CarlivScreenshot is a tool to take screenshots through ADB from you phone or tablet.
The original ideea and starting script was published by majdinj here.
I wrote again the script for windows, I ported that to linux too and added a menu driven interface.
I built the fb2png module from Phil3759's recovery repo and used the adb from latest android sdk. For android screenshots this uses same builtin "screencap" feature as majdinj's utility uses. I made though some changes to recovery section, based on infos posted on this thread.
Requirements:
- USB debugging activated in your device.
- Make sure you can connect to your device through ADB ( Check to see if you can run "adb shell cat proc/emmc" or other adb commands "adb devices" or "adb get-state").
* If in android you can't use the tool because adb can't acces the screencap utility, install adb_insecure apk from chainfire (but that needs to have root).
Why?
I needed a utility to take screenshots in linux, for my recovery, and I couldn't find anything. Of course there are few threads explaining how to do it with commands prompt using ffmpeg, but that never worked for my phone - it worked though the makers_mark's utility in windows (only by selecting both framebuffers because sometime was on upper the good one, sometime on lower), and the majdinj utility. I liked his ideea better and so I decided to port it to Linux in bash.
Credits:
- majdinj for the initial script.
- Kyan.ql, Phil3759 and McKael for the fb2png source and hints (found on their posts).
The tool was tested in JB (android 4.2.2) and Kitkat (android 4.4.2) and worked flawless both in windows and linux (ubuntu).
Check post #2 for Linux version and post #3 for Windows version.

CarlivScreeshot Linux version
To start it just double click on screenshots script (Linux) then choose "Run in terminal" from dialog box.
Attached are few screenshots made with it.

CarlivScreeshot Windows version
To start it just double click on screenshots.bat script (windows).
Attached are few screenshots made with it.

Sure, thanks man. I'm glad you liked also the updates on my Image Kitchen
As I said I needed a tool like this for linux but I couldn't find it so... I made it
And if it was good for linux I wanted same thing for windows too..
Lot of work though..

Recovery ScreenShot Tool:
Yes Sir, its A Clean & Fast Tool... Previously i Was Using Makers_Mark's Recovery Screenshot Capturing Tool Which Served Me Well For The Same Purpose But Your Tool is Light Weight And Faster Than Any Other Tool (Y) Thanks
Image Kitchen Tool:
Honestly Speaking, The GUI Version is Good For UnPacking/RePacking Two Or Three IMGs, But For More, i Will Be Using Non-GUI Version v0.5 With Drag And Drop Support Because Of My Laziness i am Hoping To See More Updates in Future For Non-GUI Version Too O

Well I prefer the menu version, but that's just my oppinion, and I don't think the drag&drop is much easier I drop all my images in correspondig folder and then start to unpack (this was the biggest challenge to make that menu list load al files from folder automatically both in batch and bash, because I wanted a simple way... in the end I managed to do it as I wanted). Ah, and as you may have seen, it's portable: it can run even from a flash drive because there are no special requests for partition.
But I was thinking that not everybody may like the menu version and I kept the version 0.5 for those people - and I intend to keep it along with the other one, and any update in scripts or modules will be applied to that too.

i Also Do The Same, i Know What Happens With Drag And Drop When We Have More Than 50 IMGs And Their Unpacked Folders in The WorkDir... LOL
BTW i Was Thinking To Mod Your Drag And Drop Tool So That it Can Be Used From Right Click Menu, This Way it Can Save Us From Scrolling Up And Down Again And Again Just To Drop That IMG/Folder On UnPacking/RePacking Script...

About right click I don't think that modding the script will do the job... I guess you have two options for that: one to modify registries or the second (easy) one to place a shortcut for that script in already existent "Send To" menu then click right on your image or folder "Send To" -> the shortcut.
It will work like this.
From now on, if there is more on this, let's move the discussion on the Kitchen thread, because here is offtopic
Cheers!

Thanks for this works great, Linux version.

Works fine!:highfive: Thanks @carliv for this useful tool :good:

So Your Nexus is really unconnected or is something wrong with your ADB.
If you type in windows cdm "adb devices", what you see?

