[Q] HTC HERO VanillaEclair 6.1 Camera - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hello, i just intalled a 6.1 VanillaEclair on my hero. And i enjoy it very much, I get everything that i need now from my phone, speed, calls and sms messages. The only thing that bugs me and i cant find any help within google'ing it is the camera. It's ruggedly awfull. So I'm wondering maybe anyone could help me with replacing the 2.1 Camera with something newer and better?

IMO sense has the best camera out of them all >_> but I've heard good things about paper camera and camera 360 might wanna try those out cause yea default ASOP rom camera apps are awful

Thats good. I will try it soon.

Market with Kings Desire

Hey,
I've tried all of the builds and I can't seem to find Fx Camera Zoom...
Is there something I need to do to fix the market?
T
bump for some help
Im having similar issues. I can't get drocap2 in the market. I have to use a backup of it I have.
thats a deal breaker for me... its hard enough to find exceptional apps, and now not even be able to..
can you think of a fix??
i transfered the camer fx apk from my comp to the desire rom.
It can be started and running but would crash when i wanna take a photo..
guess we just need to wait for the desire rom for nexus to be stable or if htc decided to have sense UI officially ported to N1...
Whatever rom you are using ask in Cook's thread, will get much better results. Can always PM the cook as well

[Q] Camera blacking out at every ROM ?! [No solution]

ok i had my X8 about a month ago and since then i tried every ROM that's out there literally. Recently i settled to froyobread for about 10 days and now floyo 0.25
my problem in both is the cam after taking a few shots, the camera screen black out or the cam button dies on me and i really hate it
i take a lot of pictures and i just hate it when the prefect shot gets lost because of a stupid glitch. i can give away EdgeGlow if there is a ROM that has a fully working cam with no bugs.
the reason for the thread is to ask u X8 users instead of going all over the ROMs again ( i still have them all ) to see the stable cam, Could anyone tell me what's the best ROM to take pictures with?? and please don't tell me to go back to Eclair (2.1)
thank u all

ok just to make everyone aware, the problem is persistent even in market cam apps, i tried all the above apps. i guess it's the hardest if not impossible to operate the cam blindly just by guessing parameters in custom roms; gingerbread now is a live example.
anyway i would never back to eclair so i'll have to deal with that bug for now.

like i said i tried all the ROMs but then i wasn't testing all the things but i remember ditching minicm because the power gadget looked like it lacked some colors or scaled up. i guess it's because of the screen size difference between X8 and X10 mini. however i remember the beautiful animations especially for boxes popping up.
just plz confirm that i can take like 10 shots in succession (say with 1 sec delay) without the cam bugging on me
Forget the stock camera apps and use Camera Illusion.
It´s better, doesn´t have errors and has great effects, like negative and that stuff.
I do experienced the same thing..
try other alternative. I'm using Camera Advance Lite, it works perfect.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite
This is the same thing which happens with me. I tried using alternative camera apps like vignette but still the same problem.
After some shots, the camera just blacks out and you cannot take any pics after that until a reboot is made.

anyway i have to try, i can't just give away my 3.2 MP cam
i'm having the very same problem after few shots is taken the camera just blacks out and the cam app needs to be restarted to make the camera work again and this problem was in every single custom rom i ever tried including the minicm and the froyobread i'm surprised that some of you actually DOESN'T experience this problem......

i think this bug is not camera app related maybe it's a bug in the camera library....

Graphic glitches and Camcorder lags.

Just waiting for my HD2 to arrive and trying to look up the best sense rom. Preferably want Gingerbread!
However after looking it seems nearly all roms maybe even the froyo ones suffer from the same two issues. Camcorder lags and graphic glitches. I appreciate that this device was never meant to run android but I would like to find the most solid sense rom I can.
Oh and do all roms suffer from green tint when using flash too?
Ephumuris
froyo sense roms has no problem. you can use rafdroid,cmylxgo hd,or frankinstine hd or imilka hd roms.
OK I will use one of them as my stable rom then. However I know I can't resist trying a pyramid rom. Camcorder issue I may be way behind but I wonder if it is to do with media profiles xml? Maybe we can use Froyo camera app and set to use old libs? I guess I'll have a go myself once my HD2 arrives!
Thanks for the quick reply!
Ephumuris
Yes glitches I can live with but the camcorder I really need...
How bad are these glitches? There has got to be a way to fix camcorder eventually!
Ephumuris
in newer versions the glitches have lessened. but camcorder really lagges,just because of that i left sense-3 and went to froyo again.in addition to these power button doesn't work but there are workarounds for this.but you can try them just as i did and you can decide whether you can live with them

I already know I can live without power button that's fine for me. A widget will do. Camcorder I would like to try and fix due to me having a little girl I like to video her when i can!
Is it any better with external apps like LG Camera?

Well, I've read somewhere in a Sense3-Rom's Thread that the camcorder doesn't lag when set to a less quality.
And if I were to use a sense 3 Rom, I'd give up the Cam and Camcorder, and use a "graphics fix" (which kills camera) and a "Power" fix.
So I'd come up with a ROM that only misses the Camera, which is fine to me.
Well, after a while glithes gone (not by themself but due to efforts of developers of course ), but camcorder still lags. I think there are lots of HD2 users dreaming about camcorder without lags as a New Year gift from Santa (again not wihout devs help).

