Quick cam question (geotagging) - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I'm still using the OLD TyTN, which is a pre-GPS HTC device, so I don't know how well HTC integrates their built-in GPS into their own apps. Does Rhodium camera software include a geotagging for photos option, or does it require a separate hack/software?
(p.s. did a forum search for this, and got no hits, sorry if I missed it)

Not very surprisingly, it doesn't support geotagging out of the box.
You need to install the hack from here. Works great now

htc touch pro 2 , camera geotagging
It s support to use gps in camera for geotagging , you can search youtube to find out how to change your registry to use it .

I have it enabled but I can't seem to get it working ... I keeps on trying to connect to GPS.

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.

Except for Mcrosoft Portrait there is no IM program to allow for video telephony on Pocket PCs so far. Maybe in the future

On a PC, yes, there are programs for turning Windows Mobile device into a webcam - like "Mobiola WebCamera".

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!

well it's vga, and yes it's not so good in term of quality but it's a handy feature for some people...
and to think about it, trinity has the feat... so how come hermes cannot...? there should be way around to do this...
i mean, if vijay can lit the flashlight with certain commands without turning on the camera... then the camera switching may be possible too
don't u think?

Any news about accelerometer API?

Hi,
where could i find the API/SDK for the accelerometer, because i would develope an an application (.net cf) which should use the g-sensor.
no ideas?
Take a look at this application, maybe you can contact the author. I don't know if any API/SDK is used, but it is the first program I have seen wich uses the accelerometer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403939
Thanks, but he don't want to tell us, how they did it.
The authors of GSen won't tell anybody how he did it.
It's a commercial software house... someday they will surely try to sell that utility or develope some commercial applications and games using Diamond's accellerometer.
I presume they reverse engineered Teeter or Opera to find out how it works.
At moment, we keep the infos for several reasons.
GSen is " freeware ", no need to change the status.

Great software ya got there.
Just a feedback.. it's a real pain to edit the config file.
The save function on the device doesnt work. It's like the same function as "restore to default". I had a number of apps there and all gone when I clicked saved. Undo doesnt seem to work either.
Looks like I gotta do the hard way.. check for the window names and edit the config file on PC manually.
Checkout OnDeviceTilt...
After a lot of searching and disassembling manila.exe, etc. i figure out, that we have to use "HTCSensorSDK.dll" in Windows-Directory.
There are functions like "HTCSensorOpen", "HTCSensorClose", etc.
The problem is, that I don't know the parameters of these functions, and HTC won't answer on emails.

the HTCSensorSDK is the Light Sensor not the Accelerometer API, you should disasm the "Teeter" game on the Diamond to see what API's its using
HTCSensorSDK is the API for the accelerometer. I attached a debugger to the teeter app and verified it was one of the loaded modules. There were no other relevent DLLs loaded.
Walsheiu is definitely wrong:
http://scottandmichelle.net/scott/comments.html?entry=784
Scottandmichelle.com figured out the function paramters to the G-Sensor API and released the full source code. It is using HTCSensorSDK.dll.

no worries, i stand corrected, i assumed that was only for the Sensor, so now we know.
I have written a managed wrapper that allows you to access the HTC Sensor SDK easily. More information here:

Just out of curiosity, which kind of applications - games - tweaks or what so ever can we expect with this accelerometer?

gpsdash2 - anyone tried?

Considering buying touch hd, but being able to use gpsdash2 is reasonably important for me. Does it work? If yes, does it work at full resolution? My present pda is a mio a701 and I use gpsdash2 with 1:25.000 maps for registrering botanical locations. Your feedback will be appreciated.
http://wimobi.com/gpsdash/overview.ppc2.php
mikdyb
Ok, so nobody seems to know gpsdash2. Is there anybody out there who would be so fantastically kind as to download and install the program and give me some feedback (I know it is a lot to ask)?
Gpsdash2 can be found here:
http://wimobi.com/gpsdash/overview.ppc2.php
I bought this software what seems years ago for my HTC smartphone (qtek 8310). At that time, it was way ahead of its time. Then, after one update, the developer went offline and never reappeared ever since.
At the moment, I am using Oziexplorer which does the job even better and is supported. Obviously, I now have a ppc (touch HD) and no longer a smartphone.
Conclusion: stay clear of Gpsdash2. It's dead.
Thank you for answering. You are right, of course, gpsdash2 has not been developed for some time. However, I would still like to know how it performs on touch hd, as it it is the program I am used to.
I had a look at Oziexplorer and that will be my alternative, if I cannot use gpsdash2. Does Oziexplorer utilies the full resolution of touch hd?
Doesnt boot on mine sry

