Hi, I know some Samsung devices have a screen recorder installed by default, but that isn't the case for me. I've tried to port it with apks multiple times, and none of those times has it actually worked. When I use an app activity launcher to access the settings activity and the record one, it either doesn't do anything, or starts recording and then there's no way to stop it, and I find third party ones jot as good, as they don't record sound unless I record external audio with the microphone, so I would be thankful to anyone who provides a non-root alternative/solution, because it is a really useful feature to have, (that's why it is a standard feature in many phones)
Thanks to everyone who helps
There is a root alternative for all of your problems. U can enable a QS Tile which can record or capture your screen.
Edit the others.xml file by finding this line
<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigDefQuickSettingItem>a,b,c,d,e,f. . . .</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigDefQuickSettingItem>
Add screen capture in the field and head over to this thread.

Follow his instructions . Only install the screen recorder app in /system/priv-apps and give appropriate permissions.
Reboot.

So I know a few people have asked about this around the net and I've yet to find a solution for this so I thought I'd post my little workaround.
Anyone that's tried to create a long timelapse with the GNex will tell you 1) you NEED to be plugged into AC the whole time and 2) Phone gets extremely hot. Since brightness is automatically increased when recording video, and can't be decreased I use the following combo/setup as a workaround.
Download Screen Filter from Market (**** a play store) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
This app essentially lets you tint your mobile screen from a percentage range of 2-98% of your current brighthness.
Once the app installed go into drawer and add the apps widget to one of your home screens, and set your desired tint percentage. I'm currently at 2% and that makes my screen look like its completely off (except for softkeys)
The final product ends up looking like this..
lol and for all you pervos out there dont be using this workaround to secretly record down/up women's clothes and such...
there is a spycam app called simple notepad that will give you a complete black screen while recording and lets you take pictures by tapping the screen. it works great with amoled scene since the phone looks like it's off when there is a black background. it'd didn't work so good on my atrix but great on the captivate. It's not in the market so you will have to google it.
thanks for the tip I'll check it out
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
but how can you do anything after recording has started? my phone stops recording even if i press the home button.
or do you darken it before you start recording, and then navigate blindly? how do you undarken it afterwards?
hmm... the screen filter idea seems kind of good, even though you have to navigate blind through the menu... I wish there was a native way of achieving this, just like a button in the camera to turn the screen off and back on again on a tap somewhere or so... But I think it works for my problem, thank you for your idea.
I have downloaded a few camera and video recorder widgets, and most of them don't work on my SGS3. All I ask is a one-touch home screen widget. Touch the widget and SNAP. Picture taken. Or touch the video widget and optionally maybe have to hit a start button to start recording. I have seen them on other phones, but no luck so far here.
Or, if anyone has any other ideas for quick access to getting pictures & video, I would appreciate hearing them.
I have used this for video

It makes you have to save when you hit stop, won't auto save. however, this seems to be the best there is.
Hi, Is there a hassle-free, decent app, that captures screens in Android 4.3 on Samsung S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1/2014
- without interpolating
- with 5 seconds delay
- also capturing screen elements that appear only while screen is touched?
I will happily pay for that app.
I would like to take Screenshots in that fashion:
1. press on-screen button in screenshot app
2. five seconds later, the whole screen will be saved as a PNG file (or TIFF or BMP).
But:
My two Android 4.3 devices create screenshots ONLY in those ways:
- wipe screen with hand horizontally (it's activated in settings)
- press Home- and Off-buttons
- on tablet, with S-Pen and screenshot-note (results look interpolated, even though they have the screen's resolution of 2560x1600px)
These methods are troublesome, the wiping changes app states and generally i cannot record elements that only appear when the screen is touched (for instance, the editing controls that appear when you touch a photo in an image-editing app).
Last year, i had some ways that all don't work now with Android 4.3. After pressing the Off-button for a while, i do get the usual menue, but there is no screenshot option (i don't see where i can activate the option in the settings).
I also tried around five apps recommended in many articles, including Screenshot Free, Screenshot UX Trial and Screenshot Ultimate. They do NOT capture anything. Screenshot Ultimate has a Screenshot Auto Detect telling me there is no easy way to capture screens; followed by a very long and complicated explanation how to capture screens anyway, but i don't want to follow this long explanation and i don't want to "root".
In short: Is there a hassle-free, decent app, that captures screens in Android 4.3
- without interpolating
- with 5 seconds delay
- also capturing screen elements that appear only while screen is touched?
I will happily pay for that app.
Thanks!
I have a problem with some applications. They don't want to use full screen. For example Spotify. There is a black bar above navigation bar.
Is this problem related to spotify app or something related to operating system?
Do you have similar problem?
I think that maybe the 18:9 aspect ratio or the resolution perhaps isn't supported by all apps yet. I face the same problem with Ingress, but found a workaround to make the black bar smaller: By hiding the status bar for that specific app you have that issue with, here's a link: (No root needed)

I wrote a post on spotify community page, but no real answers so far. So, we have to be patient.
More apps have this problem..I asked developer of one of them and they said that in the future they plan to support 18:9 apps lol its 2018 already they should have it..
color os.5 has feature to scale any app to 19:9
so i hope someone can port the feature into aosp/androidOne
any solution?
Solution
If you're looking fullscreen + gestures (like in MIUI) you're looking for this app - Fluid Navigation Gestures (search google play store)
It works BETTER than original, allows for customization and forces all "2D" apps to render full screen. Not games though
You'll need adb as well to make that program work
Use these tips to get the most out of your Huawei P20 Pro.
Screen Recording
Instead of relying on a third-party app for screen recording, EMUI has a great screen recorder baked into the system.
To activate screen recording, hold power + vol up. Then you will be asked to select your audio input. There is no limit to the amount of time that you can record, so just make sure you have enough space. I made a 1:20:00 recording and it ended up being 2.6GB, but this will change depending on your screen resolution. Your recordings will save as an .mp4 file.
The screen recording feature is very useful and has several features that you would normally have to pay for in a third party app. The ability to record for an unlimited amount of time, and record system audio are usually only accessible through premium screen recording apps.
Huawei Home
The default launcher that comes with EMUI is called Huawei Home which is a very customizable launcher. The homescreen is simple and displays the time, a wallpaper, and the amount of steps you’ve taken that day. In the home settings, you can choose custom transitions, toggle app icon badges, create a custom icon grid and more.
For a default launcher, it’s pretty good. If they could get a better selection of icons, it would really improve the look of everything.
Private Space
Private Space is a separate account where you can hide all of your private files, photos, videos and apps. You setup this account with a pin and fingerprint password. After you’re all set up, you can access your private space by pressing the fingerprint sensor which will log you in to your separate account. Your main fingerprint will be used for your primary account and a separate fingerprint will be used to access your private space. It’s really fast and secure, which makes this a great EMUI feature.
Private Space is kind of a hidden feature that not many people know about or use but it is very useful. After using it for a bit, you’ll come to rely on a separate space for all of your files and apps that you need to keep secret.
Color mode & temperature
The Color Mode & Temperature adjustments let you fine-tune the colors on your screen. You can choose between Normal and Vivid mode based on how saturated you’d like your screen to be. Color Temperature adjustment will help you make your colors as accurate as possible. Adjust it until your whites are as white as they can be, blues are blue ect.
