Launching the camcorder on my 6630 was done by starting:

'z:\\system\\apps\\camcorder\\camcorder.app'

But now I've moved to an N70 and I can't find 'camcorder.app'. Anybody here that knows how I can launch the camera on an N70?

Hello ,

I don't know how camera is named in N70 but i can help you find it !
Install free TaskSpy (very useful I'm using all the time :-)
Launch camera.
Launch TaskSpy. http://www.pushl.com/taskspy/
Switch to TaskSpy. Search for in tab Tasks the camera app.
Remind the app name.
Now go to Processes tab and search for the name and select detail soft key.
In my 6600 phone it gives Command line : Z:\system\apps\Camera\Camera.app

J hope that this can help you !

hello again ,

You can also Python on console mode with appswitch.pyd module.

>>>import appswitch
>>>appswitch.application_list(0)

And you found a tuple and something like u'Camera' and
then !\system\apps\camera\camera.app must exist !

Sorry, but both 'solutions' do not work on an N70. TaskSpy shows only one process, of itself, and the appswitch code throws an exception.

Any other way I can find out?

My N90 doesn't seem to have 'z:\\system\\apps\\camcorder\\camcorder.app' either... but it does have something at: 'z:\\system\\apps\\CamMojave\\CamMojave.app' that seems to fire up the camera.

I found it using FExplorer (www.gosymbian.com): Go to 'tasks', select 'camera', 'options/file/go to path'. The application is:

Z:\system\apps\CamMojave\CamMojave.app

There ought to be a way to retrieve the phone model (in e32?) so that these strings can be set at runtime.

You *might* be able to use sysinfo.os_version() for that, since it sounds like it's the S60 2.8 devices (N70 and N90) that are using a different path.
