I know this has been covered before (somewhere), but I did a Google search and found nothing but my own post elsewhere. This has been made moot by most newer ROMs, which have this tweak or another built-in to speed up the camera.
I grew tired of having to wait 2.5 seconds or so for a picture to be taken with the Kaiser's camera, so I found the following regkeys and made the appropriate value changes:
Two DWORD values are in HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Captparam. They are, CapKeyDelayTime and EnableCapKeyDelay.
To disable delay of picture being taken, change CapKeyDelayTime to 0 and EnableCapKeyDelay to 0.
CapKeyDelayTime is in milliseconds, so 2500 is 2.5 seconds. Change to your heart's content.
EnableCapKeyDelay is if you want to disable/enable the CapKeyDelayTime without changing its value. Disable/enable at your leisure.
Also of note is the CaptureTimer DWORD, which can be altered to increase or decrease the time the camera waits for timer pictures.
For those who do not have a registry editor, here are some helpful links:
PHM Registry Editor (free), Total Commander (free file explorer w/ registry editor), Resco Explorer 2007 ($29.95, free registry add-on)
A great tip that. i just made the changes and it make the camera almost useable !!
Thanks
hey thanks for the tip, everyone should do this! put this in the wiki, lots of people will benefit from this. thanks alot!

I wanted to disable it and set the value to 0 and realized it has been already disabled, I am using Duttys rom.

CapKeyDelayTime is set to 1500 by default in Dutty's Apr 09 ROM.
EnableKeyDelay is set to 0 by default in Dutty's Apr 09 ROM.
Maybe these two changes are part of what the HTC patch does to make the camera more useable.
WOW! this helps alot!
Thanks!
Hi there, great improvement for me but do you know if it is possible to change the resolution for sports or burst mode to at least 2Mpx???

I’ve been looking for the same thing as my 2 year old niece will not stay still for long enough. I use sports mode but 640*480 is ok on the phone but it would be nice if it was 1600*1200 or similar so I can print them.
Thank you very much!
it works
Change EnableDateFolder from 0 to 1
Adds date and time stamp to photos AND creates a folder for each day. Great if you're taking many photos as you'll have date time etc when taken. Great for a trip or other similar photos!
Change SportSpeedFast , SportSpeedMed, and SportSpeedSlow to control your burst speeds. Time again is in m-sec, so 125 = .125 seconds.
Change DefBurstCount to the amount of pictures you can take in burst mode.

Yeah, as stated in the first post, most users of newer ROMs don't need to bother with this, as the chefs know what they're doing. The HTC patch doesn't touch these settings, though.
As for an increased size of Sports Mode picture taking, the P7 key under HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\ is the controller of the Sports Mode. I tried setting the size to the same as is under the main picture setting P1, 1024x1748 (see the MainCamCaptSize and MainCamSupportCaptSize), but the camera locked up without saving the first picture. I also tried 768x1024 without luck. Seems it might be a problem with the speed of encoding? I'm not sure.

I have the original rom ver 1.81.415.4 WWE with CapKeyDelayTime set to 1500 and EnableKeyDelay set to 0 but the delay is almost 6 seconds..
I change the value of CapKeyDelayTime to 0, also tried EnableKeyDelay to 1, no luck
How can I capture instantly directly at button press..

Do you have the camera set to capture with half-press or full-press? I used to use full and my pictures would take 4-6 seconds to capture. With half-press, my camera snaps within 2 seconds.
Setting to half press and turning off shutter sound made a very big difference in lag time. Just be careful that without the shutter sound you still need to hold camera for a second after the focus locks (brackets turn green).
Changing these reg values made the camera even more responsive. Thanks!

You are right, its 2 second most of the time even if I am moving my hand, but still, I need an instant capture directly at button press..

