The problem with SIII is that there are shedloads of different phones all branded by Samsung as Galaxy SIII.

On some variants I couldn't get the hardware encoder to work at all and only "Software MPEG4(slow)" is usable.

Other variants were unstable on Android 4.0 but worked fine on Android 4.2+.

Unfortunately I don't know of any fix for this issues right now. I'm constantly working on improving stability and performance so hopefully it'll get better for your variant of SIII over time as well.

Start recording per Intent

Hi,

it is possible to send service intents. Details are here:

tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/intents.html

Basically, one can configure what is needed for intents. Target (e.g. broadcast or service), action (like android.intent.action.VIEW), extras, mime-type or data specification, and package/class.

Hope this helps

not work more on my galaxy tab 2 7.0

The new version not work on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 , the single mode to work is the Software MPEG4 but is very slow and i can't record games.

The version last version that worked is the 0.11.1 but this version not work on kitkat accusing I not have root, but is a cyanogenmod already rooted.

Actually, I decided to stay on MIUI v5 for a while to see how it works compared to my Samsung stock ROM...if you don't feel like flashing ROMs, I can test it for you [feel free to PM me]
[Android Apps and Games] dragonhart6505:
Well I may have to recall my previous statement about the SIII

After MUCH frustrated trial and error I have found the settings that work on CPU mode. I'm actually encoding a video that may be of some hilarious interest that I will link for all to watch when I get a chance to upload it.

Put it this way:

480x854 to 1920x1080 upscale >_<

This app is amazing, I tried it before and it was quite buggy, but after leaving you to work your magic for a while I must say you really have been busy.

I am running with:

Encoder: Android Built in H264

Resolution: 1152x720

Image Transformation: GPU+

Bitrate: 10mb/s

FPS: Up to 30fps

Source: Internal (Experimental) w/ SCR audio driver

To say I usually hit 40fps peak on an antutu benchmark, I would say that a 25-35fps benchmark WHILE recording with these settings is Fantastic!

Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I1890

Hi there,

First of all thank you for creating this wonderful app.

I have read the whole topic and I noticed with the Samsung Galaxy S3 the app can experience problems. I am on a Galaxy S3 Mini and I am experiencing unworkable problems too.

I have been experimenting with all the settings and have been able to make some conclusions.

First of all some information:

Phone Model: Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I1890

Android Version: 4.1.2

ROOTING:

I used this package: Rooted Android 4.1.2 XXAME1 for GT-I8190 (I8190XXAME1_I8190OXXAME2_rooted.zip | 656MB) – SourcePDA: I8190XXAME1PHONE: I8190XXAME1CSC: I8190OXXAME2

I used Odin and Windows XP to flash it.

Settings:

Encoder H264

Outcome: Not working (no matter the other settings). Seems to be recording but when I look back at the video it shows a screen with very strange colourful colours all over it (I cannot recognise anything. I can 'see' in the background when a screen is changed, but there is no possibility to see what it is). It can be very bright pink colours (it looks like a palette which has a maximum of 16 colours), or very bright green, sometimes very bright yellow and orange through it.

Encoder MPEG-4 SP

Outcome: Same as the above

Encoder Software MPEG-4 (slow)

Outcome: the only setting with which I can see my screen quite decently. However, what makes it unworkable is that no matter the other settings, I am getting random appearance of grey blocks on the screen (squares, sometimes a few separated of each other, other times multiple blocks together whilst others are separated). They appear for a fraction of a second but it is consistent throughout the recording.

Resolution needs to be lowest, because otherwise the lagging is too much. On the lowest resolution the lagging is 'bearable' however not professional enough yet. The bitrate doesn't change something significant (at least not that I can see, I also do not know what it should affect, so if somebody could clarify that would be helpful).

Image transformation (unavailable in software encoder). When I changed this setting to GPU with the Encoder on something else, it did not allow me to film because of some error.

Frame rate: does not really make a difference, the higher the frame rate the smoother it is though.

Audio: seems to be working fine

Inverted colour fix: not necessary.

[MENTION=510787]Developer[/MENTION]: would you be able to fix the grey blocks appearing on my screen? Is the information I provided useful for you? Would you also have some advise in some other settings (maybe within my phone) through which I could minimise the lagging? Or is my phone not powerful enough?

Thanks for the hard work making this app possible!
[Android Apps and Games] hajali:
Hi there,

Thanks for effort to provide such app

I have a note 2 and screen recording is essential to me.

