Being severely disappointed that the Nikon S800c android camera doesn't actually allow you to take 16 MP size pictures via the standard Camera API, I started applying tools like apktool and baksmali to the .apk and .odex files of the nikon camera app to see if I could see any clues about how it manages to access all the features of the camera. I found the manifest asking for the permission com.nikon.permission.MICKCAMAPPEXT, I found lots of names with "mick" in them in the half million lines of disassembly, and I found lots of device files, shared libs, and system binaries with "mick" in the name.
So, naturally, I wonder if "mick" means anything, or if maybe "mick" was just the code name for the android camera project at Nikon and it managed to creep into all the names of things? Anyone have any clues? All my discoveries can be found on my web page I probably can't post a link to, but I'll try .
Yep, can't post it. Here are the pieces you can maybe reassembly manually:

I think this might be of interest to some people, and since I haven't seen anything about it on the site I figured it should be posted.
There was a security vulnerability found in Resco photo viewer that may allow remote access and data theft from Windows Mobile based phones when opening corrupt PNG files.
Read here and here.
Being a bit surprised that a simple image file could cause such serious problem I looked it up and ran in to this old page giving some more details on the subject (this is for PC version of the PNG library though)
I have looked for any info on this over the last few weks and im really surprised that nobody else wants to do this on a pda!
I have posted in the Artemis area but nobody can help!
What im after is a 3rd party program to embed gps coordinates when i take a picture on my pda.The Artemis has a built in gps but im sure other bluetooth receivers would do the same job
I have since learned that this is called geotagging and some digital cameras with now embed the gps coordinated onto the picture. Web sites like http://www.panoramio.com/ which make a kml file to view your pics in google earth.
At the moment tho i have to find these coordinates by using picasa 2
and using their geotag option but you still have to find the location manually on google earth
download picasa here: http://picasa-server.com/?s=yp_uk&OV...MTC=s tandard
It would be so much easier to be able to just take a pic on the Artemis and have the coordinates automacally embedded on to the file!
Any new ideas please please????
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocoded_photo
it mentiones quite a few methods of including geotag into a picture. i think the best method suiting your needs would be:
Wikipedia said:
Syncing coordinates from GPX tracks into the Exif header using software that compares time stamps. The software programs RoboPhoto, RoboGEO, Quakemap, and TopoFusion, as well as the web-based services GeoSnapper and Thingster, can match up photos in this way. For the Mac, PhotoGPSEditor will do the trick.

also, i remember seeing somewhere a software which logged gps position into a simple log file, so it would be easy to develop an app which use that data without dealing with gps receiver. Now if we had a software that edits exif jpeg tags on pocketpc, we could use this gps log file... i know thats the big if...
got it sorted check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1143082#post1143082
I've looked around and couldn't find a viewer for postscript files. Is there anything around?
ghostscript is available under GPL, so I figure it should be possible to create something. Is there some legal/licensing obstacle I'm not aware of? Is there a technological obstacle?
This was asked time ago in the asus transformer forum, with no conclusion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483244 . As noted there, there is at least one service that sends the file to a server for conversion to pdf. Apart from the inefficiency and requirement for network connectivity, this also results in a pixellated version of the files (If there had been an option to setvery high resolution, the cost would be huge files). Normally, postscript images allow arbitrary scaling.
nobody?
Hi,
I'm trying to work through a hardware detection problem running an app (Osmos, purchased in the Humble bundle for Android). It seems that maybe there's something weird about how my Chinese tablet reports its multitouch or something, I figured I'd just hack the apk to remove the multitouch check and be done with it.
The problem is that the error string isn't in the application itself, it's part of a support library and occurs during initialisation, there's no obvious call to the library to ask for multitouch though I'm sure something flags it as required somewhere along the line but probably in one of a couple of parameter values that are long, undocumented integers.
The support library is called libverde.so and appears in the apk's lib directory when decompiled (apktool, dex2jar, JD are the tools I'm using). There's almost no information about it on the net, only a reference on a pirate site about patching it to remove a check for screen size (similar to what I want to do).
Has anyone heard of this library? Can provide any information on it?

Where would I find these three UI components ?
The three snapshots attached display them, and I hoping someone will recognize them.
Looking for the libraries that contain them, and I don't readily know how to determine that?
Would there be an app for that --- telling me what libraries are used by specific apps?
UPDATE: I believe I've found the Calendar and Time spinners under Android SDK's ApiDemo samples app:
Samples\ApiDemos\src\com\example\android\apis\view\DateWidgets1.java
The search continues with the face clock ui component.
Thank-you.
