Camera Timer

Does anybody know of a simple camera timer that I can install on my Xda2? I've searched around but not really come up with anything...
Thanks in advance

Here is one.
Unzip the attached file and copy cameratimer.exe to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs on your XDAII.
Cheers
Jamie

Just wanted to check now some people have downloaded it, is it working ok?
I have hard coded the camera app to \Windows\Camera.exe but wasn't sure if the windows directory has a different name in other countries.
Cheers
Jamie

Works nicely for me. T-Mobile ROM 1.60. Also works for video if you have the camera set to that mode. Cool.

Thanks, a neat little utility.

Excellent! Works like a charm, many thanks!

i actually posted this topic a while back; asking if there was indeed a camera timer app. nice to see that there IS one! cheers

compatibility
does this work with other pocket pcs that can take photos?

I doubt it will work on non Himalaya based devices. Unless they use the same IA camera app and it must be located in \Windows\Camera.exe
Jamie

excellent little utility Thanks

now all we need is a custom-built tripod...

Jamie,
Thanks a lot for the nifty little application. If you have sometime on your hands can you consider adding a commandline parameter option? I would love to be able to call your application with a call like
CameraTimer /t5 /Quiet
and get it to do its magic quietly. The /Quiet parameter would mean it would exit the Camera application after taking the picture. Can this be done?
Thanks in advance. Best Regards

Ok, a new version. This one will run as the old one or you can put a number on the command line which will cause it to run in "Quiet" mode.
eg "Camera.exe 10"
Jamie

Sorry didn't read that last post properly.
You can now add a "q" to make it exit the camera app after taking a picture eg:-
"CameraTimer.exe" will run with UI
"CameraTimer.exe 10" will run without UI
"CameraTimer.exe 10 q" will run without UI and exit the camera app after it's done.
Jamie

Simple is great! Thanx!

Jamie,
This is amazing!!! Thanks for responding so fast! Most appreciated.
Best Regards

Thanks... and more!
Hello and thanks for this great little program!
Since you've been very responsive to previous suggestions and you may still have all the development environment configured for this little tool, I thought I would try to request new features too! Here are my ideas:
- Display a static text field in the program dialog box that shows your name, the program version and a summary of the command line options. This should bring you the fame you deserve for writing this tool... and also help people to remember how to use the "unattended" mode!
- add an option (both GUI and command line) to loop <X> number of times (or maybe until closed?) sleeping for the <delay> seconds and taking a new picture. This would make the program great for a sort of continuous picture log, where it could be used to take shots every <delay> seconds for the whole day. I could also be useful if you are alone and trying to take your own picture: set the device to repeatedly take one shot a second, start this and just calmly walk over, try different poses, lure unsuspecting strangers into the frame, whatever... You can later simply keep only the good shots.
Just some ideas, I hope you won't mind people being so demanding!
;-)

The time delay and extended photo shoot option is certainly a good idea but then I guess you will need to take the cradle with you to support the unit while it takes the shots.

I've now added the loop option and fixed a couple of bugs.
You can download the latest version at http://www.coderz.co.uk/cameratimer.html
@lostgweilo, sorry only the UI version supports looping

HTX X-Button 2.0 Build 30487

I was using this for a while in a beta ROM made available to me and was not allowed to share but... I just saw the cab posted elsewhere so I'm posting it here.
Very interesting to say the least!
Enjoy!

Thanks Dr P this is a great improvment on the current X-button Thanks for the Great find and sharing!!!

Thanks!Work great on my TYTN with ITA ROM!!!

Try pbar
More features, very low memory, a worth replacement (and you can turn on BT/Wifi with it)

thanks for posting this. it sure looks a lot nicer and seems a bit more responsive than version 1.51, but uses a lot more memory, I'm down almost 2MB after installing. anyone else experience this?

I've been using this for a week now (got it from "It's Right - TNT") with no issues and is an improvement over 1.5x

Can't click the top bar battery icon unless I tap and hold and programs in the exclusion list seem to open up slow, other than that it's nice .

Thanks Dr Puttingham,
it's working great on a Sprint Mogul as well, no issues I've seen yet.
It's nice having the couple of extras on the drop down menu.
Thanks Again

2mb of what ram?

This is a very nice evolution - thank you for sharing.

thanks very much, got same features as O2 plus, but that wasn't very stable I think. Nice update.

Yes indeed, we owe all thanks to It's Right for this. I was testing a ROM in August for another cook (not It's Right) that had it cooked in. To protect sources I couldn't speak of it..... but now that's history!
Kudo's to It's Right!

Great improvement....thanks

Thanks! Works great on my AT&T 8525.

