Front camera with skype? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I don't know if it is the right place to put an idea or suggestion...sorry if it not
the tytn1 have a camera in the front, but it can be used only by VOIP calling, so it is possible to make a program or some change in hte configuration or in WM that allow us to use this camera in another applications (for example messenger or skype). I don't know if it is possible or not but i don't know too much of programs.
thank you!
Walter
(PD: sorry but my english is not good)

hm nice idea.
I´m also interested in ! Is it possible to make normal photos with the front camera?

On skype website (more precisely on the helping forum) they explained that it was probably impossible to use the video calling on pda phone, because of some problems of data compression (the video is compressed before it is send, and pda processors aren't fast enough to do it), and they wouldn't change everything in their software, to make it compatible between PC and pda worlds.
For now at least...
Sorry about that, it would be a nice feature with our Hermes.

Internet live camera

Hello
Is there any soft and possiblity to use built-in camera from bluangel to stream video directly in realtime to PC via USB, BT or Wi-fi.
regards
There is a program for nokia phones to do this i think its called "s60".
I did ask on here a year ago if there was any software to do the same, but i had no replies

Hi saganov,
maybe this might be interesting for you. I once had another program, but I couldn't find it yet... :?
HTH,
BGK
Nice Prog! What is does is it takes pictures form the camera and uploads them to an ftp server. I've allways wanted to be able to do this The HTML for the site doen't work very well, but i've used some java aplet for refresh and made it work. Vewy kewl! gracias

hmmm, I'd assume you are talking about the second software option from the top and not "s60", can you share that java applet that worked for you in smoothing comms ?!

GPS tracing on google earth?

I should be getting my new artemis tomorrow. Im off on holiday soon and im hoping that when you take a picture there is an option to log the gps coordinates so you can tell where I was taken. Maybe you can even import them into google earth????
If this isn’t possible maybe there is some 3rd party software. Or any other good gps tracing applications??
Soz if this has already been covered, I have had a look at previous post!!!
There are lots of apps which get GPS coordinates. These are mostly for some Bluetooth GPS devices as diagnostics software. The German .NET Magazine dotnet pro had an article about getting GPS coordinates. If you are familiar with .NET programming you could write an additional GoogleEarth export.
Alternatively you could look after some ready made tools.
Im really surprised that nobody else wants to do this on a pda especially as the Artemis has a built in gps receiver!!!
!
I have since learned that this is called geotagging and some digital cameras with now embed the gps coordinated onto the picture. Web sites like http://www.panoramio.com/ which make a kml file to view your pics in google earth.
At the moment tho i have to find these coordinates by using picasa 2
and using their geotag option but you still have to find the location manually on google earth
download picasa here: http://picasa-server.com/?s=yp_uk&OVRAW=picasa 2&OVKEY=picasa 2&OVMTC=standard
It would be so much easier to be able to just take a pic on the Artemis and have the coordinates automacally embedded on to the file!
Any new ideas????
I heard that the Dopod ROM has this feature (geo coding). So solution for other ROMs yet.
im quite happy with my rom at the mo, dont wanna mess about with it. But if thats the only way i might have to look into it
Here is the solution to activate the gps photo on the Artemis...
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\
create a new folder called P9 and then
"ProfileName"="GPS Photo"
"MainCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040
"Enable"=dword:00000001
"2ndCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:00000054
"MainCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:000002D4
"2ndCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040
"EnableRecLimit"=dword:00000000
"RecLimitSize"=dword:0000005F
"RecLimitedType"=dword:00000000
"EncodeFormat"=dword:00000003
"CaptureFormat"=dword:00000002
"Property"=dword:018013BD
"CaptureType"=dword:00000008
"ProfileName_0409"="GPS Photo"
or you can import with Resco the attached registry file.
Some friend tell me that they have on the registry the folder P9.
In this case you must only change the registry value Enable from 0 to 1
That is awesome, great that this can be done via registry. Wonder why htc disabled it per default.

Yes. This is correct when the last ROM you updated from was the Dopod one.
While we are at this let me share my findings:
1. You can improve the camera pictures (at least if you uped. from dopod rom as I did) by going to the ext.rom with total commander and running the cab CP_061025_P800W_CamAgentCab.enus. The pic quality of the plain PDAMobiz rom is worse than the htc or real Dopod one, with a yellow hue
2. The radio rom is not updated, so it inherits that of last ROM before you went to the PDAMobiz one
Cheers
anyone done this yet? im just about 2 try!
It works!!!!! if you upload your pics to http://www.panoramio.com they will then create a kml file to view in google earth!
Cheers guys!!!
Yes, it works!
If you start the camera application,m you have to choose a different Profile in the left top of the screen.
Choose the Camera-sign with the cross, so the phone tries to get a GPS-Fix.
If the fix is established, you can make a photo.
But is the any other possibility to use the new information in Google Earth as panoramio?

