Screenshot application?

Does anybody have in mind any nice application for taking screenshots?
I am not rooted but in case of a good app I would go rooted..

ive been using PicMe. Its pretty awesome and free but requires root
I believe any half decent screenshot app requires root

Drocap2 is an easy yest crisp screen pic taker.. must be rooted

I like ShootMe (requires root).

i use DroCap from ADC2 (Android's Developers' Challenge).
does NOT require root on my hero running cupcake!!! =D

Can't find it through the market, is there any link available please?

it was available before the ADC2 closed. i had to install the ADC2 app to try DroCap. i'm attaching the .apk here. have fun!
remember this app only runs on android 1.5 (cupcake). it exploits a root hack that has been patched since 1.6 (or so i heard). the developer has since released drocap2 in the market which requires rooting of the phone.

It works perfect!!
Thanks a lot
I hope that it will be possible to make screenshots without rooting after HTC releases Android 2.0.

might be a security feature, as apps could take screenshots and thereby steal your data without you knowing it.

Ehm, have you seen my thread with "Droid Explorer" in this Forum?
It could be at second page now.
With this Windows Tool, you could do screenshots and many many more without rooting.

Be aware, this APP kills your connectivity to HTC Sync

What do you mean? Permanent? I use HTC Sync rarely..

OK, could be. Droid Explorer uses another driver for Hero.
I don't know really, because I don't use HTC Sync.

Yes, permanent I'm using HTC Sync to sync my contacts very often. Unfortunately Droid Explorer is using another driver, so I had to uninstall it and then reinstall HTC Sync. BTW the only thinng that worked in Droid Explorer was screen shot app.

This doesn't sound tempting..
I need an app that takes screenshots without usb cables etc. An autonomous one..

get rooted and use shootme. makes a screenshot when you shake your phone (with the app running in background of course) and stores it to the sdcard.
also there is picme, which starts a webserver on your phone, enabling you to make screenshots by refreshing your browser page.

i tried both apps suggested in this thread on my rooted fresh .7 ROM on CDMA hero
drocap2
says it works good with superuser whitelist ..and if u dont u have to make changes
SHootMe goes to SU request and just gets stuck there .. and then forceCloses

New to rooting....got a few questions before I try.

I searched and did not find anything...sorry if i missed something...
Alright so I am looking at rooting and only thing that worries me is if i have to send the phone in. How can i make it look like I did not root it. Is there any downside to rooting and what can I do with a rooted phone. Thanks everyone

It's really simple to make it go back to stock, just use the Sprint RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434
Downside to rooting might be if you don't have a permissions manager installed you could give root access to malicious program. Haven't heard of it happening yet, but it can.
As for what can be done with a rooted phone, the possibilities are endless...

once you root and flash a recovery rom your all set to go...also do a backup in case. there are a couple really good roms out there, i recommend fresh 1.1 and gumbo kernel. there are some really great themes out there as well. as the above poster said the possibilities are endless and in time we will have as many new roms and themes as the gsm users have.
most important, have fun!

Where can I get the ROMs? I can't seem to find them....and with my luck they are in some place obvious.

There is a sticky at the top of these forums which gives a nice link.
To make it easy, it takes you here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs

there is a sticky at the top of the forum that has all of the ROMs in a Wiki site. look there

haha just like I thought...It was in plain sight. Well after trying a couple of ROMs i fell with Fresh....but i've noticed that my clock does not display the weather anymore...whats up with that?

Go into menu, weather, update and then give it a min. If it still doesnt refresh, put your phone in stand by and come back.

Nothing. The weather widget has no problems and syncs just fine and shows the correct weather but the clock refuses to. I think everything is set correctly yet it does not want to show.

Did you try soft resetting your phone or even removing the widget and adding it back to the homescreen?

both. Neither worked oddly. I dont know...ill mess with the GPS and wifi settings also and see if that fixes it. that isnt the biggest problem ever. If you have any idea on whats wrong though let me know.

I have rooted my phone and I am an addict. I am here everyday for about an hour. You will have fun with it. I recommend that before once you root it and get your first rom installed play with it for a while but dont get comfortable. I have used all the roms available for the hero except one of them. My advice to you is install one play with it them switch and use them all before you start installing all of your apps and customizing it. I have put three hours into customizing my phone with a rom and then Im like ooh a and install another rom and I have to start over LOL. You will have fun if you like to tinker I guarantee it. Have fun and good luck.

