Here is v0.1 of MotiNoti, a little midlet I'm developing mainly for myself. It turns my old K800 into a little surveillance unit that tries to detect motion in a room, and sends me an MMS with the picture when it detects something.

Requirements:
1) A PATCHED DEVICE TO AVOID JAVA-POPUPS
2) Working simcard in the device, and a working MMS configuration
How it works:
1) First the app waits 2 minutes before starting, so you have time to place the phone and leave the room.
2) Then it starts calibrating, by taking 50 pictures and measuring the difference in byte-values between them. This tells the phone how a room without motion "looks" like. It then assumes that a room with motion must result in a difference of 9*average.
3) Now MotiNoti starts detecting for motion.
4) If/when motion is detected, MMS is sent, and the app stops. It only sends 1 MMS.
A few pointers:
1) This is the very first dirty version of the app. Don't expect miracles.
2) Remember that "movement" is any bigger change in the picture. If you point the camera at a wall, and a strong sunlight suddenly hits the wall, then it qualifies as "movement". Therefor try to point the camera at something with a little change as possible.
3) It uses a lot of battery, so always have your charger connected, especially if you're going out of town for a few days.
4) I have been using a SE K800 for testing. Although the app should work on other devices, it might react differently. (The calibration part should adapt to different devices, but it might not).
Let me know what you think.

Version 0.2 is ready.

MotiNoti now automatically starts after a phone reboot. So if the phone crashes while you're out, don't worry. It'll just startup again and continue surveillance.

I should probably mention, that version 0.2 requires a JP7 phone (or later). The autostart feature doesn't work on earlier models.
And make sure you have the latest firmware on your JP7 phone too. The first firmwares on K800 and K610 didn't support autostart either.
