[XAP/Source] Alternative Camera: WP7HD2nCamt continued again, working on v2.0 - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps

Alternative Camera for WP7HD2
We all know that the autofocus of the camera of the DFT WP7 release does not work correctly. As already pointed out here one can switch to the camcorder in order to focus and switch back to the camera to trake a picture which is more or less in focus.
This workaround works pretty well, but I am just to lazy to always switch forth and back to take a picture. Therefore I tried to build a new camera application for the WP7HD2 where the autofocus is working.
Another Working Camera for HD2 With full resolution by Sergey_H
[XAP] SHCameraApp - camera for HD2 with full resolution and auto-focus from Sergey_H
Sergey_H released a fully working camera application with full resolution. So my try will end here I guess since my initial goal was to have a camera application with full resolution, which is available now. However, if anyone wants to continue on my approach, I released the source, see below.

Update Information:
I started to continue with my approach since the design of Sergey_H's release is just not according to my taste (sorry Sergey_H ) but otherwise his release is just great. Also, dont expect anything better from my releases than his release, more, i think my releases will take longer and will be quite buggy for a long time. But if you have anohter great idea or know how to do things better, below is a link to my source code. I just ask in return, that you share you improvements if you use parts of my code.

Problems - Solutions
Problem 1, arkatis in Post #16: The latest version doesn't wok for me... I press to take a shot and then the app crashes to Home screen!
Solution 1, georo in Post #20: It is because you still connected to the PC. Was doing same thing on me but I disconnected and now working great.
Problem 2: Can you disable the shutter sound when taking an image?
Solution 2: Yes and no. Till now i found not pogrammable way to disable this sound but there is a half way solution: Change the Registry value below to 0, and then the shutter sound will follow the overall volume setting. Meaning, that when you mute your phone, the shutter sound is also muted
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Audio\StreamClass\Output\10]
"BypassDeviceGain"=dword:0
For more info see: WP7 Registry tweak

General Remarks
You wont see the picture when pressing the button, but it Taken pictures are shown on screen, when taping screen, it goes back to camera mode. the pictures will be saved in the album "Saved Pictures" for versions 1.X and in "CameraRoll" library for versions 2.X.
As always with making pictures, the steadier you hold the camera, the better the quality. In the attached pictures you can see the difference between the stock (right) and my alternative camera (left).
After pressing the camera soft button on the screen, it takes quite a long time untill the taken image is shown on the screen (not sure how to speed it up). But nonetheless, the taken image is from the time/frame when you pressed the button.
This is a beta build, and I am not sure when or how fast I can make an update. Thoughts are always welcome. But if you cant wait and want to build your own improved version, try it yourselfs -> see Credits.

Project Source:
Since I have almost no exerience in programming and just started, I decided to move the project to opensource. My guess is, that there are more experienced programmers here, who can push this project further to a fully working alternative Camera for our HD2 than I can by myself.

Wow, works really well for the beginning. I can't wait for the next update ...

Wow...did you know about mirror efekt?
Take the hd2 to photo mode but not to left side but right...if you have it the camera button is in the top left side, the virtual button on right..and the camera make mirror mode

outstanding....

Resolution is really bad... Did you create this app? Can i have permissions to edit the file????

I can't take any pics, camera button (hardware and on-screen) doesnt do anything...

With this app you cannot take any picture susing the "hardware" button of the phone. The on-screen button should work, but it takes normaly some time to save the image. Hopefully by tonight or tomorrow I will upload an improved version including a post-view of taken image.

Working on it! thanks

added a new improved version, but still beta

Wow!! I luv u man. I always switched to android when i had to take pics, but with this I guess, that is not an issue. Thanks. Cant wait.

Nice, I can't wait for the full resolution version
I found a little spelling error by the way!
It should say "Tap screen to continue...", not "tab..."

Nice app... thanks for working on our camera problem.

very cool

New version out, fix of rotation. Problem of program-exit when returning from library still not fixed tho doesnt happen that often anymore. Seems a deeper problem, my guess is that it has something to do with the initialization of camera in the beginning, will look into it when I have more time and especially more knowlege .

