Sorry if this is in the wrong place but was not sure where to post it.
Just wondered if anyone had managed to find/spot a Application anywhere that does additional camera modes just yet, I know the camera has a half dozen effects builtin but it's missing such as Pencil and Xray.
I had these via a App on my iPhone 4 called Camera Illusion, however I decided to sell my iPhone 4 as soon as I could get hold of a HTC HD7 as I got a little bored of it lol
Thanks for your help guys.

Hi Jamie
I don't think any of the launch devices have these abilities built-in, but I'm sure there will be apps that do this in the near future, if there aren't already.
In a mildly related topic, I have read the the Omnia 7 provides advanced camera options for exposure etc as well as having decent camera hardware.
These are some apps I think make the TILT 2 better for everyday use. Some are for fun and some are enhancements. I will not waste time listing GPS apps cause most custom roms come with GOOGLE MAPS & BING and I think they safice as far as GPS apps go. Hope you like some of em.

Actually, there's a lot special about that thread. For one, it is a Sticky, making it easy to find, and it is in the Apps subforum where it belongs. For another, it has lots of useful posts from users with not only their ideas on helpful software for our phones, but many links to much of that software and even attached files that can be downloaded without leaving the thread.
You're right about your thread not being special (it's the only thing lame in all this). It has many of the same apps already in the Sticky and little of new value. Had you posted your list in the existing Sticky I'm sure someone might have found it useful, but by starting a new thread in the wrong subforum you've only added to the clutter that makes things hard to find and defeats the purpose of doing a search. Thanks for that.
Hi guys.
Who wanted a free barcode scanner? Here we are...
No network connection needed; app based on zxing library and Kevin Marshall's (from Clarity Consulting, can't remember his blog url now) code.
I just slightly modified the original code and added a few (probably useful but not sure ) services.
App interface is very simple: run application, focus on barcode, and wait until code is recognized. Touch handset screen to run recognition again.
Buttons description:
- "Save" saves captured barcode to jpeg;
- "Bing" and "Google" used for barcode web lookup (probably this part needs more work)
- "Mail" and "SMS" used for sending recognized code text.
Enjoy!
UPDATE 1: v 1.1, auto focus added;
UPDATE 2: v 1.2, orientation-less UI added, project moved to opensource at googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/barcodescan/
UPDATE 3: v 1.2.1, slightly changed autofocus logic, now works better on HTC. Download link: http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner.xap
UPDATE 4: v 1.2.2
- barcode search improved;
- added HTC detection, changes in autofocus logic;
http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner_1.2.2.xap
Is this a marketplace app?

I can't seem to get it to do anything. It says 'Scanning...' and I'm trying different distances to codes, but nothing ever happens. Any pointers?
Is this limited to any country or is it just reading out what the barcode says?
OK, lets go through step by step:
- it's not a marketplace app and have no chance to be published 'cause it uses undocumented camera API; you should download and unpack attachment and sideload the app;
- if you can't capture the barcode, try better lighting. Also, move a handset to autofocus camera. In my tests the scanner captured 100% of barcodes: from books, computer part boxes, foodstuff...
- it's not limited to US 'cause (I believe) the barcodes are international. And yes, it's just reads the barcode; however you may bing or google results, in the most cases search engines able to find product/book description or specifications.
It's a very basic scanner; if someone can recommend online API/service to parse barcode value, I can add it to the program (but I really do not want to spend much time for this)
It technically works but the issue is lack of AF or Macro access.
On my Focus, it only works if I scan a barcode off of my PC (do an image search for one) --then it's super fast and quick.
Books, CDs, etc. do not work, regardless of lighting or distance--I suspect because the camera is not trying to AF. Any work around to that?
I've tested first on HTC Surround - work perfect (I can prove). But you've right about Focus'es bad autofocus (LOL, sound nonsense - "Focus have no autofocus"!).
Will see what I can do... Any other suggestions or wishes (about barcode lookup, UI, etc.)?
P.S. Fixed (reload version from the first post), now working good on Samsung Focus.

Boom.
Working great on Focus now. Nice job. Think I'll try an LG next... bwahaha
As far as changes, no none right now. I'm sure what other apps use for barcode price comparisons--but perhaps a tie into Amazon or eBay would be good. Too bad you can't just jack into ShopSavvy's system with it, lol. If I think of any, will post back.
Edit: Working on LG Quantum too!

