HTC Magician Camera Profile::Testers needed

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you might give me some suggestion and comments about the application i just developed, well its my first ever developed app for smart device so i hope u don't mind. For HTC magicians only i guess unless other models have the same registry structure for the camera settings.
Features
-Save profiles
This application allows you to save settings and name it as profiles, thanks to kta and deuxani for providing some configs which i made as preset in the meantime.
-More camera settings
-and some more...
Just try it out
Known issues:
-Profile has no immediate effect
If any of u guys know how to make immediate effect after modifying registry please let me know, afaik i had to do a soft boot or just click on "reset" on the camera settings.
-Error if click 'Apply' on empty profile
Well, haven't put any exceptions handlers just yet, need to know more bugs first
Need comments about ease of use and user interface also bugs if u happen to find any. I try to make it as simple as i can. Thanks all.

Great!
Just installed it! Works fine!
Excellent, maybe a little addon after you select a profile directy start the camera ( this is the reason you start it )
Keep up the good work!

First Thanks on this Idea!!
Will test further and report back.

What do i wrong ? It doenst do anything for me except show me the frame rate ... :?

Thats what i meant by "immediate effect" which i haven't figure out yet, you must go to the camera settings and adjust and click on "reset" because I was able to change the registry for both settings (ie. Contrast and Contrast_User) but i think the camera needs something so it can "refreash" and get the values from the registry which also does on the ambience. I hope someone can figure this out..

great job adit
if you are looking for more advice about developing this plug-in.. I suggest to post this topic in the Development and Hacking forum.
keep up the good work :wink:

Nice job, and its working.

I've tried this app and i have a problem:
in the registry i have 2 values for each parameter (for example brightness and brightness user)
The software change the non user value but if i softreset my Magician user's values becomes default. I must open configuration and reset values and they becomes like the non user values.
Is there another solution?
I've also tryed to delete user keys but after a SR they are again.
Sorry for my english

The application changes both default and user (default ie brightness, and user ie brightness_user). I did this to make sure that even after a soft reset since the effect does not change immediately, the values are not changed. If you find it inconvenient, i'll rebuild the application so it changes only the xxx_user (ie xxx=brightness)? For the time being, if you want to reset the settings to the original state change all values in the non user to '5'.

HTC Wizard Backlight Bug Fixed!

I just got the HTC Wizard (Qtek 9100), and finally fixed the backlight bug.
This is the bug that turns off your backlight every time you go into Standby Mode. Here is the fix.
Use a Registry Editor and go to...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
You should see a bunch of DWORD values. Look for the following:
ExtOnOff
OnOff
If you have this bug, they will both be set to 0 by default. Change these values to the preferred backlight setting of your choice, 0-4, 0 being off and 4 being brightest.
Now soft-reset your device.
If you've done this correctly, the bug should be SQUASHED and you should no longer have any backlight problems after standby.
If you recently hard-reset your device, you might not see those DWORD values and might have to create them on your own. I haven't studied it much, but it looks like those values are created on the first time you change your backlight settings.
You might also have to change these values the next time you feel like changing your brightness settings.
For Registry Editors, I prefer Mobile Registry Editor from...
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
Now enjoy your HTC Wizard as you were meant to. I know I will.

Brightness Changes After Soft Reset

Maybe I missed the fix under the Wiki section or maybe nobody has complained, but I want the screen brightness to resume the level that I set it at, after a soft reset.
Can anybody help with a registry tweak or an idea? Thanks

[Q] Backlight setting help

I think this is a problem specific to the HD2 - basically, when i leave the phone on the auto backlight setting, it is too bright and therefore draining the battery. of course, setting it manually is a pain and it needs changing as conditions change etc.
What i am wonder is if there is any way of changing the auto so that it is consistently less bright? I have had a dig through the regedit but not really sure what i am looking for or doing!
I was guessing that there was a value that would be assigned to the brightness above the ambient brightness (from the light sensor) - can anyone enlighten me further?
Many thanks (and also for all those other posts i have used to help me make my phone exactly as i like it... CHT, BsB, Scilor etc!)

try Lumos.

nice. almost does too much! but good bit of software thus far. now to do some benchmarking... if only the sun would shine!

Controlling Backlight Settings
I took a different approach to resolve my problem -- keeping auto backlight turned off, but easily changing the backlight settings when I needed to change them. I created a shortcut called Backlight.lnk (that's a lowercase "L", not an "I" I discovered). I used a text editor and put in this line:
12#Powerexe.exe 2 - backlight tab
I saved it with the name Backlight.lnk and copied it to my Start/Programs folder using File Explorer. I moved the shortcut to the top of the Start menu where I can get to it quickly. I just tap Start and the shortcut icon and I am at the Backlight screen where I can quickly change the backlight level or the timeout settings. This saves a few taps compared with going in through the Settings screen.
I had tried Lumos and another program I found on the MS Marketplace, but both caused other problems for me.
PS: I found the line above in a posting at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645916
It's an excellent tutorial on creating all kinds of shortcuts.

Try MVBKLight.
Very handy popup (plus a usefull torch).
I have both Auto and Manual controls. With links I immediately switch between sensor and the MVBKLight slider.

Try searching for autobacklight toggle. Basically, its an icon which when pressed on main screen enables disables autobacklight. So much better than lumos.

Auto brightness code

Hi Devs
I need some help to set my own auto brightness values. Attached is the framework can someone please help me find the code for auto brightness.
The frame work I am using can be found at the below link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17206474/framework-res.apk
Regards,

lol so many views and no reply
no one know what should I do??? :s

I am also interested in this field.
I would start with a simple cronjob that reads brightness.
Do you know, where to read it?
background:
For the Motorola's there is some magic setting, boosting the backlight.
Would like to set it, if brightness is over a certain threshold and set back if it is below another level. Sounds easy ...
