Mecha 118 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hello mobile warspear players. I am trying to find a way to take screenshots on my new phone. Its a Huawei ascend 2 (american phone). the one I had before this was the Huawei Ascend, and I had an app on it that let me take screenshots without rooting my phone. I have tried to find a similar app for this phone. But they all require root access, or must connect phone to laptop to enable screenshots by running a .bat file, and must do this each time I restart my phone... I cant even get those apps to work, even the 1 I purchased... so I decide to root. downloaded the zip file, did all the steps.. Unsuccessful. I tried to root a different method, same. come to find out, cant root after recent firmware update. can anyone help? Can I/should I downgrade my phone for root access? or is there any other way I can take screenshots on this phone? I wanna take screenshots but I play on mobile 99.99999999999% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eregion 1 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I know its not easy way but root your phone (i used superoneclick root) and install the mother of all custom roms: CyanogenMod 7.2/9 or 10.I'm sure you'll find an unofficial Rom on xda devs side :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodylipa 1 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have been digging in this mess too and I really wanted a screen shoot app for my sony ericsson x10 mini pro, OS android. But all software compadible ive found needs rooting and I dont feel like im comfortable trying to root it. Id love a non-root software. Great post.

Marcin 7 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 If your Android version is Gingerbread or lower I think its impossible to do screenshots without rooting it. ICS and JB have built in screenshot feature (volume up + power button on most of phones). You might want to try flashing 3rd party roms (like CyanogenMod or MIUI), those have Screenshot feaure in Gingerbread roms. But that requires rooting as well.

Bloodylipa 1 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 My Xperia runs on Android 2.1 and according to sony ericsson its the final firmware patch for my model (no more updates). So is it possible to update to other android patches like newer xperia mini phones patches, cause im pretty sure they run on newer patches then me? And how messed up would things get if I tried putting in a OS compatible with a more advanced xperia? Any clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vomm 0 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hmm Type Screenshot UX on the playstore and download the trail one. Your phone might not need to be rooted in order for it to work. If it works and you like it then buy the full version ;D O:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phone might not need to be rooted in order for it to work. If it works and you like it then buy the full version ;D O:-) I have tried that one, I think I must have tried every screenshot app on the app store. they either require root, or connect to pc, or only support few unrooted devices. for the moment, if I want to take screenshots, Im gonna have to log in my laptop (hope I dont get tether-block again) or login on my old phone. thanks all for your help, if I find a definite solution I will post it here.
