Hi.
For my studies I'm expected to develope application which would be able to record phone calls (voice both from mic and speaker). App is for HTC Touch Pro and maybe for Samsung Omnia (but mainly for HTC) and it should be written in C#.
I wrote in my life few CF apps so I know mobile programming topic and I'm not asking for writing application for me. I would like to ask developers who know this topic about few things:
Is it possible to capture voice from mic and speakers while using only CF .NET 3.5 without any specific APIs? Or some additional (phone specific?) APIs are needed? If it is not a problem, can I get few lines of code with description how to do it?
I read few threads here and on other sites but nowhere I can find any information about developing these kind of apps - only posts about which commercial app works on which phone and which is not. So I hope that someone in this development section can help me with this.
I will appreciate any help
Cheers.
No-one? Really?
There are unmanaged APIs which can be used in managed apps by using P/Invoke. Take a look at the 'Wave In' part.
Not sure if this can be easily used for phone call recording.

Hi.
Thank you for reply. Sample from your link records and plays sounds pretty well, but during phonecall it is completely lost and cannot even save wave properly (and I assume that it is taking control of microphone, because on second phone my voice doesn't exists :/).
I have tried few tricks using openNETCF too, but it also has problems with recording during the phonecall.
Does anyone have any more idea? There are a lot of phonecall recorders which work so somebody must have done this before...
I just got a Desire last week having had a N900 for the last six months and I'm loving both the device and the OS. The speed, the screen, the sense UI, it's all mobile goodness.
But I do want to ask if it is possible to screencast my Desire's screen while providing a voice commentary. I work as a teacher and I wanted to be able to provide video how-to guides of certain educational apps for my students. My first thought was to physically video my phone's screen using another camera, but I discovered that my hardware isn't really up to the task.
So I thought I might be easier to somehow connect my phone to the computer via USB, display the phone screen on my computer and then use software like Camtasia to do the screen capturing.
I've searched on the net to find out if this is possible but struggled to find an answer. There was a lot of stuff about SDKs and rooting and command lines and while I have some tech knowledge, a lot of it was way over my head.
If anyone can tell me if this is possible and how I'd go about doing it in fairly simple terms I'd be grateful. I am willing to chance my arm with the strange world of rooting if I have to, though I am afraid of messing up my lovely new device. All advice and help gratefully received..

You're definitley going to need to root your phone but even at that no app like that exists for Android (Yet). It's fairly doable but you would need to get the help of a developer.
There's an app called AndroidScreenCast, search for it in the G1 forums. This will show your screen on the PC and then use a desktop recording tool to record it (I think it may actually have an inbuilt record video function though).

Thanks for that, sounds awesome and could be exactly what I need. Don't have pc access at the moment but will try it out as soon as I get home. Much appreciated!
Just tried it. Has a really slow refresh rate but works fine for basic functions i suppose!
Hey everyone
Saw a few people were looking for a patched version of the ScanSearch application that ships with LG phones (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912217). I popped open reflector and modified it enough that it now launches on my non LG device.

@mods: if you want me to take the link down, please edit this out. PM me if the link disappears
Cheers
Oh, just so you know, you will have to use this tool to install it. You will need to tick the "Replace assembly signatures" and "Remove DRM" options for it to work correctly.
now thats a great app, thanks

All apps I have tested yesterday on my OMNIA 7.
Deploy them with Xap Deployer V1.4 and mark the checkboxes...
Can you patch Panorama Shot too?
hm, it always direcing to east is bad..but otherwise its a great app...perhaps you can fix the issue of it always facing east?
Yes in scan search, compass does not work on hd2 hd7. stays in one direction.
Should be possible to make some kind of bridge that intercepts the calls to the non-existent LG driver and return it meaningful compass data, right? I don't quite have the knowledge to do it myself, but if you can mess with it enough so that it doesn't check if it's on an LG phone, it should be possible to direct it at a different DLL...
I don't get it, it's missing all the features but one.
The app can also scan CDs, books, movie posters, bar codes, etc. and none of that is here. It should have a list of icons on the left hand side to toggle between these, yet when installed on HD7 and Focus, it's all gone (I have LG Quantum too, so I can compare).

