Is it the same app as this one : Screenshot Ultimate ?
It seems that the presentation in googleplay are equivallent and it is the same seller !
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.screenshotultimate&hl=fr
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.screenshotnow
It is not clear if the application does work for unrooted devices without the need during the screenshot to connect the device to a PC
This test (in FAQ) is very strange, if something is installed in the smartphone it should be explained clearly.
The auto detecting didn’t find a single screen capture method!
It’s quite normal if your device isn’t rooted. The reason it’s hard for apps to take a screenshot is because Android normally doesn’t allow it for security reasons. But if you follow the manual inside the app you can easily fix it, without rooting your phone/tablet. Go to “Screenshot Now” -> “Help” -> “No capture method help” and follow the tutorial. You will use your computer (Windows, Linux or OSX) to install a small file on your phone which will enable screenshots. This is a small bug in Android which we use for taking screenshots. If you need help just contact us.

Those are some good questions! We made Screenshot Ultimate to be available for free but it misses some features compared to Screenshot Now. Screenshot Now also has a way better layout while Screenshot Ultimate is really simple.
The applications should work without root. On some unrooted devices the apps work without connecting to a computer but on most unrooted devices you need to connect your device to a computer.
What actually happens when you connect the device to a computer is that the computer runs a small script (which is already installed when you installed the app on the device) on the device which runs with root privileges. That causes the small script (which is part of the screenshot app) to take screenshots while normally that isn't allowed. When you reboot your device the script is automatically stopped and can only be started as root again when you connect your device again to a computer.
Let me know whether you understand everything or still have questions.
Thanks for the clarification.
Please let me know in case you still require a French Translation.

Just found this thread! Looking forward to the update! The test version of Screenshot Ultimate with the additional capture methods worked out the issues I had. Method 10 worked for me where no others did in the past. I'm running a droid bionic, rooted, with safestrap, on cm10.1. Thanks for the great work and prompt email replies! It's nice to work with great devs! Looking forward to this implementation into screenshot now!
@OlivierTheBest A french translation would be great. I just PMed you! If anyone else want to help with translating please let me know!
@BitGeeker Great to hear it works, but I think you're talking about Screenshot Ultimate, that one has a separate thread
I purchased Screenshot Now. I was sent the test version of Screenshot Ultimate. Was hoping the new capability would be integrated into Screenshot Now.
Sent using Motorola's locked boot loader. Especially designed to crush the creative mind!
Ah, ok. We'll implement the same new methods into Screenshot Now as well but that might take 1-2 weeks. If you want a refund for Screenshot Now just PM me.
Also, if you have more feedback about Screenshot Now please let me know!
SmartLockScreenMake your lockscreen smarter than ever before!For Jellybean, KitKat and Lollipop devices
The Idea
The main idea behind this app can be considered as an extended version of 'Smart Lock' introduced by Google in Lollipop. The development of this app started before Google announced L during I/O 14, though.
We are in different environments at different times, and might prefer different security levels in each environment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Using this app, you can define different environments and assign different passwords to each of them.
App will detect environment changes automatically and presents you the assigned password whenever you want to unlock the phone!
_What's an Environment?
Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices and Location areas (geofences) can be used to define environments.
Specifying multiple parameters for an environment checks for all of them.
Assigning a password to an environment is done at the time of creating an environment. Support for more password types are coming in the future.
_There's more!
Lollipop style lockscreen with notifications for Jellybean and KitKat (can be disabled)
Restricted profiles - Set up restricted profiles for your friends/family and limit access to apps. You can assign a different password to each restricted profile (password, pin, pattern or none).
Intelligent environment overlap resolution. But you always have the option to override it manually.
Material Design, and smooth animations. (See screenshots below)
_Some details
The app uses admin privileges to set system password, so it comes with the security of Stock lock screen
Pattern lock is supported. If you have root, stock pattern lock will be used. Please see Post #3 for more details. If you do not have root, a built-in pattern library is used (it still sets a user-defined master password in the background so that lockscreen is actually secure). But this built-in pattern is not guaranteed to work in every device.
The core functionality is working, but this is still a work in progress. Please report bugs, crashes etc in this thread. Logcat will be highly appreciated!

