I'm loving MIUI have everything I want working on it except the camera. I noticed that when I transfer my pictures to my computer the resolution is not as good as the pics that I took with the HTC camera in other ROMs. The pictures are like half the size and when I enlarge them to the size of the other pics they become pixelated.
I copied the "HTCCamera.apk" (the Evo version with the onscreen capture button) from UncommonSense 1.1 ROM to my sd card. But when I try installing it in MIUI it tells me the following:
"This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All previous user data will be saved"
I click "yes" Then it tells me: "Application not installed"
Do I need to push it through ADB? If so can you give me the commads?
Thanks

I hate the stock camera too

I was wondering if there is a way to use either volume button as a shutter while in the camera app. I've been looking around in the forums but I've only seen threads about using those buttons as power buttons.
Thanks
Retro camera in the market can do it.
this was fixed with style before the evo came out
Dude fx camera zoom is a beast I have been using it it let's you remap any keys or even take it via audio command but in full quality 8mp plus it wouldn't be " fx camera" without some sick fx... UI is great got the volume keys on mine doing zoom with voice activated timer so I could still take the pics really just a whole lot of options bought it 2 years ago on the g1 and a hidden gem of an app
This is already available via the Camera Zoom FX app on the market. Not free, but is there. However I have found that it is buggy as hell.
Bugs I have noticed:
1. Pictures won't save. It's like they are stored in the cache. You take a picture, go to gallery to view it and it won't be there. If you reboot the phone it will be.
2. The "FX" don't always work. There are several effects that come stock with the app. They frequently don't do what they are supposed to or won't load at all. I have found that you can exit the program via the back buttons and then start it again to get the FX to load, but even that has stopped working.
3. It actually asks you to download Task Killer the first time you open the app. Going on about camera apps using memory and all. So in other words it has a memory leak and instead of fixing it they want you to manually kill the task.
It does what some in this thread are asking for. However I wouldn't suggest you buy it.
And can I get a mod to verify my account so I can post faster than every 5 minutes... getting this message:

Wish granted!
I was bored this morning. So i decided to make one... for free! (Also no ads!)
It's called: "Simple Cam" made by Insanity Systems on the android market. (unfortunately i can't post the link because i'm a new user it seems... if anybody's kind enough to do so in a reply i would appreciate it!)
it's 15k in size (and i think most of that is the PNG icon to be fair).
Super simple to use: Volume up to take a snap; Volume down to set the flash.
Saves pictures to sd card in folder "cameraPictures".
ENJOY!
P.S. Have a go at the other apps as well maybe you'll find something you like.

also, this feature is a part of cm7 already
Its strange i have used Quickmark since having my and never had a problem, now when i try to use it it force closes, if i try to use barcode scanner it does the same and finally if i use QRdvark it force closes also so its a problem somewhere
heres some details - in SGS tools their is a hack to use the lock button to take the picture so i did this, one day my camera kept saying failed so i tried to revert back to the original camera in SGS tools, all this did was take off the camera shortcut so i could not access my camera so the only thing i could do was go back to using the hack, i have no issue now with the camera or video recorder but im thinking it as something to do with this.
i was going to factory reset but i use OCLF and im not sure if i can do it right away or if i have to disable OCLF 1st???
please if someone could help of point me in the correct direction
many thanks
Did you change your e-mail program from stock to the Galaxy Tab one for example?
If so, try putting the old email.apk back. This should restore camera functions for third-party apps.

It is quite random that the Email.apk has effect on the camera preview...
I think this was not the case with android 2.1 and 2.2.

Indeed it's quite strange that changing to the galaxy tab email made it so I could not use any barcode reader at all, all I know is it did effect it and MrMagic is a star for fixing my issue extremely fast
I can happily live without using the new emailemail until I flash a custom ROM I just really don't want to lose everything and start from the, beginning again.
Hi SGS Folks!
Have you seen how the new Sony's Cameras capture Panorama Photos by moving the Camera all the way the scene you want to capture?
Well today a beta app developed by Sony can do that in our Mobile Phones...
I've found the app in the original thread for a X10 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116055 and i've corrected the script so we can also enjoy this beauty app...
DISCLAIMER!!!
Always do a back first in case it breaks anything and i'm not responsible if anything happens to your house, your town, your country or your dog... Use it at your own risk though it doesn't mean a major threat since the propetary files go to framework without breaking recovery or something else...
Instructions:
1.- Download and flash through CWM 3+ this script:
1.1 - Download Script
The script contains two SE Propietary files needed for the app to work.
2.- Download and install the attached app named:com.sonyericsson.panorama.apk
Install the app normally through any explorer like a side load.
3.- Enjoy!
Attached you may also find a few pictures taken it really works good on daylight!
Glad my work? Buy me a Beer!
hi mate,
you can already this on the Galaxy S using default camera app. Go to the shooting mode setting and select panorama view from there.
Thanks!
I know we can do this from the Stock Camera but what about the people running on CM7? I heard that it can't be done right?
Anyway i think it's a cool app to have
And in stock camera the picture size is 640*480
Thanx for the app,
Viva Guate!
Enviado desde mi galaxy s
so using this app, i can take panorama picture with full 5Mp.?
does this work in CM7 on others phone??
ie: nexus one/ htc desire
Yes it does. Go in the Android app and games forum. I've made the files for specific phones...

