Better Camera App?

Have all these WB6 roms got the same camera interface?
Has anyone found a better app for this, becuase the camera app that comes with this is awful compared to the old wm2003 one.
displays as 1/2 screen and really low res
I remember the original wm2003SE homalaya roms had a similar problem ,until someone ported the original wm2003 camera app over and it ran like a charm.
I've tried coolCamera (ateksoft) and it seems really good, but i'm not paying for something i'll use so rarely.
Are there any hacks for the wm6 camera ap yet? or has anyone poprted the old one?

I can say you are right, If I compare with old application of camera, it is very bad. But I am sure the room master will not give attention only for this because it is additional software. Including me doesn't care about camera until you wrote this thread
But I agree sometimes we need camera function

I will release my new rom soon with Faria's Cam app

ather, If you release ROM with working cube launcher completely, it will make different with another ROM It is just my two cent Sorry if my wish is too much. I know it will be very hard work.
But new application camera will be a cool rom too

Upgrade for TYTN II Available on HTC CLUB

Hello,
Go to HTC CLUB :
07/03/2008
Hot fix for TyTN II photo quality issue
If you zoom in on a captured photo and notice grainy, maze-like patterns within the image itself (this problem is caused by too much sharpness enhancement being applied in bright-light environments), please download and install this hot fix to solve the problem. Sharpness parameters within the photo will then be reduced with only a minimal loss of image sharpness.
enjoy

If HTC would be in pharmacy and drugs, i would call it a "Placebo".
# of pixels per pic similar as before fix though. No granular difference even with a x20 zoom enlarging soft.
Taken with same position - same light
Downside:
Application starts slower and focus takes longer.
Tested on Alex's 5.2 Home.

I took 2 pictures from the same object - one before installing the cab, and one after installing the cab.
Result: can't see any improvement too

There IS a definite improvement. The 'Zoom' which HTC refers to is not the camera zoom when taking, but the post viewing on a PC or in the album app. I used to have this horrible 'hatching' type effect when shooting on 3mp especially in the sky. It was very noticable on cloudy days. This has now disappeared.
Worthwhile fix in my book.

This might just be an updated Camera application that most of us have already gotten thanks to Nadavi.

It's not a new app, just a couple of new, replacement DLLs. It seems to do what the description says it does - it gets rid of the herringbone pattern that sometimes appeared in the grain of pictures in certain lighting situations. The pattern was only ever seen when pictures were blown up.
It's not a magic fix for everything else people dislike about the camera app, but it's worth installing.

according to Alex on this dup thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375100&page=3
It is newer then what polaris camera tossed in, thats if they did toss in anything. both DLLs were newer when I overwrite in my windows folder using totalcmd. Try dragging the pictures to a computer with a good monitor and start zooming in. Maybe if someone can experiment in a zoom in test with old driver to new drivers.

If you're manually installing the DLLs, ModuleID.dll isn't required. It's used in the cab install/uninstall process. Updated the duplicate thread for clarity about ModuleID.DLL too.

Is there a way that you could post the cab itself? I have a Tilt and HTC eclub won't let me get the file. Thanks

This is a year old update.....If you had a wm 6.1 rom before installing it then most likely the update was included in it.

I have a problem here. After i install this hot fix, my camera goes blank! I cant see any but when i click the button its capturing. Can someone help me here? I'm using HTC Tytn II with WM 6.1. Thanks

6.1 camera cab?

Anyone have a way of installing the "default" 6.1 camera app? I was messing around with some of the other camera versions, and would like to go back to the "stock" 6.1 camera, but can't locate the cab file for it...I'm pretty sure it's on the device as a cab, but don't seem to be able to locate it.

I do not know if you still need it, I didn´t see your post before, here I have a cab of Nadavi, if it is what you are loocking for, congrats to him.

If you go to the official thread and read the last page of posts, you'll see that using the cab with the "Fix" is not recommended. Simply use the regular 5.0.4.2915.00 version and you'll be fine.

Do you have any screen caps from this ROM? Do you know if the FB integratoin works on this one? Do you know if the Photo Album picture orientation issue is there in TF3D tab? Do you know if the Tabs under the picture in Favs in People Tab in TF3d are mapped correctly to the actual number rather than dial the number you have selected while adding the Fav (For ex. You dial work or Home, it still calls the cell if you have selected the cell number while adding the faves).
Sorry too many Q, but since you are posting some one elses cooked ROM with just a download link with No reference to the actual Chef's information.. I am asking you all this with the assumption you have flashed this ROM.

For now I'm testing this rom and for me everything working fine.But I'm not expert

KARMBA wellcome into the best device of HTC,I remember you from the Trinity,wellcome...

