PIcture with my focus

THis is probably the best picture I've taken with my focus, but I have taken a LOT.

Just remember to always go turn image stabilization on.
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
See, ive always been told the opposite...image stabalization actually blurs pictures...but that was with other smartphones.

Could it be different with the focus I wonder?
[Focus General] SuperSport:
I have found it to be very important with the Focus. Without it, they are very blurry, especially indoors under low light.

Speaking of this, does anyone know if your setting changes can be saved? It's a pain to continually turn these settings back on every time I want a photo or HD Video.
[Focus General] cbebop7:
as of now I dont think the changes in camera app can be saved, however the jan update should probably remedy this. I just hope MS releases atleast a minor update in jan and atnt doesnt hold it back.
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
Hmmm....I can't seem to get decent pics indoors under low light....Ill play with the anti-shake option in about 10mins and see if pictures are different. You have me curious now.

How about outdoors during the day or when you have sufficient lighting, would you still consider anti-shake important on this phone?
[Focus General] AngelSpirit:
Here my doggy taken with the phone (no flash was crap with it!)

Lazer Cat!

By accident I realized that if I just press the shutter and take a pic of the cat without the half press to let the thing focus and adjust the flash output, I get these great glowing eye shots. The pics end up blurry as well as I'm not giving the camera a chance to focus but the shots have been a crack up.

I have a bunch shots of the cat looking cute under the Christmas tree or other such thing with those demonic glowing eyes.
[Focus General] OGCF:

[Focus General] pigue:
Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised, this was the first picture I took on this phone. Unfortunately today it Crapped out and had to order a replacement. Hope the new one has a "Magic" camera as well. By the way this is my back yard.

[Focus General] SuperSport:
Detail is definately not an issue with this phone. Here's my 'Leaper' trying to keep the snow off my hood during a recent visit to my nephew's house in Reno, NV.

A shot of the freeway in Truckee, CA at 3am closed due to an accident. An 8 hour wait for the road to re-open... :( That shot was taken from my nephew's semi-truck. I've ridden along with him a few times lately.

Also, a trip to South LakeTahoe where I took a brief moment to fly my R/C plane and helicopter. :D These driving photos were taken by me while driving and through the windows. (Can you say Cellphone Ticket? :o) Unfortunately, some of them were resized, and I don't have the orginal sizes here. The one through the windshield that looks all blurry like a photo effect is actually frozen water on my windshield. It was 19 degrees, and I could not get it to clear.

The only thing I really would like is the ability to save my settings. For me, if I forget to set Anti-Shaking, I usually get blurry photos.

Here you can see a couple macro shots I took for a thread on XDA to show what Micro SD Card I have installed. Incredible detail. Look at your SD Card and you will see what I mean. I can't even read the letters on the back with the naked eye.

I also took some video w/ the Focus from that Lambo drive. I'll have to apologize for the jitter, it's hard to keep the camera still when we're going over bumps and accelerating/decelerating:

As much as I LOVE driving my car being the XJR, I have to admit, it makes me a bit tingly hearing the Lambo motor roar... My car is muffled, so you don't get the full experience. Well, until it plants you back into your seat that is. :D

Attached is a picture I took with my Focus of my cat Loki.

I used Macro, No Flash, and Wide Dynamic Range. The photo looks really good on my phone with Super AMOLED.

Its funny how many people compliment the photos on the Focus. Often me and friends or coworkers will be at Disney and all snap basically the same photo. Then when we share them on Facebook, and they say "How come your photo looks so much better then my (insert iPhone/Android model here) phone" :)

[Nook Color General] phinphan:
I was able to successfully install and use Smart Keyboard Pro. The lack of a keyboard settings program was a real problem. I was able to copy the apk to the sdcard and then using root explorer I copied it to /system/app and then ran it from that directory and installed it. I next used the Keyboard Manager program from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830177 to select which keyboard for portrait and which for landscape. I have not yet figured out where to put the downloaded dictionary. It is much preferable to the NC keyboard IMHO. Time to try some other keyboards.

Edit - I was able to copy over the dictionary file and adb installed it without a problem.

Hopefully this will work with other keyboards.
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
There are two problems involved:

1. You can't enable an IME, because such setting is lacking

2. You can't switch IME, because long tapping a field doesn't give you any popup

Putting the keyboard into /system/app makes it automatically trusted (1) and enabled.

