Can't notice any difference to be honest Maybe a tiny tiny bit

Obviously since the flash player download only shows up for 2.2 only.
Double tapping a video always full screens it for me.....

I guess that is only if you don't have it installed. I installed Flash then changed my build file and the update came up fine.
For me, a real test of Flash is to use Dolphin Browser HD and set my UA to Desktop and then hit www.disney.com.
I used to work for them supporting the site and it's one of the more intensive flash sites out there. What I love is that after the update, it works smooth as silk. EVERY imbedded video plays flawlessly and smooth (over 3G) and can navigate the site without issue.
Way to go!

That stopped working for me before the update, I was hoping this update would fix it; no go, but long press works fine so no big deal.
Can someone help me? I've had flash install since I updated to 2.2 and now when I go to the market can not find the flash player. I also tried adobe site and follow the link then I get "requested item not found " anyone knows what's wrong or can help?? Unrooted.

The power button on my N1 has been giving me fits, and given the number of people I've read about with "dead" power buttons, I think mine is going out so I'm trying to preserve it as long as possible.
I enabled trackball wake (using CM6) which takes care of 1/2 the equation, but I need a good lockscreen app (just something to make the phone go to sleep). I found one in the market called Lock Screen Enabler, but it's not a "true" lockscreen app and it's very buggy, causing all sorts of problems for me.
I've been a web developer for 8 years and recently got into Android development (which I hope to be doing full-time soon), so I thought I'd just code a quick app for personal use in 5 minutes.
The problem, however, is that the DEVICE_POWER permission is needed in order to call goToSleep() and from what I've read so far from other online posts, this permission is only granted to native system applications.
Since my phone is rooted, I even tried granting my application SU privileges, but that doesnt seem to work either.
So, my question boils down to how do I grant my application DEVICE_POWER permission? I figure if anyone out there knows the answer, it's going to be someone on XDA as this place is full of geniuses. Thanks in advance!!
UPDATE: I've attached the finished app. Made this for personal use but if anyone wants to use it they are welcome to. My only gripe about it right now is the "screen flicker" that happens when you launch it because it's trying to launch an app that immediately locks the screen and finishes itself. If I can figure out how to get the app to launch in a smaller window maybe I can minimize the size to reduce the screen flicker. But for now, this works and I can set it to launch when I click the clock on Fancy Widget, so I'm happy. Thanks again to everyone who offered answers to my questions. Just another reason why I love the Android development community!!

It seems that you'll need to add the application as a device administrator. There seems to be some decent information half way down this page under Device policy manager: Link.
I'd be interested in using this application as I can't change the icon of my previously mentioned widget.
Edit: More information here as well: Link.

I will probably still go ahead and create one. I like how with FancyWidget you can set it so clicking the clock will launch an app. Unfortunately it doesn't work with widgets, so I need an extra icon on my home screen just to lock it. If you have an icon you'd like me to use, feel free to share and I'll put it in
And thx for the info!!
I would be happy with any icon to be honest, I just don't like the lock screen widget one Good luck bud

Alright, I got it working, but there's one problem. It can't be uninstalled because it's currently a device admin. Same goes for that Lock Screen Widget I installed earlier.
Looking into a way to be able to uninstall, if one even exists....

You need to go to Security & Location - Device Administrators and disable both there.

Good call. Thx. However, I also came up with a work-around for ppl who are just as lazy as myself. There are 2 icons in the launcher. The first will lock the screen (once you enable the app as a device admin). The second will disable the app as a device admin, allowing you to uninstall at your will.
I really intended for this app to be for personal use, but if anyone wants it I'll put it up here for you to download. If you'd rather I remove the second launcher icon and just let you to disable it through Security settings, I will also do this (as really, I don't plan on uninstalling any time soon so this is fine for myself).
Thanks to everyone who helped out!!!

Application is in the OP. Have at it
Great, works perfect on MIUI 0.9.30
Does the job perfectly! I especially like how it runs as an app so I can change the icon
You're a lifesaver, or should I say power button saver
Thanks so much.
I tried to develop something similar before but got stuck. Saved me some time!
Thanks for creating such useful app for my N1. My power bt is fine, but I would like to preserve it to powering up/down the phone.
BTW, I also downloaded Lock Screen Widget to test it out. Is it possible that you can make your app to shut off the screen smoother, like LSW? I like it you set it up as an app, which is super useful for me set up as a gesture swipe on my LauncherPro dock icons.
Thanks again and keep up your good work!
Thanks again, your app is really great. But could you add a option to map it to the search button (long press) please?
Thank you!

Oddly enough the only option I have there is notify about app updates. Oh well, bug spray. :-L
Returning it anyways, going to wait a while longer till they can finish out 3.0 and make it stable like 2.2 and 2.3 are. And sorry motorola, even rooting my xoom doesnt make it okay that you didnt include SD card kernel.
Shame shame, Wont buy an Ipad :<X but will wait a 6 months or so for a tablet android device, price comes down and stability.

