Extra "Fun Frames" on my HTC S620

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

Apps/Games to present the HD

Hey guys,
I'm searching for some Applications and Gamez to present the features of my HD.
Friends often ask me what I like so much on my HD and why I did't buy an iPhone. I don't know what to answer then... Always showing the Game Teeter is so boring! I testet the iPhone for about a week and wasn't as thrilled as I'm now with my HD.
Searching in the XDA Forum wasn't very successful to me
Greez and thank you for helping me...

a good start would be to take pictures of ur phone, so u can show a little but of the functions and themes.
A nice program is 'Pocketscreen' which can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328627

Thank you for your post!
I rather thought about the case when they are standing next to me and want to see what my HD is able to do... Something spectacular, you know...
Maybe we can compile a catalog of such "viewy applications"!

oh, lol, sorry then, i missunderstood ya
mhhh, so i think u r searching for advantages of the touch hd, aren't u?
well...if u wanna impress ur friends u just have to show them windows mobile...
what's so special about it? try to get tomtom or other apps working on iPhone...

Take a look at this.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software_1

too bad games are running slow as hell on the touch hd.........sigh.........

So you are looking for some "mine is bigger than yours" application just to show off?
Sorry, couldn´t resist.....

Just go to opera, copy a random link, open an email, page the link in a message and tell them to try that on their iphone
Coreplayer 1.3.0 and put on any dvd rip movies and make them jealous with envy, as movies are gorgeous on the high resolution screen
If you have highspeed internet on your hd, just show them a youtube vid, again just show them how inadequate the iphone is as a mediaplayer.
MP3-trimmer, cut a song on the fly, save it as a ringtone and then tell them to call you, watch them squirm
I got bejeweled2 on mine, another addictive game.
Virtual pool looks pretty slick.
When they tell you there is this great program which can identify music, just say its shazam and also avaible for winmo, If they don't know then whip it out tell the hd to identify a popular song on the radio or something from another mp3 player.

I also just bought an Touch HD, i used to have the normal Touch for 8 months, was thinking of buying the iphone too, instead after MANY reviews i stayed with HTC and bought me the touch HD.
Things you can show him is the resolution, open opera with a fullsize forum and show how much text you get on your screen.
Multitasking is what an iphone can't do.
Stuff i like on my windows mobile device: MSN, fring/skype (free calling over wifi) i love VNCview for PPC so i can see my desktop PC on my HD, also love the game UNO, also LOVE Funambol ! so i can sync my calendar/notes/contacts,... all to one server and that way to my PC all bidirectional... Funambol is also availeble on iphone but only for syncing contacts because apple wants to make 99 dollar a year on their syncing service... and most of all, i love that i can keep finding settings to adjust my windows mobile device just the way i want it...
what i don't know if this is all possible with a jailbroken iphone... if it is then there isn't any big difference i guess
good luck with the showing off haha

I know these pages full of applications. Which of them are good to, lets say, "show off"...
Thank you all for your suggestions... maybe got some more!?!
!edit: where can i get coreplayer 1.3 from? u know what i mean!?! plz pm

I wouldn't bother with CorePlayer; full-res video doesn't work well enough yet.
Look at the stickied video-encoder thread and create a file for free that plays full-res full-framerate in WMPlayer on the HD. Bear in mind that most people won't understand the difference between this and what the iPhone plays though.
Then read a book at them. I had an iPod Touch and never found any way to read books that wasn't woefully inadequate.
Web pages in landscape, clicking in links without zooming in etc is a great demo.
The Hologram app is pretty cool; do a search around here and you'll find it.
But to be honest all an iPhone owner has to do is show someone Super Monkey Ball, Aqua Forest, Enigmo etc and you've lost. No amount of "But you can't copy-and-paste" is going to bring you back from that one.

just record a video when going in the freeway at 120km/h then show them.
lets see the iphone do that with that quality

Cool! Thank you for all your Replys!
I think this stuff will hunt 'em down...

1. Use Hush SMS and send Ring 0 SMS to an iPhone.
2. Show some real GPS navigation software.
3. Compare list of supported bluetooth profiles on your HD with iPhone.

Use GRemote to control your pc - see here

how about installing ORB on your home pc and you can stream every music and video file to your ppc through wifi, music is even possible over edge.
that way you can have unlimited portable media.
i use it and it works great !

Yeah, at the gaming (and, of course, the capacitive screen) department, the iPhone is just unbeatable.

Please do NOT ask for warez. Especially not with CorePlayer. Those folks do deserve being paid for their very hard work.

[REQ] Train Time Application

I don't know about anyone else in the UK but I could really do with an app that allows me to search for train times.
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk just about works in Opera but it's slow to render and fiddly to have to fill in the boxes as it doesn't scale very well onto the WVGA screen. What I reckon would be great would be an app that can do the searching for you, with nice big boxes making it easier to type your start and end points.
I've searched around and not found anything out there that seems to do the job. I came across a .jar programme here (http://www.getjar.com/products/903/LiveUKTrainTimes) but It's not very user friendly and only does live departures/arrivals rather than a search of the National Rail Enquiries database.
Anyone know of anything out there that would do something like this? Or does anyone want to take a stab at developing it? I've seen the thread for the Australian train times but haven't tried it out as yet.

