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

Small application for image cropping inc. preset for SCLPC++ contact pix -Cropper 1.0

This is a small application codded in VB.NET for cropping contact photos by selecting the desired part of the photo. I've added special preset for SCLCP++ contact photos (the photos are cropped and resized 72x75).
Features:
- Open, save and crop PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP files
- Read contact photos form PocketOutlook
- Probably lot of bugs
A have attached 2 installers:
- Clean install no source included
- Full install vb.net sources are installed along application in "Source" folder
for other .net developers:
I have made a little .net class wrapper for gsGetFile.dll so if you want to use it or modify it please do so. The wrapper saves the last open and save folder in the registry so there's no need to do It in your code... the paths saved are per application
Developers please do not curse me for the more-than-not-optimal coding.. this is one of the first .net applications I've coded... and users please report the bugs you find..
Some known bugs:
- Not adequate behavior when no selection is made.
- When you open a file or get a contact picture the view mode is reset
- Selections from right to left mirror the selection
**************** Version 1.01 UPDATE
ChangeLog:
- Added crude support for SmartPhone (no touchscreen.. small dot for pointer)
- Renamed "Custom" preset to "Free"
- Added support for custom sized crops - new preset "Custom"
- Added "Settings" dialog for choosing the default OpenFile Dialog
- Removed sources from the installer (only in separate archive)
Some screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*** I hate the choose image dialog so I use the gsGetFile.dll's one.. maybe I will add a setting to switch the default dialog box.

Cool, prog! I've been exporting my pics to GIMP, editing them.. and then sending back to phone and its a pain! good job!
Cheers

Frickin awesome man..
I have been waiting for something like this. Can't wait to get home and try. well done!!!!
You should rename your files to show 1.0 version so that way when you update it we will know we are downloading the new one..Just an idea..

Awesome! I'll be using this a lot as loading up photoshop or GIMP is annoying!

I guess I'm a bit lazy for not trying it but does it work on WM Standard (non touchscreen) aswell??
Seems like a very nice app!!!

Very nice application.
Thank you

Nice work.

Just one slight problem... VS 2008 is refusing to convert the source code ... I'll tweak the settings and see what happens.

I've just updated the version to 1.01 (crude pseudo cursor). It will be nice if someone test it on SmartPhone...

this app seems exactly what I've been looking for, thx for the effort! let the contact-pics roll!

Great Idea and great application.

wonderful. thank you.

LedBanner for wm5

hy there,
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dO_OWpp8vT8&feature=related
is it possible to make it work on wm5?

possible - yes
Whats the point of this application?

That's actually a pretty cool idea.
Wonder if something could be made where you wave the phone in the air and a message is displayed like you had on that Nokia phone or those message clocks.

the point is that if you are in a place where is too much noise (disco) or no possibility to hear one another (train station, two different cars etc), you can transmit messages very easy. the display of a pda is wide enough to be observed at long distance. a flash lite program for this app would be excelent.

Great idea for WM application! "Programable" (text and color) led banner. For me very usefull (on lesson) and cool looks...

Seems to me like a big waste, that's why it's avail on the i****e, nothing much more it's good for, except a LED Banner. If anything, a today plugin with this would be cool.

I only know a piece of software that creates LED gif animation. Like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would think it's not that difficult to program for WM. You just need to make font template or pixel matrix (the latter should save memory since each character is like 16x12LED = 16x12x2 bits) for a-z 0-9 A-Z .,'... then scale it up to screen size and let it scroll. Just that it may be hard for the more serious programmers to justify spending their time on this.

maybe a less serious programmer will do it, after all

How about creating the program to create LED gif images on the devices, to be used as backgrounds for S2U2.

Easiest way is to use flash

I can`t believe no one wants to make this up...half an hour for any decent programmer. wtf

How much do you pay?

yeah.. would be one awesome program

I won`t pay anything... sooner or later someone will do it just because he can.

LED Pov(persistance of Vision)
THIS would be much cooler.. someone should really do something of this..
its easy to make..
using a pixel font blink in a certain frequency waving your arm, due to persistance of view) we see the message writen in the air...

Well it's not that hard. Flash -> download a tutorialfile from the internet on how to make it. Adjust it to your wishes, save as flash 7 or flash lite 2.1.
But why won't you do it, when you want it?
If it's an easy way to program it, this would be an excellent first project for you to jump into.
Good luck!

it will be more nicer if its not flash program..well maybe likje .exe file

It only takes 1 click to open a flash file. It's fullscreen and you can make lnk files to it.
Flash is a programminglanguage, much like any other language. It has it's disadvantages, but when it comes to animation and graphics, like what is requested in this thread, it's superb! Easy antialiasing of all objects. Smooth animation.
It's possible to make an exe file run flash animations, but then you need some other programming languages to work it out, or you can use mortscript and make an .exe

[APP] Star Trek Phaser

Heya,
This is my first WM app, and the first time I've ever had to motivation to finish an application programming project! (I'm more the webby type usually). I hope I've posted this in the right place - I did have a good look around first!
The motivation behind it was that an official Phaser application came out for the iPhone, but it's more of a gamey type app. I wanted a 'phaser' application for my phone (XDA Ignito/HTC Touch Diamond) and there didn't seem to be one out there - so I figured it was time to have a go!
This is based on the Type2 hand phaser from Star Trek: The Next Generation and words on both my phone (WM6.1) and my old iPAQ 2790 (WM5). It seems to require the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 to run.
--
Known bug: the deployment CAB forces the device to install the application in the internal memory rather than the expansion card - otherwise the sounds don't work. I'm working on getting that sorted along with some additional features for version 2.
--
Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated by this humble n00b.

