Does anybody know how you can add more frames to Camera on the HTC S620. Ive just come back from holiday and when I was using the Camera for a few "fun pix" I was greatly dissapointed in the lack of choice... basicaly it only had four week frames to choose from. So as soon as I got back I went about getting some more frames for my phone.... which I found, but my phone cant find them. Ive already tried adding a "Frames" folder to "My Documents" both on my phone and the storage card but yet the phone doesnt recognise any of the frames. Anybody else have this problem or even better can anyone else give me instruction on how to get it to work?
if anybody wants to know the Camera Software im using is the Camera for Smartphones version 4.52 that came pre installed with the phone as I dont want to be having more than one installed.
Just out of curiosity, what's a fun frame?
I knew the camera software on the Dash could do "effects" like sepia or negative. Never heard of the above.
I am in the same boat, what exactly is a "fun" frame just wondering?
oh, I assumed all the HTC S620's had all the same basic software I wasnt aware that Frames wernt available on all models.
What I mean by fun frames is like Magazine Covers which you select and take a picture with the frame on top of it.
The four that come with the BT ToGo version which I have is one which has two magazine covers on (you take two pictures and they get put into the frame), a cartoony spikey frame, one which looks like a notice board with two pictures on and finally a folding frame that holds three pictures...
the problem is that they are too specific like the memo on the notice board say "I love you" on one and "happy birthday" on the other... and the three way folding frame has love hearts on so it isnt like you can use them on any occasion.
...Picture Themes, thats what they are!!! Mabey I would have got more response if I posted under that.
Yea this is a ROM specific function. I remember having this on my T-Mobile SDA. You could have images pre drawn on the screen with a spot in the middle of the screen so yo could take a picture and use the template around the picture. For example: i had one that was a template of bubbles, snorkle and face mask, and if you got the picture aligned properly you could make it look liit the person you wrre taking a pic of was wearing the snorkel and mask and look like they were underwater. Kinda cool effect. I never noticed this feature on the DASH though.
edit: i just found the templates on WM 6.1 , but the four that are preloaded are pretty lame.
Aaaaahhhhh, never mind Ive found out how you do it...
the trouble was BT never provided me with a manual with the phone, its all done online in PDF format now. But after trawling through the PDF I eventually found out how to add extra frames -
Template Folder (Picture Theme only). By default, templates are
stored in the \My Documents\Templates folder on the device’s Main
Memory. If you transferred some templates to a storage card (via File
Explorer), set this option to Main + Card to specify that templates are
located in both the main memory and the storage card.

so thats where I was going wrong, I had read somewhere that the folder had to be called Frames... when that didnt work I renamed it Template when all along it should have been Templates.
Thanks anyway.

do you have any templates to share?
Templates
Here you go.
Uh, I know it's not rocket science, but my upload keeps failing, I was trying to upload a few templates that I have for the DASH, Excalibur, etc.
Yeah I have found one or two good ones, I will try and post them sometime today
A couple of Wako Jacko's from BoSelecta (one just does the face while the other takes the face and background)
a Shrek and Fiona and a Wanted poster for now...
I think the frames from Sony Ericson phones should work (320x240) so im going to see if I can find them on my girlfriends phone and copy them onto my excalibur. The Sony Erricsons have some great fun frames and to be honest a really good camera built into their phones.
Does the frame need a special neme or extension?.
In Which folder need to be placed?
PS: Sorry my bad English

looks pretty friggin good to me man. Is there a .cab file you can put together for this?
Putting the final touches on it as we speak
OrganicM said:
I was able to get the TestUIPlugin to work and update in realtime. I used mortscript to get values from "weather watcher mobile", which is free. Currently, you run the script, it loads weather watcher, copies over the forecast data, updates the registry entries for testuiplugin, updates the plugin, and closes weather watcher in the background. It's not very elegant right now, because it uses mortscript. Maybe someone can write a standalone exe based on my work.
Here's what it looks like right now. Any ideas to improve the layout ?

Haha! fesitvely flump? I thought i was the only one who used that term!
Hahaha Actually it WILL, because I wrote this for myself. Buuuuuut, I will make an original version as well
Hey OrganicM, It looks sick but if i could suggest something, then it would be the title, instead of making the "temperature" the title, why not make it My Weather or something along those lines and underneath it - you could make a line for the temperature, upto u - otherwise it looks amazing - Keep up the good work and post a .cab when ur done
Good Luck !
I know, that's what I wanted to do initially, but this damn TestUIPlugin, will NOT let me do two lines of text!! Only thing I could do, is append the current temperature at the end of the forecast blurb... But it wouldn't really make it stand out.

About implementing it to any panels, slim or not...
Hi OrganicM!
Nice job you done with this app.
I took a look at your cab _setup.xml and I was wondering what needs to be changed to the Chome_320x240.cpr for the app to work, since I prefer my chubby panels and its icons and overall layout (just a matter of taste, you know).
Perhaps you could post a little step by step guide for the ones like me who want to implement it by hand, with the needed files in a single compressed file (zip, rar, your choice really, I've already got them from the cab ).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought he intended to post the .cab for the "chubby panels" soon anyway. I am on the same page with you, Cassiano. I like my plump panels, but I'd like to install Organic's .cab too. I don't necessarily wanna change anything in my homescreen layout--aside from including the new weather panel.

