been waiting for months for full tegra 3 support and i will continue to wait but just answer and tell us whether HTC One X / Nexus 7 will be supported?

Or even the GNex... We never get a response about it.

I have mentioned the difficulties with the GNex a few times in the past. The OMAP4 has built in hardware DRM which makes the framebuffer inaccessible from software running in user space. The challenge to fix Screencast for the GNex means breaking the hardware protection on the framebuffer (read: very difficult). We even hired OMAP consultants and they all threw their hands up in the air. Without HEAVY kernel modifications, Screencasting on the GNex is impossible.

Actually that's the first I recall you elaborating at all on the GNex. Unless I missed it, the requests in this thread wanting to know if it would ever happen went unanswered. Now I know. Bummer to hear it.

Having some issues on the Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. Its been rooted and I have tested with other aps, and Super user states the ScreenCast demo has been granted permissions. It seems to record a lank (black) screen, as in it records nothing for 20 seconds. Any ideas?

Also, on the Nexus it doesn't seem to want to delete the blank files from within the app, the only way for me to delete them is to go to the gallery and delete them from there.

[EDIT]
Just read this:

Well what a bummer, the only reason I rooted my Nexus was for this app. To find out it will prolly never work on the Nexus kinda blows.

Yea, that's why I mentioned in my post that it worked great on my Kindle Fire (1st gen) when it was running CM7 then was useless after I upgraded beyond that to ICS then just this week to Jellybean. So, in my situation, is it now a kernel issue?

Also, thanks for replying, it went a long way towards reducing my ill will after reading this thread and thinking the app was abandoned.

Correct.

Hi, I have a rooted HTZ Rezound (with standard Verizon ROM) and this program makes great screen videos. However, with the demo I seem to be limited to 15 seconds of video which is not enough. The red light indicator just goes out and the video is saved.

Is this a limitation of the demo? If so I'll happily buy the program. Or am I encountering a bug or some inherent limitation of my phone?

Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Correct. The paid version removes the 15 seconds limitation.

Hello everyone. I have a problem with the application Screencast 3.2, and earlier versions, because when you record a video while filming a story does not record sound right to me because when I let the video that made me just 5-10 seconds to hear the sound and then the sound disappears and only you can view video. Do you know how can I solve this problem? thank you.I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, and I tried to install the program on Android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 and JB and I had the same problem everywhere. What is the latest version of this program? I have Screencast Video Recorder v3.2 FULL

**rorolepro** · 10-10-2012, 06:04 AM

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 and the video recording doesn't work

Could you check my screencast log file :

And give me some help ! I really need this app !

Many thanks !

Loved this app on my Galaxy Note but does not work on the Note II - probably due to Exynos processor - real shame as it was great on the original.

**krzychos7** · 10-11-2012, 01:56 PM

Maybe you can add option for streaming video? For a selection of record mp4 to SD and stream mp4 :-)

**mediasol** · 10-12-2012, 10:10 AM

This feature was replaced by screenshots back in beta days, may be worth visitng again once new devices support is in place.

**aikigreg** · 10-12-2012, 06:36 PM

Will there be a version for unrooted tablets? I do not want to root my tab but really want this app

**Ricky Babalu** · 10-16-2012, 02:50 AM

Wish I would have seen this thread before purchasing this app. I am on Galaxy S3 and it does not work properly. After reading this thread it seems the likelihood of having this app working on my S3 are slim. Complete waste of money, I can honestly say this is the first app that I have regretted purchasing.

**jeremypogue** · 10-19-2012, 07:21 AM

I have a Xoom tablet and running Screencast paid version 3.2a and all I get is "Waiting for Service" when the app launches. Please help.

Jeremy

Dusha99 did you get a reply to your question? I am having the same issue.

**observerca** · 11-01-2012, 08:16 AM

Thanks, I did that an all that came back was the developer asking for my "Purchase ID". Have no clue what that is but send the order information
per google.

Hopefully will get my money back in the 24hr time frame. This app still needs alot more work.

**LostSoulArtheus** · 11-02-2012, 01:02 PM

Okay, when I open screencast on my impulse 4g, it cannot obtain the license. It says a fatal error occurred. Help please? oh the demo works fine. Just not the full version :/

Yes, purchase ID = order information.

Uninstall and re-download from the market. Restoring or side loading a legit copy will fail security checks.
