I have reflashed the firmware of my N900. After that and reinstalling everything, I probably did something particular because when using the deb file of the 0.49 version, I see:
Code:
dpkg -i abettercamera_0.49.deb
(Reading database ... 53324 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace abettercamera 0.49-1 (using abettercamera_0.49.deb) ...

Checking for fcam drivers
No fcam drivers found
Installing bundled version of fcam drivers
Please read and acknowledge the important notice displayed on the N900's screen
I fear that I am not getting hw acceleration? But otherwise, the software seems to work which is good!
I can see someone else had posted the same issue here (@9000) but not sure that the solution has been posted or exists?
I did try with and without fcam-drivers installed. I did reboot several times. But I have no clue how to deal with that

Another problem is that I cannot reinstall from ovi because asking to pay again and not only ABC but also a whole list of software I paid (I could download only one).
But this is another problem and I contacted nokia support about that... hoping that a solution exists!

EDIT: I forgot to add that I cannot remove the application anymore. Because obviously that could have been a good idea to remove and then reinstall but nothing works : apt-get remove or apt-get purge.

Have you found a solution? I can't remove it either, or boot the app. Whenever I start it asks me that the app needs a reboot

I'm also getting the error that the kernel module is invalid. Might it have something to do something with kernel-power?

Has anyone gotten the HW acceleration working with kernel-power?

@Eugene Panich:
I have read an interesting article on the use of golden ratio in the composition of photographic images. The article is in http://www.digital-photography-schoo...ds-on-steroids

Could it be possible to overlay the golden-ratio-based grids or spirals on the ABC or blessn900 viewfinder, as an aid to image composition? Thanks

Here are the examples:

There must be a "rmmod bc_cat" line in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/abettercamera.prerm script. Either edit the script to remove that line or modprobe the bc_cat module so rmmod has something to remove when asked.

Thank you very much, this helped!
I deleted it because I have a problem when saving photos. Constantly "IMAGE IN PROGRESS".
Just tried to take pictures through the BlessN900 - all good! And after "abattercamera" constantly trying to save. I waited 20 minutes, nothing has happened...
Only I have this problem?

Are you using a version of Power Kernel and if so, which?
