I think I may have sorted the poor camera quality issue with the Alpine. If you are cooking your own ROM, don't include the camera patch. I just removed it and the picture quality is like the xda 2 now - much better.
Let me know if it works for you.
Did you do this in your cooked rom?
Just worked it out.
Will get the ROMs edited over the next few days.
One thing I was wondering was how are these "patches" detrimentally affecting the Alpines? That's something for me to look at over the next few days in work with nothing to do.
Will post the ROMs again over the weekend sometime.
I'll also see if I can post a quick fix in the meantime.
I'm looking forward to see the rom... Actually, if there is any fix without installing an updated rom would be better...
Thanks a lot for the effort.
Just had a look at the windows\camera_sensor1.dll file which is the offending file and I can't seem to copy the original one off the device so a quick fix won't be possible at the moment sorry. I'll post the updated ROM soon.
Hi pug,
Will you modify 1.11.162 1.04 radio versiyon ROM or the other one without the O2 crap?
Actually if it is not a burden, a camera fixed version of both ROM's would be great!
Thanks alot...
thanks ..can't wait to get shot of the 02 rubbish ,will save ages waiting for that stuff to load
OK people, uploading the modified ROMs here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Alpine/O2_Roms__Camera_Fixed_Pug/
I've also added extra BT profiles thanks to someone on this site, sorry, can't remember who.
A special thanks goes out to Bal666 and Itsme for all the help and the software to allow me to help others out really easily.....you guys are Gods.
Many thanks to all out there for your understanding, support and feedback.
Pug.
Sorry for being thick but why are there 2 different ones?
Thanks Pug.

One has the O2 crap stripped out, the other has it still in. :lol:
Please help with this... Run this upgrade and now the phone speaker doesn't seem to work !
Apologies.... Double posted in error !!!!
Thank you for your time.
Ok... Any clues ???
Just ran upgrade from O2 website and speaker/mic still doesn't appear to work within phone calls... Could upgrading damage these ? Is there anything that is residual and could be left on XDA after an up(/down)grade ???
Are you running off Pug's camera-fixed ROM, or have you reverted to his previous .169 with 1.04 radio with the default camera?
Was running on Pug's camera fixed ROM but when found had problem reverted to the latest ROM direct from O2... And still have the problem...
When you look at the "volume slider" is it at the bottom? I had a similar problem with mine a while ago when I had upgraded to the 169 rom, It seemed to happen if I was loading up the BT tools programme that gives added profiles in BT manager, even when I went back to 162 I still had the problem, even though it worked fine before the upgrade!!
The one without the O2 crap is perfectly working for me so far.
Could someone post picture before and after fixing camera?
I want to see the results!
Thanks!

anyone else have any problem with the camera,
it is really good picture at day, but in shadows or dark spots it is really poor
i have turned up the settings to see if that works and it does not...
My Magician phone had a better camera that this one,,,
marc
the camera is pants - not much you can do about it
Camera Patch is available
Mine used to be like that with the original MDA Vario ROM - You just need to upgrade the rom or find the camera fix patch. Its a cab file you just run.. its on these forums anyway.. somewhere
hey,
im having same problem. I found an MDA vario extended rom, which had a file called Signed_TMO_CameraDriverPatch.sa.CAB. Tried it but with no luck, Would really like to know what rom and patch you installed to get the camera to become better

The ROM I Used fixed my camera problem.
If you go to this link ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/ go to the ROMS link, than the T-Mobile link and download the entire RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe ROM, I am sure it was this one that fixed my camera issue. As you can see it wipes out your phone contents. I had upgraded to this one and all was ok. Subsequently I have changed to the QTEK ROM and this one is brilliant.. everything is faster and more efficient.. I skipped the extended ROM install and it all went very well. I will search for this reccomended ROM and post it here
Re: The ROM I Used fixed my camera problem.
that FTP server won't let me connect (using forum creds) ... i am looking for the camera update and anything else interesting ...
any suggestions?
*UPDATE* i found a valid link [ftp://xda:[email protected]] to the FTP server and found the file. although i cannot find out if/how to extract the single update from that large (nk.nbf) file.
basically based on the specs below is there anything i can do to improve the camera picture quality?
ROM Ver: 1.8.11.1 WWE
Rome Date: 11/24/2005
Radio Ver: 01.09.11

