[Q] Screenshots? - G Tablet General

I am having issues on the Gtab with various screen capture programs. I have tried the usual suspects dropcap2 and such and always end up with a blank/black screen capture. I am using Launcher Pro if that helps at all.

ShootMe is a great program!

Yeah that's one I tried, just got blank screenshots

DDMS is the only current way
the android SDK contains a tool called DDMS, which is used to capture screens either with or without the use of Eclipse IDE. It requires ADB to work, and there are threads in the development subforum on howto setup ADB.

yea none of the screenshot apps will work you need to use adb but there this app called qtadb it works great as a manager and it has a screen shot taker and the sdk is even required cause it has the adb file already, the worse part of adb for the gtab was the drivers, i have them already set up so let me know if you need them

Looks nice.
Waiting to see how this will be used for various apps..
I might actually start using it for an app idea I have.
Thanks

Apps need to be developed with multi-touch ability. You can't retro-fit it as everything uses default windows methods for detecting touch. To detect multi-touch requires you to detect a second touch in a completely different way, so applications would need a recode in order to do this.
All you can do is add pinch-to-zoom, but only the "system" style, not embedded in the app, like Opera for example.
I read that Windows Mobile 6.6 will bring real multitouch and it will come next month
the multitouch function is a bit confusing. if i use one finger and put the another finger down, the software don't recognise the other finger, only if i put both finger down at once.
i hope it is a software problem not a hardware problem....
Yes, it is just a driver Problem
"just"....

i've heard of that, too. but in order to support real multitouch, i guess the apps have to be coded to do so. that means that apps which don't do multitouch at the moment won't do it with wm 6.6 too.
Supporting Multitouch is the same Problem like MultiCPU: Apps must be coded for it.
But I think it will get more easily hacking in Multitouch in several apps if wm6.6 supports it natively

Dude, fantastic work with the DLL! But I'm having some problems
I did the reg-fix as specified, but I'm not quite sure about the keyname ("yourapp"). Does this need to be anything special, or is it only the name of the exe that is important?
I suspect that is the problem, since it doesn't register any touches whatsoever
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\TouchGL\Pinch\WhiteList\Whatever]
"ProcName"="YouAppProcessName.exe"
that should be logical
I hope you have softreseted your device afterwards? and the ProcessName is right and all other steps are like in the tutorial?!

Yeah, and doublechecked, and softreset again....
I noticed though that in your readme.txt, you write
myMultiTouch.CatchWndProc(this);
Although in the version I downloaded (today from your site) accepts only
myMultiTouch.CatchWndProc(Form, PositionFixX, PositionFixY);
I've basically copy/pasted your example, and try adding breakpoints, or populating labels, but nothing happens...
The fixes can be 0 for testing, they should be optional :/
You use the HD2?
Post all you code you have written for it please and continue in that thread please:

Take screenshot without root?

Are there any apps that let you take a screenshot without rooting? I've been searching for this for days and haven't found anything, but I find it hard to believe that even iPods can do it yet Google couldn't figure out how to implement a screenshot feature? And I don't really want to root my phone just so I can take a screenshot.

if you have android sdk installed, you can just run
Code:
ddms
in terminal, a window will pop up, and then navigate to device->Screen Capture to take a screenshot. Let me know if it works and it should work if the phone is not rooted.
well supposedly 'shootme' has worked for some that arent rooted. not too sure if it is the truth or not, but that is what i have read on some of the comments left as feedback on the market itself.
i havent tried it myself so just kinda wanted to let you know what i had previously heard of.

The iPod is just a series of devices all running the same operating system with similar hardware specs. Android is an operating system with many different variants on numerous phones with varying hardware specs. Because of this variation it is not easy to 'figure out how to implement a feature.'
Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D
Depending on your device, ShootMe may work as stated previously. Unlike other screenshot apps, it still attempts to work even if root access is not available. It worked perfectly on my Evo before I rooted it.
If it doesn't work for you, you can try the method mentioned previously. Depending on which device you have, there may be a temp root available. I believe z4root does this on certain phones. Upon reboot, root access will no longer be available and you'll need to run the app again.
Google does not natively allow for screenshots to be taken for security purposes. If an app can take a screenshot of your phone at any time, it can record information without your knowledge - passwords, banking info, etc. When you root your phone, you are able to bypass a lot of the "rules" set in place by the OS. Yes, it's a lame excuse as computers and other mobile OS's have it built in.

