hi,
wouldn't it be great, if we could use our diamond as video surveillance system?
the app just needs two options:
- select whether the front or the back camera is to be taken for recording
- select whether to record to internal storage, or the video to be sent by wifi to a pc for example.
while recording (surveilling), the screen of the diamond should be black (or off).
is there such an app existing? or can someone write this piece of software?
what do you think about this idea ?
sounds like a good idea but i dont know how easy it would be to code
Do these sites help at all? I just did a google search...
This is the one that I use, http://vannara.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/pocket-pc-phone-as-webcam-or-surveillance-camera/... takes a bit of playing but does work.
Or have a look at these:
This software alows you to control cameras in your home remotely, http://www.camerasecuritynow.com/CCTV-DVR/CCTV-PDA.asp, very cool!
This one the work computer has blocked me viewing, however sounds good on Google, www.filecluster.com/Security/Keylogger-Monitoring/Download-Spy-Camera-Software-2009.html.

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"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"OemName"="HTC"
"MODeviceName"="HD7 T9292"
"OEMDeviceName"="Schubert"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"FriendlyName"="HTC HD7"

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.
i cant turn off the camera shutter and focus sound...i tried to replace the camera files in ui folder with silent ones and didn't work..and tried deleting the whole folder and didn't work..tried root apps from play store and still !!
the only app worked is camera mute which is actually mute the phone while in camera application and i didnt like that
there should be an option in the camera settings to turn off the camera shutter sound, unless it's different for the international models?
Check this thread in the General forum.

You need to have Root, but there's a code you can add to your CSC files to enable it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
There is an app to turn of camera shutter sound in note 3. It does not require root. PM me for the link [New members can't post links]
There are multiple ways to disable this "feature". Here in EU it isn't allowed to have cameras that don't make sounds when taking a picture because you could sneak pictures from people and so. Basically, the option to turn off sound is implemented in the camera software. But the files initiallizing the app on start up tell the software to show or hide this option. That said, you can try to use an app to disable the stock app sound, you can manually change settings in the files that tell the camera what to do (as easy as adding a line of text or even just changing one bit from 0 to 1 or vice versa) or you can use an Xposed module like wanam where there's an option for this that can easily be toggled.
So far I haven't heard of a method that works if you're not rooted, so root seems to be mandatory if you want to do this.
If root isn't your thing, check out other picture taking apps in google play. There are certainly apps that allow to disable shutter sound, and some of those apps provide more/better camera functionality than the stock app. Dpreview.com is a great photography site which also has a mobile phone section called connect. There you get in depth reviews on phone's cameras and apps from a photographers point of view.
Hello every one! Hope you're having a great day
I'm here because I need your help To make a long story short, until I can save enough to buy a new proper camera, I'm stuck with my P9 Lite, which cannot save pictures as RAW/DNG files. This feature is provided by Google's Camera2 API, which my phone doesn't have/support. Four questions:
1. Is it possible to install Camera2 API on my phone, through a custom ROM?
2. Is it possible to install a custom ROM without losing on the initial image quality provided by my phone's camera?
3. In theory, could this API be enabled by a future software update? Or does it only have to do with how the phone was originally conceived?
4. Even if I managed to get the API on my phone, would it be possible to make it fully supported, and would I be able to save RAW/DNG files even if my phone originally doesn't offer this option?
Thank you very much!
P.S: I've never thought of "flashing" a custom ROM on my phone, this issue is the only reason why I'm considering it. As you may have noticed by my way of explaining things, I'm a five year old when it comes to informatics, and I'd probably be the first in line to buy Smartphone Software For Dummies. As much as I admire how technical and specialised you can get about a science that goes way beyond my understanding abilities, if you can keep things slow and simple, as if you were talking to an actual five year old, I'd be very grateful

Can't you just install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera on stock ROM? I think the camera2 api should be available.
Thank you for replying! The application supports Camera2 API, but if the API is not available on my phone in the first place, I don't think the application will work...According to my researches, the API is like, let's say, a camera: if your phone doesn't have a camera, you could install as many camera apps as you want, your phone still won't take any pictures...What I need is a way to add a camera to my phone - in our case, the API - so that I can start taking pictures - in our case, saving RAW/DNG files. Also, I might be wrong.

So the app doesn't work? I can't test it cause I am not on stock.
Just tried open cam on stock rom and I can capture RAW dng files, so it seems like camera2 is supported try it out!
UPDATE: Enable "Use alternative flash method" in photo settings if it won't take pictures when camera2 is enabled.
Open camera is pretty buggy on this phone when shooting RAW. Try "Footej camera", seems to work better
yaa but for footej need to pay to have fully featured. I payed for this but for m there is no diference to open camera.
I didn't say that Footej is better than open camera. Just that open camera often bugs for me when using camera2 - eg nothing happens when pressing camera button.
Sry for reviving the thread, is there any way to increase max shutter speed in camera2 api? I'm really interested in shooting some raw stuff but apps like Opencamera or Adobe Lightroom won't allow me to set over 1 second shutter speed (apart from the built-in camera app that allows up to 8 secs, but without raw support...) so it's a pain in the butt if I want to take raw pictures at night.
Using the stock Marshmallow Emui
The Lightroom app has a built in camera which can shoot RAW, I tried it and it works flawlessly.
Camera API2 *IS* present on p9 lite and *DOES* work.