No problems - also fixed SPB font colour issue!
I've put this upgrade on my Jasjam with official Dopod 838pro WM6. Very stable, and I no longer have to hide the Today screen button due to SPB Diary font colour problem (previous version would make fonts all black). Well done!

workink great
tnx

Can this be using with WM5?

and still it can't show any of the pocket outlook application icons.

hummm...for some reason it will not install on my Tytn II. i'm sure it's related to some security policy; i've modified the usual policies but no luck. any suggestions would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Redownloaded cab file 3 times until i got one that wasn't corrupted. all is working now!

so.... anyone know how to map "close" to a hard button? Or even map that little X-Button dropdown to a hard button? I've searched around and haven't found anything useful so far...

PocketDos glitching graphics in Street Rod 1 & 2 Game...any help

I started using PocketDos First, its the demo/trial version. I am trying to play either version 1 or 2 of the classic dos game "street rod" by california dreams. I have pocketdos loaded, the nag screen clears and then i execute SR to open the game. I get a choce of video options, ega, cga, vga etc. I use vga as its the only choice that semi works. Game loads up just fine and looks great. Sound works too! 2 problems. First the mouse doesent calibrate properly. I have tried to recalibrate the mouse from the menu and it works for roughly 3 clicks or so and the mouse is then uncalibrated again and off by quite alot. Secondly and most importantly, once you exit your garage to either head to the burger joint to race, or the gas station to fill up. the graphics from the inside view of the car are all glitchy. from the top of the dash and up(windshield) looks fine, but below the dash, all the gauges, steering wheel, and shifter console are displaying strange blinking graphics. Basically you cannot drive a vehicle because of this graphics issue. When your in the garage everything works great! any ideas as to why the graphics would glitch while driving? I have a post on a forum where the pocketdos tech support is...but they are not very willing to help. I have also tried a couple other emulators listed in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1276884
however i either couldnt figure out how to configure the emulator, or once i got the game loaded the Mouse didnt work at all and i couldnt navigate thru the game.
Here is the link to the forum where i was asking for help from the pocketdos admins
http://forums.pocketpcfaq.com/viewtopic.php?t=19883
And here are a couple screenshots of the game running on my advantage..the last two shots show what the graphics are doing when i try to drive....if you have any advice, please let me know. And these screenshots are from POCKETDOS, walls port i cannot get the mouse to click, so i'm currently only able to use this emulator, pocketdos.

I am now trying walls port pDOSBox2.0. I get the game to load, everything seems to be ok, i can see the mouse in game, but when i click...nothing happens..the pointer isnt registering the clicks in game..any ideas if I am going to use this port? I just want to be able to play this retro game on my advantage! Thanks for your help

and just so everyone knows the game works perfectly on a windows machine..so its not something wrong with the game itself

I know its kinda a tough question, as its probably got to be answered by a person with PocketDos experience....I know your out there somewhere oh wise pocketdos person
on a side note..anyone else ever play either of the two dos games back in the day?

nobody out there has experience with pocketdos?

Well here is my response from the pocketdos support:
Dear Sir,
It appears as if this software is using a hardware feature of the EGA/VGA chipset which is not supported by PocketDOS. Unfortunately, this feature is non-trivial to implement in PocketDOS, and is used by very few software titles as it is not even supported by all VGA chipsets. In short, there is no way to run this software correctly under PocketDOS.
Thank you for your interest.

COMMENT IF YOU FIND ANY BUGS

Not realy any bug but it's just too slow.
Well not slow but it lags, I have like 0,5sec delay from pressing the key to actual sound. Also I would love to see a layered sound engine so that it can handle multiple samples at one time.

Sorry, try closing background apps. .NET is not meant for this type of software.

hi there,
just downloaded and played around with it for a while.
- is there any possibility to play more than one note at a time?i don't mean the touchscreen-wise way but the duration of the current sound being played: it just stops when you press another key without fading out or anything like that.
- you could make the keys larger by removing the two double C's at the right side of each octave and scaling down the application's title. would be much more comfortable to play with fingers then.
but nice work so far...been searching for such a thing for quite a while!

Thanks for downloading.
1. Yes it will be better in next version I'm experimenting with fmodce
2. Maybe.

Works fine with HTC Universal - WM6.1
But, the speed of reaction is a problem for me, cannot playing fast on the piano

thank you very much it's cool tools or game lol

OK I will try to fix delay problem in next version.

Nice
Nice work.
Speed is a bit of a problem, but I like it.
http://mobilespoon.blogspot.com

I see over 500 downloads but no one is commenting .

I love this app its gr8 but like evryone else i wuld say speed shuld be improved a little bit.....

Nice project man. I like guitar sound and it´s cool. Only problem..delay posted for users. No apps in background. Installed in Mio A701 (WWE 6.1 optimized, 520 Mhz, just flashed and light).
Thanx for your work
Frank

, it s cool logiciel
problèm: no speed , sound... thank again

Cool app! Thanks for the effort!
Now what I really need is a music teacher to teach me how to play

Looks great!!!
Trying now, and thanks for share
Cheers
Mozillaxom

Niceeee! Finally you got the update out Was waiting anxiously for this! But why didn't you make the octaves variable? 2 Are still kinda few for playing real piano...well anyways thanx alot!

