camera vga - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I've just got a xda zinc, i run the self dianostics. All test went fine except for the camera vga. No error, the diagnostics indicates that if there is no images then test fails. No image was renders when I run the said test any ideas? btw, the xda zinc has 2 cameras, it is 3g capable but i don't have a 3g plan, so I don't have a way to test it. Is there a software that will test or switch between the cameras. The regular(the one in the back) is working fine. I just don't know if the one infront is getting the camera vga error and how I could test the camera in front if it is working. TIA(thanks in advance).
sorry, there is no zinc section. this is the only logical forum/group i could think of... thanks.

I have XDA Zinc too. and the problem is how to activated those front camera. thanks in advance

yup, yup, anybody out there, who could help us?
also cagefronsac, dude, isn't there a zinc group/section here? our posts are scattered all over the place

self diagnostics
anybody, cagefronsac,
i think the self diagnostics=> camera vga is for the front camera. I think mine is busted, when i tried to run it, it does not display any images. Is it the same with you?

up up up...

zinc vga/front camera failed diagnostics
hi to all O2 Zinc owner, just would like to know/ask, if the vga camera failed(to display images) via self diagnostics, does it mean that the front/vga camera is busted already? Or, the vga/front camera only works when calling via 3G mode? thanks.
btw, is there isn't any software out there that can switch front/back camera?

In my experience, i've tried self diag test for VGA Camera n its just working fine. the display show my face... hehehhe...
maybe your front camera is really busted..
the self diagnostic should run without any network...

Camera 4.02 (from Dopod 810) with External BT GPS , Work fine on WM6 !

Version 4.02 from Dopod work fine with BT External GPS:

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 Camera 4.11 in Hermes?

HTC camera 4.11 is work in Prophet now, can any expert make it compatible with Hermes too. thanks!
here is the link of camera 4.11 for Prophet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314798
push.....anybody help me...
I know, I would like this too...the screenshots look nice.
I think it needs to be ported to the Hermes, to work with its specific camera (drivers and such)...But no one seems to care...and I don't know how to do it.
Oh well at least it still takes pictures
Prophet camera is 2 MP without a flash
(the max resolution forms 1600x1200 pixels),
records video (the max resolution is 176x144)
wow

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

On a PC, yes, there are programs for turning Windows Mobile device into a webcam - like "Mobiola WebCamera".

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?

Autofocus camera for artemis

ok, i have the YuE v14 rom for a very long time, its the greatest rom from my experience, but today i discovered something which really bothered me :
I installed an app called Worldcard mobile which is a business card reader...but when using the camera to take a picture of a business card I discovered that there is no autofocus feature, so the info on the card were blurry and nothing could be recognized.
please help me guyz this is urgent..i love this rom...too hard to change the rom now, a differnet camera cab would be very nice, i dont care about the gps camera function...
