This is a very odd question - however, I have not been able to find an answer. I would like to use a camcorder to record while deer hunting. However, I would also like to stream this content live over the web - with my only communication to the outside world being my AT&T tilt, is there any way to possibly connect a camcorder to the phone - and then have some kind of program running in the background uploading it to a site on the web?
This is a very ODD request, I know. However, if there is a better way to do this I am open to any ideas you may have. Some of you may ask why I don't just use the phone itself to project the images....the problem is I need the zoom and night vision from the camera... Thanks for your help!
Wow... Give me a second to process this.......

OK. I think you'd probably be more able to connect the Camcorder to a Laptop and use internet sharing on your Tilt to connect the Laptop to the web.
Reasons Are,
1) I don't know if there is a way to connect your Camcorder to your Kaiser. No Firewire ports on here.
2) If you could connect it, I doubt there would be drivers for the Camcorder on Windows Mobile.
3) I'm not sure about there being a program that could turn your Camcorder into a Webcam for your Kaiser. But I bet there is one for an XP machine.
4) I don't think you'd get much battery life out of the Kaiser this way.
5) I don't think the 400Mhz Processor in the Kaiser could handle all this processing.

I have been scouring through the different Kaiser,Polaris and Diamond threads that concern driver issues that we would all want solved. What i have found is that all 3 of these phones use similar driver .dlls and if HTC drops a driver for one of those 3 phones....will somebody be able to render the drivers to work for the other 2 phones that the driver didnt come out for? Like if the diamonds drivers are droped, will Polaris and Kaiser individuals be able to use the same driver to help there video playback? Seems highly unlikely for HTC to drop individual drivers for all 3 top level HTC phones but maybe a universal QUalcomm MS7200 chipset driver for these phones would come out. If not, would somebody be able to make a Polaris driver work for the Diamond or Kaiser? the phones may have different .dlls or D3D or Open GL registrys if its a MS7500 or even similar MS7200 chipset. If you guys havent seen this postt check it out plz

This doesnt fall into any category of phone, but I think with some tweaking, we can really utilize this deck to its full potential. The Pioneer AVIC series Navigation/DVD/Car Radios are Windows CE Based, and there has been a mod to boot it directly into windows CE. The potential is AMAZING to combine the units with our smartphones. PM me if you are interested, and or have the knowledge to take this to the next level. Go to AVIC411.com to see what has been done so far. Really, not much besides some minor mods, but I could see this unit becoming a complete smartphone interphase, etc... I currently have a touch pro, and have ordered the AV adapter. I am working on a launcher to keep it in the shell, and give it the ability to use the phone as a modem, to then have dash board internet, and outlook. the possibilities are limitless!
I have the same setup, surprised no one has really taken this any further yet. I agree with you the potential here could be pretty sweet!
Was wondering if you had anyluck with teathering your touch pro to the pioneer avic headunit?
Avic...
No, I have not, but I did get the video adapter on ebay, so I am pumping video thru the AV1 source...
I really have not had a ton of time to do alot, but there is a bunch of stuff on AVIC411.com...
Let me know if you find or are able to do anything cool. (like getting the bt to work consistantly!!!)
CHARLIE
Interested
I'm definately interested. Just got a avic-900bt and would love to code some bolt on functions & camera input mods & maybe even get some extra devices interfaces working better.
I'm guessing we'd never be so lucky as to get source for the 2.0 update. Do you know if there is an avic emulator available? Where to start?
Details on setting up AVIC emulator here: http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18137&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=8
Has anyone done research, mods or other to get internet and/or full phone screen output to show up on the AVIC's???
I have two avic900bt's & a Sprint TP2...
I'd love to have weather, current location radar and everything else to display while driving.
The ultimate "coolness" would be able to control the phone through the AVIC's display!
Off to do some more dreamin'...
Raymond
Avic
I too have a sprint tp2 and an avic f90bt with the 3.0 firmware upgrade. I do know that it is Windows CE, and there is a lot that could be done, I just dont know exactly how to do it
I have purchased a video out from ebay for the tp2, and am able to use the video 1 input on the avic, but it is not near what it could be. There are so many other things like interactive mapping, weather etc...
Can you activesync with it?
If you just want to remotely display the screen of another Windows CE device (the Pocket PC) on another one (the Avic) just use a program like NetOp (http://www.netop.com/) installed on each device. You can probably create a PAN connection between the 2 devices using bluetooth to get a network connection. And you probably won't need Activesync if you just download the cab versions and install them.
maybe have someone intresse to help me with the radar detector system modify on a pioneer AVIC-HD1bt

