1. How to make that everytime when i enter in the CamRecorder, to have 720p already ON? (everytime i must switch it from VGA to 720p, when exiting the app)
2. How to fix the autofocus from the Camera (not Camrecorder). Its really annoying to change to camrecorder, to let it focus, and then switch to camera and make a photo.
And one more question
3. I have installed all the unlocks, fixes,regions, etc. Created and activated my Live ID, called Microsoft they gave me an activaton code. I entered both of them, and marketplace gives me an error like : Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while.
More questions laters, maybe)
Even a proper HD7 you have to set 720p everytime, maybe one day someone will find a regkey to change this?
Ive never had an issue with focusing camera or camcorder, its amazing the camcorder focuses whilst recording unlike anything else Ive seen
There are threads to help get the Market working, basically after setting the CustClear.provxml the phone should say HD7 in Zune.
i'm having the same focusing issue with the camera too. hopefully someone will find a solution for it..
What reg fix i need to put in custclear.provxml that zune will say it's HD7..
I have HTC HD2 , and he cant autofocus on CAMERA, just only in camrecorder.
To make the marketplace work, i need this ?
Add this registry entries to show HTC Apps in the Marketplace (this will Not Fix live error!)
Your Phone will be identified as an HD7!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\operatorpkg]
"Version"="7.3.728.10201"

Camera has no auto focus, end of story.The camera in WP7, not just ours, is built in a way where WP7 phones have a button which when half pressed it focuses, and when pressed fully, it takes the picture. That is why microsoft requires every WP7 phone to have a shutter key.
What he means by camcorder and camera is that use the camcorder to focus on the picture, and then quickly switch to camera and take the picture while the camera is still focused on the scene.
Ahh yer you're right. The camera does not focus at anytime & uses what the camcorder was last focused at.
So to focus the camera, just press the camcorder button and let it focus then switch back to camera, this may not work in a night-club, lol.
Or pre-focus with the camcorder until the camera is used, best on infinity?
Whats needed is another button to act as the HD7 shutter button does when pressed half way to focus, or force the camera to maintain autofocus all the time like the camcorder.

Disclaimer 1: I'm not a developer.
Disclaimer 2: I searched and didn't find a similar app
In searching for applications to improve the results from my wife's iPhone camera, I came across a few iPhone apps that cleverly use the accelerometer to assist in picture taking -- namely they wait until the accelerometer registers the fact that the phone has stopped moving before triggering the shutter.
It seems to me that a similar application would work on the Diamond/Touch Pro/HD -- once the "shutter button" has been pressed, the camera autofocuses, and then waits for a "steady" moment to finish taking the picture.
Again, I'm a UI/Tech Specs type of person, so I don't know how open the camera api is. That said, it seems, in theory, that this should work and wouldn't be to tough to do (hell, they managed to do it on the iPhone).
What do you think?

Have you really noticed a difference on iPhone with this program?
here you go buddy
this may solve ur problem

That's an interesting app, but not quite the same thing. While it's nice that it lets you level the shot, it doesn't look like it uses the accelerometer to trip the shutter. So the hand shake potential is still there.
As far as the Steadycam app, it helps. It isn't going to turn the iPhone into a digital camera replacement, but it does assist low light pictures.
Here's a review of two of the iPhone Apps I've been playing with:

Camera Focus Unwrapped:
http://www.fuzemobility.com/camera-focus-unwrapped/
Hello. For some time now I have been getting frustrated with the standard camera/camcorder for my SGS.
I will point out some of the main things I dislike
Lack of features
It's hard to take pictures or start recording unless you look at the screen to see where the button is located to initiate it
Camera closes after idle for too long
Screen controls are too close together
Files do not save if you accidentally press the back button while recording
I have searched Google, forums and the market to try and find a replacement with no success
I would love to have camera/camcorder replacement that has the following
The biggest feature for me would be to have the ability to use either of the Home/Volume/Power buttons to use the camera/camcorder at least for Record, Pause, Stop and taking pictures
This would make it so much easier to use it without having to always look at the screen to make sure you are pressing the right area and will also eliminate accidentally pressing the wrong button
For example
Home key could be used for taking pictures and start recording video pressing it again will pause it and long holding it will stop the recording and auto save.
Volume will be for zoom and power button could possible take pictures and long holding for toggle night mode or something like that
I dunno about you but I find this configuration to feel natural
In the menu there should also be the option to exit camera/camcorder as some people use home key for this instead of backing out and the home button will already have a use
All settings can be controlled via touchscreen such as:
Option to toggle the camera/camcorder from closing on idle
Image/Shooting mode
All other general settings
If anyone else thinks this is a good idea or has any further input on making this better please post something
If there is a dev out there wanting a challenge please post Perhaps if enough people are interested in raising some funds there could be a bounty
P.S I wasn't sure if I should post this in Themes and Apps or here
Sould be possible i think, Power btn already done a thing : it lock screen without stop recording...
Also cyanogenmod as a great camera app, wait for it...
Surely there is something else out there other then the cyanogenmod one.

