    35 Installation Notes:
       
    36 ===================
       
    37 ScreenGrabber is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
       
    38 ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-
       
    39 directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.
       
    40 In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
       
    41 internal\sis directory.
       
    42 
       
    43 When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
       
    44 needed:
       
    45   WriteDeviceData
       
    46   SwEvent
       
    47 
       
    48 When builing ScreenGrabber against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your
       
    49 SDK environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to
       
    50 the instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.

    67 Known Issues:
       
    68 =============
       
    69 
       
    70 Sluggish UI when capturing video
       
    71 --------------------------------
       
    72 - Video capturing requires huge amount of processing power and thus may cause
       
    73   the UI to become sluggish. If supported by the device, try to decrease the
       
    74   screen resolution.
