Help needed: Camera screwed - taking all pics upside down

Ok need some help guys... I haven't seen this bug/problem before on the internet.
Basically to cut a long story short, my camera is taking pics (storing them) upside down, and also the HTC album/camera program is viewing all pics upside down (so pics I took before are showing upside down, and new ones are first taken upside down by the camera, then rotated upside down again when viewed so shown correctly again).
I'm pretty sure it happened when I switched too fast between upside down/front cam and other modes. Now it takes both front and back cam pics upside down. Which 'tard-head thought of an upside down mode for the front cam anyway?
The video thumbnails and recording is ok. The thumbnails in the touchflo interface display correctly (so the newly taking images are displayed upside down, as they are stored by the cam upside down)
Soft reset didnt work.
I looked through the registry but couldnt find a key that contained wether the camera is upside down or not.
I don't want to do a hard reset just yet as I dont want to loose al my contacts, progs, settings etc.
So I was thinking maybe the camera.exe and related files (dll's especially) in the \windows\ directory got screwed, can anyone upload all their files containing "camera" so I can try replacing them? (In my directory now there are 7 files starting with camera, including one executable and 3 dlls).
Thanks a lot and I'll keep you all updated on this weird bug!

Linking HTC Album with Camera in WM6.1

Ok, I finally got my Tilt camera working(got rid of the black screen) after trying multiple camera .cabs from here. My problem now is that the HTC album no longer comes up when I hit album on the camera screen. It goes to the default album which I don't want. In WM6.0 the HTC Album attached to camera automatically when installed, now since the rom upgrade it doesn't.
Any help would be great. Thanks

Try here there are both album and camera here:

I can confirm that both work well. Try the version of htc album from that post if it won't work the way you want it I would advise to install both camera and album from that thread as they are 100% compatible. What was the story witgh your previous camera? Why didn't it work?

Image Quality

Ever since I started running Manila2D with a custom skin my picture quality has gone waayy down. For some reason when I upload pics from my PC to my phone, on the phone the pic comes out pixelated and very low quality. Its never done this before. Ive searched but only found upgrades for the camera. The pic is uploaded from the PC, not taken with the camera on my fone. Anyone have an idea why is could be?

Still trying to figure this out..any ideas at all? Anything at all would be helpful!

Could just be the preview in the M2D or the HTC Album? When I use HTC Album it pixalates the picture a bit more than windows Picture and Video program. I don't think the radio would effect this at all, but maybe try a different radio? Or read up some on drivers, maybe your cooked ROM doesn't have them, or they have old ones?

[Q] Missing Camera Modes

Yesterday I rooted my phone and after a day of use everything seems normal except that I've just noticed that I've only got two modes in the camera app. Where there were previously several options in the camera mode selections (the square icon with four circles) screen including Zoe and Video, now I only have two Camera and Selfie.
Also, when I take a picture the app crashes immediately after taking a picture. The little icon with the last picture taken that takes you to your photos is also missing. The google camera app works perfectly as far as I have tested, but I really like the zoe camera.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Fix it, somehow
I haven't extensively tested this, but in case someone else makes their way to this thread with a similar problem I have found a solution.
I installed the apk of the HTC Camera app. Someone in the Verizon M8 forum posted it here:

Zoom not working correctly for some camera apps

For a while now, I haven't been able to zoom in/out properly using camera apps that I've found on the app store (particularly Z Camera and Camera360). The problem is that when these camera apps are open, the image you see does not zoom. So if I pinched zoomed (or even used the volume keys to zoom), the live view you see does not zoom. However, once you actually take a picture, then the zoom actually shows up. Here's an example to hopefully clarify the problem:
Using the Camera360 app, I pinch zoom to 8x but don't take the picture yet. The live picture view on my screen stays at 1x even though I zoomed to 8x. Then, I take the picture and when I view/open it, the image is truly zoomed in to 8x.
As you can probably guess, this issue is a bit frustrating since you can't really tell how much you've zoomed in/out until after you take the picture. The strange thing is that the stock camera app works perfectly (no zoom problems).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active-i537. This problem existed when I had UCUAMF3 (4.2.2) as my firmware. I've done a factory reset, and that didn't solve the issue. I just installed UCUCNE3 (4.4.2) in hopes of fixing the problem, but that also hasn't helped.
Any ideas as to what's causing this issue and how to fix it?