Is anyone else have trouble updating the city? I'm trying to get Seattle on here, but it won't find it by name, and if using the zip is keeps showing sunny Las Vagas... That sucks, mainly 'cause it nice there and not here... Thanks.
This thing is awesome. Just what I needed. However, is there a way to remove the photo and media pannel? I tried to edit the XML file but it doesn't change. Any ideas?
Thanks..
Just set the plugins as "disabled" right in the registry.
Updated first post again, this time I added a "last updated" time in the top right corner. This gets updated everytime the weather script runs, so you have an idea how recent the info is.
Alright...for some reason it won't allow my city to be displayed when setting up Weather Watcher. It'll take me to a blank IE screen. I made the change to my city in 'Options', like instructed. Then tried to open 'Update Weather'. It would take me back to the blank IE screen. On the homescreen--the weather sliding panel is blank and just has a sun in it. Is there something I'm not doing?

Are you sure you're spelling it correctly ? Mine finds it right away.
Hello guys, I've never seen a black default background for 6.1, can someone crank this out, I'm currently using the default green one which is cool but I loose a lot of contrast on the top icons, I'm hoping that with a default black background the contrast is more apparent and thus making the top icon bar usable again. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Yeah, I wish I knew where that file is located, can this be done on Windows Paint, I'm kind of a huge rookie but I guess I can try if I can locate the file but hold on, I recall having a blue Sliding Panel background, let me go find that
Then i can get on to it. here is the file in blue
If someone can Photoshop this to a cool looking metallic grey or some similar color that would render the MRU icons with some contrast enough to differentiate among them it would be great

Hi everyone, I just stumbled onto this by mistake.
Are you fed up of the poor quality for the backgrounds in tf3d.
Just do as I did by accident and I hope it works for everyone.
1. Use photoshop create a clear image 480 X 800 pixels
2. Save this image as a .png file (Interlaced) - (Example Clear.png)
3. Transfer this to your HD (Storage card also can)
4. install mun-background4allpages.cab
5. On tf3d settings tab, use "Home Wallpaper" and select that .png file as your background.
6. Soft reset your HD.
If your background turns white after the soft reset, then you have succeeded.
7. Now you can set any picture of 480 X 800 pixels or larger as your background without any loss in quality. (I recommend 800 X800 pixels)
**Note: The default background is automatically changed to your selection every time you set a new background. I have no idea at all why but it is a positive side effect as far as i am concerned.
Please also note that this is something I have stumbled upon while playing with my HD,
I don't know how to undo what I have done !
For your info, the details of my machine:
My ROM is not a cooked ROM. It is the OEM ROM.
ROM version: 1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE
ROM date: 11/24/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U

No need to comment on him like that. Perhaps he found a solution to it by doing that? And so what if he didn't, it isn't a method anybody stated before and atleast he made the effort to share it with us.
Besides, none of this is exactly ''scientific''.

Hi
It won't appear because it is clear.
Just soft reset ur HD and the screen should turn white.
then you can set any images you like and see the result.
good luck.
I regret to inform after following instructions completely...it didn't work. But thanks for sharing though. When I set the picture i thought it was clearer but when I went to album in touch flo, brought up the picture, then clicked the home button, you could see the sharpness go worse.
Lets keep trying though, I don't believe for one minute this phone is not capable of displaying hi res pics. Its just a bugger to figure out lol.
I have seen this question brough up but after looking didn't see any answers. I have tried using the stock mms as well as Handcent and Chomp. I have changed the settings to 1mb but still out going message ends up 7kb to 20kb. The person on the other end gets a picture that you need bottle caps to see.
I did a search on this and found resolves for other phones as well as a simple check your settings but nothing else.
I did come across this link below but don't know of anyone else that has done these steps.

They could save lots of money if people send 16kb MMS instead of 300kb to 2mb which the phone should allow. I think most phones and providers allow 300kb to 1mb.

I am sure if you want to modify the mms.apk, which I looked at and could not find any settings regarding the size limit, you would still have to root your phone and unlock NAND to modify it.

I am opening up grabbing the information off my phone now to dig deeper. If I get anything working I'll repost what I did.

I have seen this question brough up but after looking didn't see any answers. I have tried using the stock mms as well as Handcent and Chomp. I have changed the settings to 1mb but still out going message ends up 7kb to 20kb. The person on the other end gets a picture that you need bottle caps to see.
I did a search on this and found resolves for other phones as well as a simple check your settings but nothing else.
I did come across this link below but don't know of anyone else that has done these steps.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If there is already a thread on this I'm sorry I must have over looked it.

