I have used the Samsung Epic 4G and i like the phone and everything. (LOVE MY EVO BETTER) But........ I have ONE request....
Are there ANY DEVS/MODS who would be able to take the panoramic feature that is in the camera from the Samsung Epic and add it into our EVO phones??? either included in a ROM or just a flashable feature?? THIS is a feature i would GLADLY Pay for.....
I have tried the Photostitch app..... but would rather have the feature built in like on the Epic....
Thanks
Could you not just use adb and pull the camera.apk from the Epic, and install it on the EVO?
Edit: for example,
adb pull system/app/camera.apk

might be able to .... idk.... i wish i could try right now
Not good with adb, but I have been WAITING for someone to port the Epic Panoramic Camera app.
If someone does get it to work with the evo it would be amazing!!

I'm assuming that when you tried using adb.... it did not work??
The hardware and frameworks are completely different. Samsung was very tricky with their coding with the Galaxy S line, thank god they open sourced it right away, though. I'm sure given enough time this will end up on a ROM somewhere, but I highly doubt that the camera.apk will work without porting.
Most likely, it will probably just force close after you push the camera.apk to the system/apps. Too bad it's never this easy.
I was hoping it would be that easy. That is unfortunate, I would like to see this.
I would like to see that and a pause button during video recording. That's another really cool capability of the Galaxy S line.

I know it's not a fix but I have found that Photaf works better for me than Photostitch.
Porting over the Camera/Camcorder SW from the Droid X would be best, I think. That had soooo many features like panorama, slow motion video capture, and some other cool stuff!

Definitely a way better port than the Galaxy S cam port.

Could probably take a look, shouldn't be too hard, if it's anything like the Moto Droid was... then again, knowing HTC, it's probably not that easy. Good idea though, this camera/lens can certainly handle it.

Yeah, it's the same camera as the EVO which came with 720p so it undoubtedly can handle it. It's just a matter of a dev taking on the project to unlock it.
would we be able to change the fps also? id like 30 with 720p
FYI I tried putting the stock HTCCamera.apk and odex files in /system/app replaceing the existing stock ones. Inc boots fine but then has no camera/camcorder app. I them tried the Evo camera.apk with the inc .odex. Same result. I also tried just installing the camera.apk from evo and it wouldnt install. I knew it would proably do all of these things but I did them just to verify.
Also looking at the build props from the evo to the inc it looks like the .h263 bitrate is diff.
The inc is set at 2000000 and the evo is set at 6000000.

Can you change the build prop to match and see if that works?
I did but no change. It was changed to 6000000 the whole time i was doing the testing I listed above.
very interested in this.

The max resolutions are already set for 720x1280 by default in the inc's build prop

Me too. Would be dope!

I was poking around last night, it seems as though the camera does not use build.prop for its configuration either anymore or ever. The settings seem to be hardcoded elsewhere. Any ideas?
I have noticed that with some of the custom overclocking kernals the camera app gets broke. Might be built into that as well. Just a thought.

The CM mod rom for the Inc has 720p vid recording enabled. The camera tho only takes up to 3 mp pics. I know you update the kernel and rom when flashing to it so the 720p recording may be in the kernel not the build.prop

I highly doubt the kernel restricts video encoding. Has anyone tried using the modified N1 or Evo camera app? I remember seeing notes in previous build.prop for other models mentioning that encoding specs would be removed from the build.prop's domain--I guess they/HTC finally did it
I tried the evo camera app but it wouldn't work.

even my touch pro had this option in the default camera...
I miss that about my HTC wm phones. Probably the only thing I miss.
+1 I've asked about this before but no response. Even asked on other forums including HTC's. Photostitch is a good attempt, but it really needs to be implemented in the camera app to be useful. I'm not sure why HTC decided to leave that bit of functionality out of Sense for Android.

Can we keep a list of which apps work on the G2 after the MyTouch 4G Rom dump?
So far I've gotten these to work:
Faves
Monopoly

do u have the monopoly apk u can put up
The screen share and wifi calling apps. Work. The mytouch 4g only has game demos though so don't port them.
edit:when i say wifi calling,. i mean video chat
so basically, the only thing worth grabbing off the mytouch rom is screen share and video chat. The games are all demos.
any1 get the FM radio to work? i think its part of the sense framework.
there are some other apps that may be worth getting if you really wanted them. possibly the my modes? it allows you to set to different modes and your phone will act differently. Example...kids mode. turns off calling and messaging, maybe some other stuff.
i saw the media hub in a video demo. seems cool to have music and video on the same screen as oppose to gallery/music apps. didnt try it though. i am not sure what the package name is.
I wanted the email widget... But sadly it doesnt work on my G2. That is the only think I really like about the sense UI.
It would be amazing if somebody could get the flashlight app to work, I love how it has 3 brightness settings like the HD2.

yes... most of the stuff on the mytouch is pretty built into the sense framework and i'm not about to try to port them. if it dont install and play, its beyond me.

