[Q] Is there an easy way to do screen shot capture in 2.1?

While playing movies, for example, I want to capture the screen as a still picture. Same goes for a piece of info that I see on the webpage, etc.
In the iPhone environment,users could just press the power and home button simultaneously to capture it as a photo.
Is there anything like that on Android?

I only know one way and that requires root , then download app from market "Shootme"

Thanks for the info. Do you then assign a hardware button to do the capture? No problem capturing a movie while it is playing?

"Shootme" works by shacking phone left and right , i did not try capturing a movie but it should work it captures everything else on screen, there are more apps in market capable capturing screenshots , they all need root to best of my knowledge.

Shaking is a good way, as long as the orientation is not upset by it I guess.
Having go root the phone is a pity. Does anyone know of a non-root solution?

I dont have root either and i looked for screenshoot app as well, but i wasnt able to find any..
-TB-

It's due to Android's security settings that root is required to take screenshots.
No other way around it for now.

Read this thread, in the first post there is a link on how to take screenshots through the android SDK:
The screenshot thread

Wow, does it have to be this complicated just to capture screen?

Just wait for 2.2 if you don't want to root, since it will allow you to take a screenshot with .. I think it was the back-button and home-button.

[Q] Something like LG On-screen phone for Xperias?

Is there some software that mimics the LGOP and works with Sony phones? That program and its functionalities is one of the things I miss having on Xperia.

aa

What? Bootanimation porting? What are you talking about?
I ask for a program that allows control of the phone from PC desktop and displays the contents of the display on my PC monitor.

Thank you, I'll give it a try. One question: does it work through USB connection?

[APP] [ROOT REQUIRED] Chromecast mirroring (screencasting) works!

The Chromecast only allows certain devices to use it's new mirroring functions. The OPO is apparently not on that list. But, thanks to this handy app, the Chromecast will now recognize my OPO and allow for full mirroring!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
- Install the app and open it.
- Enable "Mirror Status:" and enable "QuickSettings Mirror:"
- Either open the chromecast app, and find mirroring in the left panel, or
- Pull down into your quick settings and see the icon for "cast screen"
There is a small bit of lag, which would mean some games that require split second timing would be hard to play on the big screen, but others work fine, like FIFA 14 for example. Any video site (that doesn't already support Chromecast) will work perfectly as well.

i try this but there is no audio out from my oneplus one only from youtube

Will this make my chromecast work as miracast that allow screen mirroring?

Allcast screens to TV or just PC. We are talking about screen mirroring and not Allcasts normal feature right?

A little easier way (for some)
Thanks for one of the popular and working solutions.. I was just about to apply that and I just wondered what happens if I try "Cast Screen" option in my One with my Samsung Smart TV, and I got it working with little efforts! Here's the thread I posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/howto-oneplus-one-cast-screen-smart-tv-t2938752
Might be helpful for somebody who wants to go an easy way if possible.
Enjoy casting..!

I found a little write up that makes it a lot easier and more stable. First download root explorer go to system folder then build prop. Find
ro.product.device=A0001 and change A0001 to hammerhead and save changes. Now go to settings / display and under cast screen option your chrome cast will now appear then click on it. Now once WiFi on and you pull down quick settings you will see cast option appear.

the only problem is that the screen flickers a bit when you pull down the notifications.

That happened to me once when I was kind of away from the TV or when I thoroughly covered back of my phone. So I assume that would be because of weak Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Also, I noticed increase in delays and some jitter in video. So this surely seems like connectivity issue.
May be trying without a case or with WiFi antena area open/unblocked should reflect the improvement.

cracked apk w/ Android Auto update

hello
i already enabled unknown sources with developer options
need help pls

I don’t know what your ‘cracked’ apk is supposed to do, if AA is not available in your region, you can download the app from Apkmirror or one of the other sites.

I've loaded AA again, I can use all the apps. Loading Spotify gave a 'no internet' error. I disabled 'add wireless projections to settings' in developer options and now it works.
Other thought is you could clear AA cache & data and set it up again.
