Guys,
Amongst you are there any developers that know the inner workings of the HTC Camera Application and the Aperture Speed etc of the touch HD and Diamond... in addition does anyone know of any documents that clearly outline which cmos sensor is used by each phone?
Strange request I know but if somebody can point me in the right direction that would be superb.

Hello.
Is there any way to obtain the TouchFLO usability from the new HTC Touch, into Universal? I don't think there are any hardware changes as to how the screen handles finger moves and clicks.
Maybe any plans on a new WM6 Rom for Universal that might support it?
If yes, would it be the whole Touch interface, including dark gray apearance, etc?
Thanks people.
EDIT: Just read about the first TouchFlo Rom (Ivan i Think), but there is lack of feedback as for the usability of the Touch feature, or the dark grey today theme/caller apearance... Any help?
there are hardware changes
Yep, the hardware of HTC touch is different which enables it to do some 'gestures' on the screen. So, all we can 'taste' is the today plugin which it uses
Thank you both for your responses. Midlet, I have user your ROMs before.
However, I don't understand what the changed might be, since "drag n' drop" finger actions are possible in Universal or any other PPC (for example, using the finger to move an icon in some other place, on "Spb Pocket Plus Today Plugin"...
Any specific info on Why "HTC Touch" is different (apart from the LCD protective material which -just a guess- may be a little more matte, in order for the finger to easily move on it) on this device?
Still, I can't figure out why a finger gesture needs extra/changed hardware. I would understand it if it accepted more than one touches at the same time, but this?...
Thanks...
hi were can i download the cab file for the today pluggin screen like from touch?
you might try this http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/2...pocket-pc.html but you need to have WM6 installed. You are not alone others want this interface as well. I have the same question in the Universa general forum
when i click the link it wont forward me. wats the search name of the pluggin? thanks

Hi
Anyone seen a simple digital compass that uses the GPS and G-Sensor?
I know there are loads of GPS apps that provide a compass and, of course, the HD will need some initial directional input to get a compass bearing. But, after that start-up would it not be possible to provide a compass movement based on the G-Sensor ?
Thanks, D.
You mean that the g-sensor could sense the magnetic field on earth? That would be great but a think its a bit optimistic.
I cant figure out why such advanced devices dont have a digital compass. A map+gps used for walking is almost useless when you dont have a compass, and the gps can only give you a bering at a sertain speed (usually faster than walking)
Noop - that was not what I meant - sorry if not clear.
What I mean is the G-Sensor is able to detect direction of the device. So, once the HD has got some compass bearing (using the GPS after travelling for a while) then the G-Sensor should be able to provide a compass bearing?
The main problem is getting that initial bearing. After than the G-Sensor should allow the HD to keep track of bearings?
my opinion : inside the HD, it's just G sensors (able to "feel" where is the weight of the device pointing, ie "where is the center of the earth").
What you describe could be achieved with (and i would say at least 2, 3 being even better) ACCELEROMETERS, devices able to MEASURE accelerations. THEN it would be able to follow a bearing after giving it an initial one. (what you describe looks actually like the basic function of how airplanes IRS, Inertial Reference Systems, works. Which is a major instrumentation for aircraft navigation, comprising 3 accelerometers ).
My suggestion on a compass was initiated by seeing the funny (but useless!) Diamond Saber - star wars laser sword.
Playing with that more carefully on a flat surface indicates that maybe you're right that the "G Sensor" is not a full 3D accelerometer implementation. Or, maybe the software for this silly but fun light saber is not accessing the rotation details ??
The alternative is just the old watch and sun trick !

Thinking about this today I realised that the idea is probably not sensible !!
Everytime you switch the phone off when using a "possible compass" then it will need a new bearing. So, best just to stick with the "normal" GPS applications.
Hi!
Does anyone know about an app or a program to Blackstone that can give us this effect?

you've to buy an iphone if you want this i don't think this exist because f it was, xda's was publish it, maybe i'm false
Is not only that IPhone ZOOM I like.
what about the IPhone Browser zoom, has anyone got a solution for the HTC TOUCH HD?
No one's know?
hi everyone, i think the text zoom is possible but the browser and the picture zoom isn't, cause for the browser zoom you need to multi touch and our hd doesn't support that or am i wrong?
You'r right
PLEAS SOME1, MAKE US THE "IPHONE ZOOM" !
Its brilliant!
try vito zoomboard

