After writing about my decision of not to develop Screenshot for Symbian OS further, I have received some comments from fellow bloggers or developers. Unfortunately, there is still no help from Symbian.
Recently, someone from Epocware sent an email to me. He said that he can help me signing my application. Wow, that’s good news. So, I sent him my application. Surprisingly, one day later, she sent my application back. It is a signed application! Here is the certificate information that is used by Epocware to sign my application.
Primary:
Issued by Symbian.
Issued to f3c961139a1c755c92afde01f4ef8e9e.
Valid from 10/08/2007 to 09/08/2017.
Issued by VeriSign Testing-Based ACS Root for Symbian OS.
Issued to Symbian Limited.
Valid from 13/10/2003 to 27/08/2023.
Thanks a lot to Epocware. You have saved my life.

Some of you may have seen this problem when trying to uninstall Screenshot for Symbian OS (S60 3rd). You cannot uninstall the application at all. The installer always says “Unable to delete file”.
What is going on here? It seems there is a bug on some of S60 3rd devices. For some unknown reasons, the installer cannot remove backup information file. It happens when Screenshot for Symbian OS (S60 3rd) is installed on the memory card. If it is installed on the phone memory, it won’t happen.
How to solve the problem?
- Connect your device to the PC in “Mass storage” mode.
- Browse to the memory card to \private\20000555 folder.
- Delete a file called backup_registration.xml.
- Now you should be able to uninstall Screenshot for Symbian OS (S60 3rd).
I am working to solve this bug on the latest version, i.e. 2.80. Please stay tune.

The beta version of Screenshot for Symbian OS (S60 3rd) is now available on SourceForge.net. Please feel free to download and test it.
Note that this new version is available for S60 3rd Edition only. Furthermore, the binary is unsigned. You need to sign it yourself using developer’s certificate. You cannot use self-signed certificate as this application requires accessing sensitive API. If you don’t know how to sign using developer’s certificate, please see my blog posting, Signing S60 3rd Applications with Your Certificate. Sorry for the inconvenience. I cannot do anything better because of the limitation of Symbian Signed.
What’s new in this version? New shortcuts!!! Yes, finally I have added two new shortcuts in this version:
- Camera key
- C (Backspace) key
You can use your Camera key to capture screenshot. I haven’t tested this feature on all phones that have Camera key. However, I have tested it on Nokia N73 and it works fine.
Why do I introduce new shortcuts? The answer is simple. Nokia has removed Edit key, which is used on Screenshot for Symbian OS to capture screenshot. Since some newer phones do not have Edit key any more, we definitely need another key.
