The screenshot app should still work if I have cm 4.1.11.1 right?
Or is it only for rooted jf users

If you are running 4.1.11.1 you are rooted and yes screen shot works with 4.1.11.1.

Did my funny reply to spam comments get deleted?
That'a a damn shame.

*sigh* Despite the amazing walk-through on getting the SDK up and running no amount of work on my part has gotten the DDB to recognize that I have the G1 plugged in.

I don't have the "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface" in device manager and despite uninstalling the driver my G1 was using (which was running under USB controllers) and reinstalling with the downloaded drivers nothing changed.

Also, when opening DDBS, I get the command window which will load the program up but I don't get any text-output in the command window (like what's showing in the screenshot schlongwoodian put up.) I don't know if that means anything since the program itself loads but it doesn't do anything else and all the options (like using the attached device) are greyed out.

I installed the SDK, Eclipse, and JDK (all the recent versions just downloaded today for this project) so I don't think I missed anything there. I figured out how to configure Eclipse to be using the SDK, though I don't know if there's something further I'm supposed to be doing with it. I've tried running DDBS with Eclipse also running or not and the result has been the same as mentioned above.

It would seem to be something simple yet beyond my scope of self-troubleshooting at this point. The drag is all I want is to be able to take a damned screencap of my G1's desktop. I'm not trying to write an application or anything that would really need all this additional software on my PC.

If there's anything anyone can think of that I missed, bypassed, or should poke at, let me know.

It wont open ANYTHING!!!!!!

when i click on the DDMS it opens the cmd window for half a second and closes it.

I had trouble running this on my Mac with OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 where DDMS would complain about not being able to run in a 64-bit Java even though I had 32-bit Java installed and set as the priority.

After a lot of trial and error I re-visited the Android SDK download site and pulled down the latest "android-sdk-r04-mac_86.zip" which solved the problem immediately.

So if there are any other Mac users having trouble running DDMS I'd strongly suggest getting the latest release of the SDK.

NB: The attached screenshot is from my HTC Magic (UK Vodafone) running stock Android 1.6 Donut.
