Record/Screenshot Screen Protected apps - General Questions and Answers

Just wondering if there is a way to record screen-protected apps since the well known option was scrcpy (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy)
Can anyone think of anything else?
This applies to Android 12 and probably 13 too

There seems to be no way around it. I ended up using Bluestacks/Nox and record it with PC app.
Netflix has this "feature". They don't allow sharing footage or even screenshots from their games because they S...

Something like Fraps

I looking for some app,which can record my screen, like Fraps for PC. But i cant find something what work with my TF101. i tried this program https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zausan.zscreenrecorder&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56YXVzYW4uenNjcmVlbnJlY29yZGVyIl0. but it giving me just 0,00 kb files. I have tried two other programs,but doesnt work too. Does anyone know some app which works?
I searched for the same thing some time ago. I found only apps/tools that record something like 5-10 FPS which is not enough if I want to record a video for my blog. I followed the development of Screencast Video Recorder for some weeks but the developer said that such tools are very unlikely to work with Tegra 2 because of the architecture of the chip or something like that
Had anyone of you used the Android SDK way to record android screen? It´s very lagy for me. The video on PC is slow with freezes and my TF is freezing too. Have you the same problem? Or do you know how to solve it?

How do I mirror video and audio from Android to a PC/TV?

What I'm looking to do with my SGS3 is WIRELESSLY mirror the audio, and video of my phone to a HTPC/Mac. Apple via "Airplay"allows for this in iOS and it works BEAUTIFULLY using a client on the pc/mac like AirServer, or Reflection. I find it difficult to believe that this is not available on an Android platform. The problem is, searching for such an app almost always results in finding remote desktop apps n such. Watch a video using Airserver or Reflection, and you'll see what I'm looking to do. I've seen media player apps that'll send videos/audio, but not by mirroring the actual Android device. I know I've gotta be missing this somewhere.
There's an app called MirrorOp Sender that sends the video to a connected receiver/client, but it's VERY slow, and does not support the transmission of audio. MirrorOP Sender also requires the device to be rooted. Not like that's a huge deal to me, but perhaps to someone else.
Thanks in advance!

Xda tv did a review of an app that does this. Look on their youtube channel. To late for me to find it. I'm sleepy.

Thanks Here's the video I think you might have been talking about. I was unawar that TeamViewer allowed for the control of a phone FROM a pc. I thought it was only to control a PC FROM a phone. Thanks! But it should be known, though this is a seriously cool option. Audio still does not transfer over the wifi, only two-way video communications.
And so the hunt continues for something like AirServer and Reflection on Android. Don't necessarily nee to control it from a pc/mac, but would really like a wireless audio/video presentation platform for Android.
Bringing this post back to life in hope someone has a new idea. Can someone please explain to me why the ability to mirror audio and video from Android to a PC/Mac isn't available yet? Thanks

I am looking for the same, Although the other way. I think there are bunch of apps to mirror your Display but audio is not possible due to some limitations in Android framework.

I too was looking for an app like this and honestly sat there and started to wonder why i actually needed it.. can you explain a senario where this make sense and why an app that beams audio/videois not a good enough solution. hell i am with you on having more options including a featuer like airplay mirror, but maybe untill such application exists i can suggest good enough work arounds because like you i spent MANY MANY hours trying to figure out how do do this mirror thing with no dice. but i did find nice workarounds..
Holy hell, finally I think we might have a solution. I haven't tried it yet, but clearly, we aren't the only ones in need of this feature.

