Hi Xmoo
I don't understand, what do u mean by using the Xperia Camera on the Touch HD , does this mean that there is a replacement software for the HD camera, cos the current camera software on HD is not up to my expectation most comes out blurry despite the settings found here in this great forum pages... I'm sure the camera on the HD is capable of much more given the 5 MP it uses.
Cheers
You state its faster. in what way??? focus?
is there a way of using a soft map to fake the button assignment? surely its looking for ButtonX
Hi all,
I'm @ belgium now.
When I go home I will make a demo video and also share the files here.
I just copied the Camera software from the Xperia and pasted it on the root of my SD card on the Touch HD.
Opend it and it worked (kinda)
can you share that app with us?
i'm getting crazy with the hd camera. it's working outdoor at perfect light conditions, but as soon as you don't have ideal conditions, it's unusable...
It's very interesting... could you share this with us?
thanks!
I've added the cab in post #1.
Just extract it on ur phone, and start the .exe
The screen is very dark. To try and see how fast the cam works.
Point ur phone to laptop/pc monitor or television.
Don't know why it's so dark. Think it's a driver issue or somethin.

Thanks for posting. Re darkness it seems like it is not programmed for the lens position on the HD. When I go close to a screen can see a pinhole lens effect. Could be probably wrong ;-)

But do you notice the screen speee?
It is indeed much faster and more responsive. I wonder if a port is possible?

Must admit I didn't but the room is dark and could not see much at all. Will try it in daylight.

No didn't see much difference but it's difficult without having any buttons available and just looking at a darkened screen. Hope we will see something come of it. I don't have such expertise or time unfortunately.
Press the volume button.
You will se a menu. But no options

Yes I did see that a grey square. Very frustrating. Do you think it is worth posting in Development and Hacking to find someone more clever than us?
Always worth trying. After all, this may benefit not only to Blackstone.
I renamed the CameraRunner.exe to Camera.exe and copied all files uploaded by xmoo to the Windows folder. When I did that it becomes the main camera for the device and by pressing around on the screen new options appear but still with no text. I somehow did manage to change the camera to video while pressing around on the screen and also managed to make the screen go white for some reason and could see the lens working faintly like when it is black.
Took some poor quality shots of what I got. Can you confirm where the Xperia camera files are located on the Xperia device?
Managed to get the original HTC camera back after overwriting the Xperia one I renamed.
Sorry to create a new thread just for this question.
I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere in here, someone posting a registry tweak to change the default application run when you press camera button.
I've already try to search it, but I can't find it
Can someone please show me the link?
Also, which one have the better quality picture, the default Xperia camera or HTC camera?
I hate the default one because it take a while to take a picture
Thank you
You can change the registry entry, HKLM/Software/Sony Ericsson/Camera/ and change the key to point at where the HTC camera is.

I tried this but it's not working it displays message something about CameraRunner.exe...
In my experience, the Sony Ericsson (hw key) camera works better, performance-wise.

Of course SE camera is better.
HTC camera is too slow and it can't enable front camera
Before I got my arc, I had an LG Optimus Seven and with it it was possible to take photos, when the device was locked (screen off).
It was easier to take pictures when I had dirty hands or wearing bandages...
I find it ugly to unlock the device to take photos...!
Hope someone can help or write an tool for this...
Thanks in advance!

hello--i made the exact same move (from optimus 7).
i think the locked mode to camera is a wp7 feature and not available to andriod w/o hacks.
I'd love to be able to take pics, without unlocking the phone. Maybe someone can make an app that opens the camera when long-pressing the camera button and then when you push the back button or turn off the phone, it would go back to being locked. Hope this is possible.

Then someone would request saying that every time the camera switch on by itself in the pocket or handbag . LOL.
Widgetlocker lockscreen. It allows you to make a second lock to whatever you want (so photo if you want )

The button is so small and hard to press, I do not think anyone can experience this...
On my old phone it did not happen either.
The button has also 2 pressure points, to take first the focus and than the picture.
Custom Rom developers grant me this wish!

No clues here brought me to change the arc with the galaxy2.
When I have an phone with a shutter, which is only useful, when in the camera apply and unlocked, I don't really need this anymore.
Sony, you had your chance after the first xperia and you miss it!
The G2 has a lot more power, a Frontcam, much internal storage (apps2sd and then the sd is broken?!) And so on...
With the G2 its possible to activate the camera with the homebutton long pressed and than take photos with the power button.
I thought someone can program this too for the arc, but nobody here seems to be interested in using that small 2 presszones shutterbutton wisely...
That was the reason for me to buy the arc...
All new androids had no camerabuttons!
What was yours?
Sony Fans?
Or do they trick and blend you like me?

hi, after updating to the Xperia S to ICS 4.0.4
screenshot function is gone from the powerbutton menu.
i read that holding down power button and volume down, should make a screenshot, but this doesn't work on my phone.
anyone know how to capture the screen from the device ? or is this builtin option lost?
Hold power button plus volume down together for 2 seconds.
that doesn't work!

Than you're doing it wrong, or you removed the apk responsable for that (can't remember if it is an apk, anyway).
the phone is stock 4.0.4, only rooted with 1 click root method.
and sure.. doing it wrong, pressing power & volume down?!! you explain to me how pressing those 2 buttons can be done wrong??
i read elsewhere that other people also have this issue, it simply doesn't work on some Xperia S devices.
apparently mine too.
thanks anyway for your insight...
maybe someone else knows more?
Works fine
i dont know why it doesnt work for you but works for me.

Don't press one then the other... do it at the same time. Also I can't explain why but try volume up and power once and see what happens... but its a native function of ICS... should work on all devices.

This is will reboot the device. And OP, you surely is doing something wrong. It works perfectly for me on stock ICS and PA.
ok guys , thanks for advice!
i'll keep trying, hope i don't break the buttons )

If you're rooted and can't get it to work just install a screen capture app?
Sent from my XperiaS via transwarp conduit.
Which firmware are u using?
And u root it with root many droid or other 1-click method?
How do u take a screenshot as told by others? When do u take it? Which scene are u at when u take it?
This happened to someone back when I had the galaxy s2 it's just like an odd one out of the bunch I guess

It is because those apps are running with Hardware decoding, not software.

If you're on unlocked bootloader, no known way to recover it for now. I don't know exactly on how to make it software rendered on Movies App.

screencast is perfect for what you want. i made a video with it 1 and a half years ago on an Galaxy s and worked fine, your Xperia should fly throw it