Yes its your bad. It works from any place on pc(desktop too), you prapobly have no adb tool directory in system path. You should.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html said:
The primary tools/ directory is located at the root of the SDK folder. Adding tools to your path lets you run Android Debug Bridge (adb) and the other command line tools without needing to supply the full path to the tools directory.
- On Linux, edit your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file. Look for a line that sets the PATH environment variable and add the full path to the tools/ directory to it. If you don't see a line setting the path, you can add one:
export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/tools
- On a Mac OS X, look in your home directory for .bash_profile and proceed as for Linux. You can create the .bash_profile if you haven't already set one up on your machine.
- On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ directory to the path.

Touch Developer Preview Release Notes
General:
This is very alpha version of Ubuntu Touch. IT'S NOT READY FOR DAILY DRIVER. This is mainly for those curious souls like me to see how it runs on this relatively old device. There are and will be bugs.

local manifest
Changelogs:
None
Not working:
Apparently calls work in some degree
Data/3G
Camera
Screen on/off is a bit buggy (there's no timeout etc.)
Sound
If you plan to install more apps, space is a bit limited as it's using phone's internal memory instead of sdcard ext4 partition hack. There's approx. 200MB free in /data after extracting Ubuntu's rootfs.
Everything that I forgot / haven't noticed.
Prerequisites:
Have at least 1GB free on your sdcard prior flashing.
Have some experience at tinkering with your device. I won't be giving further step-by-step guidance as this is experimental thing, be a little experimental yourself.
7Zip and notepad++ (or equivalents) for updates from Ubuntu's mirror
Fresh installation instructions:
Want latest rootfs? Go to update instructions.
Download quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip
Download quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-20130303.zip
Download ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Put the files on sdcard.
Check that you meet the sdcard free space requirements.
Reboot to recovery.
Do factory reset (ie. format /data, /cache, /sd-ext and /sdcard/.android_secure)
Flash quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip
Flash quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-20130303.zip (this will take a while due two large extracting tasks)
Flash ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Reboot and enjoy.
Update installation instructions:
Download latest quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-XXXXXXXX.zip (optional if you are just updating Ubuntu rootfs)
Download latest quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
Download ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Open quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip with 7zip and go to META-INF\com\google\android\
Right-click updater-script and click Edit (make sure you have proper editor set as default, e.g. notepad++).
Do these changes to the script file: https://gist.github.com/Mustaavalkosta/5123952 (make sure you have correct timestamp instead of leaving XXXXXXXX in it) and save the file.
Close the editor and 7zip should ask you if you want to update the file in the zip. Of course select yes.
Put the files on sdcard.
Check that you meet the sdcard free space requirements.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-XXXXXXXX.zip (optional if you are just updating Ubuntu rootfs)
Flash quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip (this will take a while due two large extracting tasks)
Flash ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Reboot and enjoy.
Removal instructions:
Reboot to recovery
Restore nandroid or do factory reset and flash whatever you want.

Q&A:
Q: Can I flash KangBang perfomance kernel or some other kernel?
A: No, unless it includes required kernel changes.
Q: How can I build Ubuntu Touch myself?
A: Follow Ubuntu's guide and apply my local_manifest. Then just fix quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip's updater-script (see update instructions above) and you are good to go.
Q: How do I shutdown the device?
A: Pressing power button continuously for couple of seconds seems to switch it off but since there's zero userspace feedback about this happening I prefer the options below from Ubuntu's wiki.
Currently the power button does not work with recent kernels, so one of the following options must be run:
remove the battery and replace it
run adb reboot (will obviously reboot, not shutdown)
run "reboot -p" from the adb shell
Code:
adb root
*unplug the cable and replug it*
adb shell reboot -p
Q: Something about something something something.
A: Ask the guy/gal next to you.
i just tried thison my HTC One X+ and it looks and feels really good. Fast and responsive! I hope that the same goes for my baby (DHD/I4G).
I look forward to to try it! Thaaaaanks!
Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]
Will try it. Thak you for the effort you make for us DHD users. I hope this will become daily driver some day.

