The creator suggests watching their previous two videos, which offer methods using root access and without root access, before trying the method explained in this video.

What are the two applications required for this method?

The two applications needed are 'LS Patch' and 'Xposed Disable Flag Secure,' both available on GitHub.

What is the purpose of the 'LS Patch' application?

'LS Patch' is used to modify apps so that users can bypass restrictions and take screenshots or screen recordings in apps where it is normally not allowed.

What additional tool is needed for LS Patch to work?

You need to set up and give access to 'Shizuku,' which allows LS Patch to function correctly.

How do you select the app you want to patch for screenshotting or screen recording?

You can either select the app from your installed apps if it's downloaded from the Play Store, or select it from storage if it was downloaded from another source.

What is the process to patch an app using LS Patch?

First, select the app you want to patch, then select the 'Disable Flag Secure' module, embed the module, and override the version code before starting the patch.

What happens if you try to take a screenshot in an unpatched restricted app?

The screen will appear black, and you will be unable to take a screenshot, as demonstrated with the Firefox and Hotstar apps before they were patched.

🔧 Setting Up Suzuku for LS Patch

Sai explains the next step, which involves granting Suzuku access to LS Patch. He walks through the process of setting up Suzuku, ensuring it is running properly. After successfully running Suzuku, he demonstrates how to authorize the application, enable the necessary toggles, and configure LS Patch for the following steps.

📂 Creating a Directory for Patch Modules

Sai continues by explaining how to create a directory for the patches. He shows how to select a folder where the apps to be patched will be placed. This folder will store the modules used for taking screenshots and screen recordings.

🔍 Choosing Apps to Patch for Screenshots

Sai provides instructions for selecting apps for patching. He explains that users should either download the app from the Play Store or from Chrome, depending on where they originally got the app. The example uses Firefox, showing that screenshots in incognito mode are currently blocked, but patching with Xposed Disable Flag Secure will allow screenshot functionality.

🛠️ Patching Firefox for Screenshot Functionality

Sai demonstrates patching Firefox with the Xposed Disable Flag Secure module. After successfully applying the patch, he verifies that the screenshot functionality works in Firefox's incognito mode. This process involves embedding the module, selecting the application, and testing whether the patch works by taking a screenshot.

🔄 Repeating the Process for Other Apps

Sai explains how to repeat the process for other apps, like Hotstar. Although Hotstar initially crashes after patching, Sai demonstrates persistence by reopening the app and successfully taking a screenshot and screen recording after a few tries. He highlights that some apps may require multiple attempts for the method to work.

❗ Caveats and Conclusion

Sai wraps up by discussing potential issues with this method. He emphasizes that it may not work for every app, especially when using the non-rooted method. If the non-rooted method fails, he suggests trying the root-based method, which has been more reliable. Sai signs off by encouraging viewers to like, share, and stay tuned for more videos.

A screenshot is a digital image capturing the contents of a display screen at a certain point in time. In the context of the video, the term is used to describe the process of capturing images from restricted apps that typically do not allow screenshots to be taken. The video aims to provide a method to bypass these restrictions, which is central to the tutorial's theme.

💡Screen recording

Screen recording refers to the process of recording the content displayed on a screen, which can include video playback, application usage, and other visual output. The video script discusses how to capture screen recordings from apps that may have restrictions against such activities, showcasing a method to overcome these limitations.

💡Root access

Highlights

Introduction to the method for taking screenshots and screen recordings on restricted apps without root access.

Two previous videos have been made on the same topic, one with root access and another without root access.

In this method, root access is not required, but it may work only on certain apps.

The pre-requisites for this method include downloading two applications: LS Patch and Xposed Disable Flag Secure.

Users are instructed to visit GitHub to download the LS Patch framework and the Xposed Disable Flag Secure APK.

After downloading and installing the apps, the user must set up and give access to 'Sijuku' for LS Patch to run.

The first step after setting up Sijuku is to authorize the app and ensure Sijuku services are available.

Users should create a directory to store the patched apps, and then proceed by selecting the apps they want to patch.

The method works by patching the targeted apps (such as Firefox or Hotstar) to allow screenshots and screen recordings.

The first example is shown with Firefox, demonstrating that taking screenshots in Incognito mode initially results in a black screen.

After patching Firefox using the disable secure flag, the user is successfully able to take screenshots in Incognito mode.

The same process is attempted with the Hotstar app, which initially crashes but works after a few retries.

The patched Hotstar app successfully allows the user to take screenshots and record the screen without the black screen issue.

The creator emphasizes that while this method works in many cases, it may not work perfectly for all apps.

For apps where this method does not work, the creator suggests trying the root access method, which is more reliable.
