Can we put a 1,3 mpx camera in our Xda II, coz Xda IIi...

[gotcha_mdaII]

something got me thinking last day, can we actualy take a Xda IIi 1,3 mpx camera and put it in our Xda II, i know that the hardware inside is quite different, but the size of the cases and the cameras positions are the same.

And a camera needs only good drivers or software to work fine, I supose, and it seems that the camera is not saldered to the board if we look to the picture of a naked Xda II attached below. There is a guy that started a tread similar to this about replaicing a i-mate jam camera, so he inspired me for this...

That would be soooo sweet.....

I know, that is why i started it, coz it is not that impossible...

I think it is do-able, especially there seems to be a 1.3mp camera version of the Himalaya named 'Andes'.
If the only difference between Andes and Himalaya is the camera I cannot see why it should not be possible . . .
Maybe you do need another case, because the back-side of the Andes is different from the Himalaya back-side.

Oh now i see, so Andes is a Hima with 1,3 mpx camera. That simplyfies the thing, now the question is how to get one of this cameras.

Is there someone who knows some spare parts shop on the net that is selling it?

And i also think that the xda II mini, xda IIi and the HTC Andes have the same camera, coz it would be a waste of money for HTC if they did different cams..

I seriously doubt that this would work..
Simply bcause the amount of data from a 1.3 MP cam is way bigger than the data amount from the 0.3 MP.. And the registrys might be too small..

"Buffer overflow" comes to mind..
If you got any data at all, I'd think you got the first or last 0.3 MP...
IF ANY AT ALL...

Just my two cents..

[gotcha_mdaII]

I don't think that would be a problem, as HTC had this upgrade already in mind from the beginning as we see , and the buffer size should be controled just with the drivers or software, but I can also be wrong...

And there is no Temp folder for the camera view, the captured data is just dispayed on the screen and it is not memorized anywhere