on this forum off-topic > [Q] radar update for Pioneer AVIC-HD1bt almost there
As far as I know, the attempts at making OpenGL ES drivers for the TyTN II have been discontinued. But why did the developers decide to abandon the project?
Did the developers of the drivers ever release the source of their work for any other developers to pick up and continue where the first developers left off?
Has it ever been confirmed that the hardware actually does/doesn't exist and is/isn't wired in such a way that a driver can be used to add OpenGL ES support? I mean, even if the chip exists and is accessible by the OS, it doesn't have to mean that the chip is connected to the display of the device in such a way that you can utilize its features.
If so, it's be pretty much like having a computer with a powerful video card, but without the monitor connected to the card.. Instead the monitor is connected to a poor performance card in the same computer, making it possible to use the powerful card to generate "screenshots" which are then simply displayed through the poor performance card, but still without achieving the same performance as you would if the monitor had been connected directly to the powerful video card.
Can someone update me a bit on the progress, or perhaps direct me to the right place to read more? I used to closely watch the htcclassaction.org website, but now that website seems to be dead, without any info about why the development just stopped.
I know that this device is getting old and pretty much belongs to the history books now, but now that android is being ported for the TyTN II, the device may have a new chance of seeing daylight again. Perhaps someone is willing to take a look at the driver issue again and make some TyTN II video driver for android? I certainly hope that the development didn't stop because it was simply impossible to make a driver. After all, you cannot write a driver for hardware that doesn't exist.
Thanks.
yeah, up for this, and is there any driver that will install on the default wm 6.1? thanks for the upcoming reply people
I don't think it's a matter of history yet. The newer devices that have physical keyboards have the same chipset and, therefore, same performance issues they TyTN II has. That extra 124mhz the Touch Pro/2 have aren't doing much to remedy the problem.
Excuse me, what's the currently true problem ?
Some OpenGL ES applications don't runs ? ( an example ? ) or they runs too slowly ? ( an example ? ).
In my "beta" configuration everything seems to work decently.

Stefano G.
I think some people were working on it most recently under the development and hacking thread...search Neos2007 open vg drivers...They managed to get some accelleration in much newer msm7201A devices with the ati d3d drivers but when I tried it on my tilt it had a device exception error when I ran some d3d samples...What worked for me for now was:
1. Disable manila/chome
then
2. intall Gfxboost 1.1 by chainfire
then
3. install neos2007 driverpack 2A
then
4. install HTC-CA drivers
By following the procedure above I was able to actually run the program GL benchmark and most of the d3d samples (except text) but somehow some d3d samples break the drivers too...
I have tried some Kaiser " SuperRam - 101/102 MB " roms,
nobody was completely compatible with HTC-CA drivers.
With my rom ( no SuperRAm ) I obtain the best result replacing
the DLL "ahi2dati.dll" with a renamed copy of "ahi2dati_dm.dll".

As stated in the (www .blogtalkradio .com/motodev) Q&A session yesterday with Motorola about the Droid X, in answer to the question asked at the 29:00 mark,
"The only time that we are enabling the HDMI driver on the device is when you are in the gallery mode. [...] The HDMI driver is not active any time outside the gallery," where the "gallery mode" is their included photo/video viewer.
I'm wondering how true that is...
(www .pcmag .com/article2/0,2817,2365630,00.asp ) PCMag's review stated that the youtube player and blockbuster player were not able to use the hdmi out at all.
As seen in (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703111 ) this thread the evo 4g, which also has hdmi out, is capable of allowing any app that uses VideoView to utilize that output, but that's supported by the phone maker.
Will that usability be true on the droid x?
Could we figure out a way to bypass any limitations Motorola includes, and maybe even send (an upscaled version of) the main screen through the hdmi (not just video but anything we could put on the phone's screen)?
I was just at a motorola event and we were able to run nfl mobile through the hdmi.
Yes the tv was in an ice sculpture and yes it was connected to a droid x via the hdmi cable

