I have installed this on SD without remove the original version (4.00).
Copy or rename Camera.exe.040c.mui to Camera.exe.0409.mui (or Camera.exe.0410.mui)
Configure on Setting GPSID (External GPS):
GPS Program Port = GPD8
GPS Hardware Port = (the port of GPS BT Paired ,ie..COM0)
Verify EXIF data with Picasa2.
TyTN with WM6 lvsw 20070315 .

Yeah I'm running that myself. It's nice to have the GPS feature. It also lets you take photos using the front camera as well as the back (finally a built in use other then video calls) though the pictures aren't great so I use the 2mp cam instead. Still nice to have it. Also, new overlay templetes. The only thing I need to change on it is reports the photo as being taken on a Dopod (gotta fix it to read Hermes or TyTN) - haven't looked - it was probably in the registery entries I imported and didn't even bother to look

404 - Not Found did i miss anything?

Hi guys at last some body talking about the camera, what I took notes about apart from the not a very good focus camera on the Tytn, I don't know if is a problem with the flash that is not synchronized with the shutter ,because if you take a picture ,has got the same light ,like it was before the high intensity beam that shine when some body press the camera button.If some of you gurus came have a .cab or fix were we can adjust the synchronization of the shutter with the beam will be wonderful.Thanks

When I choose 2nd camera on Dopod 838PRO, it will hang all times. How should I do? Can the new camera program version take photo by 2nd camera on Herms?

It did that for me too when I was trying to run it from my SDCard. When I replaced the internal version with it, it worked no problem. Dont forget to import the new reg settings!

The worst is this version cann't use FLASH Light because it's from D810.....
Anybody can help

haiya.. import the registry ma..
no strobe light function.

Hmm - never noticed - the flash is so weak I never use it - practically useless (imho). As a (lame) work around, if you really need a flash, you could use VJ canella to turn it on, take the pic and then turn it off?

I extracted the camera application from the latest Trinity ROM and it got several problems so I give it up. For example, Video function doesn't run and the photos taken with MMS mode are full of garbage. I believe that the Trinity camera is physically diferent to the Hermes one and the DLL's cannot be shared.
This version from Dopod got the same problems so I don't reccomend it. At least, if you use the files from the Trinity, you can use the flash.

The file is not working
I downloaded this file on 3 dif computers and they all say the zipped file is corrupt, is there something im missing?

Hi,
I’ve just upgraded my SPV 3100 with Camera 4.02, seams that something is wrong witch colors !
To get near to real colors, I must set contrast, hue to max setting ??!!! and the colors are far from those which I got in previous version of camera software.
BTW the sepia effect is BLUE ???!!! & it’s impossible to use front camera
Did anyone got similar problems ??
Is there somewhere “old” HTC camera software available ???
I prefer avoid of hard reset

If you have installed the 4.02 version on SD the previous version 4,00 she still works like before.
Simply launch the program camera.exe from \windows.
The two versions coexist.
BTW : Camera400.zip from LVSW 20070408.

I think it is not possible, coz vcandella uses driver/hardware to put light on, but at the same time is not possible to do this on two programs. you can use light with vcandella or with original camera application. try to use vcandella and run camera - I think error message will appear - hardware is used or something like that...

Yes, you're missing a normal archiving program. I'm guessing you use Windows' builtin "Compressed Folder" crap - it doesn't work with all ZIP files. Try WinZip or WinRAR or IZArc, the latter being completely free (I use it).

HTC TyTN Cam's

Hello,
Guys pls help me ... I've one question Where i can select watch 1nd or 2nd Camera ???? or maybe on this shap's 4.20 ROM camera select program doesn't exist ?
Tnx

i would also like the answer to this!
i believe what the original poster is trying to ask is, is it possible to take pictures with the forward facing VGA camera at all?

I may be wrong but the front camera can only be used for video calls, it's only 0.1Mpixel anyway so I can't imagine the quality would be up to much even if you worked out how to.

..and does anyone know if it can be used for skype video call?
thx a lot!

No, it cannot be used for skype video. After all NO mobile device is supported for video calls in Skype.

Except for Mcrosoft Portrait there is no IM program to allow for video telephony on Pocket PCs so far. Maybe in the future

This cam version lets you choose between cam's. It doesn't have the best cam quality, but it works.

Please do, I would love to see. My x01HT is having an issue with the VGA camera, it doesn't work with webcamera plus, coolcamera, or the GPS camera cab. I think it is unpluged as yours was. Is that the one you had not working? Plus it would be half cool to paint it too. Thanks!

well it's vga, and yes it's not so good in term of quality but it's a handy feature for some people...
and to think about it, trinity has the feat... so how come hermes cannot...? there should be way around to do this...
i mean, if vijay can lit the flashlight with certain commands without turning on the camera... then the camera switching may be possible too
don't u think?