I just got wifi to work. You can add /system/etc/init.d/21bcmdhd script with something like "modprobe bcmdhd" in it or wait for me to upload updated build on top of the current one and reflash. I'll add edit to this post when it's available for download.
Edit: Re-upload done on quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip. Just reflash it and you should have working wifi.
I do not believe it, but it works!
It is true that slow, slipped on the keyboard, but it works!
Although yet to issue a sound: D
Can I see a screen shots and some videos of this ROM
This is a dev preview so you'll get limited features, no music player, lack of customization of some widgets/apps etc.
wow seems promising.... reserved for the future
Wow!
Really nice!
Good to try
Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]
Never thought this would be comming
Wow! Thanks to the devs for porting this to our device! Now we just have to wait for the usable version/release in a "couple of weeks"... :fingers-crossed:
Well... I tested it. There seems to be a lot that's not working, but the basic interface works just fine. Nice to be able to try out the gestures and interface.

Try more like a couple of months since that is the time that the devs of the Ubuntu said it would take to get it fully working and then the devs for our DHD can have a go at it. Until then this is just a dev preview.
Also, very nice to see this OS ported to our device in such an early stage. Thanks Mustaavalkosta, hope you assemble a good team once this OS is out of development stage and I wish you have success in getting it to work on the DHD. :good::fingers-crossed:
i really want to see this on one s... -=D

doesnt seem to work with me - it cant establish an adb connection with my phone
no problems using other adb tools
if I run adb devices from a cmd promp it detects my phone
also each time I run the program it asks me to keep replacing files then it brings up an error about adb files (but these files are in the folder)
iv attached screenshots
edit
ok so iv done some more testing - turns out this app wont work if you have an adb emulator installed - for example if you have bluestacks installed make sure you end task it or exit the programme before running this else it wont work as it will get confused between the physical adb device and the emulator
Still get the error messages about files and asking to replace files at each start up
once I disabled the emulator it works fine in terms of connection however the screen shot feature I still cant seem to make work
It now says it has successfully taken a screenshot but the screenshot is not in the folder
edit again - ok so you put the screenshot bug in your pdf file as a bug but it would be helpful if you actually put the bugs on the op of this thread
Your screenshot prog looks just like ADB ScreenCapture by majdinj xda - it gives exactly the same read outs
The android screen monitor is basically a copy of droidATScreen which I have put in the attachment however droidAtScreen can also take screenshots and continuous screenshots too
Well Done!! GONNA TRY THIS.
Great work
gonna try this good work
@marcussmith2626
You are not typing "x" to exit. So integrated cleanup is not executed. So you get that overwrite error.
Now delete all files (except toolkit exe and readme) and try again.
I ask you to go through Readme file which explains bugs and why they are in programme.
My programme is much similar to majdini's because ff2png (file used to take screenshot in recovery) used by him and me is taken from same source (GPLv2 licenced).
Also screenshot terminal command is universal for all androids.
I didn't knew about majdini's programme. But when you mentioned it, I checked his one. My commands are differently expressed (commands same as explained above, but code is different). If you use his code sometimes there is error.
But my code does not give error in batch format.
(but problem is after exe conversion, this has a bug. Check readme for more info).

Cant download. New link please
Edit : Nope, it can now
But, why i can't do live capture ? after re-open this app ? I just can do it when first open it

to aviod the error of the adb files you have to run program as administrator
you should include run as admin in your exe file in future builds
Sorry bro, real bad CMD to EXE converter you use, I could easily find your .bat file here:

as far as your ADB device select is concerned use the command (adb.exe -d) this will direct the adb to the first USB ANDROID ADB Device
and I would like to know Setup program you used...

[UTIL][WIN]I Don't Want You! || Get rid of unwanted mods || No data loss || No backup

Hi guys,
Have you ever installed a mod without making a backup before? Did the mod break your system or was not working the way you expected? The only way to recover the system to the previous state was to restore an old backup and loose all new data.
Thanks to my mod, this won't happen again! I present to you "I Don't Want You!".
It means NO NEED TO ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING A MOD!
How it works?
It creates update.zip containing apps changed by mod in comparison to stock system and deleting files added by the mod to our system.
What it does?
-creates update.zip
-signs the zip
-Additionally: pulls /system from the device (using adb) (you need to do that once before installing mods instead of unpacking system manually form FTF/.zip file)
Requirements:
-Windows
-.NET Framework 4.5 or higher
-files installed/changed by mod (the content of mod's .zip file without META-INF)
-Recovery installed on your Android device
-Rooted android device
-Java
Compatibility:
Every device and every Android build!
It does not fully support mods with AROMA Installer
Currently It works only with mods influencing /system.

