I have successfully removed the camera from my Vogue but I want to do more than just have it physically removed. I also need to remove the camera "software" from the pictues and video viewer. If I click on the camera by mistake, it locks up the phone since it can't find it. I figure it will require registry hacks but I don't know where to begin. Any help would be great. You can track my progress here.

map the camera button to some other function... Start-->Settings-->Buttons and then pick another function, e.g., <OK/CLose>.
um... not what I meant. I have remapped the hardware buttons. I mean in the software. The photo and video viewer itself. When you open up the photo viewer, there is a picture of a camera. As we all have done, we fat finger sometimes and push the wrong thing. If I save a picture someone sends me which I save and I want to look at it I must use the photo viewer. If I hit the little camera icon, my phone locks up because it can't find the camera and I have to reset. Too anoying. I need a fix for that.
got it.... maybe one of the "xda chefs" here can help you out.
That is what I am hoping for.
curious why the removal of the camera?
Required by work and I am not giving up the phone

Please tell me you took some high res pictures of the component side of the board. =) Over on the Titan forum we have been trying to figure out if its possible to do a 128meg upgrade,but we are at a roadblock. We hope that knowing what ram chip the Vogue uses will be helpful to us,but the only pictures we are able to find of it are of too low a resolution to help.

Sorry I didn't
Does anyone geo-tag their HD photos? I can't find a way to enable it in camera settings.
I had to download an app to enable it on my TyTNII.
Can't find anything by searching this forum or Googling
You can enable it with HDTweak, as far as i remember
Brilliant! Thanks
I have enabled the option in HD Tweak, and have even tried Shozu and locr, but even with a GPS lock, it doesn't seem to save the GPS data to the photo.
I'm using the Orange ROM, and don't really want to reflash it just to make this work with the hacked footprints tab, so has anyone got any ideas?
TIA
My problem is GPS doesn't start.
I've been using the free GPSToday (www.geoterrestrial.com) and their GeoTagger plugin which monitors your photo directory. When it sees a new file it tries to get a GPS fix and then embeds the location in the file. So far it's worked flawlessly.
Can you try uploading one of the photos it's tagged too google picasa to see if it can see the gps data and map the piccy please?
So far, these things tell me they are tagging them, but when you upload them, it's not tagged.
locr and shozu both work flawlessly on my N95, so I know the platforms and google picasa work.
I attached a GPS photo taken with my HD (bike trip with my girlfriend ) with the 'GPS-photo' option. I'm absolutly sure it has GPS info in it, because I upload all my pictures to Flickr, where they automaticly show up on the map at the right location. Good luck
*EDIT* When uploading a photo as attacment to the XDA forum, all GPS data is stripped. So here's a direct link to download the original file:
http://www.fittingmedia.nl/divers/GPS_011.jpg
Just tried uploading one of my photos tagged with GPSToday to PicasaWeb and it's recognised the GPS data perfectly. Here's the photo
http://picasaweb.google.com/apcd2apcd2/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCLr5tdy08-bb9wE&feat=directlink
Very simple but you have to edit the registry.
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
and set the value of "Enable" to 1
Thank you'll find a new camera mode in the standard HTC camera program that is "GPS". It activates and deactivates the GPS automatically.
Enjoy
Do you guys want to have gps info on all photos or what? I didn't get the point.
Touch HD Camera has a "GPS Photo" mode..which can be selected manually by going in to "advance" options in the "camera mode" .
right clicking on the image on windowsXP and checking the image property doesn't show the GPS info..but if opened with any other viewer..XNview..lightroom..photoshop.. in EXIF data u can see the GPS info.
so please tell me whats the point of using tweakers to enable GPS tagging? or i'm missing somethig

Not on some stock ROM images, such as mine.
I personally choose to use it because when I share photos online, with things such as Picasa Web, it shows people on a map where the pictures were taken.
No real serious use for me, but it's a little more info for people, and you can also view public galleries and it will display all pictures taken in a certain area.
EDIT: OK I found the option, everywhere I looked and in PM's people were telling me to look in advanced settings for this, it's actually an option on the 2nd page of "Capture Mode" and not in settings, or an advanced tab at all. No wonder I couldn't see it lol.

Yes, almost all m pics are taken on motorcycle trips. It's nice to be able to see where on the route they were made.

