I am unable to get any screen capture apps to work. They supposedly take pictures, but they are always black screens. I have tried ScreenCapture and DroCap2 locally. I also tried picme which allows you to access your pictures from a browser. All gave me completely black screenshots. I have tried various screens with no success. I have viewed the image files on another computer to make sure they were really black. Any ideas?
Thanks.
I use DDMS, which is part of the Android SDK (the same set of tools that gives you ADB). If you can get ADB to work, then DDMS should work, as well.

What rom are you using? I couldn't get screen cap to work w/ Cyanogen b4 but it works w/ Vegan b3, this was through DDMS.

Good question - cyanogen might not work (I believe I had heard this, before). TnT Lite and VEGAn work, and I believe zPad does as well.

OK, thanks, I tried that and it worked. I guess I can uninstall all those screen capture apps since none of them seem to work.
Thanks.
Need some Andriod SDK help, please.
Curious how you got the DDMS to work from the Andriod SDK? Can you provide some direction, please?
I've got the SDK running through Eclipse. Not sure how I get the SDK to see my Gtablet. I have a AVD defined for my "gtab" but there's no where to setup the connection via USB or WiFi that I can see.
Sorry for the noob questions, my first time with the Andriod SDK.
Thanks for any direction you can give.

Did you do the stuff in here about setting up ADB?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
I guess you are on Windows? In Ubuntu 'it just works' odd I know. Now I had to go into the device manager and delete the drivers that windows assigned to the gtablet before making those mods to the inf file, there were 2 entries I had to delete but YMMV.
good luck

I would love to take a screen cap without using a PC. What is the reason cap apps don't work again?
-=Sent from my VS GTablet (VEGAn b4) using Tapatalk=-
Got the DDMS working under Android SDK following the instructions referenced above and on the Android Developer's website. Had to block windows 7 from auto updating drivers when I plugged my Gtablet to the USB cable. After installing the Android USB drivers, my Gtablet was found in the Eclipse Android SDK environment and I was able to get a screen shot of the Gtablet.

Alright, since my google search returned the whole 2 (two!) relevant results, and the search here around 10 irrelevant, I thought I'd drop this on the community, in hope for some help.
I've upgraded my 64bit OpenSuSE to 11.2 the other day, downloaded the Android SDK, set up the environment variables, and fired up the "android" script that is supposed to download and install a platform, so I could access my device through adb shell.
Here I ran into a problem: Half of the buttons I click in the SDK updater don't seem to work, it will not save the settings, it will not remember the URL I type in (had to use http), and when it reads the http repo, it will not download and install what I have cheked! What happens is, I click the button, it appears to stick down for a while, then pops back up as if I never clicked it, and nothing happens.
My first question is, has anybody tried this on SuSE 11.2? I have had no problems on 11.1, for instance.
Second, does this need any "special" Java configuration to work properly? I have tried both the openJava (now built-in into SuSE), and Sun Java latest (SDK and JRE). I don't think so, but asking just in case...
I'm pretty much stuck. If anyone has this working, or better yet, if anyone knows where I could download platforms outside of the updater, please be so kind and share. Thank you!
P.S. Oh, and the optional third question: Is there a way to trigger the download from console? That would probably help to figure out what goes wrong...
EDIT: Not Java problem, but updater problem. It does not show any of the SDKs, it shows only APIs, which can only be added if a valid SDK exists.
Can anyone confirm this?
It seems I need an external link to SDK 1.6 for Linux (for example). Can't anyone share?
Thanks!
Still stuck...
EDIT2: Solved it, my adb works again. But the updater app is crap I installed the APIs, then shut it down, rebooted, then ran it again. Also, for some reason the buttons wouldn't respond to clicks, but if I click and then push Enter key, it works. Took me a while to figure this one out.
Hey, I'm getting ready to install Android SKD on openSUSE 11.2 from scratch. Could you list your steps and/or suggestions based on how you got it working? Thanks.
How did it go?? Sry, just saw this...
Don't have time to do the steps.. actually, everything works just as the standard procedure suggests, with the exception of button clicks - as I said, each time I clicked a button, I had to press the Enter key (as if the click was just giving it focus, but not the actual command)
Feel free to PM me (or any other user), especially if the thread is a bit old, like this one.

Check out http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html. I am not sure about the Sprint Mogul though? Try lsusb and get the Vendor code ie. 0bb4.

Since the Mogul is an HTC device it should be 0bb4.
Manufacturer-USB Vendor ID
Acer-0502
HTC-0bb4
Huawei-12d1
LG-1004
Motorola-22b8
Samsung-04e8
Sony Ericsson-0fce

yea it is the issue really was something in centos and the kernel this time. I upgraded it to fedora core and it worked with the same adb bin.

I wrote up a post this afternoon on getting the SDK fully working on my blog...
I am using Ubuntu, but should be easy to translate to other distro's...

