[Droid Apps]: Screenshot Apps
Two screenshot apps up for review: drocap2 and screenshot.
Both of these apps do require root access, so if you’re not rooted they will not work.
First up: screenshot
This app works well enough, although you need to make sure to check “invert red and blue colors” or the screencap’s colors will be all screwy.
You can take the screenshot based on a timer or by shaking the phone, they both work well enough although the shake option tends to take 2 pictures rather then one.
You can save files as BMP, PNG or JPG images.

Next: drocap2
This screen cap is about the same as screencap, but it feels much more polished.
The interface loads as an overlay overtop of other apps (presumably what you would be taking a picture of) which is nice.
You can pick any time from 1 to 60 seconds using the slider which is more precise then screenshot’s drop-box.
You can set the capture mode under options to one of ether Timer, Shake, or Notification. Notification puts a button in your status bar that you press to take a picture.
There is also the option to enable a timer-tick sound for screenshots using drocap2.
You can save files as JPG or PNG.
————————————————-
Overall drocap2 is the winner with a better looking, better designed interface and a few more features.
