Forcing the Camera to work? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey the sense 4.0 ROM that I flashed this morning gets into the camera app but theres no preview just a black screen, is it possibe to make it work using 3rd Party camera apps?

Anyone??

There is no ICS drivers for Desire Z. On AOKP ROMs without Sense, we don't need the drivers. People tried to use other camera apps to get camera working, but it didn't worked.

HTC Sense Camera App

Hey !
I am running a custom ROM by Cyanogen on my HTC Desire. I have tried several applications for using the camera but none even come close to the Sense Camera App which is present in the factory ROM.
Where can I get it back from ? And how do I install it ?
I've tried installing the apk on several non sense roms and it just wont work. I don't think its possible

That's disheartening to hear! I might just consider switching to the original rom if there isn't a way to install it on cyanogen

You won't be able to run a Sense app (in this case HTC Camera) on an AOSP ROM.
The Sense app relies on Sense libs which are copyright protected and belongs to HTC. That's why none ASOP ROM uses HTC Camera (as they don't include the required libs). Also to make it work on a ROM which does not include the Sense libs, this would requires patches, or a port of the required libraries which is, if not impossible, at least very difficult.
Personnaly, I do prefer AOSP ROMs (and finally ended with Oxygen) as I prefer the advantages of these ROMs compared to Sense ones. I do occasionnaly use other application to take photos and I can live without the HTC camera app (which I must recognize is quite good).
Damn it! Well anyway thanks for your help.
Btw can u suggest a camera app which is good enough? The stock android camera sucks donkey balls and camera 360 is not that great either.

HTC sense apps won't work on cm7.
This is the mod I use on cm7 and it seems to work fine for me.

X people.

Alright you x using folk lol. I have a one s
You've got cm9 from tripraver etc. What camera does it use?
Just curious as we have cm9 with issues regarding the cam.
I'm asking is your cam the ics cam app?
It'd be good to know how he got it working alright without source...anyone have any ideas?

no idea as i haven't tried trip's CM9 yet. i'd guess it's not using the sense framework (unlike MIUI) hence no HTC camera, but the AOSP one.
why don't you ask here?

It's using the stock CM9 camera, Trip claims to have hacked camera drivers himself and built them from source - make of that what you will.

stock camera works, if you're not happy with it, theres always 3rd party and in my case, they all seem to work. Try out apps like Camera FV-5, Zoom FX, Fast Burst Camera etc etc.
The only thing not working in ICS is videocam... but u can use a 3rd party app to replace it. eg:Videocam Illusion.
I think he asks about sense 4 roms . There is no sense 4 roms for desire hd with working camera. It's a kernel problem. If u need camera just use a senseless ics or stick with gingerbread. As soon as htc realises the kernel source or ics leaks for desire hd or we get official ics there will be working camera.

Yes, I want it with sense 4.
but the Desire S is similar to the DHD? HTC has released the kernel 2 .. for both
but in the section desire S is the kernel 3.0.
With that the camera works, in desire s
Do you know if I can use the DS kernel on DHD and if the camera works?
take as an example a "C&L Full Sense 4 ROM" for DS... have kernel 3.0

Nope, you can't use the DS kernel with DHD. You'll just have to wait a few weeks for a leak/release

Using stock AOSP keyboard on Sense.

I have switched between Sense and AOSP countless times and the thing I noticed was that the keyboard on Sense is slower.
On AOSP it responds immediatly, I even notice it now on AOKP.
Now my question, how would I get the AOSP keyboard on Android Revolution 7.2.1? I have already tried extracting the AOSP keyboard from an AOSP rom and putting it in system/apps but it wouldn't open, just force close, any ideas?
Thanks!

Put the .apk file in ROM zip/system/app, reboot in recovery, reflash the ROM without wiping. Reboot and done.

I have tried that too, but when I changed the keyboard to the Google AOSP one, it just force closed and wouldn't open any keyboard.
Anyone know which one will work on Android Revolution?
You can also download them from the market.

Why not try Go Keyboard, I have been using it when I was on sense roms and it was fast, and has many add-on languages.
Hi,
I hate the stock sense keyboard, and as I've been running ARHD for a while, I just got a third party keyboard from the market...
For info, this one works well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/....android.inputmethod.latin.ice_cream_sandwich
