Camera Swap Technic - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Unsure this is being discussed before, but is that possible to get a 1.3MP camera and get it fixed to the back of our Xda IIs/Pda2k??

Not at this time...
I'm working on it.
I'm gathering all possible data to identifi what CMOS camera model is in Alpine.
Probably it would fit in Blueangel and has working WM2003SE drivers.

1.3mp camera on BA

Any suggestion if 1.3mp cam from magician ported into xda IIs could work?
Thanks in advance..
Maybe not...how can you modify the sensor chip from lower than 1.3 mgpixel into 1.3mgpixel? this is hardware not software dependent.
thank you Trek55.. i brought up this topic because the sensor on my o2 mini attach to the board using only ribbon cable... the sensor not soldered on the board... so if the xda IIs sensor were also using the same method and same cable it maybe possible... the problem is right now i don't xda IIs right now but i plan to get it next month...
thank you again....
I believe that actually it is possible. I have heard once of a camera driver with just the right interpolation algorithms that it will increase the camera resolution. I have a friend who did this with his HTC Himalaya, in Xda II form. His could achieve (from 0.3 Mpix/VGA, no less) 1.3 Megapixel resolution.
wow... that's good news... maybe i should do some experiment... i like xda IIs because i can use win mobile 2003 or 5.0... the spec is good enough... the camera is the only drawback...

Replace camera module

Hello, I've found ARTEMIS service manual, and I'm wondering if it's possible to replace camera module with a better one (i.e. CCD and more and 2 Mpx).
To me, Artemis's camera is one of the very few bad features about it.
What do you think?
Yeah I would be interested in that one too. Orbit's camera is one of the worst I ever had in a phone.
It would be great, but its probably easier to change a Nokia 95 (with a 5 MP lens) into a windows mobile device and put a touch screen on it!
I think that Artemis camera module (as for other HTC devices) is manufactured by Liteon.
It should be one of those modules listed here:
http://www.liteon-semi.com/_en/03_cmos/02_about.php?ID=3
It doesn't seem to me too much difficoult to replace the camera module, reading the service manual (btw, if you are interessed, you can get it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/61381502/Artemis_SM_AX03__0110.pdf ).
The main problem is to find a 3 or more Mpx module that has the same pin-out and is compatible
(but maybe the ones from liteon use all the same system).
Also software drivers could be an issue.
It's a pity, since those modules seems to be quite inexpensive, compared to the device price.
For example, this one:
http://tinyurl.com/2zw7kz
is a liteon CMOS Camera module used by HTC universal (1.3 Mpx) and it's just about 26$
could i have this service paper?
the RS link isnt working

I' m also interested in the service manual although the guy I know at the service point will not be pleased to discover I have found out the secret of his "power".

Question about porting difficulties

My question is for overall but I'm going to stick with one main example:
One thing that no Android port for Raphael has is camera support. Many HTC devices, WinMo and Android alike, have the same camera specifications, 3.2 megapixel with auto focus. It seems economical and logical to me that HTC would use the same exact camera make/model on multiple phones since by design they are going to share the same camera specifications anyway. In that case, shouldn't it be possible to use the Dream's camera driver?
Apparently my assumptions are wrong somewhere since we still have no camera support, so what exactly is going on?
Thanks!
.
the problem is there is no android drivers for the camera or the devs havn't sorted the the kernel yet,
like for the first couple months there was so bluetooth but now there is it will all come as long as interest is still here
I don't think that was palmboy's point.
I think that although they're the same resolution, if the camera models between the two phones are different and the wrong drivers are used, too much power could be sent to the camera and it could break it.
I guess the best way to make drivers for the camera would probably be either to edit those for a phone with similar specs like the Dream according to the WM drivers of the Raphael camera, or to just start from scratch. It would be very risky to just use the Dream drivers on the Raphael.
Actually, AFAIK, the Raphael and the G1 had the EXACT same hardware. So in normal logics you'd think it's an easy port.
But it just isn't because we have no doc over the drivers nor nothing.
But I can't really explain all this, I'm not a developer
Oh right, I thought they would be (at least slightly) different. Now I'm a little confused

