What is the best app for taking screenshots? - Vibrant Themes and Apps

I have "screenshot" app currently installed, works fine but when I post pics on here, they look blurry. Anyone suggest a better app? Thanks!

Hold back then tap home 3 times.
lol jk i wish we could figure out how to get it to work.....

I've taken screen shots by accident on my phone, but can't figure out how! I don’t have any apps installed for this, it just happened!
Any ideas on how I did it?

Hey shoot me app is great, but I need an app that can be compatible to upload through XDA, because I wanna show the new Nero v3 pink theme but I can't upload due to incorrect file format.

They don't always look good when uploading with the phone. If you use the computer to upload they look great.

Did you install the android SDK when you rooted? There is a tool in the tools folder called ddms or something similar. If you plug your phone into your computer and run that tool it will give you an option to take a screen shot at any point. Even in a 3d game.

best app, i'd have to say shootme.
I've seen a lot of people se drocap2 so...
YMMV

Asked the same question in Vibrant Q & A, the responses I recieved persuaded me to stay with the one I was using,,,, Shoot me

Yup shootme user here as well...

Shoot me is the best. The only problem for the originator of this thread is that shoot me takes pictures in png format while xda app only let's you upload in jpg therefore you need to wither use drocap2 like everyone else does who uploads here or find a converter for your pictures on the market if one is out there and convert the picture to jpg. Or you can try to tell the devs to make the xda app compatible with png im sure there not to busy and will stop everything there doing for this request. (Lol. Just had to add a little humor not being a smart a**)

After alot of trial and error, I found that drocap2 suited my needs the best. I hated the shake trigger or timer functionalities of the other apps, the first never worked for me and the second was a pain of unparalleled proportions.... These two options are available for drocap as well, but I use the notification trigger functionality which takes a snapshot way quicker and more reliably then the other approaches. Drocap also lets you select were the snapshots end up which is a bonus as I like to store my images inbthe same directory!

One thing you'll notice about the notification trigger for drocap ia that it always appears in the picture. Another thing after further use you'll notice that it takes pictures fast but for every picture or at least the first one you'll will catch it will say "superuser as granted drocap" dudah ... so yeah and well if your like lots of of here (anal about screenshots) having that notification in the bar is a h**l no... enough said.

Hard to say. Worse case scenario flash back to stock and then reroot. Download rom manager and flash recovery and then you can backup your current rom and everything on it that way if you make a mistake moving forward you can always revert back instead of starting over. I learned that lesson the same way you did.
What did the app do? Do you remember that at least?
Sounds like a task manager.
maybe advanced task killer
It was similar to a task manager but that was not its main focus ..bah oh well I guess... If i remember the name I'll let you all know, its an amazing app.

when you opened the app.. a box/rectangle that was almost the same size as the screen would pop up but you could still see the background of either the app drawer or what ever screen you had the app on, in the box it would be a list of actions that the app could do, such as end all tasks... there was one that said favorite apps that you could put all your fav apps in instead of having your desktop flooded with apps. those are the only ones i remember, they are the only ones i ever used.
i found it just a few days ago... i saw a review or somthing that made mention of the app and i was all ehh ill check it out and i loved it! ugh its driving me insane now that i cant remember it..
Was it jkAppSwitch by any chance?
Maybe android mate...

Smart Bar. Also allows for you to kill mobile data, amongst many others, with a quick settings toggle. I am positive that that's your app.

Me too. Did they make this so international users could access fb w/ an app? If not, I dont see the point
With this I can upload videos to facebook something I either couldn't figure out or missed On the market app, I like facebook $ better so far but will keep both

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.
Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

I had the same problem. You should go to the link in the post. I know its not supposed to matter, but I made my screen timeout longer. It was stuck each time.... So try that out, it might work for you

I spoke too soon. Its very slow and doesn't have alerts. The best alert facebook app is bloo from the market. The Samsung facebook app is really nice but it loads everytime you go to a new tab or actually update your status or reply to an update.

I also suggest bloo 1.5 but it's not on the market, gotta Google the apk. I hate the official app because it takes you to the mobile version mostly.

