Re: N900 Video Recording with LEDs
 

I downloaded the file to the mass storage folder. Not to any subfolders. When I opened the file manager and found the file, I tried to install it by opening the file, but the device wants to know what program to associate it with.

Any ''step-by-step'' tricks I can do to get it to install?

Completely ignorant of maemo language here...

Thanks for all the help. I installed ver 3 and it had conflicts.
Uninstalled ver 3 and installed ver 2 and still doesn't work with camera. :(

First you have to be Root!

Sudo gainroot

If you put the file into the memory card then type this:

Terminal: ~$: dpkg -i /media/mmc1/flashlight....deb

if you put in the phone HDD then: put it in Temp folder

$: dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Temp/flashlight.deb

check out my python scrip that I've put together to let you focus and toggle the led while filming, and tell me what you think :D

@cb22
Where did you find this binary? Is there source for it somewhere?

Sweet ! Works like a charm.

Would it be possible to get on recording autofocus by half-pressing the camera button !? That would make it perfect !

Ah, just noticed a little annoyance : when setting on-screen focus control, the screen gets dimmed. making it harder to verify,

Other than that. very good work, thanks !
