Screen snapshot?

Whats up guys? I had an iPhone and it was pretty simple to capture a screen image (home+lock button)... I intitially figured there was no way to do this right out of the box but When I was in my gallery one day I noticed a screen snapshot! Does anyone know how to do this w/o a cab file.

Don`t know of a way without 3rd party software but BsB Tweaks will do it and this:-

i think i mispelled it, the software mightve been called quickdesk but i uninstalled it after a few days as i found it caused my phone to lag and reboot. I normally just use widget locker if i really need media controls and ive found it to be a semi usable solution.

I would love it but u can onli have a status switch till now

[APP] OnLive Helper

OnLive is on the Android Market!
AND IT SUPPORTS XPERIA PLAY CONTROLS!
I WILL NO LONGER DEVELOP FOR THE APP
...
But it does not support Xperia Play game pad. So until support is added I've made an app...
OnLive Helper
LATEST
Added option to toggle between between an alternate profile.
Added option to donate and remove ads.
Added alternate key functionality.
Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.OnLiveHelper
Price:
Free with ads in the configuration menu.
Description:
This app will technically work with any phone! Visit the official thread to discuss!
This application will enable Xperia Play users to use the game pad to play games using the OnLive Service.
Currently only "LEGO Batman" and "Dirt 3" are included.
You can create your own custom profiles or use community created ones. Please visit the official thread on XDA for more information.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382899
Usage:
1. No Root Is Required.
2. To enable this app, you must change the Input Method Service to "OnLive Helper"
3. You can have the input method screen automatically come up when you open or close your keyboard by checking "Auto Prompt" in the options.
Custom Mode
You can now create custom profiles.
All phones should be supported (not just Xperia Play)
You create them by using Android KeyCodes: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
To create a custom profile:
1. Create a txt file, name it anything (it does NOT need the .txt extension).
2. In line 1 type the keycodes you want to press.
3. In line 2 type the keycodes you want it to do. If you map a key to -1 then it will go to the third line to translate key presses until you release it. If you map a key to -2 then it will go to the fourth line to translate until you push it again.
4. In line 3 type alternate key codes.
5. In line 4 type the key codes that the app will toggle to.
5. Save that file to /sdcard/Android/data/com.hatcyl.android.OnLiveHelper/files
6. That "profile" will now appear in the settings.
Notes:
I've attached a sample file (Lego Batman) and a "Template" file for the noobs.
If you create a profile, share it here!
Some buttons like ESCAPE, MOUSE BUTTONS, etc. are not supported. They were not added into Android until a later version. I will see if there is anything we can do (at least for root users) if anyone knows please share!
Coming Later Maybe, No Promises
Mouse Support + More Keys Support (Maybe just for ROOT users)
Maybe a way to emulate the OnLive Controller instead of keyboard.
Support for touch pads.
An option for multiple profiles in one (i.e. press a button to change button mapping quickly) - DONE
An option for an "Alt" key, so if you press two buttons at once it does something else. - DONE
Something about international keyboards, if I can figure out what ps3taker is talking about.
A way to create custom profiles from within the app.
Some kind of In App purchase for some reason. - DONE

Waw this looks promising, I will try this in a few minutes!
One suggestion I have is could you make a list of all the xperia plays buttons and let users assign any keyboard button to that xperia button.
For example on the list of keys would be the X button, I then click on the xbutton and get a whole list of keyboard keys to choose from which I can assign to the X button.
I know thats a bit of a confusing explanation but I think you know what I mean.
EDIT: Your app works great, I dont know why something like this hasn't been made before. an app like this could also be used to make the xperia play work with flash games too.

Heck yes! This will do until it's official. Analog sticks would be amazing, but I noticed that your program syncs the buttons to keyboard strokes, like wsad on the dpad, nice idea!

Cool I really hope you can make it happen.
I think custom mode should be top priority because then users can play any games without having to wait for you to add profiles, Also another good idea could be for users to make thier own custom profiles, but this app is still in its early stages so maybe im thinking too far ahead haha.
Oh and I clicked on an ad to support you

can someone explain how to make this work i start up batman but nothing happening when i press the buttons

yeah hes made it on a custom rom his keyboard settings are diff it dont work for me either looks like a rush job to beat the rest off but cool when he gets his working. someone found another way here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20119438#post20119438

You need to set onlive helper as your default android keyboard, enable it in the settings then go into the text app or something and change it to your default input method.

yeah cheers that worked the text message thing, hold down on the message and select input. But he needs to make another setting menu in with the onlive helper method tick box like the sixaxis app and wiimotes. and also let people know on the discription.

This is awesome man ;D
Thank you very much hatcyl.

Don't know if will help but someone tried making an app that used the touch pads as trackball to control a mouse on internet browser its on a page in here somewhere. I also tried another game without touch pad support on onlive and the mouse was emulated on the touch screen. or paul that made mupen64 plus has touch pad control values and codes on his site and recons they can be added to most emus why not this, i understand they would only work as digital button presses as you are only mapping to the keyboard but would free up extra buttons for others. Hope this helps.

I dont think you can use the touch pads with this method, maybe with some sort of complex root app you could but this is essentially a virtual keyboard so I think getting mouse support is not possible.

i know it would not be analogue but he could use the touch pads as the d pad just like the sixaxis app uses sticks and sonys ps ports app type 4 setting to map the d-pad on a keyboard, then the other buttons would be free for others. Also why would you need root apps like mupen64plus use the touchpads it is not a virtual keyboard he is mapping to its a hardware keyboard if you notice square and trangle are really say x and y on a qwerty keyboard hes just changing them to say a and b. so why could he not fool the touchpad into thinking it was a trackball or mouse. I maybe wrong but was an idea.

Any hidden call recorder

I was wondering is there any Call recorder..That would not leave any icon and could record all calls (made/received) ?
without letting the user know

Ooh sneaky sneaky. There are a handful of apps that record from the microphone that fit your description. Try them out and see.

Call Recorder PRO.

It's pretty simple to take a working thing you want and make it like this. A project would be the app in its entirety...something like this is just a tweak.
Look into other apps that hide icons and such for examples.

Yes. Hell you dont even need an app to hide applications in the drawer with this phone.
Open app drawer > menu > Hide Applications

Does Samsung Galaxy Note (gingerbread) default launcher have this option?

hiding works great. but it will still show up in play store or worse case as an update notification.

Well you can avoid that by unattaching it from the market. I know apps like Titanium can do this.

Some roms have this functionality built into them.

no, has to be rooted

For those who are rooted and have unlocked the bootloader, I know when I was running SynergyRom R73 nightly, there was a button in the upper right when I was in a call that allowed me to record. I believe the button was labelled "Record" and then it would get saved to the Samsung stock ROM voice recording app for the audio recordings. I'm on Liquidsmooth right now and am missing that feature dearly. Made me feel like a superspy or something :laugh:

There is a hidden recorder of calls https://blog.ikeymonitor.com/call-recorder.html but why do you want it to be hidden? do you want to spy on someone?

I would recommend MobileRecorder24 (see MobileRecorder24.com). It does exactly what you want - records all calls, sms and audio surrondings in stealth regime and stores them online. Also it can hide its icon.

Home key programmable?

I got google app (whatever that is) disabled so that fixes the problem of google starting when I hold down the home key. Is there any way to program it to something else? Now it does nothing for a long press. That's still better than bringing up google-anything but I would like to be able to assign some function to the key.
