Check out this guide/list of mine... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381627
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..
Thanks ill check it out now

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.

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

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

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

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

Yea at first I really liked this. Its originally I think from the samsung wave and its android market. But this thing lags a bit. I too went back to the original one. Anyone else and their thoughts on this

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

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...
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA App
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**)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

theres people asking for this....and i don't think people should flash a non stable rom just for this animation....so here:
screen off and lock
doesn't use lock button, but you can remap long press of search button (i don't use google voice actions that much) to lock the screen with an animation.
hope this helps some people
oh....and if you're rooted (which most people on here are) you can pull the xml animation file and rename it lock_screen_enter.xml or lock_screen_behind_enter.xml, then push it to your frameworkres.apk/anim, it will be your animation for unlocking your phone. it's ultra fast and fits perfectly with the unlock sounds.
i'd include a video, but i dont have a digital camera....
Hmm, Im going to wait to see if someone tries this. Could be pretty epic.
Hmm I was under the impression that the frameworks prior to ginger bread had no support for that kind of animation.
Might when I get home, I really do like the tv animation
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I guess pre-gingerbread, the sdk doesn't call for an xml when hitting the power/lock button. So that's why I use the feature to remap long pressing the search button.

doesn't give me screen off animation like in gingerbread on my Vibrant..... uninstalled.....
You guys have to configure it first, you know..... Look in your apps for "configure screen off and unlock" it's not that difficult.

alright, sorry , it sounded like ya think i'm a moron. I tried 2 times, reinstalled, restarted, and still no Gingerbread style tv off animation. There seems to be a slightly different animation when putting phone to sleep when I set it to "old style TV", but def not gingerbread , not even close.
So I guess I'm must be doing something VERY wrong with the simple instructions and setttings... IDK man. Not sure what to say,
Thanks for the app, unfortunately tho it does not give that GB style tv off animation
EDIT: yes I have all animations turned on, always do
I figure it's close enough for those who really wanted the animation like me. And it works in landscape. So that's a plus to me.
I just wasn't down to install an unstable gb build for this animation.

I'm not bashing at all. Just reporting back from my use of the app. NONE of the animations I select work , so maybe it is the ROM I'm using. IDK.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Working very well, thanks man! Are there any ways to speed/slow down the animation?
EDIT: Can you also elaborate on unlock animation? Does this mean when we hit the power button the screen will turn on that way in reverse? I'd like to get that going, but would I have to know how to edit and recompile an apk? I've never really messed with xml files.
I mean the transition from your lock screen to your home screen/open app.

can we do this using root explorer?
What I do is take this app from data/app and bring it to my computer, and extract scale_old_tv.xml, and rename it to lock_screen_exit.xml and take your framework, and drop it into framework/res/anim

+1 I am having the same problem
Try searching for an app called Button Remapper on XDA. Or you could edit the file in /system/usr/keylayout/ruby-keypad.kl
I haven't messed with it on this phone, but you should be able to change the function of the buttons, make it not wake the phone, or just leave it blank. I'd make a backup before messing with it, save a copy of the original files, and when you edit them try to make them look as much as possible to original as you can add far as formatting and spacing.
If this is over your head, be very very very careful. Or don't do it, haha. Good luck!
