DarkAngelFR picked up this project and has a working app up and running... check out his blog @ http://blog.idlezone.org/pages/HTC/DarkRuler
original thread (how it started)
....A couple days ago i stumbled accross an App for the iPhone called RulerPhone and i thought it would be a cool tool to have for the diamond. Since our diamonds screen isnt multitouch, the tool would have to do without it and the lost ease of navigation could be accomplished using additional onscreen buttons.
Here is a basic explanation of the tool. Lets say u need to measure the with of your bookcase but u dont have anything to measure it. well you could guess how wide it is, OR you take out your Diamond, place a creditcard in the case and take a picture of the bookcase from within DiamondRuler. Once the picture is taken, you align the creaditcard from the picture with the placeholder on your screen using the touchdisplay, the zoom buttons on the display and the NavWheel. Once u have it all aligned you lock the picture and now you can start measuring your bookcase. the diamond will calculate the distances for you.
Is there a developer out there willing to take on the task? Let me know via PM.
Here are some Mockups of the GUI.
reserved for later use (maybe)
awesome idea
wow what a program!it is evolutionary!!
Flattering
If anybody would like to contact me about RulerPhone (I'm the developer) or inquire about development hints, please feel free to do so via the email address at http://benkamens.com/rulerphone. I am more than willing to share.
If the final design is going to be so blatantly RulerPhone-esque (to put it nicely...), I would appreciate a simple reference and link back to RulerPhone as the originating idea for what may be DiamondRuler.
Awesome idea!
I hate all these amazing iphone applications, getting very jealous of the iphone...
Must remember iphone GPS is rubbish....Iphone cant run all my favourite WM applications....
i remeber there was a ruler application for the N95..it could measure the distance between you and the object, height, angle...
certainly an interesting application to have
Nice whiskey collection! Nice idea for an app
Great idea !!
Should be really funny
@kamens : do you encounter special problems for developing this (I mean hard picture analysis coding...) ? I may develop this kind of funny tool for "windows mobile" but afraid of getting in hard "card finding algorithme".....
See Ya
DarkAngel
PS: excuse my english
no programmer up for the task?
i would code it myself, but by programmingskills just suck

Don't worry.. as soon as someone creates this app the Diamond will become world renowned! And the best part.. this is impossible for the iPhone to perform

Hello,
I made a quick develpment just to have fun with my HTC...Looks to work but I have many small bugs and small things I want to add in...
I will post soon a beta of my app this app will allow you to measure anything that fit in your screen when making photo ^^
Anyone wants to test ?

Yes please
Looks like a great app i'm subscribing to this thread for sure
If you need a tester i'm happy to help.
this will be amazing
would like to test as well
Hello!
Beta Release is available, if you wants to test contact me by private message.
Will post the app in about a week if not many bugs found!
Thanx to testers and to fluid888 for the idea, to Kamens for its iPhone apps (thanx to a friend here for showing this to me "live", really impressive), to anyone in the beta, to the GSensor SDK Creator, .....
Ok I can see some potential for this if it can be calibrated to any accuracy. But how would parallax errors be dealt with and also spherical aberration could cause problems.
Interesting "bookcase" you have there fluid888, I think I might have read one or two of them myself!
lol
Sorry but I didn't implement any kind of spherical aberration algorythm yet lol... interesting but not really something easy to do!
Maybe in release 12.3.4.5 I will try to implement this let's make the v 0.1 working before
Do you like a guide to disassembly our s200?I ve changed my touch panel and i ve taken high def pictuse with my nokia n95.I think it would be good beacuse surfing the internet i can t find anithing like this
I m interested ! it can be useful when there is some piece to change
thx
Ok,even if you will be the only one interested,i have to thank you for your outstanding rom...Tomorrow i will start to write the guide
Highly interested, can't await to see the pictures on the inner life of my S200.
Best regards
Ernie
Yes,
It could be a nice idea and very useful to publish your work.
We can make it a sticky.
My first post here so i'll try to be as good of an OP as possible!
So, i looked around and i couldn't find one i liked so i made my own with some help of course! And i finaly decided i want to share it with you all ^^
Since i first noticed that if you make a 1 loop bootanimation you can't make it big so even though the screen is 480x800 i scaled down the images to 360x600(75%) which made it VERY fluent when scaled up to 480x800. No chopping like it otherwise did and i could have higher fps+more frames.
This is my first bootanimation and the only thing i did was taking frames from this remastered/recreated(but slightly non-cannon *Look at where the TM is placed in the first half*) version of the PS1 boot:
"Link 1"
And i used this sound:
"Link 2"
Which i normalized so it wouldn't destroy my speaker!
links.rar has the two credit links as well as the example link(youtube) in a txt file til i get more posts
PS: Filenames in the bootanimation have their original vlc snapshot names. I will fix this in a later version now i just want oppinions and to share the beauty i've created ^^
Any ideas for a splashscreen or what to have as an ending for the animation is appriciated. Im new to all of this so!
LINKS IN THE SECOND POST!

