Hello
I'm new to pocket PCs and I've recently purchased an XDA II. I have some questions about it.
1/ Is there any camera app (like Photoacute for Symbian OS)? a sort of third party software to record video with a higher resolution Ex VGA resolution video (or a manner to tweak the camera at least). I have such programs on my Nokia 6600 and I think with 400MHz, XDA II can produce astonishing videos
2/ Is there any app to add "phone profiles" feature?
3/ Is there any third party software better than PocketOffice (like QuickOffice for Palm and Symbian)?
Sorry if these questions seem stupid, but I am just a newbie

Please could someone post some photos taken with this device to give us the community a flavour of what the camera is like..many thanks..

Don't care...in every other possible way it doesn't.

Hey Men What A Bomb..Look Like A Dream For We The Magecian Lover...
Video At 640*480 WoW!!!!!!!!!!
Though Its Telling it is a unregistered Version And It Cant Save The Pics...
Too Bad
I Can Pay Any Amount To Get The Full Working Version...
Please Tell Us Who Is The Developer Of This Software...And The web Adress U Get It From...
Please Keep In Touch And Deliver The Full Version
Thanks.
What's the purpose of the demo if we can't save the video? :roll:
think its a fake, just someone who's using the standard API's in a nice way
Don't think there is a standard API for WM2003.

I thought I saw some line in the exe that stated that: GXBeginDraw, GXEndDraw etc.
Doesn't he just makes a connection from the camera to the display and uses hardware function to set the image to a resolution or effect and teases us with 640*480 video?
Could be, I haven't looked into this app yet, no time, but AFAIK there was no HTC published API for the camera. That doesn't mean it can't be used by 3rd parties of course. And on WM5 it's built into the OS as well.

something like this:

I've seen the CowBurn code before, but it's not an HTC or Microsoft API, so it's not really an "official" API. Good stuff though, and very useful.
V
hmmm, is it? I was always to lazy to install the VS package for it, maybe I should give it a try...
But, what do you think, is the S100 capable of doing 640*480 video? I thought it was hardware restricted? :?:
Just had a proper look through the CowBurn code. As far as I can see, this isn't an interface to the camera, but merely a wrapper around the built in camera.exe right?
That's not as crufty as hacking into the HTC dlls/drivers themselves...
V
Seems to be very nice, indeed. Any plans on releasing a working version?
see www.ateksoft.com
OK ZUP! :lol:
Thanks! seems to be a serious effort!
Hope they can get a better result out of the cam than HTC did :wink:
It's already march! Just release it []
NEW VERSION
There is a new version, check the site noted bij suip2006!
It seems that this version is able to capture and save data, but it doesnt work for me
sorry, that seems to be limited to the shareware version, but where is it? :?

I guess they will release it when they are happy with it. I would wait an extra couple of weeks for s/w that works rather than getting something early that's buggy.

But isn't it something like Windows Mobile 5.0 for Magician?
If you hear that its out...willn't you be the first one to try it for real? even a beta buggy one?
This comcoder software is not that important...but its next to win 5.0 and Bluetooth...so its normal we the people who use magician's camera a bit more then general user will be interested to use this....even a buggy one...
Camera alredy available!
It Works!
Has anyone able to compare these two phones yet? I currently have the older HTC HD and I now want to upgrade my phone either to the HTC HD2 or the Nexus One.
I don't know which one is better for me.
Outside using it as a phone, I like to use it to watch videos and use the GPS system. On my current HTC HD phone, I already have CorePlayer (latest version) and I am using Garmin as my 3rd party navigation system.
I also like to take good pictures and capture videos. The HTC HD is terrible in taking photos and capturing videos.
Please, search befor opening new threads.
Your answer is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610117&highlight=hd2+nexus
The stuff you have on your HD should work on the HD2 as well. The HD2 has a slghtly better camera than the Nexus one (better software, better flash and picture quality seems to be a bit better). For GPS, nothing can beat Windows Mobile.
Two phones are same structure
only problem - HD2 comes with bigger screen and a very weak 1230mAh battery.
Taking photos using HD2 is freaking fast especially when compared to the Touch HD.
And HD2 can capture videos up to 640x480 pixels about 3 time higher in resolution than the Touch HD that is capable only at CIF.
is there any possibilty to tune-up one x's camera application with full functions to our DHD?
such as fast shooting, HDR function, panaroma function, snapshot during video, etc.?
Simple:
Fast shoting not posible. At least not as fast as x one. Because of camera chip. And the extra processor that is dedicated just fot picture taking.
HDR yes. But Don't expect any picture comperable with one x
Take a picture while taking video . Not possible must have at least dual core. Desire HD hardly keeps working with only videotaking at 720p.
The application itself could be ported but requires kernel 3 and special drivers.
SUM:In my opinion not worth a try.