While I am thinking about it....can I make my lock screen any more useful. I find this so plain

sorry for the double post but I wanted this to bump up. Clock will not show the weather anymore...anyone have a fix? also any way to put something on the lock screen?

focus s dev unlock

hey everyone i just got a samsung focus s yesterday and i was wondering would i go about dev unlocking the same way as the regular focus? i had the original focus and had it dev unlocked to side load apps and all that, but that was even before the no-do update.. just curious, do you unlock it the same way? any info would be awesome thanks everyone!

The right way would be through Chevron WP7 labs, costs $9. Then, you can deploy XAPs, interop unlock, etc.

i did all that and bought the token and it says its unlocked, how can i tell? isnt there a number i can dial to check to see if it is dev unlocked?

I don't believe there is a way to verify it other than than to try and sideload an app. Gotta have faith.

I Chevron-unlocked & interop-unlocked my Focus S yesterday, and sideloaded Advanced Configuration Tools, but I can't seem to get anything to work. Advanced Configuration Tools installs and runs just fine, but everytime I try to change theme colors (all I tried to do so far), I get a message that it "can't apply changes"!
There must be something different with this phone as opposed to the original Focus (which I was able to do these kinds of things without any problem at all) - i.e., different drivers, another layer of security, etc. Whatever it is, I'm anxious for someone to crack it, as all I really want to do is change my theme colors - the original ones get REALLY boring after a while!

I haven't been able to get any xap that changes registry settings to work. Must be a problem with second gen phones.

Skygo or 3 dot menu?

I will be receiving my new device today and I am having a bit of a dilemma. For the first time, I am considering running my device stock un-rooted as I really like to have the skygo app which will only function on an un-rooted device. The problem is, I know the 3 dot menu will really do my head in.
I am coming from the hox + were this menu can be disabled without root so, firstly, could somebody tell me how prevailent this is at present? Are there still a lot of apps with this problem?
The ideal solution for me would be to have skygo working on a rooted device but I have searched and searched and have not been able to find a solution for this. Is there one?
Also, perhaps a noob question, is it possible to root the device, remove the 3 dot menu then un-root it and still have this modification on place?
Any observations and help would be grately appreciated.

This is also the main reason I rooted. There are still a LOT of apps with the 3 dot menu and it is unbelievably annoying to see that black bar so often. I don't know why htc didn't just leave the option to long press back for menu in the stock Rom.

Yes, the 3 dot menu is there for many apps. Yes, it is annoying. However, seeing as the screen is an decent size and I have always had the 3 dots since owning the phone, I am used to it now, it doesn't bug me all that much.
Also, I think there is a decent chance this will be fixed when htc send out an update.
Sky go just recently updated to include working on the HTC one, who knows how long it will last.... Which is why I would say to stick with Unrooted for now if you are a sky go user

Since you already have a HOX+, enable the on screen menu & check the apps you frequently use if they are updated & don't need the menu button anymore. This way you will know if it will bother you or not.

Root the stock rom on your device, disable 3 dot menu, remove the Superuser binaries, install SkyGo. Works a treat!

If someone would like to confirm this as working....
I'd be more than happy with such a solution.

Where I put "Works A Treat" it should read "Should work a treat". I haven't tested it on this device but I had a similar problem getting SkyGo to work on my Nexus 10. I had to root first, edit the build.prop to think it's a different device and then unroot. Worked perfectly.

Im keen to get SkyGo working as well so I will flash back to stock and test. Will report back in half hour or so.

I would appreciate that if you would. This would be the perfect solution for me. Unfortunately, I am not hopeful after reading about this on the net despite there not being a definitive answer.

Well it kind of worked. You no longer get the doesnt work on a rooted device message however you do get the Unsupported Device message. This is because SkyGo doesnt officially support the One yet. A news report I just read suggests that Sky are increasing there supported devices next week to include the One and the S4.
I would suggest waiting until SkyGo is updated next week and then try the above method.

Nope, sky go now does officially get support for htc one. I downloaded it yesterday, it mentions this phone in the most recent updates. And I tried it out for a few seconds, streamed countdown fine.
Just to confirm I am on an Unrooted htc one.

Yes Sky Go now supports the One.

[Q] Front screen task buttons

Ok guys and gals. Had my htc one for a few days now. Unlocked the bootloader today, installed twrp custom recovery so far and running stock.rom at the moment. Now the question i have is:
Like on my HTC Evo 3d you could replace the task buttons on the bottom of the screen up from the soft keys. Im not seeing how to do that now.
Any one have a clue about how to go about this? I removed a few apps and disabled a few for example the stock internet browser. And it took the task icon off the bar but i cant seem to replace it with anything. I am adding a attached screen shot pic for a better idea
I do appoligize if this has already been asked before. I have been the past while trying to make sure it hasnt been
