APP: UPDATE: Modified ScreenCap application 2.0 (ROKRE6 + A1200)

[sandman]

Hey, here's my modified version of the Screen Capture application

The original version takes 3 screen shots at one time...but I wanted just one at a time, so I modded it a bit...and with the help of showQ binary, put in popup alerts...

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
-> Get the MPKG installer from here if you don't already have it
-> Copy the two .pkg files to you phone memory card.
-> Run the two .pkg files with the MPKG installer to install them. (P.S. you need both to run this application)
-> Run the application from the phone application menu

APP INFO
This application uses the mcap binary to capture the screen as an image. It stores the images in the path defined by the variable MYIMAGES_PATH with the name scrraw_ddmmyyhhmmss.jpg after a pause defined by the sleep command.

dd = day
mm = month
yy = year
hh = hour
mm = minutes
ss = seconds

By default, the screen captures are taken after a pause of 5 seconds and stored in /mmc/mmca1/MyImages/

MODDING INFO

--> The path of the showQ binary can be changed by modifying the value of the variable EZX_DIALOG_BINARY

[EZX_DIALOG_BINARY='/mmc/mmca1/showQ/showQ' --> showQ in a folder called showQ in the memory card]

--> The screen captures can be stored in a different location by modifying the value of MYIMAGES_PATH

[e.g. MYIMAGES_PATH='/mmc/mmca1/ScreenCaps' --> saves screencaps in folder ScreenCaps in memory card]

--> Changing the duration of sleep will change the duration of pause before which the screen is captured

[e.g. sleep 10 --> for 10 second duration]

CHANGE LOG:

Version 1.1 to Version 2.0
1) Includes date binary so it will work on stock (non-modified) firmwares
2) Creates the MYIMAGES_PATH folder if it does not exist
3) Errors are logged in a file /mmc/mmca1/cap_err_log.txt if they cannot be displayed by the showQ dialog

I got the E6 too, not into the A1200 'cause it's a flip phone. =]

yeah it's not a stereo system like the e680i, but hey it works great.

OK, time for some bugreports...

1) If the directory in $MYIMAGES_PATH isn't defined, the application simply fails, without letting the user know that he needs to create the directory
2) In stock firmwares, the 'date' binary doesn't exist, so the filename is always scrraw_.jpg; busybox should be added to the requirements, so the 'date' alias can be used, guaranteeing that everybody can use the screen cap.

Other than that, thanks a lot and keep the good work, sandman!

Thanks, just tried it and posted the cap in the iPhoneSMS thread, one thing the photo viewer I use (Irfanview) say's that the capture is a BMP with invalid file extension, the forum software agrees, when I tried to attach as a .jpg got kicked back with that error message. Nice program though!
