Just Curious ^^

This app looks so great. Unfortunately I just own Tegra2 devices

You are talking about Tegra 3. I don't know how far you got yet. But let's assume you get your app working on Tegra3 one day... Does that also mean it will work on a Tegra2 device?

Tegra3 compatibility does not imply Tegra2 also.

Request!
Could you add an on/off function in the screencast app to instantly start recording with the touch or long press of a button?
Like long press for record and just touch for screen shot?
Thanks for the awesome app!

Looks like a great app. Is it on the Android Market? If so can you provide a link.

Yes it is:

Thanks, found it. I see that it has an exclusion for Nexus. Does it run on Nexus 4G with Gyanogen 7.1?

I am looking for an app to create demo videos for my app.

Yes Nexus 4G works fine.

Thanks. I will give it a try and if it will work for me will get the pro version.

Edit: the frequent nag screen was a turn off for me. Uninstalled.

How is that coming along? I'm currently waiting for Galaxy Nexus support and I'm just curious if you've figured out how long it will take.

Hi there,

I've tried the demo and it works great but before I buy the app I just have a few questions. I'm planning to do video game reviews and some games are quite heavy and make the recording a bit sluggish. When I play those games without the recorder they play fine. Is this something that is going to be fixed?

Also, the recorded video is showing the pixelated signs of compression. I think that's due to the framerate of the game even though the app's settings are set too maximum. Let know what you think.

Hi!
I'm also doing the same.
It all depends on your phone, rom, kernel.
You need power, or else you will get massive screen tears.
I'm using my Droid Razr fully overclocked going a little over 30 fps on the benchmark and i'm getting one or two screen tears every now and than.
But that only is in "heavy" games. Such as Minecraft, Zenonia, and other 3D oriented games.
2D games like cartoon wars and kairosoft games run perfectly fine and smooth. (For me)

And yeah, pixelated,lag,screen tears are all due to frame rate. I've tried screen cast on two older android phones and it shows that power and speed are a major key to have smooth playback.

Read a at androidpolice.com that mentioned:

There is even a section to live cast your video feed, but that is still "Under Construction".

I have been looking for an app that could do that for a while now. More specifically, an app that could do it without having to be connected to the computer via USB, and at more than 5fps.

Is/Was this a planned feature? If this is an existing feature request, I would love to add a vote to it, and also a related request. I'm sure you must be aware of . It would be absolutely wonderful if there was a matching Fedora on ARM app specifically for outputting the stream fullscreen.

Even though it wasn't quite the app I was hoping, it is still pretty amazing. Great job.

This feature was voted down by users and the screenshot mode was added instead.

Oh. How weird. The app requires root, but users are not running a ROM that already has a screenshot feature? I know you don't necessarily have to use a custom ROM if rooted, but it's kind of like having cereal without the milk.

I guess I'll just keep looking for something else then. Such a shame. This seemed like the closest project to enabling a killer feature.

**PapaHepcat** · 03-08-2012, 02:15 PM

Any updates on Tegra 3 functionality? I'm itching to try it on my Transformer Prime. I saw on somewhere else that you have enough beta testers, but I'm open to testing if you need additional.

**crashjohnson** · 03-15-2012, 05:47 PM

could you please add this cursor to the app? Its a yellow circle with 75% opacity, the same size as the circles shapes you already have. In doing screencasts I've found the other cursors get lost fairly easily on dark screens. Thought this might help!

This is one of the new features in the next release.

Please answer me..

Will Screencast Video recorder EVER work on Tegra 2 devices and if yes, when?

**mediasol** · 03-25-2012, 09:57 PM

Tegra 3 and OMAP4 have a higher priority than Tegra 2. I can answer this question once support for these two platforms is ready.

**MadManolo** · 04-01-2012, 06:14 PM

One question: will Screencast ever work on Tegra 2? Answer with YES or NO (I don't want details) if YES, how long till then? Answer with *approximate time* or I Don't Know or Can't Tell or Not too Long or Long Time
