If you are using the EVO based build, you can ignore this thread.
This fix is ONLY for Desire based build with EVO's Camera application.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FIX IF YOU ARE USING THE EVO BASED BUILD.
First!!
After i fix the real 5MP capture in HTCCamera, i have also fix the Thunder Cloud Review window in HTCCamera today.
The fix APK is including the real 5MP fix and correct review window after you capture.
There is no more thunder & cloud strange picture again. You can also do some actions, like Share,Delete,Goto Media Gallery or Capture again.
What's the fix
1.fix the Thunder Cloud Review Window
2.fix the real 5MP
3.fix the Shutter Sound , if you use my old file, please download it again(Update @2010/11/07)
I have only test in Desire base, OTA 2.29
How to install it?
The APK CAN NOT INSTALL into your HD2 Android.
You have two way to install this fix.
Make sure your /system is Rear/Write not Read Only.
1. Putting the HTCCamera.apk into your HD2 SD Card using File Explorer with root access, copy the fixed HTCCamera.apk to /system/app and overwrite the original one, if you can find HTCCamera.odex in the /system/app, please delete it. In order to prevent the default shutter sound, you have delete(or rename) the camera_click.ogg in system. Go to /system/media/audio/ui and find out the camera_click.ogg, delete it or rename it.
I suggest you can use a Free root File Explorer called "Super Manager". The software you can search it on Market by "Super Manager" or "gpc". It is my design. It can help you move the fixed APK file into /system/app.
2. Using shell command
Code:
adb push HTCCamera.apk /system/app
adb shell rm /system/app/HTCCamera.odex
adb shell rm /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
If you use it in your release build, CREDITS, thanks
How to use it?
First, you have using the last EVO-bases kernel and the attachment APK file.
After installing it, you just have to launch the Camera.
If you are lucky, you can enjoy the new real 5 Mega pixel camera without Thunder Cloud right now. You don't have to reset you HD2-Android.
Enjoy it!!
If the fix is helpful, you can donate to me. thanks
Awesome!
Thanks a lot. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while.
Oh yes !
Thanks a lot !
Thanks for your work. now fix HD recording
(i know its codec related)
i have tried this but it just disable review after photo taking, is it something wrong?
Worked like a charm for me. thanks.
I used Android Commander to copy the file, I tried using super manager like you said but it would copy the file incorrectly to 0.00k, weird.
Anyway works now.
Thanks man. Works great.
Great Job
Tested Work 100%
Thanks
Does this fix the widescreen picture at 5mpx resolution. I don't think so
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Any one having this resolution with this?
2592*1944 (Real 5 Mega Pixel)
How is it possible?
I did as mentioned in the first post, cloud at preview has been successfully fixed, but I didn't get the real 5 mega pixel. I desire it!
Can some one please help me?
After replacing my Camera app I now have no camera app at all! I tried 3 or 4 times, downloaded the file twice and used 2 different root explorers, including the one suggested.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
I am using a Desire-based build for Tmo-US, and I upgraded the kernel to Hastarin r8 before attempting this.
EDIT: Nevermind, switched builds now fix is already applied
works for me!
Hiya, first a big thanks for this one, seems to work perfectly, getting full 5mp (2592 x 1944) res photo's without the cloud stuff, review window works well, seems to keep to the 5 second timeout i put in settings for it too.. replaced original file with android commander btw, just make sure u got usb debugging mode on for that to work
one more request though: could you also fix the setting for shutter sound? i've tried setting it off/on, but the sound remains on no matter what the setting says.. i don't know if that's kernel related (though i don't think so), so that would be really nice if u could fix that as well
working with darkstone froyostone 3.2 with hastarin r8 + letama's pppd wrapper v0.3 here
edit: been trying some more settings, and it seems that setting the camera to widescreen just stretches the photo to widescreen, the picture looks squashed compared to what u see in the viewfinder(screen) before u take the photo. doesn't seem to be the case for the 4:3 mode though, taking pictures there just gives nice unsquashed photos
Perfect !
Thank for your hard work !
But how to ZOOM ?!

We don't have HTC customize camera library.
The camera library in your HD2 is based on Nexus One with some modify. It is impossible to fix the widescreen and face detection in HD2 HTC [email protected] without the HTC customize camera library for HD2.
I think it is very hard for us to get the camera library.
If we can get the HTC customize camera library source (NOT the current library with the open source,Nexus One), we can modify it to work in HD2.
However, how can we get the source code?
Maybe somebody can be a thief and steal the source code from HTC office
I remember 1 of the version from darkstone ROM, the camera face detection is working fine. But i can't recall which version is that.