- i hate the factory camera
I'm shocked that I'm the only one talking about this. Shame on everyone lol
Ill complain a bit too
I dislike the focus of the samsung app. Even in macro mode, you take an object from a 5cm distance and tap to focus..
it's going to focus well then lose focus. Even if take the picture when the focus is correct, it's going to output a blurred unfocused pic
The only "solution" is to take pictures with at least 10cm distance, or 15. But the camera seems to be able to picture much closer.. so it's annoying
Wow. People actually use the onboard camera? Camera 360 is what I've replaced my stock app with. But sadly stock samsung app is prob the best camera app from any dev/phone maker. What you need is a decent small camera like a canon ixus

I have not heard of 360 *Checks it online* - To tell you the truth I don't mind the camera.... I guess I really just want to be able to use the home button to initiate take picture, start recording, pause and long hold for stop. Maybe there is a way to change something in the file hmmmmm surely a smart dev would know
I tried Vignette and Camera 360 Pro, well the 360 programs doesn't cut it, the interface is horrible and buggy.
Vignette is quite ok however - the focus works. It's missing the directional focus from the samsung app however, although I can live with it of course. Vignette also saves jpegs that are less compressed/higher quality.
To be honest i'd be just fine with Samsung's app if the focus worked fine in macro mode, and the jpegs were higher quality (maybe even make the pano mode high resolution )
Mostly because the controls/settings/etc are much better in the Samsung app.
Now since it's proprietary, not much we can do about these issues I guess xD (the button can prolly be hacked in tho)

Hey i just wanted to know if there is a way to focus the camera in wp7 becouse it's all blurry?
Yes im having the same problem
camcorder is working fine
Unless we get a sort of focus implementation like in android then it's just like that. The camera was designed to have a button which could be half pressable to focus, and then when pressed in fully, takes the picture. Obviously we don't have a button like that so, a touch sort of focus needs to be implemented for us, until then, pictures will be blurry for now.
Wonder if a person could create a double tap to take a picture app..

'double tap' amazing idea!
Solution to problem
Quick'n'dirty Workaround to Autofocus:
1. Before taking the picture, switch to video mode
2. Wait for the camera to refocus ~1 second - you will see the image sharpness change
3. Switch back to camera mode and take your picture
This works because the camera will simply retain the focus distance that the video camera set.
So, until Microsoft implements touch-focus (which they really should) we could just use this.

quick you have to be like lightning to take a picture as it starts un-focusing straight away.
By the time you press the button you have moved the phone so its blurred & camera is already out of focus.
Must be an easier way.
Please please please someone design a fix for the camera.
I loved the panoramic shot aswell on hd2 but everything is gone.
Video is great but camera is poor.
Thank you
Before taking a picture toggle between photo and video mode. That fixes the autofocus issue. Not an ideal solution but an alternative nonetheless
maybe its can help for developers :
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/151485/Hacking-the-WP7-Camera-The-basics.aspx
Maybe a possible solution could be map the focus function (the half click) in another button?
I think the solution is because we don't have a two position button is to do touch the screen to focus and then take the shot. But that probably requires a lot of coding.
Until this is sorted, I think its a major flaw with HD2 and WP7
Use the camera a lot, unless its bright sunlight the camera just will not focus.
Luckily I can dual boot, lets hope for a fix of some application that uses touch screen to focus
It's possible the focus could be mapped to one of the volume buttons within the Camera app.
This would likely depend on the half-press on native WP7 systems having its own key mapping, separate from the full-press, and the Camera app listening for each keymapping separately. We'd just need to hack the keymapping for the half-press to the volume button. This is, of course, if WP7 still deals with keymapping the way earlier versions did.
Also, if the Camera app treats the camera button as some kind of special case, and rather than 2 mappings for half- and full-press, it has a single mapping, it'll likely need a major rewrite to support focus on the HD2.
Fingers crossed it's just a case of searching the code for keypress 0xC1 and replacing it with 0x76 (for example).

