How do take a screen shot on android without root?
You can't. The only way is through the ADK.
Google it.
I think the user above means SDK instead of ADK
Rooting is super easy a monkey can do it.
It shouldn't take you more than 1 minute to do it start to finish.
After you have rooted, download ShootMe from the Market.

gah this is what i get for not paying attention to my auto correct! thank you.
Hmmm...thats odd, I was thinking that ShootMe worked without root. Well, at least it did for my EVO. Might be worth a try.

This used to work on non rooted phones. What happened? EVO on sprint.
It requires root access to work...prior to the OTA update there was an exploit that allowed it to work on non rooted phones but HTC blocked it
Working great on my Evo. For Evo owners: READ! It requires root. Always has. HTC hole allowed it to work before OTA.

Requires root ^^^^
I am not one of the uber l33t [email protected] types that rooted my phone so that I can dig into the inner workings of the operating system. I rooted my phone exactly for reasons like this.
If you're like me and hate not being able to install a program that you want to use.... Root your phone. It's really really really easy (really). If I did it, ANYONE can do it.

Could be an interesting way to manage your que on the fly but until netflix fixes their standardization codec issues with android thats probably as far as we are going to get
It wouldn't let me watch anything. I got excited for a second. It said "sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. (1005)" I wonder if anyone has any idea's on how to fix this.

How did you install it? I tried installing it through Root Explorer on rooted stock and got a parsing error. Froyo and above only maybe?
Edit: Installed w/out issue using Root Explorer on my DROID. I can't believe there's still no Netflix queue management other than from 3rd party apps. Although once the streaming gets the "go" button, it'll be a slick app. I was given the option to resume an instant movie I was just watching on my Tivo but it started loading then took my back to the instant queue page.
The streaming failure has nothing to do with codecs. Netflix has a DRM protection implemented on the app that currently only supports a very limited amount of hand selected processors and firmware. In order to enable streaming were going to have crack the DRM. *braces for a long night*

Same here. Boy does this make me happy though knowing were close to being able, I hope. Been waiting for this app for so long. Dying to see how long ths takes.
Update, it looks like if we can get the lib files for the apk that seem to be missing, you can create a work around with a modified app.

You don't need a dual core......you "need" a chip with baked in DRM.....or patience to wait for someone to break the DRM.

Hey, np. Been wanting netflix fot some time myself, so I keep up on the state of things.
Here's the whole story(as I understand it). Netflix wasn't allowed to put out anything for android or any linux, due to lack of integrated DRM. The new chips that are coming out have a DRM scheme baked in at the hardware level.
What this means for us...gonna have to wait for someone to create a method to lie to the app, telling it that the DRM is present. Also, there will need to be a software based replacement for the DRM module, for decoding the stream.
You would think they would give up on DRM. If they can make it, someone will break it.

Technically the release worked, but Netflix killed it at their end, so no other devices could use it. Once they turn it back on.... who knows.
Good day all!
I have a bit of an odd question, my corporate IT department has switched over to a new moible phone deployment system called airwatch.
It is quite the big brother system, the list of permissions is astounding, with things like remote viewing of camera's, remote wipe, remote activation of GPS to determine location etc, etc, with the privacy issues set aside (I'm not doing anything wrong with my phone and I exceed performance goals so I'm not worried)
The one thing I cannot live with is the requirement that I cannot run any of my work apps on a rooted phone, as a matter of fact if I even try it will lock down my user account SYSTEM wide, meaning I will not be able to access my work laptop or web clients, without IT resetting my account (I learned the hard way)
My question is this, is there a way to retain root access but appear to not be rooted?
Assuming that "stealth"root is not possible, is there a process that I can root/unroot at will with any changes I have made while rooted remaining?
My needs are not too complicated, I would like to keep my custom debloated rom (jelly beans 10), further remove any unwanted apps, tweak a few settings and install my favorite mods and themes, then reroot my phone and install my work apps.
I'm very familiar with working with roms and mods, I have been doing so since the original moto droid, however if there is not a guide to follow I am lost in the woods.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

I assume that the phone was given to you by your company. If thats the case. I would give it back and use my personal phone. I dont go for that invasion of my privacy. But they can do it because its not technically your phone. Now if you use your own phone they cant (legally) do that.

They actually can do this if he chooses to use his phone with the network applications. All they have to do is say is to protect their systems and I'm assuming he's in some kind of high security job with all those monitoring so he probably agreed to in a contract before starting.
OP have you tried simply temp unrooting? The supersu app had that option or you could get ota root keeper and use it to temp unroot.