I've tried this and suceed to take photos. But how and where can I see them geo-referenced??
if you download googles free picture viewer/editor in properties you will find the coordinates. make sure that you have selected the gps mode on the camera it will flash up searching for gps signal.
GPS-mode in camera works great, thank you very much. However I've lost vibration function for incoming calls, probably coincidentally, but I'm not sure.

For the vibration function try to see in HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script
you must have in the script a v with a number i.e v2 means vibrate for two second, or v0 vibrate always...

Ideas for B&B version 4.2

I know that 4.1 is only just out & I think it's brilliant. I'm spending every evening checking new posts and playing with my phone like never before. So, before the 4.1 thread becomes the next thread with 1200 posts, I thought I'd start a new thread for ideas for 4.2
Tom - before I found the magic that is B&B I was using Wisbar Advance desktop and an application called innesoft address book which had a great feature that when someone called you, their photo was displayed full screen with their name (see thumbnails) rather than just the standard windows window.
Any chance you could devlelop something similar for 4.2 !!!
Cheers

Here is something that may hold you over, I am still trying to figure out how to use the caller id without the actual slide to unlock, bit here is something to tide you over, jsut a thought
Have a pretty much full screen keyboard for texting in landscape mode? The text appears at the top?
Is there a way we can assign a button to lock the phone rather than go thruogh the menu?
Cheers
Anybody knows if it is legal to include trial versions of apps in cooked rom?
Was thinking rom with included sktools, english dictionary of some kind, IM+, resco explorer, spb gprs monitor included on rom would save time and space. Apps included would be trial versions and ppl haveing bought them could just enter activation keys/serials, others could buy app if thy liked it.

This would be a waste of time and energy for most, these Roms are made to be efficient, the least amount of space used so that you as an individual can place your desired programs, once a rom is built there is no removing/uninstalling of any apps, hence the reason to not put trial versions into a rom, I use several of the above mentioned, but to "Bloat" a rom with them would be ineffecient. Best thing to do is install on your sd card, keep all your initial install cabs in one folder and use that as your rebuild folder. Cheers.

Is it not worth remembering that everyone has a different list of killer apps they MUST have on their device?
If Tom & Meschle etc added every app - the rom would only just fit on a 40gb hard disk!!!
To my mind - the idea is that the cooked roms are a basis onto which you install your own apps to make your own device work?
Constanlty asking for new apps to be added to a rom just complicates the issue. Or am I wrong?
something so i can remotly use my desktop via PPC
then im complete
automated network setup like in the O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE rom
Extended timers & alarms application
I'd like to avoid installing SpbTime on each version
Great job!
OK, i agree, rom should be as slim as possible, but why the hell there is cube, psshutXP, PHM regedit/traylaunch, and office mobile on it then?
Could make an ultra lite wersion. (=
P.S. Dont get me wrong, i think 4.1 is great and it is a lot faster than O2. Just throwing around ideas about how to make it better.
with my original post, I was not really asking for a copy of the app, just would like a much bigger photo to pop up with caller id and liked the look of the inesoft one.
Tom - what do you think?
Just trying to make the ROM easier to use, more efficient.
B&B 4.1 is far better than original ROM from this point of view
TouchFlo for example helps to have everything we need with a single finger move..
Phone app is a lot more usable also.
Perhaps also the possibility to customize HTC Home by default, with more options (number of apps in the launcher, ..)
i don't think that is constructive to add as much apps, i can imagine, when it's released, everbody is shouting "this is not good" and "why did you use this app and not the other one"...and so one. I like it clear, not too much apps...but that's my opinion.
If i want it with all apps included then i start (to learn ) cooking my own ROM... IMHO i am very satisfied with the work that Tom is doing for us all. And 4.1 is just released. Enjoy it and let Tom make a break. He is hard working all the time!
Plugins for new version
Alarms extension (SpbTime style)
USB PenDrive emulator (WMstorage style)
Phone call recording (Audio Recorder style)
Thanks for B&B! Great job!
i have a great idea
Why dont we support Tom and all off his hard work and all the other wizards here, and stop complaining or asking for more.
like a bunch of kids in a sweet shop.
Improving File access
What I would like to see is the File Dialog Changer, I don't know who has heard of it but it is very good! Usually when you want to save files or open them in any application you get access to you My Documents folder. Only some smart apps like TCPMP and others have the option to access your entire pda.
File Dialog Changer changes the way you access your files in opening and saving them for every application, it's just 50 KB and you can activate / deactivate it in System Settings.

