[Q] Does anyone have difficulty in using shootme or any other screenshot apps? - Dell Venue

Hello there
I am a venue user from Korea.
Yesterday, I found a problem with screenshot apps.
I installed shootme and captured random shot, but the color of image is like negative, and tried another screen-capture app too, but the result was same.
I am not sure whether it is the problem of only for Korean venues or not.

did you use Shoot Me (screen grabber) ? I tried but the picture always red. Search in the market for screenshot (Gik soft) it's OK

I really appreciate your help. Screenshot does work!!
It uses same 'SU', but I don't know why it happens only some apps like shootme..

Just want to share with all of you...
I also installed Shootme and PicMe, but they didn't work as expected, the color tone was hell....
Thanks phucleo.
The SreenShot (Gik Soft) is working fine.

The graphics driver I guess, I gave up using app to capture screen, instead, I use the Android Screen Capture which is for Dalvik monitoring and debugging, so I only use the capture when the Venue is connected with USB.

Taking screen shots

I dunno if it's the dual cams, or GB, but all my screen shots are borked.
I've tried ShootMe and ScreenShot which just distort the images something fierce.
I've seen some people post screen caps so it must be possible but I havent seen a single post here about it and I've had nothing but problems....
Whatcha using, or whats the workaround ?
[edit
This is what they come out like...
DroCap2 works a treat for me.
give that one a shot, it's free and on marketplace as well.
Thx bud, as you said, works a treat...
DDMS tool - Android SDK
I use the DDMS tool that you can find in the Android SDK package.
How do you get it to not show the start and cancel options
Edit : got it had to use notification trigger and set the image as jpeg if not they'd come out choppy

Doesn't work properly for me. Seems buggy. Most of the time when it captures a screen, you see the "DroCap2 has been granted superuser..." popup on top of what you are capturing. And most of the time the screen has improper line shifts and blocking issues where it appears the screen got captured mid-refresh.

I also use Android SDK/DDMS. Will try DroidCap2, but i dont have high expectations. No screencap app has worked yet, as im not rooted and wont be until full root is possible (perm).
Did notice tho that live wallpapers cause tearing in the screen caps.
EDIT: Droidcap2 needs root, so i wont be able to try it, so far DDMS has worked well, screenshots on my facebook page linked in my sig

Could it be as simple as going into settings > display and making sure auto-rotate screen is selected?
If it isn't that, I'm totally unsure.

source code to the wipe rotation data command in twrp.
https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/blob/master/extra-functions.c#L531
the wipe rotation data command only does two things:
Code:
__system("rm -r /data/misc/akmd*");
__system("rm -r /data/misc/rild*");
these are both values stored on the /data partition meaning when the user performs a factory reset (wipes /data), these values are erased.
another words, these values shouldn't be critical and the device should be able to re-create these values.
have you tried the g-sensor calibration under the Display in Settings?
worse case, somebody could upload those two directories and you could download/load them.
hope that helps!
maybe its just the youtube app did you try the browser?
Yea the browser version automatically goes to full screen when u play a video so there's no way of telling I can tell there's something wrong bcuz I can't view my photos in landscape mode either

never heard of the calibration failing. can you provide more detail?
how does it fail? does it present an error message? what does the error message say? can you screenshot the failure you're receiving?
also, are you on a custom ROM or kernel? if so, which one?
the more detail you can provide the easier it will be to troubleshoot.
I was running the shooter ROM but I flashed over to steel ROM today and after a full wipe and flashing a new ROM I still have the same problem....here's the same error I keep getting with the g sensor calibration

never heard of that happening before.
short answer: i would try the g sensor calibration from using a stock rom. if you get that error while on a stock rom, that should indicate some type of hardware malfuction, in my opinion and you should be able to show that issue to place where you purchased for an exchange/return.
longer answer: i would open up logcat and look for any type of debugging out when you run the g sensor calibration which might provide more detail around the error and possibly allow for better troubleshooting. might also be worth looking into the settings.apk file at the code which runs the g sensor calibration. not sure that is offered in the aosp settings.apk so might have to decompile the htc version.
sorry for the potentially bad news. hope that helps!

[Q] How to know if phone camera is a spy?

This might sound wierd, but:
How can I be sure that there is no program or website taking photos or videos
from my phone camera, while I regularly use it or browsing??
I mean, I have used IP webcam to broadcast the video from my android tablet to my ubuntu laptop, and it even has a hidden mode.
How are we sure that there is no some app or webpage duing something like that??
This question also comes to my mind, because the laptop webcam has a blue led that turns on when the camera is in use, but there is nothing in the tab?
Check whats running in the background.... and check the permissions of the apps installed on your phone.. thats it

Easy answer is get gemini app manager. When it shows all your installed apps it will tell you which can use the camera and other phone features.

Well while I do think he is being unduly suspicious the only sure way for him to see that is to be able to see there are no unknown apps that can use the camera and by doing so alleviate his concerns.

Your post was correct and to-the-point, no doubt about that.
What I am saying is that by enabling this paranoia, we are doing more harm than good.
And this is not uncommon in Android. For example, many apps require permission to use camera. Gallery apps, photo editing apps, social network apps, you name it. It's simply so that they can have a tiny little button that says : "Take a new photo".
If a developer wants to capture photos without you knowing, he can do it and his app can look pretty legit too.
See where I'm going with this? It's high time we started saying things the way they are.
So, I stand by my point.
@OP: no one wants to see pictures of you THAT bad.

I agree. One thing some android users often seem to skip is the bit prior to app installation where it says exactly what features the app can access. If they see something suspicious there, say a live wallpaper that can dial phone numbers for example, they can just not install it.

[Q]Resolution changed ?

Hi.
I recently noticed that pictures that I'd taken looked a bit wrong. At first I thought it was the camera but then I noticed that also hd movies looked wrong. And I then realised that something was wrong with the screen. I installed an app called 'screen resolution' and tested the screen. Here is the result.
I then asked a friend to do the same on his gs2 and his resolution is the correct 480x800 whereas mine is 432x648.
I have tried installing a lot of different ROM's and kernels but it stays the same.
My questions are, what could have caused this and can it be reverted?
Thanks
/ Feras.

Hi,
There's a app on the Android Market that i think can solve your problem. The name is LCD Resolution, it's free, but requires root and Busybox to be installed. Use it with caution because the app can present some undesired side effects like UI crash, etc.
See ya!
Thanks for the reply. But it seems as if that app changes density only which is not what I need.
Cheers.

[Q] LG Camera app mod issue. Help?

Just out of curiosity i went ahead and tried the Lg G3 camera tweak to test out the fps improvement. I follow all directions given and was left with a broken camera app. So using my past experiences with the S3 (lol) i downloaded titanium backup and backed up my camera app before i even attempted. After i finished with the tweak i ran the app and it was unresponsive so i undid the steps and restored the camera app with tb. The application now works however i dont get to use the entire screen as seen in the screenshots, also i can no longer record with the camera app. Any help would be much appreciated.
Yes i have root.
Video i followed HERE

What happens when trying to record.
I had this happen too. I believe I just tried another "Mod".
