[Motorola Droid 4] Ohmster:
[MENTION=4772154]lucize[/MENTION] no. The M12 Snapshot was not a very good build for Razr phones. Only the Nightlies were really good for spyder and umts_spyder. We have different phones so maybe screenrecord actually *does* work on your model phone. So you are telling me that you can use screenrecord on your Droid 4 when using M12 Snapshot?

EDIT

I did not see the attachment, duh! :p

Wow! Your test movie came out great from the Terminal! :good:

And you are usinig the M12 SNAPSHOT? ...sigh, I cannot use that build on my XT912. It runs horribly! You think it is the kernel that is causing mine not to work and yours to work quite well? (Mine works fine over USB with adb.) Can I see your "About Phone" screen with kernel and build version info? I will attach my own for you to see.

Stargo's latest UNOFFICIAL build, 04/12 runs so well I don't want to give it up. This build never has issues, so far, but for this screenrecord thing. I can multitask a bit with it: Bluetooth to Car Connect audio, streaming music, maps and navigation, make or take a call at same time, or make or take text at same time. For an old Razr phone, that is a LOT to expect, my friend. :)

M12 could never do all that. If I must pick between a good running rom or a novelty like screenrecord, I have to take the good rom, any day. Screenrecord could be useful, I wanted to use it to show a friend who is not too tech savvy how to take pictures with her smartphone. That is when I noticed it did not work.

Thanks for the demo and file, lucize. I don't know if it is the model number, kernel version, or rom build that is making the difference but maybe when we trade About screens, we can figure it out.

Yours came out so good that I will test in Terminal one more time, just to make sure I did not make any mistakes...

...WOW! It worked, ...sort of. The phone did not lockup and it appeared to make a nice screenrecord. Ran for I am not sure, several seconds. And it did create /sdcard/test.mp4 like I specified. What I did enter into the Terminal was this to get my fraction of a second video:

$ su

# screenrecord --bit-rate 4000000 --time-limit 20 /sdcard/test.mp4

I am not sure of all of your commands in the terminal, will ask you shortly. My movie plays for all of about 1 second and that is it. Since my phone did not lockup, I must have the syntax wrong because you obviously got it right and I am not sure I can interpret your full syntax from your movie. This should and will work, can you give me your full syntax as you put it into your Terminal, lucize? This is what I was able to capture of your Terminal code:

uO_a136@cdma_maserati:/ $ su
root@cdma_maserati : / #screen
screencap screenrecord screenshot
root@cdma_maserati : / # screenrecord --bit-rate 4000000 --time-limit 20 /sdc
sdcard-ext/ sdcard/
bit-rate 4000000 --time-limit 20 /sdcard/test .mp4

I could not duplicate this exactly because some of it makes no sense to me.

$ su |Got it, become root.

#screen screencap screenrecord screenshot | These are not recognized commands. What is all this supposed to do?

# screenrecord --bit-rate 4000000 --time-limit 20 /sdc sdcard-ext/ sdcard/ bit-rate 4000000 --time-limit 20 /sdcard/test .mp4 |What in the world is all this? Command and parameters, but why duplicates

It looks like you have two destinations: /sdc sdcard-ext/ sdcard/ & /sdcard/test .mp4. The first one, to me, makes no sense. We have what looks like

bit-rate 4000000 --time-limit 20

repeated twice, again not sure why or how this can work.

Terminal distorts long command lines by truncating them so it is impossible for me to read exactly what your Terminal commands were. Can you enter them into a Code Box for me to see what you type into terminal to get this to work, please? I am sure that I am not interpreting your Terminal input commands accurately. :confused:

I think it *does work* and that I am just not doing it right. Maybe if I can get your Terminal code, I could try it your way to confirm that it does work, lucize. Hey thank you very much for taking the time to address this with me. Looking forward to your reply. :good:
