Are you looking for an app to record your Android screen?
Do you want to record a screencast?
Here’s how to do it with a very nice app and few tips.
http://techcookies.net/how-to-record-your-android-screen-to-create-a-screencast/
Will try this, could be really handy. Thank you.
EDIT: Got 2 FC when started recording, tried to change settings but now the app won't start at all.
I'll send a bug report but I'm assuming it's nothing related to the app itself but with the latest CM10.2 (4.3) I installed.
Will keep trying and posting here any advance. Thank you!
Hi,
Can you check it now?
The author just release a new version today.

Nope, but I'm pretty sure it's a rom issue. I recently found out it still has some problems related to video, so I will try again the SCR as soon it gets solved. Thank you!

Hi,
I'm trying now on Android 4.3 and it's working fine.
Have you tried to change resolution in the settings?
It maybe need to use a lower resolution to record.
Let me know!

[...] But as far as I saw it, it's for now a stock feature for Nexus eG that is broken on most ROMs. But you could give it a try... [...]

Is there a feature to record the sound while recording the screen?
That would be very nice for tutorials

Well, the app seems to work for me on ART. It should work for you as well, I would suggest back up the TWC app with an app like Rom toolbox lite, (it should do back-ups without root), uninstall twc and restore the back up. It sometimes resolves crashes issues with some apps for me.
You are welcome to root your device and will find more solutions. so far, very safe to root nexus 5.

I tried everything and still no luck. I will leave it alone for now. I don't want to root the phone. I feel that every time I root a phone it goes down to ****. Reliability, GPS, pictures everything sucks. I will change my cable company but not root any more.

Your hesitation is not unwarranted, but it is incredibly easy to root a Nexus 5. I'd check with others in the community for the app and see if anyone else is experiencing issues.

If you do want to root it, that's how you would do it. I never endorsed rooting though, since I think that in this case, if you just provided a bit more info, we could work it out without the potential of wiping all the data.
Have you tried completely uninstalling the app and any others that may conflict with it?

Hi there,
Recently i've updated my Nexus 5 to Android 4.4.3. (from stock 4.4.2 rooted)
Every time after updating to 4.4.3 my camera sound is horrible (like it's recording underwater).
I've used zip files (after wiping) to flash without any succes.
When i used my backup of 4.4.2 the problem was gone again. So the hardware isn't broken or anything.
Now i've sideloaded the official factory image (4.4.3) after a full wipe and still the problem exists.
How is this even possible? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for helping in advance
PS: i've contacted Google but their e-mail in bad translation didn't help me. They told me to do a factory reset lol

Thanks for your reply man! I really thought i screwed up my phone somehow without knowing it.
Do you know by any chance if there is a way to fix this? This topic was hard to google/search since I only got stuff about the previous camera bug. Or maybe my "tech English" isn't sufficient.
The issue is ongoing. We thought 4.4.3 was going to fix it but evidently not. There are no other real fixes

I never had this issue on previous android versions and I've had my Nexus shortly after the release. I honestly think this is a new bug but I could be wrong.
If there are no fixes I need a new phone or my money back.

The noise cancellation bug has been around since day 1, when I got my N5. Not everyone notices because it acts differently depending on the environment the videos are recording in. It also effects calls.
There's no fix right now. Try and get your money back if you like.

Yes, this is new bug, no discussion. I've made more than thousand vids with my N5 so I'm familiar with "old" sound bug, but this new one wich came with 4.4.3 is much worse than issue from previous one and make my Nexus completly useless as camera.. It sounds like underwater.

It's the same bug alright. I have no doubt. Perhaps it sounds different to you on your phone because they made it worse.
I can say with a strong degree of certainty that it is the same bug though, because the "old" bug you refer to was due to a poor noise cancellation issue. This bug went away for me when I fitted a slickwraps skin that covers my noise cancellation mic. ...and after upgrading to 4.4.3, I still don't have any issues whilst that secondary microphone is covered. My videos are as expected.

It's much worse that it was.. As I said, my Nexus is now useless as digital camera.. Or it was useless, because I've flashed 4.4.2 again.