FAQ
No Capture Method is available for my device!
This is normal if your device isn't rooted. It's the way how the Android security model works, it just doesn't allow taking a screenshot. However, you can enable screenshot functionality on your device by enabling it through a computer (this is a small flaw in Android which can be used for this). It's really simple, you will need to download a file on your computer, connect your device and run the file to enable screenshot functionality. To see how you can do this go to Screenshot Ultimate > Settings > Capture methods > No capture method help. You can email the manual to yourself so you can complete it on your computer (Windows, Linux or OSX).
I don't understand how to...
Just post your question (or comment) here and I'll try to respond asap (or someone else will).
Feedback
All feedback is welcome, so please let me know what you think of the app! Since the app is released on Play you can, if you want, post about it wherever you like!
- Let me know what device and Android version you use and what capture methods are available on your device.
- People with a camera hardware button and/or a search hardware button, could you please try the trigger methods for these buttons and let me know whether it works ok?

That's weird, what device do you have? And what Android version?
And could you maybe post the distorted screenshot? And did you have root?
If you had root some screenshot method should work.
Other people who tried have a different experience?

My apologies, I just saw you meant your signature is up to date.But could you maybe send the distorted screenshots? If you run the test you can go to /mnt/sdcard/screenshotultimate/auto/ where the test screenshots per method are located.
And shadowch31, could you try whether this app also gives distorted screenshots?
com.androidscreenshotapptool.free
Did anyone else have the distorted screenshots? Because I can't reproduce it on my devices.
No more people who use it and have feedback? I would really appreciate it

Just tested your app on my rooted N7000 running ICS 4.0.4. I tried 5 trigger methods: overlay icon, shake, service icon click, audio, power connects and everything works fine , but it always captures Superuser notification so I have to disable notification in Superuser.

You can solve that in two ways.
- As you mention yourself, disable superuser notification
- OR, you can change the capture method. First, you can run the auto detect method for detecting the available capture methods and see which ones have the superuser notification on top.
But if you take one screenshot with "Root 3" after that you can pick "No Root 3" and no superuser is required. Root 3 start a small temporary service running with root permissions which can take screenshots.
Let me know whether that works.
Did other people try it as well? Feedback is really welcome!
We just updated Screenshot Ultimate with a faster screenshot method so less distortions. We also fixed a lot of bugs and released it on Play!
Download the free version here:
Screenshot Ultimate
Or the paid version here:
Screenshot Ultimate Pro

Downloading the free version. 4$ seems to much for just taking screenshots...
Will give a review in the evening...

The reason I decided on doing this small promotion is to get some more feedback So if you want you can buy the pro version and get the full price refunded to your account.
About the app though, does it work on your phone? And what do you think of it? I'm looking forward to reading your review

Well, that should not happen, I thought the app was designed to be used intuitive. Could you explain a bit more on what you are confused about?
Here some explanations:
- When you take a screenshot it will get saved default to /mnt/sdcard/screenshotultimate/ (can be changed on settings page) and a window will show where you can edit, share or preview the taken screenshot.
- When you open the app you can press the menu button on the start screen (or go to settings > trigger methods) to enable/disable trigger methods. A trigger method will give you the possibility to take a screenshot on different triggers.
Let me know what's unclear so I can try to help you or maybe make the app easier to use (that's what feedback is for).
So does anyone else use the app or has an opinion on it? The more feedback I get the easier I can make the app Thanks!
Sounds like a good app, I'll download and have a play later tonight

Hi, Im using Android (Note 2) and looking for an app called Screendimmer from IOS. Here is the youtube about how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB4VWhZtU5c
I use this for whatsapp. While Im chatting and waiting for a reply, the phone usually turn off and I have to press the power button to wake it up. My friend who is using Iphone showed me that he installed Screendimmer on Cydia and solved all the problems above.
I tried to use "tasker" together with "screen filter" but I failed to do that. So is there any app in Android that has the same function like ScreenDimmer?
Any helps.
Thanks

Yes I also tried that app but it is not what I need. The main reason that I am finding this app is that I dont need to press the power button everytimes I am waiting an message/whatsapp/viber/facebook. The screen will automatically dim (it does not like the screen time out that auto lock the screen after x seconds) and it will come light when I touch the screen. It can save battery (by dimming the screen at the lowest brightness...nearly black) and the power button also.
waiting for some developers who can build an app like this :victory:
P/S: I have an idea that we can use Tasker and Screen Filter, and set a loop with a condition that when a specific app is open (whatsapp for example), if in 10 seconds, there is no touch on screen (I left the phone there for 10seconds) it will activate Screen Filter (that set at the lowest brightness) to dim the screen (not lock it); then when the phone receives touch, Screen Filter will be disable. In that 10seconds, if there is touch occured, it will recount another 10seconds again. I am not a IT guy so I can not do it myself. Can anyone try this?
up waiting for any idea
It seems that there is no developer interested in this app
I have emailed to the developer of the IOS app but still received nothing.
