I've confirmed that MagiaDNI works on a Nexus S with Replicant with no propietary drivers, thanks to the folks at #replicant.

Hi Karl,

Thanks for your reply!

I've looked at http://replicant.us and found a post called "Replicant on Nexus S preview", posted on November 8, 2011, that mentions that "Camera works but in Black & White preview mode and isn’t very stable".  Shouldn't this be enough?  My application should work in B/W because it only takes the luminosity of the camera preview's pixels.

I'll will think about the other suggestion.

Regards

Hi Josep -- thanks for the submission.  sorry for the delayed reply, we've been discussing it at length.

the biggest stopper seems to be using the camera.  as far as we know, there are only proprietary drivers for the camera in android, e.g., that replicant does not support it.  do you know of a free driver for it?  otherwise, we can't accept it, as the effect would implicitly be pushing people to use the proprietary drivers.

independent of that, and in any case, rms suggests that the project "condemn the DNI as a form of tyranny".

best,
karl

Description:

MagiaDNI is an Android application that uses the device's camera to read OCR data on Spanish identity cards, then calculates its check digit and displays it.

It is mostly of interest to Spanish people; its purpose is to debunk an urban legend that says that the check digit present on the OCR data represents the number of people who are named exactly as the card's holder.




Other Software Required:

Android SDK (Apache Software License, 2.0) http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
