Has anyone been able (or even tried) to use the ShootMe app on a non-rooted NS? When I had the Epic 4G awhile back, I was able to use ShootMe with no problems, and it was not rooted.
When I goto accept the agreement, it says to make sure that my device is root and that I have access to low end graphics (or something like that). Just wondered if there was a setting that I could do, to get it to work - without having to root.
Thx!

I think you have to be rooted....
It can confirm Shootme works on NS if you have root.

I tested it before rooting openness and it didn't work.
Thx for your replies guys. What has me puzzled, is that I used it on the Epic and I did NOT have that rooted. So I was hoping there was a way to get it to also work on the NS, as I know nothing about how to root! lol
Oh well, it is what it is - thx again!

+1 (that was AWESOME!). Nice of Google to actually come out and say it too.
In the ShootMe description, they do say you must be rooted. I use drocap2 for my screenies, and it's the same deal.

It's best to learn yourself, because that way you know what happens to your phone.
I no longer root other people's phone or mod it in any way. There is always that .00001% chance the phone would brick. I would feel horrible if I broke somebody's phone.
Not to be mean either but people come back to me for "Tech support" Blaming me that there phone isn't working properly because I "Rooted it" for them.
Also.. it's really easy to do. I mean all you have to do is:
-Get samsung drivers
-Put phone in USB Diagnostic Mode
-Run the Noobnl one click root.
Your done.
Like Pjames said.. Believe in yourself and have confidence.
Bomix is right. And its SUPER easy. If you have windows 7 you might have a smig harder time. I had to run the program 7 times to get it to finally connect and do it. But that just required double clicking it to try again. Also restaring the phone and then running the program when you see the sprint logo worked for me. But anyways, you really can't get easier than this, when I had to root my nexus one it took me forever with all the software, and dos cmd commands.

You can use Wifi Tether, look it up on the market it's free.

Yes, but a much, much better solution is here. Infrastructure mode, and nicely integrated into the Wireless & Networks section of the Settings app. I've installed and tested it on the MixUp kernel, and it works like a champ.

So once rooted, you don't need a special setting/program to tether, you can just use tethering programs and assume it is free?
In WM there's always the settings/program that I was paranoid about having wrong.
No... you don't use the Sprint hotspot app. This mod integrates a wireless Access Point feature/capability directly into the phone.
After installation, a new item appears in menu->settings->Wireless & networks -- "Mobile AP".
Select it, and turn it on with the checkbox. Wait while it configures everything in about a minute, then look for it with any wireless device and connect same as any AP. The device will now have internet access via your Epic.
This solution beats any other simply on account of the Infrastruture Mode implementation; however, the tight integration directly into the Android system beats the app approach too, for my tastes.
The SSID, DHCP server address range, and other wifi router/AP parameters are configurable.

just keep in mind this mod only works on stock/odexed ROMs, which if all you are doing is rooting, you have. if that is too much then you can get wifi tether but i think the market version still doesnt work on the Epic (correct me if thats changed).
the working version is here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
but you have to go to settings > applications > check unknown sources to install a file downloaded from non-market source.

As others have stated, you really should do it yourself and learn. Unless of course you dont ever plan on getting another phone that you plan to root. Most of the guides on XDA offer wasy instructions and have (some) members that will be patient and offer you assistance if you need it.
It really isnt that difficult with the guides and instructions some have posted. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067. My 12 year old nephew followed that post, and with minimal questions rooted his phone on his own without any issues.

Trying to take a screen shot of my quadrant score but the ShootMe app I had on my Cappy apparently doesn't like this thing.... it installs just fine on my rooted Atrix, and then tells me I need to have a lower resolution for this to work! Well, sorry, that's not why I bought this phone!
Anyone know of a FREE Screen Shot app that the Atrix likes? Since they all have stupid names, it's kinda hard to find them on the market.... Also, using Droid Explorer produces a blank image on the screen and when saved, so that's out too
The error ShootMe is giving, right after it flashes on the screen that it has been granted Superuser permissions, is this:
"Failed starting server. Please check that you have ***ROOT*** access on your device and enable access to lower level graphics."

