Hi Everybody,
Finally i got this wonderful phone, i've always been a supporter of htc since one X.
I read about the ultrapixel resolution and so on but, i read that there was a modified apk
that improves the camera on M8. I think the user was Jishnu that make the apk, than i discovered
that this user is banned form xda for some violation or something, i found him on G+ and i download
some file, also M9 camera, and flashed it, the phone starts but entered the boot loop, so i erase everything
and installed a custom rom, the android revolution hd 53.1, i've already used this rom and i've always been happy with it.
Now i'm testing it and maybe i've some problem with battery drain but my question is another, can someone of you tell
me where i can get a right apk to improve the camera? I saw some picture taken with that mod and the improvements were
awesome! I know i won't get pictures like my last 13Mpx camera but at least i want some better details, colors and so on!
Please help me! Lead me to the right way to get the best from my phone! Thanx!
PS I was almost convinced to move to M9, but i have this phone just since one month and i read the also the M9 camera is not so good,
so i'll wait for M10 maybe htc will finally put a good camera on that phone....

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.
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

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).
Hi there Gurus !
I'm hoping you guys can help...
I've recently bought a phone which was unlocked when I got it (Android Revolution HD 7.0.2 by Mike1986)
The photo below shows the camera on my old HTC Desire HD on the left and the new one on the right. Admittedly, I could have focused both cameras on the subject better, but that's not really the issue. As you can see, the colours on the new phone look posterized.
I've made sure to set the camera back to it's default settings and of course there were no effects being added to the image.
I've also tried fiddling with all the settings (Exposure / Contrast / Satruration / Sharpness / White Balance etc. etc.) but every setting still produces these dodgy colours around everything.
It's probably worth mentioning that I've also tried the [Desire HD Camera guide] on this site and the obvious cleaning of the lens !
I'm really hoping you guys can suggest something that will get this camera working. Because the phone is awesome in all other respects !
Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to post outside links in my message, so you should find the picture as an attachment...
All help appreciated !!
Thanks,
Wotney

...This doesn't bode well !
Let's see.
New phone, rooted, running custom rom, Right?
Does the issue happen on stock? Didn't check?
Does it happen if you full wipe and install again? Does it happen on another rom?
Is it normal? Two different dhd's can have different componenets.
No idea what you mean by posterized.
Bottom line is, if you've tried the above suggestions, it's a new phone, and if it's a hardware issue, use your warranty. The dhd has a two year warranty in most countries if not all.

Hey - thanks very much for the reply...
It's a new phone to me, not brand new. Although I don't think it's been used properly before. Looks like someone got an upgrade and sold it to one of these companies that then sells it on for them.
I bought it from eBay and the rom was already on there when I got it.
I'm hoping you can see the attached thumbnails at the bottom of my first post - it shows me holding another Desire HD next to the new one. If you look at the image difference - you'll see what I mean by posterized.
I haven't done a full wipe and start again yet, because if I can't get it fixed - I need to return it to the seller.
Whilst I'm prepared to do that - I'd rather get it working !
If there's no other ideas from people, it looks like that is what I'll have to do
Try flashing another rom. Go for any gb rom. If you don't know how to full wipe and swap roms let me know.
Make a backup of that rom before, so that if you still have the issue, you just restore the backup and return it. As long as you don't have all your personal info in the phone.

Teichopsia, Once again - thanks for getting back to me.
I'm going to check with the person I got it from that they'll still accept a return of the phone if I go ahead and try that.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks buddy.
Hello all,
First post, sorry its a question..
The back camera on M8 is making strange pictures, if any at all (see attachment).
Front camera is working fine.
Got my M8 for 1 year now, never had problems with the camera.
mm-qcamera-daemon is running high on batt usage.
Stock camera app will most of the time open and then close again, sometimes i can make strange pictures like above.
I don't have an other camera app running
It's rooted and i'm running
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
Android 4.4.2
HTC sense v6.0
HTC SDK API 6.17
I do know there are a lot of updates from the above versions. But its running so wel all these time that i don't need a upgrade (still up to 5 days on a full batt :good
I did clear the cache from the camera app, I don't have lastpass installed.
Does anyone seen a picture like this (except from a good/bad trip)? And how did they fix it.
All input is appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.
One of two things is going on. Either the camera module has gone bad OR you dont have the correct software to run the camera or that software has gone corrupt.
I see your running a custom rom so my suggestion would be go back to complete stock and re-test. If it fails its a hardware issue.

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have any clue if the same software is used for the front and back camera? Front is working perfect so that would mean a hardware issue.
I will start with returning to stock, quickest way to see if it's hardware related.
The camera modules are different. Back has ultra pixel and front is a megapixel.
Since its easier to change software it makes sense to go back to complete stock for testing. Then if it still fails its probably hardware.
Hi everyone.
Yesterday i got my new OnePlus 7T. After a while I saw one post about gcam here on xda. There was 6.2 gcam, 7.2 gcam and one xml file that was marked as 6.2. I tried installing 7.2 and ran it without installing xml file before as i thought that was for 6.2 and 7.2 would have it inside.
So i run gcam 7.2 and while zooming camera became completely green or even red (only in the part you can see the image not the app). Closed it, opened stock camera just to see if it still worked but now even the stock camera is making that green screen.
Reboot etc. now when i open instagram and try to shoot a selfie with a filter, it completely freezes the camera until i close ig. I can only see camera working again when i open it again.
Anybody can help? Do i need to ask for a replacement for it since it arrived yesterday?
Seriously? Not a single ****ing one that can help me? This is not the forum i used to know, xda just want money now isn't it? **** off

I’ve to some ideas, but if you’re going to be an asshole, you can sort it yourself.
Sure I will

Maybe you should go into the gcam thread and ask for the help there don't you think? Me personally I don't take pictures like that and if I would I'll just use the stock camera so I obviously ain't no help, I can't speak for everyone else.
