Hi,
just wondering if there is any messenger sw for the universal, making use of the camera as a webcam....for both MSN & yahoo?
i've only been using Agile messenger so far, and i havent really bothered looking around for other messenger sw....
I guess a messenger with webcam functionality for the universal would be really slick!
S
Now there's a great ideia!!!!
wouldnt this be quite doable since windows mobile 5 has a standard api (i think) for the camera?

its very much doable! Just waiting for the people out there to "do it"
Wonder if AgileMobile would really do it or not....its freeware, and most freeware dont have frequent "free" updates
Thats the reason i asked if there is any other commercial messenger app...we could contact the developers and ask them to add the feature in....
S
Is it just my Exec then or are you all ... really .. glossing over the fact that Agile messenger was designed for far lower res displays and looks chunky, distorted and UGLY on the Exec? Not to mention being unreadably blurry and pixellated text when you have anti aliasing on?
Or the fact that you cant use it in full screen with the keypad?
Uhm these are show stoppers for me tbh.
Sorry.
Dear all,
I have been wondering if there is an application with messenger, which would have hermes frontcam as a webcam. After a long search I did not manage to find any apps like this. (with this i mean an app, which is running on the WM, NOT on PC).
However I came across one opinion about the thing that it could NOT be possible, since the heavy need of processing of the cam. I started thinking is that right, how much processing speed does it need to run a webcam with like only few pictures per second and a basic chat app running on msn messenger standard.
In my unprofessional opinion that should be possible, and if it is, why isnt anyone else interested in this kind of a thing, and why its not available.
Please somebody, do that kind of an application so I wouldnt have to learn WM PPC programming just because to do that.
or alternatively, prove me wrong.

It is defenately possible. I use Web Camera plus and you phone will act as a perfect webcam. You can even choose if you want the front cam or normal cam.

Thanks for the cool info!
Unfortunately that is working as a webcam for a messenger running on a PC only.. Not for messenger application running on my Hermes itself.
Is this impossible, is this going to be my Alamo?
/Henry
Ow, that i do not know. I'm not aware of an app that can do that, allthough i think it should be possible.
Maybe someone else can help you.
Im going to have to say that i doubt such a program exists or will exist.
MSN uses a lot of processing power to convert raw video into a streamed format.
Just because it is possible to do 3G video calls doesnt mean that MSN will use the same compression method.
What they'd first need to develop is voice calls through MSN. Not just voice clips.
hey, check out microsoft portrait, it has an app for both PC and PPC it is actually a development for voice/cam chat for portable devices, work on my wizard, however I don't have a hermes, so you will just need to try it and see, post back the results.

on my wizard it does have a drop down for the different cameras it detects, however the wizard only has one camera, so i believe it may bring up both cameras on the hermes

Cool stuff! Will try it out as soon as I get a internet connection.. Just now Im located in Netherlands (against my will ) without internet subscription and with horrible dutch 3g data transfer pricing.
Reporting back from Finland! The land of the thousands lakes and stuff..
---
sry for that.. just noticed that the file is actually under 1 meg.. so even I can afford that with stupid dutch pricing..
I tried to install it but i couldn't
I've got the last windows installer but the msi gives me a error message every time (i'm running a windows xp professional sp2)

I will try that out later tonight. Which version of WM are you running? 5 or 6? and which version of the phone you have? ..or maybe you ment that its not installing on your computer..
I mean that is not installing on my computer, if I transfer the file to my hermes, it doesn't work either.
Does it work for you ?
I'm on WM6 (Schaps version 3.54c)
I just got my X1, and the lag has got me down a bit :\
However, I'm still sure that its a great phone, and has tons of potential.
The thing is... before I got the phone, I had so many ideas of what I wanted to do with it. But now that I have it... I'm completely blank o_o
What have you guys been doing with your X1s?
How are you enjoying it?

