No way to capture the screen on AOS <6 w/out root, amiright? (answer: no, apparently?)
This is what I found for screen capturing:
- Screenshot Assistant requires AOS 6 or later (no known archives of older versions)
- AndroSS requires root
- Screenshot Tile oldest archived version requires AOS 7
There is an adb
method that works by running the Java desktop client net.srcz.android.screencast.Main
, but there is no way to capture the screen if you’re not near a PC with adb. I got burnt because I needed to capture the window of a broken captive portal, and the browser refreshes the screen when it’s backgrounded and then brought back to focus.. which is a bit fucked up of a behavior.
update
I just found this post which mentions some options that my search missed.
