I love Vignette and all (wish it was more optimized to use the hardware truth be told) but I miss the iPhone app that I once had that did the 4 frame Lomography effect.
Forgot the name, but it had Toy Camera effects, and you can choose either 4/8/16 frame shots. It almost replaced my DSLR at times. It would shoot one frame right after another, and you can set it to either capture each frame at a specified interval like say .25sec.
Would anyone know here of such an app for Android?
Example of Lomography at the following link:
amazon.com/Lomography-Action-Sampler-4-lens-Camera/dp/B0001HM7NU
---
Update: Here's the App, but only for the iPhone at the moment: artandmobile.com/quadcamera/
FxCamera does a similar effect as well as Warhol, Fisheye and Polaroid (for those "readers wives" shots)
Retro Camera has some nice effects as well, both are on in the app store for free
Edit oh and Camera 360 has festoons of features including HDR
Thanks for the recommendations, although what I do seek for is a Lomography effect (in the Amazon link) that QuadCamera for the iPhone effectively does. I wouldn't mind paying for such an app.
4/8 stills mashed to one image with each sub-image slightly later than the first. The stuff you can do is simply astounding only limited by ones' creativity.

So is there such an app for the android? I'm also trying to look for an app similar to the QuadCamera for my x10!
Vignette now has the quad frame option
Thanks for the update on this! It should be one of the many features promoted by the developers. I contacted the guy who made the QuadCam app and asked him if he was going to be developing for Android and I pretty much got ignored. Delving further it seems that the dev's a bit of an Apple fanboy.
Testing out the new Vignette feature, its a lot of work compared to the QuadCam app. At least that's something.
Slightly off topic considering it has little to do with the HTC One X and more to do with Tegra 3... but: caught this little gem yesterday http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console
Basically it's a quad-core Tegra 3 board (I'm presuming it has the ninja core as well) with these features:
1GB of RAM
8GB of internal flash storage
HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth LE 4.0
USB 2.0 (one)
Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad (add $30 per extra controller)
Android 4.0 < more Tegra 3 love in other words
And the price is $119 shipped! ($99 if you live in America, which I guess, considering the nature of the product that has brought us together, less of you guys do than is common for forums )
So I guess what this means for us (other than a pretty epic deal on a very cool gadget) is that there will be more Tegra 3-based games being developed in the future, and generally more Tegra 3-based Linux development! Congratulations everyone!
Cheap console, cheap games, good graphics - recipe for like Nintendo era again :good:
Oh man!
That thing is gonna be awesome!!
maybe one should throw 225$ at them!
Ouya gaming console raises $2 million on Kickstarter, doesn't know what to do with it
When we first detailed the Ouya $99 Android-based game console yesterday, we had a feeling it would become a hot property over at Kickstarter. But still, there's no way we anticipated this: the project has just raised $2 million in its first day, having sped past its initial $950,000 goal within a record-breaking 12 hours. Now, in an email to backers, the project has asked for feedback on its "stretch goals" -- in other words, what it should do if it makes even more cash and is able to set its sights on loftier ambitions. If you're a backer then check your email, if you're a potential backer then check the source link, and if you're a traditional VC then weep.

just watched the video
very impressive effort
so now we have Nvidia's THD initiative, Nexus 7, PS Mobile and Ouya
who needs overclocked Mali
consider this, how many devices will be based on mali? vs how many containing T3? you do the math
If you ask me Nvidia low cost to the masses tegra policy seems to be working like magic
It reminds me of this article Tegra 3's Graphics: Untapped Potential?
Saw this yesterday from a gaming site, it looks impressive. Might pick one up just for an emulator fact.
If I'm correct they said this device came easy to root and install anything you wanted. I'm excited to see this run.

Honestly I think we can expect better graphics from this thing than the Wii! I'd like an ethernet port or 802.11ac WLAN though, 802.11n often isn't enough for 1080p content.
I saw this yesterday too. They hit their budget/investment requirement in hours! Its not a surprise as its a really really great idea if implemented well. People love gaming on tvs and since almost everyone owns one, picking up a console like this is very affordable. Its price beats most consoles on the market. Forget consoles, even Tegra3 smartphones such as the HOX and others.
On a side note good for gamers on the hox as it will definitely push the THD powered games market means more and better THD games on the market can possible come.

there is one more important thing
T3 will not be left to dust unlike T2
TV consoles last for years and so no dev can simply neglect optimizing for it
if they collected backers this fast, imagine the sales for this thing
however i doubt they will hit their price point
they will also face another issue by the time this thing launches, T4 will start shipping and hence you have an outdated platfrom on day 1 and it won't keep up with the incredible pace of mobile

they linked to this video from their spec list
i imagine Gameloft is starting to panick after all the hate they collected in Tegra3 owners

Actually now that you mention it and I think more, it could be as small or basic as a Rasberry Pi PC with a little bit more. But thats taking the price into consideration. If they really aim at 99$ or so thats how I would do it.
A small device with basic functionality such as wifi(necessary as console gamers won't be downloading .apks and such they would buy directly from play store) output for tv and input for controllers. Obviously the mainboard and some memory and a few usb ports but nothing extra.