I stopped by the Verizon kiosk today and was playing with their variant of the Elf/Touch and I noticed that the screen is a lot more sensitive to using a finger for navigation (for example, touching the Task Manager or the Signal Indicator brings up the intended menu very reliably, despite their small size). Is this the result of TouchFLO software and is it possible for a Kaiser to operate with the same level of sensitivity?
From what I gathered, TouchFLO only allows for "gestures" to be recognized, usually in order to activate a Cube program. Can someone clarify?
I apologize in advance if this has been covered in another post; searching out an answer is difficult when nearly every ROM includes the word "TouchFLO" in its description.

you can increase the sensitivity of the touch screen by going into advanced config and setting the touchflo sensitivity to a higher number...i have mine set at 5000, the default is like 200, give it a try, i'm fairly certain you'll like it much better.

and you found that 5000 gives the best results or was that just an example? It is taking a soft reset every time to check if it's better.
Hello,
i want to use the led light for an incomming sms more than 5 min. In the setting i´m not able to select the remember box (is not enable) i only can see that the time is set to 5 min.
I want that the led flash for 60 min.
Any ideas ?
Daniel
Daniel, I did manage to find it in the registry, to make it flash "no limit" the value was zero, the default value was 5000 (5000 milliseconds=5 seconds) so the value will be 60000 for 1 hour. My phone is doing a ROM update right now, so I will have to post after I search through the registry again. Try usingt PHM Regedit to search for "Flash" and keep clicking "find next" until you find it. I will post the reg key later.
Hello sasha26
i used TC and i only found two entry with FLASH.
The values are not for the flashing signal (one for camera?)
Daniel
I found the entrys
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notification/{A877......} (one entry for each notification)
if found the duration for new SMS / new MMS .... and more. Set the duration from 5 to 60 - restart.
now in the windows setting the value from 60 is in the field.
Daniel
led
but...
when i've an incoming sms the only led lighting is the circular one...
the up led in speaker phone when works?
OKAY this is wierd!
I didnt realize that the Diamond had a LED light!
I have had mine for a week now a didnt discover it was missing!
Can someone post the reg settings for the different values!
AFAIK there is only the circular light around the center button.
I think the "LED" you're referring to is the ambient light sensor next to the speaker?
When I set the duration to 0 - would it light on until I'd read the message?

Hello,
i found several entrys in
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notification/
for each entry in the listbox from "Windows - Settings - Sound - Notification".
I have a German Rom so i don´t know if the numbers in the {} the same as in the US / GB Rom.
But it is easy to find, in the entry you also find the text e.g. "New SMS".
I only set the entry in Duration from 5 to 60. In the Windows-Setting now 60Min appears.
Daniel
Is it possible to make the light be active for more then 60 minutes?
How about 120, or unlimited? (untill you have read the SMS)
Are you sure? I think the battery will not be happy eheheh

You could always try. 1440 for instance, that's 24hrs
more than 60 does not display, anyone an idea what happening about this ?
0= unlimited. If you look in settings after setting the reg to 0, it will show unlimited.
thanks for this tip
could not find the actual key to change....
unlimited does not work, the led goes off after 1 min.
anyone an idea ?

I have change to 120 - now i testing - 30min ago and wait
edit:
after 40min flash stoped ?!?
Thanks Matt....what value / line in the registry are you changing
[edit]
Thanks All....
After reading this thread at least six times decided to read again but carefully......
Have seen the light and the keys that needed changing...again many thanks.
Have set to 60
Testing missed call...set to 60.....shows in settings notification
good after 5 min then 30 min ......
will advise if reach 60 min.
has stoped at 50 minutes.....not sure why...
hmm, the right thing to do is to actual unlock this feature like it's meant to be, I wander why they greyed it, possibly they were so paranoid and afraid of battery life so they turned everything they can come for...
so, to sum it up, 0 in settings doesn't work and max available flashing is around 50 min.? For both missed calls and sms's?
EDIT:
Just found it. You have to change AvailableOptions to 12 instead of 11. This will ungray drop down menu just like it should be.
As you could see, when using the "Auto adjust brightness" option to use the light sensor, the LCD uses only 30% to 70% of the available range.
When using the diamond as GPS, by night, this one is too bright.
So, with the LightSensorSDK, I wrote this program which changes the brightness of the LCD, according to the ambient light, from 0% to 70% (in order to save the battery power)...
Don't forget to uncheck the Auto adjust function...
To use it :
Install the cab,
Uncheck the Auto adjust backlight option,
SoftReset your Diamond...
Program is constantly using high amount of cpu (~50 %) I think querying the sensor via the sdk is very computation-intensive. Uninstalled it now, but I like the idea, please continue to work on.
regards,
Daniel
Also, can we get one that uses %0-%100, sometimes 70 just doesnt cut it in direct sunlight...but the concept is really really good!
What are you using to monitor your CPU ?
Attached is a newer version (at 0% only if very dark), I have set via Advanced Config to 1000 the Light Sensor Interval...
This interval is used to know when to change the slider position...
In HKLM\NikisLight, you can set Maximum (10 is max) and Minimum (1 is min).

