Title: Mobile Device Screen Shots
Post by: Phienyx on August 29, 2011, 12:28:12 pm: I have yet to be able to locate information on how to take screenshots (from my mobile) of my devices home screens. I have an HTC Evo 4G and would like to show off my FA logo wall paper and lock screen.

Any of our techies have any idea how I can do this?

Download ShootMe.

Not Rooter?
Hook up your phone and use DDMS to pull a screenshot.

Note:
In testing multiple devices, I've come across two that do NOT require root to have ShootMe run. I don't remember which ones they were. It did not work for my EVO before I rooted, but that was a long while ago.
Try ShootMe if you're not rooted. It might work, it might not. /shrug
