Did you install the version from the market? All it does for me is takes a picture of a black screen.

I've tried shootme and drocap2 and they both give me black images. How is everyone else getting screen shots?

Doesn't work for me

It looks like the only thing that works is to get the DDMS tool from the Android SDK, and get a screen capture that way. Its the only way I have been able to do it, so far.

1. Download the Android SDK
2. Make sure you have set up ADB for your GTab (if not, get the Wireless ADB widget, or do the hack mentioned on the GTab Super Thread)
3. Launch DDMS.bat (in the SDK tools/ directory).
4. After the window pops up, select the device in the grid that is the GTab (if there is more than one, I usually have the GTab and Droid2 connected at the same time)
5. Select the Device Menu, and choose "Screen Capture..."
Easy breezy. Hardest part is setting up ADB to work.

I've gotten DDMS to take ONE picture over ADBWireless... I got all sorts of drama with Java errors and such trying to run it. I'm not kidding, just one. been pooped on ever since. Haven't spent the time to work the kinks out yet.
It would be SUPER NICE if anyone could figure out shootme or something similar. Although, I wonder why those are limited to black screens?

I agree it would be nice to have shootme work. But I don't know why you have the issue with DDMS. It works great for me over wifi. I use the app that has the big green button... Maybe your computer is mad at Android or jealous of Android

Thanks for the help
Hmm, these websites were also helpful... I am now able to take screenshots.

Man I WISH I had some sort of decent answer for you... I'm somewhat technical and its aggravating to no end why silly things like that don't want to work all the time. ADB just doesn't want to keep the drivers for me for some reason so I went to WirelessADB. I can push/pull all day long but DDMS worked once, now I'm having java errors thrown left and right. I google'd the world and tried several things then gave up... sort of... I decided to create a Virtual Linux box and spent 5 hours and couldn't get ADB to work on it either. Believe me, I can goggle and use deductive reasoning skills with the best of them as my OCD makes me try and try.
I finally threw my hands up, took my toys, and went home

I know what you mean. As old as Windows is it seems to be still pretty finicky. I guess there are just too many combinations of software and hardware to have them all work. I actually have a couple of computers I use for different things. Just so I can get something to work reliably and not screw it up by installing other stuff. It is maddening though when it just doesn't want to play nice...

adb on linux
Well, in case anyone is interested in getting adb to work on Linux, I had to add a file named "70-android.rules" under /etc/udev/rules.d containing:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0955", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666", OWNER="..."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
where you replace "..." for OWNER is the Linux userid. The OWNER part may or may not be necessary. The udev entry is so adb will see the usb device. The "0955" is the nvidia vendor id. Of course you need to be root to add the file. On something like Ubuntu you could use "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules" to edit the file. Or you can use "su" to get root access and then edit the file.
I installed the Android Eclipse SDK and platform toolkit. I had to find the actual adb executable elsewhere. I put it in the tools directory under the android toolkit. I tried a couple of different versions of adb before I found one that would work when I used the command:
adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The md5sum of the adb I used (that worked) is cf059f327f6ae8a35cf9b8eb6c80490c.
I was able to use ddms to get screen captures. None of the screen capture tools I tried worked, They all gave be a black image.
I am on Maverick Meerkat (Ubuntu 10.10), but these steps should work on other modern distros as well.

Can you post a link to that ADB.exe? that;s one thing that I notices wasnt there in the SDK. I dunno why but it wasn't.

The ADB.EXE is in another folder... I think google moved it? Its in platform-tools directory.

Manually launching Webtop

Well guys, this works for me with just the HDMI cable plugged in:
UPDATE
use this command instead:
/osh/etc/init.d/startX.sh
It does not freeze your phone screen.
/osh/usr/local/bin/webtop-restart

You execute it!
That program allows us to run the Webtop without a dock.
Connect the HDMI cable to a TV/monitor, and launch that problem - either in ADB or in Terminal. It will fire up the webtop desktop on your screen. Keep in mind that you will need a bt keyboard to interact with the phone at that point as the webtop completely takes over.
If it winds up being this easy, people will lose their minds.
Doesn't seem to work for me with just the hdmi cable plugged in.

And how do I execute it, deal Liza dear Liza and How do I execute it dear Liza and how?
I found it in root explorer, but execute is not an option.
Easiest way is to get a Terminal Emulator.
Gives yourself root access through "su".
Then run the command, "./osh/usr/local/bin/webtop-restart" in the terminal.

