To all the Devs.

2.1 Roms
I am loving the work you guys are doing so much, that my Hero changes Rom every week, but this issue remains unsolved for a long time!
Try fixing this please, i know "friendstream" is important but the "camera" is way more!
Thanks in advance!
I agree! I love all the ROMs out there, and this is my only major problem!
I think the auto white balance is not working. It's even worse... the pictures are saved in 5 megapixel, but are only 2 or 3. If you zoom in to 100% (1:1) you'll see squares. You can see it a littlebit in your greenish example (compare it to the 1.5 one and you'll see what I mean).
That's why I'm on 1.5 (Kimera 1.6) and keep it that way until HTC releases the 2.1 kernel for the Hero.
@Whepper - What are the downsides to using 1.5? I was thinking of switching to Kimera 1.6 but im afraid of losing some things like 2.1 Apps.
(Im not sure which apps require 2.1 though).
This is very frustrating for me as well: greeny/bluey rubbish.
Yeah, it's a little surprising, but no one seems to have a definite fix for it. There used to be a purported fix over at the villainrom forum which some people had success with, but it didn't do anything for me.

That's my experience as well. Could someone who has the issue try changing the White balance to Incandescent or Fluorescent? At least when I change to Daylight or Cloudy I get the greenish tint as well.
That's right, Homer. Auto is green 9 times out of 10 for me, but daylight/cloudy are -always- green tinted, and incandescent and fluorescent... aren't great but at least they're not green.
Jup same counts for me. As well as the little squares which actually bothers me the most
I have that problem will all 2.1 roms,JUst hope devs can find a way to fix this problem. Camera is useless with to much green color in it. YOurs much better my picture turns out really green much like hulk.
I have the same problem when I up to 2.1 Rom
Can it be that the optical hardware used in the Legend, Desire, etc. is just different from the Hero's?
HTC might have put another color profile in those 2.1 ROMs when they were calibrating the hardware to 18% gray. Such a color profile is used for auto white balancing in digital photography, as hardware/software cannot interpret color "correctness" (what is white?).
Please correct me if i`m wrong, but Sprint Hero uses the same hardware as GSM Hero right?
This issue also happens on VillainROM 5 Series (Sprint Port).
i had the same problem with villain 5.3, but after installing the fix the greenish tint is gone.
Never mind, I found it.
Going back to Modaco 3.2 untill a fix is available.

There are no real downsides, besides losing those 2.1 apps (almost all of them are Google's) and losing VPN functionality (if you need that).
What did you find?

I had tried that on Villain5.3 but it did not fix the green issue.
Having tried different camera apps , the issue still exists. So does this mean it's a kernel issue ( ie drivers) that we can't solve until official Hero version is released ?
Anyway, nathan has stated that he will be looking into the issue as he was not really aware before so fingers crossed. In meantime I'm running OpenEclair 1.3 - photo's have a time/date stamp on them but are at least not green !!
Anyone found a solution/rom without this issue?

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx
do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it
try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik
I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.
Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.
Warrianty it's a faaaar away past
I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...
If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen
I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.
Where did You get this board? Ebay?
http://www.cellulardr.com/products.php?cat=156
I don't think they send to Poland, but thx anyway..
Sorry for diggin this topic, but cellurar.dr is not responding my emails and I can't find/buy this board..

#### Espresso-Rosie Optimized (signed) for 2.X Sense Roms ####

I've included this as an option for VillainROM 2.1, so I thought I'd share it for other developers/users.
It's a SLIGHTLY modified version of Espresso Rosie. I've removed those horrible, windows mobile style bubbles, which look awful.
In addition, I have run each directory through a series of different PNG Optimizers, which has cut the unpacked file-size down to 0.5mb less than it was previously. This should speed up navigation somewhat.
Please note: Any rom using this will crash if switched to 7 homescreens.
Just flash over the top of your current 2.X Sense rom!
This should work on:
VillainROM
[email protected]
Chpoubs (Unsure now they've added a strange theme)
Espresso-Hybrid
Hero21 Community (Untested)
Enjoy!
Please leave feedback if you have any issues. I plan to further tweak this when I have some time.

