Camera Vs. Picture time...

Hey xda techies,
Here's my problem; I'm not sure if it's because of WM6 or the MDA Wizard / 8125, but it takes a long time when I take pictures. What I mean is when I press the button to take the picture, there is a delay between that and taking the actual picture. Most of the time, it's a miss because the person or the actual picture I was trying to take moved!
If anyone has a configuration or a tweak to fix this, or even another picture taking program - I would really appreciate it!
Phil

Plus...
Oh and I just remembered...
Also the flash of the camera comes on pretty early. It barely gives that extra hint of glow that it's already gone. The way it is now, it's a waste of flash. Anyone know how to fix this?
Phil

my solution
this is pretty much what i did. took off my casing and drilled a hole through the flash spot. its soooooo bright now!!! it can easily light up an entire scene at least 4 to 5 feet away!!!! its an extremely bright light. people get blinded by it now up close

Holed up!
Yo Taz,
Now I wonder how the hell did you ever figure that one out! It's not everyday someone decides to just drill a hole throught their pda!!
Seriously, thanks for the heads up... What about the time delay between the button and the actual cam taking the picture??? Any info on that?
Man, the things we do to find efficient solutions...! You crackl me up!
Phil

hahaha. thanks. i wasnt sure if i should do it or not but i didnt really mind. i hated the flash being so dim it was frusterating at times. now i dont have to worry!! about the flash time i realized that the best solution was to use the Batterystatus overclock to about 247mhz and not have anything else running at all. also turn off the shutter sound and turn off the picture preview that happens after you shoot. makes things a bit quicker. my camera is really quick with pictures now. i save to my 2gb storage card!!
hope that helps. let me know how it works for you.

find the coolCam application. I had it in one ROM many months ago and it was a FAR more efficient camera app then the one that is being installed from every other app. not sure why it faded so quickly but it was a very lite version that ran very fast!

Dis someelse test it? Is it OK with all devices? Can someone send the pictures? Maybe even with before and after pictures?
THX

Okay....
Alright guys,
I downloaded Coolcam and installed it. Works pretty well and somewhat better than the cam with wm6 / 8125.
My problem is, I tried to change the program to start when I press the side cam button on the pda! It didn't figure in any of the lists! I currently have it on program files, but I just can't get to it!
Anyone has an idea, please let me know.

Builders: Can you build WM7 theme into ROM?

Dutty, Shaps, et al. (No disrespect to other builders), but I am looking in the other sections of this site and there is some REALLY GOOD STUFF OUT THERE! Im excited by what I see to make these expensive devices really awsome.
But I see that there is a WM7 theme out there and wanted to see one of you build some of these things into a new theme. It has a really nice clock that is smaller and clears up today screen real estate. Really nice.
Can one of you build a WM7 theme into your next super ROM? I am currently using Dutty's from Feb 22 or something. I know there are newer ROM's but there hasnt really been any significant changes that would make me upgrade. This stuff is so nice... I would change for some of the stuff I see here. Here is the link.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380080.

why not just download those themes onto ur phone now?

I have been trying, however they are not cabs and some of the set up steps are not working. They seem like files you have to build into the rom using flash player.
When I download the files, I see this instrutions and all it says is ...."Which ever background you want, change the name to "background.png"
Put the font Calibri under /windows/font".
Sorry, but its not working for me. It was just a thought... no big deal, but it would be nice to have the nicer looking today screen.

the HOME cab is not the one thats in the other WM7 view. I dont want the "HOME" cab... I want the WM7 clock and today screen set up.

I'm sorry but it's working, I have it on, if you just follow the steps, it will work, if it doesn't, then you ain't doing it right..

Eskostar, how do I build that. I'm so tired of the HTC home. When I go to landscape mode, it takes the whole screen and I can't see any content below it. This is what I want a home screen to have. With maybe a second page, of tasks, etc, reminders.
I'm not very experienced, so can you PM me with how to build this?