I purchased screencast video recorder which worked fine with android 4.1.2 but after updating to 4.3 ... it doesn't work ... some1 suggested your app so checked the free version. it is promising but the lag is too much! Or if we needed more speed the resulation needed to suffer dramatically. so what's your advise to improve that on the note 2?? whats the ideal setting for my phone?? and yeah in the paid version is the red SCR watermark going to stay? or would it be optional??

thank you and all the best
[Android Apps and Games] dragonhart6505:
Have you tried CPU Mode H264 and select Verticle Frames then start recording before you open your desired app? Also try with a CM from, best results for me, though its Galaxy SIII not Mini
[Android Apps and Games] Filipek88:
You mean the Encoder H264? Yes, nothing works with that one, vertical frames doesn't make a difference either. What do you mean by CM?
[Android Apps and Games] iwobanas:
Unfortunately hardware video encoder on S3 Mini doesn't support recording from non-camera sources. It may get fixed in the drivers for newer Android versions. I spent a lot of time trying to find a workaround for this issue but there is none. So unless Samsung fixes the drivers the only choice is software encoder.

Could you send me a sample video demonstrating this issue to scr.screen.recorder@gmail.com ?

This is probably some compression artefact which should be possible to fix.

Changing "Frame rate" in SCR settings just sets the upper limit. So it's useful on the devices like Nexus 5 when you want to restrict recording frame rate to 30fps or so. On less powerful devices (like S3 Mini) it can be safely ignored.

I keep looking for optimizations which could increase performance of the recording but it's not an easy task especially given the number of different devices and ROMs.
[Android Apps and Games] Filipek88:
Thank you. I sent just sent a sample video.
[Android Apps and Games] dragonhart6505:
Cyanogenmod. By the sound of it it may still not work but I'm sure the graphic driver for CM is slightly different than the OG driver. Ive noticed with many different roms (on many different devices anyway) that they all handle differently in terms of compatibility and performance between stock modded roms and CM/AOSP so maybe you might have better luck with it. Idk what specific rom to suggest as I dont have the Mini, just the Galaxy SIII, but the suggestion has just been out of my own personal experience with similar devices. Its worth a shot, couldnt really hurt
[Android Apps and Games] Filipek88:
Thank you for your reply and your explanation. Unfortunately I am not skilled in using modified software on my phone and the only modification I have done is to root my device. Since I don't have much knowledge regarding these matters, I am hesitant to make any other customisations that could possibly brick my phone. However, if I will acquire more knowledge in these matters, I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind.
[Android Apps and Games] dragonhart6505:
if youve already got root, the only next steps to take is flashing a custom recovery then finding your rom. Samsung devices are pretty slick like that. no need for bootloader unlocks or nothing. and all of the threads related to these things have very clear instructions on what to do. but good luck anyway and your welcome

Excellent work! Still having trouble getting the video to look good, but for beta its no biggie. I'm on HTC rezound running 4.4.2, is there a better supported version of android I should try? My phone runs fine while recording just the video comes out grainy, I lowered resolution to 720 and frames to up to 20 with max bit rate and that works OK. I'm sure my device can do a little better when properly set up. Only the stock encoder works, tried everything to get the others to do so but nothing, will send bug reports.thanks for this app, I'll be able to continue doing YouTube now!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0

Hello,

I am testing out the free version of SCR on my Galaxy Tab 3.0 7.0. What I notice is that the FFMPEG sw encoding works I even get audio with the recording. I get a frame rate of about ~13 fps with the default 10MBs bit rate.

However, the H264 hw encoder is not working. No matter what settings I try even muting the audio, the encoding seems to fail. I captured some logs with log cat. (If you could tell me what to filter for, I could reduce the noise in the log cat output.)

There appears to be some kind of problem with the color format.

[Android Apps and Games] iwobanas:
Internal audio recording is available only for alpha testing. Check the first post in this thread for instructions on how to get Alpha updates.
[Android Apps and Games] iwobanas:
Currently not. On most ROMs it's not necessary although some video encoders make colours warmer and bleached.

You may try installing some system-wide color boosting app. I can't remember the name but remember there was such thing on my old Galaxy S I9000.

Technically I could add some "vivid colours" filter but it could slow the recording down and it'll be very hard to tune such filter.
[Android Apps and Games] iwobanas:
This issue is caused by a bug in Samsung GPU drivers included in 4.3 releases. I tried couple workarounds but so far I couldn't find a fix.

From what I read on the internet there are quite a few other issues with Samsung 4.3 updates so hopefully they'll release another update which fixes drivers issue as well. I'll keep looking for a fix to this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] titilleur:
Thank you for your answer! ;)

It's a shame this problem drivers on android 4.3, because I bought several Screenshot recorder, and it's yours that works fairly well, by setting a bit! But the videos are unusable, especially if you want to do a demo on the fluidity of a rom :( ! It is true that on android 4.1.2, I have had no desire to slow!

Again thank you for responding!
[Android Apps and Games] iwobanas:
Thanks for detailed analysis of the problem.

