I have installed this on SD without remove the original version (4.00).
Copy or rename Camera.exe.040c.mui to Camera.exe.0409.mui (or Camera.exe.0410.mui)
Configure on Setting GPSID (External GPS):
GPS Program Port = GPD8
GPS Hardware Port = (the port of GPS BT Paired ,ie..COM0)
Verify EXIF data with Picasa2.
TyTN with WM6 lvsw 20070315 .

Yeah I'm running that myself. It's nice to have the GPS feature. It also lets you take photos using the front camera as well as the back (finally a built in use other then video calls) though the pictures aren't great so I use the 2mp cam instead. Still nice to have it. Also, new overlay templetes. The only thing I need to change on it is reports the photo as being taken on a Dopod (gotta fix it to read Hermes or TyTN) - haven't looked - it was probably in the registery entries I imported and didn't even bother to look

404 - Not Found did i miss anything?

Hi guys at last some body talking about the camera, what I took notes about apart from the not a very good focus camera on the Tytn, I don't know if is a problem with the flash that is not synchronized with the shutter ,because if you take a picture ,has got the same light ,like it was before the high intensity beam that shine when some body press the camera button.If some of you gurus came have a .cab or fix were we can adjust the synchronization of the shutter with the beam will be wonderful.Thanks

When I choose 2nd camera on Dopod 838PRO, it will hang all times. How should I do? Can the new camera program version take photo by 2nd camera on Herms?

It did that for me too when I was trying to run it from my SDCard. When I replaced the internal version with it, it worked no problem. Dont forget to import the new reg settings!

The worst is this version cann't use FLASH Light because it's from D810.....
Anybody can help

haiya.. import the registry ma..
no strobe light function.

Hmm - never noticed - the flash is so weak I never use it - practically useless (imho). As a (lame) work around, if you really need a flash, you could use VJ canella to turn it on, take the pic and then turn it off?

I extracted the camera application from the latest Trinity ROM and it got several problems so I give it up. For example, Video function doesn't run and the photos taken with MMS mode are full of garbage. I believe that the Trinity camera is physically diferent to the Hermes one and the DLL's cannot be shared.
This version from Dopod got the same problems so I don't reccomend it. At least, if you use the files from the Trinity, you can use the flash.

The file is not working
I downloaded this file on 3 dif computers and they all say the zipped file is corrupt, is there something im missing?

Hi,
I’ve just upgraded my SPV 3100 with Camera 4.02, seams that something is wrong witch colors !
To get near to real colors, I must set contrast, hue to max setting ??!!! and the colors are far from those which I got in previous version of camera software.
BTW the sepia effect is BLUE ???!!! & it’s impossible to use front camera
Did anyone got similar problems ??
Is there somewhere “old” HTC camera software available ???
I prefer avoid of hard reset

If you have installed the 4.02 version on SD the previous version 4,00 she still works like before.
Simply launch the program camera.exe from \windows.
The two versions coexist.
BTW : Camera400.zip from LVSW 20070408.

I think it is not possible, coz vcandella uses driver/hardware to put light on, but at the same time is not possible to do this on two programs. you can use light with vcandella or with original camera application. try to use vcandella and run camera - I think error message will appear - hardware is used or something like that...

Yes, you're missing a normal archiving program. I'm guessing you use Windows' builtin "Compressed Folder" crap - it doesn't work with all ZIP files. Try WinZip or WinRAR or IZArc, the latter being completely free (I use it).

Front camera with skype?

I don't know if it is the right place to put an idea or suggestion...sorry if it not
the tytn1 have a camera in the front, but it can be used only by VOIP calling, so it is possible to make a program or some change in hte configuration or in WM that allow us to use this camera in another applications (for example messenger or skype). I don't know if it is possible or not but i don't know too much of programs.
thank you!
Walter
(PD: sorry but my english is not good)

hm nice idea.
I´m also interested in ! Is it possible to make normal photos with the front camera?

