I don't have steady hands. I noticed that blurred pictures result from my hand moving while pushing the camera button.
In my Canon Camera, there is this feauture that delays for a second or two the actual clicking of the shutter so that actual picture taking will not be simultaneous with my finger pushing the camera button. This results to a better picture for people who dont have steady hands.
What you think guys.
hope this works on your unit. it's a direct application icon so simply copy and paste it on your unit...can be on the program's folder or start up menu, etc. it was made by a chap in this forum a while back; works well with xda2, xda2s, xda2i and the mini. should work for you as well. clicking on the icon will allow you to set a timer for your camera. there's also another app made by the same chap and it allows your unit to take rapid shots. let me know if you want that one as well.
cheers
Can you post the rapid shots file as well? I am interested in that, thanks!
here you go then. ahh, i remember it was "jwhitham" who made this app possible so kudos to him
what you do is you copy this file into whichever folder you want it to be in (e.g. programs, start menu, my documents, etc). you then go to your settings->personal->buttons and select "rapid shot" for button 3 (camera). i do remember making a copy of the app and pasting it in "my documents" to make sure the app can be remapped by the unit for buttons.
if you'll notice the icon is the SAME as the camera timer app so just be careul of which one you're pressing. clicking on the rapid app will allow you to make the settings you want.
exit; go back to your today screen and activate your cam. from there if you hold down on the camera button it'll start clicking away (up to a hundred pics if i remember)...just be careful you set the pics to jpeg format instead of bitmap...otherwise your unit's memory will be all used up!
cheers
oops, made a mistake previous post. clicking on the rapid shot icon will automatically make your cam take a pic; no other settings will come out. it'll be better if you simply paste the icon on your today screen. from there go to settings->personal->buttons and select "rapid shot" for button 3 (camera). exit and from there give it a shot.
cheers
wow these sure are great applications, by the way, would you know any camera enhancement program like this? thanks to the one who developed the applications
so far those are the only camera-related apps i've seen. i did read somewhere in the forum about camera patches or upgrades but they ended with screwing up the camera function. oh there was one somewhere about a webcam app...i previously asked if there was an app which allowed the camera to act as "real time". example; while in activesync you can use remote display to show the ppc screen on your laptop/pc montior. clicking on the camera function only gives you a black / empty field but when taking a picture that appears on the monitor. i was hoping there was an app which allows you to use the cam function sort of like a "security camera" which gives you real time. so far haven't been successful yet.
latest version?
hi robson... i did a search for jwhitham and found this URL: http://www.coderz.co.uk/cameratimer.html. it had a different UI. it had options for loop and delay before the next loop. happen to have that version? tnx!
sorry mate, the 2 files i posted on the web are the only versions i have. when those apps came out (not sure when...ages ago though) jwhithams mentioned that he did want to "clean up the apps" by combining the timer and the rapid shot into one icon into one exe file...but that never came up...not that i'm complaining mind you. so for later versions i'm afraid i never did come across them...maybe we can drop jwhitham a pm and see what happens.
cheers

Hi after some seeeriuos searching, I found a mirrored copy of the more sofisticated version of the freeware cameratimer (i.e. the one with gui and timeouts)
Once again all tx should go to the developer.
I attach it to my msg.

Hi!
I know that it is not exactly the same topic, but it is related because depends on a similar registry edit, and should enable a new camera mode.
I have an Artemis.
Following the kind of reasoning http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292560
post #7
(I posted a similar comment at the end of that old thread)
I found in my registry that profile 6 (P6) had also the entry
"enabled" set to 0.
I set it to 1... and the panoramic icon appeared in the sequence of modes of the camera.
I has also specific settings like "left to right", "number of stitches"...
Unfortunately I could not make it work. May be it was because I did not know how to operate this mode.
Any one had discovered / tampered with this or had it already activated?
Any ideas on how to make it work?
the recording part works fine work. after taking the 1st picture the display shows a small part of the pic i just took as an "overlay" so i can capture the correct area for the 2nd picture. (hell, i dont even know i would describe that in my native language...)
this way i can take 3 pictures (or whatever i chose in settings). when i have done that, i can see the full panorama for maybe 0.5s before it vanishes and the camera software closes. after that the picture is gone, i cant find it nowhere.
(all this is using B&B v4.0 beta)
Ditto. I get to the last picture and the camera application crashes. Maybe that's why it was disabled. I am using B&B 3.7 BTW.
Run this app in the background to use the G-Sensor as a DPad. Seems to work with cursor (in word etc) and, start menu, list boxes etc.
Comments/feedback appreciated (but please remember it is a work in progress!)

