What does Google/android have against them?
Even Microsoft doesn't support the gif format anymore...
Any way to enable this feature

Is it possible to disable the video mode in the XDA2.
We use the software provided on the XDA2 called 'Camera for Pocket PC version 2.01' but this allows the user to take video as well as pictures.
For my application i would like to disable this feature and only let the users take pictures.
Does anyone know if there is an application or registry setting that i can change to do this or any other ideas.
Thanks for your help
camera.exe parameters
I have read that it is possible to pass parameters to the camera.exe so that it starts with different behaviour.
The photo contacts application does not allow video input!!!
Does anyone have any further information or a list of parameters.
This would be of great help.
Thanks again.

I haven't tried this, but maybe you can get into the Registry and delete the keys to the Video formats and such?
Search the registry for values like Motion-JPEG AVI, MPEG-4 and H.263
Maybe it could work, alas with an error when someone tries to capture video... :wink:
Let us know if you find a better solution...

I have been unable to find these video formats in the registry so im unable to remove them. Any other ideas?
Does anyone have an e-mail address for IA Style (or HTC) technical support?
Thanks
Have you tried to remove the following key?
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\P2
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\P3
Just make sure you backup your device before you change it.
On my device i dont have theses registry keys available so im unable to remove them. I have tried removing the following key but the video camera still work perfectly.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\IA Style\AppDefSettings
Any other suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks for your help

Now that bal666's awesome utility gives us the ability to decrypt/encrypt the NBF file, we can view and/or extract the ROM files that are normally not available to us otherwise.
One big hoopla that Windows Mobile 5.0 was supposed to have was the native ability to access the camera through their APIs, so that third-party developers could create applications without having to deal with each and every different type of camera technology in different Pocket PC and Smartphone devices.
Of course, it's apparent that HTC has still used their own software and drivers and has not given access to anyone outside of HTC. Not like Microsoft had their own Camera application (I don't know if there ever was one, but there isn't a Microsoft one on the Universal).
Developers such as ComVu with their neat PocketCaster software, are having such a difficult time making a single Windows Mobile 5.0-ready application, and have resorted to making different versions for different devices.
So... where am I going with this? Simple. Let's dump out the contents of the NK.NBF file and see if we can make our own applications with the APIs and drivers that HTC has embedded in the ROM.
I, for one, am looking forward to a internet-based videoconferencing application, much like Microsoft Portrait. Skype also announced video calls on PCs with the new version 2.0. Perhaps someone could send them some code to get video capability on the Universal?
That front-facing camera is beckoning to be used...
On a sidenote, PPL: Pocket Programming Language, allows you to easily create applications (self-contained EXE files, as a matter of fact), and also allows direct access to DLLs and APIs...
Put these two concepts together, and you can see the potential.
Create an application to...
... toggle the camera flashlight.
... do internet videoconferencing.
... do face recognition security.
Create your own camera app, phone app, game using images from the camera, etc. etc.
Another thing, though I'm not sure, but perhaps it's possible to rebuild your own ROM... remove Voice Speed Dial? Embed Voice Command, Resco Explorer, remove stupid applications or unused portions? etc. etc.
What does anyone else think about this?
BtT,
This sounds great, even having only a magician which will likely not being supported in projects like this. I still want to create my own rom with at least all the patches installed in rom. Camera & Album are taking at least 1Mb from my precious storage & apps like resco explorer are indeed must haves.
So I'm looking rorward to progress & tips in this thread & when I succeed with simple magician rom cooking I'll let you know. Don't expect any new camera apps from me, no time & no development for anymore .

I just realized that Windows Mobile 5 SDK contains a "common camera API" which is likely the method that third-party developers will take (or have taken) to access the camera. I have emailed Skype to see if their new 2.0 desktop version that has Video Calling can be somehow implemented on the Pocket PC, now that it is technically feasible.
I'm surprised the guys behind Microsoft Portrait haven't jumped on this yet.
Did somebody manage to install gif picture as background.
Why not convert it to JPG/BMP?
Because of animation...
Like on Samsung mobiles
Never seen animated backgroud on PPC (not thought it my me useful). You can only use external application to make it work as a screensaver, or maybe somebody made a new today-like application that can do it? You need to google it out.

there are options
After the first upgrade, I lost all of the notes I had on OneNote, and when I tried to change default saving location, I couldn't find any option for that. I've been told that the only way to do this is to install OneNote on the memory card, meaning that I have to uninstall it first. So I'm wondering if someone knows how I can do that? I can't find OneNote in "Remove programs" in Settings, and don't know any other way to remove programs (other that to just delete random files with the same name in the Windows file).. I would also appreciate an answer for how I can install the program again (its not on the CD you get with the phone)? Thanks for any help..
Btw, some other guy told me that it is possible to do it by editing the Registry on the mobile, but he didn't know exactly how to do it. Anyone who knows?
Hello, guys and girls haha...
Somebody know how to resize system application from another phone (like resizing widget app from SE x10)?? Somebody know how to do this?
And somebody know an app for resizing multiple images? hehe..
Thanks because helping me.
1. you can't resize app (dimensions) unless you are a developer and have the source code !
2. You can resize multiple images using either adobe photoshop cs5 extended bath mode or
ACD See there are many freeware utilities like :
