Camera Software

Hi. I bought an unbranded phone running on WM 6.0. I have been searching for an alternate camera software. I found coolcamera but unfortunately it does not work. Do you know of any other software I might use because the default one it has in it is not so good and it does not let you use the camera in full screen.
Thanks

You could look into this althoug I'm not sure how much it will help. What phone is it?
Hi. The mobile is an Iphone clone called Miphone or M88. I found many threads like the one you posted but they are only people wanting to build an application. The only application I found is CoolCamera but unfortunately it does not work on my mobile.
any other suggestions are welcome please...

Firstly, this is an HTC forum for HTC phones only, so seekoing help here will get you limited answers. That being said, is it running an iPhone OS from Apple ? ( which I doubt because Apple hasn't sued them yet ) or is it an iPhone clone running Windows Mobile or a custom OS ?

It's some Iclone running WM6
OP i'd give up trying, software is not going to make hardware better
clearly you have no idea what i'm talking about. Some developers you are... thanks the same...

All future devices will be based on Wp7, as Microsoft does not seem to be interested in the past
Long live to Windows Mobile!!
I donĀ“t think we will see another new hTC with WM but it is far away for being dead!
It depends a lot on Devs, Chefs and us users to keep it alive!
Who knows, perhpas in the future you can have a newr hTC device but capable of running WP7/WM/Android
Leo is getting closer!!

sounds cool ...
its definitely sad to see that winmo's development has been stopped. If htc won't make any new winmo-based phones, then there won't be any new version of sense, along with new user-interfaces for other htc's applications.
so sad ...
thanks for the replies

[Useless] Best smart phone for porting MaruOS? (And how to start)

Hi,
I am due to purchase new smartphone and interested in Maru OS. Most probably I am looking at devices from Xiaomi, Innjoo or Oppo (due to spec-to-cost ratio) depending how much friendly it is for porting Maru OS.
1) Can anyone advise which will be the best device for this purpose? I understand major problem will come due to non-availability / locked bootlooders, drivers and working kernel.
2) Also, I am not experienced in mobile development and not a pro/full-time programmer (but can learn as I have been using Gentoo and Arch Linux, plus studied programming during school days), if anyone experienced can help me in getting started, it will be a good start for me.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Marked 'Useless' ... thanks to everyone for not responding.
^bump
If no one is interested in responding to OP, can anyone point me to how to extract device drivers from stock ROM for use with custom ROM I intend to compile? [I mean use working ROM as a base then customize it for Maru OS adoption].

I was wondering about alternitive os like sailfish and other linux based os.

Hi total noob here
Like the title says i was wondering why other operating systems like sailfish arent more popular amongst people on this forum or people who are into the modifiing of os for smartphones in generall?
since u can also run adroid apps on it u can stil use it as a daily without sacrificing anything compared to android.
Is there a barrier why there isnt a interest for it forexample is it difficult to program or something ? or people just arent intersted in it?
same for other linux projects that want to put linux os from the computer to the smartphones seems very interessting to me. like update wise.
Looking forward to your reply
