what is the best setting for s3?
Unfortunately hardware encoder drivers on some variants of Galaxy S3 have some quirks making it impossible to record video with SCR. I'm working on adding software video encoder to SCR which should work on all devices. Unfortunately it won't be as fast as hardware accelerated encoder. If you'd like to receive pre-release work-in-progress version please get in touch via support email ( scr.screen.recorder@gmail.com ).

Recommended phones

Hi Developer,

I'm getting a phone just for this functionality and would like to use your App to do my screen casting work. Are there certain phone models you would recommend, where performance and stability have been good?

Thanks!

Working great on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. Very cool to finally find a screen recording app that actually works, on this device. Thank you for creating this software.

Many HTC devices are still not working corrctly. Especially on Android 4.0.x and 4.1.x. 4.2.x is a bit more stable.
I'm working on dedicated software encoding option to support problematic devices including HTX One.
This still require couple weeks of work. I'll be releasing an update with this encoder in second half of September.
Any news on this? I also own an HTC One X and cannot record anything because of the error above...

Did I say second half on September not October ;)
This feature got delayed because I decided to try different approach first (hardware encoding with software color conversion) which didn't work.
I'm working on this software encoding right now. You can find the latest work-in-progress version in the attachment. Note that it doesn't support sound yet and the encoding performance is not great. You can get better frame rate by reducing resolution and bitrate in SCR Settings.

I was actually wondering if it would be possible to add in a button combo to end recording, it seems using tincore along with scr makes it so when I close my screen (nvidia shield) it does not go into sleep mode, having me have to manually end the recording


Never mind about this. It seems it just takes longer then normal.

Error S255 (aka -1) is usually caused by root permissions issue or corrupted installation. Make sure that your superuser app (e.g. SuperSu) is up to date and that you granted permission to SCR. If that doesn't help try reinstalling SCR or tap "Report" on error message so that I can analyze the logs and help you with this issue.

It seems with the new update to Skype scr can record alongside Skype, seems it was an issue with Skype that was preventing audio recording. This is amazing.

Correction. If scr is running first it cuts off the audio recording on Skype, but it does not shut down. If a Skype call is going first then scr crashes to an error number.

SCR pro - is there any chance to pause and resume during video recording ?

Hi All,

I am new to this valuable forum and I'd like to ask a question as shown in the above title

Has SCR prog settings any way to pause and resume during a recording ? if not, could

You please consider these new option using a small botton placed in a corner of the phone / tablet

screen maybe whiot the chance possibility to choose which one among the 4 corners .... ?

Last but not least: SCR it seems working well also if I am on the beginning on usage on my Samsung Galaxy S3, rooted,
but my impression is positive and I think it could be properly improved for the future to mantain a lead position between
specific app's

Thanks in advance to let me know if any of these are already present or if I can count on a future setup

as suggested .


Regards
A.

    Official SCR Screen Recorder thread
    Check out SCR Screen Recorder, the Android most comprehensive screencast recording app.
    SCR Screen Recorder supports all Android versions since 4.0 and utilizes the best encoding method available on each platform. Since the first release in early 2013 SCR Screen Recorder is frequently updated and new features are added regularly.

    Unique features:
    • SYSTEM AUDIO (requires root) - On most devices you can directly record in-game audio without quality loss caused by microphone recording speakers output. The "Internal + Mic" option allows to add a microphone commentary to the system audio recording. At the moment this feature is not available on Android 4.2 but it'll be added soon.

    • FACE CAM - Share your emotions by adding a front-facing camera to your video. You can move the camera overlay around so that it doesn't obstruct important controls.

    • NO ADS - Unlike other "free" screen recorders SCR never display any ads. Development of all my apps is supported only by donations.

    • SETTINGS - No mater if you prefer to select simple presets or manually tweak every setting we've got you covered. SCR supports many customizations and provides performance and stability stats.

    • ALPHA FEATURES - Let us know what's important to you in this thread or by joining SCR Alpha Testing Google+ community at http://goo.gl/PGYZ8r

    SCR Screen Recorder uses various hacks and unofficial APIs which may not work on some devices and ROMs. If you encounter any issues try experimenting with different settings. In case that doesn't help select "Send bug report" from SCR Settings menu or ask for help in this thread. Note that some devices simply don't support certain encoding options so it doesn't make sense to complain that GPU+ image transformation doesn't work if GPU transformation works fine.

