An app to record what's happening on my screen

Has anyone developed an app that records everything that's happening on my screen? I have seen videos on youtubes of people showing off their phones and it looks like someone is recording just what's happening on the screen, not the phone it self. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

I'm interested as well.

It's done with ShootMe (root required).

Not to bash the app but shootme just takes screenshots at max 10 per second to make it a video. It doesn't work for what I'm trying to show.
Is there any app that can capture the device at at least 20-30FPS?

This isn't exactly what you are after. but it might help you
You can install a VNC server on your phone from
the market and install some type of VNC viewer on your PC ,by doing that,
you can stream your phones screen to your PC and record it as a video
on your pc.

This actually sounds great to me. I just don't know what VNC is. Do you know of a guide I can follow or can you make one? Sorry if its too much to ask?

It is actually very straight forward to setup.
All you need to do is :
Download and install droid VNC server on your phone from the market (free or paid)
and download a vnc client on your pc , if you are using Linux you can install
"gtk vnc viewer" or any other one ,they are many available. or if you are using
windows, download TightVNC from download.com (cnet) and install it on your pc
on your phone, open up the app and and press start server it will give you some sort of ip address ,
from your pc open the viewer (TightVNC is both viewer and server) type the address and hit connect.
and thats all there is to it . Obviously both your pc and your phone should be connected to a wireless network.

An app to record what's happening on my screen

For me that VNC app was terribly slow. Wouldnt be useful for recording your screen.

It also depend on the client you are using on your pc
And your network speed too.
But yeah the video is not going to be as smooth as recording your desktop. Its basically like using remote desktop.
You can also do it the otherway around so you can control your pc from your phone.

Any update at all on this? Any new apps around that do it properly?

Works perfectly for me, note you must have the android SDK installed, and point the program to it on first run.

Use ShootMe and at the top were it shows 'A heartbeat monitor thing' click that and click screencast. This will allow you to make videos of whats going on on your screen.. +Rep if I helped.

I had no idea ShootMe had a screencast option and I've been using it for over a year. Thanks so much. I've been using the android sdk and a program called [email protected], but ShootMe is a bit easier.

My videos always play just fine when I record in portrait or landscape. I have not run into a ROM that has given me those kind of issues.

damn tried reformting sd card. but still doesnt work.

maybe its the video player? because the video plays on your phone right?

My wife had this problem cm7, it was really weird, the only way I could get it to play was to download rock player and I had to navigate to the directory and open the file with something like file expert and then select rock player.
But this was on the phone not on a computer.

[How-To] Stream Videos with Google Drive

1. Open Google Drive
2. Long press on the desired video file
3. From the popup, select "Send Link"
4. Choose either "Copy to Clipboard" or "Share to Clipboard."
5. Open any browser that SUPPORTS FLASH.
6. In the address bar, long press and select "Paste" or "Paste and Go" (just copy the URL into your browsers address bar).
7. Hit go.
8. Enjoy watching your videos streaming to your phone in your browser.
9. Watch fullscreen by double tapping on the video as it plays.
Note: you MUST have a flash enabled browser. I use Boat Browser on Jellybean 4.1.2
This was written because I did some searching and could not find anything else that showed how to stream video FROM Google Drive TO your Android device. I hope this helps, if it does, just click Thanks!

Try Plex...... Its a hell of an app granted you have to leave your PC on but its worth it.

Or you can get a file manager that support cloud computing (example. X-plore from the market) and just simply click the file and play it back on your phone without having to go through a browser that supports flash

Thanks OP.
Not to thread hijack but dude thanks for the Plex tip, I had never heard of it. It's the ****!

The reason I use this method is because the Google method automatically converts the video to a flash supported content that can be streamed no matter what. I have lots of various formats that I don't want to have multiple codecs for. There are other ways to do it but none I'd personally seen on streaming from this method. Beauty of Android: multiple ways to get to there!

Can you share with folks exactly how Plex is used? I tried it, loved it, and I'm positive that if folks search for this solution, they'll want to here about this! It's astonishingly straightforward and really easy to use, but everyone's skill level is different.

This is awesome. I got only 8 GB of storage and no SD card or USB drive support, but now Google Drive is perfectly useful to me.

It turns your computer into a server, and through the installed Plex software allows you to stream all media content seamlessly from your computer to your phone.

Poor Youtube video quality?

Hello, I have a note 2 n7100. I used to have 4.1.2. Flashed 4.3. Everything went well. One thing that's bothering me is the youtube app video quality is low even when I choose HQ. It gets better but it's pixilated. On 4.1.2 it was basically hd. Has anyone else experience the same problem? I can't figure out what it is. The rom?. Or a setting somewhere? Could a custom kernel effect it somehow? Any tips or advice appreciated.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Are you on 3G? Because usually the app switches to HQ rather than HD only on 3G.
Also there is an app called Viral .. It let's you choose whatever quality you want, its kinda good, you may want to try it

Thanks, i guess i had a modded youtube app before where it would automatically play hd in 3g. Noe it only has hd option on wifi only. The only solution i foind is the OG youtube downloader. Where you can choose what quality you want when on 3g. But it doesnt have an auto option to go to highest quality when on 3g. Ill check out that viral app. Thanks.

Actually most of the roms have youtube apk as system app and those apks are a little modified for better performance!
If u have system youtube apk then you can remove it by using root uninstaller from play store(needs root).
And reinstall youtube from play store!

[GUIDE] How to record Lollipop no Root

Do you want to record your screen?
Without root?
Its possible
There has been a new app released called SCR Screen Recorder 5+!
Links:
Free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iwobanas.screenrecorder.noroot.free
Upon entering the app a small tool window will appear, having a record button on the far left, a settings in the middle and a exit on the far right.
1.) HIGHLY IMPORTANT (no video lag)
Enter the settings.
Select the encoder tab.
Select the MPEG-4 SP Android built in recorder for minimal lag.
After that go even more down, and select where to store videos. I suggest using the SD card, because some videos can be a bit big. (Especially when recording gameplays or tutorials )
After that happy recording!
Thank me or reply if I helped