That's great news, thanks for letting us know!
The more apps with handshakes to the hdmi-out we have, the better for us to get it working completely openly
The whole media-center-and-phone-in-my-pocket is just a great idea imho...
With the hdmi out we could:
put any videos and pictures from any source up on your home tv
connect it to the projector at work and give presentations
go with a few bluetooth controllers to your friend's house and play multiplayer (even online) games on their tv with minimal cords to deal with
maybe even video-chat would be possible if you set up the phone with the camera facing out in front of the tv
... ok, that last one sounds like a pretty lame way to get video-chat, but it would save on having to have a computer/monitor/webcam when you wanted to
Of course this is all far into the future stages of development on the phone, but I'd rather create buzz and excitement to build up a developer and user base
Talked to a moto rep, said it might have been a beta device as licensing is what will prevent this thing from being turned on when it hits consumers hands. At least we know it can be done.

no fun, i'm not much of a C programmer, but if it's just enabling or disabling the driver, I guess it comes down to the security on the phone. If you go into root, I suppose we should be able to start the driver. The only thing I fear is if the driver is signed and only a signed application can access it, then I think we might be SOL
I'm not particularly worried... if we get access to enough apps that use the hdmi driver, we should be able to document enough of the method.
I believe while the hardware can reject unsigned versions of the OS (roms), most apps are self-signed (see developer. android. com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html) so that shouldn't be a problem. We just have to figure out which hoops to jump through (following the programs that use hdmi) to get it to work. They'd have to leave the hoops pretty wide open or else risk the need of updating the thing every time a new app is released that needs to get through.
This is a mixed bag here. The reason why Motorola limited the hdmi driver is likely so they didn't have to put a fps cap on the droid x like htc put on the evo.
This is pure speculation here but I would imagine the way that the evo devs are going to "truly" overcome the fps cap is to mimic the droid x behavior of toggling on and off the hdmi drivers so that the evo can access up to 60 fps.
You guys are on the other end of the boat where by default your fps won't be artificially capped, but you likely won't have full access to the hdmi drivers at first.
I think the sweet spot for both phones is finding a happy medium where we can toggle the hdmi drivers at will.
Any news on this? I would really like to get rockplayer and youtube working through hdmi. In fact, I would like to get the entire OS through HDMI and possibly a bluetooth keyboard and mouse working so I can use it as a little media center pc.
2 way control
I would lime to see this pushed to.the level of controlling the phone through an hdmi touchscreen.
I thought we would be able to see pandora and other apps through the hdmi...This sucks the way it is...also does anyone think the sound is terrible through the hdmi?
There is no point int he HDMi at all if you can only use it for your pictures and your videos from the phone's camera.
They need to make it show what you see on the phone, but on the screen
I remember there was a windows mobiel program that popped up a small window on your desktop that let you see your phone's screen and interact with it on your monitor when connected through usb
anything like this for android?

NO, the hdmi dock is a half ass design. For the $, it should do everything. MOTO/VZ dropped the ball on this. Hopefully they will open this up with a sw update.
Update: "Real HDMI" in the market
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769990&highlight=control+hdmi
Hi,
I'm pretty new to Android development. So my understanding after reading a couple threads here is that HDMI access on the stock Droid X is limited to the gallery only, is that right? And the point of the "Real HDMI" app is that it will automatically redirect all output to the phone's display through HDMI, right? So no API exists which gives programmatic control over the HDMI port? That's a shame if so.
Do any of the Android devices allow easier HDMI port control or do we need these kinds of work arounds for all of them?
Thank you very much for any information anyone can provide.
Sorry to be a pest, but can anybody answer my questions? Should I consider posting somehwere else?
Thanks again.

Maybe try posting in the Real HDMI thread over at DroidXForums.com because username GMAN (who made real hdmi) has a thread there. I'm sure his knowledge of the subject is pretty extensive.
