Camera app + album app - Touch Pro, Fuze General
Hi,
there are currently two things that I find really annoying about my Touch Pro. If someone knows a solution to them it would make me very happy :
1. The camera app:
It does not save the orientation of the device when a photo is taken. Hence, whenever I transfer pictures from the device to my desktop PC I have to manually rotate the pictures taken with the device in landscape orientation (since there is no orientation information, software cannot auto-rotate the pictures).
Is there a mod/alternative app/add-on which I can use to work around that limitation? Or do I have to enable an option somewhere?
2. The album app:
This is somehow a follow-up to the above: I haven't found a way to rotate pictures with the album app. This is even more annoying as a picture taken can not easily be used as a "contact picture" if taken in the wrong orientation. Of course, it is possible to cut out a section of the picture. However, when taken in landscape instead of portrait-orientation, the face of the contact is rotated +/- 90°.
Any help for this? A solution to this problem would also partially solve the first problem.
<bump>
Anyone? Please!

Contacts Picture Resolution for Touch Cube and Slide2Unlock
I've been messing with Wizard TNT5.0 TouchFlo and I realized that my contact pictures in the Cube were looking a bit... blocky. Except for the ones that I took pictures of using the "Contact Picture" mode in camera. Obviously that's the resolution I should be using, right? Wrong. I tried converting these pictures (the ones that seem blocky) to the same resolution as pictures taken under "contact picture", which is 320x240 96dpi. When I did just that, I got the same results. This pixilish look also looks the same in Slide2Unlock's fullscreen Caller ID. It doesn't look like that with pictures taken with "contact picture". Now my question is... Is there some other resolution I should be looking at? Is there something I'm missing? Or maybe there's a program that can help me convert these pixilish pictures to the right resolution for the cube and Slide2Unlock. Thanks guys. As a digital imager myself this is irritating me.
I think i found the answer in the touch form: it is from a guy called mangakun Picture Quality in QuickDial Screen Method Used 100% PocketCM>Person>Set Pictures...>w320_h240.PNG/BMP 100% PocketCM>Person>Set Pictures...>w240_h320.PNG/BMP 60% PocketCM>Person>Set Pictures...>w72_h75.PNG/BMP (low res. = not enough pixel information) 50% BuiltinWM6ContactList>Person>Edit>Change picture...>w240_h320.PNG/BMP 10% BuiltinWM6ContactList>Person>Edit>Change picture...>w72_h75.PNG/BMP Note: w320_h240.PNG, w320_h240.BMP, w72_h75.PNG, w72_h75.BMP are copies made from a photo, and transfered into external memory. Thanks to PocketCM for solving this annoying quality problem. Click to expand... Click to collapse And it works ok but i found that when you resize them 260h_240w they are even better and more on scale for slide2unlock i don't have the answer because i am not using it anymore.
there is a mode mode of Camera application that is capturing pictures in proper aspect ratio and size.

Click to expand... Click to collapse 260x240 seems a bit odd. I'll check it out. So far 320x240 really isn't working out for me though, I don't know why...
How to use a PPC like a mirror !! by just pressing a button
Hello ! Like many of you, I have a PocketPC with 2 cameras, one on the front and one in the back. My PocketPC is a HTC Kaiser, by the way. So what about using your Pocket PC as a mirror ?! it can be use useful, just to check that your tie is well done before going to a job interview Is it possible to start HTC Camera application with an argument so that instead of the back camera, the front camera is used ? If yes, how ? If no, how can I achieve the same result ? Chris ps: I have already tried the mirror effect platisc that you can but on the PPC display. But I do not like it because then it is almost impossible to see the display when you are outside, because of amount of light reflexion.
take a picture of yourself then view it sounds like a good idea though.. i wish my touch had a front camera.
Taking a picture is not what I want. I want my PocketPC to act exactly like a mirror, that means, I want to see myself in live. Do you know how to open the HTC camera using the front camera instead of the back one ?
The camera app on the Athena/Ameo lets you choose which camera to use...
I assume if you set the right registry settings before you start the app the camera app will start with the right camera. It should be easy, some-one more motivated than I should be able to do it. Surur

For Kaiser (looking at your sig) open camera tap anywhere on screen the press the 'camera' button from the munu that pops up (lower bar center box on my kaiser) and it switches to the front camera. do that again to switch image and again to go back to normal camera.

