Devices with Front video calling camera MS portrait app

Has someone tried the Microsoft Portrait software, i know its a old beta but has someone tried it with a device with the video calling camera?
Link to the site http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/
Microsoft Portrait

i have tried it with both tytn and tytnII and no luck, i didnt invest alot of time and got busy with life.. but i never got it to work.. im sure if someone actually devoted some time to it that it could possibly work..

thanks for your response
anyone else
i just got the chatting and talking to work but no camera even with a regular smartphone. has someone tried it with the wizard(mine does not work the camera)

A little old, but i'm looking for a video-conference software via wifi/activesync.
MS portrait doesn't recognize my Kaiser's cameras, but it's perfect in my Blue-Angel... But i don't use my BA anymore...
Is there any developer here interested in video capabilities of our devices ?
It can do almost everything, but I can't find a video-conferencing software, even with two cameras onboard...

Because there aren't. See my TiVi review posted about a month ago. Unfortunately, you'll need to use another platform (for example, Symbian or a tablet PC) if you do need video calling over IP.

Well... I'm really shocked that nobody in winmo's world is interested in developing a videoconferencing software via wifi... i'd do it if i could...
Portrait is a very good start, but we need something working with newer CPUs...

its was a while since i had posted this that i had run across this app, but even still now after a while from this being posted i have not seen anything like this, i would like to see it work on my XDA Flame b/c i dont have my wizard anymore(friend has it)........its a good idea but it seems now that this has to turn into a much bigger app, in the meaning of having more features and to be updated to be used in the other pc apps other then just the old msn messenger

As I stated: it's impossible to develop a video conferencing app compatible with all handsets. Also see http://msmobiles.com/f/viewtopic.php?t=20292 for more info on this linked from my latest Misc News ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400931 ).

Hey i got a TYTN I, 2008 model from rogers got a sweet deal on it on craigslist but nehows i am really interested in getting the front video camera to work on MSN, maybe even Yahoo and AIM which AIM i dount is more then Yahoo haven Web Caming on (video camera) i got the microsoft portrait program on and all i was able to do is see my rear camera and it was in black and white i might be wrong i did this at 3am under a new style pot light but also it seemed the camera was on its side when it wasnt lol but it would be so amazing if we could get a freeware plug-in for the new MSN Mobile but maybe msn mobile 5.0 verson would be easier just seems to me it would be able to be made more basically cause mobile 5 isnt as complex mobile as 6.0 or 6.1 anyhows im working on finding an app if theres one out there so i'll keep us all posted.

Portrait on the Trinity
I travel a lot and so I tried setting this up on my Trinity and my wife's laptop. Running in the house via wifi worked. However, there was so much lag as to be unusable. Good luck. I hope someone has a new app for this. (Skype, hopefully).

TYTN I
I would like to see it work too-bought my directly from HTC & and a flyer was on top of the phone with a note saying the video camera was DISABLED!!

Asus p 835 :)

Hello
Got some screenshots..enjoy them..will post more..in some days.
G sensor can be hacked to used with other apps from registry.
Any questions, pls feel free to ask here

can you give some feedback about the performance and how much did you pay for it?

performance is better than omia and i guess better than all existing devices using msm 7200a except HTC HD..It is a testing uni. pricing is not known yet

Hi hdubli, is Mr. Broadcom again... Any thought about my search?

User22. sorry no Mr Broadcom but MS.But the registry do have some entries reg the broadcom..however u can have a look at mr Bluesolil

Any feedback on the trackball effectiveness?
How does the fake leather on the front effect the design?
Is that a flash or speaker on the back near camera? where is the speaker?
Size, will it fit well in a jeans front pocket- or will it feel bulky(too long)?
Battery life with 2-3 calls 10 minutes GSM and in general in hours?
How soon will we see it for sale?
Thank you

how would you do that in the registry? I got a P835 and the autorotation works for a limited applications only. I am also trying to make it work with apps that were build for HTC g-sensors.
Someone manage to port the HTC g-sensor wrapper to Omnia. I tried the wrapper (a few dll's) but does not work at all. I am hoping there will be developers that will look into this Asus wrapper.

Camera and related
There is no flash on the back, the speaker there seems mono and a weak one at that, camera has given me noisy pics so far, have to try it out in full day light yet, trackball is good, This is one thing that made me buy it over HTC Diamond II. I have not been able to find a good MP4 player for it yet.
On the positive side, I removed the default today addins and added PointUI. The black look of that interface goes well with the P835 design.
The phone is responsive with enough memory to spare. Though I feel let down by the lack of main storage as a lot of application add on to the Windows folder. Any help in that department is greatly appreciated (Extendir ? any body got a CAB installer for it that works on P835, I can test it if somebody can provide it for me).
Thanks HDUBLI, you have been a great contributor for the ASUS.