I'm trying to install Android SDK now but it says I don't have Java SE Development Kit installed, even though I do.
@plainjane I looked at the z4root thread but a lot of the latest replies are saying it bricked their phone so I don't think I want to try it.
Use MyPhoneExplorer (usb debugging must be turning ON), connect via USB and take screenshot easily.

Here is how I rooted my phone if you are wanting to give it a try:Lifehacker
As for the Java SE Development Kit, the whole download takes a lot of try and try again. Try to uninstall and reinstall.

$20 webcam= Skype video+camera apps working NOW!

If you are running a teamdrh rom with JB, or ICS with the 2.6.39 kernel, you can use a webcam and this hack to make skype video calls or take pictures/ record video with the stock camera app. I have tested this and it works great, skype calls are getting video and audio but i have only done a couple of five minute calls so I do not know if you will have the same luck with the MIC that I have had. on the stock camera app, if you "switch" from front to back camera, it inverts the video image, but video recording works, however on the stock app the MIC will cut off at around 10 seconds, but videolooks good, and pictures work too. All other camera apps I downloaded have worked as well.
REquirements:
1) a UVC webcam, which means compatible with Video4linux, or Video4windows, really most webcams work. The easy way if you buy one is to find on the box anything that says "no drivers/cd required." But check here: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices
I bought a $17 gigaware at radioshack, the cheapest one in the store.
2) You need to download this file:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4ltl2zYxU7yVTVnM1RzVlBNaUE/edit?pli=1
BUT EXTRACT AND ONLY COPY THE camera.tegra.so FILE INTO your tablet's /SYSTEM/LIB/HW folder, and reboot. If you copy the other stuff you might find that your device will NO LONGER BOOT!!!
3) Plug your webcam into the usb port and in terminal run these commands:
su
chown system.camera /dev/video0
chmod 660 /dev/video0
*If you download gscript you can enter these commands once, and then it is just a couple of clicks, WAY EASIER! they need to be entered everytime you plug the webcam in, and before you run a camera/skype app.
Enjoy, I am hoping some people will test this and confirm it works for them too, please!

found this and I am wondering if he is talking about an ICS function, or just an Adam function. Either way, i was thinking the Adam is very similar to ours anyway. Anyone have a usb webcam that wants to try this, or bash me if the idea is out of the question for Gtab?? either is fine, just thought this MIGHT be useful.

There is a possibility that this already works on TeamDRH's ICS rom. The support has been added in the kernel awhile back but never been tested.
Thanks and much credit to rajeevvp!!!! I have gotten a webcam to stream video onto my gtab with DRH 1.3.2
Its kind've choppy, and a little blurry but works in a stable manner.
I am beggining to learn programming for android and trying to figure out a way to have any apps divert to my working video source instead of looking at the factory camera for a source. It seems it should be possible but I am just still too newb to Know any better.
If you would like to test this, then refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29457353&postcount=11
I have had success with a uvc compatibe webcam so far.
If you might have an idea as to how to trick the rom into looking at the usb port for its default video source I would like to know. Or if you can conclusively tell me that this is not possible I would like to know that too. My understanding is that there are two ways to approach this. One is to have the rom divert any frame capture requests to the usb video source as opposed to the original location. The other way, and probably more likely way, is to take an app like skype and hack it to go to usb for video, as opposed to the "stock camera location." Any insights would be very helpful. At least then, we could video chat with a small webcam, as opposed to no camera at all.
If this works for you, hit the thanks button on RAJEEVVP's post.

That binary source code may also work on other ROMs (Froyo-, GB-, or HC-based ones)--if the Android<->HW camera interface hasn't changed. (The binary, unfortunately, doesn't load on GB and HC.)
This is how it should've been done by nVidia in the first place. I had expected them or VS/Malata to write a kernel driver for their camera which implemented the standard V4L interface. Instead, they have a binary-only shared object which directly controls the camera HW in a completely opaque way. There's hardly any camera-support code in the official (2.6.32.x) kernels at all--I was very surprised when I looked into this some time back.
nVidia's HW is nice and all, but, from now on, I'm just not going to buy any more of their products if it relies on any proprietary blobs.

