[Q] Best Way to capture android screen? - General Questions and Answers

(Im using an HTC Sensation, Rooted with InsertCoin ROM, incase that has anu effect)
What is the best, lag free way to record me android phone's screen? Would the Android SDK be the best, or is there a neat program out there?

since you are rooted, there are many free apps in the market for you to choose from. personally, i've used shootme, but that's been a while ago.

Solved! I ended up finding an app for $2.99 called ScreenCast. It records with NO lag at all and SUPER high quality, I highly recommend!
There is a free version, however it only records up to 30 seconds of footage, so it is like a testing version.
SCREENSCAST!

Ah, didn't know you wanted ability to record video playing on your device. Glad you found something and thanks for sharing. I'll have to check it out, too.

ShootMe has screencasting available. It disappeared from the market, but I have the apk if anyone wants it. It was/is a free app.
I'll note that the fps are pretty low on ShootMe, don't know about the app you mentioned.

[APPS] [REQUEST] Video editing?

i have searched and searched but i have turned up nothing. i know there is no video editing app for android. Is there anyone out there working on one. im sorry but i love my nexus very much. the one thing i wish i could do is record a 720p video add my youtube intro to it and then upload it to youtube. without having to connect to my mac convert video to mp4 then edit it in imovie then export it the upload it to youtube. i have thought about buying an itouch just so i could use it as a camcorder that have video editing. as you can see im not asking for much. im sure there is plenty of people that wish androids could do this.
Main things i would love to see
video splicing
transitions
thats all. i wish i knew how to program for android because i think this would be an amazing thing to bring to android.
I would like to know as well.
I'd also like to have this.
I already post this question but it is still unanswered :'(

I was interested in this too... even if I could just rotate the videos I rrecord by 90 degrees, that would be a huge help!

Also interested in this.
I'm curious to know if something like ffmpeg could be used? And then add a GUI afterwards?
Is there any cloud based application that can be used since we have flash and maybe let us upload your data and edit it there and redownload?
Sense as if that might be the least intensive work-wose unless someone has a native app everyone seems to have missed.

Hey all, there's a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830781 to port the LG Optimus' video editing app over to the Nexus One - apparently it's mostly working on the Vibrant already.

App to play YouTube audio? (Music)

Just looking for an app that I can use to search YouTube for music, and play its audio only. Theres a lot of music I listen to on YouTube, but don't want to deal with buffering the whole video, keeping the phone awake etc. Found an app called UMusic, but it has been removed from market and can't find an apk anywhere. Anyone know of any alternatives? Thanks

There was an app called "Ghost town" and rather good it was too. But it also shared the same fate, and was removed. It's obviously Google clamping down on certain licensing laws.
I use these now, they run from the Grooveshark Databases, but are free, and are rather good.

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
heh, i was looking for the same a couple of months ago. i tried most (all?) of the apps i found to do this (or something like this), some of them worked with flash and others didn't, but i found none of the apps really reliable, as in they all gave me issues sooner or later... ranging from connection problems, major buffering issues, app crashing, to no music found, etc. etc. none of them worked as well as the default youtube app, if only it would work in the background! So would love to hear if there is a simple and nice alternative that showed up recently!!
Yeah ghost town is dead... shame someone can't modify the YouTube app to do this..

Yea, +1 that my friend!
ghost town is here: http://ghosttownapp.com/
I wasn't able to download it from the ghost town site. I found an apk for it but it will no longer play music

you sir, deserve quite a large cookie.
my ONLY complaint, which i noticed in the comments as well... is the quality. however, it may have been the particular song i chose, or my phone, or whatever. I'll be trying this out in the car tomorrow. Thanks, I def appreciate it!

Screen recorder for unrooted Xoom

Is there any way to record or do a screencast of the Xoom with decent frame rates, I want to create a demonstration of an app I developed specifically for the Xoom. ShootMe is not available on HC and even that was restricted to 10fps. Anyone know of a way?
Thanks XD

I think that the name and target of the thread is not clear enough.
It mentioned specifically "aren't too popular". So... wtf is 'What's up' doing with that?! And most of the rest.
Please only put apps that you found, use and not seen in the first pages on the forum. Do not make this a list with your apps... please!

The OP listed tasker as an app. Its on the play store. People can post whatever cool apps they use. If you don't like it, start your own thread.

