Help CAPTURE SCREEN do any download ?

I'm not totally sure I understand everything from the original question, but the $2.99 screenshot app that I think you refer to clearly states that you need root to make it work.

That said, this app was designed for the G1. Screenshots are tricky in Android because some manufacturers don't have the display going through a framebuffer. Screen updates are faster that way, but it's tricky to grab what's on screen.

There are a few different ways you can screen cap. One requires a very in depth means, requiring you to download ADK and something from Java. After doing that, you would then need to plug your phone into your PC to take screen shots.

Screenshots can also be taken if you have Open Home installed on your android. There is a setting that will allow you to screen cap there as well.
