You can map camera button to another app.

yes, that works if I want to make pictures.
But it doesn't work if an app is starting the camera, then the original camera starts.

HTC Camera > HTC Album

Ok, I have the excellent HTC Album installed on my Vario III. Great stuff.
It would be a perfect setup if the Camera app linked through to the Album app when I click the 'Album' button when in the camera. Right now, it opens up Windows Picture and Video Viewer, which is poo poo in comparison to Album.
Surely, there must be some registry tweak to change the default picture app from HTC Camera?
I was wondering this too
nope, this is hard coded and can not be changed..
to set album being default viewer go to HKLM - software - htc - htcalbum - default viewer set to "1"
That doesn't fix the problem.
THe only supposed way this has been accomplished is to overwrite your \windows\pimg.exe file with a copy of the htcalbum.exe file. But this would involve completely losing your pimg.exe (the current default image viewer) since its not backup-able. And you'd need to use a prog like Resco explorer to even do that. I didn't try this. Not willing to lose my pimg.exe. I've seen a couple people who did manage to do it asking if they can somehow get their pimg.exe back. I took that as a bad sign. But I wouldn't know since I didn't dare it.

Just replace the camera.exe with the New camera.exe form HTC TOUCH Dual !
replacing the camera.exe will completely overwrite the not only the picture viewer, but also the camera application.
is the camera app from HTC Touch better? Does it support the 3 MP?

where would one get the new camera app? is the camera lagg and slow like on the tilt?
I haev been trying to locate a copy of the new camera.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY HTC DOESNT SPEND A LITTLE TIME TO UPDATE THE HTC SOFTWARES ON THE TILT/KAISER.
Man the other HTC devices are so different from this one we have and have no direct internal competitions. they SHOULD DO IT.

HTC Camera working on HP ?

Hi all,
I recently got the new HP iPAQ 614c. The 'c' stands for 'camera'. Although it should stand for 'crappy'.
My question : on the phone, the camera app says 'ArcSoft version 2.0.0.9'. Now i would like to know if the HTC camera soft (5.0.4.2915) will run on the iPAQ. Is it also provided by ArcSoft ? Will it give problems regarding the non-presence of a second camera ?
TIA,
Dirk
*****EDIT*****
Solved.... The core application from the HTC Camera 5.* IS the same ArcSoft 2.0.0.9 as is used on the HP. No extra's like GPS photo though .

Rhodium and HTC camera for X1

Hi everyone,
I´ve used the search option and can´t really find anything which explains this. I´ve tried to install HTC camera cab and HTC Rhodium cab. However, when I start them up, camera doesn´t work. I cut and paste Xperia camera folder from Program Files to memory card or directly just move it temporarily to PC so that phone has no camera software. If I install HTC camera, it kind of starts up but can´t see anything you´re focusing on screen. You can take a pic and even see it on media files but you can´t see on screen what you´re focusing on. If I install Rhodium cab, it directly says "Cannot start camera app. Some files may be missing or certif hasn´t been approved" or something like that. Could someone tell me if I have to tweak anything in the registry when I install these HTC cabs?? I´m using original spanish generic SE rom (latest one released) and R3A Xperia camera driver. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Anyone...?
Are you using the cam drivers witch gives you auto flash and geo-tagging? If yes, why Rhodium cam? Whats better in that one ? If you dont have the CAB of X1 cam with geo-tag et auto flash, pm me and ill send it to you... Cuzz if you have these, there is no point of Rhodium cam...
Hi ElChe, thanks for respoding;
Yes, I´m úsing R3A camera driver, the one that gives you geotag, autoflash and 4x zoom. However, I´ve read on this forum that Rhodium camera is faster and quality is a little better. Don´t know if that´s true but I wanted to try the HTC camera which gives you 5 mpx option. On another forum I read that the quality is a little better than the normal X1 camera driver. Can any more light be shed on this...? I know there´s quite a few posts on this but I just find that the X1 camera leaves a little to be desired. Outdoor pics on sunny days are pretty good but shots taken on overcast/cloudy days are "fake" as hell. White balance is off (colours don´t look real) and overexposure is present in most pics. Also, when choosing Fine quality on pics, why is sharpness so exagerated? The outline of every object is ridiculously sharp. Not such a bad thing if white balance was right but it just feels that this camera module was rushed by HTC when they built the X1. Mind u, don´t know if it´s down to hardware or software when it comes down to the X1´s camera.
No one else know how to make them work properly?
Ho well... I didnt knew that... I use my cam alot so ill do my research too! there is some cooked roms with it build in already, sense roms... they have both cams installed... Ill check out if I can find something and if I do ill post it here...
Great! I´m simply curious to see quality on the HTC 5mpx option camera and on the Rhodium camera. I´m not too unhappy with X1 cam, I´ve snapped quite a lot of pics and like i said, outdoor pics on sunny days come out pretty good actually (even sharper than my former so-labelled Cybershot K800i). Lucky there´s an option on the phone to "autocorrect" pic when taken and also, Microsoft Picture Viewer´s option for autocorrecting white balance on outdoor pics is great as well (especially on this phone which overexposes some pics too much).
