Is there a Screen Capture function? (ARHD 3.6.4)

Is there a screen capture feature built into this phone? I'm currently running ARHD 3.6.4. I thought the button combo was power+home, but that just either brings up the power menu or tiled home screen. No screen shot.

I don't know but I'm currently using version 4.1.7
I can capture by pressing power button along with home (don't press power button too long)
try this on your room, it might work.

Negative,
as mentioned, Power + Home does nothing but tile the homescreen, bring up the power menu or put the phone into sleep mode. I've experimented with timing of the power+home key presses which explains the different results.
If it does take a screen shot they show up in the gallery right? Cause that's where I'm looking and no screen shots are in there.

You are going to have to edit the build.prop to enable screen caps

I found the screencapture entry but when I try and edit and save (using ES Editor) I get an error: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"
Before editing it directly on the phone I tried copying it to my SD in order to edit on my PC. When trying to move it back to the phone it said: File cannot be moved.
EDIT:
I just noticed the file does not have write permissions enabled. So do I have to copy to PC, then change permissions, edit/save, change permissions back and copy to phone again?

Hi,
Use ES File Explorer.
Go to settings and make sure "root explorer" and "mount file system" are ticked.
Then edit the file,save and reboot.

Both options are greyed out.
I tried to check the "root explorer" box and got a warning confirmation, something about being an "Experimental Feature", hit the Yes button then it asked for Superuser access, which I said yes too.
Then it flashed something like "Test Failed".Now both options are still greyed out and nothing happens if I tap to uncheck them.

Download File Expert, go to menu and settings and enable root explorer - Check mark the /system directory and hit menu then say mount RW.
I found this one works much easier for editing files than ES Exp.

I don't know about custom rom's but in the stock, yes. However, I have absolutely no idea what the screen cap button is. All I know is that I've accidentally taken a few and they're in my gallery lol

Man, I'm sorry but this is just NOT working.
I installed File Expert, changed the settings to enable Root Explorer, checked the /sys directory and enabled RW.
When I try to edit the file it wont save the changes.
I've tried editing the file using ES Note Editor, File Editor and File Expert (although the latter does not seem to have an editing function; no keyboard pops up when I tap the text).
When using ES Note Editor I change the screencapture command from FALSE to TRUE then menu>save. But when I open it again to view the changes the command is still FALSE.
When using File Editor to change the command I get an error when trying to save: "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved"
I also noticed when I click out of the editor and back into the file directory the checkmark in /System folder is unchecked (like the Read/Write permissions revert back).
I appriciate the help. I had no idea it would be this complicated

Ok. Try way B.
Skip trying to enable the internal one and go to the market and download drocap2. It is free and works great.

Just use an app called "shoot me".
The perfect screen shot app that works on all roms.
Just instal, go to where you want to make the picture off, shake your phone and voila its in your gallary with his own folder.
Just google for it. its not in the market anymore

[Q] Atrix 2 Issue Enabling Hotspot and ICS Update

[QUOTE from Another Thread]
Using SQLite
1.open settings storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
2.open settings.db
3.settings
4.search for dun_apn_changeable and dun_enable
5.Change both of their values to 1
---------------
I have an Atrix 2 running 2.3.6 rooted. (Rooted with SuperOneClick)
I want to enable the Wifi Hotspot feature, I have read several threads on this group, but I do not understand if I download SQlite on my pc and run it or my phone.
I downloaded the program on my phone, but when I open it all I get is a black screen with a box in the upper left corner with a magnifying glass in it, below that I see this "/data/data/com.xuecs.sqlitemanager/databases/defaultdb" The instructions I have read make absolutely no sense to me, the first step says "open settings storage" There is no way to open any thing as far as I can tell. I'm kind of lost here....Can someone help me out?
I want to update to ICS, I get an error, it downloads the file, resets the phone, when the android screen comes up the insallation bar goes about a third of the way then it stops and then it reboots, once its up and running it says "update failed" I have opened SuperOneClick and hit the unroot button, it says it was sucessful and it removes the Superuser app but the ICS OTA update still does not work. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

More detailed instructions for enabling wifi tether can be found at the following link, and I'm also pasting them here in full for anyone else curious. Note that this was the procedure for enabling everything on ICS. I'm not sure whether anything is different on Gingerbread.

Things you will need:
ES File Explorer (free from play store)
aSQLiteManager (free from play store)
1. Launch ES File Explorer and within its settings, grant it full root permissions (near the bottom of settings, go in and check all four checkboxes).
2. From ES File Explorer navigate upward out of your SD card and onto the root of your device, then go into Data/Data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases
3. Copy the "settings.db" file found there over to your SD card
4. Using aSQLiteManager select "Open Database" and pick that settings.db file on your SD card.
5. Select "settings" from the four tables you are presented with
6. Select "Data" from the top button menu
7. You'll see a long list of crap. Hit PgDn until you see line 113 "entitlement_check". Hit Edit and change the value from 1 to 0.
8. While you're here, also go to lines 117 and 118 that start with "dun" and change them both from 0 to 1. This is not necessary for Webtop but will enable wifi hotspot tethering.
9. Exit aSQLiteManager, go back into ES File Explorer and this time copy the modified "settings.db" back into the previous/original folder from Step 2, overwriting the old file.
10. Exit ES File Explorer, reboot your device and Webtop should work as expected.