Link with Password embeded
I found this thread useful http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40458&highlight=ruu+prodigy+wwe It was this ROM I upgraded too, Camera and general operation of the phone is far better. things to note about this build tho..
1. I cant access Call History directly any more via a single link, I have to go through the phone application, where there is a call history button.
2. You get Windows default phone pad (much better if you ask me)
3. WiFi, stability, and general performance is marginally better
I installed the RUU_Prodigy_2080701_101_11310_Qtek_WWE_Test.exe, but I can see on the ftp site there is a ship version
Camera
Have you tried the option to set the camera to night. It's on the screen bottom right corner when you go to camera. It seems to be a lot better with this setting - at night!
Unfortunately your shutter time becomes quite long as well Mind you, this really applies to pretty much all digital cameras other than top of the line dSLRs.
Can i just ask - can you upgrade the rom on an o2 xda mini to any of the roms that are stored on there?
thanks
i tried the Snowfix.cab file that comes with the Magician, and it made the picture a slightly bit clearer, but did not make it brighter
anyone else tried anything
also, does anyone have the wizard working with perfect camera....
Does anyone know of anyone successfully extracting, the apparently improved, A2DP BT stack from AKU3.2 for use on the Prophet?
Thanks to this forum, the particularly the ROM updates (LVSW 2.3 currently although I haven’t tried Jester’s yet) my Prophet is running superbly. I just wish the A2DP quality with my iTech S38 was equal to that on my old Magician. I’ve tried the SampleRate and BitPool registry tweaks with minimal success – still very apparent ringing and muddiness to the sound :-(
I guess this is effectively a plea to LVSW and Jester since my searches to-date have drawn a blank and my current skills certainly aren't up to extracting it…
Thanks in advance

I will have a look, but at first glance the a2dp files from 2.3 and 3.2 look the same.
Thanks Jesterz, that would be most appreciated. Any new information would be useful.
On a more general note how is your AKU3.2 ROM coming along. Is there anything we can do to help?
Regards
Jeff
To explain I'm pinning my hopes on better A2DP based on a previously referenced article:
http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/articles/wm-aku-en.shtml - AKU3.0 "Bluetooth connectivity has gotten enhanced as well: from now on it supports FTP profile, better handles A2DP, whose quality gave rise to criticism lately."
Jesterz,
Any time frames on when your complete "clean" AKU3.2 ROM will become available for testing?
Regards
Jeff

as soon as I "unbrick" my G3 (working on it now) i will have both a G3 and a G4 for testing this ROM, right now i run an internal beta on my own G4, it's ok, however as has been mentioned before on these forums, there is stuff missing from the ROM, for example, the bluetooth FTP is missing.
please remember that my rom is basicly the pdamobiz 3.2 ROM, however, taken out ALL the "junk" software, and I'm now trying to piece together which drivers/programs should be in the ROM, it's a lot of work.
What I would probably do, is fine an HTC device that has an official AKU 3.x ROM, rip it and compair,move over software.
drivers will be a problem, as they have to be for the prophet, but I can maybe use the 2.2 ones, I don't know yet
In any case, I'm learning as I go along and hope to have a public beta out soon.
AKU 3.3
Jesterz, could you take a look to see if there are new A2DP files in the AKU3.3 ROM, please?
The usual three suspects - Avrcp_MPplugin.dll, bta2dp.dll and sbc.dll.
Thanks!