The tweak is necessary to enable the GPS photo button in the advance tab when using a stock ROM
How long does it take for you to take a photo this way? Mine just says "starting gps" and nothing happens. I even tried waiting 3-4 minutes, the time it takes Garmin XT Mobile to get the gps signal here, but nothing.
i get the point now! i bought blackstone with a diff language than i'm using ..and installed cooked rom straightaway.. so i didn't know the diff(to the minor details) b/w a stock rom and a cooked one. Sorry for taking things as granted!
thnx ppl for the info!

It takes about 10 to 30 seconds, depending on where I'm standing. It indeed should take about the same time as Garmin.
But 3 to 4 minutes is a LONG time for any GPS app to get a fix... If you get that working right, GPS-Photo will probably work fine too.

- Well, offcourse the obvious. Try it outside, with no high buildings etc. around you and that sort of things.
- Then, try to update QuickGPS with new satelite info (makes a lot of difference).
- DISABLE AGps. Does more harm then good.
- Maybe try a different radio. I'm using 1.12 and get very quick GPS fixes. Faster then 1.9 and 1.10.
Let us know how it turns out!
Anyone know any thing new on any effort to port Footprints to Blackstone? all posts are a bit old. there's a standalone that sorta works on Blackstone but the resolution is wrong so text is misaligned and its not very usable. anyone made any headway at porting it to a tab or at least a usable standalone? It would REALLY rock if anyone could port it to an manila v3 tab!!! i'd donate for the effort. sure many would!

I can't do that cause i still don't know how to backup the original radio. I would like to backup everything i need for warranty sake. I posted a thread here, but got no answers. I know it's all been explained here, but it's just too confusing. I know how to backup ROM, but i need to know what else i need to backup an HOW, before i flash a new radio and ROM.
The current device info is:
ROM: 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE
ROM DATE: 11/12/08
RADIO: 1.09.25.14
PROTOCOL: 52.49a.25.26U
ExtPkg: 1.14.479.302

I did all you said, and nothing helped. However, i did notice this - i started Garmin, got a lock in a matter of seconds (after i did the fast GPS thing, so i'm guessing Garmin is using that), turned it off and geotagging worked instantly. So, i'm guessing camera has a problem using quick GPS or starting GPS by itself. Any ideas on this?
Hey all, thanks for all the awesomeness around here. I would really like to be able to geotag a photo when I take it. I have tried
locr - crashes upon first run of program, never opens
edit: in forum locr states that they do not support smartphones
gpsed - does not tag on the phone
GPSToday - not for smartphones
Any solutions? Thanks!

Well, there's a registry setting you can change to enable the GPS photo option, but unfortunately it seems there's more required to get it working as it's not actually adding the GPS information to the pictures.
yup
I just came back to update this with that info I found about the hklm/software/htc/camera/p9 enable change and if anyone had a smartphone solution with this. Yeah, no exif reader I use finds any location info in the header of the pics I take with gps photo...
So close I can taste it!
I'm running the HTC TUR 1.61 ROM and have installed BsB Tweaks 1.6 so that I can access the hidden camera modes to use GPS Photo. The GPS Photo mode initializes and works. But when I go to 'Show on map' it puts the latitude as a positive value rather than a negative so that it places the location exactly the same distance the other side of Greenwich that it should be. The longitude is absolutely spot on but the latitude, if it is supposed to be 50 miles west of Greenwich, ends up being 50 miles east of Greenwich!
Is anyone else experiencing this bug using this ROM and tweak combination?
yep mine is inaccurate as well... off by some 500m
GPS Photo Mode - can't see geotag info
I completed the following from the excellent "things you may not have known thread" by tboy2000
14 To enable GPS Photo mode:
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" to "1"
I have searched to see if I can find what happpens next, I tried taking a few shots normally (not footprints), then with google maps and gps running but in neither case could I see any geotag info when i copied the pictures to picasa which picks up geotagging.
Please could someone tell me what I need to do. I have obviously missed something I Have checked the regedit is still present as ajusted above, thats not the problem, its just how to benifit from the result!
Thanks Simon.
ops, reallly sorry jumping on this thread with this separate question, i meant to post it separately. I will see if any replies then if not will re post. sorry again.

