I was curious if anybody happens to know if its possible to disable automatic landscape mode when connected with the tv out cable.
I use my tv out option mostly when hosting poker games. Great for using Poker Clock blind timer app displayed to a tv. I also like using the new Slacker radio app. However that and other apps have lack of good landscape support making it difficult to use the tv out option with some programs.
I looked with no luck through the registry.
Anybody??
I have found a registry tweak that works perfectly for me in tv out mode!
1) Change your registry to enable screen rotation:
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (Change from 1 to 0)
2) Then, simply map your phone button long press to the rotation tweak:
Settings -> Buttons -> Map with <Rotate Screen>
3) When you would like to rotate your screen, just hold your Phone button.

Hi
I'm presenting you my Android application for controling Nikon and Canon DSLR with your Android phone/tablet over USB, wireless with the WU-1a/1b adapter or with using an OpenWrt with help of the DslrDashboardServer.
For running the application you need Android with USB host mode support and USB OTG cable/adapter.
Begining with version V0.30.1 you need Android 4.0 (ICS) for the application, the old version V0.26.7 minimal requirement is Android 2.3.4.

The project is in beta development.
Please check out the new LRTimelapse help screen that should help you capturing time-lapse sequences.
V0.30.28 changes:
Nikon properties dialog (press the exposure indicator display in bottom to bring it up)
Some fixes for the Nikon internal bracketing - only available in Nikon properties dialog
Added Nikon HDR capture - only available in Nikon properties dialog
Added Nikon Auto ISO - only available in Nikon properties dialog
Canon 10x zoom
Small fix for Canon live view render while in movie recording
LRTimelapse help screen available if you start a time-lapse in DslrDashboard
Exposure correction based on camera exposure reading (Nikon only) - read more here [AutomaticExposureCorrection Exposure Correction]
Histogram based exposure correction - still work in progress
master device (NIKON only). If you have connected more devices you can set one as a master device and all other devices will reflect the shutter speed/aperture/iso changes. Also if you start a time-lapse on master device it will execute on other devices to. - this is still work in progress
small error fixes that where reported on Google Play
V0.30.27 changes:
Added the live view overlay buttons to new layout
GPS info now also works for Canon JPG and RAW to (only if the image is downloaded to your Android device - capture button is red)
Added BULB mode for custom bracketing (works only on models that support bulb shooting). Works only in M mode and the initial shutter speed must be other then bulb (<= 30 ).
Added battery info icon
Added Image size/format property for Canon (only tested with 650D)
Some fixes and changes for the GPS info handling for images
Stability fixes
Remaining free image count for sdcard (Nikon/Canon). Now if you click it, it will toggle between capture destination : camera sdcard/android device. The old 'capture' button long click still works but will be removed in upcoming versions.
V0.30.26 changes:
added support for DslrDashboardServer v0.2 that now support multiple USB connections and multiple client connections
now mov files are also displayed in the image gallery and they can be downloaded (it can take a while if a file is big) and watched (external played is used)
fix for the timelapse and focus dialog crash
histogram switch in LRTimelapse help screen
optimisation and more fixes for errors reported by users
V0.30.23 changes:
UI changes, the UI is faster now

