Hermes front VideoCAM- Can you use without videocall or not?

Hi guys,
Since my Universal is dead I've just brought an HTC Tytn.
There is any way to access the front videocam? In Universal you just need to go to camera app and choose the front camera, where you can take pictures and make videos.
In Hermes camera app you can only access the 2.0mpx cam... I've already installed Coolcamera 1.5b and I still can't choose the front VGA videocam.
Any suggestions?
Tks
Phelipe
PS. No 3G networks available in Brazil, so no videocalls yet...

I had same problem, but some folks have said coolcamera can access front camera - maybe someone can let us know how it's done with coolcamera?
Mike

yup coolcamera let's you access it, you just switch from main to frontcam, you can take pics and all using it.
photo / settings / sensor / front

If you go into settings there is a setting called "Sensor" ... you need to change that from 'Main' to 'Front' and then it will capture from the front camera.
Hope this helps

Great! Thanks again folks...

hi
it's possible access to front camera without use coolcamera?
thx

I can use the front camera now with coolcamera but the screen is 90 rotated to the right. There is no way which I could correct this even if I change the rotation setting. Can someone help, please?

Yeah. I get that too.
Also, Probably me being dense, I can't seem to get the web cam to actually work on my pc.
I can set the IP address in the pda to that of my PC. The port is 2047 on both devices, but nothing seems to appear.
What am I doing wrong?

Difficult to say. Presume ypu have used d-pad or jog wheel on device to select webcam mode. Presume you have started the coolcam software on your PC and a coolcam window (which is expandable) has opened on your screen with instructions as to the next steps to take. And finally that your active sync connection is live. Sometimes I get the window on PC coming up blank/black in which case I close PC application and restart it.
The little 90 symbol on screen should rotate image. If not and restarting does not make it work, I think I'd reload the software.

On CoolCamera forums support said that the rotaton issue is a bug they're aware of and will fix later. Nothing you can do for now.

i-nigma reader on Mogul

I successfully installed the i-nigma reader on my Mogul and it SEEMS to work but after opening the camera and snapping the pic, nothing comes from it. Has anyone got the reader to work on their Mogul?
i-nigma.com if you are wondering what I'm talking about

I was playing with a business card OCR program and that didn't work with my Mogul because the camera can't focus well enough on something that close. The issue you're seeing is probably the same...
Anyone know if its possible to make the clarity of "macro focus" pictures better?

Since the phone is 2mpix, you're probably better off holding it far away and using the digital zoom to enlarge the area to scan. If the lens can focus, 2mpix is more than enough to zoom in on just the card before losing clarity.

The i-nigma should work on your Mogul

Hi dragon_76
I'm part of the developing group of 3GVision, who develop the i-nigma. On Sep 07 the i-nigma application didn't work on windows Mobile 6 devices. From Oct 07, we started support WM6. Please go to www.i-nigma.com and install the new version, it should work now. Please feel free to email me impression.
Thanks

No need to snap with the i-nigma
The i-nigma work as scanner, there is no need to snap anything, just put the barcode in front of the camera and it will scanned automatically

i installed i-nigma on my wm6 t-mobile vario II.
It works fine, but the camera is flipped making it difficult to aim, (ie left is right and right is left, when in landscape. In portrait the image is upside down and up is down and down is up)
Anyone got this? and also, is there anythnig else on the site, all i get is the install link (when browsing via pda, work blocks the site via pc) could do with a help section, or FAQ.
Regards

What he said, I've had it on my phone for well over a month and it works fine without any problems. You don't have to take a picture of anything, it read the bar code as soon as it is in view.

It's a version issue. I had 1.26 installed, from my 6700 switch, but it was always buggy, often needing multiple soft resets, so installed v1.40, but have the same issue as the first post.

yup, 1.26 works on my mogul 2.17rom.

I Installed I-nigma on my mogul. Interesting program, nice to have. scans and decodes really quick. however i had the same "backward" issue. But u can fix it by editing the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3GVisionInigma\i-nigma\option
"PreviewDirection_31" = 0
change 0 to 2
it will fix the backwards camera. However it won't fix the landscape issue cuz the program wasn't design to operate in landscape mode, the camera preview won't rotate.
It's really worth keeping now.

i wouldn't second this. adding a contact with quickmark resulted in a "," behind the name and a "h" behind the number.
i-nigma does add the contact on a right way.

Re: use back camera
i am using o2 flame, can i-nigma support back camera ?

Idea for iphone stsyle of iPhoto

We can scroll through your photo list by sliding your finger along the picture by full screen. If anyone can make it. It's so great.
I see "icontact" & iMedia Player" is the great job of PPC. We have enough experience to do it. I think the "iPhoto" is not the problem.
Hope it will some soon.

It may so hard for PPC because PPC can't make 2 fingers actions at the same time

get Picsel browser and select your jpg's to open with this program, its pretty close to the iphone interface.

no need for 2 finger actions. you'll do them separate... bottom up change pic, sideways zoom in...
it's being used on the touch flow cube...
as for picsel browser.... looks very nice... ill try it and report!