I can confirm this worked. It launches webtop. I haven't tried bluetooth keyboard/mouse yet, but I assume it will work.
So excited to play super mario tonight. I've been waiting for this since the Evo came out and disappointed many with its HDMI out.
When the HDMI is connected... does the phone screen also show the picture or is it just o/p to the hdmi ?
anyway to make it work just on the phone without HDMI ?
1) Getting an interesting Motorola "screensaver".
2) I can't figure out how to launch phone apps. There is a "mobile view" option in which this is probably done.
3) Resolution is a little out of wack. See my youtube video compared to this one specifically at the 1:51 mark. See how my mobile phone view is cut off at the bottom.
4) Mobile View doesn't work. When I click the mouse nothing happens.

Thank much!!! it works for me. Now I need get bluetooth keyboard and mouse to try it out.
It didn't fire up for me, I did 'su' first, ran it, nothing happened.
*However*, I'm running Launcher Pro, so I suspect there's some kind of stub in Blur that's needed. I thought of this _after_ I came upstairs, but I'll confirm later.
Im using launcherpro and it works, i just get a screen saver overlay when i run it, but idk if that happens to everyone
Do you have to root to do this, and if you root the phoen what do you down to put this code in?
run the command in terminal emulator with hdmi plugged in an webtop boots up. still have motorola screensaver moving around as well which is weird. also can't control webtop (have a bt keyboard but no mouse).

Screen calibration

So my screen has always been a little wonky. I've never been able to hit that market search button on the first try.
I came across this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500
which has an app for calibrating the screen. It definitely runs and calibrates ok. My initial 5 minute impression is that the calibration is better! Just thought I'd share!
Thanks for sharing. I've found that my top right corner is the least sensitive area of my touch screen, with the right and left edges coming in a close second. I've tried recalibrating the old fashioned way with adb, but I still don't get the best results. I'll give this a try when I get home.
I used the htc calibration tool and it seemed to do the trick. It was included with project elite when I flashed my droid over to it.

You simply downoad the apk file and tap on it to run it. When it is finished, it does not say so, but just use the back key to exit the app and you're finished ....... and calibrated.
By the way, works great on NookieFroyo for me.

You don't need to download it to a computer and use adb, you can install the apk directly.

If you have a microphone on your computer, when you go to http://www.google.com , there should be a little microphone symbol near the right of the search bar that you can press and do voice searches with. It's basically the same thing.

That sucks. It fails to recognize me everytime. The one on Android and web are completely different. Try Wolfram Alpha. Also try downloading the emulator from Android dev and push the gapps into it. That should work.

Various app questions. Trying to finalize my NST setup using 1337 ROMs.

Hi, everyone. I'm currently trying to set up my NST using 1337 ROM and make everything works the way it should.
I am trying to get Google Voice to work. I have everything working except for the keyboard. I just cannot get the keyboard to pop up. Is there an alternate keyboard I can install or should I install an older Google Voice APK? I'm not sure where to go from here.
Amazon Appstore cannot be parsed properly. I am assuming that this is because the apk is the most recent version. I cannot seem to find any NST compatible APK so I'm wondering if anybody here could share a link to it for me please? Thanks
I am also not able to find the right opera APK. I want to replace the UC browser that came built in.
Is there any RPG games you can recommend for the NST? I'm currently checking out Andor's Trail. And a few RPG GameBoy games via an emulator. Just trying to get some simple games. Especially some that are two players so I can play with my wife too.
Thank you for any responses.

I'm loving it. Currently using my Nook as my sole mobile electronic. I got a laptop and a DSLR kit and that's it. So I've been using your 1337 rom quite heavily in the past little while. Thank you so much for your works on the ROM
Just got a few quirks to deal with like the occassional menu with white text on white background so it's impossible to see what the menu says. The most pressing issue right now is that I cannot seem to turn off the lock screen PIN :/ I've changed it to 0000 just to make it easier for me to get back into my Nook but it's getting annoying. Any tips on this?

'Course! Here's how to do it:
1. Install the .apk I attached below. It's for an app called Terminal Emulator.
2. Execute the commands displayed below:
Code:
$ su
# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
# sqlite3 settings.db
# sqlite3 > delete from system where name like 'lock%';
# sqlite3 > .q
# exit
$ exit
3. Enjoy.

