Picture syncing in WMP 11 - HD2 General

Hi everyone. Used this great resource fo a while now but finally got something to post:
Had my sim free HD2 for 1 week now and loving it. The only big gripe I have is when syncing my HD2 with WMP 11 on Windows 7. If I tick the automatically reduce quality setting int eh sync setting the pictures are very small 240x? or ther abouts. Is there a reg hack for WMP that will allow me to compress them to say 1024 or 800x? Thanks for the heads up if any

Best img editor for PPC?

I just made some pics with my S110 and they are not that bad when photoshoped a little. So I'm searching something for my device that can do
- resize
- brightness
- contrast
- gamma
- levels
- noise reduction
ATM I use Imageer, is there a better one? I'm missing the noise reduction in Imageer and the pics are pretty noisy so that would be welcome to edit them a little and bring em down to 640x480 before sending by email.

Pocket Artist 3
Wow, first time I hear of that software. I'll check that out asap. Thanks again.
By the way, does this tool work on magicians? The office forum has posts indication it does not: http://www.conduits.com/community/forum_posts.asp?TID=406&PN=1
it should work on Magician,but anyway try the second option....it's a software called "Idruna Photogenics"...
RAGO :lol:
I know photogenics but its extremely old and has not been updated in a few years while the newest version from pocket artist is from this september. Not sure how good photogenics still is.

That's about v3.1. I have v3.0 and it works perfectly so. Check out version 3. Its really Photoshop in a portable form.
I use Pocket Artist 3.1 on my JAM with no problems. I do not associate any file types with it though, that may be an issue.
Tried the new one (version 3.11) yet? That one just came out a few days ago.
By the way, I have Imageer installed atm and if Pocket Artist is good I gonne remove that one. BUT Imageer is the viewer for img files atm and I'd like Pocket Artist to stay out (read that it is a little slow) as a viewer. How do I switch the file types back to album or the included viewer?
Edit: Tried Pocket Artist 3.11 and boy am I impressed. This is THE most powerful img tool for ppc. I'm off to buy that at once. Thanks again for that tip!!! Its not that good as a viewer (the first start is kinda slow) but HTC Album fills in nicely here. This is really the "Photoshop" for PDA.
You can also modify the registry to enable the "Editor" utility for the built-in Album program. It will allow you to resize, crop, change gamma, brightness, hue and contrast without installing any additional programs. It does not support layers of course!
Registry Modification as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Album/Disable Editor: set it to 0
That is nice to know for sure. Thanks for that.
I was searching for an editor that has one important function/filter: reduce grain or reduce noise. And Pocket Artist is the only that offers that filter. Thing is if I take some pics with the cam at xl res and do some level correction, contrast enhancements and grain reduce and then finally resize them to 640x480 they look pretty good for emails. Without the grain/noise reduce they dont look too good at all so that filter is more important than anything else to me when I want to send pics away by email.
I dont need the most function out of Pocket Artist, I only need 4 or 5 after all but the noise reduction is very very important to me and I've not seen a PPC implementation of it besides Pocket Artist. And ancient img editor called Photogenics had that too but the latest version is from 2001 and that is bejond good and evil so Pocket Artist is basically the only choice. Besides the workflow is pretty similar to Photoshop, the filter options for level correction etc. work very much like Photoshop. So if you know how to get things done with Photoshop Pocket Artist is the best there is.

Saved photos on Storage Card

As I now have the storage card as the default for saving pictures taken with the camera they no longer are included in the slide show which comes on if the mini is plugged into power (like a screensaver).
:?: Is there a way to have this pics as the slide show...
btw. Each time a picture is taken on a new day a new folder is created, is it possible to have them all saved in the one folder i.e "My Documents > My Pictures"?
Cheers all for any thoughts.

Hi marto_martin,
Don't know which rom & camera you're using, but the camera in rom 1.12 and newer supports your wish in saving pics & videos in my_pictures & my_videos without subfolders per day.Haven't found or looked for a screensaver when cradled solution.
Regards, M
Thanks oltp,
unfortunately perhaps I just a liitle more confused now :shock: my device details are all the same as yours except ExtROM version is 1.12.920 WWE.
Under camera options the "save to:" is set to storage card but no options of going any further with the directory.
Is there another tools/options section I should be looking at?
cheers,
marto
I've got camera verson 2.70 build 21026. And it works fine with saving to sd without giving in sub-folders. Indeed very strange behavior when you're on same versions as I.
Regards, M
arh well looks like more toying about thats all
cheers.
I think there is a screensaver software called Dockware (not sure) that will show your chosen pictures in slides when your PPC is docked
Hi dinoalbert,
Sounds plausible, I'll see if I can find it.
A personalized clock and calendar for your Pocket PC! Put your Pocket PC to work when it's sitting in its cradle! DockWare gives you a desk clock and calendar with your own pictures as the background, and is Windows Mobile 5.0 ready.
Plus, DockWare Pro lets you add password protection to block casual intruders whenever DockWare is running. It can even set off an alarm when your Pocket PC is removed from it's cradle. Protect your Pocket PC -- and your info -- when you're away from your desk!
Use our images or add your own pictures for DockWare to display.
Found it at Handango, first or second hit in google.
Thank a lot,
M
Well oltp not sure what I did but the camera is saving correctly now
Btw cheers guys for the details on Dockware, will check it out.

Thanks to everyone on this site!