Have a play and let me know your thoughts.
I'll give her a look see --- not happy with the virtual SIP solution I've been trying to code. I was wondering if I could detect a hardware key (like the back arrow) and then use the g_sensor for scrolling if and only if that button was being held. That way apps aready using the g-sensor could continue to use it and users could have greater control over what was scrolled and when. Since you already have taken this this far I throw the idea your way to run with it if you want to... if not that is fine too.
Blessings my friend in the new year!
PS-If you want to collaborate in coding send me a PM
Seems to work as intended... The single-hardware button "hold to enable - release to disable" would make this a real solution... Are use using Dutta's Unified Sensor API "My Brain Hurts website"?
Good work so far
how do you install this??
Excellent !!
exactly what I was looking for, great job!
I'll test it in some games unusable without d-pad and report.
thanks !

I copied the files to my SD card and ran the exe... switching to another application then uses g-sensor as directional arrows... stopping EXE kills behavior... at least that's what worked for me
I tried it out and this seems promising. Below are some things I would like to see added to make this truly useful.
1. You do not want to have it active all the time so you need an easy ability to activate/deactivate it as already stated above. Either by pressing and holding a hardware button or by pressing and holding a certain area/corner of the screen.
2. When I hold the phone in my hand the neutral position is almost never the completely flat position. I think the position of the phone when you activate it according to 1. above should be taken as the neutral position. Any relative movements from that position should then be interpreted as left,right,up and down.
3. Make the speed of the scrolling configarable.
4. Make the speed of the scrolling proportional to the movement from the neutral position. If I move only slightly from the neutral position it should scroll slowly and if I move it a lot it should scroll faster.
5. A per application filter would also be really useful. For each application you should be able to specify ig G-Pad is active always, never or when activated according to 1. above. The default for unlisted applications should be to activate it according to 1. above.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions regarding my suggestions. I don't think any of them should be really hard to implement.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next version of this.
Wow, so many responses! Like I said initially, its a work in progress. On the "ToDo" list is :-
1. Config File!
* Threshold setting (how much to tilt before registering
* Center (i.e. what angle is neutral instead of flat)
* Application list
2. Proportional control
I'll add the other suggestions to my list.
Cheers
Great work! The most wanted for me is the possibility to map it to a button, so by pressing the button your program is enabled, by pressing it once again, it is disabled again.
Another idea would be that it is just enabled while you are pressing the button, whereas it is disabled when you are not pressing the specified button.
But its up to you .

