[Q] disable screen capture

---

Hi,

Looked around but I didn't see a post on this. Is there a way to disable the screen capture feature? I am tired of taking images of my screen and having the home button capturing images of my screen. If any one knows that would be great.

Stock ROM?

If stock rom delete screencaptureservice.apk

How would I go about removing or freezing it?

you need root, but if you're on XDA ''developers'' , I suggest you already have...
otherwise use the universal root.zip at the dev section of the gio..

then install an app like titanium backup..

freezing is disabling the app, but not removing it.
removing does remove the app ofcourse

I have titanium backup installed already but I don't see a file called screencapture... My filters are set to "ALL" so I should be able to see everything. Is there another file I should be looking for?

it really is called screencaptureservice.apk , use a file browser and go to system/app , maybe titanium can't find all .apk's

I found it in /system/app using Root Explorer but how to I go about freezing it do I just back it up and the remove it??

Move it to your sd card, somewhere..