I figured out what I was doing wrong, I didnt have the File Explorer at first..lol Once I did take care of things and rebooted the phone I kept getting errors that said "The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly" I hit force close and cancel both but the error would keep popping up at random times, plus other errors would pop up random apps running in the background would stop unexpectedly. Then the power button would not lock the screen anymore....The tethering worked though! I ended up doing a factory reset because the errors popped up so often the phone was useless.
I did not touch anything else but Line 150 which was the Entitlement Check line so I have no idea what went wrong.
One other thing, I would like to uprgade to ICS but since my phone is rooted I can't do it OTA, is there a way to manually do it? I remember when I upgraded to 2.3.6 I just put a file on the SD card and installed it, can I do that with ICS 4.0?

[Resolved] Unfortunately Setup wizard has been stopped [rooted devices]

This is a small guide for those who are facing problems after performing a factory reset and can't get through the process completely and end up getting error "Unfortunately Setupwizard has been stopped" and stuck with no launcher but only status bar with a limited access to some of the settings.
First of all the things you need to make sure are that:
1. You have a rooted device with superuser installed.
2. You have root explorer installed as a system app.
3. And a little patience to follow all the steps
GUIDE
1. Send yourself a sms message or from any other phone while you are on setup wizard.
2. Open the message and in tap in the reply box.
3.Once you have your cursor in the reply box hit menu soft key and select attach or if u r using galaxy phones you have a paper clip button for the attachments.
4. Choose anything you want to attach for example a picture and a box will appear asking you for the application to select the picture from. It is usually Gallery or file explorer (in your case Root Explorer). Select the root explorer.
5. In root explorer hit Mount R/O button and grant root explorer superuser permission.
6. Find in the folder system/app/setupwizard.apk and delete the apk file.
7. Reboot and Enjoy your phone again!

hi, i am having this same issue , so what should i do if the root explorer is not installed or deleted

Keyboard layout functions not working HELP?!?!?

When I go into Device>System>usr>keylayout>sec_keypad.kl I changed the funtion keys from:
key 59 MENU
key 60 HOME
to:
key 59 HOME
key 60 MENU
I then restarted the phone but there was no change to the settings. I went back to the sec_keylayout.kl file and it shows that the keys have still been changed but there is no effect to the phone at all. I've also downloaded the program called "Buttom Remapper" but the changes I make there has no effect either. I'm also looking for ways to remap the long press functions on some of the keys but I'm not sure which numbers represent those functions. I also know about "Home2shortcut" but that application only works with home buttons which this phone does not have. I also have my phone rooted but I don't know if its S-OFF or S-ON so i don't know if that could be a reason I'm having this issue. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Just checking to see if anybody has any idea on how to solve this issue?!?!? HELP???

Did you mount the system as r/w before making changes to the file? Otherwise, the changes won't stick. I use Script Manager to mount the system as r/w - edit the file- save- remount the system as r/o- exit and done. This always works for me. Also,there are a couple of good threads on here about remapping keys and alt layouts, there might be an answer there. I don't think being s-on or s-off has anything to do with your problem - I'm pretty sure that is an HTC thing and doesn't apply to Samsung devices. Perhaps your experience is already past this but I wanted to to try. Sorry, I can't be more help than that. Good luck!

Open Script Manager - select Browse as Root - choose "Always" when prompted. Next, press your Menu key - this will pop up a menu of options - choose Advanced - this will give you more selections - choose mount system as r/w - exit by pressing your Home button (leaving script manager running in the background. Now any changes you want to make can be written to the system. When done go through the options again to remount the system as r/o. This app also has a built-in text editor, so you can make and save changes from within.
Root Explorer and ES can do some of these things. I use ES to manage files sometimes but I'm not really sure about mounting and re-mounting the system. Script Manager for sure can do all this. Another option is to use terminal, either on a computer or an app on the phone. Here's a link to a guide.

Hope this solves your problem. Even if it doesn't these are still good things to know.

Ok so these are the steps I took exactly:
*Opened the Script Manager and gave it superuser permissions
* Selected the menu button and selected advanced
*selected the option that says "Mount/system as FW"
*then I went into Device>System>usr>keylayout>sec_keypad.kl in Script Manager
*Then I selected "text." But when I did that a screen popped up that read:
"you only have read permission with this file. do you want to create a local copy and edit it or open file directly"
*Then I selected "create copy" and when I did that a small Notification popped up that read:
"File RW permission denied, using a copy"
I don't know if you are getting the same notifications or screen popups as well but from what Im understand is that these popups are not good and its basically telling me that something went wrong during the mounting process. Any suggestion??
P.S. I also have a video of the steps if you would like to see

You were doing fine up until the point you selected to "create copy". At this point, you want to "open directly" so that you can edit the file. When you are done, save and your changes should stick. It would be wise to back up the original file somewhere. In case something goes wrong, you can always delete your mistake and put the original back in place.

[Completed] Play store error "no connections".

I've seen many android users facing PLAY STORE ERROR "NO CONNECTIONS".I've 2 solutios that might fix this problem.(Requires Root Permission.
1.Fist step you have to download ES File Explorerer or any root explorer.You can download it anywhere on Internet
Now open it and press the option button at the upper left corner.Then scroll down until you see ROOT EXPLORER and "ON" it.
Now go to the root directory. (/)
Open "etc" folder and scroll down untill you see "host".
Simply delete it.
Your problem solved.
2. In case if this method didn't works,create a new txt file named "host".When you rename it,it should look like this "host.txt".
Open it and a pop-up should appear.Choose Es note editor or own applicaton editor.
Again choose option bar at upper right corner and press edit.
write 127.0.0.1 localhost.
This method should end the problem.Thanks

Hi,
Not the right place for this kind of threads.