No idea! I dont have AoE so once its up and running properly (its still in very early alpha!) I'll ask people to post compatible & incompatible apps.
Looks really promising! Seems to work pretty nicely. I think the two main things I would like would be similiar to what people already asked:
- An easy way to toggle it on\off rather than running the application and killing it.
- A way to calibrate the sensitivity threshold. It reacts rather quickly now.
Good job!
Ideas
I've been thinking about this more... if you allowed a program button like the BACK ARROW to temporarily activate when pressed, read current orientation and then applied scrolled based on the orientation delta from the initial orientation and then disabled scrooling once the BACK ARROW was released. This would solve the "Gee its not flat" problem and the enable/disable issue. Other configurable options might include as noted above -- changing g-sensor sensitivity; limiting scroll direction (N-S or E-W)
Can't wait to see your next version... I've suspended work on my v-DPad because i think yours will be the better solution
Has anyone tried this on a Touch Pro, i might do it right now and get back to you guys
EDIT: Well I just tried this on my Touch Pro and it works prefect, but it would be awesome if there was a way to disable it when using TF3D because you have to have the phone perfectly flat or it will move around on the tabs, or maybe make settings for it to disable in some programs
Very nice app, I will keep my eye on this one, Thanks!
Very nice!
I think this is the perfect solution as it allows to control everything with the GSensor. Too bad GController development has beed stopped, I hope this will be the perfect successor.
Great job!
This is really great work and has a lot of potential.
Let's wait for a more "finished" version.
thanks
It's so amazing good job
Work in PocketGBA (GBA emulator)?
Does this app work in PocketGBA?
Can't play GBA games on my mobile now since i upgrade my phone to HD as PocketGBA require hardware buttons for directions control.
GBA on Morphgear is just too slow with the sound on
As I take still pictures, if I save them into a message whether compressed or not they appear as a tetris game board. If I view them in the album, they appear as the picture was taken. I have reset all the defaults on the camera. The only difference is I am saving the pictures to a card, rather than the main memory. I have changed this setting to main memory, and the same occurs.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Welcome to forums
Lol!
I´m not laughing of your prob but of your tetris
Try doing a hard reset, instructions in the Wiki
And don´t forget to vote!
Possible to show us a screenshot of this "tetris" phenomenon? More curious than anything...
I think the real question here is how to get our pictures to always appear as tetris!
Here's a sample.
This was a picture of a knife block in the kitchen. I can view this picture as it is supposed to be seen in the album on the phone. However when inserted into a text or E-Mail (This one is from an E-Mail uncompressed) this is how the picture looks.
Thanks,

Are you on a stock ROM? or a cooked one?
Stock ROM.
The only mod has been to the registry regarding the tethering. The camera worked fine after that. Took video for the first time last week, and every since then, the camera has been acting like this for stills. Stock ROM on an AT&T Tilt 2 model.
Tech1208
I think the image/video is too big for the email/message, .. try taking a very small size picture and attach it and see what happens.
if same problem occur i would soft reset if were you, if it did not help, than hard-reset it is
Possible solution.
I had the same problem. I think it might have to do with having removed the delay in the Camera key captures. I had changed these settings in Advanced Config and my pictures started looking like yours.
I went back through Advanced Config and reset the delays to their defaults:
Capture Key Delay: Enabled (default)
Key Delay: Enabled (default)
Capture Key Delay Time: 1500
..and it seemed to fix the problem.
I hadn't changed anything else between the bad shots and the fixed shots, so it may be a solution.
Hope that helps.
Ron.
Yesterday, I posted a test version in wpxap.com, and now this is the updated version.
= Step =
Click "Start Capture Task" to start capturing (A timer will start, and during this period, application will listen to Camera button event)
You may need to wait one or several seconds, a message box will show up to let you know you can start catpuring.
Navigate to any application, and touch Camera button to capture the screen
A message box will show if the capturing is success, you can capture 20 images a one time (yes, you can ask for more if you want)
When the Capture Task ends, a Toast will show up to let you save the captured image, tap the Toast to return to application
The thumbnail will list and the captured images will stored in Pictures Hub
Tap the thumbnail will delete the temporary image file in the application folder
= Settings Help =

Nice work, great improvements.
A suggestion from my side:
Let the user decide whether he wants to save the captured image or delete it inside your app.
This means when the user has finished his capture session by pressing "no" go straight back to your app (remove the toast for saving the image). By long-pressing on a captured picture appears a menu:
view (if possible)
delete
save to picture hub
send via sms or email (if possible)

