Your efforts have helped improving ShortcutMe and since ShortcutMe has free software upgrade policy, your efforts will benefit existing ShortcutMe users.
Even that giving out ShortcutMe's license (valued $4.99) doesn't match even 10 minutes of your time beta testing/posting feedbacks, it is the minimum thing I can do to thank you.
Could beta testers (who have posted in beta testing thread) please do the followings (to get a free ShortcutMe license):
1- Post a comment here in this thread.
2- Send email (using the same email account you used when you offered to become beta tester) to support at fonware dot ca with
Subject:
ShortcutMe license for beta tester
Body:
- Your crackberry username/nickname
- Your BlackBerry PIN
- Your BlackBerry model
(Those beta testers who already had ShortcutMe license, may also get one free license for their friend/partner/family member.)
Thanks again to all beta testers.

As I said in the Pearl forum, this soo is awesome. I have used it with Bolt Browser, Google Maps, Trapster, and many other apps. Nice workaround for those of us that also use Vlingo and still want to be able to launch apps with our shortcut buttons. I love being able to launch Trapster and Google Maps traffic with just a touch of the button while i'm driving.
Awesome app, great job!
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-24-09 09:21 PMLike 0 - I got 4 emails from users asking me to add screen capture feature to ShortcutMe. So I added it.
With ShortcutMe 3.2.1.1 you can capture screenshots, then email or MMS it, or just keep it on the uSD card.
Capturing screenshot can be done anytime by for example double clicking a convenience key or clicking ConvKey + S + S.
You can also set the quality of the produced screenshot image (0-100, 100 being the best quality). This will be useful to create smaller files that can easier be sent by email or MMS.
I am alpha testing 3.2.1.1. Will soon make it available for download on OTA beta testing link and then on Mobihand.06-25-09 09:43 PMLike 0 - 3.2.1.1 is now on the beta test OTA link.
Changes comparing to V3.2.1.0:
- Capture screenshots from other programs or Blackberry screens.
It allows you to email the screenshot, MMS it, send it to MySpace, FaceBook, Messanger contact.
It allows you to set the quality of the screenshot image so that you can control the created file size.
How to take screenshot: Whenever you want to take a screenshot, for example double click the convenience key to take a screenshot (or if you want you can set ShortcutMe to take screenshot when you click Conv.Key + one or more chars).
How to create a shortcut:
AppName = Screenshot
Parameter = X
where X is the quality of the captured image.
X is a value between 10 and 100.
100: Best picture quality, big file.
10: Low picture quality, small file.
Shortcuts are stored in the SDCard/ directory (image_y.jpg, y=1,2,3,4,5)
Please download/test and report.Last edited by Vijik; 06-25-09 at 11:39 PM.