Excellent, I never thought I'd see CyanogenMod on the Legend
I'd love to try it if only the camera wasn't broken......
Great. Downloading.......
is the volume key long-press working to change tracks in the audio player, as in the Cyanogen ROMs?
Looks fine so far. Thx for sharing.
One thing that does not work for me is Cardiotrainer from Market. When i try to start workout, it FC. Same problem with vanilla bean. The app works fine on all other roms and also on my magic with Cyangenmod 5.0.7DS.
For those that want camera i can recommend Vignette, it works perfectly.
It costs some money but its totally worth it since you can add effects and lots of other stuff.
can you take pictures ?
this are very great news! Thank you ali ba for your awesome work!
Looks like I have the same sync problems as in vanilla bean. I get no mails pushed. Have have to make a manual refresh .
is it possible just to have the lockscreen as an app?
Is it possbile to use metamorth in this rom?

Stock camera app does work with this release. Issues are 5MP and zoom. Besides that you can take pictures and videos. And playback videos, which is an issue with Vanilla Bean.

Sorry to hear that. I can sync right out of the box after providing my Google credentials. I changed some contact info in Google contacts and saw the changes nearly immediately on my phone.

No. The Lockscreen is part of the framework. Replace the responsible class and the HTC apps will be broken. There were efforts to provide a vanilla-like lockscreen for HTC, don't know whether they succeeded. This is the wrong thread nevertheless for such a request.

You don't have write access to /system, so you'll always have to get into recovery mode.
Thanks for this image!
Has soneone found a way to install it with rom manager. flash clockworkmod recovery fails on my legend. Or is there another way to backup my original rooted rom before flashing this one?
Just an idea, have you tried contacting the CyanogenMod team and maybe submit some patches to make an official CyanogenMod version for the Legend? AFAIK the same has been done with the Desire recently, using contributor patches.
EDIT: I also presume they'd be able to help you with the camera problem.

Does vignette use the full 5mp of the Legend? The problem with camera app is the resolution.... it feels kind wasted having paid for a 5MP camera and not being able to fully utilise it.
You just made me realize that I simply have to root. I've gotta have this!

Yepp, it uses 5MP, you can actually choose from a list what MP you want.
rom is working great. again good work!
you know if the htc keyboard should be included? for some reason i have the default android 2 times
@schpinn:
I'm maybe going to do that.
The problem we face is that the hardware is fundamentally different to the Desire, whereas Desire and Nexus mostly share the same drivers.

[FIX] Possible fix for CM 6.1 Camera FC issues-MERGED 20101122

The fix below has been merged into the nightlies!! expect to see it on the 23rd.
If you're impatient, you can install a compiled version of the apk from recovery...
---------------
The camera issue is for ALL of cyanogenmod, not just us dinc users.
I've grabbed some of the patches that are being worked on and put some of my own work into it.
Please let me know what you find.
For me, it crashes almost every single time if I use continuous focus, but it's fine with infinity.
Screen off and on works without FC, but the camera is hard coded to not allow recording with screen off.
1. Backup
2. Flash aosp-camera-fix-v1.0.zip
3. reboot..
flashed
Just flashed, off to a meeting but will report back shortly. I would love to be able to shoot video in 720.
in to see the responses
no issues
No FC in continuous or infinity mode. Shot about 10 minutes of video in both. Screen off then on kills recording. Still no 720p recording mode though (not that this was supposed to fix that, I was just hoping).
Recap: No camera/video FC in either mode (continuous or infinity)
Thanks for this
...
To get 720 p.. Make sure quality is set to custom and file type is mpeg4, then it should show up in the settings.
Someone alert camalus!
I will be flashing this after work today! Thank you!!!

hi seanzer. on cm nightly build #161 - issue: when on videocam, and i turn off the screen (recording or not), when you unlock, the videocam becomes almost half the size of the screen (with the preview screen almost a quarter the size, and is now on the lower left), and it's unresponsive.