Looks promising. SplashTop 2 works other way round but is too damn pricey.
Just reviving this thread because I am also looking for the same thing. That app posted in the last post, BQScreen, as far as I know doesn't differ from the one the OP stated. Both apps don't transmit any audio, they just mirror the screen. MirrorOp is kinda cool because you can control it both ways, you can also use your mouse to click buttons on your computer to control your phone. Keyboard also works so you can reply to all your whatsapp msgs from your computer but at the end of the day it doesnt transmit any audio.
I use a galaxy note 2 and have never had the need to do this before because both the tvs in my house that get the most use happen to have a computer in the same room and I have them set up to just send the computer's screen to the tv screen and use unified remote/xbmc remote to do whatever I want, thus ending the need for allshare cast/apple tv devices which in my opinion offer an inferior experience than a full fledged HTPC.
The problem is that I have a tv in a room in my house that is getting more and more use lately and it doesn't have any way of showing netflix or youtube or all the files I have in my media server, etc. Basicaly, no access to the internet and I bought the tv right before all the smartv craze started. I am now on the search of a way to mirror my phone's screen (or anyones) to that tv in order to give that tv some added value. Of course I would still need to have some kind of reciever in that tv to get it to work so I really don't know what I am searching for. In the end I will probably end up purchasing an allcast dongle and use it specificaly for that tv, that way all tv's in my house would have access to all the media in my house and the internet but if anyone here has another option, I am all ears.
I have google tv and youtube connects nicely, i'm not sure if that's what your looking for though. I just connect and it plays the video on my tv.
Reviving this i case the 4.3 framework has changed to allow this functionality. If someone with knowledge of such things can chime in that would be great!
Bumping this topic, years have gone by and still no solution?
mirror from koush is the closest thing ...
it's meant for airplay so you can just install airserver on your pc
Chromecast
Google Chromevast
Looking for the solution. AirServer works on Windows and promises Google Cast support but it looks like it only casts audio from Chrome desktop tab. Google Play Music app discovers the chromecast device but music doesn't start

[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.

Chromecast - anyone working on a way to play local videos?

Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?
Read somewhere that clockworkmod and someone else have done it or are really close. Check Chromecast development

This may be irrelevant now, and if so I apologize for the waste of time, but I have found that if you open the video files in a Chrome tab, they can be cast that way. At times it can be a little inconvenient, but I think the video/audio is pretty good.

Specific Netflix Mirroring Issue that I cant find a thread for.

Good Tidings Forum ,
This is my first post. And of course I am asking for help. I thank anyone that takes the time to read this and assist me in advance.
Phone: Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 (V) on Lineage OS 14.1 updated to latest update before 15.1. Rooted and using Magisk
Problem Explanation: Streaming Netflix to android auto using AA mirror side loaded app does not produce video. All other applications produce video (vlc player , youtube). Netflix will log into the menu and display everything up until the the the playing of the movie. at which point the movie will not play but it will show all the buttons like fast forward and will play audio and show the line for how long the movie is ect. But no picture. Netflix does work perfectly fine on my phone when not using mirror app.
Possible Reason this is happening: I did some research and found out Netflix uses HDCP which may be causing me this issue. I saw in one forum that some users have HDCP checking in developer options. But following this XDA link I was unable to obtain this setting https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/root-bypass-hdcp-mirroring-easy-t3616836 . It could be caused by something else but right now from what I have researched this seems like the cause.
Possible resolutions:
1) Maybe there is a netflix version out there before HDCP that still works. I cannot find a changelog anywhere that tells me when they implemented it. I have tried several versions of netflix going back as far as May 2016. If someone knows a date when netflix did not have HDCP if ever that would be helpful to let me know so I can test. (so far unable to find a version of netflix that will work on AA Mirror)
2) Possibly find a way to enable HDCP checking on developer options. (once again if HDCP is actually my issue) which may allow netflix to work without issues.
3) A magisk Mod or APK out there to help me that I am unaware of?
4) I read online alot of times that there are hdmi splitters that bypas HDCP. If this is my only solution I need something that is phone based. I would need an usb micro bypass splitter. My connection to Android Auto is usb to micro usb to my phone so i would need the proper software to accomodate that and a way to power it.
This may not be HDCP but I am thinking these is a way somehow to resolve this. Any help is much appreciated and thanks again!
Hi, did you get a reply? I'm having the same issue...
This forum is a year old but seems no one has given any solution. I'm facing the same problem.
