LG has integrated 3D Youtube in the first smartphone with 3D camera. But what about the photos, unless you, your friends and family have a way to see these pictures in 3D, they are pointless in the computer or the Internet.
The Picasaweb, Flickr and Facebook has no role in 3D in your albums.
The only Android app site and I found this function is unknown Phereo :

In the "wiggle" it shows an animated GIF by changing the view from the right eye and left eye, so of course it automatically is not always good.
Working in Photoshop it is possible to make this transition more harmonica. But from what I have to be tested in the Gimp and not Photoshop, although I love the Gimp.
For the GIF format only supports 256 colors, and the Gimp was very bad with the colors, the better able to optimize Photoshop.

Convert JPG to JPS

When you copy the pictures 3D LG P920 (Optimus 3D) to the computer they come in JPS format. The problem is that the viewer of Windows shows up one of these images, but when you click to see the next it goes to the pictures in JPG ignoring JPS.
The viewer Picasa as well as the latest Photoshop Disem also do not know the format, even though he is a simple JPG with a photo next to each other.
The Gimp opens correctly, but before I edit the photos to see them and sort them, either directly in Windows or Lightroom.
My solution was to make a copy of the JPS files to a new folder, enter via MS-DOS, but the old command window and then find the folder you want to just give the command:
ren *.jps *.jpg
That is to rename all jps to jpg. Of course it is possible to do this manually one by one directly on windows.
Ready now the programs and Windows itself already understand what it is these files.

Convert to animated GIF with Photoshop

So I set to begin an action in Photoshop to crop the jpg now in the middle and put each half in a layer. This action can be downloaded here:
www.riesel.com.br / JPS to GIF.atn
Not always the most important point of the photo is overlapping with the right to check on and off the top layer.
If you want to improve the overlay change the opacity of the top layer to 30% and try to position album object that is standing out in the center of the picture in the same position that this is in the lower layer.
Now to save it from an animated GIF in "File> Save for Web & Devices" (Schift + Alt + Ctrl + S)
Change the output resolution to a width of 800px if you send to Picasaweb 500px or if you want to post on Facebook.
And since this file is a copy of the original JPS take this opportunity to actually save it as JPG. Check which of the layers is better and save it with only a JPG image to have the 2D normal.

Finally publish on the Web

For Picasaweb is not possible to send these GIF files for the program Picasa, you have to assemble an album and add pictures directly from the website.
Apparently the animation is not seen in all browsers.
Facebook tried to send in all forms, aa one who has worked with the application http://apps.facebook.com/animated-picture and yet often fails. This application will only publish the photo on the Wall, the images that are in your albums are all converted by Facebook thereby losing the animation.

The Google Navigation is a free browser that can do something that neither Tomtom or Garmin managed to do so soon, to show the path using the photos of the path itself. This has a browser that uses Street View, the idea is so good that a few hours after the announcement, shares of both have had absurd drops of 16% (Garmin) and 21% (TomTom).

But Google has locked using the Navigation function in Google Maps on Android for anyone outside the U.S., nothing that the people at XDA can not solve. They put two versions available for those who want to try this super system, someone who has access to a root and another for those without such access.

maps3.3.1-directions-by-the-root-2.apk (2.27 MB) or maps3.3.1-by-directions-root-2.apk (2.27 MB) ( Tip of the android-hilfe.de )

To install the root is more complicated because you must uninstall and then install Maps that changed with the commands:

adb remount

adb shell find / system / data-name \ * google \ * maps.apk \ *-o-name-delete Maps.apk

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

adb install-r-directions maps3.3.1-by-root-2.apk

adb reboot

The version-root installs in one second but the Maps folder (com.google.android.apps.m4ps) or they changed the maps by m4ps. I installed this way as well as continuous updating normally Maps and the first time I called the Navigation function he asked me to decide what I would use, then scored to remember and always use the m4ps.

Nav Launcher

Ready after we have released Navigation Nav Launcher install which is available in Market, is a simple screen with options to find a destination. Contacts appear only in your Google contacts that have registered address.

Another way to use it directly within the Navigation Maps, where it was possible to assemble a route now also can ask to use the Navigation Route.

But not all flowers, in my tests it did not work in Portuguese, but it worked in English and German. Another problem is that Street View is not yet available either here or in Germany and in Brazil, so you can use it only on the map with satellite photos.