I found out I didn't have a dev/video0 folder. I created one but the camera fcs. Is ther supposed to be files in the video0 folder? I noticed in the audio folder there were several files. I am running DRH ICS 1.3 It didn't have the camera app installed since it didn't work anyway.
Any help would be appreciated. I restored the camera app with Ti from an earlier backup.
Thanks
btw: Thanks to all who got this working. I've been looking for something just like this.
Um, /dev/video0 is only created after you plug in your camera. You do not create this yourself. If your camera is UVC compatible, then after it is plugged in you should have /dev/video0 on the stock rom with no modifications! Did you check the link to see if it is listed?
These terminal commands give the camera permission to use the camera apps, along with the camera.tegra.so file. But, a totally unmodded rom will give /dev/video0 if your camera is compatible, because TEAMDRH already included the needed drivers. download the app "usb host controller" and open it after you plug your camera in. under the USB tab, does it register or list your camera? If so, then google your webcam, not the brand name, but the brand that is listed under "usb host controller" to see if it is UVC. My camera is a Gigaware, but under usb host controller it is listed as an MSI Starcam.
This positively works for me, but I have been waiting for anyone else to tell me it worked for them too so I can confirm. I am happy to help, because I want this to work universally as it should so it is a viable option.
Thanks

Thanks. I'm at work and just pulled out a cheap camera from my drawer. Not even sure what model it is. I wasn't aware though that the camera would create the folder when it is plugged in. When I get home I know I have a camera that is compatible and I will try it again.
Thanks for your help. I will let you know how it goes.

It works. I haven't actually taken a pic or video yet, but I got a picture. I'm using my Logitech 270 HD webcam and the picture looks great. This is what I've been waiting for. I downloaded the free version if Camera ICS off the Play store. May have to buy it. The older stck camera app still FCs but the ICS one fired right up. Now I'll have to make my script.
Thanks a great deal... :good::good:
On a fresh install of the JB alpha, if you swipe left on the lockscreen instead of right, the camera app pops up, if you do a factory reset, then it will be in your app drawer!
I am so glad to hear it works for someone else.
TO use video recording or skype video, any video, you have to swap from the front to back camera. It shows an inverted image, but when you play back a recorded video, it is proper, also skype might be inverted but it looks right on the other end. I do not know why this is, but it works!!
***To clear up any confusion, the terminal commands only need to be entered once, after the camera is plugged but before you try to use any camera apps. They do not need to be re-entered until the next time you plug your webcam in, or restart the tab. With the gscript, you can put a shortcut on your homescreen, and the process becomes: plug cam in, tap one button, then load camera app or skype,etc!!
I can confirm it works with ICS Beta 1.3.2 (using the Camera ICS app). Camera, and Skype work just fine!
At last, my gTab is complete again! (well... almost...).

Random newbish question
would this be able to work on other tablets as well? albeit slightly modified and what not... i've been thinking of integrating a dell streak 7 into my dash and an external web cam would be a neat back up cam
Im gonna guess no, but it is possible. YOu need a kernel with V4l2 support, and a file like this to direct the rom to communicate with it. I know nothing about dell streaks, but if you ask a developer of the rom you're using to look at Borkata's github source you might get a solution, but I really do not know.

I've tried this with on a gTablet, testing both G-Harmony & SmoOther Beam 4.1.2, but I haven't been able to get it working.
I'm testing it with a Microsoft HD-6000 webcam. Any suggestions on where I might look to determine if the problem is related to the ROM/approach, or the hardware?
I've already checked the UVC compatibility page. Unfortunately it's a bit out-of-date, and the HD-6000 is not yet listed, yet the sister HD-3000 is listed as supported.
Thank you in advance for any ideas!

AVD vs real device?

Hey guys, first of all, sorry if I post on the wrong section.
I have aquestion for devs. I'm a student developer and I'm learning to develop for Android. Do you guys think I'd necessarily need an Android device or the Android emulator would be enough(maybe for one year or more). I also like w10 mobile and I don't know what to do.
Thanks!!!!!!
Also another question, I'm a really beginner dev, but I'd like to get involved in community development, hacking etc, what do you guys recommend to me? Where should a beginner like me start from?
I am always running the apps on a real device if I can. This is definetly needed if the app uses for example something like networking because these functions will not be available on an emulator. The main reason however for using a real device is that it runs a lot smoother. The emulator can take a long time to boot up and it can be really laggy when running the app. Also when you are holding the phone on your hand you get to see how the app really looks and feels.
Emulator is ok though if there is nothing else available.