Same thing happened on my friends moto Droid 1.. i think the latest commit to the camera broke it. Try a nightly before the 24th... which only contains my camera fix. I haven't had time to test the latest nightly yet, but I will have to investigate more what happened..

anyone know? is this the same with all aosp roms?.. the camera just isn't as good as the htc cam.
Fixed my Nexus One
Installed on CM 6.1 on a Nexus One, fixed the camera for photos, haven't tested the videos.
Symptoms: Camera keeps crashing after a few shots. Force Close the application and if I tried to run it I only got a blackscreen until the Force Close window appeared.
It also rebooted my phone one 2 occasions.
Installed using Rom Manager:
Install from SD
Selected .zip
Backup Rom (Yes)
Wipe (NO!!!)
Everything went smooth.
Now I'm taking pictures, modifying settings, Touch Focus, everything seems to work.
Took 20 pictures in a row and fast.
Thanks for the fix
I had high expectations on this one, I tried it but I still get FC on the camera.
I have a Magic and I am running the CM 6.1 Rom

If you look at the resolution of the 8mp wide setting on the stock sense camera, it's not actually 8mp. It's really the same as 6mp wide on the CM camera.

*Potentially Working* Google Camera port

Edit: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579482902
Remember to activate camera2 API before trying the app.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act=search&source=pst&noform=1&username=B-S-G
It appears bsg have release an ARM32 apk of an older version of Google Camera HDR. Should work on the G5Plus. Can't access the link to download though.
anyone able to help?
Focus doesn't seem to work
HDR+ port by defcomk
Here is something that works for me:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4UT4dU4LpjJZFZnbGJ1TXVJN2c/view?usp=sharing
Make sure CAM2 API is enabled.
If you are on stock ROM it can be done by adding this line to build.prop:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
If on a custom nougat ROM use this module: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4UT4dU4LpjJRWY1dzBBUTdHbm8
If on Oreo custom ROM, cam2 is enabled by default.
To use the camera it follow these steps:
1) Open the app, change video resolution of back camera to 4K (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
2) On the camera menu you'll notice it's not focusing, so switch to video mode by swiping left on the screen.
3) In video mode tap on the subject you are shooting to focus on it. ( May need to be tapped more than once, Zooming in with two swipe finger gesture helps to get perfect focus)
4) After you are happy with the focus switch to photo mode by swiping right, this will maintain the focus that was set in video mode, if not repeat step 3.
5) Do NOT press shutter yet. Lock AE/AF before taking shot by long pressing on the finger to form a circle on the screen. (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
6) After you have long pressed, take the photo. A circle will be shown which takes 30 shots in one second.
7) Shutter will be grayed out until the photo is processed which happens in the background, you can check progress by taping the thumbnail.
8) You can take as many shots you like with the present focus lock, also repeat the from step 3 for changing focus.
That's it

I created a 4dpa account by using this guide to solve the captcha and I managed to install the apk. I found out it wasn't working as well as defcomk's port cause it couldn't auto-focus lock the image. The only new thing I saw was it supported raw image capture

WOW!! I thought the Google camera HDR+ was all hype. I had HDR+ on my Nexus 5 but apparently that was the old version not using the new API. I thought that took pretty good pictures but this new one on this phone is incredible. Every single thing I tried, every camera mod I could find, on any ROM other than stock, every picture looked over softened and blurry, or super grainy and still kind of blurry. Now it looks better than stock, impressively so. The color balance, focus, and sharpness is top notch. Amazing what a change in software can do to a piece of hardware.
A quick tip for people, the camera opens up with the focus set at infinite so if you take a picture of something 5ft+ away, there's no need to swipe to the video to focus. Just open the camera, long press to hold focus, and snap the picture. The camera also works in 16:9 if that's your thing.
Edit: open camera is finicky for videos, giving me reboots. Use Footej camera for quick non HD photos and videos.
Edit2: After messing around with it a bit more, it's not the just HDR+ that makes the pictures so much better, it's the new camera API. Install and use it with any camera app supporting camera2 API and the photos are much better all around.
Thanks a ton for posting this, both you, and OP.

