Using gestures for screenshots

Doitsu · 12-19-2014, 10:10 AM

Is there any way to take a screen capture on a jailbroken PW2 using gestures instead of tapping two opposite corners?

I like the swipe method used by KOReader. Would it be possible to run whatever tool they use via a shell script or create a custom shell script that will wait for a couple of seconds and then takes a screen capture. (This would be helpful for taking screen captures of a modal dialog box.)

You could probably write a tiny input handler in C & call fbgrab on certain gestures, since using KOReader's code outside of it might prove tricky.

Thanks for your reply. I was hoping that there's already an existing screen grabbing binary file that I could simply execute via a shell script.

Screen grabbing, yep (fbgrab, it's in USBNetwork, and I left an outdated standalone binary posted somewhere).

That 'just' leaves input handling