I still want to test it some more because without Street View he seems weaker than CoPilot Live, that despite being expensive has the maps offline.

PS

Personal! get the latest version 4.0 of the navigation maps for Brazil. Just install:

For those who have root, http://ul.to/cle2zs/maps4.0.0-1.6-brut3.apk

For those who do not have root access, http://ul.to/al55qq/maps4.0.0-1.6-brut3-nonroot.apk (4.0.0)

It's better than the previously available version 3.3.0.1 .... Now you can do the "pinch and zoom" (zoom with multi touch) and also save as a favorite!

As I had commented in the post "How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more." the only social network that was really hard to integrate was Orkut.

Still a bit difficult and I could not join her in the same way you can do with Facebook for example, but I got some progress.

The first find was an Orkut application that really matters to your Twitter messages and no use going to + Applications and Twitter searches for the word because the applications that appear are all useless, the only one able to download the message and put it as if I had typed it again in the "Tell your friends something to" the new Orkut was Twitkut (Link).

Just one drawback of Twitkut unlike the Twitter Facebook application that is not running if it is not activated, ie messages will be imported from Twitter if you open the application. One solution to this would put the link to that application in your favorites and go from time to time, eg after having "tweeted".

Now Orkut to integrate with WordPress, Blogger, Blogspot or any other system of Blogs you can follow the method that I spent to integrate with Facebook through Twitter ( "How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more. ") and use the Twitkut to tell your friends Orkut that has news on your Blog. After the blog is integrated with Twitter just access the link Twitkut posted after that will launch the message with the title of the post and link Twitter to Orkut.

Now the method I chose to integrate my blog with Orkut and Facebook was also using the Sociable WordPress Plugin where I added yet Orkut as you can see below. So when I finish post something here I use the buttons below to send a message with the title, image and link to my friends and still leave the option open for all visitors to the blog.

If you have any other blog system just copy the code in Javascript that Orkut icon bar down there, if you are using WordPress with the Sociable plugin and you want the file "sociable.php" changed to leave a message below I send email with a brief explanation of how to make it work. (Explanation and file below)

Other sites in Portuguese as Ueba, DoMelhor, Rec6, digacultura, digg, and I added the Sociable diHITT through manual http://www.academiadodinheiro.com site , thank you Sam.

PS. The aquivo sociable.php and images nescessárias are in www.riesel.com.br / sociable.rar

Note that I put the code in the file to add sociable.php Orkut:

$ Html. = "</ Ul> \ n </ div> \ n";

return $ html;

It was very easy to get an invitation to the new Orkut, only had to look up the word orkut on Twitter that is popping up all the time the same phrase "Who wants to call ..."

I liked the look and especially the interactivity of the messages. Too bad that only someone with the new Orkut can interact. Basically it is a copy of Facebook, with the message "something to tell your friends" up there and then people can comment.

Apparently with the new API will now be possible to integrate with Orkut or Twitter feeds and still want to give a studied these new codes. It will be great to send messages directly on Orkut Twitter or Blog in the same way as today on Facebook. In Orkut there is even a Twitter app, but it serves no purpose, is not the same as the application for Facebook.

Hope Orkut will soon put on the list of integrated services as I put it in post " How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more.

After activating the new system takes about two days to be able to invite someone, I received five calls in case anyone wants to just leave a message below that I still have I send. How to put in the previous post " Who will help me understand the Wave? calls the Wave I still have to test if someone wants just let me know, I send an invitation.

Tested in recent days the Wave and seems promising, is very interesting to see each key that the other is typing, including typos. But the conversation ends up getting quite confused with this option of responding in the middle of the conversation, the idea is to respond to a question that has been done above, but often the conversation is still there in the middle.

I need to reinstall a good part of the programs I have on my phone, and so I had to assemble a list of installed applications. I'll take to go to the blog, commenting on the best application. To do so must first be able to capture the screen of the mobile.

I found some ways to do this:

1. Via SDK following the tip of the site esferaandroid.com or www.simplehelp.net
2. With the application screenshot-application as found on the site koushikdutta.com
3. Or the application ShootMe certainly the most practical way.

With the screenshot application set-up a time and then the unit is making images during this period. But the images do ShootMe if the device is shaken for about 5 seconds. Just activate the program and then when you want an image shake the device accelerometer that enables the program, it is possible to listen to when the image is made. The images are saved on the SD card in the "ShootMe." An example are the pictures from this post, click to enlarge.

