Concept for messaging app.

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!

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.

Video guide "beta"

Hey fellas!
I've spent the last couple weeks making a bunch of tutorials and things for people just getting into the scene and those that want to learn a new thing or two. I got tired of seeing all the crappity crap crap videos that were OK but nothing stellar, and usually poor quality resolution wise. Here's a taste of what I've been up to. I hope to have the core of my series done by the end of the week. I say hope because I've redone every video 2-3 times, and I keep finding something new to play with each time.
So, with that. This is a link invite only. I'd just like to know what you guys think, or if maybe you have some ideas you'd like me to take a shot at. I do have more interactive videos that zoom, highlight, and point out things when it requires steps to do so (i.e Odin which is a GREAT video so far). Most of my videos have 3 vantage points. The computer screen, the screen on the phone, and me handling the phone sometimes simultaneously.
Here is just a taste of what I'm up to.
***Edit***
I added the first video so you guys can get a better idea. I've only activated the rooting option at the end, which should take you to the second video (original one I posted) Enjoy!

Dude, that is very professional looking..... very, very nice. Thank you for using my sticky as a background, looks cool scrolling.

yes, and a link takes you to this video should you choose the rooting direction. Those videos are mostly done, but aren't linked yet. I think you'll be surprised on what I've done with them.

Really looking forward to it, when all done... this will be at the top of each sticky (General and Q&A).
I did some videos for the noob guide that are not even close to this in quality (my daughter was sleeping next to me, shot with a nexus one, and no editing). One thing that I do get asked a lot is when going from eclair > froyo > eclair. How to ODIN back to stock... and flashing kernels (about the simplest thing ever). I imagine you touched on some of this already, just giving some feedback to you that I received.
Here is a good guide on going back to stock, just in case:

Yup, so far I've got my core essentials in. It's just fine tuning them and making sure I like them. Basically a person who has never seen a vibrant will be able to decide what they want to do with their phone, rooted or not. There is the intro which give you a choice to root, or not to root, or what is root if they're clueless. From there, it branches out to theming and rooting topics. Hopefully by the start of next week I'll be able to do some of the kernal flashing details and the different roms going around so people can see visually what's going on and decide before hand what that particular angle is all about.

Looks great!

Nice work!

Nice video man, it's like a documentary of the phone. I like it, it's better than those other generic reviews

Nice vid. Now you have to tell us how you got the 3d user interface on there, and about the programs you're running on it to make those customizations.

You may use Go Launcher which supports 3D carousel movement of screens. Just an optional good launcher.

Cheers man! Battery life varies heaps. Strangley, browsing the web probably takes the most and gaming is a relatively small drain. In standby ~1 % per 6 hours or more. so that's insane but for heavy use probably 12-14 hours? moderate use 1 -2 days at an absolute stretch..
I do use ADW EX with a few theme plug ins etc (i'll post a full tutorial soon) Cheers for watching!

I really enjoyed watching that. Artistic and the best I've seen!

Very nice
Thanks man.

Excellent video. Looking forward to the tute.
One bit of hopefully constructive criticism for you though - you really need to used a tripod for your video recording device. Shaky handcam makes it look less professional and detracts from what you are trying to show off because it cant keep focus quickly enough for all the small movements you are making.

Great Video and Fantastic UI

Loving this video and what you've done with your g-note!!!
Any time-scales on when you'll have the tutorial ready?

Cool Dude!
I'm wondering what version of MultiPicture Live Wallpaper do u use, cuz every version that i tried on my HD2 and now on my Note it's loading when i unloock the phone.
Tnx for the answer.

Excellent video. But you do need to make that cam less shaky... I'd advice, in case you want to keep the video "in-motion", is that you reseat the cellphone between scenes, change into portrait and landscape, isntead of allowing it to be shaky. Very artistic tough, very creative, and quite thorough.
BTW, it's been reasonably stablished by users in this forum that browinsg eats your battery because of the white backgroud. The opera browser (and perhaps others) have options to change default background color, just like the "kindle" app does. That extends battery greatly. Wi-fi is also a culprit here, so keep it in 3g.

HTC Zoe - Thoughts?

When I first heard about Zoe, I thought that it would simply take a few photos and a 3 second video whenever you take a picture. I also thought that it couldn't be turned off.
That was really putting me off because it would take way too much memory storing Zoe's all the time.
My mind changed, however, when I saw the following video -
It shows that it can be turned on and off at will and it shows a few more of the video editing that can be done natively rather than needing to download a separate app.
What are your thoughts on Zoe? Is it a good integration? Do you think you'll use it a lot? What do you think could be added to Zoe to make it better?

i didn't know Zoe did all of that which was showed in the video. Might be a neat little feature once you get the hang of it

I can see myself using and enjoying Zoe a lot, it's a really interesting and useful software IMO.