_FAQs
1. My screen froze while on lock screen. How to recover?
Ans: Try rebooting the phone by long pressing power button. Upon reboot, try master password first, if it does not work, try passwords which you've set for different environments. Try to reproduce the problem, and send us a logcat.
2. How to uninstall the app?
Ans: First open SmartLockScreen Settings, delete all environments, and set passphrase for unknown environment as None. Then go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators, uncheck SmartLockScreen there. Now uninstall the app just like any other app. Please come back to this thread and post why you uninstalled it, what's missing/what's bothering you.
3. Can you add fingerprint sensor support?
Ans: I'm looking into it. Till Lollipop, there's no standard API or structure for fingerprint sensors, so parts of the implementation will have to be device specific or manufacturer specific. That being said, I'm trying to add support to Samsung devices first.
Also, things should improve with Android M, since fingerprint APIs will become standardized with it.
FAQs will be updated when certain questions get frequently asked.

_
Configuring environments
Let's consider some examples.
Say you want to set phone password as none automatically whenever your bluetooth headset is connected to it. Just go to manage environments screen, click the '+' button on top right, give a name and hint for the environment, click checkbox on Bluetooth card, select your bluetooth device after clicking the button that appears. Go down to passphrase card, choose none. Click done button at the top. That's it!
Whenever you are not connected to the headset, phone password will automatically change to Unknown Environment password(if you have set it) or the master password, if you haven't set password specifically for unknown environment.
Let's consider another scenario, you want no security at home, pattern at work, and a pin elsewhere. Just add 2 environments corresponding to home and work. You can use Wi-Fi or Location or both to identify the environment. Remember that if you set both Wi-Fi and Location, it'll check for both; i.e. you have to be connected to the Wi-Fi network, as well as in the particular area defined. If you want to detect in either case, just make 2 separate environments, 1 with Wi-Fi and 1 with location, and give the same passphrase in both.
Any number of environments can be added. You can set any passphrase for any environment, including unknown environment. You build the configuration that works best for you.
_
Configuring restricted profiles
Suppose you want to share your phone with your child, and make sure that (s)he can access only certain games which you have downloaded for her. Go to SmartLockScreen Settings, click the item which shows the current user, click 'Add new profile', and give it a name. Now click on the new profile (it must have appeared in that list). You'll see 2 new options in the Nav drawer now. Click allowed apps and click on the games which you want to allow, plus the launcher app you're using currently. Now go to set passphrase and set a suitable passphrase. You can set none if anyone anytime can unlock your phone using that profile, or you can set something else as well.
To switch profiles, just turn off the screen and turn it back on. Click on the user icon which appears at the top right corner. List of profiles will appear. Click on the desired profile to switch to. The screen will turn off and on again so that the password change will take effect.

Instructions, Downloads, Changelogs, Known Bugs etc
Important - Please read carefully
If you choose to use 'System pattern lock (Requires root)' - this option can be found in General Settings->Pattern Type if you have root access - please be careful.
This feature has been tested in AOSP ROMs only. Please make a nandroid backup, or at least Ti backups, especially if you're on a custom skin of Android like TouchWiz.
I request everyone to test this feature and report success/failure so that any problems which could arise can be fixed quickly

System Requirements
Android 4.1+
Latest Google Play Services
Notifications in lock screen works only in 4.3+, as of now. We're working to bring them to lower versions as well
Doesn't work in MIUI. We would like to get testers who can work with us to sort out the issues with MIUI
Testing has been done mainly on AOSP based ROMs (mainly a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5). The app might crash or not work as expected in certain manufacturer versions of Android. We haven't seen this behavior anywhere yet, but we would like to find out, and sort out the issues.
_
Installation Instructions
Important: The basic initialization steps haven't been compiled into a proper set up wizard when app first runs, so please follow these instructions carefully.
Download the apk (see below) and install it.
Go to Settings -> Security and change password to none. This is done so that unlock becomes simple whenever password is set to none by the app.
Install the apk file. See downloads to get the apk file.
For Android 4.3+, Go to Settings -> Security -> Notification Access and select SmartLockScreen.
Open SmartLockScreen settings. You'll be prompted to set a master passphrase, and activate Device Admin for that app, after which you'll be taken to Main Settings screen. Master passphrase can only be password/pin for security, and it'll be used by default on unknown environments. You can set a different password for unknown environment though, from Manage Environments screen. Add different environments using '+' menu item in Manage Environments screen.
Click on the user name to see list of profiles. Click add new profile option in the list to add restricted profiles. Once you select a restricted profile from the list, the options available will change accordingly and you can set which apps are allowed for that profile and what passphrase should be used for that profile.

