It depend about your phone specification, like model, graphic card (with or without Tegra 2/3), OS and other..
That i know, you can record trough app that you can install on your phone or trough pc, with usb cable.
When you will find the app, make sure that USB debugging mode is ACTIVATED.
I'm sorry, but i don't know more about specifically software =\
But Google is our god man :laugh:
I found something, but i still can't post links for the 10 post rule.
Maybe contact me on MP
Have a nice day! (and sorry for my bad english)

I used Screencast Video Recorder to make a gameplay video of my app.
There's a free demo version too, if you wanna try.

capturing in realtime won`t slow down your device? if you want to make it goof, i would buy a device with HDMI out and then record it with a capture card or something.

[Q] screencast not working properly (black screen/no movement) (rooted phone)

i tried to find the answer to this one but i couldn't so here is my question
today i rooted by brand new galaxy note 10.1 for the purpose of using the app called screencast to record games i bought screencast and tried to record with it in gta 3 it wen't by with absolutely no lag in the game
when i go to check the video all i see is going from the screencast app to the menu which is frozen then it goes black
it did not recording anything at all just one picture of the menu rest black with sound
i have tried different recording resolutions normal and high
different fps 10 30 and 40
still completely black
i tried to record just going through the menu (swiping back and forth in those transparent windows) which recording
and it litterally is just frozen i tried the benchmark and it shows 34 fps at highest possible recording settings
this video shows amazing recording with this program but i can't use it at all it just records the menu screen frozen then changes to a black screen with the bar in the bottom as i start a application
/watch?v=APcx6DVsOAw
i am running jellybean 4.1.1
edit it now records the menus properly after i used the screencast gadget but it still goes to black when starting gta 3
JB could be the problem, it might not be JB compatible yet. Best bet would be to contact the developer and leave feedback...

can i easily revert back to the former operating system? and then re root? i backed it all up through the clockwork recovery menu
are my apps synced to my account or will i lose them if i wipe the tablet?
Go into screencast in the android market and look in the app description you will see a link for app support. They should be able to tell you if the problem is jelly bean or a bug in the app. Best to look there before you go reverting back to ics.

sadly time is not something i have i bought this for one purpose to record vice city gameplay on android try to be first
i am a youtube partner so i wanted to try something new
the game releases in 6 days
and i think i failed
i asked someone on youtube he said this
on my sgn 10.1 This program works with the same errors can it is because of the screen size. because this program works fine on jb samsung galaxy note 2
so yeah perhaps this program won't work at all with a tablet which means well :crying:
i could have bought the note 2 for the same money i would get a nice light phone to record i even need a phone always wanted a smartphone but no instead i had to pick a tablet something i have absolutely no use for other then what i had planned i don't know what to do right now the tablet is good but the screen is too low res for me it is too heavy and too bulky i have absolutely no use for it the blacklevel on the screen is simply bad makes for watching movies not a great experience so yeah if i can't record a video as planned then i will have no use for it i like how strong it is i tried recording with screencast and there was no lag in the game at all absolutely lag free wheather it was actually recording or not is unknown too me but if it was then it's a very strong tablet
and i don't think i can properly sell it either it has been rooted and tons of information is on it and i don't think you can delete that information to 100% before selling it atleast i have not peeled off the back protection layer this is really awful

I am having the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-N8000.
There is a workaround which might help you with what you are planning to do.
You can try using Bluestacks in full screen mode on your computer and you can run GTA 3 android game there. To record the gameplay, you can use Camtasia which works perfectly fine on laptop and desktop computers and is far efficient than Screencast. This is just a workaround to make the things happen. . Hope this would help you.
I don't know if you post a reply here I would get a notification in my mailbot, but I would really love to assist you in sorting out this issue with you if you are interested. You can email me anytime you want. (Hope I am not violating any rules by asking someone to contact me directly. I am new here.)
Here's my issue with Screencast.
I tried using Screencast to record a gameplay which it didn't.
At first I thought there might be some issue with the game itself.
Then I bought Remote Desktop Client app from Google Play, started Screencast to capture the screen, 'remote-desktoped' my Windows 7 computer from my N8000 through Wi-Fi on the Local Area Network.
Screencast only captured the movements till the Windows 7 console appeared. After that the recording continued but movements were not captured. Screencast started capturing the movements once again after I closed the console of Windows 7.
When I played the recorded file, the screen freezed right after the console of Windows 7 appeared and the movie continued to play. The activity was seen in the movie after the Windows 7 console was closed.
Looking for some solutions but no luck yet.
And the funny thing is that when I rotated the Tab, and the screen layout changed from landscape to portrait or portrait to landscape, that rotation was recorded without any issues and was seen in the move. A big LOL.

