Help needed: Camera screwed - taking all pics upside down - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

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!

[Q] Strange Gallery Problem

I am having some weird problems with my Gallery app.
1) Gallery seems to take a long time to open certain photos. While the photo is opening, the screen will usually timeout and turn off before it's even displayed. If I keep the screen awake, sometimes the picture will never load. I can flick to another photo and then back and I'll see the picture.
2) Copied a few photos to a folder on my Internal SD card. All of them are around 1-2M, 72dpi photos taken with various digital cameras. When I browse to that folder in the gallery, it will hang and take forever to generate the previews. Of the 10 photos in the gallery, 8 of them will not generate a preview and I can't open them. I have one photo that does open but the same exact photo that was touched up in Photoshop and has all the same properties as the original will not open.
Media scanner is working, I am able to add/remove photos to the internal storage and they open fine on my laptop, I can take new photos although they don't always show up in the gallery immediately.
My phone is the Vibrant and has been rooted, fixlag applied, and Captivate camera apk installed. This problem was happening before I changed the camera software.

[Q] Zoe album problem

Hi all,
What I did is, I took a zoe photo, and then I moved the zoe photo by the spliting function to /Picture folder.
Afterthat I use the ES explorer to move back those 20photos+1video files to 100MEDIA folder. And now, I cannot see the moving zoe in the photo album, and it just shows the 3 sec. video.
How can I restore it back? Thanks a lot for helping.

It is a little different. So click on the video and when it's playing click it again it will pause. You can then use the slider at the bottom to go through the frames. Once you find a frame you like you can go to menu and save the frame.

Thanks. However what I mean is now the album recongize it as a video clip instead of a zoe photo. So it cannot show it in a magic zoe style.
Anyway to solve it? Thanks.
You can't. Looked at the gallery sqlite database using sqlite editor. You can see there that Zoe photos are stored in there. Once a Zoe photo is removed the data get's deleted and when you return it back it doesn't recognize the zoe photo anymore because the deleted data in the database is totally gone.
I assume that the camera app creates that data in there everytime you take a photo and mediaserver removes it when it can't detect it anymore.

Thanks a lot. That means I've no way to resolve it back.
However, I think out a issue, for example, if we change to another New HTC one, we cannot just copy all files from the old phone to the new one with the zoe album keep alive in the new one.
Yes! Or maybe you can by backing up the data of the gallery and restore it back on a new device(Would require root though).
Also I have made this suggestion already on HTC about a month ago about the issues with Zoe, Gallery & dropbox but they ignored it. Seems like they didn't get enough response about the issue.

{FIXED}No sequence shot or object removal option.

Hi all.
I've been using the Revolution HD ROM now for a few days and i love it. The only thing im having an issue with is getting the Zoe camera to do a sequence shot, or object removal. I have watched some tutorial videos on you tube and tried it myself but i simply don't get the options when i click edit/retouch. I have shot tons of Zoe's today which would be perfect for object removal but im still not getting it. After i have shot a Zoe i click on the edit option and the only option i get is to trim the video clip down. Am i doing something blatantly stupid or something?? Any help would be appreciated its driving me up the wall!!!

You are probably recording movies not zoe shots. It only works with zoe shots.
For this, press the camera on the left side (landscape mode), so that it gets blue. Then take a picture. It will record three seconds, which you can later retouch.
What I do do is turn on the Zoe feature so that it turns blue then press camera. I must have 30 3 second clips on my phone, some of them perfect for object removal, cars driving past the camera and such but I still don't get the option. It's proper starting to do my head in now.
All you need to do is hit the edit icon and its there

I don't get that option I get a page allowing me to trim the video and the buttons cancel and save.
It's right there under retouch when your on a Zoe

Once again, you need to turn zoe on (blue) and then take a photo, not a movie.
The edit options you get are only for movies, so you probably recorded a movie. Take a still instead.
Well I flashed my Rom again this morning without wipe and all my options suddenly came up. Must have been a dodgy flash or something. Thanks for all your replys.
Good. Must have been a strange flash

[Q] Photos + Gallery Help

Hello guys,
With a little help from my friend i believe i will solve this issue.
When i take some photos and use the video feature, to compile all the photos and make a beautiful video with some effects with all the photos i've taken, some of the photos (in the video) appear to be doubled (in the same image) during the video.
Some photos split in 2, other in 3.
What is this? Any help, would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are talking about the ''video highlight'' feature in the gallery app, this is normal, its a built-in effect to compensate for pictures taken in portrait mode(1080*1920) when the video plays in landscape mode (1920*1080). If picture were not duplicated/cropped that way, there will be 2 black bars each sides for every pictures clicked in portrait.

Hello,
Thanks for your kind answer.
Let me explain better:
Today i take some photos. I select the photos and with video highlight feature, some of the photos i selected appear in the video doubled or tripled (in the same image). Like same picture: left side no zoom, right side with zoom.
Did i make myself clear? Do you understand?
Only in the video some photos appear with the image divided. Same picture both sides (sometimes with zoom, other times no zoom at all).
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Yes that was already clear, the issue you are talking about is not, its a built-in effect from the ''video highlight'' feature of the gallery app.
All HTC One do exactly the same thing.

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?
