best.
Thanks!
I installed it over 1.5.1 and everything booted fine. I lost the animations, which I didnt like anyway.

Ahh good call there. I thought that might be what would happen, but I have had these things result in bigger consequences before. Wasn't willing to experiment this time.
Anyway, I just flashed it too with the same result. I didn't hate the animations, but I tend to prefer snappy to flashy when it comes to performance, so I don’t think I will miss them either.
Plus, I have my favorite black bar back!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
If you find you really miss the animations, you can also take the framework from this taskbar, run through the UOT kitchen, changing nothing except for adding which ever animation you want, then cook it up. Just tried it with the flying animation and it worked.
can you do that and post the zip?

uhhhh, dumb face here.
I currently dont have enough posts to post a link to the one I made. But if you want to make you own, its not that hard. Just go into system/framework folder using root explorer, make a copy of the framework-res.apk file, and paste the copy into you sd card. From there transfer the file to your computer. Then go to the UOT kitchen website. Just select theme only, click and keep selecting the "dont include" option until you reach the animation section where you pick the one you want. Fom there you click onto the next page where you will upload your framework to the website, click next and the cooking will begin. After it is done, transfer the zip file created back to you sd card and go into clockwork. First you clear you davlik cache then run the zip, reboot (which will take a little longer than normal) and you will have this theme with the animation of your choosing.
Just applied this on 1.5.1 for the first time, very impressed, thanks

I am currently using Dialerone.. I give it a 4 out of 5... The only issue I have with it is that the dialer buttons are so small. It is very hard to hit the buttons with one hand.
I contacted the developer and he would assist with making them bigger but he said he needed a streak designer.. Whatever that means.
The buttons look great on the droidx nice and big.. but small on the streak..
Does anyone know of a dialer that is comparable to the default dialer with large buttons, but also has t9 lookup built in?
thanks
.. edit.. second issue i have is the call button is so damn small, it is half the size of a number key.

You might take a look at aTakePhone. I think I read it has a T9 option. Not sure of the button size. I used it all the time on my Palm Treo. Developer is VERY responsive!

Tried a few of them...
Dialerone seems to be the best..
only thing i miss in the default one was T9
You may have a look at thaidial
It does have the T9 too!
<but, eh, it retains the small buttons problem.. But, I think they are a bit bigger than the Dialerone>
Its free, give it a try too.

Installed Dialerone last night.It was ok. But when I wake up this morning, a lot of my apps was force closing, even mess with the frame res apk. I found out that it was the Dialerone was messing with it. When I uninstalled the app, the phone is back to normal.
ramtix,
What rom are you running? When you report stuff like that you need to provide more info.
Even though your problems started after you installed dialerone that does not mean that dialerone is the cause. It could be a combination of apps that is the problem, in other words when they are both on the phone you have issues and with only one no issues.
I use dialerone with no problems. I'm running 318, with the performance fix on an unlocked (direct from Dell) Streak.

Hi all
I am using streak but can't find good screenshot program. Anyone solve this problem?
If i take a screenshot, it took reversed. I have to rotate that to see. That bugs me.
Plz. Help me. Thanks guys.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
I personally use drocap2 but I have to rotate the shot.
ScreenshotIT has a rotate option in the menu but I haven't had good luck with it
The issue with the rotated screen shots is a Streak issue, all of the screen shot apps do it.
drocpa2 with the swap endian setting checked and screenshot by Kastersoft (formerly GikSoft) work for me.
I tried a paid app that had a setting for auto-rotating the images but they cam out pink. (don't remember which one)

Marvin, I think that was the ScreenshotIt app that I also tried, which has a menu setting that will rectify the "pink" issue, BUT only the pink issue, more times than not my screenshot looked like a negative, which there is also an option for, but it didn't always work, so I switched back to drocap2 and it never gives me any problems.
I don't understand why it defaults to display the image in portrait mode if the Streak, at least mine anyway, is default landscape. I wrote the devs back a while ago and they responded that they are working an a fix just for tablets that should take care of the Streak and anything else 5" and up, so I'm anxious to see that
For me the best way is using a desktop application called myphoneexplorer it is very useful and has an option to take shot.

Yeah I've got that but I'm not always connected to my computers when I need a screenshot so I stopped using it

You might want to link to that. The Screenshot It I found is $3.99, there is a free trial that will take 5 screenshots. Sometimes the names are similar.
ok, will do.
The developer has finally fixed the "tint" issue with Screenshot It.
Now it works like it should, & it's a breeze taking screenshots.
You still have to tick the "flip picture" box, but that's all.
I believe it's the best screenshot app for the Streak.
If having to flip the screenshots manually after taking them really bugs you Screenhot It does have a setting for flipping them automatically. I found two apps with that name, so since none of the posters who recommended Screenshot It linked to it, I will.
Screenshot It trial
You can test with the trial version, the paid version is $4, which is a too much IMO.
The trail version says that you get 5 test shots, I only got three and when I took the third a dialog box popped up urging me to buy from the market that could not be dismissed (I didn't try killing the app) so you could not even finish processing the last screenshot (I wanted to see how the share options were handled) . When I ran Screenshot It to see if it had an exit option on the menu after taking the last screenshot the notice to buy also popped up and I could not even browse the settings.
For an app that costs $4 the trail is too short and too limited.
BTW - the attachment was taken with drocap2, which is still my favorite screenshot app.

All i really wanna do is get the black bar across the top lol
and ive been having way to many issues with other roms.
If you are only applying one thing, you can just use Metamorph from the market (rooted). Then go to Droidpirate.com and find you notification bar you want and follow the dorections.
Quick and easy. Zipthemer can do multiple changes as once in an update.zip style.

The clock color is contained in the services.jar file. You would probably also need a modified xml in framework-res that controls the ticker text (e.g. the text that flashes on the statusbar when you updated an app from market) & the color of the date that displays when the status bar is expanded.