Hello! Me and a friend of mine just purchased the tmobile wings....i upgraded from the dash and him from the horrible SDA....well so far this is what we have done.
HTC Homescreen plugin + homescreen edit
Slide to UL (AC)
Iphone Window Theme
HTC Audiomanager
P Browser
TCPMP + Flash Video Software that allows utube among other sites -=)
Changed sliding keyboard sounds
Vtap (also allows utube, but tcpmp is the shat)
PSShtuXP
Icontacts
Pocket CM ( I don't have this anymore)
Overclocked to 247MHZ (not really sure what overclocking is, but hey most of you on here have done it, so why not)
We have both kept WM6 because it seems like Touch Flo still has editing, and i am attached to the microsoft voice sync program.
So all in all just making myself known on the forum, thanks again for turning my wing not only into a greater phone but now I want to call this isht a Tmobile Jet Wing.
I still don't understand some terms, don't know what flashing is, and wanted to know what other programs we could add to make our device function even better.
Is there a way to upgrade device storage? It seems to be my only concern. Thanks again.
Batman

Awesome. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask ... but please be sure to look through the forums first in order to answer most of your questions.
Flashing is installing a new operating system on your phone ... so think of it like taking Windows XP off of your computer, and installing Windows VISTA on your computer.
You should run the Quick Page Pool changer to get more device storage
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324955
Cool, i try to read as much info as possible before posting...so yeah ive read the newb's guide and all the links within...thanks i will try to pagepool again...lastime didn't work...but ill try hopefully this is a better file.
directions are sort of...or reall fuzzy for installation..so i am really confused...any other helpful links on this?
all you have to do ....
-connect your phone via activesync
-copy the EnableRapi.cab file over to your phone
-thru your phone's file explorer, find the EnableRap.cab file, and run it.
-SOFT RESET
-connect your phone to activesync again, and run the batch file for the pagepool size you want to have (4, 6, 8, etc...)
-Reset again
and voila, you should have the new pagepool settings now.
think i did it lol.....how much space should i have?

11.6 MB free RAM after page pool fix??? that's way too low buddy. which page pool setting are u using? 4,6,or 8? but then again, is that on idle, or did you were running some other application on the background?
I remembered when i first found out about the pagepool fix, I was able to get 21 MB free ram on start up and running around 18-19 on idle. (i was running the 6 MB pool setup)
Now, i flashed my wing with Touch IT ROM v2.3 and i get 25 MB free RAM at start up and 20-22 on idle.
as I wrote on there .. those the STOCK memory settings ... meaning from a factory wing.
So obviously, you look at the stock settings, and compare them to the settings you see after running the pagepool app.

Contacts pics - TD2 vs. Outlook 2007

Hi all,
I noticed that if I add a pic to a contact in Outlook 2007 I get a failry low res image on the TD2. However, if I add an image directly on the TD2 I get a fantastic resolution image on the TD2 which also seems to transfer to Outlook.
So, for the best quality pics use the TD2 it seems. However, this is annoying as all my images are on my PC. Is there a way to bump the quality in Outlook to the same as the TD2 - it can obviously handle it as it shows the images from the TD2 entered contacts great.
Ideas???
R
Had the same problem on my TD1, but haven't found a solution yet. I'm looking into it and will let you know if I find a solution.
EDIT: Seems like this is a Outlook problem..... http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP100137791033.aspx
is it not resolved yet??
note: it is not low quality. That's the problem, it's high quality and the phone tries to show everything and pixels go one over the other.
I just think so, but as a reason, I owned a SE K750i and copied a 2MB photo on it. When I tried to look at it, it would be pixelite and when zoomed, it looked okay.
Just a guess . And i know Topaz is no SE, but still ...
The solution is to import the pictures on the phone and not in Outlook and also not update the photo's in Outlook. Always from the device. Its an Microsoft Outlook issue since ever.
When you reinstall your phone and sync it you get also the good pictures, but not when you edit the contact picture in outlook
yes. That is the solution
Me too discover the problem adding the contact picture directly in Outlook.
So I did different test and, of course, it's better add pictures directly from the TF3d contact manager.
But, if the picture is too big, you get a selection square box for choose the face area, and many times the face is still bigger the area.
So I found that, at least for me, the best way is to edit the pictures on the PC to get a final jpeg file of 266x266 pixel to be choosen in TF3d contact manager.
Just use the zoom scroller to resize the box
R
dho!
I tried to resize the square box directly on the corner and on the edge....
And the solution is so simple...the ZoomBar !!
Thanks !
P.S. I tried, the box doesn't change the size, it is the image that zoom so you can center the contact's face !
It's so much simple than my way.
I usually use high quality crops of 250x250p and both Outlook and Manila display them pretty well.
The problem is with resizing mechanisms and their side effects. If you provide high quality image, then you minimize resizing impacts.

Windows Media Player on your desktop/laptop will do it, but you have to sync using WMP as well for them to transfer across properly as far as I remember. Haven't bothered with album art for a while myself.
Just update the WMP library, select the files you want album art for and right click. Then select to update the track info (or words to that effect). It will go online and update your track tags so they display properly as well, but they have to be reasonably well named in the first place for the best accuracy. The best format is "{Track Number} - {Artist} - {Title}".
Eg. "01 - Eminem - Dr.West"

Best way I've found so far!
New Manila Sense from Leo has this option in music tab.
see thats exactly what im looking for but as a standalone app. b/c i had the newer build 2.5 installed but the messaging was soo slow it was unusable and there were a couple other bugs that i couldnt deal with on a day to day basis.. running around soft resetting here and there, its just not productive.. ill wait for the "sense ui" to be officially released for wm. however until then ide love to have this kind of app but in manilla 2.1 . on the other hand im having issues with my computer with all my music on it .. there is music on my microsd that is not on he computer and the computer is having issues .. afriad if i send the phones music to the computer it might get stuck as with my external hdd and corrupt both ..