I haven't really looked up on Tegra2 but you sound like it just died. Tegra3 on the other hand is a huge success imo. HOX, Nexus 7, Ouya, etc. like you mentioned. The Tegra3+ they plan to release won't be as successful imo.

the 5th core can be used in a console differently to drive the UI and free the other cores for their main job
their release date is march
dunno its starting to feel we are going backwards after all the advancing we made with the PS3/Xbox360
why do we need this when the next gen is around the corner?
T3 makes sense in a mobile but as a console i dunno
I nearly brought this I even entered my details then cancelled.
This is why I wanted it- cheap and more than likely be worth more than the money you pay for it. It looks great.
The reason why I cancelled is yes games on my phone are great but personally I don't think they compare to a console.
I don't see a lot of devs making games expecially for this either. I just see this playing phone or tablet games on my tv.
I can do this already if I buy a cable for my phone and use a bluetooth controller.
I hope they do well as more tegra 3 games for us would be great

I don't think ouya is really aiming at the hardcore gaming market, the Wii came around the same time as the Xbox 360 and the PS3, yet it wasn't nearly as good, that's because they went for the casual and younger gamer, and their needs are very likely both met and exceeded by the Tegra 3.
And yeah, 5th core could power background tasks like say a chat network similar to what Xbox live has.

You do realise that you don't buy things on Kickstarter right, you fund projects, and your money wouldn't have been taken from your bank account until the 9th of August.

so far im puzzled as their attitude toward the T3
if you look at the A7 config files, its detecting the game as "medium_android" with almost everything off, not a single reference to tegra
its as if it doesn't exists

i would take the N7 instead with a blind eye but google shot it in the legs by removing MHL support
its just hit me! this thing will fly!
OnLive and this are a match made in heaven, but I think they need an Ethernet port
the more I think of it the more I feel tegra3 is just ingenious, yes the sgs3 processor is stronger and the snapdragon 4 is more efficient
but we r missing the point, t3 is ingenious because of its older process and low cost nature, as well as prism, direct touch, lp core and amazing media abilities
add to this a ready gaming centric SDK and u can see why they r selling them like hot cakes
as a whole t3 is the best solution out there, its unique, capable and well supported
I dont think qualcomm has a chance of catching up this round
when NV ceo answered we will release quad first and then devs will figure out how to u use it, he was spot on!

Dont be fukin stupid. Why would anyone buy a device which can do less than my PC, and less than my phone....
Of course the kids are clamoring about these for christmas but I wanted to get input from you actual owners about what things you could do with your note 4 with either one.
I know with the ps3 you could stream video I believe but I'm not familiar with these new consoles.
I own a ps4. There's a playstation companion app that you can use a sort of a touchpad (with limited capabilities), as well as start downloads etc from the playstation store from the phone. I used to own a Xbox 360 but I feel the smart glass app for the Xbox one is more feature rich than the playstation offering. That being said both apps have their limitations and do not make or break the console experience. As far as extra features such as media streaming (from you device) believe it or not the ps3 has both of them beat, Google it. Just go for whatever console you feel is better in terms of games because there are no killer features (well Sony xperia phones can do second screen remote play but it's only for Sony phones) as of yet.

cant beat Xbox SmartGlass
also they update this app so often with features it nuts. there is also a Beta version to try stuff as they test it HERE
also i just broke 1,000 posts and just realized it. i need to seriously look at my time here
Xbox 1
I don't have a ps4 but the xbox smartglass app works great for the 360 or the xbox one.
Each console has a separate app.
So I've seen some VR 3D glasses that are made for smart phones by 3rd party companies, for example: Colorcross 3D,Ritech3D,etc...!!! is there any disadvantages compare to Gear VR? or its just the same without the Samsung logo on it?
Also, will the Gear VR apps also work with those 3rd party made glasses? Have you had experience using them before?
Ive been using Google Cardboard. Works just the same. I found that flying around in Google Earth gave me that real sense of immersion. Almost too well! Even on the cardboard. I think the flashier products just have a bit better polish to them, but in the end they all do the same thing. Its just some cost literally nothing (cardboard) and others 200+ bucks. idk.

How about the Gear VR apps ? can you run those with the 3rd party glasses as well?
Gear VR is just a set of goggles. The apps run on your phone., so if your using your phone with Cardboard, then you can use the apps with it as well. Google cardboard has an integrated button to activate things on menus like the Gear VR touchpad. So basically you can think of Cardboard as a cheap version of the Gear VR goggles. To my knowledge there is no added functionality on the Gear VR that makes it "special". Maybe it has a little better optics.
To be honest, once you mess with google cardboard for like 30 min, youll begin to get tired of the limited apps that are available for these things. Its nothing like using an Oculus Rift with a PC.

Thats exactly what i was thinking!!.... the main purpose of it as right now is probably watching movies(which i dont really watch movies anyway).... and i dont think Note 4 is powerful enough to have Games with outstanding graphics, which makes it not that great for my personal use....
so i think purchasing an oculus rift in the future would be a better investment!!..... which i believe it still needs a lot of work!!...maybe 2-3 yrs from now?i dunno....
Totally. Oculus Rift would be a much better investment. After having read this thread I went around looking at the vast number of "Hackulus Rift" or "Oculus Thrift" ideas out on youtube. All told, you can get something similar to the Oculus Rift with some custom software and a Note 4. But in the end both latency and complexity will make it not worth it. Besides, like you said, the amount of games available right now that allow for the Oculus Rift are few, and if your using a home-built system, it may just sour your impressions of VR altogether. Consumer version of the Rift is going to be released in time for the holiday season, and I think that there will be many awesome games ready by then along with some better accessories for full body capture. Kickstarter has so many awesome projects happening right now that allow the use of your entire body in-game including fingers! So in short, save your money because come this Xmas, youll prob want to drop a cool $1-2k on vr gaming stuffs.
