Screenshot app for unrooted Desire (?)

Hi guys!
Is there an app to take screenshot images and save them in the storage card directly as camera does. I don't want to root my device just for this purpose, at least not before the official froyo upgrade. Thx

Try shootme, from the market.

Shoot Me requires root. You can use the Android SDK.

Android SDK is the only way if you dont have root AFAIK

well.. where to find android sdk? it is not available on the market. Thanks for replies..

It's not a phone app, it's a desktop development environment for Android:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Available for Windows/Mac/Linux

this link tells you how to take screenshots using the SDK

No app does this yet... Site Shot gets the closest with a functional, albeit limited, workaround. Some other apps like Gensoid allow them to take screenshots too.
So the method suggested above is what works.

Thanks mates..
Site shot seemed only for web browser pages, didnt try anything else with it though. Android sdk seems the only way to do that, so far. Actually i'd thought an app similar to wm app "shake n save" could be found for android too.

There is a game called farm towers. In that game it allows you to take screen shots. On my cdma htc desire I was able to take screen shots while playing the game. It force closed but it saved the screen shot

andriod commander is fab .. for screen shots

I looked on the market and didn't see anything called that at all. Do you have the link?

MyPhoneExplorer

Screenshot

How come all of apps to take a screenshot of your phone are for rooted phones only? Are there any that you don't have to be rooted?

There is a tool in the android sdk called ddms you can use which does not require root.

I was able to use a app simply called screenshots by geeksoft it's pretty good in it was able to be used without rooting the phone

^does the "shake" option work for you?

Question about the market from a total noob

Hello all. Had an iPhone then a windows phone 7 device until about a week ago. Bought an Orange san Francisco, cracking little phone. I had rooted it and was running a custom firmware. I like Android so much I bought a desire he yesterday, it rocks. The question I ask, is on the san Francisco, if I search for say "youtube downloaded" in market place I get a lot more results that if I do the same search on my desire hd. I'm using the newest market place app on both and both are on the same WiFi network. Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked previously, but I can't figure out how to search in the xda app, please don't flame me for my ignorance.

Could only guess due to different versions of android. if you are sure that you are using the same Search string in Market then am puzzled too.

I have 2.2 on my desire, but used both a leaked custom 2.2 curtosey of modaco, and a standard 2.1 on the Dan Francisco. Is there an alternative web place I can get the free android apps from. Note, in not requesting free apps, just an alternative place I can search for the free apps.

The fast boot option hides some apps in market. Try unchecking that.
It is in Settings -> Applications

You can try Appbrain, and in DHD try HTC Likes - it inturn searches market but they are very usefull in app discovery.

The fast boot settings says, u need to disable this for some market apps to work. NOt sure whether will it hide anything from showing to the user...

If you have rooted your Desire HD take a look for Market Enabler on the market.

update app without user interaction

Hi all
I would like to know if it's possible to update a third party application without user action.
I noted that the android market can self-update the installed apps. The user is not asked about an acknowledgment.
I don't want to offer my self-coded app in the market. I found a way to update this app from my homepage, but the user must this affirm.

you could make a service that runs when the phone boots up that checks whether a new version exists, and if it does it downloads it.

thanks for your help.
That's not the problem. The download and the install works fine. All I want is to get rid of the dialog asking the user whether he want to update or not.

sorry ignore, misread the question

if after installing the app you open the app from within the market again, it gives you the option of auto-updating?

my application is not available on the market. it's a business applikation only used by our company. therefore i don't want to upload it to the market.

oh I get you. I know it must be possible because like you said the market can do it, but I don't know how, sorry.
ill do some digging and see what I can find.

New Android market

Has anyone tried the new market to see if it works on the TF??
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/O7AIK6RLAL
http://androidapproved.com/item/android-market-updated-to-v3-4-4-download-here/

It would seem that it does. I just grabbed the update for Google Maps and before the update started, the EULA for the Market popped up. I didn't see any visible changes before I exited though.
EDIT: sorry, looks like the update I got was to 3.3.11

I tried it and it wont install. Im not rooted but I dont think that has anything to do with it.

working on my rooted transformer no problems.

Works here too (rooted). In landscape mode it shows bars on each side.
Did you uncheck Unknown sources in Settings Applications?

im guessing its the phone version of the market judging by the black borders as opposed to the tablet version.

You don't need to install it, just move the apk to /system/app (the name should be vending.apk).
Edit: don't forget to set the correct permissions and clear market data in Settings > Applications > All

I got the "new market" a coule weeks ago as an automatic update? and I have to say its SHIIIIT :S
Why did they change the tablet versio? the market it came with was perfect?

I agree, the previous version was much better. Now it's loading for ages and is really more for phones than tablets.

I am now in v3.3.11, and the market is really faster !
I drop down from 10s to 1s to show any page in this new version !
Much better ! It was really annoying !

guys i installed the new market but i dont like it.how i can revert it back to the previous version?i have revolver 3.9.5 rom!!thx.

Auto updated for me today. Seems to be working well so far

Google had quite some issus with the performance on market .. i've experienced many outdated infos on my app-statistics.
At the moment it seems to be fixed .. but they have some translation issues right in the developer-pages .. whatever - nothing neckbreaking ;-)

They even removed the charts for a while because they were showing huge (really huge) drops in most applications (even the most popular ones). Charts are OK now, but installs in developer panel are still much off I think (they show different values than the charts and they doesn't seem to update - or maybe my apps are so unpopular, haha).
All this said I think it's not releated to the slow market application. It should be managed by different servers.

I've been using the 3.3.12 version because I wanted the music stuff that wasn't in .11 and I'm very happy with that version. I know I found it here on XDA by using the search function.
