There are a ton of other reasons I have for wanting to root my phone, but that is definitely one of them. I think there are at least 5 apps on here that I don't need or want, but the phone won't let me delete them.  |
Corporate Calendar, anyone? Gods know that there are things I want gone from my awesome phone....

'93 early enough? I got my start in computers using a TI-99/4A, and played around with a couple of HeathKits and Sinclairs over at my best friend's house down the road....
I am going on 39 (March) if it helps put it in perspective.

Android: Can I take a screen capture from an app?

And I found this for drocap:
Does ADC2 Entry DroCap Exploit a Root Hack? - Android Developers | Google Groups
According to the thread:
Quote:
The only way to take screen captures on an Android device requires
root. This application made no indication that it required root, did
not request root permission from me, and proceeded to attempt to gain
root through the use of a vulnerable exploit path (which has since
been patched in Android 1.6, and the Motorola CLIQ; however, I cannot
say about whether this is true on other Android 1.5 devices). I had
this app to review in the Round 1 of voting (I thought I flagged it as
inappropriate, but maybe not), and got it again in Round 2, which
disappointed me. I did not flag it as inappropriate in the second
round because I decided that if Google allowed an exploit to go
through into Round 2, who was I to argue.

That being key. However, I also found the .APK, so....