So this bug is there since the beginning? How is it possible that multiple users experience the same problem after updating to 4.4.3?
I think it's a similar bug, but new.
Going to flash 4.4.2 again cause I need my camera.
I've sent another email to Google. I'll put the reply here.
Thanks for all the replies everyone! Hope someone finds a solution.

It's the same bug but worse. @zaykos shared with me one of his videos and I can confirm it sounds the same as pre-4.4.3 video's I've seen. It's not a new bug.

But how come it wasn't there on my 4.4.2 or as you described it, wasn't hearable?
I am a music producer. I always use my phone to film my latest creations to send them to friends via whatsapp. Never had any issues. First was good, now it's absolutely useless. I film exactly from the same spot in my studio. There should be a way around to get the sound back from 4.4.2 right? Some custom rom or whatever?
Thanks for all your answers man!

Video camera
Been using Liquidsmooth for the past couple of days and I've been getting decent battery life and 95% of the apps I've tried have worked great. I'm seriously considering this for my daily driver. The only thing is the camera. Open camera or other camera apps on play can take pictures, but they can't take video. The apps throw error messages like "this mode isn't supported" when changing bit rate or frame rate or resolution. Basically it seems the app is unable to get any information about the physical video camera from the OS.

I seem to be having camera and WiFi issues. For camera, I can't use apps like Google translate. I get an error "camera has stopped' and it FC's. As for WiFi, it has trouble turning on and off. I usually have to restart my phone, otherwise it says " turning on/off WiFi" forever.
You have to use Open Camera to take pictures, sorry video doesn't work some say vivavideo works. As for wifi don't turn it off and when connecting to a new network hold the wifi notifications toggle and wait for it to connect.

Noticing some things that are causing battery drain. When I look at the Battery usage the apps or services with the highest usage are things like Google Play Store or Browser and Bluetooth. Turning off bluetooth stopped that. I had to Force Stop the Browser and Google Play Store. They both had 'Mobile radio active' times above 2h 30m even though I only had maybe 20 minutes of screen time. I did download an app that took about 30 seconds though. Something about the apps are keeping the mobile radio services going.

I found this alleviated all of my signal problems as well as speed up my data tremendously.
I used this on kitkat but it seems to have much more noticeable effects on lollipop.

I have to link it because it doesn't show up in play store searches for some reason.
Attempting to use the phone while connected to my car bluetooth doesn't use the bluetooth connection for sound or mic. The bluetooth is connected and it says Phone and Media audio are both available. The phone becomes unresponsive and eventually asks if I want to wait or stop.
I have TW4.4 NE1 on my phone. Does that prevent me from upgrading to 5.X?
I know once you go 4.3/4.4 you can't go back....wondering if the same goes for going forward.

Do I still need to use Safestrap or can I flash it just like any other ROM?
-I hate question and answer threads, but I understand and appreciate their purpose. To that end. I must ask. Is 01-29-15 the latest build. If not where could I find those. I've looked so far on android file host and drdevs and g+ liquid.
I'm running 01-29-15 and I don't think people are getting my messages. SMS. Calls go out fine. I use selectel so it could be something with that. I hope I backed up everything I needed. and did a nvbackup.
Sorry if this has been asked, even sorrier if it's been repeatedly asked, but I do search both liquid threads and the other sites to be fair..
EDIT:
SMS works for me. Sorry about that but couldn't get anyone to reply back quick enough. I have settings turned on to get delivery receipts and to use a "dark" theme, Nether are working. Is this an issue.. And Please don't think I'm *****ing. I know this is early still in the ballgame and we're lucky honestly to have something this nice up and running. And to have a couple choices
Now on to the question of where to find the latest builds.
Thanks again

Yes 1-29 is the newest. LiquidSmooth is being rebased from CM 12 to Slim-caf so that Layers will work 100%, so I cannot build until that is done☺. Sorry for any inconvenience. New builds hopefully Monday.

You are absolutely correct. If running safestrap your bootloader is locked down. If you attempt to run anything other than touchwiz BL roms you will brick the phone
