Screenshot application - G1 Apps and Games

Finished writing up the Screenshot application this evening. You must have root to use this application:
If you want to know how I did it, just read from /dev/graphics/fb0
Screenshot application:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Choose how long to wait before taking a screenshot:
Once the screenshot is taken, you will get a toast on the bottom of your screen.
You can view the screenshot and save it to your SD card (from the menu):
Download it off the Market!

Before we had root, it was impossible to write a screenshot application because when trying to use the ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER permission, you would get denied. However, now that we have it, it obviously works.
The application needs to be compiled in the Android build environment to access some of the internal classes. I started with a modified version of monkey at first (similar to how I made the screen autorotate work). I'm working on stripping out the junk now.

You rock....Keep it up!

You know you can take screenshots with ddms (included in the sdk), right? I think it works even on a stock phone (although I'm not positive).
Granted, you have to have the phone plugged into your computer to take a screenshot with ddms, where your app would be able to take one anytime. So your approach would still be useful

Yeah, thats actually how I figured out how to take screenshots: I dug through the DDMS code till I ended up at the SurfaceFlinger IPC Server.
But as you said, it is not ideal.

Awww. I was expecting to see a preview inside a preview inside a preview.. etc.

Hahha, that's actually what I had screenshotted at first, but then then I realized it looked really confusing.

Once Screenshot Application is ready it will be easy to make Application which can Record Screen activities in Video for Possibly making Video Tutorial of Softwares, OS etc.
Well done koush.

Finished the application tonight. Enjoy guys! Check the first post for instructions/download.

You should download Superuser off this forum. It will ask for permission whenever su is used, and also won't break applications that use su.

No, you need root access to read from /dev/graphics/fb0

When ever I try to take a screen shot it says:
Screenshot.raw file not found
Any ideas what's wrong?

koush thx for the great apps. i installed your superuser app and it works great and i installed your screenshot app which works great for people having a hard time with screenshot app to get it to work after you set in the time to take it you have to go to the screen you wont a pick of before the time is up or you will get a pick of the android with blue background koush can you if it is possible to make a app that can edit the apk files so images can be replaced in the phone i have had no luck resigning the apk. files using the signapk tool

koush, any chance you would release the source ?

Sure. The C portion with the interesting bits is attached. It's pretty messy. I never bothered to clean it up after I got it working (lot of trial and error).
I've gotta optimize the pixel format conversion loop sometime. It's unnecessarily slow right now.

You have root, and no password protection on your su right? I would recommend installing Modified RC 30 v1.2 and Superuser.
Can you verify that the following file exists:
/system/bin/screenshot
Also, try running it. That is the native executable I wrote that scrapes the screen and writes screenshot.raw.

Issue on One Click Root on my Captivate

Hi folks,
I rooted my Captivate using the One Click Root Guide from this site. When I click on SuperUser permission, I just see a black screen and a message saying "No apps in list".
Did I miss any step?
Here is a picture after I clicked on SuperUser permission icon.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Well, have any apps requested SuperUser permissions yet? The only apps that will be listed there are ones that you have granted SU permissions to.
Try running ROM Manager, approve SU permissions, then go back and it should be listed...
Oh, sorry, I'm a first time user.
What I really want to achieve is wireless tethering. I also want to do ssh. What should I do next? How do I install them?
What does ROM Manager do? I looked at my Apps and I couldn't find ROM Manager.
Thanks.
Rom manager is downloaded from them market. You can install roms directly from your phone with it. you need super user permission because when you flash clock work recovery in rom manager you will be prompted for super user permission to do so.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Ok. I looked for ROM Manager in Market and saw it. It was $4.99. Not bad at all.
I've got few more questions:
1. What do I need to be able to do free wireless tethering?
2. What applications do I need to download?
3. Do I need to change my phone's kernel to be able to do that?
4. Do I need to ROM Manager for this?
5. Where can I find a good HOWTO after phone has been rooted?
Thanks!
Oh, how do I know if the installation of SuperUser Permission was successful? It's because when I clicked the Log icon on top, it crashed.