first of all thank you very much for sharing your opinion.
you may be right q&a section could be more proper for this kind of question, however everybody is focused on "expected ics update" very much in there.
I am using several programs for my camera demands, what I'm asking is a combined solution like hox's camera application.
Actually I tried so many roms with sense 3.5 and 3.6 however their camera applications are not flawless.
Some have panorama in the options, however they do not work as intended.
By the way now I am aware that it will not be possible to have that excellent application (with full working functions) on our old friend.
thank you...

First of all, this is not really the correct section for questions but guess this could lead into some interesting general discussion and theorycrafting.
As far as I know, porting the Sense 4.0 camera w/ features is not possible at all without the required driver information from HTC. Also it is certain that our phones' hardware-specs would not be sufficient for a complete user-experience even if there was a port available.
You might want to look into Sense 3.0/3.5 cameras for taking high-quality panoramas. ICS stock-camera is sometimes more user friendly but the quality is mostly a bit lower. Fast Burst Camera does what it says: takes multiple photos per second. This should serve your needs. Camera apps supporting HDR-effects or similar can be found from the Play store.
Taking photos while capturing video is still a bit of a mystery for me but my lucky guess is that the hardware limitations play a big role in this. Why not just take a screenshot from the media player? High Definition video quality (720p) should do just fine, you just need to use a Gingerbread ROM.

Actually its NOT A DUAL CORE PRICCESOR issue. there are actually two camera chips in the sensor. I did my research

Hello Guys
We all know how poor is the AOSP's camera app by supporting features ( slow motion exc. ). And N4 has a bad video recording quality with 12mbps bitrate. We can improve it by a mod ( topic is at the second link i gave ) or with a program called LGCamera. Well there is no visible difference between 12mbps and 20mbps.
I made some research and found that these phones use the same Sony Exmor IMX111PQ image with N4.
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ( It supports slow motion feature )
- LG Optimus HD 4x
- LG Nexus 4
There are two topics i found that they are useful for this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...vs-nexus-4-camera-recording-v0-2-avc-t2159076
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/mod-increase-camera-audio-video-image-t2039553
How can we improve the Camera App ? Is there any port from Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ?
I would love slowmotion feature. Its awesome on iphone.
First of all at the brochure of IMX111PQ it says that the sensor can take 720p at 60FPS.
And we know examples of Snapdragon S4 Pro can take 720p 90FPS videos. So where is the problem ? I think it's defintly software limitations.
They share the same hardware but different camera drivers, that's one of the reasons we have such poor camera quality... mostly is bad-optimised drivers. (the sensor has some blame on this too).
Our hope is to get new camera drivers with the new Google Camera that has been announced some weeks ago, if not, it'll be more like another camera that you can find at playstore.
Well it can be the optical stuff also ( optical elements ). But its not only the video quality. The camera app is very stricted. There is no options to select.

Bump. I like my N4, and before making my decision on going on another phone, the only thing I do not like is the camera. Takes longer to focus, bad image quality (unless i photoshop afterwards) . So isn't there any way of improving it?
