RipDev discovers how to activate iPhone Screen Shots

Very useful article,Erica,thanks for your sharing!
I just actived my iphone according to your guide. And The Apple iPhone features a beautiful 3.5-inch widescreen display. That's the most important reason I love it! Apple expects iPhone owners will use their new device to watch movies, browse the web and check email. To access the features of the iPhone, you need to use the revolutionary muli-touch interface. Being a phone and using a touch interface, the iPhone will be susceptible to scratches. Having a scratch on your screen can have a negative impact next time you sit down to watch your favorite movie or television program. To avoid this, the best iPhone accessory investment you can make will be an iPhone screen protector
The iPhone uses multi-touch technology which requires you use the touch screen to navigate the phone. This will undoubtedly result in "smudges". While cases can protect your iPhone from drops, an iPhone screen protector will protect the screen from accidental scratches from a fingernail. It is a further safeguard against mishaps and allow you to enjoy Zoolander in all it's glory.

On my iPhone it didn't work: the key combination makes the click sound but the screen goes briefly dark and then puts me back in the "slide to unlock" screen.

Any ideas?

I know things like Caption Crunch edit the backup plists and restoring to change the status and such, is there a way to do something like that with this?

Is there any way to go about this on the ipod touch?

via Term-vt100.app:

install plutil ('#' is the prompt, don't type it):
# mkdir /usr/local/bin
# cd /usr/local/bin
# curl -O http://ericasadun.com/ftp/EricaUtilities/individual/plutil
# chmod +x plutil

add plutil to path:
# echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/bin/plutil:$PATH' >> ~/.zsh_profile
make sure
# echo $PATH
spits out
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/private/var/root/bin
then
# restart

enable screenshots:
# cd /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/
# plutil -s SBMobileScreenshotr -v YES com.apple.springboard.plist

I love your articles Erica. I just wish they could be slightly more comprehensive. Anytime you have a plist hack, you ought to just paste in the full 9 on how to do it. Thanks for your efforts, regardless. Keep up the good work, we're all counting on you.

Yeah, not so simple. In theory it's good, but doesn't output screen actions.

Cool.
But! How can you get your actions to be recorded? You know, like a scan converter, like Steve Jobs does on screen during the conferences? Hmmm??

Enabled hidden files and folders but can ney find /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ folder from the Finder.

Meh, if only there was such a mute button on my iPod Touch. :-(

Now if they can find the setting for enabling video mirroring of the screen to the docking port ... :)
