Hello, you may say this is the wrong forum to ask this but I've googled all night and the closest thing I found to what I want is the kind of thing XDA developers do to Samsung Galaxy cameras. If you cannot help, could you at least tell me where I can find this kind of help?
Basically, I need to modify a pocket camera firmware, or find someone who could do it for me. There would be a batch of code that I want the camera to skip/ignore/jump over.
To be a little more specific: when I turn my camera on (it's a pocket camera with its own proprietary firmware, NOT an Android camera), there's a zoom error. The error message stays on the screen and I cannot access the camera functions because of it. I want the camera to skip checking the lens assembly altogether.
If there's anything on this forum or any other forum that resembles what I'm thinking, please direct me to it.
Thanks for reading.

Hi. I've tried searching this forum for answers and even found a thread about "all secrets" of capturing Pocket PC screens. However, I have not been able to find any information about how to video record the screen on my phone. I'm running WM6 on a HTC Hermes. I'd like to be able to video record my screen so I can do a review. Thanks!

Thanks a lot! But I'm not really sure that program works. It doesn't allow you to set the file to which the program will be captured.
Any other programs? Preferably one that isn't still in beta.
it's a google search if the first link is not good enough try the next and repeate untill you found what you are looking for or loose hope
that would most people who dident already know of a program would do for you anyway
I do appreciate your insight, but I was hoping that someone who actually knows about the subject would chime in with their expertise. Anyone can do a google search and exhaust the possible options, which I've done. Hence I've turned to this forum in hopes of finding someone that has done this and can lead me in the right direction.
i agree but the pro and cons with posting it in the general forum are
pro
more exposure so more people who may have insight can contribute
con
lots more posts in this forum then in maybe the hermes forum so your post will have a shorter time before being pushed out of the main page
Have a look at Soti it offers a video capture mode which works very well http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro - add to that the ability to skin the virtual device you can make very slick looking presentations/ screen captures - Mike
Thanks! That what I was looking for.
Here's what I had to have video for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD5zhHl4RU4 . I wanted to demonstrate the accuracy of Live Search with GPS on my Hermes.
That is a neat example of GPS in use - I like the video - Mike
cool vids...another reason to love my tytn II
So, I have the feeling this isn't the place to post this, but seeing as how I was unable to find a section for the Focus S (yet there is one for the HTC Titan, which isn't even out yet) I figured I might as well post somewhere.
I've interlop unlocked and loaded a few different .xap's onto my device and have found that most either will not work (they close shortly after loading up) or they allow you to navigate around, but not edit anything. Advanced Config, Registry Editor, Samsung Tools, etc. will not allow for any kind of registry changes. Is there anyone who can point me to the right place for solving this issue?
Give me, oh, another hour. Reverse engineering the Focus S DLLs now. Already have registry, provxml, quite possibly filesystem, and a few other things (including the interface for call blocking, which doens't seem to exist in the older phones - sorry people with first-gen phones).
The new SecProxyClient.dll is super-useful. The new FCRouterProxy.dll looks to be amazing too, with lots of new APIs, but they obfuscated the function signatures, so it's going to take me a while to figure them out.
Of course, I don't have Focus S or Focus Flash, so I'm going to need some testers to make sure I've reassembled these APIs correctly. Any takers? I make no guarantee that these functions will work correctly, and if they don't it could mess up something, but I'll try hard to avoid that.
EDIT: Of course, the apps will need to be modified to use the new APIs and DLLs. It's not like I can publish my results and eisting apps will magically just work. I'll include the source of course, though, so it should be easy to build on my work. If schaps were willing to distribute the source for his own apps, I could fix them myself, but no such luck. That's what you get for closed-source, I guess.
I'm right here to test what you need.
I am more than willing to test. Just post it here or shoot me an email: [email protected]
I'm western time, so ill be up for a while
Yeah, I'm not.
Ill leave the testing for you, hope you guys have **** worked out by the morning.
i'm also willing to test as well, but please don't break my phone
All right folks, have at it. I'd like a few testers from each device, if possible, but mostly I just want good reports. PLEASE read the first post carefully - yes, I know it's long, but it will save both of us time.

