Hey, I was having some trouble with my TyTN's camera where taking a picture is really really delayed, it was taking a picture literally two or three seconds after I pressed the button.
Now, I inquired about this and someone told me KaiserTweak has an option under Camera to set the camera delay, but in the newest version of the KaiserTweak this option has been removed.
It seems like it would really help and I think I just need the old .cab version but I can't find any older versions of the tool.
Does anyone know why it was removed and/or where I can find an older version?
Cheers.

It was the version from june which had this option, i'm not aware of a newer version than that.
Also, is there a reason you didn't post this in the kaisertweaks thread?
sounds like you got the camera set to full press. you'll need change to half press and maybe turn the shutter sound off. you do this in the settings that are available while the camera is use uses

Thanks, I did this but still it gives a 2 or 3 second delay where if I move my phone the slightest it will capture a blurry image..
The shutter speed is soo damn slow, this has to be the worst camera tool I've ever used on a phone..
Is there no way to reduce the massive delay?
thanks again.

KaiserTweak's Capture Delay setting works for me on every ROM that I run. If you set the camera app to Half Press, and the delay to 0 seconds, but it's still not working, then it sounds like you've got some registry corruption going on there.

The thing is I have no option to set the delay to 0, which is what I need.. The current version of KaiserTweak does not have this feature so I need an older version if anyone has a copy??

Hi
I made this little CAB to install the registry tweaks that prevent your screen from blanking. I can confirm that on my Orange Diamond, using Bepe's .97 this actually works, whereas using Advanced Config didn't solve the issue.
The CAB file is uninstallable should you wish to remove it.
Thanks,

Can you explain what´s in that cab?

Actually i found that using DT didn't work either, and I also find it more convenient to apply the registry changes with a cab file, rather than having to install an app I don't use and then make a load of clicks.
If you prefer to do it using a tweaking app then this cab isn't for you. The only reason I posted it is because I use it myself.

Well actually it's been very easy to achieve by taking registry snapshots, and then using diff on a linux box to find the changes, then import them into a cab file.
So thanks for wishing me luck but it's not required.
Sarcasm breeds sarcasm and frankly i'm slightly ammused that on a forum designed to help users share tips and software, a simple CAB i use after new ROM flashes has created such a hostile response.
I'm not attempting to replace or belittle your tool monte, it's certainly streets ahead of what i can do at the moment, however as bepe's ROM lets me run cabs at build this way is nice and easy for me to ensure that if I need to do a hard reset I can reinstate my registry tweaks during the reset without having to install any additional software.

Brilliant, I'd tried the registry tweaks in the tweaks thread, and advancedconfig without any luck and this cab worked perfectly.

This CAB file is flawed, because it causes unnecessary battery drain.
It's wrong to make the screen never go to sleep during a phone call.
If you'll think about it for a moment, during a call we never really need the screen to be active for more than 1 minute or so, from the last time we touched it. If you are calling a digital voice machine (either your voicemail or anything), 99.999% of the time it won't take more than 1 minute between key presses.
The ideal tweak should just make the screen behave like when you're not in a call, meaning the screen reduces brightness after ~30 seconds, and shuts down after ~1 minute. In order to be 100% on the safe side, you could make it shut down after 2 minutes from last key press. BUT, making it never go to sleep is simply a waste of battery if you're doing for example a 30 minutes conversation.
center button and screen back on
My preference is to have the screen come on, see who it is, then allow it to go blank. If you need it to come back on, i just push the center of the scroll, enter button or whatever its called, and the screen comes back on. (at least it does on mine) . I like it that the screen blanks so it will save battery.
But i dont think we should discourage anyone from making any kind of cab if they desire.

Still, it is unnoying to press that damn key every 5 seconds. The screen should shut down after 1-2 minutes, but NOT never.