Hey Guys, Byka is working on a PictureViewer.

I use this one on my touch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323674&highlight=picture
Not sure if it will works with other PPC's but I really like it.

I started writing something exactly like you're describing, but I haven't finished it. I've been busy trying to finish up this job and find a new job and haven't had as much free time for programming. I'll do a little more work on it when I get a chance and see what you guys think.

picsel is ultra slow at loading...
bika's still in dev... though it looks awesome!
pictureviewer 1.6 didn't work for me... I'm guessing there's a problem in the cfnet version?

I just tested in WM5. It works. But I don't like the design.
Byka's PictureViewer is good design. I have some idea.
1) In photo list mode, we can scroll (left or right) pictures in the list one by one.
2) Double click the photo to enlarge the photo to full screen.
3) In full screen mode, have a zoom & move function.
4) double click the screen to back to photo list mode.
Base on our current technology, it should not be hard to do. I am shameful that I don't know the programming so much.
SIMPLE IS THE BEST

simple, yet works, but still early in development. it does most of what you ask, except to zoom, you tap the screen.

HTC Album OEM version

An OEM version of the new HTC album (extracted from the Touch dual) has been published on the thread below (post #3).
By the sounds of it they haven't got it working, but there is certainly some interest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339587

that's good, but it doesn't work.

Yeah, it didn't work for me, either, on my TyTN II. But I'd love to have it. It's the only thing I feel is missing from my device (the built-in one is kludgey to use).

They have got it to work, but only in a cooked rom. I hope someone can build this into a cab!!!

what is this for? any screenshots?

I saw a .cab for this one around some forums working for the wizard. does it work for the prophet? is it the same you have gollum?

Working fine for me on my Touch.

doesnt work on my (beloved) wizard
it cant start up, i just click on the exe file after the instalation then there is the waiting cursor for like 3 seconds and after that...well nothing

Both versions work on my TyTN II... kinda.
The flick-advance and finger-rotate work most of the time, but the program refuses to do the circle-zoom, putting up a little "No zoom!" icon (for a picture that's not zoomed in to 100%).
Sometimes the program gets stuck in a mode where trying to move the picture just makes it bounce off the edges of the screen. And a little box, much like the zoom rectangle in the native Pictures & Videos application, only empty, appears in the corner. At this point, it's difficult to know what to do with the program, since it's taken over the screen.
So it's neat, but as something I'd start in order to show people my pictures, I give it a miss. There's nothing worse than showing people your flash gear only to end up fighting with it and apologising instead.

Seems to work fine. But when I enter the settings dialog, I can't seem to do anything there. But who cares? I don't need any settings. Circle zooming and rotating works for me. Nice piece of software.

It's supposed to start in landscape mode (I think), same way as the camera view.

Everything you have described above is 100% intended behavior for this app.
Circle Zoom: Try going in the opposite direction you tried. Amazing. (Clockwise : zoom in. Counter-Clockwise: zoom out.)
Little Box Top Left: This mode is entered by hold your finger down in the app for around 1 second. At this point you can pan the picture by dragging. You have to stop touching the screen until the little white box goes away to get back to the mode where you can flick-scroll. This mode is really only useful when you're zoomed in; the little white box gives you a reference to which part of the picture you are currently zoomed in to.
This app works great.

Right, and half circle left rotates it one way and half circle right rotates it the other, works great on my mogul, HTC Album for the win!

I am also having problems with Juv's version (posted earlier in this thread) on my Touch. Starts landscape, cant see menu and controls bounce between pictures.
There is another cabed version 3 posts down that works alot better for me. You might try it if you are having issues with the first Juv version!!

Look for files that have 04 in the name on your mobile device. Read the other 2 digit 04xx. Copy HTCAlbum.exe.0409.mui in \Windows dir on the mobile device into a new files called HTCAlbum.exe.04xx.mui. Now u can see menu in english.
Thanks to Itje 4 explanation of country code in MUI.

Work like a charm with just one minor bug on my Kaiser; when the keyboard is slid out the picture is up-side-down. But that's like that with many apps that were ported from other roms. Hell, even for some of the applications with the stock rom.
Still I like it, make my TyTN II a litte better again.
Cheers,
Cacti

bar code scanner

My friend just got one of those G1's the phone itself is mildly impressive (not as much as the mogul imho) and Android is pretty cool. But he has this app that allows you to scan barcodes using the build in camera and it tells prices for that item at like 30 different stores. I was wondering if there is anything like that for WinMO that works on 6.1 for the titan 6800?

Give this one a try
http://fastpricecheck.com/
oops, just noticed i cant check via photo of code....
and the above app does show google ads as well as results. oh well.

Cool program. Just installed and does not seem that you can use the camera. can enter the upc or enter description of product you are looking for. can use without setting up account.

Good question. I haven't put it on my phone yet. I probably won't get around to it until at least next week. I'll let you know, if someone else doesn't first.
