Let me start off by saying I don't know too much about any technicalities or requirements needed by hardware for applications. This is simply an idea.
Now how possible would it be to have an app/live wallpaper that uses the camera either front, back or both and overlays the home screen entirely. In other words having a realtime camera feed as a live background.
Again its an idea but there can be a feature able to instantly screenshot an image from the actual feed and use it as a stationary wallpaper on the go or just as an easier way to take a photo.
The world is your background. Let's say I have the wallpaper applied and I see a interesting wall with graffiti. I can pull out the phone either record a short 5-10 second clip or snap a picture to use as my wallpaper with ease.
Any feedback as to the likelihood of something like this or similar being possible is welcomed.

I think I've seen this already. There was a app like this that even took screen pictures.

I'm using one, and it works, and it's free, called "camera through wallpaper" by "chikashi yajima". On the market
I'm a bit late but thanks nonetheless to you guys that gave some input. I tried them all and found my favorite "camera through wallpaper" by Chikashi Yajima

I imagine that would be a major battery hog, but very cool to show off your phone.

Battery Hog it is. I've used it to show off a couple times but to use it daily i would need a double stacked extended battery.

Anyone knows of an app like instagram for android? They have instagram in the market which is acutally named instadroid but won't let me upload photos.
They don't have anything exactly like instagram, though I've heard they are making it.
They closest I've found is Picplz
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.picplz.rangefinder&feature=search_result
instagram now available on play store
anyone knows where does it store the processed images, im trying to find one to be able to uploadit (without using instagram itself to share)
and cant find the image
Running Creamed Glacier with the camera Fix and using Pudding Camera app inside of Instagram.
I'm able to take a picture and crop, but the filter selection mode crashes and won't let me upload any picture, from the camera or from sdcard.
Advanced camera is set to off, before I was getting a blank screen.
Anyone gotten a picture uploaded successfully? I may just reboot my phone to see if that solves the issue
Are you having any problems with it? I have it downloaded but it glitches when taking a picture and FC I'm using the hybrid rom of zip and blackwing

Yeah, glitchy for me, I'm impressed with the compatibility for different cameras and galleries, but It FCs whenever I upload any photo. (The crop step is also very annoying If I don't want to crop anything) Immediately following that it bounces back to the home menu with no uploaded photo
if any of you dont like or are having problems with instagram, i can recommend PICSART , in the edition and filter section it is very complete, it lacks a little bit in the social networking, but its getting better, you can do amazing stuff with your pics (no cropping required)

its gotten to the point were i uninstalled, for first release it was quite an achievement i personally blame the rom (no offense to devs, but its true we're still working on the bugs [ this rom is stable yet and won't be until further notice. But if i was on stock rom it would be an amazing app.
I'm using the instagram camera & when I switch the FFC its like all sideways O__o

You can change the camera settings in whatever camera app you are using, Instagram only accepts larger pictures. I'm not sure of the minimum size though.
I'm still getting FC when I upload, There was an update for the app today and I thought it would fix ie. But nah. Longshot for that one. I'll check out Picstart in the meanwhile

Hahah, I dont know but yeah instagram may be a bit buggy, but it's getting there with their updates, especially with the "photo too small" problem they used to have.
Instagram is really good. The only thing annoying me about it right now is the cropping function. It doesn't let you add full pictures and you can only crop in a small part of the picture. And that it doesn't have landscape mode.
I never saw the appeal of instagram. Can someone explain to me why, everybody swears by it. To me it's just another camera/photo-editing app.
Went to Sprint and told them my pictures all had a green tint, and the screen was yellow and overall performance was laggy...all I had to show him was one green pic and he swapped the phone out. Told him battery was not that much better than the EVO and he gave me a new battery and let me keep my current battery.
Overall this phone is better. Screen is not a dull yellowish color, camera seems to be working, and the home screen lag is gone....
What HW version was your old one and what is your new one?
Most likely going to be a 0002
the green tint to the pictures is gone? mine is always doing that.
I didn't even think to look at the old HW version. This this one is 0002. The green tint is there for a second or 2 and after it auto focus, its gone. My old phone it just stayed green. And my grass looked like I was at the masters tournament and my grass don't look that damn good LOL
But the difference in scrolling through my home screens is a big difference. Even the guy there said it was pretty bad. I got the same widgets up now and its smooth

The live weather app stops after about 10 seconds. And restarts when you turn the screen back on fyi

The weather wallpaper does? That kids defeats the purpose of it being a live wallpaper doesn't it?
Also anyone have the little menu that allows you to select live,HTC,or gallery wallpaper have a distorted glitch as it pops up? Also when I click on HTC wallpaper and it brings up the previews of the wallpapers it takes a long time for them all to show up. It's almost like It's downloading them over a slow connection.
I'm just trying to figure this out before I take my phone back here in a couple hours.

Mine still does this. You would assume that a dual core with 1 gb of RAM wouldn't have these kinda delays. I.get the glitch in the menu as well. Think that's all software related. Hopefully there is a fix soon to knock out the kinks

Have you tried miui closest to rom.to looking like iphone os
lol i've actually wanted the same thing a few times.
let's see if i can explain a bit better.
you know that time when you're playing a game or watching a video or doing something full screen and you get a text? you feel the phone vibrate, but you cant read it or see who it's from or anythign. ios has a neat little toast-like notification that pops down from the top for a second before dissapearing again to tell you the info.
the easiest way to do this for android without making a whole new notification system would be to add toast notifications to messages and stuff.
yes that is exactly what I need. Can anyone find something like that?
Tasker would probably be able to do it, though it may be a bit of a pain to set up, especially if you're not familiar with how Tasker works. There may be a tutorial somewhere for doing something like that.
what is tasker?
I know one which does that, but it's wp7 style... It's called wp7 notifications.

use MIUI, it does this and I found it annoying so I turned it off.
Try here...

Guys! I have 2 apps that do this. 1 was specifically for this, the other I didn't know had it. Text notify (that's the app name) does exactly this but it's near the bottom of the screen. Maybe 1/4 from the bottom. Then I got true caller Id, which might be questionable because it prompts you saying by using this app your contact list gets added to their database... But True caller id puts the notifications at the top like you described. Both apps free.

I would like to set a wallpaper from a photo that I took on my phone but it crops the whole image off and I can't use it. Not only that, instead of being "scrollable" like it says they are, the background doesn't move when I switch desktops. Anyone have any suggestions? Even taking images in smaller resolutions, it still cuts off the image significantly enough that I can't use it.

Haha, I suppose that's the beauty of android - a tailored experience for everyone. I like how you can have events organized by location and I do enjoy the preview slide shows.
Zoes: I like the 3 second snap shots. They're annoying to share but a neat way to remember an experience.

"A tailored experience for everyone" - I like it! I'll have to remember that phrase especially when I'm talking to Apple users.
I'm also intrigued by the Zoes, but have some mixed feelings about them. I tried to use them to take little "action shots" but found the timing to be very difficult to get right (sometimes it seems like the interesting part happens just after it stops, or it takes a moment to focus and you miss the beginning). It'd be nice to be able to tweak the duration, which got me thinking why not just have it where you press and hold the camera button and it does video/stills until you let go? Then I thought wait, why am I doing this again, why don't I just record a short video in the first place?
Not sure what the answers are, but I like that we're trying new ideas.

If you're taking zones for grabbing still frames, you can press the camera button and hold to get burst shots. You can also take video and then grab frames from that.