I haven't received the update yet myself, so I'm not sure. I'd be inclined to think that it probably won't work. Maybe something like Gingerbreak will. I've seen around various forums where several Pro users have received the update, but none of them are trying to see if currently available means will root it yet.

I think a lot of people (myself included) are unsure of the consequences yet. It's my wife's phone so I wouldn't take a chance on messing it up since she also uses it for work.

Oh and FYI she did receive update early yesterday.

Trying to use Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick shouldn't mess up anything at all. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, the rooting process should just fail and that's it.

Well since I got my replacement evo, it came with GB so I lost root and access to my screenshot app for rooted phones.
I searched and all I found was the android sdk and screenshot it which is tethered and your phone needs to be plugged into the computer every time you reboot.
Any other options?
If you can turn on USB debugging, you might be able to use ddms.bat included with the Android SDK (for Windows). It takes a second to start up, but if it finds your EVO, you can choose "Device, Caputre Screenshot" and win.
It's not the best solution, but might be the only solution. Requires a USB cable.
So I have to plug it in every time to take a screenshot or is this a one time deal?
Search for app called shootme.

^ ! Exactly why I'm asking.
You can set up QtADB and do screenshots but only when your phone is plugged in usb. At least that way you can do it graphically instead of command line.

A lot of ppl got it to work unrooted
Sent from the Evo
yeah but they recently updated the app and its no longer working without root.
There's an app called No Root Screenshot It in the market for $4.99. It's fairly easy to setup, and the only catch is you have to re-enable it everytime your phone reboots thru the PC program that is required to install it. I use it on my unrooted EVO 2.3.3 and it works great.
Edit: Ah I just noticed in your OP about Screenshot It. It's not so bad with the re-enabling and stuff. Usually I'm home when I reboot, so it isn't a big deal to me. Still gets the job done for us who got screwed with a 2.3.3 refurb.
I think some versions of the Evo's software have allowed it without root, and some haven't. I think it's gone back and forth a few times, and I'm not sure why they can't make up their mind.
An unrestricted ability to take screenshots could be a security risk, as an app could run in the background and take screenshots while you're entering your credit card info or whatever. But I don't see why they couldn't have it built into Android and protected with defined permissions, just like other sensitive operations are.
ShootMe worked on my Evo before I rooted it - this was back on whatever version was before 3.70 (3.30, I think). If it's ShootMe that doesn't allow for non-rooted screenshots, I have an older version you can try out. If it's your phone, you're going to have to do it the hard way.

It's certainly worth trying the older version, but I think it's dependent on the ROM rather than the shootme version.
Do we need help getting root on this phone, or is everything the same as the international version? I have my phone in hand, if anyone needs system dumps or anything like that.

No, because then who are the dumb a$$es going to blame and bug if it does not work, or breaks something.
Not a smart idea for a dev to post something that they are not sure of, and possibly have people lose faith in that developer. I know as a dev I would not post ANYTHING, that I was not sure if it worked or not. Even if I did it on a test unit, and not a retail phone.

Unless you're going to install a custom ROM, it's not as important anymore to root these phones.
The SIII lets you uninstall [disable] almost any stock app you want.
After disabling a ****-load of stock apps, I am getting awesome battery & performance from my S III.
I'd like to see some theming and custom ROM's and overclocking though of course.

Eh, that's debateable. In the end it boils down to what you want to do with the device. For me? I want root so I can reinstall Cerberus to the System folder so even if someone wipes my phone, I can still track it. Can't do that without root.

Yea, this is actually the first AT&T Smartphone where I haven't cursed them out for the amount of bloatware installed. Granted I did immediately load Apex Launcher to tide me over until I can install CM9. I hate how touchwiz looks, but that's not AT&T, that's Samsung. This thing honestly speeds along, especially with websites. I'm also apparently in an LTE test area.....with a piss poor signal I was pulling about a 20mbit download and 13 mbit upload. I have to say, it's faster and more responsive than my GSII with CM9. That's impressive considering it is running TW.
Also from looking at his posts he did order it....so he could be using the GNex until he can. Though this pretty much is the GNex....just not running stock Android.
