Anyone know why Hyperlapse is not available for the Icon (especially considering that it is available for the 930).
Just saw this posted in the Hyperlapse forums. Sort of answers the question as to why we can't get the app, but brings up a whole new series of questions.
"Hyperlapse Mobile requires Windows Phone 8.1 in order to process video in real-time. Unfortunately the phones that shipped with 8.0 were not fully updated to 8.1. Specifically the GPU is capable of doing the work, but the GPU drivers were not updated. So while most of 8.1 functionality is available on the Icon (929) and 1020, the full Windows 8.1 graphics stack is not available."
The Icon is a 929 not a 930 so there are differencesI just tried the Windows version. It imported a clip from my GoPro with no worries. Now I'm hoping the WP version be released for the Icon.
As for why the 930 and not the Icon. There are some differences between the two phones. Seemingly small and insignificant to us users, but not so insignificant to developers.
If memory serves me correctly, the Icon is a 929, not a 930. That would make them different phones all together.
I can't post links yet, but you can find some comparisons to the Icon (929) and the 930 on geekphone. There are actually many differences.
Do you mean this comparison?
Nokia Lumia 930 vs Lumia 929
Which is by the way infested with mistakes.
Or does the icon have SD support.
Or why has my 930 NFC support, a dedicated camera button and a 20MP camera sensor but and according the comparison in the link not.
And is the f really different?
And has the 929 really a microSIM

Apparently the app has been updated to support the ICON.Hyperlapse Mobile | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
However I still can't install it on my ICON.
Just an FYI, I was finally able to get Hyperlapse Mobile installed on my Icon today.