You can use the camera in portrait mode, and get a quite large picture that is 640 vertical, if your hand is steady. Mine wasn't when I was testing this afternoon, and I got only 1968 by 544 (I think it throws away the strips that don't match among all the pictures - so the steadier you are, the larger the vertical number of pixels will be.
"Application not installed" when I try to install it after flashing the CWM package first. I'm on Insanity CM 17. Would love to see this work as I used the panorama mode freguently with Samsung Roms.
just google photaf .... that's much better than this one and it's not beta.
Finding this to be a great app! Easy to use and pretty intuitive.
cant get this to work...
followed the instructions on the first post but keep getting "application not installed"
CM7 nightly #47
hi

thanks

Panorama Beta on SGH t989
Hi folks i know i don't have the same phone as you, and it's been described as "only a galaxy s2 by name" fairly often on these forums, but i'm very much a fan of this app, sony panorama. I had it on my evo 3d, and even with the built in panorama feature in the galaxy s2 phones, i feel this one works much better for uninterrupted panoramic shots, whereas the galaxy s2 feature stitches pictures together resulting in blurs where the stitching takes place and discontinuity of the image.
Anyways. i apologize for this being my first post i have actually been reading around these forums for quite some time, just never signed up for an account.
i was wondering if the file listed here for flashing could be changed to work for the SGH T989, as i have used several files meant for the 19000 such as the v6 supercharger. However, i have also tried to flash a bootanimation only to find under further research that my stock rooted rom does not have an "insecure kernel" and can't flash bootanimations and the like.
So yeah, i was basically wondering if the reason the flash did not work is the same as the bootanimation, and if there's anything you can do to help me obtain this awesome app.
SGH t989 Stock Rooted Rom
I was using the evo4 camera on my Froyo Inc. I updated to the rooted OTA GB and have not been able to get the evo4 camera apk to install.
I really liked having the onscreen picture button instead of the trackball or the tap and hold picture take option.
I have tried several ways to get this installed. If anyone has done it, I would appreciate a walk through.

i think you need the evo GB camera because they might have changed something in the Inc GB that makes this not work anymore.
Guess I will head over to the evo forum.
Thank you. Wasn't sure if it was my method. Probably changed something up.
I forgot a step. Evo4 camera installed
Looks like I had to run the adb shell and first move the HTCCamera.apk to the app.disabled folder.
Without rebooting, I installed the above file through CWM Recovery from the SD card.
Rebooted the phone and I have the old evo4 camera on my GB Inc.
Looks like I spoke too soon. The camera and camcorder open but FC when I try to snap a picture or record video.
I've been trying get this working as well, I pulled this camera from an evo GB rom. It works without force closing, but there is a small graphical glitch after snapping a pic.
I have the evo camera working but you have to set the review duration to no review or else it force closes.
That got it working.
Video recording work on this? I hate using the trackball to take pics. If video recording works might have to install.
Camera and camcorder work. You need to set the review time at no review.
So, always loved my SG2 camera, but never tranfers any of the pics to my desktop into yesterday. So i do not understand how come, whenever i just go to my SD card, right click, copy and paste into my new folder, the pictures are so small when i open them. I am using high resolution, 8MP, so the size themself should be big. Anyone knows why this is happening?
this has happened to me too, but i have another question . Why is it that when i want to upload a picture online or here it loads it sideways? Anybody know how to fix this?
thanks...
Well, ok, at least i am not the only suffering some type of issues. Hope someone can help us.
What ROM are you guys using? Some roms say the camera is supported but sometimes it's not FULLY supported. So, you could set it to 8MP but infact the ROM only supports up to 5MP.
If you're using a custom ROM, try using a different camera app from the market, set it to the highest resolution, then import to your computer. It might work, or might not. If it doesn't work, you might need a new kernal to fix the camera.
Also, on your phone, check the properties/details on on of your pics, make sure it's the same as what you set it as.
