[Q] How to make screenshots?

[MaluNoPeleke]

How can you take a screenshot from the Atrix?
My phone is rooted and I have tried several apps from the market but none of them worked on the Atrix.

can we please sticky this? it's been answered dozens of times.

plug into your PC, get the android SDK, find ddms.bat in the tools folder, grab screenshot. that is the only way right now.

1, Download and install Myphoneexplorer
2, Start MPE and plug in your phone
3, From the upper menu chose "Screenshot"
4, Save

That's the easiest way to shoot your screen!

Or just download screen capture shortcut from the market. You don't even need to be rooted.

i bet you that is doing exactly the same thing as what i posted, just wrapped up in a third party GUI. regardless, go that route if you wish.

too bad when you look at that app in the market it says it only supports the galaxy S and tab. If you had an atrix you'd know that doesn't work on this phone.

You said that the SDK-way is the only way at the moment. I just showed TS that it isn't.

And the SDK can be kinda of confusing to begin with if you aren't used to it. That's why MPE is an easier way to go all around imo.

you're right, wasn't trying to sound jerkish. I was just pointing out that i bet it is doing the same thing, using the SDK stuff.

FWIW, the ddms.bat is really not confusing. it launches a nice windows with clear menus. Under a menu at the top is a screen shot option. Much nicer than the command prompt stuff you usually use abd for.
