@ robboy, sorry you might habe missunderstud me. I did try it and I show you the pics today:
Picture 1: without the patch; Settings camera: "auto" and more field sensor
Picture 2: with patch and ; Settings camera: "auto" and more field sensor
Picture 3: with patch and ; Settings camera: "auto" and whole field sensor [ ]
You can see how foggy the first picture is.
PS: You can see the different a lot better in 2MB size, but this is to large for the forum.
By the way, it was easy to find a patch. I had to hardreset my phone. After all i found out, that my extended_ROM is empty. So I downloaded the extended_ROM from here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Artemis/Extended_ROMs/ and used winrar to unpack it.
What I also found is, a T-M*bi*e Rom, the sensor patch was packed in there. I had nothing to loose so I tried it.
Before I posted it in here, I did send it to 2 different people to let me know what they think. They were enthused.
So let me know what you guys think about the sensor patch.

So let me know what you guys think about the sensor patch.

My personal opinion... I think you are faking it all.
Why?
ALL three pictures are the same when you look left and right of it.
No one can be THAT precise with a mobile camera without a stand.
There isn't an inch difference on either side of the pictures.
I think this is done by either PaintShop or PhotoShop.

I don't know if he is faking it, but these pictures are different. Maybe you are kidding you don't see people on the right side of first picture (and they disappear on second picture). And look close the door of small building on the right - on first and second picture this part look different.

thats wrong,
if you look right the pictures, you will see in the first one in the upper right side and transporter and every picture is an unique print.
all pictures were made in an other vantage point.
ciao

This is getting no where,backup your phone and THEN install the app,try it out , if you are not happy with the result restore from your backup(Once installed you can't remove the app from the remove programs window)
Personally i've installed it and haven't had any problems yet,i'll print some of the pics i took before and after and see if there is a difference.
Thru the viewfinder they look the same.

At first, these pics are definetly not faked. We tried the patch now on 4 phones. MY Friends are satisfight with the results. these pics are made all from the same position, holded by my hand at the wall.
For all the pessimistic doubters:
Here are the pics in the original Size.

You didn't look very closely at the pictures did you? They are obviously all different...

I have this patch installed for ages now and it comes with GER extended ROM ... I cannot say that it does drastically improves the pic quality, but surely it does a little.

Exactly a little! But this little is exactly the big different.
Unfortunatley it is only in the T-Mobile Phone MDA III
Why dont we read any camera problems with those T-Mobile Phone MDA III phones? Because the patch works far enough to get better results.
By the way, you get those Extendet ROM here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Artemis/Extended_ROMs/ just use winrar to upack it.
Download both: the German XDA ORBIT one from O2 and the GER from T-Mobile. There is the different.I think T-Mobile is a much bigger company than O2 and they have there own programmers to get better solutions.
I am interested in your pictures. Before and after:
And if anone think still these pics are faked, use picasa ore an exif reader to see details of the pic.

i made a big mistake in installing the camera fix without take a backup (didnt know how to backup )
I also get pictures like the before, they are a bit too blue, but the pics i take after the fix are with stribes and black areas are with green pixels
can somebody help me out with the original camera cab ? Got an XDA Orbit
Thx for Help.

camera panorama app

Is there any camera app out there that can take pictures in full res in panorama mode? if there isnt then itd be a nice idea for another community app n the pictures neednt be stitched together as ive read thats the main problem due to memory constraints.

The AT&T Tilt has it built in as one of it's camera modes. Maybe there's a way to pull it off there.

the builtin ones don't take pics in full resolution in panorama mode... my hermes has a builtin one too but it only shoots in VGA for panorama mode.

this can be done by editing the registry!
HKLM/Software/HTC/camera/P3 i think, could be another Px.
change the MainCamCaptSize to 1024 and the MainCamSupportCaptSize to 1744.
BUT BE CARFULL!!! Don´t use it with 6 pics because you can get a problem with memory!

Well you're lucky, my samsung omnia will only take up to qvga in panorama :'(
I'll check out the registry see if I can tweak that !

nope didnt work didnt use those exact values instead used the ones that were for the normal full res camera... 1024 etc warent anywhere(not even corresponding to the full camera... full cam used 512 n 724)
An app that just shows the last shot pic 25-30% faded on any one selectable side, n saves all the panorama pics(of one set) separately... would be just ideal....

[Question] Improve the Today background image quality

Hi here
Is there a solution to get a full quality image for background in today tab ?
Actually, when you set a pircture, even from an Hi-quality or 800*480 picture, the image is downgraded to lower resolution and higly compressed (?)
I dodn't found thread about that, if i miss it, sorry.
Thanks

i dnt think there is a way to gt it the quality ur after. u can trycropping the image, sum hv reportd it helps. other ways of doing it is by editing sum manila file.
u'll prob gt a more informed response soon lol.
if there is a succesful wsy of doing it, id b vry interested in knowing how, as current quality is kind of rubbish..

