Screenshot app on Android 2.2? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends. I really want to download a screen shot app for my evo but all the apps I've found only work with rooted phones. Does anyone here know of an app that will work with android 2.2? And speaking of 2.2, does anyone know if a root is nearing? I know it's inevitable.

Shootme is the only one that I know of but you need root for it. Root your phone already!! Why wouldn't you!?!

shoot me doesn't work on 2.2, for me at least. I am using drocap and it works perfectly. Picme works as well, it just gives you a web link to view your screenshots

thats odd - I think it might just be you. Folks have been using shootme on 2.2 roms for a while now.

Shootme gave my problems, too. I use one called screenshot that I got from the market and it works lovely. With root, of course.

+1 for drocap

whoops wrong thread x.x

Probably all Your problems will be past -> easyscreenshotandroid22.blogspot.com/
Hope this guy is serious with that great trick to make those screenshots.

Shootme worked great on my EVO w/2.2 when it was unrooted.

best screen cap app?

I have shootme but given how clumsy I already am, I don't feel it is safe to use.
They all suck. I wish someone would make a simple app that worked like the iPhone system.
front panel button + power = screen capture

Only if you haven't applied the latest update from what I'm reading. They (finally) patched the hole that allowed the original Unrevoked and ShootMe to work without root.

drocap is nice, but it requires root
anything for non-roots?
Hmm waiting for unrevoked to update *twirls thumbs*

Taking a screen shot???

I remember when I had an iPhone I was able to hold the top power button and the home bottom at the same time and it would take like a snap shot screen shot type deal of my current screen can an evo do that? Maybe an app I need in order to do that?
Thanks!

Yup, either drocap2, or Shootme. There are probably more, but those are the two main ones. I use drocap2, and it works great.
it's also worth noting that you need to be rooted to use any of the screenshot apps in the market.
word is that 2.4 will most likely have it built in.

I had a Droid Incredible before getting an EVO 4G and I was able to use the Shoot Me app to take a screenshot of my homescreen "before" I was rooted.

Well you still need to be rooted, well at least now to use it.
Yeah, was the same way with the Evo. At one point you could without root, then something changed by way of app update or something. Almost want to say I remember a OTA breaking ShootMe on one of my Evo's. Either way, as said, shootme and dropcap2 are your best bets. Provided you have root access.

[Q] Netflix

So Netflix came out for some devices today. I grabbed a version of it and installed it and it seems it's authenticating the device type when a streaming request is sent. Who wants to figure out how to spoof this?

Netflix works perfectly for me with this ROM

It doesnt support the Epic but with this ROM it thinks the phone is a Nexus S. I've had great success with this ROM. Everything works except for the FM radio but I use TuneIn so it doesnt matter. You still need a subscription to Netflix. Hoping ya'll can afford $8 a month LOL
Yup, Netflix works great on the Swiss Cheese rom (Gingerbread 2.3)

There is a way to install the video chat capable version of talk on 2.3.3, but you need root
Do a search in the android market place for talk 1.3 and it should be the second item found.
Its called:

I tried it last night and it works well

To be honest I'm new to the android world and I am fine with what I have. I like the feel of Sense, and from what I hear there isnt any ROM that has Sense and works very well.
Plus once you root, isnt it pretty hard to go back to stock?

There are two roms that I know of that are exactly the same as the stock gingerbread with sense and one that is stock froyo, im running the gingerbread one, same as over the air update, minus some Verizon crap u can put back on if u wish, and I can do so much more with root, and I'm having zero issues or problems.

anybody know why?
Maybe they have an update guideline.. or improper flagging.. or pulled by request of the person who made it. I've emailed the dev in the past, 0 feedback, perhaps he removed it to release a better version, or perhaps was insulted/furious in the fact that there's other apps that provide the same functions, and even copied his apk icon, recoloring it to avoid copyrights.

Shootme Alternatives?
Does anyone know of any good alternatives to Shootme?
I have v0.8.1 on my phone, but for some reason its not working.
Actually, its kinda weird. It worked perfectly fine on my Evo running Froyo before I rooted. Then I rooted a couple weeks ago and flashed CM7.1. Now its saying "Failed to start server. Please check that you have ROOT access...blah blah blah," even though I've granted it Superuser permission. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the like. I know CM7 has built-in screenshot feature, but Shootme is a lot easier when taking multiple/quick screenshots. Anyone have any suggestions of how to fix this, or know of any good alternatives?
Drocap2 maybe.

Can someone mod shootme so that we can get a better framerate on the screencast feature. Just to let you know a Dev already did this but his modded apk is no longer available in his thread( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925270 ). Also know that the higher the framerate, the crappier the quality of video. Here are the steps if anyone can do it:
just decompile the app with ApkManager or other and ajust the values in /res/values/array.xml
I would do it myself but I don't have good luck with ApkManager