They SEEM newer, however, please be reminded that these drivers come from a totally different device.
right now I can't even boot the AKU3.3, i'm still moving drivers around.
I'm running AKU 3.2 in my Universal and noticed the A2DP sound quality is the same, not better in anyway compared to my Prophet which is running AKU 2.3.
lie_ui
Well, AKU 3.3 comes from a device that uses an OMAP-750, so it's pretty close.
And I really do hope they fixed the BT sound problem in AKU 3.3. MS should be aware of the issue by now.
How do you install the files?
So I was able to extract the files from AKU 3.3 (!!!), but how do you install them? Have to use a CAB file? Or I register the DLLs???
Edit: Hmmm... looks like I need the cert file to make it work, like with the Tornado A2DP patch. Anyone know how to get it?
please delete this post - for some unknown reason I can not.
"So I was able to extract the files from AKU 3.3 (!!!)"
Hi Joe,
You just paste those Dll's into your Windows folder.
Would you please be so kind as to post the 3 files.
I am trying to get this working on my samsung and
the tornado patch won't work. (it allmost does, I get
everything but the "set as wireless stereo" option.)
I am also wondering if the cert cab worked for you.
Thanks,
I tried copying the files, but they didn't work. I don't think they loaded. When I used MortPlayer, the pop up came up asking if I would allow the AVCRP dll to load. Never got prompted for the other two files, so no go.
I tried signing the files (using and installing the test cert from one of the threads), tried putting it in a cab file, then tried both together, and nothing worked.
Maybe simply extracting the files isn't enough? I dunno... can't duplicate how the Tornado A2DP patch was made. Help, please!
I dunno what's the point posting up the files, since they don't work. But if you guys really want 'em, I'll put them on the FTP site (if I'm allowed to).
Please upload the files as I would still like to see if the make a difference on my device.
Thanks.
Here ya go...
Just be careful not to brick your machine.
Thanks joe,
Tried them on my device with some luck.
I did not get the errors I've gotten with every other bluetooth hack posted in this forum.
That said, I still don't get the option to "set as wireless stereo"
every thing else works just fine.

Well, I updated these three files... machine is alive but, unfortunately A2DP-headset doesn't work now
With new dll's I can't connect my headset to my S200.
I've rollback to TrnadoA2DP hack.
Well, I've finally managed to installed A2DP from AKU 3.3.
It's stable, but the bad news is that it is just as bad as the AKU 2 version. Same odd distortion... no discernable improvement.
It took a lot of steps to get it installed. I'm not gonna go into it... I don't feel like writing an essay at this point.
I'll post up the cab files later (tomorrow?) for those who want to try it. I don't recommend installing them, since it's a hack job that offers no improvements. But I think there are probably a few people as crazy as me who would anyway.
I'm still baffled why dopod won't release a rom for this A2DP.... :angry:
Hi,
I just got my hermes back from being repaired. They had to change the whole board inside and thus there is a new (Chinese!) rom on it. I need to install an English ROM again as well as change the keyboard layout (what fun!).
Can anyone tell me which ROM seems to have the least problems right now? I looked through a number of threads but its hard when they are 10+ pages each.
Thanks in advance.
I found LSV's WM6 was heaps heaps faster than other roms I've used in the past....navigating on it felt very quick and responsive.
Only problem I had with it was I had to apply the ATI fix from a thread Slueth posted to resolve. I found the ATI bux only affected the mediaplaying program Coreplayer. And I also had to apply Slueth's A2DP fix as well...after that perfect skip free music from both bitpool set to 30 and 48 (can be set by TweakUI in Start->settings->system->TweakUI).
Can anyone help me out with a recommendation?
Use LVSW
See my signature for the link, but it is the BEST one out there, VERY stable, excellent battery life, etc, etc
I think the best ROM is Black 2.5... no wait it's Custel... hmmmm maybe I'm wrong and want to vote for LVSW or even wait for Kyphur to re-surface (sorry I nearly forgot my favourite Dutty).....
Oops, Chinese alcohol taking over brain, but seriously, no one can really answer this. The people who think XXXX is the best rom do so because it is the best for them - works well with their radio, applications, service provider, Hermes variant etc etc.
The only way to find out is to try them AND try for a few days at least to get a real feel for the stability based on your own useage.
Personally I've now stuck with the LVSW rom for a while (on a UK vodafone VPA1605). I guess that you may have an X01HT because of the Chinese rom and I've just read that some other user had problems with this rom on his X01HT - so even there I can't recommend something which works so well for me.
BUT, have lots of fun trying them all - I did.

