Usage

Screenshots for glyphs works as a simple floating application that displays the last few screenshots taken. It can therefore be useful for glyph hacking in games, such as Ingress (in Portal view long-touch the Hack button).

On stock phones press the usual screenshot trigger combination (simultaneously press for a second or two one of: power + volume down, or power + home). Unfortunately this method can be too slow, use screenshots only for one or two glyphs and your brain for the rest.
On rooted phones screenshots can be taken programmatically much faster just by touching the floating icon. Make sure you have working binaries /system/xbin/su and /system/bin/screencap.
Long-touch the floating icon to remove the screenshots and shrink the window.

Notice

Make sure you have the game Ingress installed. This recorder app automatically launches Ingress and shows a floating icon somewhere in the top-right corner. If you close Ingress or switch to another application, the icon disappears as if it were integrated into the game.

Warning! Screenshots are automatically deleted after being taken as long as the application is running.