Do you see an overlay showing the time, before you're entering your password? If not, drawing overlays doesn't seem to be working. Can you please tell me your android version, and ROM, if its not stock?
Installed and seems to be working
Tested so far: Set environment "Work" to activate when I am connected to their wifi. No security - Works no problem. When I set patter, pin or password, my previous lockscreen shows up after I swipe up to unlock. Then I have to swipe up again. Then the security (pin, password, Pattern) comes up and once entered I get on my home screen (or whatever app I left off at). I am using Viper Rom 6..2.1 (Android 4.4.2) on HTC One M7.
Same stuff happens with unknown environment. When set to none, one swipe up goes to where I left off.
Is that a design flaw in Android or does your app activate the stock lockscreen?
Btw love how everything looks. One thing that is kind of annoying is showing me as a notification what environment I am in. Did you mean to design it like that or no? Basically I like to have a clean screen when there are no notifications. I can swipe it away but it comes back after turn off and turn back on the screen.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback.
That is a design flaw in Android, I'd have to say. If the phone should be truly secure, the password should be set as system password. But then, in certain implementations of Android, along with it, comes an additional screen, like the one on HTC. This doesn't happen in AOSP actually, at least till KitKat. I'm thinking of ways to solve this problem.. Initial thoughts suggest that the app should provide an option to disable the lock screen overlay showing the notifications.
Regarding the persistent notification, we'll add an option to turn that off.

Wow thanks for a quick reply. I will set up no security for the places where I spend most of my day. And for the rest, I will just deal with it for now. Will let you know if there are any other issues. Thanks

Swiping left freezes my phone completely. It gets about half way in the animation and freezes. Turning off and on does not fix it. A restart goes back to normal but I tried swiping again and it froze again. No security set in current environment. Swiping right works fine and the dialer shows up after a second or two. Again, Using HTC One M7 with Viper Rom (Android 4.4.2).

Would it be too much to ask for a logcat? Intent to open camera on HTC devices must be different. It'll be solved in next version.
Edit: On second thoughts, it might be the absence of a "secure" camera module in Sense. Didn't think that devices might not have it. I'll add the fix right away. Unfortunately I won't be able to upload a new version until Sunday, I'm preparing for my GRE (on Saturday).

Heres a log cat plus a screenshot of how the freeze looks like (Phone still lets me take a screenshot with the physical buttons).
I have no idea how to read a logcat
EDIT: I dont mind waiting. This is not important to me as I mainly want the notifications. The dialer and camera are pluses. Your test is way more important and you should focus on that right now. Good luck on the test.
Edit 2: Attached a second logcat generated by app "alogcat"

Yup, identified the problem. It's as I thought, no activity for secure camera. Logcat helped a lot. I owe you a thanks.
This app is exactly what I've been looking for, except one small detail - it doesn't support my device's Android version!
Darn, why does nobody make apps for 2.1 anymore?
Oops, I know the answer - it's outdated and old. But still, it's not fun having a device that can use so few apps.
Oh yeah, it's the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, by the way.

Yes, both from the phone update itself, and LG Bridge.
no update yet
turkey V10s are also getting the update already!
I hope this is coming to the US! Sitting here with my boring not updated tmobile version here! (of course I'm not really complaining since we're bootloader unlocked and rootable!)
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
Great news! Can't wait~
Hi, I updated to MM yesterday and phone works a little bit faster, more smooth on menu or setting changes.
I dont see any UI or UX changes.
Fingerprint sensor was very laggy and hard time to read and I rescanned my fingers to get it work.
Camera software is same (overall taking good pics)
Cannot say anything about battery just updated the device
Process takes long time and first I got error via LG Bridge ( For Mac ) and then tried OTA, after 3 hours I was able to connect to OTA update center.(Dont give up trying)
Knock Code is using 6 touches at least instead of 4, this really bothered me.
If I see more then I'll keep you informed guys.

Can anyone check if the update allows you to unlock previously unlockable bootloaders now?
To do so, enable developers options and enable OEM unlock (may wipe your data)
Adb > fastboot OEM unlock >
With DM verity being enabled in 6.x.x you might (don't quote me on this) loose root if you update. Up until someone makes a rooted system.

You give me no info about the issues. It is crash the android or the windows version? Do you get any error that you can send me? Do you have enabled the Windows app to pass through your firewall?
I have a problem with the app on my phone. After I select a file and push the arrow, all I get is a black screen and that's it until a window pops up, which states "easyjoin go doesn't respond". Now I can send you feedback with system logs. I hope this will help.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! This app totally fills my needs for a reliable and simple OTA file transfer. One thing though, and forgive me if this is covered by Essential or Pro: could it be possible to change the directories (i.e. from internal to external sdcard) for the received files?

This is possible in the other two versions but even there currently you can't write in all folders on the sdcard, only on the app folder.
Since i want to keep this version as simple as possible i prefer to not add options that are available in the other versions.