Alternate solution: If you are rooted, you can use screen cast to record your screen directly. Or use HDMI output to record on another device, which should work independent of the tablet.

Whats the difference between this app and "screen mirroing " of chromecast apk

Differences are :
Chromecast mirroring is only one of the features of this app (you can also mirror to many other kind of target devices, broadcast to Internet, and record)
Official Chromecast mirroring gives better latency
It's works for some devices for which Chromecast mirroring is not possible with Google's app
You can choose to stream with internal audio OR microphone audio OR both
You can change many settings such framerate, bitrate, and resolution to tweak quality
Software encoding provides many live video effects
probably few other differences but I think I told you most important
VLC
VLC crashes after I change the screen orientation. How to fix this?
Everything is ok. I was using old version of VLC, after updating it works properly. Sorry.
great ! Yes I was just about to tell you to update to the last VLC version. They handle rotation properly now...
Galaxy s5 audio issues
I am able to stream my screen to xbmc and chrome. However, no matter what I do I am unable to get the internal audio to stream. I am using Moar Rom 6.2 lolipop galaxy s5. Is there something I could do to get this app to work with audio?

It might be because of the ROM you are using, but I am not sure.
I'll try to check if this is a problem related to this device, but it would be great to know if it is the same with Samsung's Lollipop ROM...
I can only get it to have Su access like 1 out of 8 times. But Su actually grants access evertime it just seems the app doesn't know. Then when it does work I can't get it to actually stream to twitch. It just says "Mirroring is paused" when I press play. Then if I press stop it automatically goes back to the opening screen giving me instructions for if i'm not rooted or Android 5.0.

Hi Sloosh,
In the quest of helping you fix this problem , I will send all the details of the device . My device android version is 4.1.2 and its on a samsung camera s3 . For what i saw , I needed the code to run it on root that you guys provided(start service.sh) .I think the problem lands on the class you used for the recording on the application . Once it starts the screen recording and the camera app at the same time there could be a conflict on the class or the resources.
*Updated my app
I did all the process and at the end when i open the camera app it looks like it works well. When i see the video the video is just damaged , it doesn't play the full video and stops each 3 seconds . I have to play it again and again and the camera part doesn't show .
I would like to help you more but the Screen Stream app is driving me crazy . With all the bugs and the publicity it takes me like 5 minutes to run the application . If i want to use it again the next day, I have to run startservice.sh again.

Hi, I'm having issues with the audio, if I have it set to internal and enable it to play on my device as well it will echo really bad on the stream (using it to stream on Twitch). Its not so bad if I don't have it play on my device, but I really like to have it play on my phone as well when playing a game.

Camera uses a lot of things, it might also be an opengl issue because it uses opengl for video effects.
So if I understand well now the camera works well, but you have troubles with recording a good video file, is it correct ?
If so, can you please let me know the settings you are using ?
Have you tried to enable hardware encoding option ? It should be disabled by default with your device because it is running Android 4.1, this is a quite old Android version now and causes some troubles...

What do you mean by it will "echo really bad on the stream" ? Do you mean it cuts audio or produces scratches on the stream side ?

On the stream side, it sounds like its playing the audio twice, one is faint but you can for sure hear it. It almost sounds like it my phones microphone picking it up, but I do not have it set to mic/internal (mixed), I only have it set to Internal and then check the "keep on phone" option. If I do not have that option selected it works fine.

How to record videos without stopping music play

Hello, as you all know recording a video stops any music reproduction.
I found a post about using Instagram and Snapchat to get around the problem, but I don't want to use any of those two. And since I don't think it's possible to do that from the default camera app, do you know of any third-party ones that allow to do that?
Cheers
wow !!!!such a important question!

What you are looking for is an option to record video from your phone while capturing "internal audio". The only options that I know of require connecting an android device to PC and using the PC to capture video along with the audio. There are no android apps that allow this that I know of unless you have android 10, android 10 can supposedly use the ADV Screen recorder app..

Yeah, it kinda is. Since the issue's always been around and I'm sure a lot of people other than myself find it quite bothering. And as such, it deserves to be discussed on a forum dedicated to making the most out of our devices. But thanks for checking in!
