Flashlight Camera new Roms (2.09 etc)

Has anyone noticed the large improvement in the flash light adjustment of the
new ROMs?
I got Miri 4.2 6.XX, which has the new TMOUS 2.09 Rom.
Yesterday i took a picture on a party, it was dark and therefore the flash went on. I warned the girl that the light is going to blind her because normally people would yell at me when i try to take a picture with the hd2 because of the brutal flashlight being on all the time while taking a picture. B
ut then, the flash just did go off not even a second and the picture taken was pretty decent (see below)
Can anyone confirm this? Is it just Miris ROm or did they finally adjust the Flashlight timing so the camera can be used in dark rooms now without having the overlighting.
Greets,

yeah, i think i can confirm this. by the way good looking

Which ROM do you use?

I've already mentioned this in a post about Dutty's ROM almost a week ago and NOT ONE PERSON could be arsed to comment on it or put forward their opinion, despite the fact I took the time to flash back to the default TMOUS 2,10 ROM to find out. I posted pictures using the TMOUS with the new camera tweaks and Dutty's which (at that point) left them out.
The pictures are conclusive in my opinion.

I'm sure your original assessment was correct, but don't take it too personally. It's probably the pretty girl that got everyone's attention!

This is properly a part of the new camera app one the newer roms.. Could some of you on 2.10 maybe provide a CAB for this new camera application?

I tried using new camera package with 1.66 ROMs but no luck, photos are over-darkened. Seems it has a dependency on other ROM packages.

I think its more reliant on the camera drivers that changed..

I have to new Artemis HD2 v 5.0 Rom based on the 2.10 drivers but I can't obtain these results.
Could you post your settings or customisation, please ?

I am using itje rom (Touch it BL) and it is the first rom where my flash light does flush when set to auto flash. Before I had to put the ligh on or off and then make picture.

with RTT_Shock_Star_RC8_WWE there is unique picture quality, never seen before, now we can use HD2 for camera

Can someone do a CAB with the Fixes???
Would be grate!!!!!!

Using a ROM based in 2.10.
Amazing.

Just sent a letter to HTC inquiring their plans for an update. Anyone else?

[Q] Streaming video quality

Hows the video quality? On youtube for example? Is there a differnce in quality in a rooted vs unrooted? Thanks!

how would giving you access to root directories effect the way the phone works? root simply gives the phone access to things it normally wouldn't so it does nothing to your phone the only way for something to happen to your phone is if you do something to it. so to answer your question no

Well, I am new to all of this. Also I have read where people have said that rooting the phone made it run faster. So I wondered if running faster had any effect on vid quality.

And you never answered my original question... How is the video quality?

well thats in their head lol but you can make your phone run faster by deleting the stock apps but of course you need root for that... actually i did answer your question i said there is no difference it was the little last bit on my first post

Right, you said there was no differnce in rooted vs unrooted. How is the video quality overall? My bud at work has an iphone 3g and without the my 3g app the quality is pretty bad when hes not on wifi. Was curious how smooth the vids were. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

you asked if there was a difference in video quality from a non rooted phone vs a rooted phone and there is no difference but as for having wifi on or off the quality is the same just might take longer to load

Actually on wifi the phone defaults the youtube app to high quality video mode, but on 3g you can simply hit the menu button the load the video in high quality.

LOL!!! So is the quality good, bad?? I do appreciate your info, bro. That sticky you reccomended had some great info!

of course it had great info its a sticky lol and i would say this phone has great video quality. im mean come on it comes with avatar on it lol if it plays it flawlessly it can play anything and so far i havent had any bad quality playing videos unless it was just the actual video that was bad

This phone has quite possibly the best screen out there, so yes the quality is good but it also depends on the video its self of course.

Thank you skater!!!! it only took 12 posts, but finally I got my answer!!!!
Im probably looking to get a vibrant in the next week or two. Im just doing a little research first.

your welcome and if your researching for a phone you picked the best place to do it. imo this is the best phone out there besides the evo ive played with about every phone out there and nothing can beat this screen and customization.

nice
nice, downloading to try

the file quite big... 295MB.... but it's worth to try this build.....

nice with cht

thanks securecrt for sharing to XDA
let me try...

nice,I like it very.try it now.

Is this safe? I don't trust builds unless they're released by someone on here....
Whats with the android.cab? What do you do with that and whats it for?

I believe the android.cab is like an autoboot from winmo (I personally didn't install it) for those that may not have one. As for the rest of the rom, well I understand your caution, but as with anything, no one is forcing you to install it. There is an inherent risk with ANY rom on this forum. Using caution is wise, so what I did is I compared the files to other roms I have used and saw that they matched up, I have installed it (with the attached 2gb image), it's running now, you have to select the English language, unless you understand either of the other 2 Chinese languages available. From there the setup was the same as the other HD roms. Testing it now, will report results later. So far so good...

Hi, have you asked about GPC before posting this?

OMG the camera quality compared to all other builds i used before is AMAZING !
After turning off the handwriting in options i think it is my new daily Android.
And the camcorder seems to record in 720p but we are not able to playback...

great build..but data icon dont animate..

I concure about to put it through its passes. i decided to test this build just for the 720P recording...wanted to see if it was indeed working. and for sure it is. as well the cam pic quality is very good. have not tested sound quality as of yet. waiting for the build to do a full update from the market before i start really testing it out...first impressions are good...will report back later today after more use.