if we could figure out how to do these changes in the OS rather then using a thirdy party app it would be amazing. I have been looking into this my self though and cannot find how to yet.
Now it's working fine on my device, no more high cpu utilization.
What I see now is that it's a little bit too dark in normal rooms, may i "pitch" up the lowest treshold a little bit through any seeting?
Thanks for the most precious helpfull app since a long time ;-)

Daniel
Thanks for your great application. However, after install the program, the backlight become flicker once per second (even I cover the light sensor). Is it possible to lower the sampling period or have any solutions.

any chance this app can be reworked to use the kaiser's keyboard ambient light sensor? i'm sure lots of us would appreciate the functionality.
cheers.
great application!!
i always found 70% is not bright enough under direct sunlight
Great one ... also found that in dar the screen was way too bright and little lesser would be nice.
Thanks, and hope this suits and works well.
Can you please make one from 10(15)% -to- 70%, as at 0% the pics seem very dark .... thank you and much appreciated.

Nice app, nice idea. I installed it on my CDMA Sprint Diamond, and I'm not sure that it has any effect. I have two of the same devices and compared them side-by-side and the app seems to not make a difference.
Thanks!
I have install it on the diamond, but it change the light like crazy. Under the sun, it goes to the minimum. I have change the backlight interval with advanvce config, from 300ms to 1000, and back again, but the problem is the same.
Is there any chance to make it better?

Hey everyone I just wanted to know if anyone has any optimal camera tweaks and settings. While my settings are better than they were with the ATT stock rom, i still want better. How come I cant zoom in 2MP or 3MP and only in 1MP or worse? Also what are the settings to take pictures without much light ( i know the kaiser doesnt have a flash)? Why does the camera still take a long time to take a picture despite me doing this registry hack and turning the camera sound off?
I personally did this>
wo DWORD values are in HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Captparam. They are, CapKeyDelayTime and EnableCapKeyDelay.
To disable delay of picture being taken, change CapKeyDelayTime to 0 and EnableCapKeyDelay to 0.
CapKeyDelayTime is in milliseconds, so 2500 is 2.5 seconds. Change to your heart's content.
EnableCapKeyDelay is if you want to disable/enable the CapKeyDelayTime without changing its value. Disable/enable at your leisure.
Also of note is the CaptureTimer DWORD, which can be altered to increase or decrease the time the camera waits for timer pictures.
hello
i was wondering if there are any registry tweaks or apps that could improve the quality of pictures coming from the raph.. specifically something that would prevent pictures from coming out blurry.
i have been looking at this, but am afraid to mess with it... http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC%20Camera%20tweaks
thanks
Here is my collection. Just download TotalCommander and go to the registry folder with the three H's. Hkey also means HKLM.
Hkey_local_machine\software\HTC\camera\P3 MainCamCaptSize Value:64 to Value:1024
--------------------------------------------------
HKLM\software\HTC\camera\captparam
CaptureTimer=0
EnablecapkeyDelay=0
CapkeyDelayTime=0
OR
Advance Config Set Capture Key Delay Time to 0, from 1500
-------------------------------------------------
Hkey_local_machine\software\HTC\Camera\P3
Maincamsupportcaptsize
Value:80 to Value:1744
Some of these aren't even cooked into some ROMs, even the most popular ones! But they all work fine for me!
thanks blair that seems to do the trick
