Really interesting app. Good work.
It's particulary useful in situations when autofocus is not able to gain focus, although it should be possible. Happened to me few times. I try to take picture, autofocus kicks in, picture is clear for a moment, but in the end it's blurry.

@m2cm2c Would it be possible for you to show widget in status menu only when camera app is running (like Flashlight does) ?

If you try to change the focus of the camera while the shutter is closed, a jarring sound comes from the lens assembly.

could the script be updated so that the options of lfocus only shows up if the camera is active?

open up this thread from your phone and download the latest
package and remember where you saved the package to

open up your file manager and open up the package from there and you'll start the installation process.



the widget is to control the camera from the touch screen for now.
but to use the keyboard shortcuts you still need to open up the icon in the apps menu.

I might add an option to toggle the keyboard shortcuts from the widget in the future.

Am I doing some thing wrong? I have downloaded it, found it using file manager then can't open it? Please help as have followed this and think this is a great demonstration of the brilliance of the open source that is the n900 and maemo!

I'm not sure why this is happening, the installation runs fine on my phone, does this happen with all the packages or only the latest one ?

for now try to follow these steps please:

go to the folder location through xtern using 'cd'.

once you get to the containing folder type:
dpkg -i lfocus
and press tab on-screen to complete the file name. hit enter to install.

I noticed another bug today, when you enable and disable the keyboard feature often then it is possible that the keyboard layout stucks in the US one. I got a N900 with a German QWERTZ keyboard and noticed that it get set to QWERTY when I enable the plugin.

That is actually no big deal but it gets annoying when the keyboard stays as US one, disabling the app doesn't helps then. The only way to solve it is to set the keyboard to a different language and back to the original one again.


@Radiosw: So far the issues which I saw in this topic are totally normal for alpha / beta software, if you dont like it then wait a while till there will be a stable release.

hey :D
I really appreciate your input man, I'll see what I can do about your problem, also I'm working on removing the icons when the camera cover is closed, and "maybe" a way to disable auto focus :)

Seems to work well. I'll probably forget about it when I will actually have a need for it. But it's installed and staying so. Thank you.

are you going to make this as a status bar widget? im not good with this scrip and command line stuff. im all new to this. So when can we expect a status bar widget or some sort of a widget?
