We needed the same thing last week. The company that built the software (IAstyle, http://www.iastyle.com) got bought by HTC recently, and it doesn't look like they'll be selling much any time soon.
and one would resell or offer this api? it will help a lot the comunity

Uhh I NEED THAT too
If anybody sdk or any clue how internaly camera comunicates... (does it use direct show system?)
LET ME KNOW pls!
I will try to use classic trick by capturing screen buffer while picture soft is running...
then my soft will put it to jpg remove jpg header and in sequence it will send it to my video stream server which then distributs it on broadband computer to more users which they will see something like this http://spaced.no-ip.com
however camera has 1 bug its picking up GSM-GPRS signal induction lines... anyway there is always way around it.[/quote]
i need the camera specification, to caputure images using my application. But there's no way for achieving this information.
please, if someone have the idea or where i can ask for....

do you think that these drivers will work on an xda2?

Hey everyone
Saw a few people were looking for a patched version of the ScanSearch application that ships with LG phones (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912217). I popped open reflector and modified it enough that it now launches on my non LG device.

@mods: if you want me to take the link down, please edit this out. PM me if the link disappears
Cheers
Oh, just so you know, you will have to use this tool to install it. You will need to tick the "Replace assembly signatures" and "Remove DRM" options for it to work correctly.
now thats a great app, thanks

All apps I have tested yesterday on my OMNIA 7.
Deploy them with Xap Deployer V1.4 and mark the checkboxes...
Can you patch Panorama Shot too?
hm, it always direcing to east is bad..but otherwise its a great app...perhaps you can fix the issue of it always facing east?
Yes in scan search, compass does not work on hd2 hd7. stays in one direction.
Should be possible to make some kind of bridge that intercepts the calls to the non-existent LG driver and return it meaningful compass data, right? I don't quite have the knowledge to do it myself, but if you can mess with it enough so that it doesn't check if it's on an LG phone, it should be possible to direct it at a different DLL...
I don't get it, it's missing all the features but one.
The app can also scan CDs, books, movie posters, bar codes, etc. and none of that is here. It should have a list of icons on the left hand side to toggle between these, yet when installed on HD7 and Focus, it's all gone (I have LG Quantum too, so I can compare).

This functionality might have been implemented in an update? The only XAP I got to patch was the v1.0.0.0 ripped from the ROM. If you have a newer XAP, and post it, I'll be all to happy to update my site and post.
Strike that, I did patch the latest version. Will look into it.
Patched it, download from the same URL as before. It was a carrier check, meaning that only certain US Carriers could access those features. Now granted all devices the same supportedFeatures value.
If someone has a way of getting the orientation of other devices, I'm happy to give it a go, see if I can tweak it to a degree.
doesnt work, additional features are still not available for barcodes etc.
won't install on my focus
There's a Samsung Compass Homebrew library out there, which might be usable for this app with a bit of hacking. I've never tried it, though. Download the source for the "Functional Webserver" and it's in there.
as there is a htc compass app out now there, too.
someone interested in making a scansearch app with support for all devices?
ScanSearch is nice... Panorama shot is man oh man... so much better. I would say of the bunch its is the best... Also I get a manifest error...

yeah panorama shot is awesome app
why is none else able to code such thing...
wheres the files?
Works on my Dell Venue Pro....
Thanks : D
Edit: it loads, but it lok like it hasn't got access to the compass, because moving the phone does not move the compass in the scansearch app...
Hi guys.
Who wanted a free barcode scanner? Here we are...
No network connection needed; app based on zxing library and Kevin Marshall's (from Clarity Consulting, can't remember his blog url now) code.
I just slightly modified the original code and added a few (probably useful but not sure ) services.
App interface is very simple: run application, focus on barcode, and wait until code is recognized. Touch handset screen to run recognition again.
Buttons description:
- "Save" saves captured barcode to jpeg;
- "Bing" and "Google" used for barcode web lookup (probably this part needs more work)
- "Mail" and "SMS" used for sending recognized code text.
Enjoy!
UPDATE 1: v 1.1, auto focus added;
UPDATE 2: v 1.2, orientation-less UI added, project moved to opensource at googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/barcodescan/
UPDATE 3: v 1.2.1, slightly changed autofocus logic, now works better on HTC. Download link: http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner.xap
UPDATE 4: v 1.2.2
- barcode search improved;
- added HTC detection, changes in autofocus logic;
http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner_1.2.2.xap
Is this a marketplace app?