Some minor diffenence in settings.
Not all settings work, have to try some times.
My observations so far are that Gcam images look more organic and with much less artifacts than the stock camera, jpg files are also bigger with more information and hold up to editing better than the ones from the stock camera. The port is definitely worth it and I hope M-rom keeps working on it.
I can't get regular photos to work with either apk. Video works, photos w/front camera work, but can't get rear camera to work. Any tips?
No idea, both versions work for photos for me (on one of them portrait mode doesn't start). I use both.
Can anyone post comparison photos between Gcam and original ?
Portrait mode doesn't work with portrait camera.

Maybe you can check if you turned the "raw+jpg" on or not. I tried this before and it won't work. Turned off then rear camera worked.

Gcam

I've tried quite a few gcam ports and I've found this version to be the best. The only issue I've found is the preview image freezes when using selfie night mode. It still takes a picture ok just the preview image freezes. It seems to be a common issue across all the ports I've tried.

Yep, been using this one also. Big improvement over the stock camera app!
Default app likes to just mesh colours together and makes it look pretty bad and blurry, but this port makes photos have much more detail.
I've just tried the Parrot043_v7 version and can confirm that night mode using selfie camera works perfectly on this one. There are a lot more options in the settings menu also regarding white balance and astrophotography etc.

Strange, I tried using that but the front camera night mode just froze. It still takes a photo, but it freezes after you choose that mode.
I swapped to this one, doesn't have the fancy features in the one you linked but it seems to work https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_7.3.020_v1.2_TlnNeun.apk

Yes you are right, it does still freeze. It's really strange, in good lighting the front camera won't freeze when switched into night mode which is why I thought it worked, I was in a lit room at the time. If the environment is darker, the front camera preview still freezes like it always did.
Does the GCAM port give you the option of 1080/60fps for video?
I don't have the phone yet so am not even sure what the stock camera app options are.
Thanks

Well, the port I use does have a 60fps option, but the actual video itself doesn't look that smooth.
I'm sure another port will pop up soon enough with proper support (as this one has the option to enable 4k, but really it bumps it up from 720p to 1080p).
Thanks for that, it's good to know as I purchased it online assuming it would have the capability.
I was looking at other phones with the 665 SOC like the Xiaomi Note 8t and that has the 1080/60fps option in the stock camera app whereas Oppo doesn't for some reason.

I just checked the Oppo website and it doesn't look like the camera supports 60fps https://www.oppo.com/au/smartphone-a52/specs/
Although not sure if a Gcam port can "enable" it down the track.
I realised that after I purchased it of course
The Xiaomi Note 8t added 60fps after an update so it wasn't there initially either, maybe Oppo will do the same.
GCAM sounds way better anyway so hopefully the 60fps smoothness issue gets sorted.

Haha, such is the nature of the bargain priced beast, too good to pass up so you buy it on a whim!
But yes I'm sure there'll be a Gcam port popping up to solve the issue soon enough.
Plus it launched with Android 10, bound to be updated like the Xiaomi
I believe this port works best along with Mar 2020 config file which is also in the config folder
although it's not the most recent, it's most compatible, feel free to tweak settings according to your preference if anything breaks just load the xml file.

use the mar 2020 configuration file, the only bug with this is in slo mo videos where if you do 1/8 mode, it may not work properly so you have to stop recording and restart recording then it works.
all other ports have white dot (luma) noise on front cam and fixing it by library tweaks makes textures loose detail and sharpness, and view finder hangs in certain modes.

This one looks a bit nicer than the one I've been using, pictures seem less dull, thanks!

Thank you! I have successfully decrypted with ikskoks's tool and Skyth's key.
Now I'm searching for the way to encrypt after editing the video
