<p>Has any non-root Android screenshot application been submitted to Android Developer Challenge 2? If so, what is its name?</p> <p>I seem to have read about such a tool but I am no longer able to track the reference, and it didn't mention the name anyway. I do know that root privileges are required for this. But that application supposedly does not require a rooted device because it is able to get enough root privileges through some sort of Bluetooth loophole. If so, it is likely to depend on specific operating system versions.</p>

<p>Hi Paulo, I must admit I haven't heard of any non-root screenshot apps (even in ADC2), from what I understand from the Android Developers group etc... it's something that can't be done because of the way that Android was built, it needs the root permissions.</p> <p>Although I'm sure if someone else has heard of it they'll shout up!</p>

<p>There is one, and it made it to Round 2. It's called Drocap. Very little info about it online. The speculation, though, is that while it does not require a rooted phone, it does take advantage of an exploit to gain root access. <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse%5Fthread/thread/831fbbb3fefdcdee?pli=1" rel="nofollow">Here's some discussion of it</a>.</p>