I have a problem with GPS photo latitude too!
Currently I'm on latitude -22degrees 48' 37.03" (south), but when I see ask the photo properties in my Windows desktop, I see for the latitude: -2147483648 degrees 0' 37.03"!
By the way, I should note that -2147483648 = 0x8000.0000.
The longitude is ok!
Anyone else? And more important: how to solve this?
@creed: I didn't understand some points in your post: what program are you using to "show on map"? And latitude is related to the equatorial plane; not Greenwich. So, there's something odd in your message.
@Si607: I wanted to to something similar to you, but using Flickr because I saw in one a reviews that Flickr is more precise in its geotags than Picasaweb. Anyway, if we don't solve this problem first, there's no use to the automatic geotagging at all.
Edit: My ROM version is 1.48 and I used BsB Tweaks too.

Sorry you are quite right. It's my longitude that is out. I used Picasa to display the location. It was very accurate with respect to latitude within 10m.
Hi guys.
I have the same problem, im mi case its longitude value, i have registry tricky (bsb tweaks).
When try to show on map (google maps), gps values on exif data represent wrong position.
GPS Longitude 0.509792 degrees
in the mediterranean sea
Where te real position its:
GPS Longitude -0.509792 degrees
I think the problem is negative values. I have HTC HD2 (rom bsb 3).
Any tip to correct this?
Thanks

I cant find a GPS Photo mode either. Did you ever find out how to get it to work?
You have to chose capture mode on the camera app, chose next screen and then chose the gps photo mode, it will then find your gps and let you take a photo.
I've not tried mine so not sure if mine is accurate or not
the negative value is sooo annoying~
I do not think many people has tried this GPS function... Or maybe there's not many who is in the southern hemisphere and use this function ...

Hi!
I'm in southern hemisphere (see the flag ) and as I said before (post #5), my longitude is ok but the latitude is completely nonsense. Its strange... everybody here seems to have longitude problems, while I have latitude problems.
So I gave up this mode and started using only footprints. It's not as practical nor has as many options as the camera mode, but it does the job.

I m about the -ve value of latitude too, if you use something like EXIFreader, you ll see the lat = -XXX, and south , while in my HTC DIAMOND, there 's no -ve value at all.
I had some GPS pic when I was in northern hemisphere, and they are all good...
if I manually type in the value from the EXIF in google map , without the -ve , it ll spot the correct location....
Temp solution is to use a EXIF editor to pick the -ve value and edit it to a positive value
I find nice solution using freeware GPSToday (Open market), in mi HD2 works very well and geodata is correct now. Software GPSToday have a plugin for auto geotagg photos, you only need activate this plugin, provide in plugin settings DCIM\100MEDIA directory and RUN.
Mine is: \\Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA
http://www.geoterrestrial.com/ (GpsToday)
When software adquire satelites ask for create account. You can create and disable later real time localization.
http://www.geoterrestrial.com/geotagger/
When you shot photo, GPSToday launch audible sound to inform you pic was geotagged.
Works great and geotagg photo its correct now.
Using its very easy, launch GPSToday, start adquiring satellite, left bottom corner (initially in red), when satellite status adquiring green color return to windows home and launch photo in normal mode. Voila
Of course, GPSToday have a more interesting tools, totally recomended.
PD: I know, mi English sucks
I heard about that GPStoday before, but it's known to suck up a lot of batterie life
I hope someome will fix the GPS problem!

Guys, i need to record the time and date when taking photos. So i am looking for an app to do that, ideally would print the date/hour in the picture... if this is not possible is there a way to know at what time was a photo taken?
I guess this is very basic question, but i am a really noob in this matter =)
I am using HTC HD2 with Pdaimatejam WP 7.8 rom. (excelent ROM btw)
Tks in advance.
Found an app to do this:
Photo TimeLine
every photo have digital tag with information with time and other data (GPS location is enabled)... i hate date and time when visible on photo

Yeah, i don't like date/time visible in photo either, but in this case i really need the information. After read your post i sync the photos with zune in my pc and all the info was there, time and date taken and even GPS coords =) (oh my.. we really live in a BigBrother world)
So.. i guess theres probably an app to read this digital tag inside HD2.. that would be perfect! Gonna search for it.
Found it.
Photo TimeLine out
Photo Info in.
Dxdy, ty.