Camera module replace!! Warning!!

hi.
I want to post my experience with rear camera module replacing one HOX S720e,
Warning!!!: never touch the camera lens!! never try to clean it whit spirit, or alcohol, never use cleaning tools for glasses! its just make it worst...
i bought one camera module for my hox from this site:
http://rounded.com/htc-one-x-g23-s720e-camera-module-back-rear-camera-module-spare-part-23fp.html
This camera version is 23FP,
http://rounded.com/images/detailed/..._camera_module_achterzijde_onderdeel_23FP.png
After i install it to my hox, i have auto focus issus, the macro is relativli good but far objects is imposible to focus,
i try diffrent camera apps with manual focusing but dont help, try to reflash stock rom, try to flash CM9, 10 not help,
so i opened the hox again to comper the camera modules and my camera is 23RP version,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7h1qschrne8yfs8/Bez názvu.jpg
when start to finde the right version for me i finde some diffrent version of camera modules for example 23AP
http://www.etradesupply.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/12055/image/134034/
and 1D5 (1D5 is USA model whit snapdragon s4)
So if somebody need to replace the camera module first finde your version after that buy the right,
if somebody finde the htc one x s720e 23RP camera module for sell on internet please post me the link here... because i can't find it..
good luck for all and i believe its save your money when you read this thread
so u bought the wrong module and ur camera acted funny
so whats up with the spirit and alcohol?

i bought the right module.. .becouse its for s720e gs23 and this is my model...but its not working properly... camera cant focus far objects and make blur images...
maybe its newer module and its incompatible with my HT24 hox version... or i dont knwo where are the problems
but i think to problem can be in the lens protector on the back cover... becouse if i put my eywear before camera its start focusing and everytihng is sharpness... it can be same problem that people have whit theyr eye when use eywear
I have more or less the same problem.. I have a camera module coded 23EP and I bought a camera replacement coded 23AP by etradesupply.com, but this one is not working properly.. it can't focus near object, only far object and not auto focus.. it seems to have infinite focus..
I wrote to rounded.com and they say to me that the 23FP that they sell, is suitable for my phone because they have only original parts..
What is your suggest?
Inviato dal mio HTC One X con Tapatalk 2
I cleaned my camera modul and lense with cleaner that contained alcohol and it made my pics better, so if you do it right, there's no problem
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I usually just clean mine off with a glasses cloth..
It isn't a problem of lens.. i've the same problem without the entire back cover and with the lens cleaned.. i think that is a compatibility problem.. i wrote also to etradesupply.com, and i'm waiting their answer..

Hi, did you solve your problem?
When the camera can't focus, is possible to record a movie without lag?
The part bought from rounded.com work properly?
When you focus on a subject, do you hear a noise?
Thanks..
I clean my camera almost everyday because i hate using covers and things like that.I've never used i will never use a cover,and so far i have no problems with it.My advice is to clean it with wed napkins,they do the job just well.
I have all this problems because i had a broke camera and i had to replace with a new one.. But it doesn't work from new..
This question is for everyone, because i didn't have a working camera..
When you focus on a subject, do you hear a noise?
Yeah,there is a noise.Also there is a noise when you enter the Camera app and exit the Camera app,it's kinda like a short .....bump so to say.

pixel camera in G4?

Im wondering if the camera from the Google Pixel could be installed in the G4. The physical camera, not the software, well the software too.....
I have seen that its possible to instal the kdz for the google camera w AI. I have seen the quality of photos the pixel can make, I have tried (ok Im trying) to install the G4 camera in my G3, but it requires some chassis mods).
I have read all I can about the cameras in the Pixel, and the G4. i think they are both made by sony.
they look the same (comparing pictures of products for sale on ebay)
could one just pop out the stock camera and install the other? Is there some kind of system check that is performed before boot?
why or why not?
cheers

It could work if connection are the same but it's not so easy. Anyway after changing the camera you'll need also a Rom supporting it with correct "Drivers" or you'll have only a bunch of errors XD
Someone reached to do camera swap in really similar phones.

I do think the connectors are the same.
I know its a Sony, I have found the API's how do you disassemble them into the individual components?
cheers