Thats abosolute BS. It is NOT flawed. If you dont want your screen to stay on just - dont use the CAB. I think most users around here are smart enought to know that keeping the screen on during a call takes a battery hit. If they use the CAB as I intend to they are willing to accept this.
As you all probably know, when taking a picture with this phone the camera takes about five seconds to actually take the picture after pressing the button. I did a search and read that I could go into the registry and change a couple things, which I did. However, that did not change the capture time. Does anyone know a fix?
its not neccessary to edit the registry, just search around the options
menue->advanced settings
should be the first entry
greets
Thanks but the first entry is the review time after the picture is taken, used to see what the picture looks like. Not what I was looking to change.
Same problem here, 5 seconds of lag, it makes the sound and the people move thinkink that the picture had been taken but oohh surprise .... so I always get a ghost picture LOL
Same here .... Is totally imposible to take a photo ghost-free
can we use another app to take picture? I know that coolcamera works beautifully with my HTC prophet. Does coolcamera work with touch diamond? Anyone tried? Or any better apps for the camera? HTC camera never respond quickly no matter in what devices. I guess we need to replace the HTC camera with something else.
If you have a delay in taking a photo just change the settings using the Advanced Configuration Tool. Under the camera options, capture delay should be disabled, key delay disabled and capture key delay set to zero.
also, try this:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/
and set
CaptureTimer = 0 (old=5000)
Two more things to do - go into the camera advanced settings (in the camera itself) and turn off the click sounds and set the review time to no limit. With those changes I think I have a working camera here...

I know where click sounds and review time are. But How do i get to capture delay, key delay, ect. I know you said use advanced configuration tool. Does that come on the phone? If so how do i get to it? Or is it only on the diamond. Im new to xda and I dont see a thread for the HTC Touch Pro. Which is the phone im using. So I assume anything in the HTC Diamond threads would work with my phone.

But I saw alot of people saying they messed up there phone playing with settings so i havent installed it yet.
DO you have the new version of advanced config?

Download Regedit for HTC or whatever register editor and go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/ there you can edit and modify the timer, with all these tricks the camera is working a little bit better, but Im still getting ghost pictures... I give up with this phone ........
to tek: i had the wrong advanced config. the latest one does have all the camera things. and it works. the lag is only probably about a second and a half know.

Hi, guys.
How I can switch off this annoying camera sound? I try to find some keys in registry, but can't find some useful. From camera menu I can't switch off sound, just choose from 4 variants of it.
Thanks for assistance.
you can switch it of in the camera menu...
Not necessarily...
Sony removed the "sound off" option in the newest NAM R2A ROM
Legal issues I guess
guess so too.
there was a political discussion 'bout that. taking pictures of peeing womans or so without makeing a noise ... im somwhat sure that this was the work of an american politician.
I think it has to do with this new law:

Why not just turn off your ringer before taking the picture. Then the speaker is disabled and voila, no camera sound.

No need for X1 (R2A), just delete sounds.blob
Either:
- Overwrite sounds.blob with a 0kb file or delete it (whatever works for you)
- Or set HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\Camera\PROPERTY_PHOTO_SHUTTER_SOUND to value 4.
- Or turn down system volume to 0.
Disables the shutter sound.

Because the camera sound is something I newer want, so why not remove it. So anyway. There is a solution so all this posts that is posted now is unnecessary. Like mine
All I did was choose Camera Sound 4, there's no noise. I'm running UK R2 btw.
Which file contains the sound for auto focus? The sound is too loud. I would lower the volume of the sound file or even delete it completely.
I sometimes forget to turn off the phone volume and that sound is too noisy!

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.
Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?
thanks man it helped

Hi Guys
From where i can mute /disable the camera shutter sound, its so loud, i want to disable it.
My 2nd question is, whenever i take the picture from Xperia, the camera is so slow in all the means, why is that so? Either i start the camera, it nearly take half minute to get ready, If i take the snap after pressing the camera button, the snap is caputred after around 10-15 second, so for the meantime i have to keep the camera in still positon, otherwise if i move it i get the blurr kind of image.
And in the end if i fortunatley able to get some clear picture, closing the camera or to take another pic, i still have to wait for for 20 seconds.
Is there some software/ patch which can remove these problems? or i will appreciate the guidance of experts.
I am using Xperia( Made in Taiwan), with latest ROM version from Sony Ericsson.
Thanks
Jade
in your camera settings
shutter sound click "snd.1" and change it to off
your camera settings also include various other settings you can change
to make the camera more like you want it
like many people get confused by the while click on screen where you want to have it focus
turning that off would prob help you
maybe all autofocus if you want it to take pictures fast
Rudegar,
Thanks alot the 2nd problem seems to be exactly what you pointed out. I never knew that before ,
But for the first question i asked about that Camera Picture Capture Sound, i am able to found the option for it, but i cannot found the option to mute it, infact i found 4 sounds option over there, and there was no option for "No Sound" or Mute , neither browse option to select any other sound file.
THanks
You can always make an "empty" sound file and replace the default one for the shutter. It is somewhere in the Windows folder IIRC.

Everytime i press the camera button to click a photo, the screen turns up blank(dark grey).
