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.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Extended_Roms/MDACompact_NL_1.13.125/
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...

Can you uninstall the new app?

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.

[REQ] searching for some special (grapfic-) files

I like to vary the appearance of my mobile and so I changed nearly all of the icons, some text and so on. Now I'm wondering if anybody knows what icon-files are used on the screen "call history". I talk about the red-marked signs on the attached picture. This is the call-history-screen that appears by pressing the homescreen, not the extra call-history-tab. These are not the pngs in the windows-folder, like "CallLogInBtnDn_Port.png" and so on. Got anyone an idea??
Thanks in advance

PS: In the headline I mean "graphic"-files...

Be sure, I did it. I think you know Mossis ROM - there I could found no files like the redmarked on my attached screenshot. Searched in other ROMs and in many themes - but these ones are not to find. I thought they would be hidden in some mode9-files, but no answer at the time...
Thanks for the moment, let's looking further

hi
all icon for call history are in phcanOverbmp.dll
in the bitmap folder (pic 6,7,8)

Seeing double in album!

I am suddenly seeing duplicates thumbnails in my album of only some videos and images. I have deleted album cache folder but no help. Any ideas how to fix??

Same with me - I've just bought this HTC and have the same problem - when I view the photos they are doubled! Has anyone got solution for that? it's really annoying. thx for any help.

Hi did you changed the HTC sense language?
eg : ROM WWE and Sense in German or any other language?

well, I just installed Polish when first switched on... Does it matter?

Yes, it does.
It's a bug, when you select a sense language different from the ROM, all the pics of your album are doubled!
Why? I don't known!
Have a good day

Nice bug there HTC
Any solution for it? Possible that it's just a regtweak...

Hello:
Well, the "double picture" problem happens when you change the Manila language. I change from English (0409) to Brazilian Portuguese (0416) and the problem began. I solve it changing 3 registry entries:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/VideoSaveFolder_xxxx
HKLM/Software/Camera/Image/GpsSaveFolder_xxxx
HKLM/Software/Camera/Image/SaveFolder_xxxx
Change xxxx to your language code, soft reset, and voilá!
Happy New Year!

Hm, that didnt do the trick for me. OR... I have entered the wrong code
Must check again. You ment to only change the name, right? Not the values? I did change mine to \Storage Card\DCIM\100IMG, maybe that screw things up a bit. What are the original values for all three, can someone post those please.
[Edit]
Interesting. I installed 4tunes' album cache cab and did the registrychanges (set to 041D == swedish, same language as manilla is set to)... and now i see double pics even in the widget, not just in HTC album but also in the widget
Someone needs to find a fix for this. Or... I suppose this will be fixed once custom roms are out and there's a reliable HSPL from cmonex
[Edit 2]
Changed to 1053 which is the language code I changed to (MUI) and got rid of the doubles in the widget, but there are still doublets in the Album.

haha, when I first time attempt to edit these value, after a reboot, somehow I see triple ,
then I edited it again, I soft-rested it, I see my pics 4 times in album, wow that was cool.
now, its back to normal, thanks.

Solved
1. Move to the Album-widget.
2. Click "Albums".
3. Navigate to the album on your storagecard and the folder where your pictures are stored.
4. Click "Menu", click "Set album as favourite".

Real Solution.
We have the solution.
1. Delete the "HKLM \ Software \ HTC \ HTCAlbum" under the "VideoSaveFolder_0409" String.
2. Create a new String "VideoSaveFolder_xxxx" as a value add to "My Pictures".
3. Soft-reset.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. My language is Czech and actually this is my first WM phone, so I don't know my way around. Also I have absolutely no idea where to find the language codes for czech. Can someone please write the instructions for the solution like for a complete idiot? Like where to find the folders and files, what to do etc... Sorry for bothering someone with something like this.

Hi, just do what smuppy advised:
1. Move to the Album-widget.
2. Click "Albums".
3. Navigate to the album on your storagecard and the folder where your pictures are stored.
4. Click "Menu", click "Set album as favourite".
Everything works for me. Now, of course - you have to put all your pictures in this folder !

Hi!
I have the same problem and its very annoying. The solution above not works for me. I have hungarian language on device and i dont know what the correct language code. The HKLM\MUI\Syslang is 1033 and the HKCU\MUI\CurLang is 1038.
I dont understand why set HD2 ALL pictures on device as Camera pictures (in album menu both have the same number)? And in fullscreen (only fullscreen view, the portrait preview and the picture flow work correct) show only the true camera pictures duplicated.
Possibly anybody wrote to htc support already?

OK!
My problem is fixed. I tried every solution in this thread and others but nothing works. At the end take a ROM upgrade from v1.47xxxx to v1.66xxxx WWE east-europe with hungarian language extend and now everything is ok.

Another solution...
I was seeing double when I moved the "My Pictures" folder from my device memory to storage card. So my simple solution was to create an empty "My Pictures" folder and put it back to the device memory. Why it worked? It's because the registry HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Image\SaveFolder_xxxx is pointing to this folder. Without the presence of this folder, it does the weird thing by doubling of the images. The solution worked for me. Another possible solution is to edit this registry key to point to the folder that stores the camera shots... but I have not tried that since I am OK with my current solution for now.

changing the photo destination is an option inside of the camera settings...