You can use Android Studio emulator and it will work in most cases. Couple recommendations:
1. Select Android version with Google APIs when creating device
2. Install Intel HAXM (you can find it in SDK manager also) - this will really speed up your emulator including loading time
3. Android Studio 2.0 will be released soon and looks like they will improve emulator performance and functionality there.
Of course you may face something wich is not currently works on emulator but you will face this on a real devices too - some features may work different on devices from different manufacturers. But the chance with facing this kind of troubles is very low when you work on common stuff. Also you can take a look to the 3rd party emulators, like Genymotion.
Anyway I prefer to use real device when developing because I can "feel" it

Start with creating some app which will work with some Rest services, display some sort of lists, images, use database to store data. Just think about creating something useful and interesting for you.

You can test GPS using different apps which mocks your location (you can download apk from play store and install it on emulator) or using the terminal:
1. Connect to emulator with "telnet localhost 5554" command. Maybe you will need to change "5554" with another digits - just look at emulator's window title
2. Set location with "geo fix 12.345 67.89" command
What other sensors you need to test?
Used android emulators a lot, but mostly to test different unusual screen resolutions/dpi combinations.
They're ok speedwise, but you'll never get real feel of your app on AVD. And please, don't release anything, that just been tested only on AVD.
Also AVDs are quite good for recording videos of your app UI using screengrabbers on desktop (SSR - Simple Screen recorder is the best for me so far)
As for beginner's project - try to implement little game. I've started with simple rotating cube example from "Hello Android" book , and this little project ended with game with 3M downloads on play store
Android emulator will work when you begin a project.
If you need more tests or make a formal public apk, you can use real devices.
Best way is use both if you have device - use device. Another android versions, resolutions, sizes etc. test on the emulator.
If standard emulator is too slow, you can use genymotion.

MI TV stick unstable after update.

i have a mi tv stick, which was working just fine before there was an update. after the update. it boots then just crashes after a few seconds. Is there a way to reflash the previous update?
Mine too... before first firmware update; firefox tv browser, netflix, youtube, facebook watch all stable. Watching videos for hours with no problems.
After update: netflix crashes, youtube crashes, weak 5ghz wifi. Crashes on its own at homescreen. Freeze loading the app and all kinds of action making tv stick un usable
Some fuzzy video output like its overheating or similar.
I have 2 Mi TV Sticks, both from different manufacturers by the look of the remote. Both run well with sept update.
But not after some initial problems. This device has only 1 GB RAM and that is too little without some tweaks.
Also power need is very critical. Use a good USB power source.
For the tweaks look at my page here: https://sites.google.com/site/tweakradje/devices/xiaomi-mi-tv-stick

Can you explain a little bit about that process. Should i turn on adb over wifi and run those commands? you disable tv remote services. does that disable wifi remote services or the bluetooth one? Are you currently running all those commands. Can you explain if there's any downside for that? Thank you!

Have you tried these commands?... Give me an opinion!
I just got one a week ago and it immediately prompted this update and it was fine for a few hours while I was setting everything up and then it just started freezing and being really unresponsive. The factory reset didn't help either.
I'm looking if there's a way to flash the previous firmware somehow. If anyone knows where I could get the firmware file or how to do it I would appreciate it.
There is no way back to previous firmware!
I have no problem with latest firmware after my tweaks. Why don't you try them too and report back here? That's the reason I posted them here in the first place. To help other owners. If nobody reports back it's pointless. Stop moaning and asking for the impossible
Cheers
Do I have to execute all commands or can only be separate that I judge? Where find autostart activities" and "running activities" for example?
@netreign good point. Where to start. I would start with applying all the GLOBAL/SYSTEM/SECURE settings. Copy / Paste in ADB shell.
In development menu disable animation by setting them to 0.
Second disable the packages you not use.
Third use appops to disable (3rd party like netflix/amazon and what you installed) apps to run in background.

No one is moaning, I just wanted to know if there's a way to flash the previous firmware. Thanks for the answer I guess...

I have 2 Mi TV Sticks, both from different manufacturers by the look of the remote. Both run well with sept update.
But not after some initial problems. This device has only 1 GB RAM and that is too little without some tweaks.
Also power need is very critical. Use a good USB power source.
For the tweaks look at my page here: https://sites.google.com/site/tweakradje/devices/xiaomi-mi-tv-stick

Thanks! I tried it. Half the commands return an error. And it's still unstable didn't work.
@Amerull Thanks for the feedback! Have you already tried a proper 1 Amp power supply? Sounds like a power problem. I have had that issue. Some TV's cannot deliver 500+ mAmps. The new firmware has more performance so more power hungry.

I'm using the stock power cable that came with the box. Not sure what's causing it.