Yup it does, but shutter speed cannot be set over 1 second (see the screenshot), that means night photos end up being very noisy since I need to drastically increase iso. The default camera app allows much longer shutter time, that's why I'm wondering what's wrong
If it was possible to set it to like 10 secs in the Lightroom app, the camera would be damn great

Full. Does it work for you?
Also I heard that official Nougat brings raw support to the built-in camera, can anyone verify that? I might wanna update in that case

I Know This Is Quite Old But In Case Someone Is Still Wondering;
I'm Using Stock Nougat Firmware On My P9 Lite And It Does Support Raw Format, But You Have To Root The Phone And Enable Raw/DNG Format In Some System Files
Currently just trying out open camera, is this the best? Clearly the ZTE camera software is terrible, the image processing looks like its been handled by my 1985 Casio calculator.

Hi. I've been using this, much more controls/settings. Even turned on HDR. NO ADS EITHER!
Open Camera is a fully featured and completely free Camera app for Android phones and tablets. Features:
* Option to auto-stabilize so your pictures are perfectly level no matter what (see example image).
* Expose your camera's functionality: support for focus modes, scene modes, color effects, white balance, ISO, exposure compensation/lock, face detection, torch.
* Video recording (including HD).
* Handy remote controls: timer (with optional voice countdown), auto-repeat mode (with configurable delay).
* Option to take photo remotely by making a noise (e.g., voice, whistle), or by voice command "cheese".
* Configurable volume keys.
* Optimise GUI for left or right-handed users.
* Zoom via multi-touch gesture and single-touch control.
* Option to lock orientation to portrait or landscape for photo or video. Upside-down preview option for use with attachable lenses.
* Choice of save folder (including support for Storage Access Framework).
* Disable shutter sound.
* Overlay a choice of grids and crop guides.
* Optional GPS location tagging (geotagging) of photos and videos; for photos this includes compass direction (GPSImgDirection, GPSImgDirectionRef).
* Apply date and timestamp, location coordinates, and custom text to photos; store date/time and location as video subtitles (.SRT).
* Yes you can take a selfie (also known as front camera), includes support for "screen flash".
* Support for (some) external microphones.
* Widget to automatically take a photo after launching.
* Support for Camera2 API: manual focus distance; manual ISO; manual exposure time; RAW (DNG) files.
* Support for HDR and Exposure Bracketing (Camera2 only).
* Dynamic range optimisation mode.
* Small file size.
* Completely free, and no ads in the app
Since ZTE did not implement Camera2 support, third pary apps do not handle it well. The only good option is the native camera app. Image processing is bad yes, but if you care about your photos, shoot them in RAW and do the processing yourself. That can get you some impressive results, on par with the hardware really. Hopefully the next update will fix the autofocusing problem.
How do I shoot in Raw mode on this thing?
I'd rather have a larger file size but a better result.

If you are on the US version of the phone, go to manual mode, settings and enable raw. (you have to shoot in manual mode but can leave all settings auto). If your device is the A2017G version or you use a custom rom, you would have to flash the US camera app from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/themes/zte-camera-flashable-zip-t3553638
Or, if you cannot flash, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the G version implements the american camera improvements.
I'm not sure what the situation is with the chinese version of the device

Flashing the camera zip won't bring raw support on G devices running marshmallow/nougat roms for G devices...
I think it's a kernel-dependent feature. There's so little information about this...I'm waiting for nougat just for this, but I don't want to lose Xposed either

Oh ok. I assumed it would work on Nougat stock rom, if flashed. It does work on LineageOS A2017G

Well, I'm not rooted, and have no plans to currently, so maybe raw mode will come at some point.
If not.....I'll live with it.

You don't need to root the phone to install TWRP and flash the zip. But you do need to unlock the bootloader.
Yep, I know
I've done all that in the past, flashing ROM after ROM.
I totally understand why people do it, I was one of them....it's just that's all gone for me now, just want to use the phone.
I'll sideload and apk, but that's about it for me now

Mike did you try it? I'm gonna try one of them. My major problem is when I take a photo in a WhatsApp chat, it opens ok and takes the pic, but then freezes for a while on the photo. If I hit back or try to type or select a function, nothing​ happens. However the home and recent apps keys work. Actually if I snap the pic then hit recent apps right away then reselect WhatsApp, I can immediately use tools or type. Makes no sense to me, but maybe someone can tell what's happening. For now will try one of the suggested apps.