No ! It sucks.
It would be wonderfull someone making this iPhone text zoom, but i am still thinking no one will succed making it,or it would already be out, cuz it's a GOOD point of the iPhone !
the htc touch diamond is multi touch , not much software for the function, but im sure its possible to make the app.
Multitouch is (kind of) possible on Windows Mobile.
When you tap at two points at the same time the press is recognized in the middle. Using this you can add fake multitouch. Here's a little example how it could look like
http://www.wikifortio.com/867906/Multitouch test.py
It's written in Python so you need Python CE with TkInterhttp://pythonce.sourceforge.net/
It is far from perfect because you can only move the second finger that you pressed and it's laggy(probably because of my programming abillitys) and it does nothing more than showing colored circles where you press.
But with the right programming knowledge you could make a zoom just like in the Iphone browser.
WM does not support multi-touch.
I only said something about fake multitouch
Hi,
i am totally new to xda-developers and also to windows mobile, so if i make mistakes please just tell me and dont make trouble i will learn from my mistakes
i have the HTC Touch pro 2 and i actual am discovering my posibillities how to tune up my phone.
But now my question:
the cametra of this device and its autofokus ist not very good. i have to hold the phone really save without any movement to get a sharp image. any move of less than an millimeter and the picture is unsharp (sorry for my bad english, i am german) .
also another fact gets on my nerves:
the time from hitting the button till the autofocus ist ready to shoot ist much too long.
is there any way to switch of the autofocus on the HTC Toch pro 2 and to tune up the camera? i know of different drivers for the dcamera of the diamond so are there better drivers than the original htc driver for the touch pro II too?
with the original settings and drivers the phone is just good to make pictures with an tripod- but to make snapshots the camera isnt useful.
if i posted in the wrong area please move this post and tell me ´bout what i did wrong.
thank you fr your help folks and greetings from germany, bochum.
First of all welcome to XDA. This is the proper forum for your question.
I have not played with the TP2 camera yet as mine is in shipping, however my Kaiser (the predecessor) of the TP2 had an adjustment in the camera set up to change the time between pushing the button and when picture would be taken. There were also other settings that can be changed such as sound etc.
One thing I did find with the autofocus is that if the light is low it takes a long time to get a focus.
I would be interested to see if there is a better driver for the camera. I know on my kaiser I used Navadi's camera and album ripped from another phone. If there is a better one out there I am sure someone will point us in the right direction.
Enjoy your stay, read lots before asking and all will be well. People here are very helpful provided the question is intelligent and properly asked. If you show them you have tried to find an answer they will help you get what you have missed.
hey,
thanks for your fast answer. well, i am very interested in everything arround mobile phones. i made some mods for the motorola razr v3 and i also will start to discover my possibilities for working with windows phone 6.5- and yes, i will read much here. if i will have infos that might be interesting for people here you can be sure i´ll post them here.
well- ´bout the camera- i will stay searching. maybe i can find some ways to make it better
can u giv me the linkk for the camera driver i cant find 1
I know that the TP2 come with different kind of sensors (ambient light, proximity, g-sensor) and wonder if we could make the most out of them.
There are lot of programs out there which make use of the g-sensor to rotate screen and so on.
What about the ambient light and proximity sensor? I have not come across any programs using them...
When I drive for example, I listen to music using my TP2. I can't really change the tracks since I am driving. I was thinking may be the proximity
sensor could help...
Eg. 1. Waving the hand in front of the sensor would move to the next track.
2. Leaving the hand in front of the sensor after few seconds would pause the music...
These are just simple ideas and I think many of you guys reading this will come with great ideas (even for the light sensor)....
My point for this post is that does anyone have/or can create API's for these sensors (It would be great if they were in .NET compact, would make life easier for developping apps.)
I am sorry for posting this in the ROM section but I think by posting it there, it will attract the attention of the ROM cooks, who I think would have come across these sensors and might have thought of doing something special with them

TouchLockPro
Check out TouchLockPro by ZuinigeRijder - it uses all the sensors of the Touch Pro 1 and 2 and the source code is freely available
Except the proximity sensor - it didn't know it had one...

sensorapi for .net
Thanks for that but the sensor API for .net does not support proximity sensors. Anyone knows how to deal with proximity sensors?
