HI,
Could someone please post up the correct settings for all the parameters in adaptive zoom.
I was playing around without saving them (I know), and now my screen is messed up.
Cheers,
mooro
Anyone?
Please go to config: opera and tell me these settings!
Browser Buffer Height = 1400
Browser Buffer Width=960
Maximum Zoom=100
Minimum Overview Zoom=85
Minimum Zoom=160
Virtual Screen Width=960
Zoom Slider Maximum=500
Cheers mate.

As I know, in the Registry
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Medium
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Small
I am able to change the factory FrameRate value from 10 to 19...
This is good news
Well, the Medium size is 176x144 pixel and Small size is 128x96 pixel by default.
But!
There is another Key :
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Large, but I am not able to select Large option in the Camera Settings page, just only Small and Medium.
What shell I have to change in the Registry to make Large videosize available in the Camera Settings page ?
(And what dimension should I use by selecting Large ? 320x240 ?)

You can not. there is no 320X240 in Charmer's Video Camera application.
But you can use "CoolCamera" for even 640X480 in video mode.

By simply changing the brightness level to -2.0 you will no longer have a blur - it's like changing the ISO on a camera and the FPS will jump by over 50%. check it out in full here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/decrease-the-blur-of-your-camera-really/

Sounds excellent, will try this out!!
EDIT
I have tried this and can find no improvement whatsoever. As kkchan stated below, all I notice is the picture has become darker due to the decrease in brightness level. I have even tried this at -1.0, but still no improvement
Hi,
I tried, no improvement, sometime seem even worst because the photo become darker.

I did it myself on a Touch HD and went from +2 and changed it to -2 and it was a world of difference. At +2 any movement was a blur and at -2 I could move the camera and still get a clean shot

In extreme light situtations (a bright day) there's almost no difference in speed but the HD never had a problem in very high light. The real impact is in moderate to low light. So far there are 2 comments at FuzeMobility both stating that it works effectively and I tested it last night on the HD and took an unusable camera and had something that could take a photo. Did you guys enable the FPS info to see if there was a change?

I had already tried tweaking a number of settings for both the camera & video to get a better pic. This may have had some effect on these new settings. I will play around with it and see what I come up with

What settings if you don't mind? I'm always up for more tweaking I know about decreasing the delay times:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/ and set CaptureTimer = 0 and EnableCapKeyDelay = 0 and CapKeyDelayTime = 0
and changing the panaramic photo size...I hope you have a few more though

Basically I read through a lot of threads regarding enhancing camera and have changed numerous things including those mentioned by yourself, some I can't remember to be honest and those mentioned in the wiki listed below. Also using HD Tweak etc
Increase Quality of Photos
To increase the quality of photos, open the Camera, go to Settings, Advanced, then Image Properties. Increase Contrast to 5, Saturation to 5, and Sharpness to 4. Now you will have better definition and much more realistic colours. Also don't forget to choose Super Fine under Quality in Advanced Settings menu.
Reduce Blurriness in Photos
To focus better, have shutter set just to Touch. After you have touched you have the whole three seconds to steady your hand and take a non-blurry photo.
Activate Hidden Photo Modes
You can activate hidden photo modes using the 'HD Tweak' app. Make sure to leave the resolutions for these modes at 1 megapixel though or they may not work properly. For for the more advanced users, use the following reg entries:
To enable Burst mode
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P6
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Sports mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P8
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Video Share mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable GPS Photo mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" on "1"
Get True 5 Mega pixel Resolution When Using Camera
To get 5MP instead of 4MP resolution when using your camera, you must switch off Widescreen mode in the 'Advanced' Menu.
Normal screen = 2592 x 1944 pixels = 5,038,848 pixels = 5MP
Widescreen = 2592 x 1552 pixels = 4,022,784 pixels = 4MP
Get Better Video Quality When Using Camera
Use MPEG format instead of H.263 for better quality video output. This option can be found by going to the Advanced Setting from the Video Settings menu. Once there, go to Capture Format and change format if necessary.
If I can think of any more I'll let you know.

Unfortunately I know about those Thank you though - I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from that list. The ability to do infinite zoom is still elusive as far as I know...

Adaptive Zoom
Don’t want to zoom to click a link? Try this..
1. Open opera’s preference editor by going to the following link:
opera:config
Note there is no http:// proceeding the link.
2. Click on Adaptive Zoom and try the following settings:
Browser Buffer Height = 4096
Browser Buffer Width = 800
Maximum Zoom = 100
Minimum Overview Zoom = 100
Minimum Zoom = 100
Virtual Screen Width = 800
Zoom Slider Maxinmum = 200
This should set your screen up so it no long needs to zoom to click a link but also makes the virtual page width the same size as the screen in landscape mode.

Hi,
thanks for the Tip ... but,
In 9.7b1 I can't find:
- Maximum Zoom
- Maximum Overview Zoom
- Minimum Zoom
- Zoom Slider Maximum
in 9.5 they exist but not in 9.7
not sure if it's something i've done, but after making those changes i can't launch Opera any more!!
I get the htc loading page for about about 20 seconds and then it just closes - anyone else had this problem or know how to solve?

It also makes the text tiny.
Does anyone have the original settings please, stupidly I did not note them down.

