Houston, we have screenshots!

November 16, 2011 by Erica | 3 Comments

After posting these initial success posts, I have put together a simple (no 22 steps) guide here.

And with *that*, we have screenshots. Once I finished doing my installs and updates, I ran ddms and had no trouble starting to capture all my screenshots.

So, here’s a quick summary people:

Install the android SDK tools, then the platform-tools
Edit your adb_usb.ini file to add the 0×1949 vendor ID at the end
Ensure that adb is running properly
Check that your device is online
Run ddms
Start taking your screenshots using the Device > Screen Capture option.

All credit here goes to the guys who developed these awesome tools in the first place. If I have screenshot further than other Kindle Fire owners, it’s because I have stood on the shoulders of Android hacking giants.
