Check this iPhone app out that was reported on by Engadget. Looks like a cool concept and maybe something someone is interested in integrating. Just sharing the info. Enjoy!
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/05/14/emailnwalk-iphone-app-finally-lets-us-leave-the-house/
Basically for anyone that doesn't understand this it uses the camera input for the background so you can watch where your walking while typing. I think this can be done but no for devices with laggy cameras it could be done for them but I think it would be pointless. Such as the kaiser. (Though HTC camera 6.8 reduces alot of lag) Im willing to help with the UI
nice concept
lol,awesome
i might add this to my fim if its possible to hook the camera view.
I'm sorry but.... It's a nosense app!!I mean the only thing I would see behind the texting gaps would be.... THE GROUND
Think about it... when you're typing a sms you do it lookig DOWN to your device so the camera would record the ground!!!

But why do you do it looking down? So you can look up and see where you are going.

But it´s uncorfotable at all!! You have to put your arm to do it and... you´d look quite stupid in that position!!!

This is true. Anyhow, I sure wasn't saying I wanted or needed this developed. I just wanted to pass it along to the community JIC someone was interested.
Keep the info coming in, ya know?
I WANT IT PLEASE would be awesome for walking and if you could use the flashlight too
I don't know how useful would this be... but it would definitely be cool!
The main use of this app would obviously be while driving or riding a motorcycle.

I'd like to nominate this app as the most annoying app ever
Let me know if you think it deserves this prize
Wow that is pretty god dam annoying .
My eyes are still trying to get back to normal wrinting this post

I had trouble reading my own post too
One hint I can give anyone wanting to try it is: DO NOT LOOK INTO THE LIGHT
Did you make this software or just find it laying around somewhere

Wrote it myself
oh man, that's awesome!
could you do me a favor and remove the screen-strobe (so the flashlight only strobes) and upload?
Nice
i thought of another good use for it. When driving down a road and coming up to a speed camera if the car in front is sort of annoying you, you could flash it just to worry em and see if they respond.
The only thing u would need is a bigger button in the GUI and maybe pressed once to start and once to stop.
Sorry just my mind wandering again
Wicked app !
As mentioned, would be absolutely GRRREEEEEAAAATTTT if the screen strobe could be disabled, that way we can blind others without at the same time blinding ourselves lol !
I could disable the screen-strobe, but then the light-flashes would be less-bright.
Somehow if I tell the universal to use ultra-bright flash, it automatically turns off the LCD-backlight, presumably to reserve power to the flash.
When writing it I didn't really have any use in mind apart from annoying friends, but I'll look into the suggestions you guys posted and see if I can come up with anything better
haha minted mate
Could this be made to run when theres an incoming call?
I cant think why you'd ever want to, but there is a chance
JAmes
ps. there a big redish area in the middle of everything i look at now......

I reccomend to rename this thread hoping the solution - explanation how to use the camera view as background on TF3D can be accomplished.
Can not be else than some reg tweaks - but which ones...THAT is the question
Wow, thats a battery saver
But cool is that the top and bottom menu are trasparent!
My guess is that it is a picture theme and the theme is the tf3d screen, so you probably couldn'y actaully use the phone from there.
Thats what I reckon anyway
guys- look carefully at the clip.
it is not recorded - it is the camera showing live stream as you would record or take a picture.
Certainly not a battery saver as it uses the autofocus function which is mechanic and consumes more.
However, it is really cool.
ahhh... the possibilities
think this, and the beer app!! get it... see through beer glass!

Greetings to all.
looks awesome BUT, thats a CDMA diamond with 256 MB of ram and its running so slow to his gesture commands. i have a feeling that it would make your GSM diamonds puke and it would be bailrly useable for the CDMA users. HOWEVER it is very sweet!
So...it is or it isn't a fake !?

T-Mobile version is a Victor by design, not that it matters
it isnt standard anyway; ive got one. the standard rom is as slow as it gets.

At 16secs when taking the phone towards the camera he should have took the camera towards the phone: the phone's image dont change.
I believe it is really a fake. The image just doesnt look right. That swinging left/right is very unnatural.
So I vote for fake
I don't understand what the big deal is? I don't have that creative of a mind though so maybe I'm not thinking of something cool that could be done with this...
looks fake given the display angle on the screen doesn't match the angle of the camera on the subject.
i suspect it's a mirror that's used to reflect the object image onto the shinny reflective screen on the diamond. But I could be wrong.
regardless, very creative!
I'd say he just used chroma keying
DarkAngelFR picked up this project and has a working app up and running... check out his blog @ http://blog.idlezone.org/pages/HTC/DarkRuler
original thread (how it started)
....A couple days ago i stumbled accross an App for the iPhone called RulerPhone and i thought it would be a cool tool to have for the diamond. Since our diamonds screen isnt multitouch, the tool would have to do without it and the lost ease of navigation could be accomplished using additional onscreen buttons.
Here is a basic explanation of the tool. Lets say u need to measure the with of your bookcase but u dont have anything to measure it. well you could guess how wide it is, OR you take out your Diamond, place a creditcard in the case and take a picture of the bookcase from within DiamondRuler. Once the picture is taken, you align the creaditcard from the picture with the placeholder on your screen using the touchdisplay, the zoom buttons on the display and the NavWheel. Once u have it all aligned you lock the picture and now you can start measuring your bookcase. the diamond will calculate the distances for you.
Is there a developer out there willing to take on the task? Let me know via PM.
Here are some Mockups of the GUI.
reserved for later use (maybe)
awesome idea
wow what a program!it is evolutionary!!
Flattering
If anybody would like to contact me about RulerPhone (I'm the developer) or inquire about development hints, please feel free to do so via the email address at http://benkamens.com/rulerphone. I am more than willing to share.
If the final design is going to be so blatantly RulerPhone-esque (to put it nicely...), I would appreciate a simple reference and link back to RulerPhone as the originating idea for what may be DiamondRuler.
Awesome idea!
I hate all these amazing iphone applications, getting very jealous of the iphone...
Must remember iphone GPS is rubbish....Iphone cant run all my favourite WM applications....
i remeber there was a ruler application for the N95..it could measure the distance between you and the object, height, angle...
certainly an interesting application to have
Nice whiskey collection! Nice idea for an app
Great idea !!
Should be really funny
@kamens : do you encounter special problems for developing this (I mean hard picture analysis coding...) ? I may develop this kind of funny tool for "windows mobile" but afraid of getting in hard "card finding algorithme".....
See Ya
DarkAngel
PS: excuse my english
no programmer up for the task?
i would code it myself, but by programmingskills just suck

