Now that we have S-OFF and Perm Root, is there any way to get built in screenshot functionality working? I have tried a couple of free screenshot apps on the Market but they don't work. They output jumbled/distorted images.

That's what I thought. Apparantly it is built in to the Sensation too but is disabled somewhere.

This app works great for me without distorting image.

if you open up build.prop with root explorer you can see that the screencapture feature was disabled, after removing the "#" and then rebooting the phone attempts to take the screenshot, makes the camera noise and says the shot was saved, but the jpgs are 0 bytes?

I tried it but am having the same problem as all other Screenshot apps. It displays transparent lines on some of the elements such as the Clock widget or Calendar. Maybe it's a live wallpaper issue?

Hang on a second! You also have the same problem on your home screens. I just had another look at your screenshots. The Google Talk icon is cut off at the bottom on the last one you posted with the live wallpaper. That's one of the problems I am experiencing, as well as the lines. Looks like maybe the live wallpaper could be the culprit and not Sense.

They only display canvas background on my phone and don't show the whole skin. It looks exactly like when your phone is mounted and only gray/black cavas background is showing. I tried a factory reset and didn't work. Don't know what is going on.
Every skin I have tried using Beautiful Widgets has worked.
beautiful widgets works fine for me,along with the animation pack

Only default Weather skin works. Rest of them weather skins and clock skins don't work. I can run other apps and widgets just fine, except these two widgets. Maybe Amazon messed up the Fancy Widget Pro, because I got it from there for free. I've done factory reset so many times also.

You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

Hey all.
I just rootet my Sensation last night, got S-Off, root etc.
Running Revolution HD rom right now, and I've used Leedroid too, but I got a problem, when I take screenshots of my sensation the picture looks like this: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...I/AAAAAAAAAFs/Aai4fJlrAP4/s512/screenshot.jpg
I´ve tried with these two apps: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.geeksoft.screenshot&feature=search_result
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bw.picme.local&feature=search_result
Anyone know what the problem is?
The problem is that those 2 apps that you tried don't support the qHD display that we have. They are for WVGA and lower resolution.
What you need is drocap2 which supports qHD.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gmail.nagamatu.drocap2&feature=search_result
Yea it looks like drocap2 works better. But with it there seems to be lines in the capture at times. I took a snap of my home screen which came out great, but when I took a shot of my lock screen which uses the Weather widget the capture had some black lines across it.
The screen shots are attached.
I'm using Perma-Temp Root for root access.
I just took a screenshot of my lock screen with drocap2 and it worked fine. Perhaps it is because you are using Perma-Temp Root instead of the full S-OFF and Root.

Same question.
The lines are what I believe from the live wallpaper. Try using a static wallpaper and do another screenshot.
As for the power and home I think its only available with certain roms, I am not 100% on that though.

I'll take your word for it on the live wallpaper. That sounds plausible enough. I enjoy my lock screen too much to change it even for a short test .
And yea, that power+home for a screen shot sounds like something in a custom ROM.
I had those same lines but mine were even worse.
I downloaded Screenshot ER from the market and it works perfectly!

It's been addressed a few times already. But because of the s-off threads, it has been buried here in xda. I know because I have pretty much commented in every one of them lol.
The problems with most screenshot apps are that most out there are not made for our qHD screens. Therefore you get the fuzzy shots. As for the drocap, I think drocap2 is the one that works most of the time. I say that because if you are running any live wallpapers you get the dark lines across the screen. Go and follow the thread Viper posted to edit your build prop so that you can use the power + home combo screenshot app thats built into the phone. You just have to edit the build.prop to "activate" it. GL
screnshoot it work fo me
Maybe email the authors of drocap and shootme will help. :/
If you are running a custom rom, most likely the build.prop has been edited already to run the Power + Home button screen shop native app. I know the Virtuous app can do this now, so I do not need to mess with the build.prop file anymore, unless I want to play with some of the settings.

I think it depends on the ROM and also the LWP. Have you tried taking a screenshot with a live wallpaper on? I get lines most of the time with the LWP and clear as day shots with static wallpapers using drocap2.
With the edited build.prop, the system screenshot (power + home) works for me.
Just an fyi for everyone. ShootMe had an update in the Market yesterday and it now works on my Sensation when it wasn't before.
Ok, I'm sure that it's not only me having this issue, but
I'm trying to install the CleanROM 3.0 Wallpaper and any time that I do, it crops it and turns all pixelated. I've noticed this with any wallpaper I try to set that's not a system wallpaper.. is there any way to fix this??
I'm currently Running CleanROM DE 3.1
but i've noticed this on pretty much every ROM i've ran
here is the wallpaper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27624455&postcount=24
I've actually spent yesterday figuring out how to do this in a super roundabout way.
I put the wallpapers I want into CleanROM 3.0 SE ROM itself. I edited the ROM zip file with 7-zip, inserted the background I wanted in the correct location and performed a full data wipe. Then I flashed it to the phone.
And walla, it works... I now have the 2 wallpapers I want in full resolution.
I'm sure there is an app that can put a full resolution wallpaper in your phone for you. I just never looked... lol
We had a similar problem with the HP Touchpad and a guy made an app on the play store to remedy it (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5raGFubmluZy50cHdwYXBwbGllciJd)
Unfortunately it only works with the Touchpad's resolution, though if someone made an app to support our resolution then it would work fine.
Just resize it when you select the wallpaper. Touch the opposing corners on the crop box and drag to make it bigger.

I've been using Zedge to set my wallpaper. When I set it through the app, it doesn't seem to lose quality, but if I try setting it through Sense from the downloaded picture, it does lose some quality.
Look up "dodol wallpaper" in the playstore. I set some pretty damn high quality photos as my wallpaper. Always amazes people!
I use an app call wallpaper set and save. It will keep the resolution of the image you are setting as the wallpaper.