Is there a work around?
Hi,
I did up a home replacement for my Nook simple touch, thought I would share it. This is an initial release, no doubt there are bugs, incompatibilities, etc, you were warned. There are no checks for other devices at this point, NST only.
Thanks to the nook community for the noogie.img file, touch nooter, and relaunch for source code ideas and various threads regarding quick refresh and e-ink support.
Disclaimer: Now, what I am using currently is the bare minimum, I have tried quite a bit of the work in this forum and it works well, but I wasn't satisfied or 100% confident and I wanted less installed. So, I restored my nook to stock, used noogie and copied over a rooted ramdisk. That was it, no touchcolortools, nooktouchtools installed, adw minimal this or that, or button saviors. I am sure they are great programs but I don't know enough about them or have the interest/time to do research on them to want to keep them installed.
For me, the point is to keep things simple and maintain battery life. It's an e-reader not a tablet after all. I just want to read books, check email, check a website or two, get some more use out of wi-fi since I don't live in a B&N supported nation.
To install:adb install EPubBrowser.apk
Optional:
I also installed Email.apk and set up my gmail from there, no certificates required or a million google app files and plucking a chicken on a Tuesday after jumping on your left foot crap. No offense to those who like chicken plucking.
adb install Email.apk
Done and done.
I can do up a CWM zip upon request, but last going off I have a continuous reboot after installing the latest version and if you know enough to get the Nook's CWM installed you should be able to use adb.See attached files.
What is not working:
Since Android doesn't really know about multiple external storage locations (at least for the Nook's 2.1 and/or my knowledge of android) EPubBrowser is unable to detect when the internal storage has been remounted, there is no notification of that, just notification of external storage. So if you plug in your usb cord to the computer the list of books will be empty even when you remove it. So if you don't have an sdcard you will have to hit the back button and launch home again to refresh.
Also, B&N books are not listed, whatever is in My Files will be scanned only. That applies to internal and sdcard storage. You can still use B&N's Library to access those.
I don't have any option of uninstalling apps either. adb uninstall works fine or you can just delete files from /data/app via adb shell.
What is working:
Launch of EPubBrowser via nook's home button, without use of nooktouchtools, it duplicates how the B&N home app works.
The notification icon for resuming reading goes through the app. As long as the book was launched from EPubBrowser it can remember the last book, otherwise the main display will show up. Reason being that for whatever reason the last page read doesn't work with the B&N home screen if it's not a book bought from B&N. But if you are just using the B&N Reader app it's not a problem.
When you are prompted which home you want you can select EPubBrowser and hit default. This may not stay set and will go away the next time you reboot.
How to use:Left / right swipes to go to the next 6, previous 6 books, no indication of the current page is displayed, (e-ink and aesthetics).
Touch a book cover to launch a description of the book, swipe up and down to scroll through the description, touch the cover displayed there to start reading. Hit back button on top of screen to exit without launching a book.
To bring up the list of apps installed, swipe a clockwise circle starting at 10 O'clock. Touch an app to launch it, left or right swipe to go back to main screen.That's it for now.
If you have any ideas for improvements, bug reports, please provide as much detail as possible, and when you have done that add some more detail.
Cheers!
Updates:
2/19/2012:
Added screensaver for last read book. (Jpeg 75%) Settings->Display->Screensavers->EPubBrowser
11/4/2012:

Looks nice! I'll give it a shot later when my Nook's charged.
Thank you for making and sharing, i am going to try tomorrow and tell you,
Improvements
First of all, thank you for creating this cool launch screen. I love the simplicity of it. Here are is brief list of improvement that you can perhaps easily implement.
-When on the homescreen with the covers of all the books, I am not sure if I am suppose to scroll down or to the right to view the rest of my books.
-When on the page with the details from the book, there is no back button to take you back to the homescreen. I end up using the button savior back button.
-The circle gesture that takes you to the apps does not feel very responsive to me.
Anyhow, great job. Can't wait to see how you plan on improving it
OW MY EYES
I installed this, and everything just kept flashing. GO Locker and GO Launcher are both broken, and the only way I could fix it was by getting into ADW and closing the task. Did I install it incorrectly? I put it onto an SD card and used ES File Manager to install it.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
You swipe left to go to the previous page of books. You swipe right to go to the next page of books, assuming you have more than 6 books. Personally, I know what books I have on the device so it's not a problem knowing how many are left to see for me.
The back button should be on top of the screen in the middle, not sure why it wouldn't be there on yours. I will give it a think, maybe remove the scroll control in the book description and just use gesture detection and scroll the text via code.
Responsiveness and speed will likely improve over time, I am using the gesture library, maybe there are some optimizations there I can do.
Cheers!

Hi,
Noted, so it doesn't work with GO Lancher/Locker. Never tried GO stuff, so that wasn't tested. It was tested with ADW and relaunch, and I had all the rest of your typical touch nooter install there without problems, android market, etc.
I have run it with Home.apk renamed to Home.apk.bak and that works fine as well.
As for your other question, if it is installed it is installed, there are no configurations to modify, however you get it there it should be fine.
Cheers!