On skype website (more precisely on the helping forum) they explained that it was probably impossible to use the video calling on pda phone, because of some problems of data compression (the video is compressed before it is send, and pda processors aren't fast enough to do it), and they wouldn't change everything in their software, to make it compatible between PC and pda worlds.
For now at least...
Sorry about that, it would be a nice feature with our Hermes.

help

Hi everybady !
I am new here.My son give me his HTC Hermes(att 8525) and I need your help.
First I want to know is there a room very stable and faster,with no to much app. and programs.Some of rooms wich I use blackt my phone and connect automaticly with data connection when I disconnect of wi-fi (I don't have data plan and I use only wi-fi in home and in work)
I like full scren foto for contacts,you tube,opera mini,weather.and maps.
I hope is somebody to help me.
Thanks in advance:

hi,there are many great roms here,i think every one is good.
you can test the roms by joshkoss /TAI_Sw /kareem9nba/abusalza / farres
but these roms don't include all apps that u like.
you can find them in the forum.
[31Oct08] WM6.1 TOUCH Build20924 V27 from Dvha79_ddt [Basic & Full] NetCF3.5 is very ood

ok
Thank you monkeyfocus !
I will start test these rooms.

HARD SPL YOUR DEVICE 1st!!!!!
Do some reading so we won't see your 3rd post with a title like "HELP, bricked Hermes".
Try this - http://www.mrvanx.org/guide/hermes/upgrades/hardspl
and this - http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=13&Itemid=28
Its better to know a bit about the risks first than to jump out of a plane then realise you forgot your parachute,,,,,

Also,there is a ROM request thread where you can ask for a ROM that has what you want.

Thank's both of you.
I check and I already have hardspl.

I'd suggest you try an M2d rom... M2D has got everything you need in an easy to use UI except fullscreen contacts n works really great if you dont install alot of programs. I saw a nice one with a really nice matching fingerfriendly contacts app too.

After I had try some rooms with touch build or M2D, with miscellaneous problems each every one,and especially last night with V15 dark winter G2 when I almost lost my phone,I decide to use CRC-13.3 normal.
To now this room works very good and I think to keep it.Here is device update with good app or programs.
I really wants full screen contacts and I don't know work with these room and where can I find it ?
Regards !

I personally like the CRC roms. They have a lot of room for additional programs, are very stable and fast. They don't come with much so you need to find programs you like and add them. His roms are UC Complaint (a script that will install all the cabs you have specified upon flashing).
For full screen foto for contacts use icaller. It's free. Search for it using the "search using google" feature. Plus the author gives a lot of support. It's also easy.
Opera Mini is free. Check out JZ's Browser which will allow you to use all the browsers you want with ease.
The easiest free weather program is http://tonaya.com/products/wtg/index.php here. It works, doesn't take up much space but doesn't have all the fancy icons either. It does have a today screen plugin. There are others such as SPB, Secil (free and here on this site), which are more graphic intensive and work well.
Google Maps is free. Just go to google and download the latest one.
If you want youtube and music I suggest CorePlayer. It isn't free, but it's worth it since it will work with bluetooth stereo headsets, play all type of movie files (avi, divx, mkv, mov, wma, etc..) and all types of music files (mp3, lossless mp3, etc...) and has a built in youtube player.
These are my suggestions. Also if you want to have a lot of space after flashing your rom stay away from the manilla/touchflo 2d roms. They all come with tons of programs and don't leave a lot of space to install other programs.
Remember to read what the others have suggested before flashing so you don't brick your phone. CID/SIM unlock it with HardSPL before you flash a custom rom. It's easy and instruction manuals are available. Also if you flash a BIG Storage Rom later, follow Dr. Puttingham's direction of flashing a stock rom, a new radio and then the custom rom you chose to avoid the phone being unstable. You get a lot more internal storage so it's worth the extra 10 minutes.
Lastly, please read, search, ask questions and learn. Beyond that get the biggest microsd card you can to store all the great programs and goodies you will accumulate. 16gb are out now but the 8gbs are a great starting point space and price point wise.
Peace and welcome to XDA-Devs.

Just remember with the UC compliance, any app installed by the script is installed to the phone memory, NOT the sd card...

Hello!
Yes,and I like CRC roms and it is working good and from device update I finde
opera mini,google maps and some other good app.
I think I made my minde for these room.
Thanks all of you for helping and advice me.

dual boot android winows

Hi i saw someware that the hd2 had dual boot windows and android.
as i use android i find it dosnt do all the things i want like tomtom, skype, divx/wmv, allowing you to save apps to the sd card etc, etc basically every thing i used my old phone for so i was wondering before i try n swap this back to a windows based device if there was a dual boot rom or somthing. thanks.

