Barcode Scanner in here (Like the G1) [APP]

[flyhigh]

Just to consolidate all the info for this awesome app.

The .cab file can be found here

Once the app is installed on your phone you must ensure the settings are correct for your phone. To do this, open the settings.txt file to make your changes. This can be done using your file explorer program (Resco Explorer, Total Commander) to go to where the app was installed.

*If installed to the device then go to:
My Device>Program Files>Barcorama>settings.txt

*Ensure that Barcorama is set to use your browser of choice.
Scroll down to the RUN string and change the text to your browser:
-For Pocket Internet Explorer- Leave it alone
-For Opera, Change to RUN=\windows\OperaL.exe
-For Skyfire, Change to RUN=\Program Files\Skyfire\Skyfire.exe

*Choose the website you will use to comparison price shop your barcode.
Scroll down to the RUNARGS string and change the text to your prefered site:

-Fastpricecheck.com
RUNARGS=http://www.fastpricecheck.com/GetData/HTML/!###!

-Pricegrabber.com
RUNARGS=http://www.pricegrabber.com/search.php?form_keyword=!###!

-OR-

RUNARGS=http://www.pricegrabber.com/search.php?form_keyword=!###!/set_zip=xxxxx (changing the xxxxx to your zip code for local pricing)

-Google Shopping
RUNARGS=http://www.google.com/products?q=!###!&btnG=Search+products

-OR-

RUNARGS=http://google.com/products?addr=[your_zip_code_here]&q=!###!&scoring=p (replace "your_zip_code_here" with your zip code for local pricing)


*Tips
-Do not use the camera flash (or ensure you don't have the reflection of the flash on the image)
-keep the camera 3-4 inches from the barcode
-keep the camera parallel to the barcode
-the barcode images are stored in the same folder you installed Barcorama. You may want to delete them once and a while to free up space
-The Pricegrabber site leads you to the Pricegrabber mobile site. To have your browser bring you to full websites instead of mobile sites check here. You might want to do this anyway.
-The zip code entries would be to calculate shipping costs if/where applicable
*Note
I take no credit for this information. All of this info is posted by others on this thread. The above information was scattered and I just wanted to put it all on one place.