Guys what did you think about this pda? Plan to get one. But I heard from other forum that they said the touch scree will fail, means the stylus can't detachable on the screen.

Soft for talking by front cam HD2 like ibouze 4

Hello, do you know a soft whitch can be used to talk via the front cam of the HD2 like the ibouze 4?

there is no front cam on the hd2

HD2 doesn't have a front camera.

I'm not sure...
But I think he means the only camera it has..
I don't believe there are any video chat apps for the HD2, sorry..

There is no way of doing it, because people never used it!
Why does everyone want it since crapple got it!?

Lemme tell You my experience with videotalk on my HTC Touch HD (which I staill have) and my LG GD900-Wristwatch-Handy (which I wear every day):
Tried it once to see if it works, NEVER USED IT AGAIN !!!!!!!!! ´cause only few people You call will even know that maybe they have a feature like this on their own cellphones. Doesn´t work when I call friends in other countries since provider don´t support it or have dirfferent protocols etc. etc.
Nobody needs it.
To proof that also YOU don´t need it: get a one month VZOChat account and see that also You won´t use it .............

the new Camera Modes from Omega/Eternity for 1st Gen Devices

Did someone managed to get the new HTC Camera Modes to work on 1st Generation Devices or can someone explain why not or help me develop a solution ?

I would like to know how to get the Camera Enhancements o my Mozart too!

If you tell me what the new modes are, I can tell you if I have them. The Camera Enhancement is installed on my trophy and is working aswell

I suppose he's talking about burst and panoramic modes which can be found in the camera settings of both HTC Radar and Titan.

If anyone could figure out a way to get the burst ad panoramic modes, I would greatly appreciate it.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I think the camera modes are driver controlled but how do we crack the camera enhancment app to do that is someone a app developer? and could help me a little bit to bring it to 1gen HTC's or the other manufaturers Devices?

has anyone been successful in getting the 2nd gen HTC devices' (Radar/Omega and Eternity/Titan) camera settings working on 1st gen (HD7/Mozart)?

Moved to WP7 Q&A
No questions in the development section please.
Take it easy
O_G

well its no question but more a important discussion were noone seems to care about...
truth is, now with mango almost at tango we still did not have one improovement, even worse..
most of the new applications HTC made, are NOT COMPATIBLE with 1st Gen devises, even OLD APPS like the COMPASS are NOT COMPATIBLE anymore..
WTF!!! and i mean.. WHAT THE FRECKIN FRUC
im seriously mad about this!
if we hadnt had ripped their apps and cracked them,
we couldnt even use them anymore...
those lazy profit orientated leeches
like the mozart couldnt make those cam shots
they just dont programm the driver and
dont give us access to do it ourself...
even worse then apple... damn...

BUMP
If chefs coking ROMs for first gen devices with camera settings from device second gen (and this happens) maybe anybody have xap file with these camera settings (from second gen of course)? If yes it could give to the forum. I do not think about modes panoramic or series but other like: white balance, brightness, etc. I need this file for my friend. THX

[Q] newbie question about the two cameras of optimus 3d

Hello xda community,
I am developing an application for my thesis that can determine the distance of the objects the camera sees. Until now i was using mono camera devices, and this is making my life difficult. So i was thinking maybe to invest on an lg optimus 3d in order to take advantage of the stereo cameras.
But, on all the devices i have worked with, you cant access in a app any 2 cameras (for example front and back) in the same time.
What my question is, if this is possible to lg optimus 3d. can i access both back cameras on the same time? they work on a different way? are they any diference from other phones on the way you access camera from a programmers prespective?
thanks in advance

OK umm there is already an app on korean LG smart world but no one here got because its only Korea app ..so yeah its possible

i am aware of that application, and i am intrested in particular on changes on java code in relation with other devices. for example in a normal device with one camera back - one front. you do something like this to select the camera... camera.open(1) or camera.open(2). what i am really asking is if i can use the 2 back cameras in the same time ( it can't be done on other devices) or the implementation done by lg (hardware) outputs both singals from the 2 cameras in one image?
it would be very helpfull to me if someone could upload, or direct me to a picture taken with lg optimus 3d in 3d mode in order to see how it stores its values on the picture matrix (2 pics side by side in one pic? 2 pics with every other row beloning to the second camera pic? other way? )

i didnt mean the normal measure app

i didnt mean the normal measure apps i ment is an app that uses both cameras at the same time to calculate distance between two points
just search for it here
http://kr.lgworld.com/

It does 2 pics side by side in one .jps format picture.

Of course ,, surely they can be working together , how could we take 3D photos .
The phone takes two pictures at the same time and merge them together .