Every week at least one person asks this question. At the moment no, it can't be done. Furthermore, Windows Mobile sucks. I like hacking and modding my phone as much as the next person but can't understand why anybody would want this.
You can save your apps to sd card in Froyo. Instead of tomtom you have Google Nav, which is free. For divx and wmv playback install rockplayer which is also free. Perhaps you have a point on Skype though.
By the way the dual boot on the touch HD is not a "real" dual boot and doesn't run Android natively, it still boots Windows Mobile first and then just autoruns an Android launcher from the SD card.

Thanks for the reply i have to say i like tomtom alot more then google maps, skype are useless but i have credit on there and everyone is on it so free skype to skype calls, i am glad for the info on rockplayer i was under the impression all players were front end only and miss coreplayer as i dont wanna sit around converting vids all day ya know.
yay rockplayer rurles thank you whats the best voip alternative to skype ?
Is that the official froyo release will let me save to sdcard so if i unroot and flash back to original htc rom i can have official froyo with saving to sd card ? thats great if i read you right wares the original rom lol oopsi...
i know windows sucks but my experience with android hasnt completely impressed either. thanks for the reply and the info though mate its truly appretiated
oh and have great weekend

for voip try sipdroid

thank you i will do but if it sucks can i giv you a chinese burn ?

You will have to root if you have not done so already do get froyo. It's easy and painless. You will also need to flash a new radio to use these roms or you will get white noise and echo on the line. There's a good selection of froyo roms now in the dev section on this board since the HTC build with Sense was leaked.
Once you have froyo you can either default apps to install to the sd card, or you can go into Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Select App, press "move to sd card"

Very new to the htc desire but have been into voip for a good few years, give 3cxphone a try for voip too. Found the sound quality really good and its easy to set up.

for navigation copilot is great. For skype you can use nimbuzz... use google or bing or ask searches... its not that difficult to find stuff.

Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S2 questions before buying

I have a bb9700 and my wife has the htc sensation and galaxy vibrant. We are interested in buying the SG2 and wanted to know what would be the best options and apps to use to print wirelessly from the phone to our printer (canon). Also My wife uses the Blueant bluetooth headset and has issues with the htc sensation. Has anybody used this particular headset with this phone and can share their experience?
Can someone help with finding ways to activate the notification light on the tmobile SG2 just like the Sprint one?
Should i uprade my SD card to avoid lag when opening the gallery on the phone? I still have my 16 gig from my HTC Hd2 (when it came out).
I plan on using amazon cloud service for multimedia (movie, music, videos, pictures), can someone share if it is worth it?
Does google video chat works with this device?
My wife and i speak english and have a french accent, will this be a problem when using the voice feature on this phone? is it possible to change the language from english to french for the voice feature?
Sounds like a lot of questions but i will appreciate your help since i need these questions answered before buying this phone.
I played with the device in the store but could not modify the phone to test my needs.
Thanks

printing
i use this one
Samsung MobilePrint
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.print.mobileprint
i have a networked Samsung Colour Lazer printer, so it's easy for me to send the print job there from the Office Apps or photos in the phone
i know HP also have their own software
HP ePrint Home & Biz
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hp.android.print
but there are 3rd party printer apps for Android as well if you check on market
I'll be surprised if Canon doesn't have one, they will soon, else they'll be losing business to the other guys
NVM found it...
Canon Easy-PhotoPrint
https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.canon.bsd.android.aepp.activity

language
...man... it would have been easier to have each of those questions in a separate topic
re: accent, yes you can change the language, and it will detect it better
chance the phone language to match your strongest tone
in my case i use it mostly in Spanish, although most apps and games are 80% english only
at least the OS is smart enough to understand voice commands in Spanish, grab dictation and stuff properly
set your keyboard to be French in your case, to match the OS language to French
Vlingo has language option as well

sd card
lag from the photo gallery are not very influenced by the SD card
obviously the faster the SD card the better for data transfer
but the photo gallery keeps cached thumbnails, so if it lags, it will only be the first time when it builds up the thumbnails cache on your first run, or for the new pictures taken

AllGamer,
thank you so much for your answers. Sorry for piling all my concerns in one question.
Can you tell me about how i can activate the notification light on the phone just like htc and blackberry have on their phones? I have been spoiled by that feature and i am eager to find how to make it work (if possible).
