So I found out how to Screen record on Android 7, (I'm running the developer preview), it's pretty simple, use the Google Play Games recording feature. As soon as you launch the game by tapping the record button, and when the timer starts just press the home button and there you have it, you can hit stop recording and restart it from your home screen because the floating toggle will still be there.
Hope this helps.
P.S: I'm new here, i literally just made an account on XDA, but I know this site well because of Almighty ROMs
Peace out.

Hi. I've tried searching this forum for answers and even found a thread about "all secrets" of capturing Pocket PC screens. However, I have not been able to find any information about how to video record the screen on my phone. I'm running WM6 on a HTC Hermes. I'd like to be able to video record my screen so I can do a review. Thanks!

first hit
Thanks a lot! But I'm not really sure that program works. It doesn't allow you to set the file to which the program will be captured.
Any other programs? Preferably one that isn't still in beta.
it's a google search if the first link is not good enough try the next and repeate untill you found what you are looking for or loose hope
that would most people who dident already know of a program would do for you anyway
I do appreciate your insight, but I was hoping that someone who actually knows about the subject would chime in with their expertise. Anyone can do a google search and exhaust the possible options, which I've done. Hence I've turned to this forum in hopes of finding someone that has done this and can lead me in the right direction.
i agree but the pro and cons with posting it in the general forum are
pro
more exposure so more people who may have insight can contribute
con
lots more posts in this forum then in maybe the hermes forum so your post will have a shorter time before being pushed out of the main page
Have a look at Soti it offers a video capture mode which works very well http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro - add to that the ability to skin the virtual device you can make very slick looking presentations/ screen captures - Mike
Thanks! That what I was looking for.
Here's what I had to have video for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD5zhHl4RU4 . I wanted to demonstrate the accuracy of Live Search with GPS on my Hermes.
That is a neat example of GPS in use - I like the video - Mike
cool vids...another reason to love my tytn II
Here's the idea.... Use an app that takes advantage of the front facing camera on many phones and tablets to tracking the vertical movement of the users eyes to scroll the content within the screen up and down. Yes you would run into a battery drain issues but tracking the users eyes every 3-5 seconds rather then constantly may help. Hard to say until we can test it with a beta app.
Why am I posting this here? I'm not a developer and much as I would like to be one, but I would like to post this idea (which is clearly listed as my idea) to see if a fellow developer or developers would be interested in a joint development of a possible paid app to put on the Market. Assuming this would be possible on any Android OS. If you are interested send me a message.
If this thread is against forum rules please let me know where I should have posted this. Thanks!
[Q] Useability issue? single- vs. double-click buttons in WP7 App "Device Reset"
[Note to moderator: **PLEASE** read the note at the end of this post. Thank you. Note to all: the question of this post concerns ONLY the (excellent) app called "Device Reset" for Windows Phone 7 by sh4d0w86. This app is the subject of a thread in the Windows Phone 7 Software Development forum]
App installed perfectly and performs as documented. My right thumb and left index finger thank you!!
However, I humbly ask you to consider a small change to improve the useability, at least for idiots like me (and I believe there are many, I'm afraid):
When I started the app and saw those two big beautiful square buttons, I immediately clicked on the first one ("restart"). The feedback clearly showed me that the button-press was received. Then .... nothing. Nothing happened. It seemed so weird to me. So I tried a second time. Same result: nothing. I then pressed the "power off" button. Again, the button-pressed was clearly registered, but nothing happened. Thinking that "obviously" the problem was with me, I pressed each of the two buttons about 5-10 times, slowly and clearly, hoping that the little man inside the application would wake up and hear me. But the app just did nothing. Exceedingly confusing and frustrating.
I actually read the entire thread through THREE times before I noticed the little word "double" next to the word "click" and understood my problem. And of course, double-clicking the buttons works just fine, as per the instructions.
I certainly understand why you might want to insist on a double-click in this situation. In that case, may I humbly suggest that you add just that tiny part of the "user manual" to the button or its surroundings? For example, you might just replace the text "soft reset" with the phrase "double-click to soft reset," or replace the word "restart" with the phrase "double-click to restart." I don't want to dictate anything -- I actually really like the huge sparse text in what you have. But the fact is that it took me an extra 15-30 minutes, plus wading through an entire thread, to figure out how to use your app.