I agree, this time, HTC has included a bunch of useful softwares too

I'm only worried about how much storage space will take having all that.

Got to use the device the other day and I must say the Zoe feature does have a wow factor we took a few Zoe snaps and the displayed on a reel and it did look incredibly impressive. I would think the novelty would wear off eventually but im still going for it

Thank you for posting this video. Prior to seeing it, I was rather meh about the HTC One. Now that I see all of the photo editing functions brought on by the HTC Zoe feature, I will definitely be picking this phone up immediately. The three second clip itself I am not too interested in, but all of the abilities to manipulate photographs (sequence/touch-ups/removal) thanks to the additional frames provided by HTC Zoe makes for a wonderful experience to be had.

I'm not too keen on the 3 second clip either but perhaps we will be able to disable that bit but still have all the other useful features which Zoe is packed with. I haven't had a chance to test the One yet so I can't be certain about it yet though.
The sequence and removals will definitely be ideal though because the sequence will be perfect when I'm BMXing (just like it shows in the video) and removals are perfect for pictures being taken in a crowded public place.

That's what I'm thinking but IF the 3 second clip can be disabled then it won't take up too much space really.

I won't be able to test one out until possibly tomorrow and will make sure Zoe is the first feature I test out, just to see it in all its glory
You're right that the novelty will wear off at some point but will still be handy regardless.

I want to see if we can use our own audio tracks for the soundtrack feature, be it an available option or by finding the folder where they are stored and adding what we want.

From looking through this thread and the stock recovery thread (in development section), dev support really won't be a problem and will likely get root and custom ROMs available fairly quickly.

Anyone really tested this out yet? I know the One is already available in some countries, so hopefully some testers are around

I have a One, and have been taking a few Zoes.
One thing you need to know is that they will eat up space fast. Each Zoe stores 20 full 4MP frames, plus an mp4 video with audio, for a total of about 36MB for each Zoe.
The highlight video is neat but a little buggy. The filter for selecting which photos of an event are to be included doesn't work, so if you only want a subset you have to copy the subset to another event (gee, even more space eaten) as a workaround until HTC fixes it. Besides that, it works well. The songs you can pick are tied to the set of transition effects and filters used, which are matched to the beat of the music. The photos it picks and what order they go in is unfortunately random. No ability for custom songs and transitions yet.
I haven't experimented with the retouches yet, but the potential is pretty impressive for things like Always Smile. I can foresee myself taking Zoes indstead of stills and then only keeping the best frame for a lot of photography applications.
You cannot digital zoom when taking Zoes. It would look really bad anyway though, 4MP is not enough for quality digital zoom - Stills are terrible zoomed.

Thanks for pointing out that highlight selection bug. Thought I was doing something wrong there . Works good as alternative splitting events and selecting the stuff I want to use in a new highlight. Hope htc fixes this in a future update.

[Q] picture rendering time problem?

I didn't notice any problem like this in any of my other devices.
but whenever i take a picture with G2, and try to have a look at it in gallary,
the picture would first look really blurry at first.
and after 0.5~1 second, the the blur image would get cleaned up from top to bottom of the screen in multiple section, from right to left.
is this normal? or do i have a defect phone?
sorry for the multiple threads, my computer froze up for a second :/

It's normal. These are HUGE images and it is just essentially needing time to "load" it up and process it.
You can also try using a third-party app like Quick Pic which I think does a little better job of caching things.
But no, you don't have a defective phone just because of that.

okay, thanks for the info.
can i ask you few more question? i don't feel like starting another thread.
first question is about the camera. whenever i try to record something while moving the camera, the camera would try to focus itself very often. it feels like it's doing it too much. is this normal?
second, i don't know if you would know this, but would outdated router prevent G2 from getting connect to the home network?
thx XD

1) Yea, its normal for the G2, but its hardly ideal. It is something that has been mentioned in reviews and hopefully a future patch fixes it and makes it more stable.
2) Yes, it would. I've owned routers flat out incompatible for whatever reason with some devices I own. You may have luck forcing the router into a particular channel and/or G-mode -- or upgrading its firmware.

Hmm, my 1080p 60fps video is fine on playback...
I usually opt for 720p though just to conserve space and because the video usually ends up on facebook or youtube anyway so it isn't like 1080/60 is necessary.