Hi again!
Lately I'm having this weird problem where EasyJoin Go closes without warning while attempting to transfer any file or folder from Windows to my device. Also, when the transfer is successful, the files are partially transferred to my device (i.e. a folder with three files, only two transferred).
I recently changed my router, but everything else (windows and device side) seem to work perfect. Is there something I should take a look at?
Cheers,

Hi. Please read the FAQ and especially this: https://easyjoin.net/faq.html?15.
Are you using the latest version of the Android app? In this version a notification is created during sending/receiving a file that should prevent Android to suspend the app.

Yes, updated both (W10 + Play Store) yesterday after seeing your update available. Sadly it's still a no go. Yes, I did check the FAQ beforehand.
What I find strange is that it feels like a trial and error, and when it works, it only transfers partially as I mentioned in my previous post
Thanks for your help though, I appreciate it.
Nice. Works fine in my device...............
Now it seems to work perfectly. I bought the Thank you! gift on Google Play. Thanks again, and merry xmas!
Ambient Music Mod is a Shizuku/Sui app that ports Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices.
Requirements
Android device running Android 9.0 or above (11+ recommended).
Shizuku (Android 12+) or Sui Magisk module (Android 9+).
Shizuku does not require root, instead needing an ADB command or a few button presses to be made every reboot.
Features
Full Now Playing support, based on the latest version from Pixel devices and the latest music databases
Automatic Ambient Music recognition, with settings to control how often recognition runs - finding the right balance between battery usage and convenience
Now Playing History, Favourites and Summary support
Support to trigger recognitions manually, including a homescreen widget
On Demand recognition on supported devices, using the Google Assistant-backed recognition engine for songs that are not in the local database (must be triggered manually)
Show Now Playing songs on the lock screen (accessibility service required)
View the full track list of recognisable songs, and change the database location if your taste does not match your device's locale
Screenshots
Changelog
2.3.1
- Fixed crash on Android 14 Beta 3
2.3
- Android 14 Beta 2 support
- Added option to control Ambient Music Mod externally from apps like Tasker with options:
Enable Now Playing
Disable Now Playing
Toggle Now Playing
Start an On Device Recognition
Start an Online Recognition (if supported & enabled)
- External Access can be protected by an Access Token which must be provided by the apps interacting with it (enabled by default)
- Updated dependencies
For info on how to use External Access, check the page in the app or the Wiki page
2.2.2
- Fixed On Demand not working via the root method on some devices
- Improved Track Listing info, showing more details on tracks where available and fixing the Ask Google button
- Crash fixes
2.2.1
This is quite a large update, please make sure to update Ambient Music Mod and then Now Playing from the Updates screen after installing
- Enabled Now Playing Summary in the Now Playing History, a new feature that's not even on Pixels yet, which displays statistics about your listening habits including genre, artists, and timings from the last 30 days (configurable down to 1 day up to 365 days)
- NNFPv3 (the updated model) is now enabled on all devices except legacy armv7. Google have switched Pixels over to using it, indicating music databases for the legacy model may stop being updated at some point.
Please note that due to format changes, a database update will be forced after updating, and any saved On Demand recognitions will be removed. This is unavoidable, and Google has already done this on Pixel devices with official Now Playing
- Added experimental option to download extra country databases (up to two)
- Added option to periodically (daily/weekly/monthly) back up to a specified location
- Improved track list viewer speed by caching track info in Ambient Music Mod, rather than loading it from the Now Playing database every time. This will increase the storage footprint of Ambient Music Mod, but you can clear the app's cache if it becomes an issue.
- Added a track info viewer to the track list, displaying all available information for a track on one page, including links to play tracks in the database
- Added option to edit and delete stored On Demand tracks
- Updated database downloader, and implemented a system whereby the system Job Scheduler (which is relied on to schedule downloads) gets told to expedite downloads where possible. This should improve the speed of database downloads.
- Improved Lock Screen detection logic
- Fixed an issue where some switches in the app behaved differently depending on whether the text or the switch handle was pressed
- Fixed an issue where notifications for Now Playing were being re-enabled after being disabled by the user on some devices
nb: Version 2.2.1 fixes a cache issue with 2.2 which may impact updates. For this reason, it has replaced 2.2 and that version has been removed.
2.1.2
- Fixed Restore option not showing any options of files to restore
2.1.1
- Improved adaptive lock screen overlay
- Fixed insets on 3 button devices
- Allow install on x86_64 devices without libhoudini or libndk
2.1
- Added x86_64 support
- Fixed Android 13 Shizuku issue
- Updated switch style
- Removed "run when battery saver enabled" as it was not functioning and cannot be fixed
- Fixed overlay continuing to appear when bedtime mode is enabled
- Added message about static noise to playback screen
2.0.5
- Fixed an issue where on device recognition would not work on some devices using Shizuku
2.0.4
- Added the ability for On Demand recognitions to run without the Magisk overlay module, so long as the device is rooted. You must start Shizuku as root or use Sui to make use of this method, and the overlay is still preferred if it works on your device. Please read the Wiki page for more information.
- Further improvements to the On Demand overlay, fixing issues on OnePlus devices
- Fixed the Lock Screen overlay not appearing when Smart Lock is enabled
- Fixed Alternative Encoding and Lock Screen Overlay colour options not being backed up
2.0.3
- Added armv7 support
- Fixed crashes on Android 10
- Fixed an issue where some tracks were not showing up in the track list or in the track count (US database is actually 69k tracks, not 53k)
- Added an option to change the lockscreen overlay text colour
- The lockscreen overlay text now has a slight shadow, improving visibility
- Added caching for updates, which should prevent rate-limit issues. You can force an update check (ignoring cache) by swiping to refresh.
- Enabled landscape orientation
- Fixed background crashes in Now Playing, which may help download issues.
- Improved Magisk On Demand module overlay installing, which may fix bootloops on some devices
Note: Due to issues with the backend database update system, there have been two database updates in the last two days. This is now fixed, and future updates will be timely rather than all at once. Apologies for any inconvenience.
2.0.2:
- Added alternative encoding option, fixing distortion/crackling on some devices when enabled
IMPORTANT: You must also update Now Playing to 1.0.1 for the alternative encoding option to work. Use the Updates page in the app to update Now Playing.
- Increased max gain to 3.0 to cope with new encoding which requires a higher gain on some devices
- Reduced the chance of audio recording errors
- Removed "Timeout" notification as it was more useless than it was useful
- Fixed unclickable Chips on Recognition Success page (eg. Ask Google)