Its me again .
Here is a link to the only Ginger rom with Sense with camcorder without lags.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197751
May be developers take a look into it and port the camcorder to other ginger roms or use some parts for the fixing of lags.
Is that possible?
YES!
I am also waiting for no lag camcorder ROM.

DESIRE camera apk

Hi guys,
I was backing up mu photos the other day and realized my camera shots from my stock, non rooted days were much better.
First, yes I am on a sense ROM, and yes I searched both XDA and google.
Does anyone have the stock camera apk from the official ROMs froyo or gingerbread? I wouldn't mind testing to see if the "old" cameras really were better.
I rarely use my phone for video, but lots for pics. I do not want opinions on what ROM has a better camera, just the stock one so that I can do a backup, test the old one, and compare images.
Once I have the old apk, I will even post comparison photos if anyone else is interested.
Thanks
Umm I think the problem is not HTCcamera.apk
In my opinion the problem is GB kernel
maybe you should download a stock rom nad just take the cam apk out of it ?
+1 for this.. I have the same feelings about photos but I never actually compared.
There's also the ol' scratches on the battery cover's lens issue.. Have you checked that yet? Didn't really specify in what way your new photos are not as good..
The problem is GB with sense, if you want better pictures then use a froyo sense rom or if you want GB you can try Miui or CM 7.10 roms, all the others they make dark pictures when using the flash in the dark.
Thanks for the replies guys, I have the official Telus Froyo ROM but as an RUU. I'll download a rooted stock froyo ROM and do 2 things,
1. Pull the apk and try with my current GB ROM
2. Backup, flash a rooted stock froyo and test.
And yes, I did think of the scratched cover thing, I removed the cover and took pics.......they still lok like sh** compared to my old stock froyo photos.
It migt be a GB thing though, my photos from my LeeDroid froyo ROM days look way better as well.
Thanks again, when I have the time to do all the necaesary backing up, flashing and restoring I'll tack pics and test this out.

i don`t think the problem is gb sense
I agree that the original froyo camera has better quality but not that much better. I use miui and it has a fairly decent camera (with full screen 4mp). It doesn't have 720p video but the video is a lot smoother, tho still not much in terms of quality.
This probably doesn't really help anyone, but the Desire's camera isn't very good to begin with. Honestly, being a photography enthusiast, I am usually quite disappointed with the picture quality from the camera. My previous two phones are Sony Ericsson; A W810 followed by a W960. Despite the W810 having only 2MP and the W860 having 3.2MP, they still took FAR better pictures than the 5MP on the Desire. Especially with the W810, I was thoroughly impressed with it's picture quality and low light performance. Sure the Desire's photos look good on it's screen, but full size on a monitor typically leads to cringing.
I've been considering moving back to Sony phones, specifically the Arc (S). I just need to get some play time with one to test out the camera and ergonomics..
So you're saying that you're a photography enthusiast and you need a phone with a good camera. What do you need it for? An enthusiast always carries some sort of a true (dedicated) camera with him, be it a compact, dSLR or a SLR.
i have same problem after i rooted phone. i installed runnymede ROM but still quality of photographs are not same my first photographs with this phone, nothing changed:S

Try carrying an awkward couple of pounds around with you everywhere.. My phone is on me at all times anyway, so when I see something inspiring, I use what I have. I don't see any point in also carrying a point-and-shoot when I know that a commendable camera can be put into a phone (ie iphone4, Nokia 808) but typically isn't these days.
HtcCamera APK attatched
Attached HTC Camera APK but I dont know if it would do any good. From Runnymede AIO Special Edition.
Did it work?

Same question here...
Following this thread with interest because I know what the TS-er means. Pictures taken with a stock Froyo or GB rom have better quality and especially brighter flash in dark conditions.
I believe this to be kernel-related. My phone's on An-Droid 2.2.0 now (imho the best rom for our devices) and with the custom kernel that comes with it the camera's flash doesn't 'peak' at the moment a picture is taken. Flashing the stock kernel (or an snq one) changed this and now the camera flash is ok again.

If you use a port its normal i trink, but with most aosps pole cyanogenmod its the same for me
I have HTCCamera.apk from USCC froyo stock rom. I already try to install with adb push and reboot, but the camera app won't show up in app list. I want to change the camera.apk from CM7 because the result and features is not good enough. Can I use HTCCamera.apk in CM7?

Which custom rom should i use!

Hi guys,
have been using htc desire 816 for like 1.3 year and it is still working great , just some issues with camera ! anyone else having this problem ? I mean what you do to customize the setting for better performance? I see nowadays a lot of noise in the pictures and not very clear as well! Also thinking of giving the custom roms a try which one is best you think in case of performance & design
What are the must use app to make it stand out , as you can see the device is old and we have to compete with giant devices , so not buying those but using this one to come close in taking selfies and photos and using apps as well.
Also one last thing after the last lollipop update looks like the storage is eaten up by something how to increase the space like before! cause i can hardly install 20-22 apps in total and it fills up!
Thanks in advance and it's good to be back in xda after long time!
I wouldn't use any custom rom, there is no stable one for the device they'r all buggy as hell
use xposed and do w/e you want
as for the storage I use link2sd, it works
Resurrection remix is Fine.
If the camera is your main issue, use Z camera. Touch to focus-snap setting enabled makes It the best &quickest.
