Re: Taking Screenshots for Non-Rooted Users is a Nightmare! Any workarounds?

I rooted pre OTA 2.2 and loved it. But since 2.2, I haven't really had the need to because I found myself doing nothing different with an un-rooted EVO than with root. Yeah, of coarse, it has it's advantages and I will root again but for now, I'm good.

OP, honestly, the only way for you to do what you want is to root. I'm sure after a while though someone will have an app for that!

What gets me though is that Android is touted as being open source. Open source means it's available to be changed, manipulated, taken apart, etc. without recoarse by it's original developer. But it seems phone makers add their own proprietary software such as "sense" then lock the phone down requiring root to access it's functionality. I understand that HTC and such doesn't want rogue hacker a-holes developing software at will killing the experience, but honestly if they really want to, it's going to happen anyways. Just my two and a half cents.
