Hi all,
New here so be gentle.
I'm interested in developing an application that uses the gyro in my touch hd.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find some resources on this?
many thanks

Hi logicalstep,
...it is an accelerometer, not a gyroscope. what do you want to do?
I'd liek to start building apps that make use of the accelerometer. Such as customizing actions such as a shake or when you turn the phone over.
Obviously this can be done as HTC make use of it to mute the sound on a phone call.
Do you have any experience wit this ? Can you point me in the right direction?
There must be a way to access the functions of the accelerometer through and API or something in visual studio?
Much appreciated.

Perhaps this link can be of use to you.

Many thanks.
I'll let you knwo if I ever get the chance to build an app worthy of XDA Devs!

Moving to Q&A
Im interested too, ive tried GMD Gesture Control
im interested too.. i know a friend who wants it badly.
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 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.
I have a few of these cameras, and recently discovered that you can download the official source code from Lenovo.
This camera would be amazing if it has a few tweaks. I'm not sure which section of the forum this product would fall under. I would like a few simple things changed with the product. Mainly fixed camera shutter speed, and usb-c mic input.
Sorry if This was posted in the wrong place.
download
If you search "oss_vr4501x_s100120.tar.gz" it will bring you to the download. I don't know what OS it's based on, or just a custom Linux.
