I have installed the Dutty ButtonFLO ROM on my JASJAM. The camera app though isn't that latest with the Kaiser look. Has anyone got the cab for the latest HTC Camera app somewhere.
Thanks

It's not free to use.
camera
correct it is not free, the beta, if you can find it will work for a while.
The big change I would like to see is a better night shot feature, I had a wizard and with Cool Camera, you could select night and it acted like a night vision camera, it worked real well in low light.
I know the camera is able to do the function, it's just the programming that needs to be reworked.
yeah the camera can definatly be able to do that, but it just needs a program that will be able to do the cropping and expanding without killing the processor when taking a video and zooming.
thats why i liked nokias so much.. u could pritty much make an entire home movie on a nokia, and it will look professional.
the graduated zoom on them is amazing,...
I just tried the Xperia Camera on the Touch HD.
The speed of the screen is amazing. Too bad I cannot make a picture (no hardware button)
But if someone knows how to programm and can make the Xperia Cammera app to run on Touch HD, plz holla!
Cab!

Could you map a volume key in ae button plus to simulate the hw key?
holy! really ? i'd like to see it demo video lol. thanks

Hi Xmoo
I don't understand, what do u mean by using the Xperia Camera on the Touch HD , does this mean that there is a replacement software for the HD camera, cos the current camera software on HD is not up to my expectation most comes out blurry despite the settings found here in this great forum pages... I'm sure the camera on the HD is capable of much more given the 5 MP it uses.
Cheers
You state its faster. in what way??? focus?
is there a way of using a soft map to fake the button assignment? surely its looking for ButtonX
Hi all,
I'm @ belgium now.
When I go home I will make a demo video and also share the files here.
I just copied the Camera software from the Xperia and pasted it on the root of my SD card on the Touch HD.
Opend it and it worked (kinda)
can you share that app with us?
i'm getting crazy with the hd camera. it's working outdoor at perfect light conditions, but as soon as you don't have ideal conditions, it's unusable...
It's very interesting... could you share this with us?
thanks!
I've added the cab in post #1.
Just extract it on ur phone, and start the .exe
The screen is very dark. To try and see how fast the cam works.
Point ur phone to laptop/pc monitor or television.
Don't know why it's so dark. Think it's a driver issue or somethin.

Thanks for posting. Re darkness it seems like it is not programmed for the lens position on the HD. When I go close to a screen can see a pinhole lens effect. Could be probably wrong ;-)

It is indeed much faster and more responsive. I wonder if a port is possible?

No didn't see much difference but it's difficult without having any buttons available and just looking at a darkened screen. Hope we will see something come of it. I don't have such expertise or time unfortunately.
Press the volume button.
You will se a menu. But no options

Yes I did see that a grey square. Very frustrating. Do you think it is worth posting in Development and Hacking to find someone more clever than us?
Always worth trying. After all, this may benefit not only to Blackstone.
I renamed the CameraRunner.exe to Camera.exe and copied all files uploaded by xmoo to the Windows folder. When I did that it becomes the main camera for the device and by pressing around on the screen new options appear but still with no text. I somehow did manage to change the camera to video while pressing around on the screen and also managed to make the screen go white for some reason and could see the lens working faintly like when it is black.
Took some poor quality shots of what I got. Can you confirm where the Xperia camera files are located on the Xperia device?
Managed to get the original HTC camera back after overwriting the Xperia one I renamed.
Hi,
I have used different roms, including the orignal one, i always face the problelm with the camera, when i press the camrea button to take the snap, it capture the photo after 2,3 seconds, and in that time, (pplz have moved, and its always blurr), how i can remove this Lag time for the camera, so it take the photo shot, as soon i press the camera button.
this is really irritating and annoying, Hope to get some true solution to it.
Regards
Jade
There is a quick fix to the lag. Go to focus options and choose the infinite one!
I tried via this way many time, but still facing lag problem while taking the pictures, the snap shot is taken after 1-2 seconds of pressing the camera key.
Is there any repair, or fix CAB for it , or some other solution.
Regards
Jade
General Tip
the easy way is to use sport mode (i made it the default scene mode). however you will always not like the color it get, but acceptable in bright light condition. Next, i set the focus to infinite, manual white balance. The rest will depend on your phone software/system configuration.
if you are willing/knowlege enough, i suggest to change the system cache (cache,repl,gdi,fat entry cache,block transfer) just big/small enough for your need. Too small = sluggish respond, too large = may unstable the phone, data lost/corrupt, random lockups.
Oh, do try the xperia x2 vga driver and sdcard tuneup if you haven't already.
Try HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam and set CapKeyDelayTime to 0.

That's the one! Or use Xperia Tweak, and look for shutter delay in the camera section, if you don't want to edit the registry directly yourself.
does anybody have this problems with x1 camera..... the result of the picture is darker when you transfer it to a pc or upload it.... its only show the true color on the xperia image preview, when actually its too dark... any one ???

Hi Paul,
Xperia Tweak 2.0 doesn't have the said camera section. May be a new version available, where can I get it? Thanks in advance for your advice.
oops, sorry... the option is in Advanced Config (I confuse the two applications, Advanced Config is much more comprehensive)
htc camera
sorry mate. that parameter does not exist on stock rom. unless it's already cooked or you install it yourself. and it's for htc cam app(which i think the iso speed option did not work. like i want 400, it capture in 201), not experia default one.
to uhuy*
you got it all wrong. your handheld/camera/phone lcd display will never show the true color/contrast/etc output of the recorded image. they are very limited in everything and tend to trick your (inexperience) mind about how good/bad things are. think, winmo only output 65k(16bit) color. doesn't matter if your screen got 200 thousand+ or 16m color display screen. it's capped that way. what you're seeing have been through interpolation, resampling, device enhancement, bla..bla..bla. the real thing is on your desktop monitor(assuming it's decent and you didn't mess it up). gamma too low perhaps?

is your monitor calibrated?
Expert Opinion?
I'm facing the same problem with Xperia X1 camera lagging, and blurry...
I'm using the default Xperia cam software.
Any expert care to provide a comprehensive solution to this problem?
Only fix : Sports mode + Infinite focus.