    Google Play ban and "Dangerous app" warning
    SCR Pro got recently banned on Google Play and my developer account got terminated.
    This is probably caused by the recent Google Play raid on apps switching SELinux to permissive mode. Unfortunately they haven't sent me the warning so I haven't got a chance to remove this feature. See SELinux section below for more details.

    Free SCR Pro for everyone!
    I don't want to charge anyone twice for the same app and no publishing method allows for migration of thousands users who already paid for the app, so I decided to release SCR Pro for free!
    You can grab the APK below and enjoy all the features of the latest release of SCR Pro on Google Play. No time limits, watermarks etc. Simply full-featured best Android screen recorder for free!
    Please consider donating to me, especially if you haven't purchased SCR Pro before, so that I continue development of this app.
    SCR Screen Recorder Pro v1.0.5
    SCR 5+ Pro v0.1.3 (no root, NO INTERNAL AUDIO, requires Lollipop)


    In case you don't know how much to donate, the previous price of this app was $5 :)

    SELinux details
    SCR Root switches SELinux to Permissive mode when it's running and restores it to the initial value after it's turned off. On most KK+ devices some SCR features won't work without disabling SELinux. Mainly the internal audio recording. If you'd prefer to try using SCR in SELinux enforcing mode let me know (state your Android version and why you need SELinux enabled during recording) and I may make this and option in SCR Settings.

    FAQ
    I’m getting error message when I start recording, what should I do?
    Try changing the resolution or switching between CPU/GPU image transformation mode. Some devices don’t support all settings combinations. If you can’t get any settings to work please tap “Report” button on error dialog and send a full report email including system log.

    The recording works fine except the strange colours
    Select “Inverted color fix” in SCR Settings.
    attachment.php


    Video contains some random colors instead of my screen
    This is caused by device video encoder crash. It usually can be fixed by changing Resolution.
    attachment.php


    The video is sideways, how do I rotate it?
    Just like default Android Camera app SCR checks the screen orientation when the recording is started and adds orientation metadata to the video file. Some video players (e.g. VLC) ignore orientation metadata and always display video horizontally. YouTube and default android video player can detect orientation metadata correctly and play vertical videos. If you want a video to use vertical frames instead of rotation metadata select "Show advanced" in SCR Settings menu and then select "Vertical frames". Note that hardware video encoders and video players on many devices don't support vertical frames especially on high resolutions.

    My phone gets really laggy when I start recording
    Phones hardware is not designed to record HD video and play 3D games at the same time so I have to push the limits. There is always going to be some slowdown. You can reduce a lag by reducing resolution and frame rate. Lower frame rate and lower resolution means that your phone needs less power for video encoding and has more spare resources to run other apps and games. If you’r running Android 4.3 try GPU+ image transformation mode which is much faster on some devices.

    Marshmallow support added

    I just released a small update adding Android 6.0 support.
    Sorry for the delay, I have very little time to work on this project lately.
    As I smashed my Nexus 6 I couldn't test it on any official Marshmallow ROM.
    I tested it on Nexus 4 Frank ROM and everything worked OK including internal audio.
    13
    So what are the benefits of this over screencast?
    There are quire a few benefits of SCR over Screencast:
    1. SCR supports Tegra devices
    2. it works on Jelly Bean
    3. on many devices it's much faster (e.g. on Nexus 4 you can record 720p@40fps with minimal CPU ussage)
    4. SCR UI uses an floating window displayed ontop other apps so that you can start recording without capturing recorder UI
    5. it's in active development i.e. I keep adding new features and fixing bugs

    SCR Pro is now FREE for everyone!

    After considering different ways to republish my app (Amazon App Store/new Google Play account/FDroid etc.) I decided to publish this app for free and hope that at least some of you will support my effort by donations :)
    I don't want to charge anyone twice for the same app and no publishing method allows for migration of thousands users who already purchased the app.
    You can grab the APK from this thread and enjoy all the features of the latest release of SCR Pro on Google Play. No time limits, watermarks etc. Simply full-featured best Android screen recorder for free!
    Unfortunately automatic updates won't work with sideloaded APKs but I'm going add update notifications directly to SCR in the future.

    Please consider donating to me, especially if you haven't purchased SCR Pro before!

    I see. Is the app open source at least?
    I'm thinking of opensourcing it but I doubt if anyone will continue work on this project.
    Building SCR requires 1TB of free disk space and around 4 days of compiling.

    It would make more sense to opensource the audio driver only but it would require quite a bit of additional work to write a stand-alone installer. I'll look into it when I have some free time.
