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

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):

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

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

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.....

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).

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),

Yes, its a German (407) ROM. Very similar to the 1.93 HTC ROM. Maybe Sushilange can stick "German" into the topic...
Ah damn, sorry! I forgot it :'(
Unfortunately only german users can use it. When I tried upgrade my diamond after 2% mobile reseted and normal started.
Did someone notice the 'PT_DDI_1.93_0808.cab' in \windows containing a file named 'ddi.dll'?
The changelog on O²'s support page mentions something like 'New graphics driver with better performance'.
I just uploaded it. Maybe it's of interest to our gurus, too. ;-)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NJW0QL9A
that is quite interesting would there be any way to check if its really a newer version of the ddi.dll?
I'll test this cab with HTC's 1.93 ROM because O²'s colour scheme gives me bird flu.
I'm already testing the O² ROM with several videos in various codecs and bitrates. So far MP4 (640x480, up to 900kbps) is played nicely even in album view.
It could give us a hint if video performance is better with this ddi.dll.
Nice one.

Hi asticinzano.
Great post but the download link says "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable", could you re upload so we can test and report our findings.
Thanks.

The megaupload-link still works.
I just uploaded it to a different filehoster. Just in case.

Flashing back to 1.34.831.1 now to see if it improves on the slow original TouchFLO 3D, and the moving graphics, i.e lost when you upgrade to 1.93 ROM's.
Editiden' see the graphics changelog you mentioned from the O2 german site? only a reference to New diagram drivers with better performance?
http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translat...iamond/index.html&lp=de_en&btnTrUrl=Translate
Yahoo Babelfish is useless in this case. It really means graphics and not diagram.
"Neue Grafik-Treiber mit besserer Performance" means:
New graphics driver with better performance.
Mhh interesting, i will give it a try today
[Edit]
Finalley I have installed this Rom.
Before I used to have the original HTC 1.93 Rom.
In my opinion it is somehow a bit faster in my eyes, TF3D is smoother than before.
But test it for yourself, it is worth a try
I'm not exactly sure if the TouchFLO has to be on a touch screen phone, but I've seen pics of this 2D version of TouchFLO floatin' around and I'm wondering if it can be ported to our phones?
Anyone know?

Shucks. Maybe in time...
all the cabs are available in xda development and hacking forum. But the total install is around 26mb. I installed on my tilt last night and its pretty sweet. Dpad navigation works, so maybe a possibility that it could work, just have to try it. They also have the oems available for using in roms. Maybe nrg can cook it into his rom.
Has anyone here tried this yet? Its working almost perfect on the shadows, so the only reason you might have problems is the landscape compared to portrait layout. But that could be worked out, the main thing is that it will work on wm standard if anyone's interested in it.

thats just a matter of changing the settings xml for the image layout and changing size of background images, wouldn't be to hard, just takes a little time on spacing adjustment. The zip with all needed cabs is in the first link. shadowmike may have changed some of the files to use on smartphone, i'm not sure. He's supposed to have his done this weekend and should be available on allshadow.
NRG should get this for excaliber/dash if he's serious about making a rom.
Nice, how about that HTC Viva, I think its using the same processor as the Dash, but with native TouchFlo, can't wait.

Manilla Touchflo2d is now working on htc smarthphones for anyone interested. The layout is for portrait, but is has a xml file that you can adjust all the tabs, icons, text etc , so that it will view correctly on the dash/excalibur.

Hey y'all
so,
while we're all waiting for our "Dreams" to show up on the 22nd, this would be a lot of fun to play with. If anyone figures it out, and could even just write down how they did it, I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it, as I'm sure everyone else would as well. Thanks!
I've bn working on it for about 4 days now but I don't have alot of time. I know that show has been doing some work on landscape as well.
I offer myself as a test dummy for it. Just tell me what to do. It seems to be quite impressive. I hope showaco will come out with some good stuff

hey gorap, have you already installed it on your dash? You have to move the tabs first so you can see them. I've got some of the landscape values for home and weather. The programs page auto adjusts to fit I believe. The wallpaper background has to be widened as well(hh_fw_background.png).
I just flashed stock R3A010 rom mostly because of speed and battery life, I was using Valkyrie before, but now I miss some things like rhodium dialer and better camera (especially flash working as a flash, and not always lighting).
So if anyone can point me in the directions of rhodium dialer and latest camera for stock roms ,in a CAB format, I would appreciate it.
Search didn`t help me cause dialer was on rapid share and link is too old.
Thanks in advance.
I need this too.... any help?
meee tooo please
Here is the camera with autoflash...& about the dialer,do u mean HTC dialer?
I think this is the dialer u want
hm is that rhodium dialer cab better then the r3a camera cab?
i would like to change vga into mpeg4 recording or a better frame rate...possible?
that quality looks better then mine