Hi !
If you convert your "jpg" image to "png", you will see a great difference !

Hi
Euh... nop.
It seems the picture is converted automatically by TouchFlow3D before to be placed.
Ass compresse texture... even if source is Jpeg (already compressed) or PNG (really better quality)

Do a search and you will see about 3 threads talking about this problem.
In one the threads, an email from HTC had mentioned that it was downgraded for performance issues or something like that and it wasn't possible.

Macro mode in camera?

I have an HTC AT&T Pure running duttys R10 rom.
everythings great but in camera mode I have no macro mode (little flower) for shooting up close pictures. I've searched all over this forum and the web and have found no mention of a macro mode for this phone's camera. Except review mentions of "with macro mode for up close shots" etc.
With a 5 megapixel camera I would figure that such a mode would be possible but I cannot find it or a way to make it appear.
any ideas? am I just asking too much of my Topaz?

So just like everywhere else? Nobody has any idea?

My personal view is that the auto focus does a very good job of focusing at around 6-8 cm from the subject. Thus not needing the macro (flower icon). My Samsung WB1000 focuses only very slightly nearer than 6cm and thats in macro mode but dues to wide lens on the unit it coin still seems further away.
Attached are photos, infact I would say that the Diamond 2 gets closer to the coin but does not hold as much detail.
I have not tried this with my DSLR but it would depend on which lens I used.
Diamond 2 photo on the right

To enable Macro Mode navigate in registry to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General\MacroMode=>1

OMG!!! sweet.. thx bruce.. ill try that now and see if that works.. or is what im looking for..
EDIT: Seems to be working better. Close up pics are clearer that autofocus.. thx again.
Id say this tread is done.. lol

Sorry, not sure how to force to RAW format.

I just applied Bruces Reg suggestion, and don't see any Macro setting, after resetting. Will it just automatically go to Macro when close up? This site is a great source of info!

It should open the control panel within the software, giving you the flower icon for close ups.
Recheck the key and see if it stayed = 1.

Yes, it stayed at 1. Hmmm. I'll take some close up pics, and see how they come out.

Z3C rom for Z1C ?

What you think, is it possible?

I'm not a dev but I will enjoy having it on my Z1C
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app

You're our main dev for Z1C, anything would become possible if you contribute in it

munjeni said:

Of course it's possible. It might even be easy because the manifacturer of the phones is the same and they have a really similar hardware. In order to port Z3C ROM to our Z1C we have to:
1 Extract system from Z3C FTF.
2 Deodex it (advisable).
3 Edit build.prop so that it matches our proprieties.
4 Replace their kernel and modules with ours.
5 Replace their system/lib/hw and system/lib/egl with ours.
If we are lucky enough we'll get a booting ROM, otherwise we'll have to debug it.
At the moment I think to have neither the time nor the experience to do it, but maybe I can help.
I wish good luck to everyone who tries to port it! :victory:

Anybody here have colected diferencie in hardware between Z1C and Z3C ? Only I have found is procesor is diferent (new model), not searched for other things. What is diferent there?

About egl I'm not sure: their gpu is an Adreno 330 but is clocked at a higher frequency. If I'm not wrong, hw directory also contains libraries that rely on the processor that is not the same.

Z3 Compact Russian ROM is available for download.... :smile:

or any other through XperiFirm

Hm, you are right, we will need to replace gralloc and other things, probably cam libs will not work too, and allso probably sensors too since diferent digitizer... etc.
Maybe we can port some smalis at least. Anybody know what is new feature in z3c rom which not exist on z1c?

noob question but couldn't we just use the porting method for z1 roms ?

I've heard the z1 compact don't have this module for tab 2 wake like the normal z1. That's why there's till now no tab 2 wake feature.. I miss this feature so much..
Apps like gravity are great but not the same..

Pardon me for diverting the topic but could anyone port One Plus One's CM11S for our beloved Z1c? pretty please

Tab2wake is a feature (from lg) :
When screen is off you just tab onto the display and the screen goes on. (No button needed.. )
That's why it calls Tab2wake

Anybody have idea do we have kernel events from touch screen while device screen is off? If we have events than thats an easy thing making tap2wake trought kernel module

tap to wake was ported to z1 with kernel mods link bellow. i think i read somewhere that the z1 compact screen wont be able to use this feature
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699803
also i tested z3 setting on my phone i seen a option for Intelligent backlight (the screen stays on while you are looking at it

The touchscreen from z 1 compact does not support the hardware-side wake-up gesture mode. Z1 and z ultra do support it. That's our problem.

Considering that most of the new features in Z3c rely on different hardware - stupid question: what is the point of porting the ROM to Z1c?