After applying the Android 1.6 Flash & CyanogenMod as the previous post we can update the system and also change the theme in a very facile CyanogenMod Updater just install the Android Market or you can download the application site.

The application is very easy to use and very efficient, by downloading and installing updates and issues. But before it work properly you must set it right.

Settings

Notifications

In Notifications is possible to define the frequency at which it will automatically check for updates and how it will warn you (ring or vibrate)

Rom Update Settings

Here it is possible to see the mark of Cyanogen verções esperimentais if you want to risk testing them. The server may be pre-configured otherwise enter the address:

http://cyanogen-updater.googlecode.com/files/update_file.json

Theme Update Setting

The server issues have to be configured, at least for me it did not work automatically. Then go to "Manage Theme Servers" then click on Menu and choose "Update Servers Featured Theme" ready now it will pull all available themes.

Advanced Settings

Here we have the option to change the folder where the files are saved in the SD (cm-updates is the default), it is also possible to clear this folder.

2 Program

The program is divided into three tabs with the first update of ROMS, with the second and third themes with the file that are saved in the cm-card updates. You can also download the files from your computer to that folder and apply to the program.

At the moment I'm testing the theme MarksTheme 4.2.3.1.e which is very interesting but I had to increase the number of screens 3 (default) to 5, you can increase up to 10 pages but do not want to have both programs, or widgets.

After making the procedure of the previous post:
http://www.riesel.com.br/tecnologia/android-tecnologia/manual-root-celular-g1-android/

We can put an alternative ROM for example I chose the latest version of CyanogenMod, version 4.2.3.
The procedure is quick and easy, we need the files:

1. 1.6 Recovery Image:
   • http://developer.htc.com/adp.html # s3
   • Dream (G1): http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip
2. Put the files in the root of SD
3. Unplug the appliance
4. Turn on the machine holding the Home key to enter the Recovery.
5. If you want the option to return to the current version, select nandroid backup now. Otherwise, continue.
6. Press Alt-W (or select "wipe data / factory reset") Press home to confirm
7. Press Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")
   • * Dream (G1): signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
   • * Magic32A / Magic32B (MyTouch): Check out this site
8. Press home to confirm and continue the installation
9. WAIT - DO NOT RESTART YOUR DEVICE NOW, have patience.
10. When you are done press again Alt-A (or select "apply any zip from sd")
    • * Dream (G1): update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip
    • * Magic32A / Magic32B (MyTouch): Check out this site
11. Press home to confirm and continue the installation
12. When complete, please reboot the system by pressing Home & Back (Back).
13. Wait. The unit will install the radio and goes to reboot. This may take a few minutes please be patient.

From version 1.6 1click root system does not work if your Smartphone is in any previous version skip to item 3.2 below.

I updated my phone to version 1.6 to decide where I wanted it a little more, and from this version is a little more complicated to obtain root privileges and can install modified versions of Android such as CyanogenMod .

To follow this manual recommend at least a basic knowledge of Linux alias without it I would not advise putting the phone in Root because it will be much easier to damage the unit. I am not responsible for the procedures below, I followed the manuals that will indicate and worked for me but I could have lost the device if anything went wrong.

But what are the advantages of this process:

1. the limitation of the official version of only allowing the installation of programs on the internal memory in my case was 60MB, with the latest versions of CyanogenMod programs go directly to the SD since this has an ext2 or ext3.
2. The possibility of a partition using a Linux-SWAP
3. Able to provide internet device (tethering) to your computer or laptop via USB Wifi
4. And much more see list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610

Of course there are disadvantages such automatic updating is turned off but for that we have an application Cyanogen itself that makes the upgrade from them.

1-DOWNGRADE

So let's start first of all you must do a downgrade to version 1.0, ie we will return the phone to original shape before the updates, this procedure will also be necessary if we are to withdraw privileges Root and again have access to automatic updates direct from Google.

Here I had two paths or two books a lot like a easiest and the one that worked . The easiest basically do not need the GoldCard. I advise you to first try to make this straightforward procedure if the author was able to work with you and maybe save a few steps, the Cyanogem own manual says nothing of GoldCard.

