Camera Problems Compilation - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hey there everyone, I was not sure if I should post this here or in the upgrading forums, so I decided to post on both.
I'm really happy about my Artemis, but as I've seen around the forums, everyone ends saying the camera is a crap, tho it's the best on HTC's phones.
I checked the fix on post
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302293&highlight=camera+software
but since my Artemis is being fixed (the touchscreen broke, but it was still on warranty), I cannot test it right now. I saw most people said it is a great fix, but I'm still not sure if it's gonna solve what I think of it.
I'm up to try to program a JavaME software for the camera, IF someone wants to help me with it AND knows how to do it.
Also, if anyone wants to give a hand, again, I'm willing to start to compile all the programs and fixes for the camera on a single thread.
What do ya all think? Wanna go for it?
Let's make Artemis's camera worth being called a 2mp camera!

How did we solve the SDHC mystery?

I'm no looking for anyone to reveal any state secrets, but Bepe's masterful cracking of the SDHC issue has come after many months of trial, effort & failure by many people.
Can any of the ROM masters who are privvy to this new magic explain to us interested end-users just how the problem was actually cracked?
Was it just the use of a new driver from somewhere or some registry setting that hadn't been tried before or something else?
Just interested how, after all this time, we've found a solution (that even HTC didn't know of or build into their very recently issued WM6 rom), that so suddenly fixed the issue and could be built into many of the bespoke ROMs already available.....
What was the magic ingredient?
I second that !
I'd love to know, as HTC told me that it was a hardware issue. Maybe their way of trying to persuade us to update to a newer phone?
Thanks for the hard work guys. Haven't updated yet as can't afford an HC card.
extremely interesting question that i would also like the answer to.
Hi,
Question not thee, for thy shall not receive the answer thy seek.
Just say God bless the great BEPE. He's opened new doors for our devices and now there is a hive of activity all over, because we have this great ROM and SDHC driver - something that had evaded this great Forum for a very long time, despite several efforts.
Long live XDA Developers, long live all the other heroes in this Forum. You know who you are.
Something that I don't quite understand though - the great Bepe has taken a back seat and nobody hears of him anymore since he released his unique ROM. I guess he's cooking something else. I just hope that Microsoft or similar hasn't snapped him up.
THANK YOU GREAT BEPE. DANKA, DANKA, DANKA FOR THE SDHC.
Kiwi992.
Of course we thank BEBE very much for all the nice job done. No questions about that, at all.
But, still, I am also curious about how the stuff worked out.
Maybe

As simple as that? A new release from Microsoft of WM6....
If it was that I'm slightly deflated that it wasn't down to some ROM cooker mastery......
But then the update did only come out on 11th October, so the timing is right and also that would explain why HTC failed to get SDHC working in their official WM6 ROM, as that came out before this general upgrade was available.....

Just getting started

well I've just order this phone and wondering where to start.
First how to modify? I was reading something about codes?
Second the what kind of software updates, performance mods.
Third cosmetic stuff.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, possible a list of stuff you guys would do to your touch out of the box.
Read everything you can get your hands on here and the other forums ... then read some more before you do any updates ... then do it really slow ... ad a few things then test ... add a few more ... test some more ... once you figure out what you will use and what you won't ... read some more before you ever consider flashing a rom ... just my two cents
fuzzy
yeah thats what i planned on attempting, but there is sooooo much info on these subjects, and it seems like you just get taken to another tread to another tread.
-so i guess if someone could give me a good first and second step of stuff to do. I think by then can handle it.
examples:
-does the touch come with windows pro. 6.1 straight out of the box or does it need to be upgraded?
-what about the Rev A upgrade I have been reading out?
-Then I was reading somewhere else or possible on a youtube video, a guy adding some software to make it run more efficiently.
so yup just some basic questions if guys could help out, thanks.

touch has 6.0. can be upgraded. for how to: look here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473
there are plenty of 6.1 roms out there both here on xda and over at ppcgeeks.
become a member of ppcgeeks.com if you are not already, that is whats really going to help you. that is also where the youtube thing is. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6623&highlight=youtube
rev a upgrade seems to not be coming out for the touch for at least another few months, but ppl will be going crazy enough that when it does, you will know for sure.
feel free to ask more questions
but the best thing you can do is to READ READ READ (and that is what everyone will tell you too lol (well mostly)).
good luck!

eta for working camera and sound?`

Hi, I'm using android on my tilt 2 right now and like it quite a bit. However, I won't use it full time because it doesn't have sound support or camera support, or bluetooth lol.
Do we have an ETA for those things?
Also, would someone please instruct me as to how I can find/measure the hardware interrupts of the device so that I may pass the info along to some other developers I know who don't have an HTC phone.
Thanks
Smith
i feel a flaming coming on... you might want to read some threads before speaking in here...
It's an honest enough question here.
I don't mean to seem impatient, because i'm not. I'm happy with what there is. Was simply wondering, especially because I may be able to contribute to the project.
If you're going to flame though, I guess it's time to get your caps-lock on. Won't bother me.
You could have asked this in one of the main threads... or used the search function to search for your answer which has been all along "when we get it we get it... no eta"
Seems pointless to start a new thread on this thats all

No one questions your honesty. It is just that this topic has been discussed ad nauseum. It would have been easier for you to just to do a simple search.

