[G1 Android Development] hongkongpheoy74:
Ok I take back what I said. Here's the real issue behind the camera, after looking at the source:

Many of the parameters are not being implemented, the ISO can select multiple values so this is not the problem with the darkness - the problem is focus and metering is always set to average. So the only time focus will ever be focus is when you are shooting everything at the same distance. The camera will never handle low light scenarios properly unless we can focus and meter on single spot. Basically in order for our cameras to work properly, the big thing we need is "focus = average" and focus = center spot" and have the metering also work the single spot.
[G1 Android Development] JackTheVendicator:
Is it coded in the kernel/camera apk source or it's just an option in configuration file somewhere in the file system?
[G1 Android Development] hongkongpheoy74:
In the source code.
[G1 Android Development] getjitto:
in my stock LG GT540 rom ,i have an option to control the focus - it was working very well also but after the cynogen update i lost that feature and i'm trying to get that old ROM
[G1 Android Development] sarajw:
This is one hell of a thread revival for what is now an old phone - does anyone know if there has been any progress, on any android phone or version, on being able to incrementally control a camera's focus?

Thank you kindly!

Sara
[G1 Android Development] ElChibo:
LOL!

I think now.. most ROMS have that built in.. Hell i think its built into AOSP now.
[G1 Android Development] sarajw:
Hrm! I seem unable to find it though. Lots of point-to-focus but nothing incremental...
[HD2 General] EViS:
I got my new HD2 yesterday, lovely thing! The first thing I did was flashed bepe and co's HSPL and installed the latest HTC ROM from the HTC website to replace my T-Mobile shipped ROM.

However, there are a couple of items I'd like to uninstall, such as CoPilot. How do I go about doing this? The 'Manage Installed Programs' menu does not have any entries, thus I am at loss on how to go about doing this?

I will eventually get a cooked ROM on the device, however just wanting to familiarise myself with the device first.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
you can't remove from a stock ROM, you'd have to go down the cooked route for that...
[HD2 General] EViS:
That explains that then :). What ROM would you recommend for a 'clean' install?
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
Actually you can delete Copilot by using File Manager to delete its folder in the Programs folder. Frees up several megabytes of memory, too!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Either Dutty or Miri are good for doing stripped down ROMs. They both offer a version with Sense still on it, but with other doings removed.
[HD2 General] Alisha:
Just remove all the files and optionally the reg entries. Nothing there to disturb you after that...
[S740, S743 ROM Development] Semmelknoedel:
Hi all,

Is there an overview abou all available ROMs for S740? Also I'm looking for an instruction to cook my own ROM...

Maybe someone can help me.

Regards

Semmelknoedel
[S740, S743 ROM Development] CornholioGSM:
Can you read? For S740 is NOT HardSPL...Cooking your own ROM is not possible !!! :(
[S740, S743 ROM Development] Semmelknoedel:
YES, I'm able to read. But normally I don't understand, what I read. :confused:

Really, I mean: What are the possibilities, what can I do to change the surface of my S740? I cannot live with the original ROM and the Swisscom-Logo during startup...
[S740, S743 ROM Development] Enricosteph:
Hy!

Sorry,but look at the S740 Rom Development-Thread...it sucks but there is currently no way to update the Rom on our S740 and HTC gives us no Support....

But there are many ways to customize your Rose.....Just search the Forum or ask.....

MFG from Germany...
[S740, S743 ROM Development] Semmelknoedel:
I know, that there is now way. But I dont give up to find a possibility :)

Could ypu please give me some topics of possibilities to customize the Rose? It would be easier for me to search for.

MFG from Switzerland

Skinning instructions

Design instructions:

Download screenshots.zip

modifiy images in favorite image editor (that supports .psd and layers)

post concept image in thread/send us the .psd file

(OPTIONAL) Make skin with concept

Skin the XDAFacebook app instructions:

Download zip file

extract all images and place them in the \Program Files\XDAFacebook\Resources folder

launch application

enjoy!

Ok, instructions on how to skin the app are as follows:

Find the image that you want to replace.

Create new image and give it the specific name.

Special "tags" at the end of the name give the image special features.

copy the images to the \Program Files\XDAFacebook\Resources directory

list of tags:

_alpha this will take the first pixel of the image and make it the images "Alpha Channel". Make sure that the image is solid in that color and that there are no artifacts!

_trans_### where ### is a number (ie 200, 100, 10. Not 001). This number represents the total opacity for the image. The higher the number, the more opaque. Range 255-0.

_trans_png. This only works with 24 bit PNG files!!!! This is also very resource intensive, so make this a last option. This will preserve the images alpha channel. It is the only way to make partial transparencies.