This functionality might have been implemented in an update? The only XAP I got to patch was the v1.0.0.0 ripped from the ROM. If you have a newer XAP, and post it, I'll be all to happy to update my site and post.
Strike that, I did patch the latest version. Will look into it.
Patched it, download from the same URL as before. It was a carrier check, meaning that only certain US Carriers could access those features. Now granted all devices the same supportedFeatures value.
If someone has a way of getting the orientation of other devices, I'm happy to give it a go, see if I can tweak it to a degree.
doesnt work, additional features are still not available for barcodes etc.
won't install on my focus
There's a Samsung Compass Homebrew library out there, which might be usable for this app with a bit of hacking. I've never tried it, though. Download the source for the "Functional Webserver" and it's in there.
as there is a htc compass app out now there, too.
someone interested in making a scansearch app with support for all devices?
ScanSearch is nice... Panorama shot is man oh man... so much better. I would say of the bunch its is the best... Also I get a manifest error...

yeah panorama shot is awesome app
why is none else able to code such thing...
wheres the files?
Works on my Dell Venue Pro....
Thanks : D
Edit: it loads, but it lok like it hasn't got access to the compass, because moving the phone does not move the compass in the scansearch app...
Been a lot of complaints on other forums about the crippled camera app in bada 2.0 and I'd like to restore some of the fuctionality from 1.2. Perhaps it's not actually possible as all I have seen is the KK5 app brought back to enable front camera, and no 1.2 app for bada 2.0 to restore some of the other missing functions like pause in video recording or editing options. So if this is waste of time please let me know, but I though the main problem was passing the sequrity check which has now been solved thanks to kubika. SO if possible this is the precise scope of the project:
It's not just the ability to pause a video recording, or edit anything after, there's a lot of other stuff too...
NO Image Quality selection
NO countinous/sequance shoot mode
NO sharpness, saruration, contrast adjustment... but still have auto contrast check box... as oppesed to what?!?!?
NO thumbnail or info view for picture when reviewing from cammera app
NO edit fuction for anything from anywhere as already mentioned... though admittedly if I really want to edit a pic I'll probably do it on my PC anyway.
Although a noob at this I do have some expeciance with PC's, and my understanding is that bada apps are in C++ so if one can decompile and recompile the camera app. Then ALL missing functions, with possible exception of editing that probably calls on seperate app, should be easily recoverable in the bada 2.0 camera app. I've actually checked the samsung developer website, and it gives guidelines on how to implemnet many of these functions if whishing to create your own app, so the code should be easy to reinsert even for me in their own app. The one problem may be creating/inserting buttons/tiles for the menus if not already available but simply uncalled, which I hope is actually the case since one can easily recover the record call button.
The main issue is I don't know how to decompile the two apps to read and compare the code, and then recompile them, so could someone please point me to the appropriate program(s) with hopefuly some instructions on how to use them. I think this is something that may be appreciated by many since we can now more easily upload modified apps, and is a relatively simple mod for a noob to atempt... so if anyone can offer some help with that to get me started, it's a project I'd be looking to take up .
innovative ..
liked your idea.
+1
to keep it simple, you can't 'decompile' a binary code to a c++ code, the compiling process is a one-way procedure..
Hello everyone, I was recently gifted a 360 camera for my phone. Its A "LOLLY360 Panoramic Camera". Its cool. I found it on Amazon and apparently costs $80. You need to download the Lolly360 accompanying app in order to use it though. Which is kind of a bummer.
Herein lies my question: could there be a way to hack this thing to get it to "take over" the main camera of the phone? That way any app can utilize the 2 cameras on the accessory device?
I'm not sure where to even ask this question. Because its really more about hacking. But its hacking an accessory.....or possibly software? Like a man-in-the-middle approach? Any help would be appreciated.
This is what I think, because when I first installed the app and connected the 360cam, a popup asked me if I wanted to launch the app anytime THIS usb device is connected. And then, once connected, how does the camera talk to the app? Could there be a way to hijack this communication and use the accessory on ANY app that uses a camera? My fist instinct was to use it as a dash cam, since it has 2 super-wide angle cameras.
Anyway, thanks to anyone who can give some feedback...or a mod that moves this to the right forum...

I'm still curious if anyone has any input on this....so...bump