Let me do some research on these and get back to you.
Pro tip: If you want to change the theme of Hacker's Keyboard to something else, open up Terminal Emulator and execute this:
Code:
$ su
# am start -n org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard/.LatinIMEDebugSettings
Then, use the Theme drop-down menu.

The menu background issues have been addressed by altering images in the framework-res.apk. There are two versions around, one with lighter backgrounds (still darker than the original) and one with darker backgrounds. These changes are global so they will affect the overall appearance of even B&N menus. I chose the lighter ones.
The installation is described here and you can examine more of that thread for additional info. The files described are no longer available at the links given in the thread, but I believe mergen3107 recently reposted them.
Thanks! I did everything suggested and it seems to have fixed everything. Still getting used to the new barely visible menu text but I think I can handle that.
Thank you both! the Nook is a lot more usable now
@Deafcyclist, I just updated my SBM Theme (which is used in yattaro's and my 1337 ROM) to include nmyshkin's and mergen3107's fix for the barely visible menu text. Go check it out, if you like. The .apk there with the fix is called framework-res.alt.batterypercentage+graymenu.apk. Follow the installation instructions, and you'll be good to go.

[MOD]-No Root DPI Changer [WIN Program]

Hi everyone!
Made a small stand alone program that will connect, display & change your DPI for any android device with USB Debugging activated and appropriate drivers installed.
Backstory:
It seems Im one of the unlucky ones with a currently un-rootable H831 and I had wanted to change allot on this phone on the system level. One of the current mods I always implemented was a DPI change.
DPI change on a non-rooted phone is not a problem and is outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/how-to-change-dpi-root-t3351366 and is using adb commands to do so.
** But I wanted an easier way to change my DPI and have reference to density & resolution without using ADB and cmd commands all the time. Also my wife can change her DPI like this on any PC without hassle. Therefore I wrote this little program that will display density, resolution and allow you to change it on your phone easily by just running it stand-alone. Since I put the effort into it already, thought I would share & maybe someone could use it the way my wife and I are
Anywho, I also attached some operational screenshots.
Attached is the zip to Download here

Im using swiftkey and I have not had any problems.
If however you notice the keyboard has shrunk abit, you can change the size of it in settings anyways.

Hm... I may have to try a new DPI again then. I know SwiftKey used to have issues whenever the DPI was changed to where the keyboard would appear very magnified but still worked as normal, you just couldn't see which keys you were pressing. If SwiftKey now supports different DPIs, I guess I'll have to try changing mine again! Any chance you can post a screenshot with SwiftKey open?
Is it possible to change the actual resolution to achieve more performance and battery using this program?
Good workaround! However, the always-on display is distorted. Is there a way to fix this?

Solution? to what? an over paranoid antivirus program lol!
Dude, In order to get an ADB terminal working I obviously need the ADB DLLs and my program when executed plops the 2 DLLs needed into a temp folder and also keeps ADB sevice open on the system. An antivirus program sees the dropped dlls and the live system service running as suspicious, but believe me its not.

Yes, There are commands using ADB that can change the render resolution mode so I would need to program it in as an option. Maybe I could look into adding that in the future.

No fix for this. You would need a rooted phone and that service framework modded on the system level to even attempt to fix DPI issues with the always-on display. Workaround - deactivate it, or see if there are any third party ones.
Awesome thanks. Just got my H831 today. Sad there is no root yet.
This is one of the main changes I wanted root for.

Hi everyone!
Made a small stand alone program that will connect, display & change your DPI for any android device with USB Debugging activated and appropriate drivers installed.
Backstory:
It seems Im one of the unlucky ones with a currently un-rootable H831 and I had wanted to change allot on this phone on the system level. One of the current mods I always implemented was a DPI change.
DPI change on a non-rooted phone is not a problem and is outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/how-to-change-dpi-root-t3351366 and is using adb commands to do so.
** But I wanted an easier way to change my DPI and have reference to density & resolution without using ADB and cmd commands all the time. Also my wife can change her DPI like this on any PC without hassle. Therefore I wrote this little program that will display density, resolution and allow you to change it on your phone easily by just running it stand-alone. Since I put the effort into it already, thought I would share & maybe someone could use it the way my wife and I are
Anywho, I also attached some operational screenshots.
Attached is the zip to Download here

As file Explorer says app not found, am I doing some thing wrong?
