Hey yet another desire cam question...
Just wondering if there is a way to have both cameras on the phone? Tried R2 desire cam and it still doesn't play nice with apps so I want the original on there for that purpose. But if I'm just taking pics then I would like to use the desire cam.
I imagine that flashing the R2 desire cam via recovery changed some system files? Can I just rename the original camera apk to something other than "camera.apk" and push that into the app folder, having two cameras or is it more involved than that?
thx
This worked with R1
Doesnt seem like it works with R2...
I pushed into system/app with a different name, and when calling it up using facebook I *DO* get the option to choose between the two cameras, but no matter which one I use it seems to open up the Desire cam.
Any ideas?
thx!
Guess nobody else wants dual cams

I seem to have this problem with most apps that prompt the camera to be used. For example, the program "A World of Photo" (you send a random photo from your location to someone else in the world, and they send one to someone, etc) will automatically prompt my camera to come up so I can take the said picture, but after the pic is taken, it just goes back ready to take another pic as if I had opened the camera app. It doesn't go back to A World of Photo as I am assuming it should.
I am on CM 5.0.5.3 (wasn't feeling 5.6) and using the desire camera. Is the desire camera the problem, and how might I fix?
thx

Try reverting to stock camera and see if the problem persists.
Is that as easy as pushing the stock htccamera apk back in the system app folder or do i need to do something with the existing desire app? Sorry, still getting used to android.
edit: and why do I keep getting read-only filesystem errors when trying to do so?
edit2: ok just needed a remount - got it copied over. Now I have two camera apps lol.
edit3: yup it was the desire camera apps fault... well I have dual option now I guess so it does "work" with the stock camera app. Work in progress!
thx
Just wondering if you guys have had any problems with the desire camera in this regard. So programs/games that have you take a pic (like facebook to post, or worldofphoto, etc) will call up the cam, but once a pic is taken my desire cam just left me in the camera app?
I switched to the stock camera app which works fine with the programs. However, I HATE the stock camera, esp the lack of shutter sound removal.
Also, when I pushed the stock camera back onto the phone it broke my desire camera app so now I have two on there, but only the stock works.
-does the desire camera just not work like this right now? havent really seen much about it.
-is there a way to have both camera apps work on the phone (that way I can use the stock cam for program-related camera work and desire for just plain photo taking)?
-if not, how do I remove the desire camera???
thx
nope, doesn't work well with other programs yet. That's the reason I got rid of it.
Search for the originalcamera.apk in the forums. Flash that. Or just reflash your ROM. No wiping necessary.
the desire cam works fine with goggles and shopsavvy for me. cant speak for facebook (i must be the only one left w/o an account) or others. if i recall right, i had issues when i flashed cyans latest 506, but reinstalling via recovery sorted it out.

Has anybody tried all the versions spread on the XDA Forum? I tried this ones:
Versions available: (Use the latest from below, or use DeToX-cz's installer app)
1. "Talk_with AV.zip". Same as stock with just the FC fixed so it works on other phones.
2. "Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip" or "talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip". Added a fix to let it work over your data connection.
3. "talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip". Added an additional fix to let it work over data.
4. xilard version. #3 with Camera and microphone tweaks.
5. [email protected]'s gTalk installer. Installs the new gTalk files. Needs root. Not sure what mods he has incorporated in it.
6. xilard version +theos0o portrait fix, by $omator
7. version "1.33" by theos0o [thread][multiupload link]. I copied the 3 files in the update.zip manually using android commander and it works fine. (Nexus one, 2.3.5 CM nightly)

and the one app in the market, which can install all of the custom gtalk apps.

In some of them, the other person cannot see me. In other versions, cam works fine, but I cannot hear the person and viceversa. In the modaccos version, the front cam is 90° turned around. Well you know all the problems. Thats why my question:
Does anybody knows a gtalk [video/wifi/cam switcher] custom app that really works on the Incredible S?
BTW: Im using Virtuous 2.37 Rom.
Thanks for answers.
Am using the default 'talk' app in virtuous unity 2.37.
seems to be no problem here!
i did have trouble in MIUI rom, but nothing with VU.
has this been persistent?
otherwise i would suspect faulty network
And video call works on yours? Can u see and hear the other person? Can the other person hear and see you? Is your front cam flipped to 90 degrees? Can you switch between front and rear cam?
Sorry for so many questions . I'm just pissed that my gtalk doesn't work properly.
Thxs.

I did a full wipe and installed the new VU 2.39.
Talk works fine, only that the front cam is flipped on 90°.
Is there a patch or something? maybe this framework-res or something like that? i dont know what else to try.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

lol. i understand your frustration.
but everything works fine. i can hear and see the other person and they can hear and see me too.
the image is quite right, not flipped
am sorry you having these issues!
since you have wiped and re-flashed, you could probably try uninstalling the 'talk' app & then download and re-install from the market.
maybe that would work
So I see when you use zoe it takes 20 stills and 3 second video.
I can't seem to find the stills on my phone. When I plug it in to my pc they show up but I really don't want 100s of stills to manage so is there and easy way ::,,

hmm... when you find out please let me know. . .
The phone gallery is clever enough to know they are Zoe's, and will hide the individual files.
Use something like ES File Explorer, they are all in /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA.
Gallery not clever enough to not sync over 2000 zoes to dropbox !!

I don't think it's the gallery problem. Dropbox just has no idea what a zoe is.
My best bet is to complaint it to HTC. They should have known from the start that zoe shots are gonna clutter everything. I know that they are trying to stick with the DCIM rule but this isn't just userfriendly anymore.
I and a couple of other people already mailed them and complaint and suggested a workaround. You can mail them too so they might consider our suggestion.
Just tell them that zoe sucks and is cluttering your gallery and suggest to them to just pack the zoe shots into a single archive file like a zip or whatever to organize them.
Totally agree. Something htc should have thought of. Shame they couldn't of worked with dropbox on this one.

So I'm looking for a apk that will work on my xz2 without any rooting etc one like the pixel 2 one with all the features or even the p20 one would be great. The ones I have tried either dont open properly or cradnn or just don't work properly. Thanks in advance