It's out
looks great..
but, does this include the Rosie launcher??
a litlle pack of HTC Widget is possible?
what will happend if you push these files by adb into your normail original HERO rom phone ?
Hi, it's nice to see Espresso has been optmized, but I still have a really annoying problem with it. When you press the "Search People" icon in the launcher (I mean the one in the right), it takes you to a modified version of standard "Search People", and every time I try to select a contact, it asks me for its default action, and then to attach him or her a picture. It doesn't matter what you do, if you select any picture, the contact magically disappears from this list, and you can't select it again from there. Anyways, the default Search People works ok. COuld you try to fix that, please?
Thanks for your huge effort!

Not when you install Espresso
It defaults to 5 but you can option it to 7.... but it would then crash on you
i install on villarom but don't go why?
You have to flash villain, let it boot, turn it off, flash espresso and then boot again. That worked for me.
search contact issue
I love the look of the espresso rosie but the search contacts on the right side of the menu links to a search contacts apk that is not linked to the actual contacts. THerefore rather useless.
note. Im using Villian rom 2.1 (runs 1.5 dialer which may be the problem)

I think the issue with the contact buttom on the front, is linked to the correct contacts, but it is very slow, if you have many contacts. I don't think it is due to 1.5 dialer, as i had the same problem on Hero Expresso/Hybrid 1.2. When you enter the search, and leaves it there for 10-20 sec, all contacts pop up, it is just VERY slow.
Hopefully this can be fixed?
I didn't say I'd fixed it - nor did I say it was 100%
I've simply optimized the PNG files, shrinking down the size. In addition, I've removed the bubbles, then re-signed it. Not a big job, granted; but I thought I'd share it.
I did not mean that you should have fixed it. I thought it was an error in the other ROM i used, but the problem is here as well.
We hope you maybee will look at it, when you get the time. All in all it runs well, and this together with Villain 2.1 runs much more smooth than my previous ROM, so i am very happy

I like what you have done, running espresso since last night and really liking it
So I have few issues with the camera. All in this album. Sorry if its already
reported.
2. This I noticed by accident. It actually doesn't show well on the original picture 7 picture in the above posted album. But I noticed that circle to be present in the preview everywhere even if very very very difficult to spot. And you need to have really good eyes to see it. However when saving the pic, the circle vanishes a little, but with little tinkering I was able to make it show. In the album is the original also to see. I tried another applications like ZoomFx or Camera ICS, and they didnt show this circle in the preview. I do not want to experiment with the pics taken from them so I can think this is just the original camera issue.
HOW TO: Just open the HTC Camera app, and look on the screen, right in the middle, and focus on near objects, hand, wall, 10-20-30-40 cm away, the ring shape should reveal itself when moving the phone. You should notice the shape always the same.

1. I had no effect on. And I wasn't reproduce this since (also didn't do so many pics since as well) Is this some effect or an issue?
3.
How to get rid of the pinkish, violet hue? When changing it to daylight its too much yellow. You can see how it should look like in the picture nr. 2 in the album. I took that picture (2), I focused on the tree/sun up , moved the cam quickly down and took the picture before it changed to the pink like you can see on this pic.
Thanks for any help.
I have seen that also on a few occasions, I have except once noticed the problem and closed the camera app and reloaded it and it solved the issue. Only once has the image saved like that.

Which of the issues ? 1.2.3 ?
That 1. might be temporary 3. might be solved by settings I hope
but the 2. seems to be strange. Also I have the feeling its not only mine HOX having this. It was really hard to spot. But its present everywhere, even if extremely hard to spot.
Next week I will check out 3 other HOXes to see if its there as well.
Issue 1 only, not the other two.
noisy_lightning said:

Kinda think that the 2 is actually and as I wrote up, more ppl will have it.
Can you try what I wrote? Just make the camera on, try to look on near objects through it. your hand, wall, table, something red-yellow, when you see a shape that's not changing and its staying always in the middle.
Best to make the grid option on, and it will be directly in the middle grid quadrant.
Its big so it fills it out actually, so not needed to look for something tiny 1mm.
Last bump.
I still think, many can see the 2 if they try. Would like someone who could explain or address this.
I have experienced 2 once, I am sure this is a software related bug.