List of files: This list will increase and until final release is up for change!

header 480x50

house 50x50

XFPanelHome 480x552

alphabar 50x648

the dimensions are based on 800x480 res screen. If someone wants to experiment and give me dimensions for other resolutions, please do so!

If you have any questions about where these images are, let me know and I'll tell you

Good luck and send me the zip with your skins and I'll post the best ones here :)

One more expecting a decente facebook app :)

At this time I just use opera or skyfire cose the MS app is realy useless for me ....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
Happy to see someone here. The worst in official facebook app is there is no event for video or apps.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] gligi:
I could be a waste of time because the microsoft is developing the app too. If they manage to make the app more usable than the coding of the "new" app was useless.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Guys

Didn't you read my post?

I am not the one developing the app. I am not a developer at all.

I jsut wrote appubator an email asking them to make a new FB app for WinMo (since there was a possibility like this). They have not replied ever since though :( Maybe they did not like the idea.

Maybe we could something to convince them do do the app OR!

Try to make our own application. This place is crowded with talented and awesome coders and graphics so I think we can definitely put something together. What do you people think?

I am graphic myself - If there are coders who decide to do go for it, I would like to help with visage of the app and the overall design and UI.

Who's in the NewFB_Boat? :) Any coders?

Introduction to development

Hi,

I've start research on the net and found this.

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/

Actually there is no SDK for Windows Mobile provide by Facebook only for iphone and android.:mad:

But there is a lot of explication about how facebook work.

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api

So the first thing is to wrote ourself a SDK we can use as a library for our program.:D

I'm going to search if we can exploit official Facebook library instead.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Dude, you are genius :)

I wonder why FB guys dont include WinMo...maybe they do not find winmo very profitable?

Maybe somone with good marketing knowledge could shed some light on FB management to make understand why WinMo FB app would be great :) lol
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
I ve download everything need to start development. Tomorow i ll take a look at this and post some comment.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] newdecember:
i have a funny feeling the only reason they show the APIs for Iphone and Android is because the SDKs are open source.

but i would love a fully functional facebook app that would let me do everything, without the limitations of sense or the WM facebook app
[Windows Mobile Software Development] igolfchip:
Hi;

I'm one of the founders of appubator.

I really appreciate your interest in our company. Sorry about not responding to your e-mail. We haven't see it come through - which address did you send it to?

We've been following this thread for a while. In short, a deep, detailed app like FB isn't something that we would do. First of all, we likely couldn't charge for it. If we did, its likely that FB or Microsoft would do one better than us and then we're out the time and money to develop it.

We're more about developing many apps (perhaps 100/year), that are smaller and easier to code, and selling them on multiple smartphone platforms.

If you have any ideas for apps you'd like to see - please visit the site at www.appubator.com. Register and submit your ideas. We're reviewing them more quickly and should be able to get back to you pretty quickly with a go/no-go.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Hello igolfchip

I am glad you have responded.

I have sent my APP idea to this address: proposals@appubator.com as it was written in the article about your company.

I fully understand you. Well, at least I gave it a shot :)

I have only one note though - If MS (or FB) would do a better app than you would, why they still havent made it yet? :o

Hopefully, we will be able to do something.

@Fredz - glad to hear that :) This all seems it is moving somewhere :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] julian2596:
did you get the message i sent you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sturgie:
sure

i have attached a screen shot of the error page for you,=.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] julian2596:
thats the same error i get on my samsung jack wierd
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hmmmm... Interesting. Maybe you have too many friends and your phone runs out of memory? :D It seems to be something to do with the data portion.

Try this. In the Program Files/XDAFacebook folder, there should be a file called "data.xdf", that file holds all of the cached FB data that the program has d/l'd. It is an XML file so just rename the extension and view it on your computer. Tell if it has data, and specifically if it has your friend's list in there.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sturgie:
Ok, just checked the file and it does have my friends list in there, what does this mean? and how to solve the problem?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
well... It means that you were able to get the data, and that it is just "displaying" the data that is causing the error. What it means is that I now know where to look to find out where this error is coming from. Would you be willing to run a version of the demo that dumps a log file of what worked and what didn't? If you are, I'll whip it out after work (in a couple of hours) and PM it to you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] julian2596:
i just updated my site you can put your app on there and all that stuff or i do it for you heres the link to it go check out the site that its going to be on to

UK Stock ROM Leo (HD2)

Hi Guys!

I downloaded the BETA .CAB and ran it. I had to use the logon bypass process, but once this was done it logged in ok, although it took a moment or two, but then quite happily downloaded and displayed my 220 odd friends with no problems. The scrolling was very smooth, as was the direct jump when selecting a letter. Great work so far, nice one!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you! Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to build more of the framework. I am going to model the navigation after the iPhone application (with a home panel that you can save friends and quicklinks etc) so I want to get a lot of that done this weekend.