Nope. Fine on my Focus. It does work with accelerometer, you sure that isn't it?
Works well on my HD7! Great job! Hopefully it will tie in with Amazon and save previous searches within the app etc

Do you have any interest in releasing the source? I may have some time to improve upon this a bit, but I'd rather not start from scratch (or step on any toes re-creating virtually the same thing).

problem htc hd7
how do i copy this scanner programme to my htc hd7
i really hate this phone i had a htc touch pro 2 and it was far better can someone help me out here and also if some one can teach me how to customize personal ringtone would be great
Thx for the code. Really usefull to learn from this
Sometimes when you scan a barcode and touch the screen to start again. After a few seconds it stops and shows the last barcode again.
It looks like the UI thread is catching up scanning some images. How to get rid of this?

Sorry, I don't have a time for that application now but it should be significantly refactored.If you want you may join the project and continue development, we can share some ideas for app improvement etc.
As for problem u described, you should play with the different capture resolutions or give some hardcoded "pause" to recognition library Also, MS camera API (still not officially allowed) is not documented and very poor... However it's a great field for experiments and hacks
Thanks! That works great on my HD7.

Im not that experienced in multiple threads. Do you think the problem is in the Zxing lib?
Looking at the code the Zxing lib should have a completed event from which you can restart or show the image.
This code works but is racing and racing in the UI thread and after finding a barcode and restarting it looks like something from a buffer is used..
Code:
private void GrabFrame()
{
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
{
if (_Camera != null && CameraVisualizer.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
{
WriteableBitmap wb = new WriteableBitmap(640, 480);
_Camera.GetCurrentFrame(wb);
wb.Invalidate();
ScanBarcode(wb);
wb.DisposeIfPossible();
GrabFrame();
}
});
}

I've noticed that "loop" acts as a web page... Maybe Original KinOS is exploitable. Can someone run tests on Original OS? I have a feeling that it has a weakness.
We dont really know what the inner differences are yet, so who knows.
The only thing that could help is the case where the original OS had some kind of exploitable app/config.
And you can always disable the air data thing. I never had it enabled (although i didnt use the phone to call).

Alright, I guess i'll downgrade and check it out. I really need RSS feed, im tired of using google reader.
I meant that i used the airplane mode and i dont have CDMA coverage, so beware of what you do. I couldnt be charged cause of no network.

True. But there's no Kin Studio.. How can I be charged for transferring data to something that doesn't exist?
Pros
-The Spot
Cons
-Discontinued Loop, Microsoft discontinued the Cloud which powers the Loop
-No Calculator
-No Calendar
-[reverting in general] deletes EVERYTHING off of your device
-Non-Functioning Kin Studio (FaceBook/Twitter)
Basically, all you really get is the Spot which helps you send photos and videos a bit. But, no calculator or calendar application is very annoying. AND, your device may NOT be compatible with downgrading. Please visit forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049473 for more information about device downgrade compatibility.

The app runs alot smoother. And Quality is done by comparing two pictures. One taken on 1.0.1 OS and one taken on 1.0 OS.
I will be upgrading today. I can take a few sample pics and see accurate comparison.
I would like to see the comparison so can you post them up?

Hey guys. I was browsing Google Play Store (like I do every night at work ) and I came across this app called Tapestry, It's pretty much a photo sharing app and I was wondering if It could be the equivelent to the S3's share shot feature. Here's the links to play store and Google I/O interview for app below. Seems like a pretty cool app and kinda similar to S3's share shot feature

Hey BigSmooth. A few of us on the forum stumbled onto the app just like you. They've since updated the app to offer support back down to Gingerbread. Great move, because previously, with Jelly Bean only support, it would've been hard to get users. I think the reference you're making to Samsung is the Galaxy SIII's "Group Share" feature. I have many friends w/ GSIII, but none of them use it because they tell me it takes like 15 clicks to get it setup. I wonder why Samsung keeps advertising this feature when it works so poorly on their phones. I guess they think it is a cool and popular use case. But based on how I've been using Tapestry with friends and family, I think it is easier to use (3 clicks to setup vs. 15), and works on 85% of all Android phones (instead of just GSIII) now that they have Gingerbread support. Tapestry also has synchronized pinch/zoom/panning, as we as real-time P2P download of images. My wife thinks it is pretty nifty she can grab whatever images she likes right then and there.