Nice!!!! Speed is only problem...

Congratulations on the program. I´m having speed issues too. My PDA: Axim X51v (624MHz), WM6.
Besides the speed lag issue, there´s also another: when I press a key it stops the sound of a previously pressed key, wich is annoying.
Try to solve these problems and this will be the best Piano/Guitar/Drums/Violin program ever made to PPC.

Thanks! Will try this on my Qtek 9100.

Thanks for comments. I ll try to make it polyphonic.

Jumba - Game for WVGA Smartphones

Hi guys!
This is my first game for Windows Mobile. You can download and check it out for free!
Download Jumba here!
It should work on all WVGA devices, like HTC Diamond 2, HTC Touch HD, Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, Toshiba TG01, Asus P835, Acer Tempo F900 and many more...
This download contains a German and English version.
The game is quite addictive, but the best thing is the online highscore system. So you can compete with all the other players in daily/weekly/monthly and all-times highscore list.
New in Version 1.1:
- Reduced sound volume
- Added options to disable sound and vibration to the main menu
- These settings get saved automatically
- Fixed crash when dragging balls out of the playing field
- Added a clickable link to the activation screen
New in Version 1.2:
- Fixed a bug that caused continuous vibrations on some phones
New in Version 1.3:
- Fixed display of numbers for pro-gamers:
- Score can go up to 99,999,999
- Last score to 99,999
- Level to 999
Here are two screenshots (from the German version):

Nice one there are few games for wvga devices. i will give it a shot

Exactly
Since I couldn't find any good WVGA games I figured out I had to write my own ^^

will this work for VGA screens? if not, any plans to make it VGA compatible?
thanks.

Great work! An excellent variation on the "connect n objects with similar properties" theme. WVGA graphics are splendid, and I really enjoyed the game! I played till level 7, I think, before a crash happened. I use a Blackstone.
My criticism:
Jumba did crash on me mid game. Simply try dragging a ball below the playing field. Seems to be reproducible.
I really dislike the vibrations - especially when my device is set to 'silent'!
Shortcut should install to "Games", not "Programs".
At least make a clickable hyperlink to your activation site. The address can't even be copied to the clipboard.
I'm out of trials, so I guess I need to consider activating!

Glad to hear there is a new WVGA game for my HD....thanks and appreciate your great works!

Thanx! Great work!

how to activate???? any K***y thanks

Hi guys!
Thanks for your feedback, especially to ugumba. I'll try to fix everything this week. The new version will be up soon
@danielng7:
I don't get what you're saying
@all:
I hope 3,99€ isn't too much for a game like this. At first I considered releasing it as freeware, but since I spent almost a month of my free time on this project I thought a little fee would be ok.

Hey, you stole my name!
Just kidding.

So basically you're self promoting....... i'm not going to lie, a little disappointed.
You don't usually see threads for games on here, which cost money. Sorry, but I won't be buying. Goodluck and nice work tho.

And after a while the vibrations get completely stuck, so you have to reset your device.
Also the sound is too loud and the sound on/off status should be saved in the registry.
Unfortunately my 3 testruns are all spent due to the resets, so no further "testing" from me
(and I will not pay 4 euro's for faulty software)

@fransb:
I'm sorry you encountered so many problems. I can assue you they did not occur on my device, otherwise I would have fixed them.
But thanks a lot for your feedback. I'll include your criticism on this weeks's ToDo list.
Maybe you could tell me what exactly happened with the vibration? How to did you manage to get it "stuck"???

Hi folks!
Just uploaded version 1.1. For a change log check out my first post (the download link has been updated, too). It can be installed directly over the old version.
Hope you like it

what the HECK???
you said it's free. only 3 times trial???? so much DISAAPOINTED!
also, can not open! unexpected error occur! HTC HD!

nicely done dude I will try it right now

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, with half a game played, three resets and no credits left it is a bit hard to tell now what happened isn't it???
And I resent the fact that you imply that I got the vibration stuck. I never encountered this before, so it most be your faulty software, not me ....
Sorry to be a bit harsh, but you are promoting a commercial piece of software and expecting us to debug it for you (for free?) ....

come on dude stay calm
what is wrong with you, you are the only one having this bug and you are not really respectful !
If you want VanKurt to help you I suggest you to smile
By the way I really love this game VanKurt and it is working perfectly on my HD

hanackin said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why should I be respectful to a company that is selling buggy software and promoting it as "free" here?
Maybe I am the only one with this bug, but I never encountered software before (ok, my own faulty code snippets) that requires a reset due to a bug.

he did say "Check it out for free"... not "it IS free"... I dunno, I guess I see the difference in it.
