Is this what you are looking for?

that version is still slow videorendering...
Thanks, it seemed to help out alot in brighter areas but the dark places are still slow... its no problem to me ill just use a dig camera if I need a dark pic... thank you =D
A trick I picked up here with the "new" driver was to turn the camera on. After it comes up, press the power button to put the phone in "sleep" mode. Hold your hand over the camera lens, wake up the phone with the power button, wait 5 seconds and see if the frame rate is a little faster. Goofy trick, but it seems to work.

i found this trick a long while ago. it does seem to work but i dont think it has anything to do with the htc-ca or omnia drivers so even if you dont have them installed, it will work.
I'm using the Laurentius26 V10 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416278 ) cooked ROM with the HTCA drivers ( see http://www.htcclassaction.org ) and the camera is performing extremely well. There is no evidence of any lag when there is sufficient light available, it seems to still take a performance hit when it has to compensate.

ps. that trick that p51d007 suggested is completely bizarre! Even the lag with close up or darkness goes away.
i am using the hyperdragon iiir lite rom with the (recomended) radio 1.65.24.36
and the omnia 3d driver installed in it
and video acceleration is perfect!!
a small improovement i have see also in camera
From my point of view... the camera gets SLOW whenever it has to increase exposure to compensate for the dark areas. The power button somehow fixes te exposure... or disables it.
Point is.. although being 3.0 MP...camera quality is nothing like a 3.0 real photographic camera. So... my question is...
Would picture quality get that worse... if the camera would always shoot with a fixed (lets say 1.0) exposure... and then increase the brightness of the picture via software ?
And to be REALLY bold... and please realize that i'm sugesting with virtually or really NO KNOWLEDGE ... 3D graphics can have its gamma controled... at least in a normal computer... how about showing the camera image on a D3D or OGLES texture... and increasing it "exposure" via gamma control ?
(Am i nuts?)
Yeah that trick works, but the picture is darker and a lot grainier. Also if you point the camera to a bright light source, it "resets" and then when you point at dark areas again, it lags. That trick seems to "initalize" the camera to a dark setting, for lack of a better phrase.

Damn, you're right, it resets when you point it at a bright source...I was all excited for a minute, too...
I wonder if there is a way to make the camera behave that way all the time? I snapped a picture with the trick active and it came out pretty good.
Here's my question, is there a way, to make the camera flash to use the normal light, and not the bright, when taking a picture, but in the same time, if a select it, to use the bright. It'll be usefull, because the bright flash makes things blurry or too bright when shooting from a close distance. If a want to take a picture of a business card (for OCR) I have to use separate light source, because the flash is too bright and makes it unreadable, and the normal flash is enaugh for the purpouse.
I too was interested in this idea about a month back. It would be very useful to take the photo with the standard flash light rather than the super bright flash. As it is this level that you focus the photo and expect it to be at, only to sadly recieve a horribly over flashed photo.
agreed...^^
What would really be awesome with the camera would be the ability to disable the light sensor. That way, in low light the FPS doesnt go to crap leaving us with blurry pictures. Also, the flash doing what a real flash does, being flash instead of stay on...
As for the normal light and not bright, hTorch has a toggle to go between both, we just need to see if there is a reg key or something to just enable the light without it going to bright mode for the actual shot.
There are a few other threads that talk about the camera reg settings, i just forget where.
Is it possible to minimize camera soft on xperia, and continue to record?
Or is it possible to at least turn off display while recording is in progress? (power button which according to manual should turn off display, turns off recording too).
Maybe there is some 3rd party soft that allows you to do this?
TIA Marek.
another "spycam"?
Something like that.
But also thing to use, when you want to record something really long. My card is enough large to fit almost 10h video there. When screen is on, battery would be dead in less then half of this time, and phone may get pretty warm when back-light is on for such a long time.
Hi guys
I always think the panoroma mode in camera mode is hard to use. It need holding steady and slowly move to take three photo succesully. I think it should support 360 degree shot instead of 3 photo taken. What you guys think?
Trying to figure out it I have an issue with my phone or I am simply missing something somewhere. When I try to take a picture with my Turbo in low light, the flash comes on, it focuses and then the flash turns off right before the picture is captured leaving me with a completely black picture. I have changed various setting (HDR, changing the Flash between Auto and On, etc) with no luck. Has anyone else had this issue?