An alternative might be to avoid giving the graphical feedback (the color inversion) when I press the buttons. A single button press doesn't mean anything, and the feedback (which displays for the entire time the user has his finger on the button) really does suggest that a single button-press is a complete action, while it's not.
However, if you did that, I claim you'd **still** need to put something in the UI to tell the user that s/he needs to double-click. So my vote would be to do my first suggestion; if you have time to spare, it would be nice to have the graphical feedback display WHEN and ONLY WHEN the user finishes a complete double-click. If the user needs to double click to make it happen, then a single-click shouldn't bring any reward to the user.
Again, thanks for an excellent app.
[NB: this post would be much more appropriate for the thread
[APP] Device Reset -[R]- 21 Jan 12 -- 13 Mar 12 -[V]- 2.0.0.0 [TRANSLATORS WANTED]
of the forum "Windows Phone 7 Software Development", which is devoted to the excellent app "Device Reset" by sh4d0w86. Alas, I am but a newbie, and when I tried to post to that thread I was instructed that I "must go to the Q&A or General Forum" to post anything. Of the two possibilites, the Q&A forum seemed to me to the be the least inappropriate. If you are a moderator, perhaps you can transfer this post to that thread, and (if possible) allow me to post to that thread only, should I receive any request to follow up. Thank you]
first, let me say, glad you found my application useful.
second, thank you for the feedback.
the reason i made it a double tap to execute the button's action was because i added the ability to pin a tile. i originally had it one press, but had run into problems when adding the pin function. as soon as you touched the button, the action executed. thought i could solve it by having the action only execute when releasing the button, but would still execute after holding to pin the tile. so, i changed it to a double click, to solve the issue.
will add a how-to of sort to either the Device Reset thread or the actual application to hopefully avoid this issue with others.
regards,
sh4d0w86
One bump or two?
I definitely agree with the decision to use a double-tap. A single-tap is just to easy to do by accident, and the user might really not want to do a hard shutdown by accident. If you did a single-tap, you'd probably end up adding an "are you really sure you want to do this?" dialog box -- and "are you really sure?" dialog boxes are among the most annoying things that computers do to people.
I hope you'll find a way to add the words to the app itself without breaking your aesthetic sense. Surely you wouldn't be happy to think that someone has to actually "read a manual" in order to use your app (whether the manual is in a thread here or anywhere else)? And how do you intend to make him aware of the note in the thread anyway? Oh I see: you could add to your app a phrase like: "Please see the thread in xda-developers for instructions on the proper way to press the button below." Not exactly a better solution.
Best,
Scott
Hello,
I was trying to develop a full screen application on Android CM9 for a Galaxy Tab 7" P1000 with the 20120407 build and HumberOS Kernel 20120325.
It appears that only shadow mode applications can be run in full screen (without combined bar).
As I am new and cannot post on developer sections, I am posting this there.
I looked in different sections (GTab specific, Android dev specific, other devices...) but could not find an answer :
What is a shadow mode Android application?
Well, another day in ignorance.
A bump for hope.
Well, if no answer in 10 bumps at least I will be able to post in an appropriate section.
I believe this is related to the screen and the softbuttons and hiding them and making apps go full fullscreen (lol).
This is just an educated guess though...
Well, at least an answer.
I knew that already because it is the purpose of my question but thanks anyway.
As for doing it, I put >> android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" << in my Android activity definition but this is not sufficient, that is why I was asking what is a shadow mode app.
Some people on the forum stated that only those apps could hide the soft buttons if along with it the correct option was checked in the parameters (and of course I checked it).
I tried some other application styles but none of them happened to put the activity in real full screen, without soft buttons.
I am going to check again and see if someone asked it in the past days!
Will keep you informed...
I know MX Video player can do it, maybe you can ask the dev if he can help you out?

Hey Druvdave,
You will be pleased to know that we are already working on the download option and it will be available on the upcoming update. Regarding the quality selection, it's already there in our roadmap and will be supported in the near future.
About locking the screen, the existing locking techniques are no longer sufficient due to the security restrictions on the newer android versions. So, we are actively researching on the possible solutions without any additional permissions. so we may not be able to provide any ETAs at the moment.
Online section disappears
Why online section in m x player disappears sometimes. I dont understand how does it come back. How to bring online section back?