My bad, forgot to knock the internal version back down after testing the update dialog. I've "updated" the APK on GitHub, it's exactly the same build with the correct internal version, and will install on top
Awesome module! Unfortunately, I couldn't get it working. (SM-A725F - Galaxy A72, Android 11)
When doing the test recognition, it says "Ambient Music failed to start". When I try multiple times, it does actually listen, but when it's done listening, it gives me "No response from Ambient Music".
I paid attention to all the steps and fixes, but none of them worked. Tried with LSPosed and Edxposed. Also tried without whitelist and checked, that ambient services has mic permissions.

Interesting that it's started listening fine but didn't respond at the end, that suggests that maybe the delay time isn't long enough. Try using it as if it were working, see if it picks up music playing as that doesn't have the same delay limit

Tried that, didn't work. Couldn't see any addition on my lockscreen, when playing music. My phone starts lagging when turning off or on, as soon as I enabled the recognition on lockscreen.

Thanks, that's very useful:
Code:
sound_trigger_platform: platform_get_lsm_usecase: No lsm usecase found for exec_mode 0
is in the logs, suggesting it doesn't like the sound_trigger_platform.xml file, specifically the lsm_usecase bit. Unfortunately the current version of the app fails to zip that right when dumping, so could you do the following please:
- Send the current file in /system/vendor/etc/sound_trigger_platform_info.xml
- Disable the Magisk module in the Magisk app, and reboot
- Send the new file in /system/vendor/etc/sound_trigger_platform_info.xml (this should be different to the first, and be original to your device)
I'll then try to figure out if something else may be required to be added on some devices, or if there's a limitation of the 'magic numbers' in the file I took from the Pixels (in which case it will likely sadly never work).
I'll also fix the dump thing so it zips the xml correctly for the next build.
Cheers!

It's unlikely to be loading forever, it just takes a long time to load. Leave it for a few minutes and it should load.
Meanwhile, if the module is working now you'll probably want to play with the amplification a bit, test the output with the test playback and fingers crossed it'll start recognising things then.

If it still doesn't load after like 5 minutes (there's also a progress bar that should show progress) after restarting the app, what region are you in? I've previously tested the database parsing with en_GB and en_US and it was working fine but maybe it's broken for another one

Tap the microphone prompt in Ambient Music, you have to grant it manually via the app info (not sure why Google didn't just implement a prompt like everyone else does). I have also found that sometimes when you've just granted it access it doesn't immediately respond to test recognition, if you find it still sits loading after that then kill Ambient Music via the recents, reopen it via Ambient Music Mod, return to Ambient Music Mod and try running the recognition again.