Noted that it does not work with go, will have to get rid of that first.
From the screenshots, I can already tell you put time into polishing! Good job!

I'll try it again without the GO software, but it was making everything just keep flashing, like the lock screen.
@NFHimself, any plans for taking this to github? It is very close to what I always wanted but I was also looking for:
- some kind of usage of Calibre data
- library filtering for series, highly rated, etc.
- tracking of books that are clicked to maintain sort of recent read filter
- sorting options by rating, series, and other Calibre properties
- option to display 6 or 12 (smaller) book covers.
I hope it already does use intents for selecting a different epub reader for those who have no defaults and multiple ones installed.
I know its a long list, and I have some Android experience. I am sure there would be other developers here so a combined effort might help.
Screenshots looks good, but on the Nook - only flashing screen like Googie2149 said

Hi,
I use Calibre as well, I just connect via adb and calibre picks up the nook and I copy books over and it converts on the fly, cool program. Using Calibre data is an idea worth looking into, if I can fit it into the theme of no preferences, no extra buttons or config. There are plenty of those kind of home apps already. Relaunch for one is great, just missing a graphical front end, I was going to mod that, but decided that I didn't really need so much stuff and I wanted to learn more android API.
I did up the app using pretty straight forward epub standards (note the plural), it works with most epubs I have run across, not sure if looking for extra xml is a good functionality vs performance tradeoff. I haven't been using EPubBrowser for very long myself, so when I add more books and find something annoying I will probably make changes to fix it. I want to keep things simple, if I need a preferences menu, it is already going the wrong way.
I am not specifying any class, just a regular launch this epub file intent, so it should work with any reader. I like the stock reader myself, cool reader seems to dislike some epubs I have above a certain size, and I didn't want to deal with it.
I may github it, I am kinda time limited these days.
Cheers!

I just wiped then manually rooted my Nook, and this works now. Although I'm having some trouble with getting to the apps page after the first time I did it. Could you possible change how you get to the apps page? Maybe change it so you have to click the menu key to get to apps.
Edit: Now that I've added my books, it shows me two books, one empty, and another book. Now it just flashes and removes/re-adds the last book. :/
Edit 2: I found that there are a few books that just don't like this launcher and cause the entire Nook to start flashing. I've been adding my books one by one to see which work and which don't and I'll try and find similarities between those that don't.
Great launcher replacement.
Running right now, but after the second page, I get sent back to the first, regardless of left-to-right or right-to-left swiping. Ideas?
Also, any chance for a page up/down use for scrolling through books?
I took a quick vid. It looks like when I swipe again from R to L, it tries to redraw the next books, but gets confused?

Hi,
I'm busy painting the baby's room, but it looks like it is resetting, perhaps one of your books is crashing the app and it is being relaunched as the home screen. Or could be some other bug, how many books are involved, if you remove one or add one, does it go away?
If someone could open the e-pub (it's a zip file) that causes the error and paste the contents of the .odf file (it's an xml file) , that would help.
Cheers!

I've gone through and removed / added ebooks, and still the same problem.
Sorry, been kinda busy.
I need to be able to see the bug on my end to work on it. Maybe I've been lucky with the book selections I have made or converting using Calibre has set them all to have the same kind of format, vs the variety you might see in the wild from multiple sources.
Does the error happen with no books?
What happens when you have just one book?
How many books do you have on your nook? (If it's something like 1000 then yeah, maybe you'd have issues, no checks in the code for being out of memory.)
What firmware are you using?
Are there any hardware differences? (Can't imagine that being a problem, but I am using a NST, not the original Nook.)
What can I do to reproduce this error on my end? What are the steps?
Cheers!

For me, it doesn't matter how many books I have, it's just a few specific books that crash, independent of the other books in my library, and some books are more severe than others (one makes the entire Nook start flashing (all software), others make only this app flash).
I have the same problem as the people above but I can't get past the first page. I can't seem to narrow it down to a certain book making it crash. It's a shame I love this home screen, but hopefully we can get this fixed and running great.