Nice idea, but two bugs atm:
* Doesn't play any sound (path is hardcoded?)
* switching from on -> off -> on the phaser lavel isn't saved
Wishes:
* +/- buttons needs some kind of repeat.
* some nicer gfx
* Output level should be redesigned
* fullscreen

No sound on my device (Blackstone) also being the app installed on main memory. Maybe you have harcoded the %ProgramFiles% path as well? Since I have a localized rom (\Programmi)

Works great on my Tilt. Sound is good, On/off switch does power it down, but no big deal, one would want any fatal accidents caused by accidently turning it on in disruptive mode.
Very nice useless app. Now that's all that you need is WM useless app store, like iPhone and you will be rich.

Nice one.
If you need a layout more "Federantionish" let me know.
---edit---
Found this on google, hope it helps:

Thanks for looking all
Sound bug: I tried putting in relative paths and even just everything in the same folder - but that didn't work at all on either of my devices. Not sure what I'm doing wrong there. I knew that hard-coding wasn't a good way to go, but I'm hoping to work out how to rectify it as I work on the other couple of app ideas I've got, plus version 2 of this.
The line which plays the sound currently looks like:
PlaySound(("/Program Files/ST Apps/sounds/Stunsnd.wav"), IntPtr.Zero, SND_FILENAME Or SND_SYNC)
When I just put everything in one folder, it looked more like:
PlaySound(("Stunsnd.wav"), IntPtr.Zero, SND_FILENAME Or SND_SYNC)
This would definately account for your problem bbonzz. I didn't think about localised ROMs - but of course! Will make sure to remember that. Definately won't be hard-coding paths from now on - I've learned my lesson
Power level drops when switched off 'bug': That was actually deliberate! Personally, I felt that it should reset when you switch it off and on again. However, I may be in the minority here, so I'll take that line out if people would prefer it to save the state.
Small additional thing I put in to help get from 'on' to max' in a hurry is - if you use the up and down buttons on your device, it'll 'jump' to the beginning/end of each level (stun, thermal, disrupt, explode/disrupt), meaning you can get to get to max power in 5 presses rather than 15
I might bind the left and right buttons to be straight to 1 and straight to 16 in version 2 for the same reason. It's nice to be able to get from one end to the other quickly.

Also - re: wishlists and suggestions - all noted and will be taken on board for the next version. Thanks

(Updated)(11-12)Create an Android Flip Clock in 30 Seconds

ATTN MODERATOR: If this is in the wrong thread, please relocate it. Thank you.
If you've worked on the Android Flip clock before then you know how much time is devoted to theming this bad boy. I've put together a nice "Action" that can be used in Adobe Photoshop.
This Action will do the following:
1) Mod the clock digit however you choose. You'll need to create the initial recorded action.
2) After you've created the initial recorded action, the "Actions" will go through 0-9, use your created action, save each digit's upper and bottom half using the correct dimensions on the flip clock.
3) It will also name the clock digits their correct name when opening the Fusion.apk (Based off of EVO & Thunderbolt) I'm not sure if this will carry over to other phones using the fusion.apk
All you'll need to do is rotate the clock digits upside down.
Adobe Photoshop Saved Actions
Change log:
11-12
*Added action to automatically cut and save the background image for the clock tabs. This way, you only have to create the background then run the action to export the two png's for the clock background.
*Includes actions posted on 11-06

*Started from Scratch by making the actions work from the root directory instead of my own personal directory which people were having problems replicating, including myself.lol.
*All PSD should be placed in C:\CLOCKMOD
*All PNG Output files should be placed in C:\CLOCKMOD\PNG_OUTPUT

At the request of another member, I've included a copy of the clock made with this "action." I've also included all the clocks I've designed so far. All I ask is that I be referenced if any of them are used in ROMS/Themes. Thanks.

This is a awesome tutorial, I can't believe nobody has posted in this thread. Excellent work raider, you have some of the best themeing threads around. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I've been trying to edit a flip clock for a bit now.

I'm a huge noob at this and i cant follow this at all.... can anyone give me easy instructions????

First of all thanks for your great work.
Could you please attach one of those clocks that you made this way?

Fantastic Job and excellent idea!

Is this for HTC Sense clock or not?

I'm confused on the whole sense thing. All I can tell you is it will work on the evo 3d clock, Thunderbolt and Evo. It was designed based on the clock in fusion.apk.
EDIT:
I'm uploading a bunch of clocks I made now. I don't mind if any themers or devs use them. All I ask if you reference me. Thanks

How do you install the clocks you've made? Thanks.

Any chance for support for those who can't afford photo shop and use Gimp?

Nice job man!

Thanks . Going to give this a shot right now.

would love to see these uploaded again i lost my set.