[REQ] HD Video Camera APK

Can someone pull the apk from j16 for the HD Video Camera? I had j16 but my phone had issues, so I reverted back to stock and rooted and lag fixed and my phone flies, 2200+ quad score, so im loving it. Just curious if someone can pull that from j16
Thanks
Just curious, why dont you just download the rom and pull it?
Not being rude, just asking
I just downloaded bionix j16 rom and there was no HD Camera apk, there was a camera apk and camera firmware, but no where was there a hd camera apk file
That's because the HD Camcorder icon is not an app but rather just a shortcut to video cam activity of the pre-existing camera app that was always there in JFD. Since some folks didn't realize the HD Cam was there, Samsung just made it more prominent. This is how I understood things anyway.
What resolution is HD 720/480 or 1280/720 im using bionix fusion.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
HD is 1280 x 720
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
1280/720 is HD.
Anyone able to pull this apk yet?

You've always had it, it never disappeared.
Long press on home screen>Shortcuts>Activities>Camera>Camcorder
Call it HD Camcorder if it makes you feel better. As long as the resolution of the recording is set to 1280x720 it will record in HD
Thank you I was wanting that back also. I have a one year old girl and it makes it so much easier to have a shortcut for camera and video that I can hit 2 buttons instead of 3 not a great big deal but you know how kids are one second cute and cuddely the next not so.
Sent from my SGH-T959 running Bionix 1.9.1 JAVA OC /UV using XDA App
Small problem... No activites in the shortcut...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Activities is something that comes with LauncherPro, so if you're not using that you wont see that menu option.
You can download the app "Bettercut" and use it to link to the Camcorder.
Long press home -> Shortcut -> Bettercut -> All Activities -> Camcorder
Hope this helps.

Using ADWLauncher, long press scrren, choose custom shortcut, then you will have activities.

How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background

How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background? I have tried a few and do not like any of the dialers out there. I just want to change the image file used for phones background because I dont like the stock file is blue with a white-ish center. ANyone know where the file is located?
U have to theme the stock apk. I am currently working on this. I am porting over the extreme dialer.

You could just use some of the stable ROMS out so far... CM7 from cybik is working well and CM7's dialer is pretty badass.
Can you take some screen shots of the dialer?

Cm7 w/ blue bionic theme
See now that is a nice looking dialer. Thx for posting screenshot.
I checked out cybik's thread but it looks nowhere near ready to consider. I need something stable as I am on the phone/email all day long and cant go with something not semi-fully functional.
There is no way to just change the background image using Root Explorer or something? I cant believe its not that simple.
The main thing I'm interested in changing is the blue background with the white center when showing contact photo.

How to capture screenies on froyo?

Go down to #15 "ShootMe". Your answer awaits. (However, you must be rooted to use it)
If you are not rooted, you're going to have to dip in some cash for this app... https://market.android.com/details?...S5hbmRyb2lkLnNjcmVlbnNob3RpdGZ1bGxub3Jvb3QiXQ..

I've done it a few times on accident myself, unrooted with no screenshot app. Never could figure out how. Since then though, I just ended up buying ScreenshotIt. Works great for me.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Another thing, after a bit of research stock 2.2 supposedly has a built in screenshot taker. Try these instructions to see if this is what you accidentally did...
1. When you are in the specific screen which you desire to take Screenshot, Press the Back button in right bottom and hold it. While holding Back button now press Home button in the middle. You will hear a capture sound and in moment it will appear Screen captured. Save as image file
2. Go in the Gallery app there is a new folder called Screen Capture. Open it, you will see the captured image. Enjoy!
I tried that but it just goes to the home screen or back.. I have the image still on my phone and its saved as screenshot and I dont have any screenshot apps so idk how I did it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Oh. Sorry that didn't work. Those were some instructions some guy posted that were supposed to work...
Its ok I really done neeed it It would just be cool to know how to do it since its a feature on the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I would also know how exactly this works if anyone figured it out. I think I took about 5 screen shots on accident with some sort of combination of softkeys without knowing how :|
I ended up just getting an app called shoot me and getting honeycream jw1 with ice theme I got bored with froyo haha
