Hello guys i have found a cool app
DESCRIPTION:
Record video from the screen of your
device to make app promos or tutorials.
Z-ScreenRecorder PRO needs ROOT
PERMITION to run.
TRY THE FREE VERSION FIRST TO ENSURE
THIS APP WORKS PROPERLY ON YOUR
DEVICE.
Z-ScreenRecorder allows record video
directly from the screen of your device to
the SD.
It Is designed to create promotional videos
of your apps,make tutorials or simply
record clips to use as help.
It's extremely simple to use:

only problem i think is that i guess it records video @ 10 fps only..

With CM7 it doesn't work, with CM9 it's sooooo slow!
I can scroll down and up the notification bar three times and the record just shows one action...

If you are running KitKat, there is the new screen recording built into the OS, accessible through the command
Code:
adb shell screenrecord
or through the android device manager in eclipse.
Otherwise, don't expect good results because if not built into Android, it's kinda hard to record on a high frame rate without slowing everything down

thank you

Do you know if in Kikat there are an API to take screenrecord directly by an application and store the video in a file?
My application isn't fast, so can you tell mee how Can I recorcord on a low frame rate (without android 4.4)?
Thank you

There are some root tolls to do it without Kitkat like this one: http://lifehacker.com/scr-screen-recorder-for-android-captures-high-quality-s-995276159
I'd recommend using the adb method though. If your app isn't fast, improve it.

There seems to be an app in the play store that can do it: Screencast.
I haven't used it so can't say if it works well, let me know how it does!
Edit: Fail you need root... Better read before everything else xD
Edit2: Found a nice article that could help you here.

I can vouch for screencast - we used it for promo videos a while ago and it does a good job (needs root though)

Thank you but I need to be not root... I think it's is possible to take screen capture (image), so is it possible to add a lot of images (of screen capture) in a video directly by an application?
Thank you

Wait... you want to create an app that offers that kind of functionality to other apps or do you want to capture the main content of your application???
If you want to make an app for this functionality, without root I don't see an option to do that. For your own app, you can try to constantly call getDrawingChache() on your view on top of your view hierarchy and then write that bitmap to a file... But I dougt that will give good results, as it is not working on a surfaceView for instance.

YouTube app play back with screen off

Hi does anyone have a apk for YouTube so I can playback with the screen off thanks

Try Viral:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Mata.YTplayer

It has 1mil downloads, but it looks like the recent update from YouTube makes it crash.

Ok thanks so much

Just downloaded it yup I can confirm it crashes any other suggestions thanks

that's weird, it works perfect on mine.
make sure it's on hardware acceleration under settings.
and try setting the video resolution to 360p.

Ok I will try that thanks

I've been using this one for a long time. Still works great for me. Just remember to refuse the update (every once and a while when you start the app it will say a newer version is available on app store, just say no...)

Anyone tried call recording yet?

Anyone tried any call recording software yet?
Are you root/non root?
Which app do you use?
Does it record the audio stream or just what the microphone picks up from the speaker?

I use ACR - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr
It works perfectly fine to record both sides of the conversation.
The incoming audio is a little on the softer side but still very audible
I paid for the licensed version as well.

What config do you use???

Any way to kill that on going notification for ACR? I was going to disable it in the settings but it warns this might kill the app.

I disable it in the settings and it works just fine.
Just add ACR to your unmonitored apps under battery so that Doze does not kill the app

What's so much better of it that it results in the $7 extra premium over ACR licensed version?
Serious question - may switch to it

1. The programmer communicates with you if you have a problem. I've written him over XDA a couple of times, and he has always helped me.
2. If the app does not support the mobile phone (new models on the market), just write to him and he looks at it right away.
3. Regular updates.
4. Many options for recording such as formats, filters etc.
5. When you start the app for the first time, the application will set itself the most suitable settings for that mobile.
6. You don't need to have root.
Look, I tried many apps, but Call Recorder is the first choice for me.

ACR does all that and I spoke with the developer when I got the S8 and he fixed the issue instantly and issued an update within hours
I may download the trial app and see how it works/looks

Wow, so might not need root after all!

Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus has more than 28 variants, some of them uses the Qualcomm MSM8998 chip, some of them uses the Samsung Eynos 8895 chip.
Boldbeast Recorder records calls crystal clear in two directions, from users' reports so far, all Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus variants work well, no root needed. Detailed information: https://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1438-galaxy-s8-call-recorder.html

I tried Boldbeast but it does not record properly. It asks me to remove all other recorders, which I do not have in the first place. I even removed the default voice recorder, but it still asks me to remove other recorders. Strange. I uninstalled the app.

Most possibly, you enabled the OK Google app in your phone. OK Google is occupying the microphone, it is continuously picking up sound from the microphone to recognize your "voice command", and this blocks Boldbeast working. Please disable the "Settings > Google > Search > Voice > OK Google detection > From any screen" option in your phone, then it works at once.
About the "can not record any call" problem, actually there are 7 possible reasons, have a look at the [001] part in this page: http://www.boldbeast.com/android/call_recorder_troubleshooting.html
Test again, it 100% works.

Used to use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en
It quit working on my Galaxy S8.
I tried using Boldbeast as some people stated here but it didn't even record. No recordings where found.
I am using ACR as also indicated on here and it seems to be working for the moment.
I am using the AT&T Galaxy S8. do I have the one that doesn't support call recording? I was reasding on other forums and people are saying some S8s are blocked from recording calls.

Samsung Android 7 or Samsung S7 Android 6?

The Android Oreo update has impacted recording on some Samsung S8 and 8+ and all S9's. I've been a paid user of ACR for a year now and it's awesome, but even they are scratching their heads about this b/c it's impacting everyone.

Native call recording is the best, and free. But need root.

Google Camera problems.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.

Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture

And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3

I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".

i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1

I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.