If you find anything, I'd also be interested.
What I've done is downloaded the timetable in pdf format and use adobe viewer to view this on the phone. Obviously there is more trainlines in the UK than there are in Ireland so this maybe wouldn't work for you. (Only 4 lines in Northern Ireland)

I would definitely use that! I love the national rail site because it lets you set favourite journeys. An app like that would be indispensable to me.

Have you tried the show directions option in google maps?
This uses the application Transit on the "Public Transport" tab and seems to work well for me in Switzerland. But, I don't know about UK - give it a go.

Have you seen this amazing application?

Looks good, I am also interested, especially since I use Chiltern, Virgin and TFL a lot. Being able to get train times in a minute on my phone would be great.

Annoyingly I don't think it does work in the UK (at least it doesn't for me). I can only use walking and driving. Mass Transit is a no-go.

Am I right in thinking this app lets you know how to get from a to b on underground systems? I'll have a look but I don't think it does the kind of thing I'm hoping for. I'd like to have an app that pulls data from the National Rail Enquiries website. Even better would be a push of any issues with 'Favourite' lines esepcially at rush-hour.
I'll have a look at that app; even a solid knowledge of the London Underground sometimes fails when meeting a friend at a pub in a random part of Town I seldom visit!

That is the dream my friend! I use a mixture of Southern, South Eastern and TFL. No so fussed about tube times; is there every such a thing as a timetable down there in reality? Certainly doesn't seem to be the case on the Northern Line coming out of London Bridge in the morning!

Use National Rail's WAP site which looks nice and big in WVGA -
http://wap.nationalrail.co.uk/
or you can text the station you're going from and too and it will tell you the next 3 train times - all the info is here:
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/passenger_services/info_on_the_move/

Or try:
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/mobile
It is a bit more user friendly

Handbrake profiole for android and EVO?

Anyone have a working profile for generic Android devices in Handbrake? And anyone started messing around with EVO specific one?

i second that! anyone know a the best specs to use to maximize video files for the evo? i would like to get started now and have my media ready to go upon launch.

Jerry Hilldenbrand (gbhill) over @ Android Central has a really great write up for android video conversion. It's not EVO specific, but it ought to give you a good starting point.
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-and-videos-how-get-started
Sorry if this is not what you were looking for.

Yes I have seen that one and have it bookmarked. I don't like choosing the apple Ipod profile though. I know it will work but is it optimized for android? Don't know enough about video files to know.

The iPod would be optimized for the Hero, G1, Magic, etc... with an HVGA (320x480) screen. The EVO has a WVGA (480x800) screen. Meaning lots more pixels for a sharper picture. So... all you need to do is find a handbrake profile for a Nexus One, Incredible, or Motorola Droid/Milestone and you'll be good to go for the EVO.

Good point. Here's a blog post with recommend Handbrake settings for the Nexus One: "...just select the ipod classic preset und change the settings to 800 pixel width, Anamorphic none and the Avg Bitrate to 1500 kbps and the Audio to 2 channel AAC and you are done."
Pics of the settings also shown here: http://www.frankie.bz/blog/tips-and-tricks/convert-video-nexus-one/

Bumping this. Enough EvOs out there for a good answer.

Handbrake settings
Use iPod settings to start. Use h.264 codec. Set 800x480 with "Keep aspect ratio" checked. Increase quality to 65%. Change bitrate to 1500. Rip away.

It won't let me set the video to 800x480. especially with keep aspect checked.

Tried to download Handbrake, and it wont run on my netbook, needs 1024x620 mines only 1024x600...

everyone that can run it (widjit, you should still be able to run the program...) follow the instructions HERE
the nexus uses the same resolution screen, so if you do what that says, you'll be fine.
and, here's wishing the moderators will clean up and merge the handbrake threads...

Here is yet another link on how to convert with Handbrake. I haven't used it yet, but plan to give it a try soon.

I still cannot get this to work. After its ripped, is there a specific process to putting the video onto the evo? Everytime I do it myself, just dragging it over there, I can find the file but its not playable.

[Q] How to split series

Hi, I'm currently designing template, but I'm having trouble with the "Series layout". I need to split the series or add space between let's say Tuesday and Wednesday, but I can not figure out how to do that. To explain you what I'm trying to achieve is that I have vertical battery percentage bar and I want the horizontal series of Monday to Sunday going through this bar. And here comes my issue, as you can't edit series the way you can with other stuff, so I can't edit the code to add space between specific days. I know I could use spacing, but that would put spaces everywhere which would ruin the design. So is there a way how to do this, or is it just not possible at all?
Thank you