Thanks for helping me. I wish the moderator can move my thread soon since I'm so embarrassed to post on the wrong subforum.
I've done some searching/reading in our forum and found that there are many ROMS to choose from. I am more confused now. hehehe. There are tons of different threads as well which confuses the new android users more including me.
By the way, I got the free ROM Manager installed. Which sub forum should I post the questions I posted earlier? I want to try free tethering this evening and other cool tricks.

Awesome camera man.
all the SU app will do is let other apps access restricted parts of your phone.
if you have ?s post them in Q&A
id suggest reading general and reading some of what is going on in the rom threads.
some are very noob friendly, some arent.

Very Sorry! I have pushed them as far right as possible let me know if that works better. Sorry for the Ads just trying to pay for the hosting for the kitchen.
Works now when viewing the full site, still not the mobile but that isn't a big deal. I understand the need for the ads though! What better way to get clicks than to cover up the submit button
now though it is giving me an error "content error - the requested file is too large for conversion in the gateway/proxy". Sorry for causing all this trouble! Is there anything i can do to help?
Just want to say thanks for all of your hard work new to the ROM thing here , love Serendipity makes my phone run 1000% better than before!
Now to find the equivalent of Serendipity for my wife's xperia x10a
BTW funds are low right now but I plan on making a donation soon
Just updated to 5.10 and tried out the Add-on Kitchen for the first time. Very impressed and thanks for streamlining! No problems to report at this time.
So I've been working hard to change the look of my phone. I came across this post under the i9000 themes forum for VA Green:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11129613&postcount=811
After some tinkering I got this nice epic unlock. But the Orb and Glass unlock kept the month and date. So can anyone help me with remove that? I don't know how to edit xml, but I'm willing to learn.

The layouts for the lockscreens are in the framework-res.apk so decompile that and then try removing the <textview> that correspond to the date and time.

Nice work Chance. This was great to build a mod update pack.
Running rgb v4 kernel and serendipity 5.10. The update packages compiled thru ur site aren't updating the mods I select. Haven't tried an app but the batt mod, clear not, animations do not change
Edit: 2.6.32.9 build on the kernel
Nice work Chance x4. U 2 are what make this rom so good.

Amazing. Its so smooth and responsive. Definitely my new default launcher from here on out.

nice, thanks, will try this in some mins
EDIT: got the compatibility error too :/ device is not supported >.>
probably it could work when i rename the device name to desire hd or something...
On TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 same, compatibility error.
I wonder why it only works on some rom, maybe a some registry entry fix this problem. I'll try to change device id and feedback soon
I found a solution for those who has compatibility error. Tested on my typhoon CM7 and it works
Use your root explorer
/system/bulid.prop now tab, hold and open in text editor. Find and edit the device name on htc_desire(for example). Save and exit, reebot and done!. The error appears again, but the SPB will start and so far works great.
i'm Using MIUI Android system... After installed, using the homeswitch launcher to select SPB Shell 5.0 Beta!
It works perfectly!!! This is real cool.... Thanks bro for sharing this... great apps!
can someone with MS working tell me what "Model Number" your device has?
probably guys with the compatibility error can change that to get it working?^^
hey bro, actually i realized that you got an extra panel called "Social"? What is that for? And i didnt see it in my SPB Shell 5.0? Is it possible to teach me how to add in new panel or something?
Is there no way i can import my home screen from my current set up, i don't wanna have to spend time creating folders and organising my apps all over again.

I've got a version of SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 Beta which i'm currently using with the TyphooN CM7 rom with no compatability error!!! . I've also changed the ugly slider thing to a more simplistic slider with a transparent background and transparrent glass ball to indicate the screen you're on.