Fix: Real 5mpx
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
HTC always has to screw up something, the image bilinear filering is now disabled when viewing images fitted to screen, equally the filtering quality is reduced when zooming in, im sure they did it to increase speed
but really it makes browsing/viewing photos and pictures horrible, the gallery was one of the best things in my DHD
is there anyway to restore the foyo htc gallery? titanium isnt allowing it
[edit] more info and pics in the third post
It would allow it when u root your phone (what you haven't done... thats how it seems).
When u want to root your phone u can install Visionary from the market and root your phone for a short moment.
Then u will need a backup of your 2.2 galery or a froyo rom that included sense.
When u have the rom (.zip) the HTCAlbum.apk will be located in \system\app of the zip file.
After extracting the apk u need an explorer that will ask for root previliges (i use rootexplorer but thats a pay app) and u have to copy the .apk to \system\app after u mounted read and write acces.
After that reboot unroot and u should have a the 2.2 galery on your phone.
Hope I could help
EDIT: i should read everything and do not write when i'm drunk....
but except from the first part with rooting it is possible that may way is still working
i was unable to replace the gallery app. even through recovery it disappears
the problem is there, yesterday i made sure of it by comparing it with a froyo running DHD, the froyo gallery did not have this problem
when you have a photo or an image, that is landscape oriented and you view it in portrait, the image rendering looks all messed up, jagged edges all around even if you zoom it, very apparent if you take a picture of a text and view it against its original orientation, if you view it in landscape its good quality
likewise, if you take a portait and view it in landscape it looks bad too
it ruins the whole gallery photo browsing experience, which was the best on the DHD, HTC will always do this, break something when they are supposed to be fixing....
i've attached photos of the issue i hope it shows
its been working perfectly for me....
I just noticed today that I am having problems with taking pictures with my phone. At normal zoom the pictures come out fine but as soon as I zoom in any at all I get a shadow box on the right side of the final picture when I look at in the picture galary. The pictures look fine until I actually open them to full view.
I am using MAGLDR, Daekin Sense of eclipse, with HierOS 1.8.3 Kernel.
Stock HTC camera with no special settings other than the zoom. the pictures even have the issue when I transfer them to my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you try other camera apps?
If this was done already than I apologize… I did make some effort to search the forum…. (little)
I tried many times to set custom wallpapers on my Tab... only to get frustrated with the Gallery Cropping Tool!
I tried many different wallpaper resolutions… some looked better than others.
The best results you get with abstract wallpapers since you probably do not care much if its crops things here and there…, but what if you want to center something in both portrait and landscape mode??
I decided to try a few things in Photoshop and was very happy with my results…..
(once again, If this was already done by someone in the past than I am sorry)
I created a Photoshop template that will help all in creating custom wallpapers.
The document has “crop areas” that match the Gallery Cropping Tool so that when trimmed you will get exactly what you placed in the “live areas” (with guides…etc.)
All is self-explanatory one you open it in Photoshop.
Do Not forget to save as a jpg
On the Tab,
Go to Gallery, choose the Wallpaper..... extend the cropping to maximum.
Attached is the PSD and a Sample Wallpaper.
I hope this helps..
Sample pics not showing, but sounds promising. I too have been frustrated by the stupid cropping of my wallpapers.
EDIT: Tried to download on my PC and says that zip is corrupted. Can you try a reup plz? Thanks

Have you tried multi-picture live wallpaper from the market?
Yes I did.
I wanted a different .....simpler approach to set custom wallpapers. (No need for extra apps on my Tab)
+ the template gives me more control

Loops...noticed a problem...not a big deal....
When I made and tested the template I had wallpaper scrolling turned off and only one homescreen. Upon enabling all home screens (7) And enabling scrolling I found that while scrolling it over shoots into the gray area in both landscape and portrait mode. This can be easily fixed by extending images on the template....
I'll try to edit the template and make more guides when I get the chance.

All you need is 'Simple Image Wallpaper'! Seriously. I went though all of this garbage to get the wallpapers to fit correctly and everything was solved once I got:

I am glad that you were able to figure it out, and I think pretty much everybody went through the same process if not on the tab then on another Android device ( I know I did with my old Captivate ). But I hate that we have to do it like this to get the pic centered properly on the tab or need to download a new app to make it work properly.
I was looking for some wallpapers that are dark and have some blurry effect in them, which makes the icons/shortcuts pop up a bit.
Not finding the ones I liked, I decided to download images (therefore I do not own the copyrights), resize and adjust them myself to my liking.
Variations are based on the blurr-factor, which I found to be a very personal thing. That's why I made several versions of one picture.
And it's all dark because I find that preferable when reading / using the tablet late at night (in bed for example)
And I figured that maybe some of you could benefit from it too, so I shared it on my dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vu04bob6og3bzml/NCrLmKXM1F
You probably already know the drill, but just to be sure:
1- Download the file(s) on your sdcard
2- Long press the background (e.g. main screen) and select wallpaper
3- Use the native picture viewer (gallery) to browse for the file
4- For cropping, again use the gallery *)
5- Voila!
I myself use the second one the most.
*) I find that apps like Quickpic don't do it the right way. The image needs to be cropped in two (!) versions and the native gallery does it the right way
Thanks, Nice papers. Especially like the brick one.
Nice wallpaper, tried and look charming