You can try selecting YUV-SP or YUV-P Image transformation in the work-in-progress version of the app. Apparently there is some issue with color converter on your device. The version above uses software color conversion which slows the recording and is not particularly portable. Different video encoders use different formats internally thus I'm not sure if this fix will be included in the next updates. I don't want to pollute settings with options which works on 1% devices and crash on 99% devices unless I can automatically disable unsupported options.

[MENTION=5410876]iwobanas[/MENTION] is there any chance we can get gingerbread support?
[Android Apps and Games] iwobanas:
Unfortunately I haven't found any fix for R231 on some Galaxy S4 so the only option remains Software MPE4 video encoder.

Possibly updating to the newer Android version could help but I haven't got any users feedback confirming this.
[Android Apps and Games] iwobanas:
Probably not. SCR uses some Android APIs added in ICS so it's not possible to simply port it to Gingerbread. It'd require massive amount of work to add Gingerbread support. This android version is decreasing in popularity so it prefer to spend my time fixing bugs and improving performance on Android 4.+ platforms.

I used the direct audio function on the new Nexus 7 and it works like a dream but when I tried it on Nvidia Shield or Ouya the drivers mute the devices audio completely and cause the shield to reboot. On the Ouya the controls stop working except the mouse. I'll try some other devices.

Edit: Just tried my Jxd S7800b which is a rockchip device and that one worked. It was laggy but it did work with direct audio.

Been using this great app to record ROM reviews. Works flawlessly on the LG UI ROMs, my newest device, LG G2 (LS980), until I installed an AOSP 4.4.2 ROM. when I record several min long videos the file will not show up in documents at all. Tried moving the file to the download folder, it showed but would not copy to desktop as i always do. The mp4 will play on the phone though. Tried recording a few seconds and no issues at all. I do have the Pro app. Tried different settings in SCR Pro to no avail. Is there maybe an issue with AOSP or 4.4.2 that makes larger files not work? Been very happy otherwise. This has been a huge plus for my video reviews!

Is this issue specific to large files e.g. above 4GB or do you always get it on 4.4.2?

Do I understand you correctly that you can play files on your device but can't copy it via USB in MTP mode?

It may be an issue with file permissions or some bug in MPT... I can't reproduce it on my devices so I'd have to rely on your feedback.

Only happened on AOSP 4.4.2 roms. I havent tried to see what size fike i can go up to before it fails to transfer. Works flawlessly on the LG UI 4.2.2 though. Can record and copy any size. And to answer the other question yes, i can view the video on my device while on AOSP but it will not copy to desktop

I'm on a Droid Maxx using KitKat.

My videos have been flashing green at the beginning and the video "twitches" throughout

The H264 and MPEG-4 SP encoders crash instantly, so I use Software MPEG-4 (slow)

I have tried a variety of frame rates and bit rates. Some have corrupt files, others do the "twitching"

I sent an email today, but I want to make sure this is going to get fixed soon. I use this application for my work.

**edit** I just tried using the bitrate, and the framerate suggested by titilleur. The "twitches" are now more clear flashes of the previous screen. I then added the lower resolution to the mix and found that the "twitches," though still clearer, occur faster.

Suggestions on settings to fix the problem?

Are you talking about latest audio driver or about general SCR installation issue?

If it's about audio driver, could you try installing it and just after you get installation failed message tap "Send bug report" from SCR Settings menu?

Please attach contents of /proc/1/mountinfo and /proc/self/mountinfo to the bugreport

You may also try using latest version of SuperSu if that's not an app you're using for root control.

Very nice app. Recorded fine with a software MPEG-4 but with H264 or MPEG-4 SP it didn't work correctly. With H264, I received error R139 every time when trying to start recording. With MPEG-4 SP I was able to start record once, but when saving video it just gave me error R303 and video couldn't be played. Second test with this started to give me same R139 error too.

Tested with different settings (resolution, audio off, GPU/CPU) but nothing helped. Just wanted to let developer know, for me it's not big issue since I don't record videos that much.

Rom is a ViperS 5.1.0 for HTC Sensation.
[Android Apps and Games] PickledJaW:
I like the app, I think it is great. But, I do have a problem and I'm assuming it is probably with Samsung and 4.3. No matter what settings I use, my phone just lags really bad when I use this.

I have the Note 2 (sch-i605) running 4.3, stock rooted. I have Xposed framework installed, just running a tweak on the battery and Wi-Fi icon, and I'm using Nova launcher. I clear any background apps to make sure something else isn't showing it down.

The only encoder that works is the Software MPEG4. The other ones just give me a static image. It doesn't seem to matter what screen resolution I use, unless I drop it to the minimum. Bitrate seems best at 15, and fps only seems to matter if I go above 30. But still with any combination I have tried, it just becomes too laggy to really use. I haven't gotten any error messages with anything.

Any idea of something I should try? Could Xposed, or Nova, or both, be causing an issue? Or am I just screwed between Samsung and 4.3? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
