How-tos · Screen

Take a screenshot

Save what the screen shows as a picture, look at it on the device, and get it onto your phone.

  1. On any screen, press Fn + p. A Toast says "Screenshot saved in /screenshots". The Toast itself is never in the picture; a dialog or the help panel that is open is.
  2. To look at it on the device: open Storage, go into screenshots and press Enter on the file. Enter again shows it at its own size.
  3. To get it out: in Storage press w and open the card in your phone's browser; the pictures are in screenshots.

Good to know

  • It needs an SD card.
  • The files are PNGs of 240 by 135 pixels, named by date and time.
  • It refuses on Settings → Debug Console, the page that shows the console's token: a picture of it would be a copy of the token.
  • From the Shell, screenshot 5 takes the picture five seconds later, for a screen you can't press keys on.
