Screencast looking for help, $1000 reward for successful Completion

0

Some of you may be familiar with and app by Media Solutions called Screencast. I know our team uses the software often. Essentially if you have a rooted device, you can pick the app up and record what you’re doing. You can turn on the mic and talk throughout the video and even enable a pointer to make seeing what you are clicking on visible in your video as well. To kick it up a notch, the app also has screen shot functionality that can be accessed in a variety of ways. It is a rather remarkable app that can make showing off your app clean and clear without sacrificing resolution or detail. Be sure to check out ScreenCast on the Android market if you haven’t already.

In an effort to help make the app the best one around, Media Solutions is looking for some developers to get involved. The goal is to outsource some of the work so they can focus on other areas of the application that they feel need some attention. Also, by doing it this way they can give back to the Android community with a cash prize of $1000. So your time and effort will not go unappreciated. The prize money will be paid out immediately once all the requirements are met. There will be no drawing, raffle or lottery involved. Essentially the first person or persons to make it happen, gets the money. Check out the requirements below -

Job Description

Objective:
—————
I need a sample code which can capture the screen on Android devices (tablets and phones).

Requirements:
———————-
1. The code has to be written in C.
2. It needs to capture the screen without needing framebuffer devices (/dev/graphics).
3. Needs to work on Gingerbread up to the latest Ice cream sandwich, including Tegra 2 tablets.
4. It cannot cause the display to freeze when the pixels are pulled.
5. It cannot use Surfaceflinger’s screenshot client (this causes the display to freeze momentarily while the screen is captured).
6. The solution must be able to render the display in no more than 25ms when device is idle (no games running)
7. Must be able to dump the screen at least 30 timers per second (30fps)

You can view the job and submit your completed work via oDesk.

If you have the skills, or just want to give it a try, you better get to work immediately. Everyone could use an extra $1000 right??

Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.