I would say you don't "experience" this, you might "notice" this once. I believe its always there, maybe the software just filters it out to some extent but on some pics it will be visible nevertheless. Btw as I said the 2 I had to filter, edit till I could make the shape visible like that.

This looks EXACLY like the images i get on my HOX with flash when running JB sense roms and certain version of AOSP Kernels.
there is more people with this problem but not everyone got them. Either there is diffrent camera modules or other hardware revisions that is affected by kernel. For instance any version of Jelly Bean ARHD/maximus gives me green images but the ICS based version dont.
Same goes for AOSP, tripnravers kernel works (atleast some versions works) but other AOSP kernels dont.
It's like that on my hox it's because of the flash take a picture without flash and tell me does it still have the green effect in good light.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
tested in stron light without flash good picture
with flash on still green picture... ]=
so the flash its the problem but why?? cuz before the phone save the picture its looks with good light from the flash but after the phone capture it it becomes green

yes, sure. this solves it. NOT.
it just makes everything less colorfull (wich it should) but green is still more prevaltent. In contrast (lol) you can turn it up and make a image all green.. Green like grass.
To make it clear. Images WITHOUT flash is good, even great, with any settings possible but for some reason the camera software adjust the color temperature of the flash incorrectly - my guess realy.
This is NOT the case with ICS, only JB based roms - i can even go as far as saying that its the 3.1 kernel, 2.6 is fine.
Either you've got a camera with a faulty white-balance, or you've set it wrongly. Also, free RAM on linux does not work the same way as Windows. Doesn't matter how much free RAM you have on Android, it will clear unnecessary stuff when you do need that RAM.
The green pictures are known to be a kernel related problem i.e. you can't fix it without unlocking bootloader.
All you can do is hope for htc to fix it in upcoming updates.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Just updated my phone to official 4.1 and the problem is there for me now. So this is a issue with STOCK rom and i realy hope htc gets around fixing this. I hope alot of people experience this to, so this gets fixed fast!
I will just photo B/W for now if i need the flash
Also to the OP, you're in the wrong forum.
I don't know if you've noticed but if you open your eyes and take a picture with the HTC one X+ with the flash-on the picture goes green. OP if you want to take pictures without the green effect simply take a picture with your eyes closed.

Same problem on my one x PLUS GREEN PHOTOS
Sorry If there's already some talks about that on different topics, but I find easier to talk about this latest release on a centralised one.
My findings are that Oplus updated the gamebar which now takes more onscreen space, but is now easier to use
The second one is a real thermal behavior change : I used to flash Omega Kernel on 11.2.5.5 and quickly the o+ 9Pro stabilized under 42/43°C . On the latest OOs build with stock kernel, I'm now @ 37-38°C after 30 min of playing the same game. 5-6 degres gained is pretty a good upgrade.
I'll check what are the photo behavior changes as I've done few reproductible raw photos to test, and see how the white balance upgrades are this week end

I deeply can't say that comparing two different iteration of kernel. But it appears to me O+ finally made some progress concerning power and heat behaviour.
I will for sure flash omega kernel as I did with every releases, but I'm happy to see that vanilla stock kernel is working better than ever
My battery life dramatically improved with the .6.6 update. Granted the phone is still new for me, but I went from ~4h SOT every day to 6h+ yesterday

I'm running Omega, but I was running omega before so although I'm sure Omega helps battery, it was still not great before the update. The new changes he made to reduce watermarking may have been a factor, and I also disabled RAM optimization in Oneplus settings which I'm pretty sure helped.
TY for the explanation :=)
Noticed that the oneplus contacts apk won't work with the upgrade. Have to fall back to the original Google contacts apk.

I dont know ... I still get some sketchy network connections.. All of a sudden, I'll get 10 notifications at once.
Camera .. still have a focus issue. Certain areas are perfectly focused and others are not sharp. Like a bokeh effect.

The notification thing is most likely due to Oneplus's "Intelligent control" for battery saving. It may be "optimizing power usage" too aggressively for your apps. Go to the power settings for each app with the issue individually and change it to "do not optimize" to ensure you get notifications on time