Would you like a port of it?
Can the update.zip be flashed with stock recovery?
(Probably not, but I don't have my PC around to check )

Update.zip made by my tool should work on all recoverys using edify language. Please provide me an example of flashable zip for your recovery and I will check.
If It comes to porting the tool for linux, I need help in that matter as far as I am not using Linux and I haven't made any program for that system yet. Of course I will provide source code. Please contact me via PM. However you can try opening the tool with Wine. The ADB wont work but you can copy your /system manually and provide path to it in program.

Great job man!
Would you mind to put up kind of a noob tutorial with a brief description/explanation of what each option would exactly do?
...dont need to explain what the option "EXIT" will do though! Lol

Crashed
Looks like it copied /system but then failed at the last minute
Like jshare, crashed in last minute!
crashes during cleaning up process.....maybe add code to kill ADB and restart it before cleaning
@Vagelis1608
It should work
@ChazzMatt
Of course it doesn't! Currently it works only with /system mods.
@RMarques
The only options you need is:
1. For pulling system from your phone
2. To make update.zip (all other options are included in this one)
@jshare @Limac @Manvindar
Yeah, I forgot to add line for killing "adb" process in latest version, because I slightly rearranged whole code. I will upload fixed version in 10 min
UPDATE
I have uploaded fixed version!

Hello all!
Today I present you F2I converter. This tool can convert system folder back to ext4 image format suitable for flashtools without cygwin.
Basically, this tool was made in keeping mind the format used by lollipop structure where dat files were converted to ext4 format and then unpacked, repacking them was kind of hard (or lazy to do so in my case) as it required linux or Cygwin [Based on Xpirt's Guide. Now I've always preferred a way to avoid linux and cygwin
I managed to put together a set of tools that can easily convert the extracted system folder back to img for flashing and in lollipop can be converted back to dat format on windows.
So this is what this tool is capable of! If you on lollipop and want @xpirt guide to do so then here it is - [HOW TO] Lollipop DAT files | Compression and Decompression
FEATURES
• Supports all Android Versions
• Works without Linux or cygwin
• Generates Log that help to troubleshoot the issues
• No extra software required (Except Git for Windows)
• Supports both way conversion
• Suggest more features
• Much more to come!
HOW TO USE
You need GIT for windows to run this tool. Kindly download and install GIT from HERE
Now install GIT and when you're done download F2I converter and extract it in core C: directory. There will be a folder names as "IMG_WIN" kindly make sure it is extracted in C:
Recommended GIT is v 1.9.4 or newer.
Mostly everything is self-explanatory in the tool but when you will convert "SYSTEM" folder back to "EXT4 img" format you will be asked to enter size in bytes.
Here is what you are asked to do..
1) Open the system.img inside the respective folder you're working on and then right click on it and click Properties
2) In General tab you'll see something like this
Now copy the highlighted part and paste in the box shown below in image
Now you can continue. Ahead

BUGS
This tool is in BETA phase so you are likely to face some bugs. Though I have paid a lot of attention while creating this tool but you may encounter some small code errors (like path not found etc) I request you to kindly see for yourself and correct it.
You are likely to face this error mostly though
Code:
error in bla bla bla ..... failed to allocate block [NUMBERS] out of space?
If you encounter something like this then it will not work with your files. This will occur mostly in Android 2.3.x-4.4.x and in some cases with 5.0 and 5.1
I am trying to fix this issue. Please co-operate
Rest no major bug.

i've tried this. see the screenshot. i find only 2 files to copy back to my rom zip.
what about "file_contexts"? can/should the original be retained?
large size difference between original "system.transfer.list" and modified one ok?
Doesn't work for me. I'm unable to find system.img. So I downloaded "sda2img.exe" and I made system.img with it. Then, when I try to recompress system folder in DAT format, there is this problem ( see the screenshot ).
Then I noted that after using it, in "Working_Do_Not_Touch", system.transfer.list and system.new.dat get losts.

Thanks for trying out the tool. You must use same file_contexts
As per your issue sir thing is the output is cleaned up and no file is left back. I request you to try the size from xpirts post on this. Kindly check that and reply back.
[system_new.img?]
Any ideas on how to fix this:
When I try repacking [system folder] back to [system.new.dat] the program throws an error : File not found -- system_new.img
