anyway to take a screenshot on stock gingerbread?

Hello guys is there anyway to take a screenshot on stock gingerbread.
If not, anyway to do so without rooting?
Real help is always appreciated

There is no way.

You need root for a screen shot. I thought i saw an app before that didn't need root, but i never found it again.

Get root, and let me know. I'll post the apk for screen grabber. I'm on mobile right now so...

There are screenshot apps that dont require root. However, you have to pay for it in the market, or you can just download the apk off of google.

can you recommend a few names? I'll download them right now

Screen Shot It for non-rooted phones is a good one. In the app, it tells you all the steps to set it up on your computer and phone. It's not free though.

If you have android sdk setup there is a program from within called Dalvik Debug Monitor. Go to the tools folder and open ddms with you phone attached to usb. this will open the program. You should see your device listed in the left pane. click on it to select, then go to device in menu bar and choose screen capture. There are also alot of other things you can do. hope this helps

I have shoot me, but I can't attach with the sg4g XDA application says invalid file type. Any ideas?

Xda doesnt upload png files. Somewhere in the app, it asks what image format you want. Change it to jpeg.

There are apps in the market that prevent memory use, freeze,applications, and uninstall junk apps. Always use caution when doing any of this though.

I've tried all them clean ram apps...they work until all the apps recollect themselves...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

If you're phone is rooted, download Titanium and just freeze the apps (also take caution when do that)
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

If you want to keep the apps available for use but don't want them running unless you open them download autostarts in the market. Its 99 cents but I've been using it for months and its worth it.

Look in the reference Bible, there's guides for everything. Rooting the galaxy s 4g is super easy though, since you can use superoneclick. There's a step by step guide in the Bible along with links for all the necessary downloads.
Reference Bible is in the development section.
Oh yeah, you will need a computer.

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.

Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

ok but still havent found way to root without comp
ok but i still dont know how to root without a computer. I wont be near a computer for a long long time man and if i do i wont have admin privs.
so i still need to know if there is an app or apps that will root the samsung infuse 2.2.1 froyo. Or at least someone compile one or modify one to allow for rooting. Or at least another way to change boot image or boot animation without rooting it.

No, you can not root an infuse without a computer..
Don't make me get the hose!

There's no known way of rooting without a pc.
You are asking for something that no one has been able to accomplish in almost 2 years the infuse has been out to the public.

On froyo its been possible to use gingerbreak, z4root, or univsalandroot

ok now another question
can i change the boot animation or boot logo without rooting.

What really allows changing your bootanimation is the kernel. you need root or a pc to flash a custom kernel..

Awesome, thank you. :victory:

Remember you will need to copy the wifi.conf file if you stay with the linked rom. Otherwise you will be pissed cause wifi is broke. I need to boot back into ubuntu and fix the one click. Lazy me is lazy tho.
