It has the same zoom in and zoom out option like on the iphone. Double tap=zoom in or out! I love the new htc album but I haven´t seen a .cab for it yet!

haven't seen a cab for it either. suggest you go for a rom upgrade to dutty's v3 xt ship instead, it'll get you a lot of other good features as well, together with the new album. well worth the effort.

I prefer the old way to zoom in and out. Small circles are tighter zooms, larger circles are lesser zooms. It gives you more control. You can hold the HD with one hand and zoom with your thumb.

Replace Non Sense ROM camera with SenseUI Camera?

Hey Dev's, can ya answer me this?
Why does SenseUI have a different camera app then non SenseUI ROM's? At least that's what I've noticed with Cyan's latest ROM, and his 1.6 ROM. I like the camera in the SenseUI ROM's, but really want to stick with Cyan's 2.1 ROM. Can the camera app be replaced? If so can any Dev provide some guidance?

If your new topic ends in a question mark then 99.9% of the time it needs to be in General because it has nothing to do with developing a rom itself.

The customized apps in HTC Sense builds are closely tied in to HTC's framework. So it would take a hell of a lot of work to 'port' the camera app over and making sure all it's dependencies are intact. It's not a copy and paste job.
However HTC's camera app was ported to Cyan's 1.6 builds before the whole Google ****storm went down, but that requires a really old ROM that I doubt you'll be able to find. Anyway, Google's Camera app from 2.1 surpasses it anyway.

The current camera in Cyan's 2.1 build is crap, can't zoom, can't adjust brightness levels, all it has are some filters and some white balance. I'd really like zoom and brightness controls. Any suggestions?

I was saying that Google's camera from 2.1 is better than the HTC camera from 1.6...
The only thing I can suggest is running a Sense ROM w/o Sense.

Ahhh...gotcha Yah, the 1.6 camera was pretty bad. I've been pretty spoiled with Android, I ran 1.5 for about a day, 1.6 for another day, and have been on 2.x ever since. LoL I used a 2.0 ROM for the longest time, but am really liking Cyan's 2.1, except this camera thing. Damn, I don't wanna move to Sense....I really like this ROM!

Yup, it sounds awesome, can't wait to get my magic in a couple of weeks time. Definitely flashing it the second I root it. And I agree, Sense sucks >.<

Thanks! It does work well, slower then the stock camera but I ended up with a few cool test shots.

no problem my man. have fun with it.

Porting the 2.2 htc camera.apk and others to stock 2.2 android?

I am a fan of cyanogenmod, as many others, but i hate the stock android camera app. so my request is that someone good with porting/baksmali can port this apk and make it work. i think the camera app is the only disadvantage of stock android/cyanogen.
Wishlist
HTC Gallery
HTC Camera with 720p
HTC Contacts/Phone?
(more?)
Any one else wanting them? let me and devs know by commenting!
Progress:
One developer will work at porting FroYo HTC camera and 720p. (ralle.gade)

+1 on that and i would like htc gallery witch is way faster.

we just need a dev.
1+ on htc gallery

I am desperate for the HTC camera / 720p camcorder for a ROM without sense
+1!!

count me in hate the stock camera/video app not many settings to play whit

the issue that will probably come to light is that it will no doubt need the htc sense framework, not sure if just the frame work can be ported or not

the contact app would also be sweet ^_^

The contact app is lovely on the stock HTC Desire sense 2.1
What I really miss about the camera is the tap to focus/hold to take photo part. I took some photos at a concert the other night on the stock android camera and it just could NOT hold focus.

may the developers be with us.

The contacts app on Sense is horrible. I find it really slow and unpleasent to use. I'm fairly sure that it plays a large role in Facebook sync not working.
I would love the Sense calendar though.
Also, the Sense browser (well, just the text selection bit) and the Sense USB connection type screen would be amazing!
Or if the official Facebook and Twitter would integrate into a Sense rom like they do in Opendesire / any other Android build, it'd be fantastic.

The upcoming open desire rom may have 720p. Not sure if this means the htc camera or not, but it's a start

Paul O'Briain has posted it over to his Nexus roms, so that could be worth a look at.

Same! HTC Camera and Contacts would be nice in CyanogenMod 6!

The text selection would be amazing. The default Froyo text selection is so poor in comparison. I'd happily pay for good text selection.

Come on ppl! I'm not as good as you. You guys can handle it!
Rip those HTC Apk's.
XDA for Rip!

I would like to add HTC Footprints to the list. Or have anyone found a substitute?

There is no alternative which can come close to the HTC one.

