You can change it on the settings screen (drag the viewfinder down to get to it)

So what made you think you were a power user?

Power users should read the Wiki, which has instructions on how to reflash. Others could benefit from looking at the Wiki also.

FCamera is nice, Good work guys..
Please make sure you improve it and make a real good final app.

See some samples here. http://www.nokiatimes.com/2010/07/hd...-settings.html

I noticed that every time you use the built in Camera app I had to restart the phone to use FCamera.

Got them working. But i couldn't install the drivers nor the fcamera app until I uninstalled Blessn900 photo app.

can be a bit tricky but just follow instructions here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher

you can re-download PR 1.2 from :
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php

do you know what firmware you using?
in my example my phone original came with UK firmware, but i changed mine to the worldwide firmware version instead as its updated more often then uk, i did not find any limitations by changing this but might brake the warranty, is up to you...

how to flash?
you need the cable that allows to plug into your computer.
follow the instructions in the link above to connect the phone and then from the CMD prompt just flash it with PR 1.2
fyi, i left out the vanilla part, and just had to re-install my apps, data was still there.

Not sure if I need to uninstall the Enhanced Power Kernal to install Fcamera and fcam-drivers. Everytime i try to install either one of them, i get a conflicting package message, saying that the power kernal is the problem. what am i doing wrong?

Is this the Kerkel-Power available from App Manager? If so then read on;

Remove BlessN900
Close App Manager
Open Xterminal and type the following;

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel kernel-flasher

This should return SIGTERM received and Image flashed successfully messages. If this is the case continue with

Code:

apt-get remove -y kernel-power kernel-power-modules

This reverts you back to the stock kernel.

Reboot the phone and then again open terminal. Type the following;

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install fcamera

That will then install fCamera (funnily enough). Now you can redownload and install te Power Kernel but bear in mind that you will have to also download titans fcam drivers to your device. If you download it to MyDocs then you should run the following;

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i fcam-drivers_1.0.5-1_armel.deb

This is your kernel reverted to stock, fcam installed, power kernel re-installed and fcam drivers modified by titan also installed. Had to do myself earlier. Fun and games.