Moved to WP7 Q&A
You are correct there is no focus s forum. There are some posts relating to that phone there, but they are different so i will not move it there. As it is a question it has been moved to WP7 Q&A. Hopefully if and when a focus s forum is created you can request the thread is moved again.
Take it easy

You know, I'm beginning to wonder of the reason that the call blocking app is struggling so much is just because there's a problem with this DLL that it is (and I am) trying to use. Sigh...
Speaking of which, if anybody can get me the XAP for the Call Blocking app, or for any other Samsung Gen2 app, that could be very helpful.
Here you go
Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to receive values of the "Laser Sensor", which LG G3 has built in. I searched Google, asked at stackoverflow and read the Google Android API Documentation a lot of times - but I didn't get the information I need.
Three weeks ago, I asked LG's support. They told me they will send my question to the developer department. I'm still waiting for an answer / reaction.
So I thought I will maybe get some information about this sensor if I decompile LGs Camera App - but reading the code is very confusing for me. :-/
At the moment I'm searching for a solution to take control over the infrared diode and the receiver by using adb and echoing values to sys/class/...-files.
But I didn't get something useful.
Kind XDA-people, if anybody know how to control/trigger (what ever) this infrared diode & sensor, please let me know.
Hi! I just need a help with the new whatsapp Web feature. The problem is with reading the Qr code. My phone's rear camera is damaged so it doesn't read that code. But my front camera works fine and is capable of reading such codes. But whatsapp doesn't give an option to change to front camera. Please someone help me. I'm desperate to find a solution. Is that Qr code the only way for whatsapp Web? Or, is there any other way to use front camera for that? Phone's rooted (for info). Thanks in advance.
Oh crap! I thought XDA people would help. I think no one is good enough here for this question.
Hi
What part of a mobile development forum did you miss. This is not a support site.
Hi there,
I'm new to this android stuff, I use a... Uh, okay I use a different phone...
I'm blind and am exploring android with one goal... To see again. Okay, maybe that was a little over blown but let me explain before asking for some help from you lovely people.
There is an app called 'the vOICe', by seeing with sound, their home page here:
(Noticed I can't post links, do a search for seeing with sound and the voice and you'll find the one, it's also on the app market, just don't mistake it for the app accompanying the TV series...)
Who are using a system to help blind see. In a nutshell, it scans an image from left to right and layers sound using different frequencies to represent the image. I'm sorry if I'm a bit vague about this as I've not really had a chance to fully experiment with it. In short, it turns visual images into sound and it would appear that some fantastic results are coming from it and actual stimulation of the visual cortex is happening. In effect, the android device is the a to d, and the user's brain is the d to a. Amazing.
The problem is, currently it's not very usable. It can process a live stream from a video camera built into an android device but, of course, no one wants to wonder around with a 6 inch sudo-tablet strapped to their forehead. There was some excitement with the idea of google glass, however, aside from it not coming to light, I'd not really want to spend several hundred pounds on a device which I can use for just one thing. Okay, now the specifics...
I want to be able to route a webcam, or a similar camera into an android device, the device to accept the images from the camera and to process them into sound using the vOICe app. From what I understand from the Doctor who is pushing this forward and the inventor of the system, android does not yet allow external cameras to act as the native camera device. Can you help?
My perfect rig, and I'm making the huge assumption that it's the rig that most blind people would settle for, is the phone in my pocket, a hat or headband containing a camera, and a pair of headphones, preferably bone conduction as they give better awareness.
My question, my request is for someone to help make my device accept a video camera through usb and use the vOICe app to process the image.
Thank you in advance.

PS... I'm new to all of this, so I apologise if I've posted in the wrong place. If admins could move this post to the right place if I have messed up, I'd be very grateful.

Hi, Thanks for using XDA assist
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
Good luck.