I have the same experience using handcent. Even sending the pic to an email causes the same behavior.
Im surprised by the lack of posts in this thread? Does anybody not have this issue?
I can't even send MMS, for some reason. I get them ok, but sending does nothing. Dont even get an error. Could someone post their APN settings? It is grayed out on my phone, but at least it will tell me if that is the issue.

i guess nobody uses mms? lol i certainly dont haha if i take a picture worth sharing i just upload it to facebook right then and there...i mean we have really fast 3g and if you want super speed use 4g. i was able to upload 25 pictures all at once to facebook using 4g in about 4 mins...
Yeah...haven't sent a MMS since I got the Evo on June 4th...
My Palm Pre (Sprint) was able to send an MP3 to another phone 2-4MB no problem, but this darn phone.... So I know it's possible just gotta find the right segment of code to change.
Wait a second...never heard of this before. So I just ran a test...a 1mpixel photo mms'd to my other phone. Right off the bat it resized it for the message..something about 'photo too large'. But it went so fast I couldn't read whole message.
When I open the sent message, the photo is now only about 2/3's size of the screen and only 70k.
This is crap!
Damn it. Tooke a photo from the Raphael and sent back to Evo. A 3mpixal pic left the Raphael no problem...and showed up on Evo at 60k. WHAT THE HELL?!?!
Calling Sprint first thing. I bailed on the iphone 3g for three major issues. One of which was no MMS. This is huge to me. CRAP.
Here is a thread with mms .apk stuff. I do not have root and still not OTA...so this won't help me yet, but maybe for someone else?
(Hint, they modified mms_config.xml-files ??)
Ok, ran another test today...sent pics from my two phones to a friend...and had her reply with pic from her phone to my two.
Both pics from me were taken at 1mega pixel....she got one at 40k (Raphael) and one at 17k (Evo).
She sent same pic from her camera to both my phones...Raphael got one at 210k (1600*1200) and the Evo got it at 77.9k (640*480).
Now I kinda just glossed over the FPS issue...but now I am seriously getting upset about having my phone with this wonderful screen get messed up shrunken images. I have a high quality camera and I can only send out tiny azz'd pics. Now I have reached the point of being upset with a super/smart phone that has been crippled.
You gotta love how they have great specs on the phone and the programmatically dummy it down.

I thought it was only me. I hate sending a 720p photo abs the person I send them to replies with...."the photo is really small" and yes the phone does resize the images. It blows
bump on this mms does suk on the evo
Yes it does suck I sent an 8mp photo to a friend and I swear it looked like she got a cif res photo
I brought this up in the store last week...they just kinda went...'Uh huh.' Seemed like they knew but weren't interested in discussing.
We need to hack this as it seems ONLY the Evo does the pre-resizing and then Sprint's system has an auto resize on tope off that.
I am learning android as fast as I can....as this doesn't seem to bug a lot of people...and I'll just have to look at it myself.
(Unless someone else knows more?)
Here's a workaround until I can actually find how to fix it in the HTC version(I've only been able to decrease image quality so far )

MMS Resizing on EVO
Hey - I know the last post was 3 days ago... Just wondering if anyone made any headway on it? I'm going to go to the last link that was posted for the AOSP MMS program, but it looks like there might be some issues with it... Rather stick with stock SMS/MMS program without any of the issues... And have this darn resizing thing fixed. It's a load of bull.
The most advanced phone on the market and seems to be the most limited when it comes to doing what it's made for! Being a multimedia device! I feel horrible sending someone a picture the size of my thumbnail when they can send me something that can be zoomed in 10x without any deterioration lol.
Def lookin forward to hearing what you find @Caulkin.
Hi,
So Im trying to imitate this guys setup, which apparently not only has links to external source such as high quality movie releases, its nicely presented where you highlight the movie and it shows as a directory tree with a thumbnail popping up for each movie in the lower left corner. Im assuming he has programed this with AEON skin, that much i've gathered, but i'd like to know how he gets it to change with each movie or tv show its pointing to...the video is long approx 49 minutes. Im not looking to imitate him to sell these units, i'd just like to streamline and set mine up like this...any input would be appreciated....

Legolas2 can you expand what is Lowlist, I cant find anything on it....guys...no one knows how this guy has his unit setup?...there has to be a way to have it categorized so nicely where you scroll over the label and see a nice thumbnail on it and its in sort order of the best movies ect..from that site? Im assuming its some sort of site scraper? Lets use the example at the 2:50 mark in the video skymovies premiere and catagorizes the genres and underneath it shows the title and the thumbnails change..and if you go up one level it shows Boxoffice, views, popular, added, trending, channels and then if you click on them it shows the names of the movies, with the backgrounds changing to a scene in the movie, each one different. Im sure someone knows how this is setup...if its Lowlist can anyone point me in the right direction, with maybe a how to guide? thanks...
Looks like that's using the GoMovies plugin, with a highly customized setup of Nox offering up a bunch of extra menus.
Looks like an overcomplicated mess to me...

I am more curious is how he found over 100 stupid people to pay over double what the device is worth just for access to bootleg movies.

I think you answered your question :laugh:
They're just making it look that good because they are trying to sell devices, your best bet for performance is to stick with the default skin to be honest.