HTC Camera for X1

hi,
has anyone a working camera cab of the rhodium cam.
because the one i have doesn't start, there's just an error

Do not know about Rhodium, but if you search in ROM section I think you'll find instructions and files.
Actually someone provided the new Topaz Camera App

HTC Tocuh pro 2 Camera questions

Hi,
i am totally new to xda-developers and also to windows mobile, so if i make mistakes please just tell me and dont make trouble i will learn from my mistakes
i have the HTC Touch pro 2 and i actual am discovering my posibillities how to tune up my phone.
But now my question:
the cametra of this device and its autofokus ist not very good. i have to hold the phone really save without any movement to get a sharp image. any move of less than an millimeter and the picture is unsharp (sorry for my bad english, i am german) .
also another fact gets on my nerves:
the time from hitting the button till the autofocus ist ready to shoot ist much too long.
is there any way to switch of the autofocus on the HTC Toch pro 2 and to tune up the camera? i know of different drivers for the dcamera of the diamond so are there better drivers than the original htc driver for the touch pro II too?
with the original settings and drivers the phone is just good to make pictures with an tripod- but to make snapshots the camera isnt useful.
if i posted in the wrong area please move this post and tell me ´bout what i did wrong.
thank you fr your help folks and greetings from germany, bochum.

First of all welcome to XDA. This is the proper forum for your question.
I have not played with the TP2 camera yet as mine is in shipping, however my Kaiser (the predecessor) of the TP2 had an adjustment in the camera set up to change the time between pushing the button and when picture would be taken. There were also other settings that can be changed such as sound etc.
One thing I did find with the autofocus is that if the light is low it takes a long time to get a focus.
I would be interested to see if there is a better driver for the camera. I know on my kaiser I used Navadi's camera and album ripped from another phone. If there is a better one out there I am sure someone will point us in the right direction.
Enjoy your stay, read lots before asking and all will be well. People here are very helpful provided the question is intelligent and properly asked. If you show them you have tried to find an answer they will help you get what you have missed.

hey,
thanks for your fast answer. well, i am very interested in everything arround mobile phones. i made some mods for the motorola razr v3 and i also will start to discover my possibilities for working with windows phone 6.5- and yes, i will read much here. if i will have infos that might be interesting for people here you can be sure i´ll post them here.
well- ´bout the camera- i will stay searching. maybe i can find some ways to make it better

can u giv me the linkk for the camera driver i cant find 1

Camera FIX cab from LEO

As probably most of you know, the LEO or HTC HD2 had an issue with the images taken by the camera. HTC has released a fix today. This fix means an enhancement in the quality of the photos. Some guy, have made a cab, the orginal exe file provided by HTC was not able to be installed on our HTC HD, but the cab made by this guy yes...
So I have installed the cab in my device -after a back up of course-, then I have made a soft reset and once the device has rebooted I have started to use my camera. For me, but maybe is just a placebo effect, the photos taken after the installation seems to be much better, a great quality improvement has been noted by me, and also the video seems to have a faster response.
But as this fix was intended to the LEO maybe is just a placebo effect and not a real effect. I have to comment that I am using one of the new roms based on LEO. So I do not know how this fix will work on an stock rom. Just make a back up. Just in case.
My current manila version is 2.5.19.202525.0

Has anyone tested it on WM6.1 Roms? or will it work on Roms based on Leo's Rom only??

I have official rom from htc and camera fix works great. Images are better and it has additional options.
But first time I started camera picture was out of screen but it fixed it self by it self after couple of seconds.

you might be right
Just tried this on my 6.5 cooked leo ROM, there is a definate difference, the camera does seem a little quicker and the image is more crisp with more Gamma and contrast.

images
Here are the images, it occurred to me though as a different focus area was chosen in each image the white balance could have caused this changed, perhpas someone else could have a go.

Tried it on my HD with stock rom,I thought it was a marked difference,thanks for that.
Don

stoolzo, you're keyboard really needs a "dusting" !!

LOL @ gwbard's post..
i'll try on my WM 6.1 and report back

Working on my T8282 with Maryone WM6.5 (details in sig)
-Noticed slightly faster performance... maybe...
-All extra camera options were already there for me thanks to HDTweak
-Am about 95% sure the quality of photos has increased
But maybe I just want to believe...

Video
I think this has improved my camera slightly....i think!
However I have no audio while video recording? Any one else have this??

Don't know if you care
Works beautifully on imagio. Seriously, words can't describe the increased level of functionality of the camera on this device. I wouldn't bring my phone out to take pictures before because of the 10 seconds it takes for the autofocus to work, but this thread has shown me light. Under two seconds autofocus and shutter now. Fantastico.

Does anyone know what registry values this cab installs or writes? I would like to try it on an HD Clone. Ideally, it would be nice to know what changes are made to the registry.

Open the cab with winrar or something similar then just read the xml with a text reader, it's all there for you.

Thanks. I extracted that file and renamed it as a DOC file. I can see only one Registry change:
type="Registry"><characteristic type="HKCU\Software\HTC\Customize"><parm name="Ver" value="1.0" datatype="string" /></characteristic></characteristic></wap-provisioningdoc>
Everything else seems to be installs of DLL files and some data run statements. I kind of hoped to see or know more about any other Reg changes as some of the keys are different on Clones.

So, results are positive, huh?
Okay, I'll give it a try soon.
Thanks for sharing this.
Best regards

using it on duttys leo 6.5 rom and its definately speeded up the camera shot, there is still motion blur but I guess its improved and now I can take photos quicker before my son moves.

About the audio in video recording?

Can anyone tell me if this will work on y wifes SE-X1?
I belive that HW is similar to BS

Well, I am back after installing this camera fix on my Blackstone, and I can say that there is a slight improvement in camera's performance... Especially on daylight.
Thanks again
Best regards
