I'm currentley making an app that wil serve as a magnifyer for people who don't have verry good eysight.

The main usage idea would be that it will be used to read small print (item in a store) Or for people who have bad eyesight even newspapers.

The app is for use on froyo 2.2 and above.

The image above shows the layout. (the logo in the center is just a watermark).
in the red circle you see the FPS (frames per second).

For people who try this beta i would appreciate your feedback.

1. Phone (brand/model)
2. Android version
3. Avrege FPS




SHORT MANUAL

The three main controls are preformed on the screen by touch.

Switch contrast style
To switch a contrast style just slide to the left or right horizontaly.

Set magrin for color

I have re installed and now all i get is the Princen group logo in the centre of the screen, a focus button top right and FPS top left screen. no control at all.

In the above manual is sais how to control.
It uses touch screen for the main controls,
Slide horizontal to switch contrast styles
slide vertical for the cutoff point for the contrast.
Slide 2 fingers apart (pinch zoom) to zoom

no touch control at all. just logo on black screen. sometimes screen corrupts.

I'll have to borrow an desire-HD from a friend to debug using it because i dont know what the problem could be, i think it's in he preview size's because that's the only diffrence with galaxy S witch works fine and the htc

But thanks for your feedback