I do have a second page, with Ultimate launcher with my app shortcuts
You could add a second one or more with reminders, games, etc.
I'm a bit busy atm finishing some work, later today or tomorrow I'll pm you with my stuff and links

Very interested as well!

( deleted )

Well im not getting it.... maybe I dont have something on my phone that is necessary. The directions seem easy enough...just copy to application data/ home folder. But not working for me.
I will read on... but Dutty.... please build into your next ROM! I know you like a challenge so beat these others to it.

Post your Raphael Today Screen!

It seems like every device specific forum has one of these threads.
So, I thought why not making one for our Raphael!
I've disabled TouchFlo3D from day one. I just don't like it so much.
I've installed PocketBreeze, PhoneAlarm, and Wisbar Advance 3 with brand new Prot'n V2 skin by enCORe.
I'll start with mine:

It'd be nice if you also mention the programs/plugins we're seeing.

If not for TF3D I'm not so sure the Fuze is better than a lot of other PPC's out there, I LOVE it and couldn't leave it.

I love those TF3D tab icons, I just wish they were all colored instead of some color and some B&W.

Actually, the icon package is black and white for all inactive tabs, and goes color once you select the tab. The only exception is the one I have for the calendar tab, simply because I have an active tab icon that holds the day number within the icon. Therefore, someone with your setup would have all black and white inactive icons, and color on the tab selected.
Here's what it looks like when I go to the contact tab.

Awww yeahhhh, that's sick.

The TF3D icon that pops up on startup? Schaps AdvancedConfig can stop that from showing on every boot.

Posted this elsewhere too under Touch Pro Themes - but as thats abot all Tab's thought I'd drop my "Home Screen here too, although I think the originator probably meant this for NON TF3D Today Screens?

your landscape is probably off because landscape is not supported.
The portrait is strange though.... have you soft reset your phone since install? (or since the problem occured)

GENE aka p3400 wm 6.1

1. check the resolution of the images and see if they're large enough for preview
2. remove the pictures from your phone, reset, and put them back. then reset again.
3. If these don't work.. i'll get back to you on this

thanks nir36

the pictures are between 320*240 and 1024*768 so they are "large enough for preview"
i already formated the Storage Card and put every thing again from the computer
so get back to me plz...

I was gonna say if you weren't running an htc phone you may run into problems.....
but thats htc. the only other thing i can recomend is a reinstall. (or if you want you could remove the picture tab with m2dc.)
You may also want to check what version you are running. Manilla 2d is still in development and so it isn't perfect yet you can contact the main developer here though. He may be able to offer more help or even be able to inlcled a bug fix in the next version.

[THEME] Black & White Slider Icons (standart icons for Leo's Manila)

Hello. There are many cool themes out there, but I found a lack of themes to change the slider icons of Manila. I searched everywhere for this, but I couldn't find it so I made it myself.
Since the homescreen of Manila is pretty much black & white but those colourful icons really bugged me especially with that terrible green, I really wanted those stock icons to be black & white too. I changed the icons and made a *.cab for this.
Feel free to use this theme if you like it. Note that it will only change the icons of the slider nothing else.

INSTALLATION & DEINSTALLATION
=========================
1) Copy the *.cab to your storage card and execute it on your phone.
2) Install it to your device space, not to your storage card!
3) Soft-reset your device.
4) Enjoy!
To uninstall just normally deinstall this application via list of installed applications where you deinstall programs. The Icons will be like they were before again.
I hope you like it.

lovely, thanks. i've been searching for this for a while. personally, i don't like those colorful stock tabs, too.
thanks and i'll give it a try

Sorry. But I had already put myself available to icons!

Oh, sorry about that. I pretty much searched for hours on the leo boards, but somehow didn't find these. I used the rest of the day to find out how to extract the files from the device and edit them. :/
But since your cab seems to change more things than mine, maybe not all of my work was in vain.