Haven't used that particular suite but if it is like the others I have seen, it will alert to a changed state. I wouldn't risk it. Don't know where you work but I have seen plenty of companies hand out pink slips after a pen testing.
From an IT perspective, you are a niche when it comes to a responsible smart phone user. Most people just download every free app they find regardless of the full permissions. Throw in the ability to play cracked apps on a rooted device and it's a nightmare.
As far as byod on the network, a decent usage clause will still require you to consent to it before connecting usually.
Do you just use the device for email or do you vpn/etc?

Thanks for the advice all; here is what I found plus the info I left out
The phone is my phone, this is why I was a bit squirrely about the full set of permissions, theoretically someone could tun on the camera at any time and snap photos, since it sits on my nightstand that could be a bit akward....
The usage is primarily for exchange email, and several proprietary apps, ordering, account info, truck tracking etc etc
Temp unroot using the option in the SU does not work
Oddly enough the Vodoo OTA rootkeeper seems to accomplish the task:good:

Hi all I thought I would start a thread for this phone because I just successfully rooted mine! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE + ADB DRIVERS INSTALLED! The only method I got to work was jcase's pwn method from the root with restore by bin4ry tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460). After that I installed SuperSU from the play store and voilà! Full root access!
Xposed framework + GravityBox work well.
If this method doesn't work, try Root Genius (you can find it in replies within this thread)(there is also our own forum over at androidforums). Some people have had success with it. And if you've already tried root genius, try this one. It seems this phone is tricky to root as different methods work for different people!
Awesome - I have this on T-Mobile and it's a decent little piece. I might try this as well; thanks for the post. Seems it's the only thread on XDA so far about this phone.

Haha all we got is the stock ROM. And a locked bootloader. The method in the OP should work to root it tho. Then you can get an app like link2sd or titanium backup to uninstall system apps. Be careful what you get rid of tho, I just get rid of the metro/T-Mobile stuff and google+, play books, play games, etc.

i actually used roootgenius to root it, trust me i thought this program was fake or a virus but it worked.
the only thing is im taking the phone back now because the audio quality is horrible and the UI design is for people of years 80+ (no offense)
really good phone with terrible audio and geezer UI designs. (I can barf looking at the dialer)
anyways now im looking for the stock rom because i did root it and deleted system apps with out making a back up -_-.
if i do a full reset will the system apps come back?

All of the google apps and metro/T-Mobile stuff should be safe. Anything that you can search for on the play store and find should be safe. Anything that's not on the play store I just freeze and leave there since this phone isn't cramped for storage space and I don't know if there is a way to flash a restore as of yet.
My new favorite home launcher - APUS. Much better than our outdated Kyocera launcher.

I'm sorry, I should have noted ALWAYS LEAVE THE STOCK LAUNCHER ON YOUR DEVICE!! This is just to be sure that if for some reason your new launcher of choice gets messed up or you accidentally uninstall it, you'll still have a 'backup' launcher. Otherwise you'd be screwed and have to find a way to restore.

Is it possible for com.tmobile.pr.adapt to force Super SU to grant root access?
I noticed it got access and I dont remember ever allowing it. This happened after using Ti backup to uninstall T-Mo My Account.
I've since uninstalled the ctpa (for short) diagnosticware so the visible and immediate problem is gone.
But I'm afraid I tripped the root notification to T-Mo servers. I'm also scared that Super SU was somehow compromised.
Does anyone know more about this?
I have LG-H901 (T-Mobile V10), bootloader unlocked, rooted w/ TWRP and Super SU installed. Factory ROM has not been changed.
it shouldnt force su access, I used xposed and root cloak to hide it from asking for root
I made a copy of it with titanium back up and deleted it, no problems.
You didn't trip anything, don't worry.

I realize that, but if you search the threads, all it does is report analytics / diagnostics / and modified systems to t-mobile, we've known this since the phone debuted 2 months ago. And if you are that concerned about system integrity, freezing it doesn't break dependencies, like both moving or removing would.

That is a good habit in general, but pointless in this case, as Adapt Client is a piece of spyware garbage. There is absolutely zero benefit to keeping it.

Some people may at one point want to accept an OTA update.
In that case you need an unmodified system with this garbage intact.
I agree that it is a useless piece of spyware garbage.
However there may still be a need for it for some people at some point.

Leaving crapware on your phone defeats the whole purpose of rooting, really, IMHO. If you can root, you can flash an .img file or a ZIP to update to the latest version. OTAs only make sense if you're stock, unrooted.
