Hermes WM6 Camera, Zoom doesnt work :(

I have XDA live 2.0, and i'm trying to use the camera feature on my phone, and in the standard camera mode, the zoom feature doesnt work. is there a fix for this, or could somebody point me in the latest version of the xda, or the latest and most stable release of WM6. There's a new version of WM6 every week, you guys cook roms like crackhead cook crack. If there is a fix, could somebody do me a favor and send it to my email, ( [email protected] ) if not, its a-okay.

I believe that if you have the phone in 2.0 MP mode, you can't use the digital zoom, however if you drop the resolution down a bit, it will allow you to then go all the way up to 8x zoom.

Thanks for the help, i have the same issue, but with WM5 too.
Zoom only works with resolutions lower than 1Mpixel for me, using WM6 LVSW.
Regards

That's in the HTC Manual! Zoom only works for the 'S' (small) resolution setting in the Tytn. WM5, Wm6, Photon.... you won't be able to zoom with 1M or 2M resolutions

Nothing like read the manual
but this info isn't in my M3100 from Orange manual.
bad translators from Orange Spain doing so bad manuals...

The HTC camera is crap,
what is the point having a zoom on low res images, it will make them worse than what they are.....
Bad Design imho,
Maybe I should release another version of Black 2.0 as well (No Camera Policy) for work professionals that are not allowed to use camera's in their office buildings. This version will have the camera application and all drivers removed from the OS which then does not violate the policy.
Cheers,
jas

yes. = 8x Zoom [M] = 4x [L] = 4x
cannot zoom with [1M] & [2M]

I use coolcamera, it can work!

whats cool camera?

If there is, probably it would only work over WIFI, as I doubt EDGE really offers enough bandwidth

Or I guess you could flip the phone front to back really quick... Now THAT would look funny in public.

So There Is Any Software For Video Chat?

have you read any of this?
how can you video chat when your screen and keyboard are on the opposite side as the camera? you can get some software that turns the phone into a webcam and you can plug it into your pc and video chat that way.

I think video chat is not just to show your face to other person but you can show them your surrounding for example in the school you can show the lecutre to your friend if he dont come to class.

Thoughts on Video Calling/Conferencing with the TP2

Hi Folks,
I was just wondering what your thoughts were on how to use the TP2 to do a Video Call
1) At all... The camera is on the back. Some older phones that I have seen have cameras on the front by the screen like the xda.... I think I am correct.
2) With such things as skype. I love video calling off my laptop using skype, but wondering how achievable it is to do this on the TP2?
Thanks,
Sam

LG G6 - DashCam App which uses the wide angle cam *found* !

Hello!
I use my phone as a dash cam.
Works pretty good, but all dash cam apps I tried are using the "normal" camera and not the wide angle cam.
But the wide angle cam would be perfect.
How can I switch between the two cameras or does anyone know a dash cam app which uses the wide angle?
Rgds, Martin
EDIT:
***************************************************************************************************
Solution found, it should also work with
V20, G5
Install DailyRoads Voyager Pro from PlayStore
After install go to authors homepage
On the right hand side, download APK "Pro version with wide-angle" and install it as update over the Version from PlayStore.
It works for me on the LG G6 (H870)
EDIT2:
I am not the author of this app and I am not related to the author!

I don't think the wide angle is exposed in the camera 2 API. It's unlikely that you will find a third party app that will ever support it.

Whatsapp uses both lenses, so why dashcam app couldn't do iit ?

Good question, looking for the same!

I have asked the developer of the dashcam app I am using.
If I get feedback I will let you know.

by pressing the camera symbol in the right hand corner (as soon as you have activated the camera in WhatsApp)
It switches the camera, "back wide / back normal / front "

Does this need a sim card or internet to work? Curious because I want to run my old g4 with this but obviously its not connected to a mobile network.

You can run this app without any internet/network connections.
There is the possibility to upload videos, but no need.
I have blocked all network connections to this app via firewall.

