I don't think it's possible - or at least in an easy way. The camera is most likely connected or inside the screen!

Can I see the specific tutorial please? If it can be replaced, you'd probably have to also modify the software to adjust or work with it.

I don't know a whole lot on this subject but I would think if you were rooted and installed a can that another droid tab runs, that you could install that driver and be good to go. Kind of like how devs got the cam working on the HP touchpad with cm9. Just my 2 cents.

Camera upgrade..?

Does anyone know if the crappy camera on O2 Mini (magician) can be upgraded/changed to a nokia camera or any other make camera that is better than the standard ones?
Yes - by getting a Nokia phone instead. All HTC devices have a crap camera, a no amount of firmware upgrade will help. Nor can you change the hardware. So either undderstand that this device has a mediocre camera - or get anothe model of phone with a better camera.

You might be able to.. someone who has access to lots spare parts of mobile phones may want to answer this... maybe not now but in the near future..

I understand.. but Im not getting another phone.. also theres nothing wrong with hoping..
The reason, I guess, that the guy was so hostile was because questions like this are ALWAYS asked on phone forums.
For instance, I used to have a SL45, and the questions that were asked over and over again were: "Can you upgrade the SL45 to colour screen, more memory, symbian operating system, polyphonic speaker".
The answer is always: maybe...if you understand how to completely change the insides of the phone...because it'll require more than just a quick swap-over to upgrade the camera. And, in any case, the average person probably doesn't have the knowledge to do it...and the ones that do probably think it's not worth their time.

[REQ] Program for taking time lapse photos?

Hi,
i was wandering if anyone knows of any software that replaces the standard 'Camera' program, allowing you to do time lapse photos, more effects etc?
i was thinking originally that it would just be for Diamond, but if anyone knows of any 'generic' software, that would be good too.
Cheers
Take a look here

Telus screen?!

I have a telus htc vogue with a broken screen, anyone know where I might find one? Out of pure boredom i would like to get it working.
Unfortunately they don't seem to have parts lying around for this device these days. A peek through craigslist showed that there are used htc touch's out there anywhere from $40-100 depending on the condition. Because the screen is one of those unwarrantied things that likely are expensive to repair/replace, I'm guessing it's almost better to replace?

Hey jamezelle,
I have a Vogue with a broken power button (in the main board) laying around. If you just need the screen, I can sell it to you for like $10 + shipping. The device works great otherwise, I just haven't got the time to fix this thing...

Verizon branded, but the device should be the same, right? I don't believe that the different branding calls for different screens... (could be wrong on this one).

Drivers are different, it seems...
Really?? Im planning on buying one, and as far as I can tell, they're the same . Never listed any specific requirements to use it. Maybe one of the drivers work better then the other, but the screen is still the same...

That's what I thought but jamezelle says that he had already tried it and the drivers don't match...

there are three different screen manufactures for the vogue screen meaning different drivers. i don't remember the manufacturers names off hand, but i know dzo's android kernel auto detects which screen you have and then uses the appropriate driver.

im still looking into if a new power button can be resoldered on and how hard that would be.

Run Apps in Windows

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is any sort of way to have apps open in windows instead of opening on the entire screen. I for some reason remember seeing something like this a while back but I don't know if I'm just having created memories or if I actually saw it.
Thanks for any help
Yea there is some company that tried to market it to OEMs for gingerbread a while back I believe. I haven't seen much recently on this accept that the ipad has a hack for jail-broken devices that allows this feature, so considering the floating apps android already supports and androids superior multitasking it should be possible if some really awesome devs work it into a ROM of find an incredible mod for stock ROMSs. This has always interested me so hopefully we can find how possible it is and maybe someone could get it done.
Edit;
Found the article on this, not as old as I thought, but it is still on an older version of Android.

Thanks for your reply. I was hoping it was already implemented somewhere. Maybe we will see it in the future of this device
There is an app for this?

Hope this helps mate, also if you give it a go, perhaps let us know how you get on with it?
Thanks

Aw =( it says it isn't Compatible with my device. Maybe it has to do with my DPI setting
Edit: No go. Would have loved it if it did work. I'll message the dev

same here mate(uk)
Yea, I have the overscreen browser and aircalc calculator, I had to sideload the browser from my transformer though as the nexus is unsupported. But I would still like to see a mod or ROM that allows this for all apps, much like this mod for the ipad.
