Hi guys, first I know this post has nothing to do with PL, but there are no "off-topic" yet.
Second, I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to read it.

My computer is broken, so I can't use it to post screenshots here.

I found a way to do it using only my Iphone. (So I share with ya'll, with a quick tutorial)

First you need to download from Itunes two apps that are FREE:

- CropForFree (used to rotate your pict to 90 degres since screenshots from PL will be on landscape mode)
- Photobucket Mobile (Image Hosting website app)

To take a screenshot: you have to push the home and power buttons of your Iphone at the same time (some people still don't know that)

Let's say I want to post the screenshot of the log in screen

Open the app "cropforfree"

The first screen will tell you to choose an existing picture from your camera roll.

Tap and choose the pict you want. (here the log in screenshot)


http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/utopi3103/6b766794.jpg

Tap on rotate 90degres, so you get this:

http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/utopi3103/a24d8fa5.jpg

Now tap on save (the pict will go automatically to your camera roll)
Close this app.

Open Photobucket Mobile

Create an account if you don't already have one ( It takes 10sec and its free)

When you done, Tap on "upload media"

http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/utopi3103/6beed59c.jpg

Now tap on "choose existing" and choose the pict you just created the step before using Cropforfree. The pict/screenshot will start uploading automaticaly.

When the transfer is done, tap on "my album", then tap on the picture. The picture will show full screen

http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/utopi3103/a65bf1cc.jpg

Now tap on the "I" on the bottom right corner, you'll get this:

http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/utopi3103/26d6a206.jpg

Now tap on the last line , the code (adress of the pict on the hosting website) will be copied automaticaly.

You done!!! Now just go on Spacetimestudio website and paste it where you want in your thread.

[IMG]http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/utopi3103/9b071f28.jpg

I hope this will help people who didn't know how to post picts and really wanted to show their badasss PL screenshots!
I created/posted this thread using only my Iphone :)

NB: Of course there are many other apps that will let you rotate and upload pictures. But those two are pretty easy to use.

The funny thing is that I have the CropForFree app, and I never knew it could rotate pics. I thought all it did was crop! :o

Thanks for the awesome guide. This process will be much easier than my previous method of emailing myself the pics, rotating them in Paint.NET, uploading them to Imageshack, and (finally) posting on the forums. Now I can do it all from the iPhone!

re-edit:
PvP just told me that he was able to make it work with his Itouch. Maybe you should give it another try.

I think you still should give it a try, maybe your Ipod is not the same gen as Flamin. I don't have a Ipod, I would have try it.
Let me know.

It doesn't matter what order you press the buttons in, as long as you hold the first one down while you press the second one, it works both ways.

Kurlz
08-30-2010, 01:53 PM
easier way to rotate: hold your ipod however the ss is, when in your pictures, turn your ipod, the pic should turn as well, keep turing your ipod untill the picture is right side up, with the bottom of the pic towards the home button, take a screenshot that way. itll save the pic right side up

How do i take screenshots with android

Dayminkaynin
11-29-2010, 06:51 PM
Can't you just press the home and sleep buttons to take a screen shot?

ManBearZombie
11-30-2010, 07:26 PM
I have a Droid 1. The home button drops you out of the game and the power/sleep button puts your phone in sleep mode. I know you can get photobucket moblie for android phones but I still haven't found an app that will let me take screen shots in game.

For android

1: there are several screenshot applications in the market, AND if you have gingerbread, you don't need root permissions.
Some of the apps only require you to shake your phone in order to take the SS.
2: my favourite way is to use ddms (which comes with the android SDK)
Go to developer.android.com, download the sdk, install it as per the instructions on the site, and fire it up.
Select your device, then screen capture from the menu and there you go. ;]
Be sure to download and install the adb usb drivers though, otherwise windows won't recognise the adb bridge. Linux users should be fine without additional tinkering with the system.
Note for linux: when you uncompress the sdk in a particular directory, make sure you add it to $PATH.
for ddms to work, you NEED to have adb running (server). Just run it once with "adb shell" and it should be fine, until you restart.
If anyone needs to be walked through these instructions, PM me.

I just use screensplitr but that works too. xD
Screensplitr lets u view ur iphone on ur comp, then i just take the pic while im playing instead of having to multi task and upload it straight

Pharcyde
03-04-2011, 07:09 PM
That requires you to connect to your computer, which is tedious. Then generally people like to post pictures to the forums. So you would have to upload to photobucket anyways. This way is the easiest and fastest way to post a pic from your ipod to forums.

Stupid question probably, but has anybody made a similar guide for android that works without "illegal" means and doesn't involve using one device to snap the other? Is there even any way to screenshot on unrooted?

I'm on 2.2.1 not 2.3.

Asking because adwin's post is confusing and seems to imply root only.

Hello, welcome to the forums!

1. Please don't necro.
2. The contest submission thread is not here, nor is it on the Announcements thread, nor is it on the General Discussion thread.
3. The contest ended three days ago.
4. Bglur sounds a lot like Bglir.