I have just flashed to this ROM and played with it for 2 hours here are my feebacks:
This ROM used Rhodium version so new start menu
seetings -->all settings from start menu works fine
-I tried to record a video from htc album, no problem to play it after I don't notice any lag
-Youtube works like a charm no lag
-Adding favorite to people works fine, changing contacts pictures is done without issue only one thing I noticed you may have a black screen for 2 or 5 seconds after selecting the picture for the contact.
-Google Map is not the latest version (this is not a bug) you can still upgrade to the latest one
-I can't complain about the speed of the ROM it looks fast to me
-Synchronisation to exchange server works fine
-Mettings are read by a lady voice when you have a notification.
-TT7 works fine
-Myphone works fine
-TFLO rotation works fine
-Battery usage seems to be good
Problem:
-From HTC Album pictures does not auto rotate
-Home button and back button problem still there
-No Zoom slider when using Opera (It's not a bug it must be related to the version used) but still good to know
What I don't test:
-Checking if this ROM has ring tone problem
KARMBA thanks for sharing your ROM, you've done an excellent job
I will continue to play with it tomorow and will report if any bug
I think I will keep it for a while, no crash during my testing

Thanks for your observations, I ended up flashing it myself and concur with your remarks. It's a full featured ROM, not much removed, hence the size. For Visagdude, it has the same bug with the Fav tabs, only dials the one number regardless of which button you use, otherwise a nice ROM. Not sure that it's as fast as Davide's or HN's, but seems to be less buggy, quite stable and smooth. Think I'll try it for a bit longer.

My 2 pence...
Just tried this ROM for around 30 minutes and it seemed fine however...
* The camera no longer has the 5mp setting and the screen goes white for a few seconds after taking a picture.
* The orientation issue that is in Dutty's 2.1 is in this rom which appears to have the new album.
* Cannot set personal ringtone, only the default ones.
* The Internet tab is not the new one as in the Davideuck v2.
Stopped at this point as it was late and am about to flash back to Dutty's 2.0 ROM. Too many issues with this one.

Hey.. guys.. actually after asking those Qs in the post, I downloaded the ROM and flashed it on the way home from work (I have over 1 hour commute). I played around with it for a while and here are my impressions...
- This is the new Rodhium ROM with the icons Start menu.
- The ROM feels fast and stable.
- Exchange Sync is Good and immediate (No issues)
- Camera I felt works a bit better and faster in taking pictures.
- Front Camera: For the 2nd time in this forum, I have experienced the front camera of my device working and it is AWESOME. While storing "My Contact car" in the Picture if you choose the camera option, the front camera gets activated. The other ROM that has this feature was "onkolog's" lite version. Both these ROMs feel similar except onkolog's ROM has exchange synch issue.
- G-Sensor: This ROM has an app called Gsensor, which gives us 2 simple options Enable G-Sen and Disable G-Sen. Choosing either will result in a soft reset and it works perfect.
- Opera: There is no zoom bar in this ROMs Opera. No issues with Opera.
- No Push Pages for Opera Favs.
- Face Book: No FaceBook integration. It gives the text while saving My Contact card but never gives the option on the next screen.
- TF3D Pictures orientation does not have any issues.
- Speed dail contacts does dails only one number for different tabs like every other Rohdium ROM I have flashed (And I have tried ALL of them
All in all... A very stable and Fast ROM. I have decided to use this over the weekend.
Good Job Chef... Please fix the ones I have mentioned.. this ROM will be very popular.

Hi people!
I'm very surprised with this ROM
I flashed my HD last night and until now, this appears to be the most stable ROM with this new Manila interface.
The only bug that I have here is the 3M of the camera, the rest is all OK.
During today I will do more tests to see how he behaves.
Great Job...GREAT ROM

I'm sure we tried the same ROM. I did not chk the 3 mp settings for the camera until you mentioned it. but here is the thing, for the first time I am able to take pictures of my One year old, since he is never steady. I'm evening able to send 'em via email to my friends and family. since I Don't ha ve 3g in the US for this device, 3MP pics really help.
Ring Tones: Yes you are right, cannot assign personal ring tones.
FYI - I'm typing this message from my device .

thanks a lot

I'm not sure I get your point as the 5mp camera can be turned down to 3mp,2mp etc in the settings. Either way I'm glad your happy with it.

Any info on this?

I am only saying that I am glad that I am able to take decent pics with this ROM of my kids.. which never was possible when I had the 5 MP camera. No doubt the 5 MP camera takes one of the best pictures when the target is steady... But, why would I use a Cell Phone camera... Personally, I would use my Cell Phone camera coz.. its usually always with me and when I want to capture a moment with my family or kids, or want to share something with my friends and family... I would want to use it. Sadly till now the HD camera did not really help me in this aspect. My wife uses an iPhone which has 2 MP camera and her phone takes better pics than my "5MP" HD camera...
I rest my case.

Well said and same case with me too

To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
To show favorites programs page on manila:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila://programs.page.hidden =dword:00000000
This will revert new Manila with old Start Menu.....

[Q] New HTC Album (Topaz/Rhodium) - How to make pics rotate

This is actually better than it was before. With the older Album versions, if you had a picture with wrong orientation (e.g. because the GSensor did not work when taking the picture or the picture was taken on another device), you could do nothing about that because if you rotated the device, the picture also rotated and was in wrong orientation again.
Now, if a picture has wrong orientation, you can simply rotate your device and don't have to twist your head anymore.
The best solution was on HTC Polaris: In the Polaris Album, there was a gesture for rotating the pictures (drawing an angle on the screen).
For some odd reason, HTC took that rotate gesture out. I've tried a lot of things to get it back and asked a thousand times here on the forum, but all without luck.
With the new Album, at least the bugging behavior of rotating the picture when the device was rotated is solved and there's no need for 'abarticulations' of your head anymore.