Fantastic! Thank you

For those coming from Google: Autoguard is another app that uses the wide-angle camera by default.

Useful thread, never thought about using mobile as dash cam.

Works pretty good. The dash cam app starts as soon as bluetooth is connected to car radio.
So you don't have to think about starting that app.
Playing music over bluetooth and using navigation app at the same time works without problems.

On LG-Developers website, there are libraries to use the second back-camera.
I'm using them in my app, they all work.

Is there an app that films 4:3 in full Resolution with the wide angle camera?

Themes / Apps / Mods Gcam for Xperia 10 III

UPDATE 2022.02.26_GCam 8.1
This 8.1 version of Gcam works very well out of the box (aux cameras, video. Night mode etc etc)
Arnova8G2: Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013
Download Gcam-8.1.101.build-V6.2.211013 by Arnova8G2.
www.celsoazevedo.com
The app crashes only in video rallenty mode.
I changed the 7.4 version below with 8.1 above.
Hi guys, I tried a lot of gcams, finally I found one that works well with 99% of features.
https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_eng.apk
I attach the config file by myself.
Only bug is video recording with aux cameras.
If someone found a better setting or a better combo (gcam+setting), please reply to this post

Does it make the camera better?

yes, really better. With the HDR+ Auto (non advanced), shots are also more quick than stock (that is really slow to be honest). The overall quality is very better, and night mode, potrait mode, astrography etc etc are a considerable plus. This are two shots made during this reply. IMG file is the Gcam, DCIM is Sony (1x cam, no adjustment, all auto).

the right one is with Gcam?

yes, but this is only an example. In outdoor or dark conditions there is a lot of difference.

Video works for me for all 3 cameras. I didn't install the config though, just went to settings -> Advanced -> Auxiliary cameras -> added 3 cameras and assigned appropriate samsung tree icons . After initial crash, it's working fine

Well! The aux not working in video in original post was because I had the video stabilization on. Talking about photos, have you seen any colour balance difference between the cameras?

Yes, and focus goes in and out...stock camera focussing is spot on, for now, using the stock

The focus is good for me, better than stock, expecially in LL condition. Try my config disabling video stab.

I'm seriously considering getting this phone. Can anybody post more samples from GCam?

Hello, are you able to shot in RAW mode? That is Raw+Jpg?
thanks!

Yes, you can shot in raw+jpeg

I upload the last config file:
-the video stab. Is disabled because video capture with aux freeze the app.
-every gcam 7 feature is working well
-colors are quite different switching cameras, I suppose there's a little settings to do well. But this difference is already present in the stock camera app.

You are right, it just saves the RAW files in a different folder (Picture\RAW), that's why I wasn't able to see them!
Do you know if it's possible to save them in the same folder of the JPGs?

No I don't know, I just haven't this kind of need yet.

A little bit offtopic because I did not try GCam yet, but my 10iii arrived yesterday and the pictures (same objects, auto-mode, sony app & opencamera) are im comparison to my 4 year old XZ1c smaller in resolution and size (1,4mb vs 5,8mb) and quality almost as bad as the xz1c. Highest resolution I can set is 12MP in the settings. Are there any settings I have overseen? Or do I have to send it back and buy the Zenfone 8 although I loved Xperia phones since years?

I bought this phone at launch. And I will never change with a zenphone 8. I'm very happy with this phone and every update Sony made has solved a problem. I love it. So to come back on topic try the gcam in this post with the last setting.

Thanks, I just tried your GCam with the latest xml. Might be the best app for 10iii, shutter is quicker than stock, white balance and colors as well, but still the results are awful for a phone from 2021 if you compare it to the xz1c-pictures attached. I don't get it why Sony builts really good cameras (I'm on Canon, but anyway..) and the ones in their phones are bad. After 11 years Xperia-phones I'll go for the Zenfone now

Thanks a bunch for the all done config, but it was not obvious how to import it.
See https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/ and follow instructions for GCam 7.x

HI! can I post here the pictures I made with the factory camera, is that all right?