I am not sure. It does occupy the full size of the display but the templates you call upon are not 800x480. I don't think it makes a difference as you don't need this sort of resolution with oziexplorer. The maps are actually processed by the software in multiple resolutions, which allows to have crystal clear displays as you zoom in and out. Seing is believing: test it and you'll forget about gpsdash2.
Hope that helps.
ive just tried this on dutty 3.3 XT rom and i get FRamework error? sayin to reinstall.
any ideas why this wont work?
Let's have a look at
HTML:
http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/smartnavigator.html
VITO SmartNavigator works on Blackstone without problems and looks better than gpsdash2.
Problem solved
Thank you all for your replies. Did not get any real feedback on the functionality of gpsdash2, but you gave me some alternatives. Went ahead and bought the touch hd anyway (what an instrument!!!), and after trying both gpsdash2, your suggestions and a couple of other gpsprograms, I came to the following conclusions:
1. Gpsdash2 works to a certain degree if you change screen resolution to vga before installing and before using. However, I am not able to access all menus, so that dosen´t really work for me.
2. Tried Oziexplorer and it is obviosly a wonderfull program. For my needs it is overkill (I don´t need all those functions) and it costs real money. I´ll will certainly keep it in mind should my needs change.
3. Had a look at Vito Smartnavigator, and it would probably have done the job. However, it worries me that the program dosen´t figure on Vito homepage and I had to download from some random site. So what about development and even more important, where to buy a license?
4. Tried some freeware programs and ended up with Terracrosser, http://terracrosser.com, and it does excatly what I need and no more. I have to use sattelite photos instead of 1:25.000 maps, but the program downloads and saves them automatically from google with precise geographical calibration, and I can get the equivalent of 1:6.000 maps if I need it. So a lot less work for me.
Again, thank you all for your contributions.

Terracrosser
I have been using terracrosser and it is wonderful. Best thing is, it is a freeware and I can download goolge maps or yahoo maps (both map and satellite images). It is really easy and I can download selected region. I have maps of places I visit frequently and I add new maps if I am visiting new places. It also works with gps and also gives speed.
The user interface is not so touch screen user friendly when it comes to scrolling the maps. But not a big problem as map scrolling is seldom needed when you have gps. Also the program is under development so lot of new features are being added.

Input method auto change (choose keybord using stylus)

Hi,
I would like to share with You my little app, that I wrote to make using HTC easier and more comfortable. With this app You can assign finger friendly keybord when stylu is In, and small keyboard for stylus when it is out. Unfortunately it works only on devices with stylus sensor like HD, Diamond, Touch Pro, SE X1 (I hope it works, I've tested with BlackStone only). If you have some suggestions, ideas or if You run this app on other devices please let me know.
You can download it from here (Sorry for my English and google translated page).
I've updated apllication to version 1.1.2
New features:
- support landscape mode
- up to four screen keyboard support
I hope it'll be usefull.
nice app...i'm sure it will help me, as it seams that my touch hd keep changing input keybord completely randomly and with no logic whatsoever so will give a try...hope it will bring an law and order to that mess
dobra robota kolego
Uh... I don't think X1 has a stylus sensor...

hi
hi any screenshots available? does it work like sipchange ? able to auto choose which keypad u want after startup ?
I've attached some screens. During system start, application is checking screen oreintation and stylus state and then deciding which keyboard should be used.
Hi, this sounds very interesting. Unfortunatly the link doesn´t work.
Could you just post it here?
Thx, nearly

Thanks man. It works fine in blackstone.
Link doens't work for me too...
I tried the Cab file above, it really works, meaning it will change the Imput method according to stilus in or out.
But if I closed the phone or make a soft reset, the first time I want to write a message the imput method is still the standard one
You must setup program to start service with Windows.
Do you mean select the option "Run at Start up" ?
Yes I did select it but as I mentionned, after a reset or turning the mobile off, the first message I will write will open with the standard keyboard... I then move stilus in and out and it starts to work correctly until the next reset or turn off
So strange, because program is started. Maybe You are using keyboard which is loaded leter. Uncheck 'run at start' and add shortcut to autostart. After this program should start after all proceses and services.
Good idea, I will have a try...

Hi Nitro, is it possible to launch an application when you take out the stylus? I would love to have Phatpad opened when I do so, to take a quick note.
I won't mind closing it the one time I pull out the stylus in another app.
Hope you can help.

Life streaming from TP2? bambuser/livestream/ustream/qik/livecast/justin.tv etc

Hi guys, been a while since the 8525 days, now i'm looking at doing something new (to me) with my TP2. Anyone have a working life streaming solution? I've looked through and tried a bunch, and so far best I've been able to find is ustream or bambuser apps which work well on xdandroid FroYo (Can't get GingerBread to boot all the way..) other than the mike, they do not seem to pick up any sound. . .please advise
some stuff i found, but still no cigar:

Thanks!

Do you want an Android or Windows Mobile solution? If you want an Android solution, you posted in the wrong section.
Well, either..I would like any solution that works on TP2; either on WM6.5, or XDAndroid runnin off my SD card (see top two threads in android dev). Maybe someone even knows a mike fix for the latter. Ustream is nice cause it includes chat capability in the mobile client, but neither it or bambuser pick up any sound.
I just tried Quik4.2 on WM6.5 and it works ok, but Quik kind of sux, crappy website features in comparison and there is no channel chat at all .

XDAndroid requires updated acoustic libraries in order to pick up audio when recording video. Please search before throwing people off on tangents like that.