There's a thread in the Dev forum from a chap attempting to port the Nexus/Modaco Camera across to OpenDesire.

YES! that would be fantastic! I'd happily buy him a pint for that
Just installing OD as of right now as it is.
My phone has more Sense than me...
and i DONT like it

[Q] [NAND] Pixelated graphics and widgets in all NAND roms. (Banding)

Hello xda,
Im currently using the rom on my signature which runs close to perfect. But I want to know why and how can I fix the ugly pixelated graphics and widgets in the rom. Is not a specific rom issue since all NAND roms i've tried have that problem. Back in SD this issue was fixed and graphics looked perfect. How can I achieve that sharp and nice look?
Thank you all, this community is amazing.

do you have a screenshot at all to show us? Maybe a photo of the screen from another camera if that is easier?

Here's a screenshot with music and calendar widget.
Notice the ugly pixels and blocky look.
Edit. Actually don't know why drocap won't show it. But all of you who have nand open those widgets and you'll see what i mean

sorry dude... it looks normal... and looks totally fine on mine, I have a Telstra HD2 (512ROM) tried the CM and Desire and MIUI based ones, they all work great on mine, no odd looking pixels

Maybe that issue caused by image compression ... I think.

The rendering of widgets can be affected heavily by the launcher. I've heard suggestion that Launcher Pro will get rid of that problem. Worth a try since you just uninstall it if it doesn't fix it.
If it is down to the launcher, there's not going to be any fix for you, other than hope that there's an update to the launcher you use, that addresses the issue.

Thank you all for your answers. Will try another launcher and see.

I installed launcher pro (free) and tried it in the beginning with MDJ 2.6 G-bread nand version... I noticed pixelated widgets but kind of did not care. I also installed bunch of things after 1st boot and started using the phone. Among other apps it was ADWlauncher EX which I paid... I rebooted after that once for different reason and once it booted up again I literally noticed huge bump in how smooth and fluid motion was with this launcher - pixelation was also gone and I do not know whether it was launcher that made it that way - but I definitely love it

I know what he is talking about. I try to avoid widgets with that ugly looking thing. Which is why I'm currently using transparent widgets.
These screenshots have been taken with this app called "shoot me" As you can seen, they look perfectly fine
But, now look at these pictures taken with my digital camera

Looking at the pics you posted I believe this is the banding problem alot have referred too caused by the 65k limitation on the screen.. Yes it is capable of 262k but the devs haven't figured out how to unlock it yet.. Winmo say it's a software limitation.. Hope this is a lil explanation.. The reason your screen shot doesn't show it, is cause android itself isn't limited to 65k colors only the screen is (currently)..

Hi, can you update us on whether this has worked for you?
I'm facing this problem too, and I'm still keeping the power control widget even though the pixelated one looks very ugly..

Who would be interested in this?

Only one person has requested it, but it seems a bit easy to do (in my dream land, at least). A Sense ROM with no Sense in it (except the camera, the camera is and will always remain awesome). Kinda for those who like the Sense camera, hate Sense, and doesn't wanna flash between AOSP and Sense every time they want to be speedy and take sexy pictures. Would anyone like it?

I would. Mainly using vf for the new sense camera.
And if you could get the hdr and burst feature working, it would be pudding on the cake.
Love aosp but camera is just inferior

I would only keep camera, dialer, quick office, clock (world clock, timer and stop watch), browser and mail - ordered by priority

When i bought my phone. I bought it as a phone first, a PDA second and a camera last. If i want to snap shots i'll use my DSLR or my Pocket PHD camera.

The Camera, and Clock I can keep.
Quick Office ... meh.
Browser ... I use Opera.
Mail ... I use Gmail.
Dialer ... HTC's is a bit better then Motorola's.

When I got this phone, I ditched my stand alone camera, gps, ipod. Sold all of them and paid for the phone.

Of course people would like it. The problem is, the there's a lot of backbone behind the all those sense apps/widgets that make them work. You would need the entire sense framework just to have that spiffy camera, and that means you'd have a sense ROM. It's not simply a matter of copying the camera.apk from one to the other.

That, I know already, but lots of people don't want to go around repeatedly changing their ROM, or deleting all the things for them. This would just be like a light Sense.

My contention is that "light Sense" (as you call it) doesn't really exist, it's just Sense. Even if you didn't include any other apps/widgets that require it, you still have the entire Sense framework under the hood. That's like swapping out the entire engine just so you can mod the headlights. There's no way to do that without altering the behavior of the entire car.
Granted, I don't have the same depth of understanding as ROM builders, but this is the impression I get about it.
