Camcorder Icon
 

I have seen this on a couple screenshots but cant seem to find a cab. What I am looking for is a icon that launches the camcorder instead of the camera.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Hmmm.....
Curious.
Never seen this.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

i'm using juicy's r4 rom. there is a shortcut to the camcorder in that rom. i thought it was also on the stock. you should be able to create a shortcut and point it to

"Windows\Camera.exe" /v

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Bro... I spanked your THANKS, but that exe is labled camera.exe cuz it launches the camera. The OP would like to launch the camcorder.
I know... It's easy enough to get to the camcorder once the cameral launches. But Is it possible? Would be cool.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

i believe the /v at the end of the path launches the camcorder portion of the camera. the shortcut in juicy's rom for the camcorder points to

"Windows\Camera.exe" /v

the shortcut to launch the camera points to

"Windows\Camera.exe"

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

I didn't see it with explorer...
Looking with total commander.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Nope... Don't see it. You think It might be part of Windows 6.5? or the updated version of Manila?

The camcorder icon looks cool (you can see it here)

The thing is, it doesn't really do any good. If I open the camera & then close it, the camcorder icon then opens the camera -not the camcorder (so both icons really do exactly the same thing)

Too funny.
I don't see the executable in the windows folder. I was going to create a shortcut.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

I don't have that issue. No matter how many times I use the shortcuts, camcorder opens camcorder and camera opens camera.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

for the shortcut add

/C for camera
/V for videocam

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Thanks bro...What the OP wants to do is set up shortcut for the camcorder feature of his phone. Kinda like you see in John's screenshot. However I couldn't even find the executable file in the windows directory to begin this process.
lol.
You got any ideas? I think you guys with the win 6.5 roms have that option we may not on 6.1.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Yes it is simple.

make a shortcut to the camera. edit the shortcut with total commander (or your computer) and add /V to start the videocam or /C to launch camera. If you don't add the /C to camera it will just open up whatever was used last camera or videocam.

so your shortcut for the camera would look like this on the inside

"\Windows\Camera.exe" /C

for the video cam

"\Windows\Camera.exe" /V


OR just use mine. if you look at mine ( edit them ) you'll see a little extra in there, just pointing to which icon to use. Use Hcomber to setup your own icons for the shortcuts.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

It definitely does not work for me (Juicy R3)

I just tried it again, both icons opened the camcorder..........

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

I just tried it probably 10 times in a row, in my system BOTH icons are opening the camcorder.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Dude read my post above yours.

Edit the CAMERA shortcut add /C then it will open the camera.
Edit the Camcorder icon ( which is really another camera shortcut ) add /V and it will open the videocam

Add that stuff and it will open whatever one you want properly.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

LOL, I guess I should pay more attention before I post.

Thanks for the info....

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

This is great but the camcorder has the same icon as the camera, anyway to change that?

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

wow... read my post you quoted.


rinse... repeat.

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Here is another amazingly simple program to use

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Sarcastically or seriously?

Do you need a hand with hcomber?

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Great page here :

I'd suggest reading the whole thing but this is the meaty stuff for this thread ... assuming they all work, I havn't tested yet. :

"\windows\camera.exe" -i =photo mode
"\windows\camera.exe" -v =video mode
"\windows\camera.exe" -p =contact photo mode
"\windows\camera.exe" -m =mms video mode
"\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe" -mode:camera -type:image
"\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe" -mode:camera -type:video

Re: Camcorder Icon

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

I Thank your thread kabuk1! You help me when no one else did. Again Thank you.http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Camcorder Icon
 

Wish there was a cab for the camcorder shortcut and icon because I am not quite there yet.

Update: Got it to work but guess the hcomber is only for 6.5? How do I change the icon on the stock 6.1?