Touch-IT Black Leo HD2 - v4.0
I am removing my roms due to conflicts with certain members at xda, this looks like it cant be solved in normal ways. And because I do not want anymore of the bickering and fighting, I am pulling my work from XDA and all support is moved to you know where. I cant even mention that name anymore here.
Sorry to see this happen here, where I have learned so much, and met so many wonderful ppl. I can only quote my own sig:

The Core Player is working fine for me.
ops, coreplayer should not be in there, gotta recook and up again. (coreplayer needs edit in settings to work though, set video output to GDI)
Use radio 2.06 with this rom, that will give best results
I have used this rom heavily past few days, and had no lockups whatsoever.
The build is released with ce os 5.2.23515 (build 23518.5.5.0) check this in settings/system/About I know that in (manila)settings/about phone/software info, it say 23515. This is just the way this build was leaked out, and it really dont matter. The OS is 23518 as I said

Great release itje.
The ROM feels smooth and stable. But not as fast, I'm talking specific to scrolling in cntacts, etc.
The only small consmetic issue I see is, While in lock screen, The Time that shows up... The digits for the seconds are cut off on the top. Really strange though....
This is a keeper for me until something better comes up

Hm, weird, scrolling in contacts is very fast for me.
in lockscreen I have no issues, (besides that calendar icons that shows up in theese builds) here is mine right now:
I should have specified. I use a cab where the Silde to lock comes to the bottom of the screen and the Time goes on top of the screen.
Below is the screen shot, Look at the #2, you would notice better. Again, probably to do with the CAB, but I did not see this in anyother ROM.
Please dont get me wrong... not a big deal at all...

Hello dear HTC Leo Community
i'm facing a really annoying problem and so far the google results didn0t give me an answer.
Does anybode has the same problem or had the same Problem and know how to fix it?
The Thumbnails in my HTC Album are shown very very very crappy
i still have the original rom installed.
if i click on the pictures the quality in fullscreen is normal but all my thumbs are really ****ed up
would be glad if someone knows whats to do i already searched the registry but ididn't found something which is pointing on this setting
thanks in advance
cheers rob
You must install the official camera patch provided by HTC on their site. It will fix the thumbnail preview as well.
Or update your ROM to the latest one as this includes the hotfixes...
i now installed the hotfix and it didn't work the thumbnails in my htc album are still the same
has anybody eventually the correct link with the file i'm not sure if i picked the right one.
and another question, when i update my rom what happens woth the software like cookie home tab or these things?
thanks and cheers
rob
When flashing a new ROM, stock or otherwise, it'll wipe all programs/apps on the device so either back them up or remember how you set it up in the first place
so i don't want to flash the rom
cuz most of the apps i isntalled on the storage card but all shortcuts will be gone
the rest i yould easily backup
can you please post the link to the correct htc album patch? i didn't found it
would be very nice
thank you and cheers

hotfix does not correct old thumbnails.
after hotfix, all new thumbnails will look perfect.
Hotfix is out 3 months now, why did you not applyed it till now?
Hi!
Does this also fix the crappy quality of the pictures in picture contacts?
The faces have a very poor quality (pixellation, not defined) although the source pictures have an excellent quality and are big.
Thanks!
because i've got the phone only 2 weeks
but thanks for the information then i clearly will aplly the patch again
thanks for the information =)
cheerio
ps: can i change the setting that i can switch the musicsongs with the vol up and down buttons?
all the time when i want to switch song i have to get the phone out my cover then unlock and then go to the music tab
and another issue
is it possible to configure the device, so it wont stop the song playing when you disconnect the jack?
hello community
i now applied the patch
and the pictures seems to be a little bit better, but still not shown absolute correct in the thumnails
before it was really poor in quality means you could saw some pixels and no clean transition
now i can remark some stripe pixels its really weird but i will keep an eye on it
thanks anyway
