Yeah I just noticed that ShootMe was dead after the update. I'm really surprised that there is no built in option to do something as simple as taking a picture of your screen.

It only worked before because of a security hole in the system. Even their market page says it requires a rooted device. I think I prefer a secure phone versus a screen shot app. It would be nice to have that feature return.

So far I have noticed that the Android wallpapers are gone also. I thought I messed up my phone until I saw your posts above. I didn't really use them. I like the HTC ones better. But it was still nice to have that option.

Is it just me, or does anyone having a problem with the shootme app? All of a sudden it's a rooted access only?

iirc, that happened after one of Sprint's OTA updates

must have root since Sprint patched up the problems on the phone

That sucks! Any screenshot apps that doesn't require root access?

I don't believe so

I'll say it again, that sucks... But thanks guys. I've already uninstalled Shoot me.

But...why? I understand them trying to stop the free tethering and such with roots, but a screen cap app? Why would they care about that?

I'm sure they weren't going after that app specifically (or that ability), it is just a side effect of whatever security update they did employ.

App always required root. Says so in market. BUT ... a security hole allowed it to work on non rooted devices. That hole fixed, now need root access as the developers intended.

Nothing to do with Sprint.

It sucks, because you want to show off your screens you learned how to make from reading this forum

 

[darthstorm528]

Is there a way to fall back to the previous firmware?

Install the SDK on your computer, and use DDMS for screencaps. Piece of cake. I'm rooted, and I still prefer DDMS over ShootMe.

(Rooting's a piece of cake, too, although I did have the advantage of not having the update installed first.)
