Need Camera help

Hi
I just found out I have a little problem with my camera. It works perfectly but when cleaning up after all the installation its seems I deleted some of the templates used by the cam. Now I can't do a "picture theme" anymore as I have no templates for it.
Can somebody send me one from his, I only need one to avoid that nasty error when switching through the cam modes. You should find them on you PC in the synced MyDocuments folder under Templates.
Thank you very much.

Please with sugar on top.

I got this from someone in another thread not that long ago. The originals aren't there, but quite a few good replacements...
Just extract the cab file and chuck it on!

Lovely, thank you so much. That are way enough, I only need very few since I dont use that feature at all yet and I dont want to fill my ram with such things. But since I deleted them (dont know why) switching through my cam modes caused an error that no templates are there when reaching picture theme.
Do they install into the My Documents\Templates folder?

HELLO cowboy, I had the same problem few days a go ( see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28308&highlight= )
U just have to put this gif file inside the folder named Models (my documents > models >) and all will work fine...
Pay attention with file syncronisation...wt you erase on the pc folder will be erased on your Magician.
Cheers
Placido

Actually I found out it can be any gif file of those templates so you can chose a few that you actually may use someday. Those two are not really very useable, esp the large flashing one. That downloadable cab contains a few very nice that will work too.

2 questions reg. Camera and MMS

Ive got the S100 and have two questions.
1. Is there any way making the camera saving all picstures in the same folder? Right now its generating anew folder every day.
2. When I receive a MMS it doesnt connect with the contact list, wich means I dont get the name of the sender, just his/hers number. When receiving a SMS it will state who sent it with name taken from the Contact list.
All help appreciated!

there must be some registry tweak! I saw one in this forum, done it, but have no results...
After day-by-day using the camera, I have realise, that it is very comfartable. I mean the different folders every day - pics doesn't mixing.
relax, man, and enjoy!!!

You could install the latest version of the camera software, that allows you to customise how it names the files and whether it puts them in a new folder. While you're there you could try the latest version of the MMS software too, to see if that helps.

Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC28_Customize.CAB
CAB-Acrosoft-MMS-2.5.0.28-ENU-MagicianAKU2.6-13May06.CAB

And after you have installed the new version on camera (that don't create any folder, but save directly in /My Documents/My Picture by default) use this reg trick to save the picture where you want:
From a post that I've found in this forum:
"Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image
You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in
(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)
as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)
What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".
Regards,
Fossalta
[Edit] You can do the same trick for the /Video key [/Edit] "
Bye bye

yes-yes-yes, that's what I'm talking about... But it is not working with default camera!

Well, installed the "Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC23_Customize.CAB" wich only gave me another problem. The camera is only taking pics horisontal...

What about quality of shots? Is something changed?
To uninstal... hmmm... maybe you must install the original camera .cab???

Well, cant see any difference actually...
Well, the original cab file for the MMS prog would be great as well, since the new one didnt work - at all

There's apparently not much you can do regarding picture quality but the latest camera software patch will fix up the snow problem on your pictures. You will still see snow on the viewer but the pictures will be snow-free

I have installed the rc28 camera and it gives total sh*t to today screen... I can't describe it... some kind of traces of launched apps remains and there is no wallpaper... I've perform the Hard Reset.
Camera app is working, but there is no difference. exept landscape mode onle, mms video mode (don't notice it in default app), and absent day-folders when saving.
ADVICE: DON'T install it!!!!

I don't know about the RC23 or RC28. I installed the patch by ampda (which is newer than RC23)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305&highlight=
And the camera is great, you can take shots in landscape or potrait mode plus the snow problem is fixed as well.

What CAb did you install? There are some few that all regards the camera..
And does anyone know what the original version of the MMS prog is named, and where I can find it?
/n

There are individual patches but there is one cab that incorporates the patches and update the camera version. File is called
ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
copy the CAB file to your \windows folder then run it on your handheld. Then make a backup copy the file \windows\camera.exe
The CAB will create a file called camera27b21026.exe or something similar in the \windows so rename that file to camera.exe
And there you have it.
For the MMS, will be something like this file on your EXT ROM

THANX!!

If you install the RC28 camera file you just have to reset your today wallpaper and it will be fine, I think the same happened when I tried 23 too.

Accidentally deleted camera templates

Oops, I'm a dumb ass. Thinking that I would NEVER use the silly picture frame templates on my MDA, I deleted them in the hope of recovering some storage space. Bad idea.
The problem is that when I cycle through the different modes in the camera app, one of them is looking for those templates, which freaks the camera out.
So...
Could one of you be so kind as to either:
a) Tell me which files I need to put back (I think they're in a sub-folder of My Documents)
b) Make a ZIP file with them so I can restore them?
Thanks!
- Justin

Yes find attached
place them in my documents\templates
Have you deleted word & excel templates as well if so will post those
regards

That did it!
Thanks, Mark! You're my new personal hero.
Cheers - Justin

Where to find camera.exe?

When I launch my camera, it is coming up part of the screen still showing whatever I had running before starting the camera (usually the today screen), and the controls to get to the settings, change to video, zoom, etc. are not responding.
My thought is to reinstall camera.exe or at the very least, install another copy and redirect to the new copy. Anyone have a cab or know where/how I can get another copy on to my phone? Or for that matter, other (free) camera software I can use instead?
I'm really trying not to hard reset - I've tweaked a lot of stuff onto Ultimate Launcher and Mobile Shell 2.0, and don't want to go through setting it all up again.
Thanks in advance...

The problem is not with the camera app, but with something else you have installed. If you want to hard reset and not lose anything, you can backup your files, or for something like UL, save your ".ini" file. It may help for you to post a screenshot.

Is there a replacement for the default camera app on the Touch? I find the default one horrible...

The camera app is fit for the device, what's wrong with it?

Here is a cab for theTitan, I lost my camera when i flashed to 6.1 works like a champ

Original Manila files

Could someone please upload the original manila files?
I got them off my own phone but somehow some pics are crappy so it's kind of strange to edit it... i attached a example of one of the bad pics
Reason is i want to start making my own skins so i can contribute to this community
btw it's been done with manila editor 0.2
or should i use a different app? (if there's one)

a lot of files in manila looks like this U upload here ... There is nothing wrong with it because they look so everywhere ... I think so ... i saw a lot of pictures looks like those in my manila.

there are alot of files to edit and most of them are good, but they all have to be good
its strange that 7d... (for the weather) file is good but the 3f... (i think internet) file isnt.. i think it's just copied wrong.. i'll try to check what files are bad and put it back again but please if someone already has the good files could he/she upload it?

There is nothing wrong with them ! They must be like that because later manila compile them in code and they look like they should. Those "crappy" files are ok. And every manilla got them ...

Don't think that's the case because when i change that file with a edited one it stays white, and it it doesnt only happen with my device.. i think the original rom was corrupted while uploading or something and those files got affected. could someone with a 1.3 rom check the files?
i got only 8 files (i think) that are crappy, but alot of files that are just white... don't know why that is and what they are exactly...

No, I think Krzysiec is right...
There's nothing wrong with the files... they have always been like that..
This is the same reason we can't change the background in Sprint TF3D..
I think sushilange said something about that they are coded differently...
and maybe in a future update of Manila Editor we can probably change them...? (hopefully )
you can try to change the size of the image to 2x2 pixels and give it a colour... then TF3D will show that colour...
dont ask me why.. I only discovered it one day... ???
