A small tool to constantly capture the current screen of a 71xx, 72xx, 87xx, 88xx Blackberry and display or record it on the PC.
Requirements:
It relies on the original Javaloader.exe from RIM.
(JavaLoader.exe is available on the BlackBerry homepage in the developers section as part of the JDE components 4.x)
A BlackBerry OS version of v4.0.2 or higher is required.
The Blackberry Desktop Manager or Device Manager has to be installed on the PC.
The Blackberry needs to be connected via USB.
If you have content protection enabled, screenshots of a locked screen will not work.
The multimedia area (cam, videos) of devices since the PEARL cannot be captured.
Usage:
The [Play/Stop] button starts or stops the display.
Adjust the capture speed with the slider (slow ~2s, normal ~1s, fast ~0.5s)
The [1:1]; [1:2] and [1:3] buttons will scale the screen capture. (if the PC screen is big enough)
The window can be resized to any size, however the scale will always be a multiplier of 10 to avoid picture distortion.
A double-click on the screen capture will toggle the [Play/Stop] button.
When the screen capture is running, you can click the round [Record] button next to the [Play/Stop] button to record what you see to an AVI file. First you need to enter a name for your AVI file. Existing files with the same name will be overwritten!. Then you have to select a compression method. The available options depend on the installed codecs on your PC.
The [Pause] button will pause the screen captures. This is useful while recording if you do not want to show certain steps. Press [Pause] again to resume capturing/recording.
A left-double-click will toogle the [Pause] function as well.
While in pause mode:
-press the [S] key to do a single screenshot, but stay in pause mode
-a single left-click on the screen capture works like the [S] key
while recording and in pause mode:
-press the [S] key to do a single screenshot and add it to the recording
-press the [R] key to add the currently shown picture once more to the avi file
The checkbox enables or disables the live copy to clipboard feature.
The orange LED next to the first scale button flashes during each screen capture. Avoid clicking the trackwheel of your BlackBerry while the LED is on to get a smoother experience.
Press [!] to check for online updates so you never miss the latest version.
I guess you have figured out the [?] button already :-)

[Enter] toggles the [Play/Stop] button
[Space] toggles the [Pause] button
[S] takes one screenshot when in pause mode
[R] adds another frame to the avi when in pause mode