And about your wish I can only say that there is already Remote Desktop for WM6, I think I've downloaded it in the Wizard forum. Or use PocketVNC, that is the pda version for VNC. I am successfully using that with TightVNC on my computer. I just have to be in range of my WLAN and can turn on my computer by sending a wake on lan signal (not with vnc) and then access my computer through pocketvnc or access the files on my computer.

I think he had a point though. In the whole thread there is not one message of Tom Codon himself. Did you ask what he thinks? Maybe he has a few ideas of his own? After all, it will be his ROM...
Who says it will be B&B v4.2? Why not 4.3 or 5.0? If there will be another version let him take care of the numbers.

HTC TyTN Cam's

Hello,
Guys pls help me ... I've one question Where i can select watch 1nd or 2nd Camera ???? or maybe on this shap's 4.20 ROM camera select program doesn't exist ?
Tnx
i would also like the answer to this!
i believe what the original poster is trying to ask is, is it possible to take pictures with the forward facing VGA camera at all?
I may be wrong but the front camera can only be used for video calls, it's only 0.1Mpixel anyway so I can't imagine the quality would be up to much even if you worked out how to.
..and does anyone know if it can be used for skype video call?
thx a lot!
No, it cannot be used for skype video. After all NO mobile device is supported for video calls in Skype.

This cam version lets you choose between cam's. It doesn't have the best cam quality, but it works.
Try coolcamera.......you can use both cameras for taking photos......also works as a messenger webcam via USB (And bluetooth).

Please do, I would love to see. My x01HT is having an issue with the VGA camera, it doesn't work with webcamera plus, coolcamera, or the GPS camera cab. I think it is unpluged as yours was. Is that the one you had not working? Plus it would be half cool to paint it too. Thanks!

i mean, if vijay can lit the flashlight with certain commands without turning on the camera... then the camera switching may be possible too

HTC Tocuh pro 2 Camera questions

Hi,
i am totally new to xda-developers and also to windows mobile, so if i make mistakes please just tell me and dont make trouble i will learn from my mistakes
i have the HTC Touch pro 2 and i actual am discovering my posibillities how to tune up my phone.
But now my question:
the cametra of this device and its autofokus ist not very good. i have to hold the phone really save without any movement to get a sharp image. any move of less than an millimeter and the picture is unsharp (sorry for my bad english, i am german) .
also another fact gets on my nerves:
the time from hitting the button till the autofocus ist ready to shoot ist much too long.
is there any way to switch of the autofocus on the HTC Toch pro 2 and to tune up the camera? i know of different drivers for the dcamera of the diamond so are there better drivers than the original htc driver for the touch pro II too?
with the original settings and drivers the phone is just good to make pictures with an tripod- but to make snapshots the camera isnt useful.
if i posted in the wrong area please move this post and tell me ´bout what i did wrong.
thank you fr your help folks and greetings from germany, bochum.
First of all welcome to XDA. This is the proper forum for your question.
I have not played with the TP2 camera yet as mine is in shipping, however my Kaiser (the predecessor) of the TP2 had an adjustment in the camera set up to change the time between pushing the button and when picture would be taken. There were also other settings that can be changed such as sound etc.
One thing I did find with the autofocus is that if the light is low it takes a long time to get a focus.
I would be interested to see if there is a better driver for the camera. I know on my kaiser I used Navadi's camera and album ripped from another phone. If there is a better one out there I am sure someone will point us in the right direction.
Enjoy your stay, read lots before asking and all will be well. People here are very helpful provided the question is intelligent and properly asked. If you show them you have tried to find an answer they will help you get what you have missed.
hey,
thanks for your fast answer. well, i am very interested in everything arround mobile phones. i made some mods for the motorola razr v3 and i also will start to discover my possibilities for working with windows phone 6.5- and yes, i will read much here. if i will have infos that might be interesting for people here you can be sure i´ll post them here.
well- ´bout the camera- i will stay searching. maybe i can find some ways to make it better
can u giv me the linkk for the camera driver i cant find 1