Hope this helps others out.
LG EVE adb access on ubuntu
I'm currently using an LG Eve(GW620R) and have had no luck getting adb to see the device on Ubuntu Karmic Koala. I used to have an HTC Magic, and adb would recognize the Magic without any issues whatsoever, but I cannot seem to get the Eve to play nicely. Adb is properly set up, since I had full access to my Magic when I had it. I've edited my rules file to add in support for LG devices, but it still won't pick it up. I've tried changing the rules file to 51-android.rules, and I've also tried 70-android.rules, but neither one seems to want to work. I've rebooted my system, reloaded udev, changed the rules file to read every kind of device, regardless of manufacturer, but I still have had zero luck. I thought that linux was supposed to require next to no effort to set up adb, but I've been trying for 3 days now, and I've still gotten no farther then when I started. If I run lsusb while the phone is plugged in normally, it sees it, but adb does not, if I put the phone into emergency mode or fastboot, it shows a different device ID, but even adding in those IDs to my rules file, I still get nowhere. Any suggestions?
still not working
alright, so I've tried editing the rules files in all kinds of ways, I've tried running adb as root, I've got debugging enabled on my phone, I've followed every instruction I've found to the t, and I still have had no luck getting this phone to connect to adb. Can anyone give me any advice, or at least point me in the right direction? I've read a bunch of stuff about different kernels having issues with different phones, but I can't see my kernel being the issue if I could get my HTC Magic to work just fine. I'm hitting brick walls at every turn, and I've had no luck getting it any further than two weeks ago now. I'm running 9.10, Karmic Koala, I've got the newest sdk (which I think might be the issue since the Eve runs 1.5, but doesn't the newest sdk include all the old drivers as well?), and I've tried changing the rules file to be a higher number then any other rules file in my /etc/udev. Any advice or information that anyone could provide would be incredibly helpful. I really want to get rid of all this Rogers crapware that I'm stuck with. I'm open to pretty well anything anyone can suggest, and I'm more than willing to provide any further information that anyone might want to try and help me work this out. Thanks in advance
Hey folks -
I am a proud new owner of a Xoom, and would love to unlock and root it! I have had a Droid X for a while now, and while it is rooted, rommed and the rest, I have not dealt with a bootloader before. All I had to do was use Z4root and go from there, simple. I used a friend's PC at school to learn how to SBF if needed, and that's as far as I've gotten with Android.
I could really use help with unlocking the Xoom. I am running Parallels on my Mac (Windows XP Home) and am unsure how to go about installing Android SDK. Motorola Drivers I think I am all set, I've run the program and it says I'm up to date. With Android SDK, however, I downloaded the zip and it says there are no files to extract. I run the installer program for Android SDK, and it says I need Java JDK. I download Java JDK, and yet Android SDK installer program still says I don't have it.
I would really appreciate where to go from here, and I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else, but I did look around for quite a while and I don't want to do anything prematurely and mess up a $600 device. Again, apologies for my nOObness.
Thanks!
Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I did exactly what you are talking about doing. Boot into your virtual machine and install all the sdk, moto drivers, and fastboot.
When connecting your xoom, enable USB debugging and make sure the usb device (when plugged in) is attached to your parallels machine only, it should give you an option when booting it up.
Everything works as normal, Parallels really has no drawbacks, just follow the root instructions as if you were doing it on a native machine.
I actually ended up just doing everything on my Mac natively, but thanks for the info! I think I was more confused on actually installing the SDK properly than anything else.
Has anyone figured out how to connect to their Note with ADB yet?
I turned on debugging but the darn thing still doesn't show up in the devices list.
For reference, I'm using the cable that came with the Note and I can transfer files successfully
Have you installed proper drivers or the Android SDK? If you get Android SDK for your pc, make sure open up the manager in there. Then download platform tools and tools. It should give you needed drivers and support for ADB & Fastboot(not sure if Samsung uses it).
Or you might be able to use Odin to do whatever you trying to do with ADB. Not sure though. Depends on what you trying to do.

I'm trying to play with some app deving, I like the logcat tools Eclipse provides.
I'm also trying to play with sqlite,
I updated my SDK to have the ICS and JB API's, I didn't think that ADB would have been significantly different than the honeycomb one I was using with my GB phone. I'll give it another try when I get back to my office on Thursday. I figured either I was doing something wrong, or I had something wrong on my Note when my Prevail works.
Thanks for the help
Well, I updated everything, made sure I have the latest ADB executable and dll's and still can't get it to work.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I can connect to my phone just fine, pull logcats, install test builds of APKs with Eclipse, everything.
My Note just doesn't show in the device list. I've made sure that adbd is a running service on the Note. Should I be using a different cable from the one that came with the system?
In case it matters, the only things I've done are to install CWM recovery and rooted using this method: rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
Well, turns out I'm a complete idiot.
It helps to have the latest samsung drivers installed
I had given up on getting it to work, then installed Kies to do an update.....
once it installed new drivers, my Note suddenly started showing up in ADB's device list.
Here I thought I already had the latest drivers
I feel like such an idiot
I have spent all day long trying to figure this out, I dont have a pc and need to see if I can install CWM recovery on my UNLOCKED/UNROOTED jelly bean tf700, using a mac? (I would like to install cleanrom in the end).
any help would be highly appreciated!!
Not a Mac user however
I see that Android SDK is available for MacOS.
The tools are evidently downloadable: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
A video that may help.

Seems if you can get a terminal window up on your Mac you should be able to flash to the tablet.
thank you

thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question! I have unlocked, installed twrp and flashed cleanrom and clemsyns kernel. I did go through hell with the twrp flashing since i am not well versed in pc language (nor mac really) but I was able to get it in the end. I ended up borrowing a pc (without the owners knowledge though, oooops!!).
Everything smooth and great now!!
