taking screenshots from the device? I've tried the app called 'screenshot' from the Market, but it seems to require a hardware camera button (unless I am missing something), I emailed the dev but did not get a reply.
Also is there a better Gallery app? I notice it slows down a lot when there are a few hundred photos in the gallery.
Did you check his site for any info? He states this on his site.
* Screenshots are now captured much faster; images are being decoded directly from the R5G6B5 format.
* Screenshots are now automatically saved to the SD card.
* You can now use the camera button to capture screenshots. (The Screenshot application must be started first)
* If you assign a hotkey to the Screenshot application, you can use that hotkey to also instantly take a screenshot. (The Screenshot application must be started first)
So I would start it and try the trackball or assign a hotkey and use that.
For the gallery issue, what class is your SD card?

Suggestion.
Open Home - and I'm referring to the latest version...does in fact come standard with a fully featured "screenshot" button.
From the homescreen; you simply press MENU / then scroll down to SCREENSHOT / and there you have it.
Then again, this is only for use to detail descriptions of any homescreen you have...not system settings, or anywhere else within the phone's menus.

OK I've just purchased it and I think I've wasted the $2.99. This is what it looks like, 'timed' and 'exit' are the only options available to me. How am I supposed to assign a hotkey?

As for the gallery issue, it's no different on a class 6 8Gb to a class 2 16Gb card as far as I can tell. Don't think the SD card speed is the issue.

It doesn't work as according to his site?
http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Screenshot
It shows how to take a screenshot at the bottom of that page.

Thanks for putting me on track. It doesn't work as described on his site for me though.
Instead of saying "screenshot captured", I get "Error: Unable to take screenshot".
If I do abd logcat at the same time, I get:
Code:
I/NotificationService( 1581): enqueueToast pkg=com.koushikdutta.screenshot [email protected] duration=1
I guess I'll leave it until the next time I wipe and reload my device.

I was messing with my JAM the other day, and I tried to find a hidden screen in the today menu, just like the one you get when you press the action button in the middle of the directional pad + touch the clock icon on the today screen in the top right corner....
I know this is the RUN command just like the one in other windows OS...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so I tried pressing the action button for a second + pressing something else..
and when I tried the space between the start icon and Sync( or G or E.. etc) icon... I get a message as in the screenshot...
does anybody know what is this? or what is it for??
BTW.. it appears that it doesn't mater whether I press Yes or NO... nothing seems to happen, and no files or what ever is stored in the root or in My Documents..
Excellent find, very useful for developers!

wow, in substance u can retrieve infos on the current window in the screen like size name etc (but u can do it only if there is enough space between the title bar and the notification icons) even if I'm not a programmer, I guess it's very useful for others.. cool find :wink:
By MocciJ
Nice of MS to leave a built in functionality of the Spy++ utility.
Regarding the yes / no it doesn't create a file. If the window is a child (any window but the today screen) it shows the info on its parent.
For those who are not developers little explanation:
hwnd - window handle that the OS uses to identify and control windows
style / ex - windows style (border / ok button etc.) and extended style, determines how window looks and behaves.
Class - type of window (like button)
Window - total window size.
client - "client area" size. Internal par of the window not counting border scroll bars, menus etc.
Owner - parent window (the window that contains this one).
thank you levenum for your helpful explanation..
tested working in Wizard not only in Today screen but also while playing games
I do not want to be the one to spoil the moment but you can get that same info (and more) just by using a TaskManager with Windows Management feature :roll:
This is a small application codded in VB.NET for cropping contact photos by selecting the desired part of the photo. I've added special preset for SCLCP++ contact photos (the photos are cropped and resized 72x75).
Features:
- Open, save and crop PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP files
- Read contact photos form PocketOutlook
- Probably lot of bugs
A have attached 2 installers:
- Clean install no source included
- Full install vb.net sources are installed along application in "Source" folder
for other .net developers:
I have made a little .net class wrapper for gsGetFile.dll so if you want to use it or modify it please do so. The wrapper saves the last open and save folder in the registry so there's no need to do It in your code... the paths saved are per application
Developers please do not curse me for the more-than-not-optimal coding.. this is one of the first .net applications I've coded... and users please report the bugs you find..
Some known bugs:
- Not adequate behavior when no selection is made.
- When you open a file or get a contact picture the view mode is reset
- Selections from right to left mirror the selection
**************** Version 1.01 UPDATE
ChangeLog:
- Added crude support for SmartPhone (no touchscreen.. small dot for pointer)
- Renamed "Custom" preset to "Free"
- Added support for custom sized crops - new preset "Custom"
- Added "Settings" dialog for choosing the default OpenFile Dialog
- Removed sources from the installer (only in separate archive)
Some screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*** I hate the choose image dialog so I use the gsGetFile.dll's one.. maybe I will add a setting to switch the default dialog box.
Cool, prog! I've been exporting my pics to GIMP, editing them.. and then sending back to phone and its a pain! good job!
Cheers

Frickin awesome man..
I have been waiting for something like this. Can't wait to get home and try. well done!!!!
You should rename your files to show 1.0 version so that way when you update it we will know we are downloading the new one..Just an idea..
Awesome! I'll be using this a lot as loading up photoshop or GIMP is annoying!
I guess I'm a bit lazy for not trying it but does it work on WM Standard (non touchscreen) aswell??
Seems like a very nice app!!!
Very nice application.
Thank you
Nice work.
Just one slight problem... VS 2008 is refusing to convert the source code ... I'll tweak the settings and see what happens.

