Thanks for this! Who'd thought one day we could get RAW from a "phone" :-) Although I can't try it right now since I'm running titans kernel.

Thanks for open-sourcing this, please (pretty pease!) make it work with titans kernel.

Cheers, Mathias

It really is "Titan" or someone elses job to compile it against that kernel...

Also, I can't believe that a load of you are so ignorant to install a custom kernel and not even know how to go back to the stock one. That just strikes me as really idiotic.

Speaking for myself, I know how to go back to the stock kernel, but that doesn't mean I want to. I would love to have FCam, but not as much as I like the possibility to overclock.

As for who 'should' do the fix, both parties are developing for free, so I would say neither. It would be very nice of course, and in that case I do not really care who would do it.

It is actually quite big news, as the ambitions of fCam go way beyond cameraphones. But it was the N900 that got it first.

It's probably worth re-stating here, though:


Additionally, maybe add the ability to do scenic modes (where you can live-apply an image into a pre-made template scene, like Camera360 also does) and maybe something Camera360 doesn't do: plugins.

If you allow plugins, it might also be a good idea to permit closed-source binary plugin modules. As much as I rail against closed-source, we DO want to promote commercial possibilities if someone wants to pay for a licensed set of very fancy plugins to process live images from fcam (ala Photoshop plugins, for example).

Many of these things will come I am sure. Remember this is not the finished article but very much work in progress. Probably very similar to what Camera360 was like in it's early stages before release. The important thing here is that this has been released in a development stage to let other developers work on it.

But why would they? I think you'd know what titans kernel stands for only:

- if you follow the forums here actively, or
- if you are especially interested in overclocking the N900

I wouldn't *expect* those from people developing for N900 (especially if they do it as a day job). Some will know, some won't.

Help me understand here. As an average user, why would this be big news?? I try out the fcam, nothing special to me?? It's all about taking pictures or making it clearer whatever i don't see much different from just taking it with the default. In fact, i find the program called "iFOCUS" more appealing because you can record a video while focus and adjust clearity.

if Fcam can let me do that, i'll be more interested.

How do you enable flash when taking photos on Fcam please?

Flash works fine with the built in camera software. Nada with Fcam.:confused:

iFocus = frame drop when you using it. Very bad freeze every time you load the app.

It's neat app but if someone could make it turn into autofocus instead would be nice for video recording. or torch!