Just tried this build and it's looking VERY promising. i tried the other Desire HD build with the camera fix but the camcorder still wasn't working on it and for some reason every time i tried to get into the market it would force close. as for the android cab..yeah,i wasn't sure what that was so i just thru it into the android folder along with the media folder.i tried the camcorder and it's working.it also played back my video. i know some were sayn that they didn't have playback on their camcorder. i may not go back to any other android build. i think i found my holly grail of android builds !

Just to clarify, this can record at 1280x720 but can't play it back?

Video guide "beta"

Hey fellas!
I've spent the last couple weeks making a bunch of tutorials and things for people just getting into the scene and those that want to learn a new thing or two. I got tired of seeing all the crappity crap crap videos that were OK but nothing stellar, and usually poor quality resolution wise. Here's a taste of what I've been up to. I hope to have the core of my series done by the end of the week. I say hope because I've redone every video 2-3 times, and I keep finding something new to play with each time.
So, with that. This is a link invite only. I'd just like to know what you guys think, or if maybe you have some ideas you'd like me to take a shot at. I do have more interactive videos that zoom, highlight, and point out things when it requires steps to do so (i.e Odin which is a GREAT video so far). Most of my videos have 3 vantage points. The computer screen, the screen on the phone, and me handling the phone sometimes simultaneously.
Here is just a taste of what I'm up to.
***Edit***
I added the first video so you guys can get a better idea. I've only activated the rooting option at the end, which should take you to the second video (original one I posted) Enjoy!

Dude, that is very professional looking..... very, very nice. Thank you for using my sticky as a background, looks cool scrolling.
Are the links at the end going to take you to future videos?

yes, and a link takes you to this video should you choose the rooting direction. Those videos are mostly done, but aren't linked yet. I think you'll be surprised on what I've done with them.

Really looking forward to it, when all done... this will be at the top of each sticky (General and Q&A).
I did some videos for the noob guide that are not even close to this in quality (my daughter was sleeping next to me, shot with a nexus one, and no editing). One thing that I do get asked a lot is when going from eclair > froyo > eclair. How to ODIN back to stock... and flashing kernels (about the simplest thing ever). I imagine you touched on some of this already, just giving some feedback to you that I received.
Here is a good guide on going back to stock, just in case:

Yup, so far I've got my core essentials in. It's just fine tuning them and making sure I like them. Basically a person who has never seen a vibrant will be able to decide what they want to do with their phone, rooted or not. There is the intro which give you a choice to root, or not to root, or what is root if they're clueless. From there, it branches out to theming and rooting topics. Hopefully by the start of next week I'll be able to do some of the kernal flashing details and the different roms going around so people can see visually what's going on and decide before hand what that particular angle is all about.

Looks great!

Nice work!

[Q] Video Recorder Help

So I am not usually the guy to post new threads. Most everything I need I can find already. But after I was video recording my son at the park today and missed yet another video due to FC issues I guess it's time to finally ask. I have had my HD2 running some android rom or another for almost 2 years. I presently have CM7 Tytung v 3.8.5-MAGLDR. The reason I am asking this here and not in that thread is because it has always been an issue regardless of the ROM I am running at the time. The video recorder force closes. It's that simple. It works intermittently and then it will inevitably force close and can not be re-opened. The only fix is to reboot the phone. I have tried about every camera/video app in the Play store. I have flashed different cameras. My wife also has an HD2 Tmobile the exact phone as me and has the exact same issue as me. The video recorder force closes. I have to wonder if I am just missing something simple? Is there an app or something to flash differently? I recently had WP7 on my HD2 and the camera was AWESOME ! WP7 just doesn't do what Droid does.I am open to suggestions. Is this a known issue I am just forced to deal with on my HD2? How can I make my Iphone buddies stop laughing at my force closing Android HD2?

Youre not alone, same thing happens to me :/ no matter the ROM, i remember reading a thread about it but what i read didnt really help. It said something about not using the fix because most newer ROMs have the fix installed. So i didnt bother downloading it and cant find the thread anymore. Im gonna go look fo rit. hope others can help us both!

I found this earlier today here on the XDA site "props to whomever it came from " I just did a random search and found it. I was using my phone so I'm not sure the page exactly. Never the less I unistalled the stock camera via Titanium Backup and flashed this through CM Recovery. It has a video feature and a decent camera interface. So far no lock ups. Only this afternoon though. Time will tell. I've been running test to try and fool it. Using lots of memory, taking multiple shots switching back and forth, rebooting etc. So far its worked. Try it out, lemme know if it works.

Well, I had been using a CM7 Nightly neared build with a few mods that jar never failed me with camera and camcorder- it was so dependable that I have it on my old, some-hard-keys-dont-work HD2 because am using ICS primarily nowadays.
I'll post what changes I make later, and can post the ROM itself here if anyone wants to try...

<OT> Whoa bro! Go eay on smilies and ......... - it makes your post pretty hard to read, especially on the XDA app!</OT>

*Update* So after almost two years of agony I may have finally found a fix. The .zip file I posted earlier has worked so far. I fooled around with it all day yesterday and last night as well as this morning. I tried everything I know to make it crash from running multiple apps, opening a camera during a call, playing music then opening the camera etc. Rebooted a couple of times. Still not crash. I'll keep posting here with status updates. I found this yesterday on the XDA site. I just did a Google search. I am not sure who originaly posted this .zip file. If it continues to work I will give them a hug