The first thing is forget about the stock rom and try some cooked rom.
lol, well this is my first winmo phone, so I really dont know what I'm doing
No clue how to flash a new ROM and dont wanna risk bricking my phone by screwing up >.>
In addition to the regular texting and im'ing. I use it to listen to music watch movies, do quick editing on office suites, streaming with orb.Also used for taking photos and videos and uploading to facebook.
It all comes down to the apps I suppose.
Satnav
Podcasts (stupid word for audio streams)
RSS feeds
VNC
Minutes manager
Telemarketing blocker
C# IDE
It's like a little computer. There's not much it can't do. TV on demand would be nice.

That is awesome!!! Being a .Net developer myself, i'm excited to try this one out...
the best thing i do is to unlock everything on my rom without flash them so i dont have to void my warrenty and got touch flo 3d pannel, coreplayer to watch high quality movies, i got a 16gb to store all of them!
I currently use on my X1:
-Subsembly FinPhone (real mobile banking from all over the connected world)
-TTQV Pathaway (Moving Map and GPS Tracking Software)
-Basic4ppc Version 5.80 (BASIC IDE for PPC)
-complex Pocket Excel sheets i.e. for forecasts, financial calculations,
budgeting, event planning
And: I'd really like to try vsNotepad (by VirtualSpaghetti) but it suffers from an uncalibrated UI

Please let me know about more about this IDE which sounds like to be one running on the PPC.
so short
snoman
Wow, sounds like you guys are all doing such professional things with your X1s
Im still trying to get used to mine and finding the right programs..
Where do you guys find your programs? Ive only looked at places like handango and getjar.
I use the following
Online:
Orb
Logmein
Windows Live Mesh
Google Maps
Offline:
Tomtom
Coreplayer
Resco File Explorer
Worms (awesome game)

Well it's a C# IDE. Very nice too. Get it from here, and see what you think. It doesn't need to be installed: it just runs.
Speaking of cool apps for PocketPC, PocketBlender is a great idea, but I find it unfinished and unstable. Does anyone know of other free CAD viewers?
TrackMe is nice. Again, I'd be interested to hear of alternatives since Trackme depends on .net and an SQLserver.
Nicetrack looks to be brilliant, but it doesn't work on the X1. Apparently only a minor source-code tweak is needed to fix this.

I just think what I want, then enter it into a search engine along with the words "for Windows Mobile" or "for PocketPC"

This seems like a good place to mention OBD II on the X1. Somewhat of a challenge since we need to use the MicroSDIO for a comm interface, and www.obd2cables.com have a minimum order of 250pc for custom cables. OBD II is the thing which mechanics use to look at what's gone wrong with your car. I've not had any luck starting topics on the subject.
Nice one Pyrojester
I didn't realise LogMeIn was available for windows mobile. Now I can work while i'm away from work/home.