Internal changes to the device communicators
V0.30.22 changes:
Fix for D5100 crash
Added D3200 camera/host mode
Added bulb timer
Fix for 'Connect to server' button not showing
some small fixes
V0.30.21 changes:
More then one USB camera support (using an USB hub you can now connect more USB cameras and control/switch between them)
Fixed switching between connected cameras (USB or network connected)
Ability to start a capture on all connected cameras (enable it in the 'back' button dialog)
Fix for cameras that have 2 slots (Nikon)
Some fixes that should improve D3100 and D3200 (D3200 should also work)
Fixes for the old live view display
Canon live view should be a bit more faster
Other small fixes
V0.30.20 changes:
D7100 support
WU-1a/1b support (tested with D7100 by me, tested with D600 with a help of a user)
Custom bracketing now works with Canon in M and A mode to
lot of small fixes
V0.30.19 changes:
UI changes, reworked the icons, new colors for button, reworked the dialogs, removed the menu and actionbar as it was more in the way then it helped
image viewer uses OpenCV/OpenGL for rendering the image, JPG are loaded in full resolution so no pixelation when zoomed in (raw files are still processed with half-size because of slow processing in full resolution)
added live view exposure preview, live view white balance, live view selector for Nikon models that support it (they can be find in LV properties layout on right)
added zoom button in live view display (upper left corner - only in OpenCV/OpenGL live view mode) that will display a zoom dialog)
added a BLV button below the zoom button in live view. Pressing the BLV button will save the aperture/shutter speed/iso values. After pressing it those values can be changed at will. Before capture the application will restore the saved values and make the capture with those. If 'return to live view' is enabled the application will restore the BLV values. This is useful for Nikon models that reflect the aperture/shutter speed/iso changes in live view (like D800).
reworked the custom bracketing, now it should choose the right shutter speeds if used in M mode.
increased the manual focus step slider in live view (0 - 1000 now)
other fixes
I still didn't get back the Canon 650D so the custom bracketing is not working for Canon as I can't test it.
V0.30.18 changes:
Added D5200 support
Fixed custom bracketing image capture order - now the capture order is: under exposed - normal - over exposed
Fixed crash if external viewer is used
Fixed image review if camera shutter or remote release is used
Fixed the RPT interval property in Flash commander dialog
Added comment, artist and copyright properties (right panel last button). Not all models support the artist and copyright properties. All 3 can take up to 36 characters
Added focal length display in the bottom bar for cpu-lens.
Added a small DoF calculator. Press the focal length display in the bottom bar.
Added profiles for camera properties, custom bracketing, focus stacking, flash commander (CLS). All use the same dialog. 'New' will create a new profile. 'Save' will save the properties into the current selected profile. 'Load' will load the properties for the current selected profile. 'Delete' will delete the current selected profile.
V0.30.17 changes:
Keep live view aspect ratio (in settings)
Auto focus in live view after focus point change (for now Nikon only)
Landscape mode in both orientation
Next/previous image while in gallery image view (fling left/right)
Image review after image is taken (enable in settings). It will work if you shoot in RAW + JPG or in any of JPG modes
Custom bracketing dialog rework. Now you can select the desired under/over exposure image count. In 'A' mode it will use the EV as in old version, in 'M' mode it will bracket the shutter speed. Displays that EV/shutter speed values that will use for bracketing (for now Nikon only)
Added menu options for connecting to DslrDashboardServer running on OpenWrt
V0.30.16 changes:
I added OpenCV. Durning DslrDashboard first start it will ask you to install the OpenCV manager. After installing it the manager will install the OpenCV client libraries for the Android device.
I added a complet new live view rendering that is implemented in native code using OpenCV and OpenGL. To enable the new rendering go to settings and under live view options enable the 'Use OpenCV/OpenGL for LV rendering' option. In OpenCV/OpenGL rendering you are able to enable various OpenCV filters with the button located in the upper right corner (grayscale, sepia, edge detection, sobel, canny, inverse, etc). Also the histogram calculation and display is done with help of OpenCV. The new rendering should be much faster then the old one (Please test this rendering so I can improve it, with D5000 and 650D works superb here on Nexus 7 and SG2 to).
added focus area selection for Nikon cameras (still needs some work)
added a fix that enabled live view with Canon 7D models
fixed the exposure display view
V0.30.15 changelog (mostly Canon 650D changes)
reworked the capture
added bulb capture (select BULB for shutter speed, press the capture button to start BULB capture, press again the capture button to end BULB capture)
reworked the auto focus (AF now works like if you press halfway the shutter release button, while you holding the AF button the camera is auto focusing, after you release it will stop the auto focus)
added EV value display while the AF is enabled
added proper focus rect display while in live view
added movie recording (thanks to Dave Coffin who showed me how to decode the LV image while in movie recording - while the camera is recording a movie the LV is much slower)
added the focus mode property for the live view and movie recording
custom bracketing (in Av mode)
focus stacking (the Canon 650D only supports 3 steps of focus movement 1 - small, 2 - medium, 3 - large so use these values for the focus step value in the dialog)
time-lapse also works now with Canon 650D
other small fixes improvements
V0.30.14 changelog
Fix for the time-lapse bug
Networking mode - server accepts more clients and switching is possible between the connected clients (server can have a camera connected with usb to)

ps: probably the basic functions will work with other nikon cameras as the program checks what
commands/properties the camera supports(or any camera that supports
the basic PTP commands/properties/events - PIMA 15740:2000
or ISO 15740:2008 - don't have this one as it is to much for my pocket)
I knew after chainfire released one for canon, some one would release one for nikon as well.I own canon dslr so i wont be able test it but kudos to you for releasing one for free.
Wow,its cool. Wonder when its come for olympus. It would be great with pen series
send from my premium XDA GT-P1000 2.3.3|DXJPE
Great work!! Let me know if you want me to test on the D5100.
Any news about this? I need it for my D7000.
OMG..finally someone create something that can combine SGS2 and Nikon Camera.
Unfortunately, I have Nikon D700. I hope you can create similar application for it
Anyway, thanks for your great work thehabos
the app won't boot ! :S
Checked out the sdk's for other models and with some work the other models will work to. The live view part needs most of the changes.
aflatonios:
can you be more specific, what rom u use, what camera u use, do you get the permission dialog, is your camera detected when you turn it on?
I'm on latest lite'ning rom.
before trying to connect the camera (D5k) , the application won't even boot .
in the pics you can see the error and my phone info .

sorry but you need at least 2.3.4 version, i forget to write it in the first post
very interesting!
I have a Nikon D300 .. you think I could use your app with my camera?
yes with some work. the D300 live view data is a bit different then the D5000 (it has no face detection data), and some of the property values differ. Will try to add the needed changes in the upcoming days if you interested in trying it out.
Hmm, where have I seen something similar before... You could have at least picked a name that didn't mimic mine.