In Opera 9.5 i have the following settings which allow me to open links without zooming. Min overview zoom is the only changed variable.
Browser Buffer Height = 1400
Browser Buffer Width = 960
Maximum Zoom = 200
Minimum Overview Zoom = 85
Minimum Zoom = 160
Virtual Screen Width = 960
Zoom Slider Maxinmum = 500
So will altering these settings change the width of text elements and reduce the amount of zoom? I'm running this on an HX4700 with a 4.0" screen (I know, I'm getting my touch HD in less than 30 hours). When the zoom action happens, it automatically zooms to the width of the column element (ingenious) so I can scroll throught he column without side scrolling. However the width of the elements are too narrow and as such causes the zoom to be too high. I'd like to use the 4" display and VGA rez to read smaller but more amount of text.
I've no idea mate sorry. I just copies and writes up what i sees

I could only imagine it being in the one of the following
\Windows
\Windows\Opera
Possible \Application Data but unlikely I think.
I'm running the standard 6.1 HTC original ROM.
Forget all that. Everything is running. It didn't go as smooth and understandable as I might have hoped, but it works now. Thanks!
I lost the default value for opers 9.7 Zoom Slider Maximum. Can someone tell me what it is?
It can be found under
HKLM > software > opera > pref > adaptive zoom.
The reason I am looking for this is because when ever I double tap to zoom in on a picture, the pictures get really pixellated. This means that I am going past the actually size of the picture's resolution.
Thank you.

Our Nexus S has been blessed with the release of ICS 4.0 in which the light sensor values have been significantly improved over GB. In GB we had about 5 or 6 light sensor values which would decide how bright to set the screen. This created an opportunity for the CyanogenMod team to code the Automatic backlight settings with filtered values in between to try to help the community with correct brightness levels. Still it was a far cry from what is now possible because of the fine increments in light sensor delivered in with the 4.0 binaries.
These settings are a good starting point and can serve well as default values for most. However, depending on your eyes and Voodoo settings you might have to adjust them to your own comfort. So lets get started.
Open the CyanogenMod Settings (if you don't have them in your app menu, ask your ROM developer to integrate them)
Go to Display-> Automatic backlight
Enable - obviously turn this on
Window length - set as low as possible. 2 is the lowest currently. Since our sensor values degradation is very fine now, this is less of use
Reset threshold - set to disabled. Again, this depends on the window length
Sample interval - set to 2s. This will ask the processor to check the brightness level every 2 seconds. You can set it based on what you feel is correct but obviously low values can improve accuracy but uses more cpu and drains your battery quicker
Use custom - check this. we'll set our own values
Screen dim level - this is the default setting for your screen lowest dim level. I use 10 but you might have to use more or less depending on the quality built of your screen and voodoo settings.
Edit other levels... - skip this to the last step
Allow light to decrease - check this.
Decrease hysteresis - set to 0%
Now tap on "Edit other levels..."
Scroll down and tap "set number of levels" set it to 25. Now set the "Lower" value and a "Screen" value for it. The first "Lower" value is set to 0 and can't be modified. "Upper" value is set automatically based on the two values of "Lower" and "Screen". "Buttons" value never worked on the Nexus but with proper kernel support they can change based on light sensor conditions. For now, set all button values to 255.
All values can be set from 0 to 255. Here are my default values:
Code:
Lower | Screen
0 | 10
5 | 20
10 | 30
15 | 40
20 | 50
30 | 60
40 | 70
50 | 80
60 | 90
80 | 100
100 | 110
120 | 120
140 | 130
180 | 140
220 | 150
260 | 160
300 | 170
380 | 180
460 | 190
540 | 200
620 | 210
1240 | 220
2480 | 230
4960 | 240
10000 | 255
Go up and hit "save and apply" after setting it up.
If you're wondering why these values, I doubled the last increment every 4th value. Since the lowest values are the most important for us because we usually are indoors with different lightning conditions, the higher values can be quickly set to max 255 screen brightness when anything over 10,000 hits the sensor such as sitting too close to a powerful light bulb or if you happen to find yourself on Mercury during the day (might want to bring a suit also ).
Modifications and adjustments:
If the screen seems too bright or too dim at any time, go back to the "light sensor levels" screen and look up the current screen value. It's the 2nd line after "Sensor (filtered/raw)". Then scroll down and find a "Screen" setting which is equal to that value and modify it. Try not to move around and make sure the "Sensor (filtered/raw)" values stay the same. What you are doing is simply adjusting your phone's brightness to fit current light sensor level so if it changes while you set it, you wont know if it worked. Also, you can adjust all "Screen" values by 5 or more (down or up) if it feels like it's all off your comfort level.
If you really want to get down and dirty and understand all the fuzz in details byrong over at HTC Droid Incredible forums posted a great explanation and all the science behind it. Just remember that their phone is limited to just a few light sensor values where ours has virtually thousands and that's why I chose to almost eliminate the filtered value to control flicker. But it's up to you if you want to play with that. Also, he has a great post on CPU usage titled "Effects of CPU Frequency and Screen Brightness on Power Consumption". Make sure to check it out.
And one last note regarding the voodoo settings... your screen is different than other phones. I have 4 Nexus S phones and none of them can be set to the same voodoo settings to create the same colors. Depending on screen fabrication quality and possibly date of manufacture, it will vary slightly and sometimes greatly. So if you post your voodoo settings and someone says they suck now you know why.
Awesome guide, thanks!
Or if you're not on CM, grab this app : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vito.lux , you can set levels based on lux values with ease. Also on new year's sale now at half the price.

I have this enabled on CM setting and followed your directions...One question? Am I supposed to have automatic brightness levels checked in system settings, display, brightness? Thanks! I believe yes but just want to be sure
Necro but how are these settings in regards to battery life?
