Hello people,
I've recently blessed myself with this monstrous beauty, and I don't wish to root/etc. but merely enjoy the stock experience. However, I have one minor issue that I want to resolve.
The sharkspace doesn't automatically detect all games, and if I manually add a game, then often the phone simply picks up the same icon image and pastes it onto the preview Image for its button.
Is there a way to modify these images, or no?

Well, Its great to see HTC did nothing at all to fix the contact image bug that results in the image being rubbished post Google Sync in the new firmware.
Why the hell can they not just link the image to the contact (because you as a user did this by choice) and not compress it sooo hard that it turns to ****e ??
Surely a user assigned image should take preference over the image it sends or tries to send to Google ??
SpaceBook images remain OK though, but your high res self assigned image gets destroyed as soon as you sync.
Mad. Considering its one of the highlighted (marketing wise) features of the Sense and TouchFLO UI's, I am amazed its not been fixed in the new firmware release.
Rant over.
WoW.
Just been selecting pictures from my album of pics copied over from my computer (DSLR images mainly) to assign to a contact. Thought I'd redo them to see if the quality still gets reduced post syncing to Google with the latest formware (they don't BTW)... anyway.
Loaded up a picture containing two faces and blow me down, the picture appeared not with the usual single green cropping rectangle, but with two and a message requesting I select a face to assign to the contact. Very clever indeed.
If you want both faces in the image, just select one and then resize the resulting crop area as per normal.
Never noticed this in the 1.0 firmware.
cheers joe for this hint!!! wooooow i'm impressed

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It was in the first version of the firmware.
Really ? Cool.
They must have improved it then because with the same image it didn't detect the faces, this time round it picked both out.
Ive been looking for an option to set what the filename of photos are but i cant seem to see it. I pretty sure there isnt one, which is kinda disapointing. It woiuld be nice to be able to set it so pictures area easier to find when backed up.
I have t in the park coming uip (working) and it would be good to be able to set the filename to t in the park day 1, and so on for easy uploading to our webnsite and facebook.
when i had the g1 i could do this no problem.
IM starting to regret not waiting on the desire coming back in stock. the large screen just isnt making up for all the things its lacking in software.
ok i found that you can enable prefix for storage card, but i dont want date prefixing, i want custom one
Do you just want to change the file name? Open the image in the album, bring up the controls for the picture, hit the right most icon, Properties, and Rename is located on the right softkey.
No i want to set a prefix so that my photos can be orginised better. isnteam of imagennn i want for instance, t in the parknnn.
So i can basically set it, take pictures, then change it to something else etc
Hey folks,
Not sure if anyone knew this, but felt I needed to share in case someone was struggling with this.
I was trying to change my wallpaper to this cool one (http://picasaweb.google.com/106634558980524885375/Android#5510327223138403954) I found from a member of another Droid X site. I forget the owners tag, my apologies.
Anyway, I wanted to view neary the entire image as my background, but when going to Media Gallery it kept displaying an orange box that didn't allow me to select the full focus of the image. So, I tried resize the image 5 ways to sunday so I could see nealry the full image. No good.
So as I was resigning myself to the alloted small focus area, I, by chance placed both my thumbs on the orange boxes edges and it changed to allow re-sizing of that box!
Now I view the more interesting sections of the image and still allow the scrolling between desktops.
Hey,
I'm new to android dev (extremely) but I'm not new to software dev, but I'm very confused.
So here's my end objective: To capture a photo and be able to edit it at the pixel level.
I'm completely lost in how to do that. Okay, let me rephrase, not completely lost. PLEASE don't link me to a bunch of tutorials, I've read them all.
I'm lost on a few apparently key concepts:
- SurfaceView - What exactly IS a surface? I read the doc from android dev for it, but I'm not quite grasping it. Is it just used to display or subclass it for OpenGL, or picture viewports? Or is there more to it?
- Every camera tutorial mentions subclassing surface.holder, implementing canvas methods methods (changed, create, destroyed), and that's that - which is fine, if you're going to preview an image there, which I want...but what about taking the actual picture, that leads me to..
- StartPreview function, what the hell does this thing do, all it does is crash my phone, I don't want to "preview" anything, I want to take a picture using the built in camera activity, and store in a surface, do whatever pixel manipulations I need, and possibly write it back out to the SDCard
What does the preview have to do with anything? Every tutorial (including android's includes it), but I can't figure out for the life of me what the thing does...I could see if you wanted a camera viewport in your app, but I don't.
Now what I DID do was start the camera activity using the intent, then store the callback "data" into the surface, the problem with this, though, is it's EXTREMELY pixelated, the image previewed in the surface is of horrible quality, like it's a thumbnail. What gives? I used this code:
Code:
Bitmap thumbNail = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
mImageViewer.setImageBitmap(thumbNail);
So yeah, sorry the questions are so sparsed out, just been confused as hell and am unfortunately on a truncated time table - nobody's been able to explain anything so far, just have what I have from playing with it..
TIA, sorry for the long post
Bump*
Anybody? Somebody's had to use the camera before in an app..
