  features in newer platforms

===============================================================================

Installation Notes:

===================

ScreenGrabber is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the

ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-

directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.

In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the

internal\sis directory.

When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are

needed:

  WriteDeviceData

  SwEvent

When builing ScreenGrabber against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your

SDK environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to

the instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.