With the keyboard manager you can then fix (2).

However, I believe the same thing can be achieved by editing settings.db (the one where you also enable non market apps) manually. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to edit this with a (root permissioned) app though.

Anyway, good work!! I'll try your method with SwiftKey and some Japanese keyboard later.

UPDATE: I couldn't get it to work... KeyboardManager kept on nagging about a missing permission (WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS or something like that).
[Nook Color General] phinphan:
Try changing the permissions of the file in /system/app to allow all groups and users full access. That worked for me. I am typing this on Better Keyboard right now.
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
It was my fault... I hadn't read the KeyboardManager instructions. I had installed it as a normal app. Now that I placed it in /system/app as well it "worked".

Well, SwiftKey worked perfectly fine, but I couldn't get OpenWnn plus (adaption of the standard Japanese IME of Android) to work. It does show me the keyboard but as soon as I press a key it disappears.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
I can't get either of the keyboards to show up in keyboard manager... I've tried swiftkey and smart keyboard pro both.
[Nook Color General] phinphan:
I am currently using better keyboard which is my favorite. Try rebooting a couple of times as that seemed to help me along with changing permissions.
[Nook Color General] pezhore:
How did you get it working? I tried downloading SwiftKey from the market, but it isn't showing up in Keyboard manager... did you install it on an android phone, configure it, then pull the apk over to the nook?
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
I just got Ultra Keyboard installed using this method. If your not familiar with it Ultra is very customizable and has what they call "tracing" which is just like swype! I had to change the permissions to get it to work I checked all of the boxes which probably isn't required but I don't know much about permissions.
[Nook Color General] Ellerbestyle:
Where is the apk for smart keyboard pro. I downloaded it from the market but cant find it.
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
Should be in data/app It probably will have a weird name but the little symbol should be a keyboard
[Nook Color General] Ellerbestyle:
It worked. Something happened and I had no keyboard at all. I opened the keyboard manager and there were no keyboards listed. I sort of freaked out a little lol. I restarted and smart keyboard pro was listed. So I felt a lot better and all I can say is the iphone keyboard looks awesome.
[Nook Color General] Ellerbestyle:
How would one get the english dictionary working for smart keyboard? I can do adb commands just not sure what to do. I downloaded the english dictionary when it prompted me to but thats all I have done. I have the sdk working on a windows 7 machine if that helps also.
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
I downloaded and installed it from the market..
[Nook Color General] Ellerbestyle:
Thought someone said you had to adb install to install it.
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
Nevermind I got it
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I installed SwiftKey from the market, adb su'ed, mv'ed it to /system/app and rebooted, used the NookTools to enable it. It's working great.

Caveat: Looks like some of the text in the configuration is missing or it's grey-on-grey and can't read it.. So I read someone suggesting setting it up beside your phone so you can see what the options are. Basically anywhere there's a list of settings with radio buttons or checkboxes, no text. But the settings, and keyboard itself is all fine.

Don't bother to launch it from the launcher, it just gets stuck trying to turn itself on, just go through the Nook Tools and do it, and once you enable it, use the Config button on the keyboard to enter the configuration.

I'll be posting in their forums about this to see what they can do.
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
No matter what I do I can't get Smart Keyboard installed :(

Can someone PLEASE post exact steps how to install the apk ?

I have it installed but can't see it in keyboard manager :(

Thanks
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
I bought it from the market and installed it. Then I copied the apk file from /data/app to /system/app. Then I made sure the permissions were rw-r--r--. Then I rebooted and went into the Nook Color Tools and selected the default keyboard to smart keyboard pro
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
Thanks for the prompt reply

I'll try that - if I figure out how to set permissions :)
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Remount /system, copy the apk to system, chmod 644 the com.whatever.file.apk, reboot.
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
Darn that was EASY if explained well :)

MANY THANKS !!!
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
Thanks for your help as well, I used Root manager instead :)
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
I have one more question, is there way to use another language in the spell check like I have on my HTC Desire? I installed both language packs but where on my phone I get the Mic icon shared with language selection I don't have this option on the Nook.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] lucifurious:
What's the secret sauce HERE? No matter which keyboard I install, no other keyboard are listed in nooktools. Perms are correct.
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
I have followed this advice:

Bought it from the market and installed it. Then I copied the apk file from /data/app to /system/app. Then I made sure the permissions were rw-r--r--. Then I rebooted and went into the Nook Color Tools and selected the default keyboard to smart keyboard pro.

and it worked immediately
[Nook Color General] devis:
To add to the above...