i saw the flashlight app but didnt think anything of it. i will see in 2 seconds if it is build into the sense framework (i think thats the obex files that follow some of the apks).
when looking at the apps, flashlight has an apk and a obex file so i think its sense based. sorry dude.
Yeah dude sorry, I should have said I already tried it. I just have no idea about the whole process of de-odexing and all that fun stuff
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
so, i opted to go thru the whole contents of apps and see what i could find. i skipped everything that was obex. my finds are as follows....
the Faves app works fine. though i didnt give it a full test fun.
the faves widget does not seem to work. it will not install as is.
theres a bunch of themes that end with apk. Examples: graffiti.apk, ruby.apk
Interestingly enough, the wifi calling app is called MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-0.
i tried to get the media room app to work but it FCs.
would some1 else like to install media room/ check log why it FC's?
EDIT: seriously can find the FC on a log. and i can read a log for the most part. AND BTW, the faves app isnt worth having. not in my opinion.
EDIT2: rather than take up another post, lemme ask on this one. any1 know more about the rockband apk and why i cant find it on the interwebz? the 1 from mytouch is demo.
did you try any of the themes?

It works, I've been using the flashlight.apk on my Vibrant for 3 weeks now. It won't install, I used root explorer to place it in system/app
where can we get the mt4g dump? or can any one post some of the apks?
i want to get the screen sharing as well as picking up some demos..

I to wanted the dump just for the screen share app but every dump I found in thee mt4g forums wouldn't. Extract. So I found a mt4g rom port in the nexus. Forums download that and it hast the screen share app. Its called twonky mobile. Its kind of pointless tho. U have to connect to a network then use ur tv's or computers to stream the what u wanna watch. Witch I think is pointles cus its was quicker hookin ur usb cord. From ur phone to computer or xbox and just watch them off ur sd. And its a little hard to set up if ur not familiar with dlna and the software. The directions prrovided in the app suck.
Edit: I wouldn't nessisarily call it screen share more like streaming media. Wouldnt work with games. So no wiimot and psx
Hi guys
I originally asked this in the Q&A section a week ago, but I wasn't sure if it belong here in the apps section instead. Since I didn't get any replies, I'm thinking maybe I should have posted it here to begin with. I hope someone in this section might be able to help.
If I'm not supposed to put this in two areas, I apologize. I'm not too forum saavy; just looking for help for my issue.
Thanks a lot guys
--- Original post ---
Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.
I'd love to see the old TW camera on CM9. The ported TW apps thread a couple posts down mentions this, but i haven't seen anyone post a successfully working version yet.
Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can figure it out for us. *crosses fingers*
Wishlist? Anyone?
Lol....I was running the peoples rom last week and was wondering the opposite. If there was a way to put the ics camera on that tw rom. That's an awesome rom and has the tw camera (obviously), but maybe just flash that and try it for a while?
On a side note.....Not sure if its just me, or does does the ics camera take much better (normal) pictures, even when zooming in quite a bit? I've been wondering if something was done in ics to better utilize the camera hardware.

I find the ICS camera to be really nice for just normal pics. Definitely faster and does seem to be on the clearer side. But I'm really needing that old auto panorama/wide shot feature. (non sweeping motion or ghost line up).
Ok so Ive flashed a few roms here and there. Including some of the Cm9 and aokp roms and also some darkside. I found a issue that kept reappearing in every flash, the LED lights at the bottom would not always work properly. They do not light up when you turn the phone on and only light up once unlocked or after 5-6 seconds.. are there any fixes? Ive trying wiping several ways and i always flash according to the OP.
Im now on xtremeperia and I gotta say its the most gorgeous ROM ever. But it still has that problem that will not go away! Ive Pm'd the Dev but they dont have a fix, wondering if anyone else does..
Also heres a question to the Developers. First and foremost I am amazed by the work you guys do! Its great!! Im wondering if one of you guys can design a new camera App, something with a sexier layout! The one found in AOkp and CM9 are just way too boring and makes the phone look cheap as well as the rest of the rom! The stock ones in GB are also a bit boring, wondering if someone can design one that looks like that of what we see on other phones/ as in a better layout. Also a shutter sound that sounds like a real shutter! not the silly nexus ones! lol Not trying to say or offend anyone but im sure lots of folks agree with me on this...
please dont tell me to download a camera app, it feels nice to have a awesome built in camera that is fully functional.
thanks!
First part - AOKP's LED's work perfect for me. Not sure why they at the very least, dont work with CM9.
Second part - Honestly, I doubt any redesigning will take place any time soon... However, you can download other stock apps? Try MIUI's it's nice, and has lots of features. However, it doesn't do video... Stock app for that? - Click here for the camera.

umm.. Isn't a built in camera app an app? Simply put you have to actually install one you download, which takes how long? If you are looking for one that installs with a rom, you could always bake up a rom in the kitchen that installs your 3rd party one of your choice..

Thanks so much for your help. I agree the AOKP july 15 self kang was successful in LED fix.