I talked with sopis about the graphics and we're going to talk some time soon to get everything hashed out.

Unfortunately the login speed will have to wait. I want the full skeleton done and up before I start worrying about the login speed.

Also, if anyone is having trouble with the scroll speed, let me know. I'm thinking about making the falloff configurable (?)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hquijada:
Problem

I have the same problem, I just have 130 friends and I check "data.xdf", it have information.

PD: My english it's not good enough...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, everyone that is getting this error, please uninstall the app then install the XDAFacebook_debug.CAB. This will generate an XML file with all the debug info

Please PM the results to me. Thank you!

going to see if it work on standard phones now i hope

Tested on my HTC CRuise 09 - QVGA WM 6.1

Authentification works, friend list is displayed and smooth, direct jump to a letter with the alpha bar too.

Just have one erro and will test the debug.cab.

Good Work
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kingpin32:
I installed the debug cab and im still getting an error when it try to login
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, I'm monitoring 3 new locations trying to find what is going on.

The fact that some people get it and some don't makes it kinda hard. On top of that, the error occurs on a different thread than the UI thread (meaning it's anyone's guess as to when and where it gets hit) I thought I had it pinned down with the last debug version, but I picked the wrong thread.

I just added a NEW debug CAB to the beta post. If you are getting the error involving "System.Threading.timer.ring()" please UNINSTALL your current version and install the XDAFacebook_debug.CAB found in the second post of this thread.

If this version doesn't catch the error, I'll have to do all the authorization in the main UI thread (Meaning the device will lock up while FB data is downloaded :()

Thank you for any help!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hquijada:
I tried with new debug cab, I recived the same error than the old debug cab.

The XDAFacebookDebug.xml file says the same than another debug file.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
That's interesting.

Anyone getting this error have a copy of visual studio? :)

I'll just take threading out completely with the next version. It will be slow and appear unresponsive, but atleast it will work for everyone.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aman11dhanpat:
Dude

i tried it on my HTC P3400i (GENE) qvga

but it just didnt started

could u tell exact requirments plz
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
joe...I can see you're busy as hell :p;)

anyways....I tried the app...I can't get past the Authorize screen..

I tap submit...then it shows the authorize screen..I click agreee and I am back into login screen..and it shows authorize again and then the device is slow like hell...

I am using Duttys HG 2.1 (WinMo 6.5 with Manila 2.1)

I will send you the debug.xml later...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
yes, just the .net CF 3.5 and WinMo > 6.1

sounds good, i'm going to be gone for the weekend so, i'll respond on monday :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aman11dhanpat:
dude i had installed .net CF 3.5

but i m using 6.1 professional
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
ok, that should be all you need. does it give you an error when you try to run it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aman11dhanpat:
yeah , it simply doesnt even starts

just when ever i execuit it

it shows me some .net error

shall i take a screen cap and send it to u?

it might help you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
yes, that would be very helpful :)

thank you!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mikelittle24:
I'm seeing the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yes, this is because the list does not skip letters. So, the solution is to find a friend with the last name that starts with the missing letter, or wait till the next update comes out :) It is one of those dumb oversites on the developers part. It's fixed and I'll update the first post with the bug

Thanks for the report! I never would have see the bug!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aman11dhanpat:
hey dude

the prob is fixed

actually i was using phone memory for installation

now i reinstalled to memory card and working like a charm
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aman11dhanpat:
btw here is the error i always get while i start the app

still there when i reinstalled on storage card
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, I am hoping (if Starcraft doesn't take up all of my time :)) to have a new test done by this weekend that should feature read access to all things facebook. Or just Profiles, friends list, friend's profiles, and news feeds. Depends on how much work it takes to implement everything :D

I've gotten side-scroll paneling working, fixed most of the bugs from the first beta, got Item Clicking enabled, and built a very basic Home screen. I still haven't gotten any of the graphics, so for the moment this app will be flat 2D shapes and boxes (ie, the Home button is a pink square in the top corner). BUT!!! You can use your imagination to put your own images where ever you want them to be :)

This next release will feature the following:

Non-threading login

Looser smooth scrolling

less falloff for the kinetic scrolling

Dynamic falloff for kinetic scrolling (the larger the list, the less falloff)

Most of the basic READ functionality from your facebook profile

Spash Screen and auto login (if enabled)

Basic navigation features

What it will NOT have

Submit capabilities

Fixed Authentication form

UI Graphics :(

Login speed

Updatability

The Updatability means, once you download facebook data, it will be cached and the only way to get newer updated info is to delete the cache file and re-download everything. This is because for these first few releases, I want to get the UI working, then I'll focus on making the data portion smoother.

Stay tuned and make sure to check back on Friday/Saturday! I'll post any ETA changes if they occur.

Thank you again for all the support!
