There is an app in the market called screenshot that works for me. It has a time feature so you set it for some number of seconds and you can choose the file format as well.
It also has a shake to shoot feature if you want to take multiple shots.

It doesnt work for me, I get the super user pop up but then it fails. All of my other root apps work fine.

thanks so much. I was just about to search for this, but then it occurred to me it was most likely on xda and what do you know
I've tried using the SwitchMe app multiple times but it always crashes before I can set up a profile. Is this just an issue on the Sidekick or am I missing something?
I would think it should be compatible cause I can download it from Google play.
Thanks!

UPDATE 10/24 -
members posting here on XDA have turned me to an even better Facebook app..
Friendcaster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree
All the features of stock Facebook app and then some.. theming and easier navigation, better notifications.. definitely worth checking out!
OLD:
Stumbled upon this searching the forums. I tried it out and so far so good.
"Fast for Facebook" is an app started by an XDA member and it has a couple different themes. It has most of the features the official Facebook app has but the major benefit is battery saving with background processes not running constantly.

I downloaded this app many months ago but at that time many features were missing. It seems like there's been a lot of progress so I'll give it another shot. I didn't know someone from XDA made it.

There has been a ton of progress to the app. I thoroughly hated it months ago but now it stands as a decent competitor to the official app. The only real thing I don't like is no push notifications, but I check FB often enough for that not to matter.

try flipster..i ve been using it for a while and its quite good. no frills approach to fb
I recently tried Fast and Flipster, and quickly started getting a bunch of spam email from random Yahoo email addresses, spoofed with the names of my Facebook friends.
Maybe just a coincidence, but seemed pretty fishy to me.

Nice! I just uninstall the Official FB app for Flipster. Works great reminds me of Plume for Twitter.
I've been using Friendcaster for about a month and its been solid, I like built in theme chooser.

I've been running it for about 6 months, I guess from Gingerbread to Jellybean, and it's worked fine. I like how it shows the posts more than my computer browser.

What do you guys think of it?
http://www.swiftkey.net/introducing-swiftkey-flow
Given that I consider SwiftKey the best keyboard out there for the way I use one, I think it would be an awesome topic for the Apps section!
>>> POOF <<<<
That was amazing!
I'm looking forward to trying it out. I did sort of like Swype, but it was just to buggy, its predictions too far off the mark, and no ability to edit the user dictionary made me leave it behind long ago.
Looks neat I signed up for the beta, tried out touchpal the other day, seemed too bloated but this looks somewhat promising. Thanks for the share.

It is explained on their support site here:
http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...tion-to-use-swiftkey-predictions-everywhere-i
But, basically, there are two flags that android developers can use to let a keyboard know not to supply predictions. One of them is for a field that offers its own autocorrect. SwiftKey 3 behaves the same way. You can't flow anywhere that you don't have predictions. I hope that they change this and I hope that Google/Android changes how these flags work.
Just went ahead and downloaded this. Been wanting a nice swipe app. This works really well so far. Diggin the customization ability of it too.
Sucks battery like no tomorrow, from what I can tell. CM9 here.

Google plus is your best bet, great communication with people who have the same interests. Take time to look at the many guides for how to get the most out of your experience.

I've found just going to the mobile site using the web browser works best for me. No apps to download and youcan do everything you need to. only thing you don't get is notifications which to me isn't a big deal.

Are you able to somehow view events in fast for facebook? I bought fast pro last night, and noticed I can't seem to see events. Lately my work friends have been scheduling their Happy hours through it, and I'd like to be able to see it on my phone without using the mobile site.

Not sure but here's the Fast for Facebook thread can ask the dev. Or see if he would implement that into it.