Don't worry.. as soon as someone creates this app the Diamond will become world renowned! And the best part.. this is impossible for the iPhone to perform

Hello,
I made a quick develpment just to have fun with my HTC...Looks to work but I have many small bugs and small things I want to add in...
I will post soon a beta of my app this app will allow you to measure anything that fit in your screen when making photo ^^
Anyone wants to test ?

Yes please
Looks like a great app i'm subscribing to this thread for sure
If you need a tester i'm happy to help.
this will be amazing
would like to test as well
Hello!
Beta Release is available, if you wants to test contact me by private message.
Will post the app in about a week if not many bugs found!
Thanx to testers and to fluid888 for the idea, to Kamens for its iPhone apps (thanx to a friend here for showing this to me "live", really impressive), to anyone in the beta, to the GSensor SDK Creator, .....
Ok I can see some potential for this if it can be calibrated to any accuracy. But how would parallax errors be dealt with and also spherical aberration could cause problems.
Interesting "bookcase" you have there fluid888, I think I might have read one or two of them myself!
lol
Sorry but I didn't implement any kind of spherical aberration algorythm yet lol... interesting but not really something easy to do!
Maybe in release 12.3.4.5 I will try to implement this let's make the v 0.1 working before
Hope we can get hands on this one!!

Check out the rest of the TATMobileUI videos on Youtube as well, very promising!!
this + g-sensor = win
I wouldn't use it on a day to day basis, but it would be soo cool to show off to friends
My poor old Hermes would probably just curl up and die if I start it tho
looks pretty cool though, looks like you need an accelerator and some nice good drivers: dont think my tilt can handle it
lol i look up at their video like the combination lock... its awesome but where do we get it
EDIT:
Code:
http://www.tat.se/
found there web
Are you saying they've got stuff to download ?
I can't find any URL....
Granted it looks cool although I would not use it day to day, it would get oh, so annoying after a while. Do you know how much time you use from one thing to the next? Just to look a phone number which you can just press say, 549 for search and dial. To have them come up, you have to slide, the swinging inertia thingies are annoying and distracting after a while, then slide a cool looking picture carousel then slide to your friend THEN dial.
Will be big with the Iphone "Ooohhh... looks shinny!" crowd though.
wrong place to post this
closed.
NOTE: This quick video just shows my modifications and applications on my Nexus 5. If you want me to go into detail about each of them let me know as this is not a 'tutorial' video, but more like a 'teaser'. I hope you enjoy the video XD.
Any feedback?
ill be honest, not to hurt your feelings or anything, because that's not what im trying to do.. but why does it matter to me what apps and mods that you decided to use?

-well first off I did this as I like making videos and had no idea what to do so just did this as I am not getting feedback on specific things..
-people can discover new 'mods' xposed framework to download
-to see how AWESOME the NEXUS is
-because my videos are awesome?
is there any other type of video you would like to see?

i think your vids can help more, if they got out more into the public, not really much help on xda though. more of the public is uninformed, as it would help there.

I like the video. Music is good for the type of video, +1 to the wallpaper because turbos, intro is cool, +1 to the themes, I like the Settings tiling up animation (not sure if that makes sense).
Only thing I would say is smoother camera handling (e.g. min. 55, min. 2:13-2:15) and the angle you have your phone is good but at some points it's hard to tell what app, or what setting you're doing/using because the very top left is blurry.
Also I can tell I'm bored right now waiting for the wifey because I just spent a lot of time reviewing a 3 minute video lol
What's the purpose of the video?
Why not link apps and mods properly with descriptions and instructions.
Why not a step-by-step or how-to?
A 3 minute video I'm forced to watch is useless.
Why spend 3 minutes looking at something?
Now you have to pause, rewind, fast forward parts if you missed something.
Everything written out would save time and not waste everyone else's.
All I see is a video to generate views.

As stated above...I purposely made it without all that because it would be a waste of time. As I have asked what kind of videos people would like to see with no feedback, so I created this for fun. And you are forced? I don't see anyone holding a gun to your head...I mean go dislike, knock yourself out XD