The app name is D5kControl and the "Nikon D5000 DSLR Control" simply describes what it does, if you have problem with it I can rename it if you find me a name that describes it and dosn't 'mimic' yours.
Edit:
Actually I have created for myself an unpublished WPF application under same name last year in april, when I buyed my Nikon D5000

Once you got it all down for All Recent Nikon DSLR, you can just name it NikonControl or NDSLRcontrol (lol sounds like NDS control)
Here is what I found out:
it FC and Hangs when I chose Live View function when I put in either Camera Mode or Host Mode.
I already start and stop the service just to try it out, but still does the same thing.
Live View just shows up Black Screen. I notice it puts the camera top LCD says PC mode.
BTW, I am using VillainROM 2.4 KG6
I would love to see this work for my D90 too!
Please one for the D3100... Thx
Hi!
This is a simple display test tool which gives you the oportunity to test your LCD/OLED display. It is designed to allow full screen testing in ICS and Honeycomb devices by hiding the soft buttons.
Tests:
1.) Dead pixel test: detect "dead pixels" by displaying a series of solid background color pages
2.) Color tests: contrast, gradient (banding) and saturation tests
3.) Gamma calibration tests
4.) Viewing angle tests (This is useless for OLED displays)
For activate the soft key hiding in ICS/Honeycomb use the preferences menu.
Gestures:
* Slide left-right: change test image
* Slide up-down: change brightness
* Long touch: switch between full screen and normal screen (only Honeycomb & ICS)
Download it from the Google Play Store
Anybody try this?

Just did. And I'm happy to say my LTE GNex has no dead pixels. Do the two grey screens look dithered to anyone else? Is that an effect of the pentile screen?
I tried the app ... it is working as intended.
There is one typo on the last contrast test screen ... it is written "conrast"
v1.2 is on the market. Gamma calibration test added.
how do i read the gamma test to adjust my gamma levels?
Look at the gamma testing image, and take some bigger distance back from your GN's display such that you don't see the individual pixels/lines or squint your eyes. Now search for the vertical color bar which has the same lightness/darkness as the background color. If you found it, then just read the number written in that bar, and you have your GN's actual gamma value. It should be 2.2.
I don't think, you can change the gamma of the GN's display. Not with the stock kernel/system. (But I read about a sollution with a custom kernel and a custom app for that: Improve Screen Performance on the Galaxy Nexus.)
Upgraded to v1.3:
* Redesigned GUI
* Gamma test now works forr all kind of displays
* New LCD viewing angle test (pointless for OLED displays)
Very nice, thanks. My only difficulty is when the nav buttons are hidden it is very difficult to advance to the next screen. Maybe some use of a long press could make it easier?
Edit: after playing with it I got the hang of it a bit. First tap to make the buttons appear, then a quick swipe for the next screen before the buttons are covered again. Works for me now.
I can't download from the market it just hangs. Can you post the apk
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
New version v1.4 is on the Play Store.
Latest changes:
* Sliding gesture for brightness change added
* Long touch on screen schanges full screen/normal screen on Honeycomb/ICS devices
* App can be moved to SD card (of course not on GN)

I bought my Note 7 on August 19, the release day in the U.S. With that phone I was able to take panoramic photos and upload them to Facebook, where the viewer could pan through them from side to side using the mouse.
Since that phone was recalled, my new Note 7 unit works differently. My panoramic photos are still noted as panoramic on the phone, but when I upload one to FB, it displays all at once, thin top-to-bottom and the entire width showing. Viewers cannot pan through them using the mouse.
Viewing the pictures on the phone with the Gallery, the original panoramic photos display the globe icon on them, meaning that they are panoramas. But panoramas taken with my new phone don't display the globe symbol (in gallery mode), though they do display a panorama symbol when the photo is viewed in single-picture mode.
I seem to remember there being two panorama-type photo modes on my original phone: one that let me pan left to right (as I can now with the new unit), and one that let me pan left, right, up, and down. This new unit doesn't offer a mode that lets me pan in all four directions; that photo mode seems to be missing.
I don't recall if I used that missing mode to capture the original panoramas or not, however.
Can anyone confirm what I remember about the missing panorama mode? Does anyone with a new unit have both modes?
Could you have been using Surround Shot?
Surround Shot, that was it! Big thanks.
I update to the Android One UI. Screen capture is now missing the color dropper (color picker). Also, when it saves drawings, the lines are saved VERY PIXELATED.
Any help?

for me it's still there.( color dropper )
I'm on android 10 ,April security patch and Samsung updated ,One UI 2.1
If i use Spen option to screen shot it shows under screenshot image
If it's a swipe type screen shot,
it shows under the bottom option icons ,next to the scroll icon/edit icon
Otherwise only option left is to factory reset ..to hopefully fix issue !
Good luck