I can't seem to get it to do anything. It says 'Scanning...' and I'm trying different distances to codes, but nothing ever happens. Any pointers?
Is this limited to any country or is it just reading out what the barcode says?
OK, lets go through step by step:
- it's not a marketplace app and have no chance to be published 'cause it uses undocumented camera API; you should download and unpack attachment and sideload the app;
- if you can't capture the barcode, try better lighting. Also, move a handset to autofocus camera. In my tests the scanner captured 100% of barcodes: from books, computer part boxes, foodstuff...
- it's not limited to US 'cause (I believe) the barcodes are international. And yes, it's just reads the barcode; however you may bing or google results, in the most cases search engines able to find product/book description or specifications.
It's a very basic scanner; if someone can recommend online API/service to parse barcode value, I can add it to the program (but I really do not want to spend much time for this)
It technically works but the issue is lack of AF or Macro access.
On my Focus, it only works if I scan a barcode off of my PC (do an image search for one) --then it's super fast and quick.
Books, CDs, etc. do not work, regardless of lighting or distance--I suspect because the camera is not trying to AF. Any work around to that?
I've tested first on HTC Surround - work perfect (I can prove). But you've right about Focus'es bad autofocus (LOL, sound nonsense - "Focus have no autofocus"!).
Will see what I can do... Any other suggestions or wishes (about barcode lookup, UI, etc.)?
P.S. Fixed (reload version from the first post), now working good on Samsung Focus.

Boom.
Working great on Focus now. Nice job. Think I'll try an LG next... bwahaha
As far as changes, no none right now. I'm sure what other apps use for barcode price comparisons--but perhaps a tie into Amazon or eBay would be good. Too bad you can't just jack into ShopSavvy's system with it, lol. If I think of any, will post back.
Edit: Working on LG Quantum too!

Nope. Fine on my Focus. It does work with accelerometer, you sure that isn't it?
Works well on my HD7! Great job! Hopefully it will tie in with Amazon and save previous searches within the app etc

Do you have any interest in releasing the source? I may have some time to improve upon this a bit, but I'd rather not start from scratch (or step on any toes re-creating virtually the same thing).

Why not? I'm really do not have time for that project...
Here we are: http://code.google.com/p/barcodescan/
Send me a PM with your gmail and I'll add you to the project contributors. Do not forget comment each commit, increment solution version and promptly build community release (and upload xap to the project's download page!) - and you allset
BTW, there are many things to improve: better UI (completely orientation-less), additional functionality - commit found barcodes to database etc. etc. etc.
Please review and follow these rules, it appears you aren't following them, you most likely aren't following the template. So fix it quick . It is not a harsh criticism, it is just for consistency and better for the user. PM me for help or support!

problem htc hd7
how do i copy this scanner programme to my htc hd7
i really hate this phone i had a htc touch pro 2 and it was far better can someone help me out here and also if some one can teach me how to customize personal ringtone would be great
Thx for the code. Really usefull to learn from this
Sometimes when you scan a barcode and touch the screen to start again. After a few seconds it stops and shows the last barcode again.
It looks like the UI thread is catching up scanning some images. How to get rid of this?

Sorry, I don't have a time for that application now but it should be significantly refactored.If you want you may join the project and continue development, we can share some ideas for app improvement etc.
As for problem u described, you should play with the different capture resolutions or give some hardcoded "pause" to recognition library Also, MS camera API (still not officially allowed) is not documented and very poor... However it's a great field for experiments and hacks
Thanks! That works great on my HD7.