In both cases we must first file DREAIMG.nbg RC29 (U.S.) [Link1] [Link2] if you have an appliance or American RC7 (UK) [Link1] [Link2] if you have a European machine, unzip the file and place DREAIMG.nbh the file on your MicroSD card from your G1. Do not rename the file, the file name has to be DREAIMG.nbh

The procedure without GoldCard just turn off your phone, press and hold the button to take pictures and power button.

It will connect in recovery mode, in my case I received the error message 00028002 (not allow) and returned to the screen of the rainbow. I have checked this message and found that it meant that my CID was wrong, this error also happened to me once with GoldCard but I think I must have made a mistake when copying the number of CID, for the second time it worked. In the comments of the manual also has a user who received an error message but simply formatting the SD and putting the file DREAIMG.nbh worked, is one possibility.

To exit this screen you can dial by pressing the + Menu + End, in my case I was obliged to take out the battery and USB cable as this combination was not working.

If work will appear alongside those two screens, the first asking to push the power button to start the process. Care for your cell phone battery does not run out in this procedure because it can be to discard the appliance. If managed istalar will not be necessary to mount the GoldCard, and the unit will be in version 1.0.

(More ...)

A month ago I noticed that every time I enter the Google homepage (iGoogle) in German it appears the new look, in the English version also works and it can be accessed at:
http://www.google.com.br/ig?hl=en

I use iGoogle since it was released, and find it very practical to have more information on the same screen. Among my application to this:

• TwitterGadget my main Twitter app for the desktop.
• Facebook also check almost exclusively by iGoogle
• Google Talk replace almost the software
• Google Calendar is well summarized
• Gmail in the Portuguese version only shows the inbox
• Google Notebook also replaces almost the entire front page with this tool
• the list of documents in GoogleDocs also saves me from having to go through some pages.

But still iGoogle helps a lot with the window of the translator Babylon, with currency converter, player from Last.fm and more.
This new version is a subdivision of the tabs, ie tabs moved to the left side in the form of a sidebar and now you can see all the widgets of the tab as well as each of them expanded. Pictured above are all of my applications tab and the initial image on the side for example the extended application of meteorology, including the marking on the Maps of the location of weather stations. Not all applications are working in expanded form, for example Google Calendar. Gmail already works pretty much in full within this version of iGoogle, but the Gmail keyboard shortcuts are disabled.
IGoogle is great is improving but still can not integrate all the services Google Analytics for example no longer works and the widgets (or Gadget) Google Reader and Google News can not be as efficient as the pages of these services.

First how to integrate Twitter with Facebook, for it has two Facebook applications, simply register on both what you write on Twitter will show up on Facebook and vice versa. First own tool "Twitter" Facebook, which imports the twitters to Facebook.Depois tool "Twitter Updater" Facebook, which exports to Twitter messages that you publish in Facebook.Ou is now all goes to Twitter will appear in Facebook, then just what you want to integrate with Twitter. In my case my blog is a WordPress installation on the server itself, then installed the plugin "WP to Twitter" to send the title of the posts with a link to Twitter and it also automatically goes to Facebook.

For those who do not use WordPress, but Blogspot or any other blog tool is another option which is what I use Twitter to send the best news I read in Google Reader , this solution is based on the Feed (RSS) blogs. Just register on http://twitterfeed.com/ and there add the feeds you will want to be published on Twitter. Just beware of the "Shorten link through" is the shortened link to Twitter, the first option I tried (I do not remember which) was blocked on Facebook, so the message was published on Twitter but did not go to Facebook I moved to the shortening "bit.ly" and I had no problems.

Another advantage of http://twitterfeed.com/ is that once you can check how many times this post has been accessed via Twitter or Facebook.

Another interest is the integration of the plugin http://www.buddyfuse.com/ for MSN with this plugin contacts from Google Talk (Gmail) are also available to speak directly to MSN, and when you change your phrase Status this sentence is sent directly to Twitter and the above that also goes to Facebook.

Now if you are finding hard to keep following email, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk, Weather, Exchange, Bovespa, ... in a thousand pages on the Internet tell you're wasting time, nothing like putting it all in Google Home Page with Widgets and ready to accompany some of everything on a single page in the coming days publish the best applications iGoogle .

I think that's any questions just post in the comments, just do not ask me how to integrate Orkut, for that canceled the option to add feeds and if it does not change soon I predict he will end up dying.

PS RT Twitter also go to Facebook, but not direct messages.