This. And I mean seriously, how long until these apps hit market? It's the most available platform. A cool app is a cool app on xda or store
But we already have tons of "what's your favorite app" threads. It would be interesting to discover new sous that aren't already on the okay store. But it's whatever. Do as you please everyone.

New rule you have to put a short description for each app you mention
Aptoide uploader is really nifty. You make yout own private app store for your friends. I liked it over a competitor appsfire.

Nice j dee! I hate it when my youtube shuts off in the gym. Can't leave the screen on and put it back in my pocket
Come on peeps keep em coming. I like the list so far. It's small and precise not large and burgeoning. Let's go over something very relevant: STREAMING from your HD
Jbeans 4.2 Camera- Full Screen Camera (compared to 4.1.2) and gallery you could flash for your 4.1.2 phone
Mediahouse Player- An organized app that collects all the shared music videos off of shared directories on your computer use in conjunction with. Allows you to favorite directories/devices. Really neat app
mx player- easy ui can easily disable/enable hardware software encoding for audio and video during play
v player- like mxplayer, could be better with UI, but unlike MX player allows you to set buffer to a whopping 8mb...so longer initial load for video but plays back perfectly otherwise
ES file explorer- save network drives
I usually make the default player for ES v player and for media house mx player. Good setup. Mx Player allows you to manage defaults for video players in-app too. Another neat feature. Well worth the money for that app.
From the computer end there are a lot of options to stream (I made a post about this a while back...search on me) but I like PS3 Media server 1.70.1 for my PS3. It allows for real-time transcoding for devices where your video format (ie mkv) isn't available. I also install TVersity server on my computer end and both servers as well as the raw files allow me to wirelessly stream every tv show except for planet earth which has a ridiculous bitrate.
Only other thing to worry about on the computer end is to make sure your sharing settings etc are set up as openly as possible. I have a homegroup password and everyone in it is allowed to at least read my directories
Hey zetsui,
sure, I love my HOX and GNEX phones (by now even more than my PC) and why not participate in sharing cool underdog apps?
Is that Mediahouse player the one you can download from the Play Store? Sounds pretty usable to me

Way better than stock audio recorder. Can record as mp3 at 128kbit/s, good enough for me. Of course, you can increase it. Can record as ogg too.

Like setcpu, but free. You can have 3 profiles in the free version. Ought to be good enough for beginners.

[APP][2.3.7+] Ace Live Video Wallpaper 1.0

Hi everybody,
I made an app in which you can download looping videos, that I made myself, and with the use of another app (Video Live Wallpaper), you can set these videos as live wallpaper.
I had this app Video Live Wallpaper for a year or so already, but all you could do was set some downloaded movies or youtube videos, but they never really fit the screen, especially in portrait mode. So I started making some looping videos 480x800 (my own screensize) and put them on my phone. People thought it looked really cool and asked me to make some for them.
Then someone suggested to make an app out of it. I studied my ass off to learn some basic java and android and the result is Ace Live Video Wallpaper.
I still have to improve some things on it, but it's working good on my phone and a couple of other peoples phones who tested it for me (galaxy note and htc glacier, and myself I got a Dell Streak 5).
I only make 3 different screen resolutions, 320x480, 480x800 and 720x1280, but the 720x1280 videos work good on a galaxy note with 800x1280 resolution. All videos I make are 16 fps and maximum bitrate is 1mb. So all videos are around 10 to 20 seconds and only 0.5 to 2 mb in size.
I got a free version and a paid version.
Here's the free version:
Ace Live Video Wallpaper Free
Please let me know what you think of it and how I could improve on it.
Some screenshots:
What are the differences between the free and paid versions?

The free version only has about 5 videos. With the paid version, the list of videos keeps growing.
Updated app. Now got video preview and fancier interface.
Updated the app. The video list keeps growing.
The free version has around 70 videos and the paid version now has over 150 videos.
I'm thinking of integrating submissions from video artists. Let me know if anyone's interested.
Thanks.

I completely changed the interface. Everything is now categorized. And it's now possible to buy individual video packs.

I'm thinking of including a section where people can submit their own made videos. I've seen some pretty well made boot animations that would be perfect as a live wallpaper.
If anyone is interested just contact me.