640x480 is not good enough.
It will be unlikely we'll be able to map this app to replace the internal Camera app completely.
Will 3rd party apps, like barcode readers, be able to use this app?
Hexediting the native Camera app and changing the key mapping, and cooking it into a new ROM would be much better.
That app shows promise, though.
Dont know if this helps, but here is another solution that claims to fix HTC HD2 cam running WP7. no camcorder though.. http://aliwaqas.info/shcamera-fixes-camera-issues-on-htc-hd2-running-windows-phone-7-xap/

Autofocus works PERFECT!
For recording videos, just use the original camera app.

Well one solution if we are to implement focusing through buttons instead of touch, is that we have the call button when held down, focus, and then the camera will take the picture after we've released the call button.

That's the behavior I thought would be appropriate too.
A touch screen focus would be even better, cause it would allow, like on WinMo 6.5, to focus wherever we want on the picture. But it would require a more coding than just adding a press-to-focus/release-to-shoot behavior.
The SHCameraApp is nice, but its resolution is limited, and it would be nicer to have a single, integrated app to do the photos and videos. Nonetheless, it's a nice workaround for the time being.
Hello, all!
This is a little specific, but I was hoping that perhaps other LG G6 users could help me test for this problem to figure out whether it's affecting all the phones/firmwares or is specific to mine.
Basically what happens is that in any camera app, except the native one, if you use specific manual settings (so, through the Camera2 API) there's a bug that changes the value on its own. Perhaps the easiest way to check it is using Open Camera:
1) Switch to video mode (camera choice does not matter).
2) Pick the exposure icon, set ISO to 50 and shutter speed to 1/20
3) Start recording video...
4) On my device after 5-10 seconds of recording the screen turns black (or nearly black) as the exposure speed drops to ~1/10000.
Touching the screen to refocus fixes it for a moment, then it jumps back to ~1/10000.
Basically ISO50, shutter range 1/20-1/30 will cause this. I have seen this in any app that allowed manual settings, like Open Camera, ProShot, Hedgecam 2, AZ Camera, Footej camera etc. Some of them turn black, others just crash/freeze. Sounds like an API bug to me.
I'm on Android version 8.0.0, Software version: V20c-EUR-XX installed through OTA.
Would really appreciate if someone could also try this.
My minimum shutter speed is 1/30... This with stock camera........ Stock oreo by OTA v20c.
No problem with recording.

Thanks for taking the time to check, but the stock camera works ok. It's the others that have this problem. Like Open Camera or HedgeCam2. The reason I want to use those is they recently added an option to change image processing (noise reduction, edge enhancement) so if you turn those down and film video with them you actually get nice, natural looking video and not the overprocessed watercolor look that the stock camera (and most other apps) provide. And if we go for a "cinematic" 24fps look then the Shutter speed could often be 1/24 or so.
Since I have seen some threads looking for a way to get cleaner video I'll attach two snapshots from a video - one with stock camera (and those crazy cartoon edges) and another from HedgeCam 2.
Camera on my 6t focuses initially, ( when screen touched ) but after "fire" button is pressed, goes out of focus an instant before capturing image. Image is indeed out of focus.
This happens on all of the camera apps I've tried, but does not happen when capturing images within Google Voice, which I use for messaging.
I've looked for info on this problem online, and although I've found a number of other problems mentioned, I've seen nothing on this, specifically.
Screen recording and video below illustrates the problem. Any insights into this issue greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the delay. I wasn't monitoring this thread.
I loaded Open Camera, which seems to provide a solution. In the main camera screen, there is a camera icon with a "+". This allows you to select a specific Camera, though I'm not sure exactly what is being "selected". Cameras 2 and 3 seem to work, while Camera 1 has this focus issue.
In addition, in the camera settings, there is an option to select "Camera API". Camera 2 API allows manual focus, something I was looking for. Let me know if this helps...

Amazing, that made my day. OpenCamera lets me use either the bottom or the top camera but also the combination of both to produce a blur effect in a similar way to the stock ROM. I didn't think that was possible without stock.
Up until now I would just reboot my phone and the out of focus issue was gone for a little while. This is much better though.
It makes me wonder : I also sometimes have an issue with the flash where the timing is just ever so slightly wrong, i.e the photo is taken just a split second after the light flash, which effectively gives the same result as if the flash was turned off. Again, a reboot fixes it temporarily. Does any of you also have this issue ?