Im not that experienced in multiple threads. Do you think the problem is in the Zxing lib?
Looking at the code the Zxing lib should have a completed event from which you can restart or show the image.
This code works but is racing and racing in the UI thread and after finding a barcode and restarting it looks like something from a buffer is used..
Code:
private void GrabFrame()
{
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
{
if (_Camera != null && CameraVisualizer.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
{
WriteableBitmap wb = new WriteableBitmap(640, 480);
_Camera.GetCurrentFrame(wb);
wb.Invalidate();
ScanBarcode(wb);
wb.DisposeIfPossible();
GrabFrame();
}
});
}
Hi,
Sorry, I had already posted this on another section but I think this one is more appropriate and can't delete other post.
I have a Joying JY-NL124 android car radio, which does not have an accelerometer. I bought the Yocto 3d V2 http://www.yoctopuce.com/EN/products/usb-position-sensors/yocto-3d-v2 to see if I could get it to work with torque and other android apps for the track but although android sees the device the apps do not. I am not a programmer, but is there a way to get the apps to recognize an external accelerometer like some do for an external GPS?
Very interesting. I would like to know as well. It might also be usefull in navigation to get a faster direction orientation.
I was reading up on this again and this bit means someone with the know how would probably need to code something
The main advantage of this solution is that you don't need to install a driver to communicate with a Yoctopuce module, as the HID layer is always present. You only need to add our library, that we provide in source form, to your driving software for it to be able to directly talk to Yoctopuce modules.

Uff, sorry for the late reply. Life has a way of getting in the way of interesting projects. I'm about to restart this project since I'm using the car a lot on the track. It's weird that the units don't come witha compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, etc, considering they are meant to be used in moving vehicles.
Definitely post up if you figure it out.
It would be nice to get it to work with Android as a whole. If that's the case you might need to talk to one of the ROM developers to see if it's something they can do ROM wise or even a custom kernel.(the kernel bit might be a little harder)
Did anybody get this right. It would be cool if these usb accelerometer could work in the apps

I'm very interested to understand whether this is possible as I am thinking about a similar setup. You tried the three Bluetooth tips in the roll up thread?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...roll-joying-2gb-sofia-mtcb-mtcd-tips-t3555249
"Bluetooth Tethering & BT Settings", "Difficult to pair BT devices" and "Modified stock bluetooth app to allow connection to all devices"
Have you tried external GPS for higher refresh rates or is the Head Unit gps refresh good enough for the track?

Sorry....USB not Bluetooth... Also discouraging. I was hoping USB would be an alternative to BT for track add-ons...
I too have an Android head unit and do track days, and have the exact same interest as you. I use Harry's Lap Timer. I have the Pumpkin AE0273B head unit. It too lacks the compass and accelerometer. I too found this to be a very unfortunate omission.
I have developed apps actually so I do know Android program to some degree (although I am sortof a hack, not a pro). I have apps on the Play Store (since I can't post links just search Play Store for developer JimRoal). I saw the Yocto stuff. When I get some time I will look into this some more.
Any update on this? Would also like to add a compass / accelerometer to my joying.
Also interested. But on a newer 10.0 unit. Something I am going to look into.

Sad that over 4 years after I first posted this we still don't have a unit with these features. I finally gave up and bought an AIM Solo 2 DL.
I'm looking for a newer radio though, since mine is older than this thread
Still waiting as well.
Looking forward for solution, we have also WIMOTION sensors in the market with sample android apk but I'm not a developser so, put things together is hard for me !
I think the hard job is try to mock the sensors in Android AS IF external accelerometer was factory embeeded (allowing apps to recognize it)
Nothing new about this project / idea ???

Once you've figured out how to modify the kernel, you should be good to go!
Another option could be sensor to serial over USB, via a compatible adapter, write an app and there you go. Of course it won't be standard Android though.
Drivers are here
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.14.133/source/drivers/iio/imu/st_lsm6dsx
The problem is adding them to kernel !
You dont need to add them to the kernel. You will need to implement an Android HAL that can read the values of these sensors. Its not a trivial task but also not very hard if you have access to the source code
I am looking for a software that can fool my accelerometer to make it things I walk 10 000 steps. I know I can build a small contraption to do it mechanically, but I am looking for a software way to Do it., directly on the android or via my computer with adb

This seems like a similar question on XDA but nobody ever helped to answer it, so I feel for you on this question.
Mock accelerometer/sensor
Digging deeper into the recent articles on the problem set, this article implies that it can't be done except in an emulator.
Setting Accelerometer Data for the Android Emulator
Digging into much older references,
How to send fake Accelerometer values to an app on a real device?
That article says "Sensor Simulator" will do what you want, but I have no experience with that app, but at least the reference says it works on the device and in an emulator.
But there was some question on whether it works on a real device versus just on an emulated device.
Is it possible to simulate accelerometer motion on a real (not emulated) device?
Thanks a lot for your reply