Man I'm so lost I've been trying to do this for hours I've got a Samsung Galaxy S 2 I recently rooted it and put a custom rom on it I've managed to get the boot animation on it but I cannot find the sound I have to rename or anything Where am I meant to put the sound ?
interesting!
interesting boot animation tnx for that
This is cool, thx
Holy smokes this is cool. Can you upscale that for the Galaxy Nexus?
Is anyone able to resize for sensation? I love this. Reminds me of the good old days Would love to be able to have it on my sensation with boot sound. Running Ordroid 8.0.0 atm. If it is easy enough to do, someone kindly point me to a guide and I will have a crack at it

I know it has been a while since you asked this question but to find out where and what name the bootanimation is meant to be named and kept, simply use root explorer (available on play store to buy or similar alternative)
Navigate to /system/customize/CID and open the file 'default.xml'
Now scroll all the way to the bottom and look for <BootConfiguration> should be about 30-40 lines up from bottom. There you will find the locations for bootanimation and audio. simply rename your bootanimation and/or audio to the name it says there. In my case they are
system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3
system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip
Hope it helps somone atleast if not you
thank you
animation is so good however the boot sound is more wonderful
very nice but how do I flash it?
Good share dude..
How bout a transformers one???

Fantastic!
I can't get a good calibration with my stylus.
Maybe it's because I'm left-handed and hold the pen to the side (I did change the left/right hand settings).
I just can't get it to be accurate.
Sweet. Neat looking art.
The 3rd one is very good.
Are we doing a general "post your pictures done on the Note" thing yet?
Here is my first try just using the S Memo app. Hopefully I can get the cat to sit still for longer next time:

Nice - does that use the pressure-sensitivity or is it just whatever weight of line you choose? So far I've only really found the basic S-Memo app to behave the way I want it to.

Wow, you've got some talent there fards! Beautiful use of colors.
Does this mean you've moved on from the Streak? Any thoughts for a fellow Streaker thinking about making the switch?
I have played with Zen brush and omni sketch but none of them have the pressure working properly in Zen it simply doesn't work and in omnisketch the options won't show.already emailed developers and they are aware of the issue,
My rom in UK kj4 it would be great If anyone with a latest from would try and see if it works,the best way to test is by downloading omni sketch and checking if you have the pressure options as in the manual.

Ooh, I wasn't even aware there were _meant_ to be pressure options in Omnisketch - they're just not there, like you say.

I found other amazing video，I try post soon.
my friend did these on my note...tbh am not that good at drawing i cnt even draw straight line XD
both zen brush and omnisketch are cool applications but I can't find them anywhere. (I have a Tab 10.1 but can't access Samsung Apps)
It would be great if someone would take backups of these apps (using Astro maybe) and share the apk files
Question : do you guys use the s-pen or do you use other pens? If so, which?
Thanks
WTF, i cant even write anything properly...
So people, has anyone here been using is TF as a drawing tablet? I basically got mine thinking it would do a decent job replacing my graphic tablet when I'mnot at home, and I must say that with Photoshop Touch and the adonit Jot, it's been really great.
So if there's anybody here who uses it this way, I would very much like to see what they managed to obtain, so show off !
For people interested, here is what I got to do with a little work (and I have a last one, with a topless girl, which his my last and favorite creation... but I'm not sure I can show it here).
What do you use? Also, must show or we won't believe you can draw naked girls.
I made my signature with the jot and PS touch, I've done other things as well..like a SPARK signature logo in paul burton's dev thread..very handy..
That's some nice stuffs

How did you manage to get a different brush in PS Touch ? I can't find for the life of me a way to change it...

Okay, so here we go :
Yeah, from what I've gathered you can't change brush shape, only size, opacity, flow and hardness, but you can enable pressure sensitivity, yet it just random jitters with the jot, sure the jot 2 will enable this option fully, ICS already has pressure sensitivity via Bluetooth function built in IIRC.
But you get warp and filter masks etc so i use these functions to address the missing brush options.
Speaking of pen pressure... Did anyone try the stylus from the HTC Flyer or the Samsung Galaxy note with our TF ? PS Touch and SBPro claim they use the pressure ; can we get it with these ?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. With those pens, AFAIK, they require special hardware in the screen similar to a Wacom screen.

Well, given that theses styli are battery powered, I figured they would analyse the pressure themselves and send the,information to the device... after all that's the way my lowgrade Aiptek tablet works.
Thank you to the others for your nice comments.
Up !
Just to let you know I purchased Sketchbook Pro : wanted to see if it could be easier than Photoshop Touch to use. Well, I find the UI really intuitive, and it has freaking brushes ! Yay.
The con is that the number of layers is limited - 7 or 8, not sure. I only know I've found myself merging layers 'cause I needed a new one and had reached the app's limit.
Anyway, here's what I did this evening : took me about one hour, and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Nice man, I wish I had this kind of talent.
Just got sketchbook pro. Takes alot of getting used to but I like it so far! I am using a regular pen for tablets. This sketch took a while because I had to figure what everything does lol. Anyone got tips on using sketchbook pro?
Yay, like it - a lot! As you might already have guessed, you'll find the Transformer works best with sketching: getting a clean line can be a pain the ass, but eventually, everything seems to be possible.
As for tips, I'm afraid I don't have any. I know I have spent a fair amount of time learning to edit my brushes (you can change opacity, smoothness, spacing, hardness/smoothness... almost everything, for both the extremities and the middle of a line) only to find my settings didn't stick when I would close the app... but hey, with a bit of practice, it's pretty fast to set up again. If you ever used Photoshop or the Gimp, you'll find a lot of similarities.