Hello Everybody,
I'm developing an android application which uses the front camera.
As the Android SDK doesn't supoprt it natively, I need to fint the register name which tells the system to use the front camera. Unfortunately, I do not know how this parameter is called. Does anyone can help me?
btw, As I do not have an HTC Evo If anybody can help me by testing my app on its HTC evo, it will helps me a lot.
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards.
ill test if you tell me what the app does/is for

All I could think of was some of the CraigsList replies I get that want my item shipped to Africa.
GL with your app, hope it's a fun one, not enough stuff uses the front camera yet.
Hi,
many thanks for your answer and your help.
My app is quite simple, it acts as a mirror by displaying the front camera in full screen (it crops left and right parts of the picture in order to maximise the picture surface.
My app is avaiblable in the android market under the name : MagicMirror-Lite
I get some feedbacks that my app does work on Evo devices.
Before adding other features (such as zoom and so on), I would like to get first quite a reliable app which works on most of terminals (which have a front camera of course).

I think the same, but as there is no explicit command in the android SDK which allows to use the front camera, I first need to get a reliable way to use front cams.

The Cyanogen team has the front facing commands figured out.
Also, these guys do too http://www.popcrowd.com/
Maybe one would be willing to share or you could take a peak at their code.
Hi everybody,
Many thanks for your inputs.
If I made everything right, my application should now work on Sprint devices.
I uploaded a new version of the application. So, if you can test it on yours, it will be very helpful for me.
Cheers!
It uses the main camera on the EVO not the front one like you want.
Sorry.
Image is also turned 90 degrees...
For the rotation this is normal as the rear camera is rotated to 90° compared to the front camera (in order to use the rear camera in landscape mode and the front camera in portrait mode).
Ok well it still uses the wrong camera.
Looks promsing though.
Many thanks,
and before adding more sexy-features (like pinch zoom, or picture grabbing...) I want first to make sure my app is compatible with most mobile devices.
(If you have features ideas, do not hesitate )
Cool.
I'll test it again once you see about using the front camera.
I think I found what was wrong,
in the manifest file, I added:
<uses-library android:name="com.sprint.hardware.twinCamDevice" android:required="false"/>
I hope that this will make the things goes right for Sprint users without generating bugs for non-Sprint users.
how about make a video chat app that works all the time

It works with the front camera now but you still need to rotate the image 90degress. I don't see why anyone would want a mirror that the reflection is sideways!
You're completely right, if picture is rotated, it is completely useless. ^^
What is that for the samsung Epic, picture owns the right orientation.
Futhermore, picture should be distorded on your Evo device?
Last question, I must rotate picture in clockwise or in counter-clockwise?
It works on my evo
You need to rotate image 90 degrees clockwise...no matter how I turned the phone the imageit displayed was turned facing 9 o'clock...
Keep working at it!
Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...
Yep, me too. The top of my head points to the left no matter how I hold the camera. It 'IS' working with the front camera though.
I'm just beginning to test the front facing camera on my Evo too with some code. I 'think' I read that the Sprint library has to be included in the manifest (to enable the front camera); however, they say the app will not load on phones that don't have this library. that seems pretty severe. Anyone tested that out ?
It would be nice to make apps that use the front camera if possible but still use the regular cam if the front one's not available.
Hi rufus,
Yes the library must be loaded, but, as I mentioned above, you must add the :"android:required="false". So if the library exists, it will be loaded and if not, it doesn't mattre. But you need to add in your source a test to check if the library exists or not. It is explained in the sprint sdk.
Ok I'll add a test on my program add add a rotation if detected phoe is an HTC evo.
Is the ratio of the picture ok or not?
The ratio of the picture is good, but I assume once it's rotated 90 degrees, it wont' be. It's still rotated 90 counterclockwise...the top of my head is at the left.
Is it possible to build HDR functionality into the camera settings of either sense or AOSP ROMS? I was thinking of something similar to or better than the iOS 4.1 update for the iphone 4.
HDR--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging[/URL]
HDR FTW
I would also be very interested in a possible solution to this request.
would also like this
Does anyone have any input on the possibility of something like this happening?

It's already happened. Camera 360 Pro in the market (by mAPPn, Inc.) has HDR functionality.
Is the iphone's hdr also a simulation or the real thing?

well, the iphones implementation of HDR is actually the real thing, the one I mentioned is a simulation. But it's a pretty decent simulation, and already available.

Rats. Came across a review on it a while ago that said it was supposed to be a pretty good simulation, but I haven't tried it myself. I just remembered the name of the app when I saw this thread, and thought it would be a workable solution. Oh well.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Thanks for the suggestion but I am looking for the real thing not simulated HDR. Actually I am just curious if its possible.
Best method is to get a stand or something to set your phone on. Turn exposure all the way down snap a shot to the middle snap a shot and all the way up. Then bring those images into photoshop or an hdr program and combine them. I think the IOS does this all automatically, but i suspect you would get a better hdr from doing it manually yourself.
I imagine someone could write something to automatically change exposures and snap another pic
