Do I have to root my MT4G to take screen shots?

[zurc]

Just like the title says... Do I really have to root to take screen shots? Just got this phone yesterday and I really don't want to have to root it just to take screen shots, with everything else they implemented into this phone, I really hope this is not the case.

Thank you in advanced, any and all suggestions / comments are greatly appreciated.

No you don't. You can take screenshots with the android SDK but that process is a lot harder and takes longer. Rooting allows you to take screenshots in an instant.

You technically do not have to be rooted - however the process to do so without being rooted is much more painstaking.

Thanks for the link to the article... I've had the same question for some time, but just have not found the time to post the question.

Thank you for the information everyone. I am going to wait for Ginger bread before I decide to Root my phone, hopefully they will make this process a little easier like on the iphone without having to root.

Thanks again, much appreciated!

Most of the launchers, openhome ,ADW and launcher pro plus have this feature included.

I did this on a temp root. Thats still easier than doing the SDK thing.