I use Root Explorer to copy the APK from the download location. Then I go into System/App and set it to R/W then paste the APK. While still inside the folder, find the APK on the list, hold click until a menu shows up and select Permissions. From left to right, first column, check all. Second column, check top box only. Third colum, check top box only. Close. Back to main screen and reboot NC. Once rebooted, go to NookColorTools and find the keyboard you want right there.

Now I understand that Root Explorer doesn't always give R/W permissions to System/App but in my case it always has, so I haven't looked for a different solution. The alternative is to set permissions through adb but being the linux ignorant I am, I have no clue what the commands are.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
I managed to install both the Smart Keyboard Pro app and the English pack. I was also able to select it in the Tools, change the permissions, and use it without a problem. (Its great! :))

However, every time I run the Smart KB app from my app drawer, and click on "settings," it immediately crashes out to my home screen.

Is there any way to fix this, or perhaps an alternative way to get into settings and switch the skin?

I've rebooted several times, wiped the data in Titanium, and even tried reinstalling. Nothing helps, so I can't get into the settings. :(

Sent from my Nooted friend...
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
Same here, that's why I can't enable another language :(
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
Any idea why settings on smart keyboard can't be accessed ?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
Have you tried holding down the 123 button? Thats how I get into the settings
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
Wow, that did it - Thanks

It only crashes when I access it via the icon in App folder
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
That works... Thank you!

Sent from my Nooted friend...
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
SwiftKey does the same thing... I suspect it's trying to access a Settings area that doesn't exist. But keyboards that can go directly to their own config work fine.
[Nook Color General] Skilover:
I had your exact problem. I found the Smart keyboard apk file, moved it to the system/app folder, changed settings so the user had all read/write/execute permissions; I then ran install. After re-booting, it finally did show up in the list!
[Nook Color General] bengt_a:
SwiftKey installation

Just a short comment since I had to struggle quite a bit to get SwiftKey to work. To install it, I found the following steps very helpful:

First, download SwiftKey from Market and try to install it. When it gets stuck, exit the installation. Use Root Explorer and go into the data/app folder. Find SwiftKey. Mount the folder as r/w (button on top of screen in Root Explorer), click on Swiftkey and select "Move". Then navigate to system/app and paste it there. Reboot, and then it will show up in the keyboard list! (Thanks xjcannonx at Androidcentral!)

To change language modules to e.g. Swedish :D the radio buttons and tickboxes are all blank. They are however listed in the following order:

Language modules

English-US

English-UK (default)

Czech

Danish

Dutch

French

German

Italian

Norwegian

Polish

Portugese

Spanish

I hope you find this helpful. :)
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
That exact information is on the Nook Devs Wiki, but thanks for the language/keyboard lists, those can be helpful.. I compared to my Nexus One to set up mine but if the NC is your only device, it definitely helps.

Hi

I got problems installing another keyboard apk:

got smart keyboard pro 3.14 which I downloaded moved it to system/app and rebooted it after chmod 644 to the file. Then after reboot set the keyboard to smart keyboard pro and tried to enter something in the URL line but the keyboard does not show up at all. Also if accessing keyboard settings it just crashes (also without the smart keyboard pro), but the program being shown in extras and also accessable until I want to edit the settings.

Did anyone habve a similar problem? Or is there a better keyboard I could try to use? What I need the most would be a qwertz-keyboard...

Thanks for helping...

edit: also have the same problem with better keyboard: installing using adb went fine, rebooting, then switching to better keyboard the keyboard is not shown and when accessing the apk itself to modify settings the application just crashes.

But nothing happens I can not see my vibrant, it does not shows up.as the 2 drives. I see in the control panel that the samsung drivers are still there. I tried to uninstall it, because I still have the driver exe and want to do a fresh re-install. But it won't uninstall , the uninstall window just hangs there for maybe 30 minutes. I decided to end the program thru task manager.