I've just updated the version to 1.01 (crude pseudo cursor). It will be nice if someone test it on SmartPhone...
this app seems exactly what I've been looking for, thx for the effort! let the contact-pics roll!
Great Idea and great application.
wonderful. thank you.
Does anyone knows where the pictures you take with the footprint cam are? I wanted to save them at my computer...
would like to know that as well. because i did not find it, i use the reg-edit:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
then you will have the option to take gps-pics (written into exif-data) with the usual cam, and full size.

Hi,
You can find it under: root (internal memory not memory card)/Application Data/HTC/HTCFootprint/
I didn't try it yet but you probably can't access the pictures through "Active Sync" or just by conncting with USB but you can use a filer application like "Total Commander" (free and very useful).
Good luck!
Footprints save your photos as small thumbnails 400x400 pixels, what makes them useless and the geotagging information is saved in a separate file turning the export of that photos to for example Google Earth a manual work (if you want to see the the photo in GE you have to copy/paste the informatin stored in the footprints file). More information here http://www.gadling.com/2009/03/25/product-review-htc-touch-cruise-with-footprints/.
I sugest you try locr_GPS_Photo_WM_1.0.1 here http://pt.locr.com/.

I use this tweak too but I have to launch any gps application before I start the camera otherwise the camera gets stucked in the initialising gps screen.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
on my jade, the camera does not stuck, but of course needs some time to find the gps-signal... how long did you wait?

Well, I tried everything but without sucess. If I launch a GPS program before starting the camera there's no problem and the fix is almost instantanious, but if I launch the camera without a GPS program I could wait for hours because the camera get's stucked in the "initializing GPS" screen. Maybe it's got to do with the ROM language. Anyone got a clue?
A big drawback for me with Android is the amount of shortcuts you can have on your main screen compared to WINMO,is there a way of being able to have more shortcuts or is that it?
Also -how do i install apps onto SD card,and what does "unmount SD card" mean?
Cheers
Long pressing on the screen gives a selection. You select shortcuts!
Now if you already knew that then the amount of shortcuts is based on how big and how many icons/Widgets/shortcuts you already have!

Thanks for that i didn't know that i will give this a go, ive only just installed Android onto my phone and am still getting used to it, web browsing and email is a lot better but the actual interface compared to a my customised WINMO leaves a lot to be desired.
Actually ive asked this question elsewhere and no one appeared to have answered yet,i didnt want every single email address some going back years to be synced to my SIM contacts and now my phonebook is absolutely huge, is there an easy way i can delete the contacts i dont want.
Thanks for your assistance

What you are looking for is a widget called MULTICON - it's free and you can find it on Android Market... What it does is widget fits 4 separate shortcuts into the space of one normal sized icon we all currently have. You can set in options to have customizable individual shortcut or leave it in sets of 4. Technically you can run 16 little (4 times smaller) shortcut icons in one line - times 4 = 64 shortcuts on one page of Android OS phone desktop - you get the picture now.

That is a fantastic tip! I am still a serious noob on Android, but that solved my last major gripe!
I have a huge problem.. Multicon is awesome, but I created a small widget (included) that controlled brightness, and for some silly reason I could choose 0% brightness! Now I dont know where I am on the phone to get it back to normal brightness.. Reboot doesnt help.. Anyone? Is there a file I can delete?
The easiest way to check a phone about its various functions or failure of such function is to use its own embedded testing .apk
How to access them is not normally Known to many
All you have to do is
1) Long Press your Desktop
2) Touch shortcuts
3) Touch Activities
4) And you can select activity of any application on your phone ( which has its own pulled down menu to chose from)
By selecting one you will have a shortcut of it placed in your desktop
so all you have to do is now touch that shortcut and its appropriate menu will open for you to test or select from
see screen-shots below
Assuming you have problems with USB connections, Blue tooth, WIFI, Network settings, whatever your phone is supposed to do, can be checked this way including running a ping test etc

If you are using XDA App or Tapatalk, long press on the post and select :good: Thanks Its easier to give "Feedback" in this manner than make an additional post.​
Direct shortcuts to activities can be quite useful. One of my main uses is to get access to the fullscreen feeds and updates widget (there is also an activity that allows you to select a few themes for it).
You do however need a launcher such as Launcherpro or Apex launcher installed to get this in the shortcut menu.
Thankyou so much for this insight, I spent 2 years wondering what this option was for and it never crossed my mind to actually try it