I think you are missing his point? He wants the front camera selected by default
Yes, exactly, I want the front camera to be used by just pressing a button. So that I can really use my pocket pc as a mirror. A mirror is an easy tool, you just have to look at it. I want the same with my pocket pc: pressing one button and just looking at the pocket pc, to see myself I will investigate about a registry hack. If there are no way to give arguments to the HTC Camera application, it is the only way I can see.
are you really that handsome ?
Maybe to find a real mirror is easier than to find the solution with the camera I turned my prophet's screen off, now i can see myself and even my tie easily.. my prophet turns into a mirror by one button press althouhg it has only one camera
I investigated about the registry changes to switch between the front and back camera, here is the registry controlling the settings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Camera\5.04\Preferences\Values This is the content of Values when using the back camera: 0f,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,90,01,00,00,40,1f,00,00,01,10,00,55,01,02,01,01,40,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,04,09,11,20,00,45,46,00,00,28,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,c0,27,09,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 and this is the content of Values, when using the front camera: 0f,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,90,01,00,00,40,1f,00,00,01,10,00,55,01,02,01,01,40,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,40,00,40,00,09,11,20,00,45,46,00,00,28,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,c0,27,09,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 The changes are displayed in bold. I know that you can change a "normal" registry, but how to change such a large number list in the registry automatically ?
I'm interested in this too... I would be great if you press for long time the camera button to activate the front camera!
Mortscript could do it. Surur
I have tried with SKshema (which is a bit like mortscript), but the problem is that instead of using several registry values, HTC Camera is using only 1 registry value and but lots of data into it. So I do not see how to change it with these script tools. Can someone provide us with a script example to change this registry value to use the front camera ?
Anyone can tell me how to change the registry so that the HTC Camera is starting with the front camera instead of the back camera ?
Camera in Mirror with SKtools Hello ! So no reply about an argument to camera.exe to launch it using the front camera instead of the back camera. So I have found alternative way by using the tap feature of SKTools, here is my solution: #r(\Windows\Camera.exe) #r(#tap) #p(120;160) #sleep(1000) #r(#tap) #p(5;160) #r(#tap) #p(120;160) It works well, I would just wish to get the camera immediately in fullscreen, because it needs 30 second to have the various camera logos the screen to disappear. Do you have any suggestions ?
Where are camera pictures stored? (Alltel Touch pro)
Where are 'Camera' pictures stored. I looked in My Pctures in both storage and card. Can it be configured? I see the picture in camera app but can'r find it with resco explorer or when attached with explore (Active Sync).
At the screen that you are taking the picture there must be an icon (I think something like a cogwheel). If you press it you will see a submenu with some tabs. If i remember well at the first tab you will find the choice of where to save your pictures. PS: Are you sure that when you are taking a picture then you save it? Or at the preview you are just exiting the app?
Resco Photo Viewer/Manager - full screen problem
Hi, i have the same problem as him: (you can see his image when you press the arrow) ohyeahar said: Hi guys, I'm having a problem with using Resco Photo Viewer. Every time I try to view a photo in full screen, the little soft key to activate the onscreen keyboard is still visible. I've attached a screenshot for reference. This is of a photo in full screen mode. Anyone know how to get that little soft key out of the way? Click to expand... Click to collapse I use wm6.5.5 and photo manager 7.02, does anyone know a fix?
This happens only when you open an image from some file explorer, doesn't it? It happens too on my Touch HD and I don't know how to fix it, so I just run Photo Manager and find the pic using Browse device function...
I changed the photo's and video's tab so the images are opened in photomanager and there i have no problem. If the previous app used the keyboard, then it stay's there. If it's there just click settings side of it, close it again and it's gone ... just a beauty problem
Photo App that can use a Half transparent image as "background" "gauge/pattern/jig".
Photo App that can use a Half transparent image as "background" "gauge/pattern/jig". Hi, 1st of all, excuse me if beeing in the wrong section. I tried some "PiP and Panorama" photo apps already, but I search for somethign different. I need a photo app, where you can put any image as a half-transparent background, while taking photos. The half-transparent image should act as an "gauge/pattern/jig" and should not influence the photos taken while using the half-transparent image. I remember the panorma app from my old Sony w800i, where, while taking panorama photos, every next photo beeing shot, was shwoing a half of the previous photo, so you coudl attach the next shot properly. What I am trying to achieve with this ? It is for a little project, to add images into another image, which otherwise would involve lots of photoshopping i.e. Distort/Skew/Perspective and so on. Whit this app Im searching for, a lot of photoshopping would not be needed, as I could use the half transparent image in the camera background, to take photos from the right angle without needing to use Distort/Skew/Perspective later. I really hope humans understand this wall of text Thanks in advance.
Photochron from the PlayStore did the job...more or less :/
