does your cellphone do screenshots?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Fletch XXX · 12-12-2011, 07:53 AM

mine does not.

seems like a basic function of an OS, i dont mind buying an app, but why use third party for something as basic as a screenshot?

does your phone do screenshots natively?

you need to "Root" your Android phone.

There is an App called "Shoot Me " (that doesn't require rooting) but i have not tried it yet

thats why i made this thread... why does a basic function such as screen-capture call for rooting?

yeah i hav apps for it, just dont understand why they rather me spend 4.99 on a third-party app to shake my phone and take a screenshot when it should just be part of the OS, even without the shake-capture.

I hear ya, i don't wanna root my phone either, warranty is voided when you do
I got the trial for that one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.liveov.shotux
Works fine for now, i might just buy it when the trial is over...

dont know if you know this one also, if you are on a webpage and you want to save an image tap the image and hold until a prompt comes up to save into your photos.

This is something that's built into CyanogenMod Android builds...and it works.

If you're running Android and aren't using CM7, you're missing out.

Don't be afraid of rooting your phone. You can always flash back to stock if you need to do warranty stuff. I've never had a single issue.

Thanks for that, what is the easiest way to root your phone?