[APP] ConnectBot for Honeycomb

Posted this on my Twitter (@ruqqq) yesterday. Not sure how many people use ConnectBot (like I do). But anyway, I took a whole day to learn Fragment API and decided to use ConnectBot as my "test subject". Below is the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Code:
[B]Features:[/B]
- Standard ConnectBot features
- ActionBar UI
- Fragments UI
[B]Known bug:[/B]
- While a console is open, if you click the EditText on bottom right, the console will lose focus. When that happens, click the list item of the current console to regain focus.
YOU NEED TO UNINSTALL THE CURRENT CONNECTBOT ON YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT SIGNATURES
GitHub Link: https://github.com/ruqqq/connectbot
APK Link: REUPLOADED
I won't continue developing this and I hope somebody out there would improve the code. I've also mention ConnectBot lead developer in my tweet in hope he see this link and would merge my changes.
I get a force close when I 'sudo tail'
sudo tail?
EDIT: Reuploaded with major bugfix thanks to @mattyboy247 report
Attempting to 'sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log'
FC's at 'sudo tail'
you meant you ran the command on your server? anyway.. try the reuploaded apk.
With the first APK uploaded, after a connection to the server, I would attempt to view its apache2 error log. imediately after typing 'sudo tail ' it would FC.
The re uploaded one seems to be working now. Thanks for this.
I'll fork your Git for future reference to the code, that way I am not depending on you to see why I'm having problems, and can attempt to correct them
sure. please do. i'm only porting the UI for my use and for learning fragment api. i don't intend to further develop or maintain this.
Love the app,
but is there anyway to disable volume control for the control the text size?
is there a way to hide the host list?
What does this do if I may ask?
much apreaciated man, it works wonderfull on my gtab 10.1v.

yeah what does it do? Oo
same thing as connectbot, SSH terminal connections but with a modified UI for honeycomb tablets.
Did you send a pull request on github? Best way to get him to merge things. I know for a fact he watches those.
I have a fork with modification to use Search key on a Transformer for ESC. So I'll learn how to use the pull request function with you.
Great app idea! I love it. One problem though - didn't install for me. Running rooted stock HC 3.1 on Asus Transformer. I do have the original Connectbot installed, would that have anything to do with it?

D'OH! my bad - thanks for the heads up.
hey arctu, thanks for this, i use connectbot almost every day!
Hello there,
can anybody upload apk somewhere and make a mirror? OP's link doesn't work for me ATM.
TIA
Hi arctu
I just wonder why you used the base ConnectBot.
I prefer the already modified version, Irssi ConnectBot, which sports a bunch of features such as the long touch menu, symbols, device and language specific fixes, etc.
I used to use ConnectBot for local terminal emulating, but then I discovered that one modified for irssi and now I can't do a lot of things on my X10i without it.
I hope you will start to modify Irssi ConnectBot as well.

Everyone loves to be negative about the idea of paying $20 for the semi root process but it's people like this that make it worth it.

Keep up the good work!
Has anyone had any problems while changing permissions? I keep getting "Changing permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes."
Thanks
I'm definitely a lurker and don't post when I have nothing of value to add but I wanted to say thank you for your work. I'm running your build now and so far it's great.
I would like to see moaab ad blocking host files built in and couldn't you also build I'm the xposed jar file? I got it working with some effort but it did fight me a bit. Ending up having to clear the cache once I got it working to get it 100%.
Still though you should consider putting up a donation page. I don't have much money at all at the moment but would consider donating what I could.
Thanks!
Would you ever be able to do a version with secure settings installed?
I'm looking for information on getting busybox working on my phone. I have flashed a rooted image, installed ES File explorer as directed and intalled the xposed installer app, changed permissions and nothing has completed as stated.
One set of instructions explains how to setup a flash to get it working, but where and how exactly do I flash it and another set says to flash their img too. Thanks folks
Anyone have a camera crash while using HDR?
Google cam and stock crash if HDR is enabled.

Seems to be ok, I have the xposed module active too. Haven't setup anything with it but it has root access.

Sweet! Under the options tab, how many of the features are active? Is Pattern Lock under root actions checked?

It wasn't checked by default but I was able to check it.

Go to the link below it will give you a link to the video that shows how to obtain the flashing software, and how to flash the img.
https://mofo.disekt.org/
Instructions?
Do I need to pay for MofoRoot and gain root access successfully before I can flash this image? If not, how to I flash the image?
Thanks in advance.

I am also getting crashes in both of these apps.
I am using a different image (the first one to get xposed working), and I never used the device before rooting it so I can't say for sure what is going on. Annoying because cyanogenmod made the maxx camera about useless, so I was excited to have good hdr again on the turbo .
Any ideas as to why I only get half root? I can use SU in terminal emulator as well as achieve root in a few apps, but others like titanium backup, adaway, busybox just plain say the phone isn't rooted.