hi pyrojester,
do u mind showing the URL where i can purchase the worms game?
- Watching movies
- Listening to music
- surfin the web
- read/write blogs
- phone stuff (of course)
- taking pics/vids
- tweaking the system *lol*
- mass storage
- office docs
- writing longer docs
- ...
I use it to access VNC computers or remote desktops. It's quite useful for FTP access too.
You can do pretty much what you want with it.
Though WVGA is great for VNC, remote desktop, FTP browsing, Corecodec, Xnview, TomTom, MSN (IM), and of course mails.
nothing as i amm still trying hard to tweak it LOL
Hi Guys
A couple of months ago, I saw microsofts new facebook app and downloaded it to my touch diamond. Very soon, however, I realized that it kinda sucks, because everything is so slow and ugly. And u cant click on several pictures and it partly just doesnt work. So I searched for another facebook app, but I just didn´t find anything better.
If I could write programs on my own, then I would really make a new facebook app, but since I can´t, I´m just asking u guys if there isn´t a way to make a really cool facebook app, I mean like better than the one from microsoft. Maybe you can use the microsoft one as a base/ start and just make it better or something, but it would be really cool to have a good working facebook app on windows mobile.
you can use your browser and to to iphone.facebook.com its better and easier to use than the mobile facebook, other than that i think currently the microsoft one is the best (which personally i havent really found any issues with it, you may just need a faster connection eg. WiFi)
thanks man....iphone.facebook.com is awesome.
i use this program.. no need to open internet browser.. no need to install cab.. very small app but useful and powerful.. much better than microsoft's official fb app.. the only disadvantage, it doesnt support touch flo.. need to use D-pad
file attached
well....i think every facebook app for wm has some special features...but none is including all these cool things...like the chat or notifications and the possbility to look at pictures...etc. at the same time..it would be cool to kinda add them together...
btw..i realized an issue on iphone.facebook.com.: i wasn´t able to look at pictures with my diamond
I was thinking, why not post some of our favourite apps here, so that everyone could enjoy them.
You may post one or more, preferably not well known ones. Everyone knows about SPB Online, CorePlayer and Skype, but not about Slick, HTC mp3 trimmer, etc. If you don't have a rare one to contribute post your favourite, no matter how popular it is, maybe someone here will find it useful. Post anything, the important thing is to share .
As usual, no warez are allowed. Links to developers' sites are welcome, but I don't see the point, you can find them with google in seconds.
Here is mine:
Kinoma Play - media centre app that scans your phone for all your pics, vids and music and plays them in the app itself. Catalog of online radio stations and access to many sites from the app itself - YouTube, Flickr, Picasa and more . All in one media app.
can you upload mp3-trimmer please, or someone else who has this programm. i dont really have somethin new, think there are not that much usefull apps anymore which i dont know... but would need mp3trimme. cya
l like this game ---worldofwarcraft

Well, why didn't you share one of those many apps tha you know of? That's the point of this thread . Just google the trimmer, but be sure to get the VGA version. The other one is too small.
I like how 100+ people have checked out the thread and didn't post anything, probably thinking "why is no one posting anything?" while NOT contributing themselves lol.
And you, yes YOU, will you post something after you read this, or will you choose not to be part of the community?
Here is another one to keep things rolling:
pPod - it's an iPod mp3 player. Same skin as the iPod classics. All the functions work, including the touchscreen scrollwheel and the backlight. Fully functional iPod for your WinMo ROFL .
WKTask - maybe this is well known to y'all, but it's an awesome task manager that tiles your running apps in the top menu bar so you can see them and open them or kill them, basically like XP or Vista.

3 - I didn't see you contributing to the thread, thus rendering your own post useless and hateful....

Lol, it turns out I have had those Facebook and Twitter "widgets" all the time (I haven't used the app in a long time ).They work perfectly. Unfortunatelly I use neither of those services on a regular basis...
I suggest Worldcard Mobile. It is a helpful app for businessman.

G-Alarm (Alarm manager - Not free anymore but well worth the money)
G-Profiles (Free Profile Manager)
FingerMenu/Finger Message (Free Enlarged finger friendly menus)
HomeScreen++ (Free Today screen system info/ power consumption etc)
Flix (Free Download cinema/current film information based on typed location or gps)
GPSToday (Free GPS location application based around Google maps with low power consumption)
Microsoft Recite (Free Voice notes application that you can search by voice!)
SPB Backup (Backup util thats saved my bacon quite a few times!)
(p.s. Really liked WKTask but it always drained my battery fast)
Nice to see people sharing . A lot of soft to try, but that's good! Post as much as you want people. The more, the better hehe.
Here is another one from me:
W.M.D. (Web Video Downloader) - Amazing soft that lets you download ANY video from YouTube and other video sites (including 18+ ones).
No apps or games but something I find usefull on SE phones and directed at those users who might not be aware of it: to mute incoming call ringtone, click volume rocker up once and to cancell incoming call just double click.
Hello,
it´s my first post I´m also looking everytime for new stuff for my x1. some good apps which i use are SpeeedReader (based on googlereader), nimbuzz (chatclient) and to blogging i use shozu.
Sorry for my english, it´s not the best