Last I heard was something about by July, but refusing to lock it down to a specific year.
no1 knows man, it will come out when it comes out ,just gotta wait
This question has been asked many times in this forums, but at the current state for the Rhodium, we don't have drivers for the sound from what I have heard.
As for bluetooth, I am not sure what the current state is, but I heard that the bluetooth is a completely different from other devices that HTC has made.

Maybe we should make this a sticky for those who can't read too good or are too lazy to use the search option. Kind of getting tired of going through the main thread and half the posts are just the same regurgitated questions. Or maybe we should create a ban if the same question has been asked more than say 3 times.
If you want to help there is some IRC channel or something I think I remember reading. or PM phhusson maybe? He seems to be heavily involved.
In case you didnt notice, people are a little sensitive about the sound/camera questions around here. Probably because they were flamed for asking it too It almost like it is the first question everyone asks when running android for the first time.
cameraand sound?
I think that's like asking when exactly will Windows Phone 7 come out, or when will the next solar eclipse be, maybe even, where did you put your keys last?
When people get it to work is when you will have it. I don't think anyone knows exactly how it works, something to do with hardware issues, so until it's cracked/figured out there can't be a date.
roast him !!!!

That's it! I now know we're getting sound and bluetooth on July 11th this year, at precisely 19:34:38 UTC!

Sorry, couldn't resist Gotta admit, eclipses are really interesting things. Maybe read about 'em to pass the time while the chefs continue do their awesome work on these difficult technological puzzles.
really
some of you guys are funny and make jokes about it which is funny and tolerable, but then we have those "followers" that repeat what is already stated (roast em this and that it was said already really how many posts do we have to see about that.) its a forum, it a community and give positive help and stop always cherping because a. u probably didnt have the nadz to roast anyone and b. really you didnt have to come to the post to read it you could have easliy went to the next one. its ten times easier to give help and pass a joke damn stop being so uptight become a leader not a follower...pretty much everything is unknown till they release it or they mention it on the site, but feel as thou the camera will probably be the last thing thou if they do get it to work properly (all speculative based on the fuze)
A good read: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=121743
Well, it's good to see some positive feedback on here
I appreciate all of your guys' answers!
I came accross this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ6pr8AJxbg
It is showing a working speaker while in-call @ 4min.
How's that possible ?
I guess it was a mistake making the ARM9 launch the rear-speaker when in call, but can't that help ?

he was using the speakerphone when he booted android. you know, it seems a lot of crap is dependant upon being active in windows for it to work in android (keyboard backlight, front hardkey lights, etc.). i wonder is there a way to make everything active at boot time, like camera, speaker, etc etc. not saying it would magically make the stuff work properly, but might make it easier to mess with some stuff to try n get it working ?
I was thinking the same thing, I tried playing music when I started up android.. no luck, and the speaker phone is just a line the the startup.txt if Im remembering correctly

GB help

Hey guys, sorry if this has already been brought up or not. If this has, I'm very sorry but it's early in the morning and I had a bad dream, lol.
I'm excited about the official GB update and I know the actual OTA update has everything working, like the brightness and camcorder working, but I got an email from Evo Hacks and they mentioned the rooting method being different. I really don't feel like dealing with all that. I'm dealing with a lot of medical issues and haven't really been feeling very well lately. I'm too excited and can't stand having too late anymore.
I know there are many ROMs out there running the update already but I've also seen things about brightness problems and camcorder controls not working. Can anybody tell me if there are any ROMs that have EVERYTHING working and would be sweet to start off with? I'd like to find one really stacked with goodies like sd speed tweak and definitely the camcorder working. I don't know if I could live without it, lol.
Once again, I apologize if I sound lazy, that's not the case at all. Thanks everyone, I do appreciate it.

What you're looking for doesn't exist yet, in a full release. There are some Beta's, but you have to give the Dev's more than a day to cook up something that's fully functional, tested, re-tested, bugs worked out, etc....

I remember skimming through the development forum, the night it was released, and I know there were several new ROMs launched that evening. I was in such a hurry that I wasn't paying attention as to whether or not any of them were fully functional. I don't really have time to check right now but I could have swore that there was at least one. Who knows with my memory these days, lol.
I just figured I'd throw the question out there. If there aren't, maybe once some are released fully functional, somebody will remember about my thread and give me a heads up.

Can it be improved? Camera + CM12

Hey there.
Recently i went over to CM12 on my LG G3, the move has been great, but has come with a price.
I have googled around, and im sure im not the only person with wishes as far as the camera on the G3, but i have not been able to find the answer i am looking for.
My main issue is that the camera has become almost put back to the stone age. All looks "decent" , but once you zoom in, my god, its like looking at PC game from the late 80s. Pixelated and useless.
I dont care about 120fps video or higher then stock quality, im just looking if there is any way at all to make this better?
I have tested a few app based camera solutions, and it does seem this is a driver thing, which i know from reading around isnt just so, but maybe my searchings arnt bringing up the full picture, so i thought i would ask here.
Hi, the short answer is no. This has been the main issue for people to move to AOSP or CM.
There are plenty of threads discussing about this issue.
Sorry for not having better news.
Only option is to use a stock based ROM.
