I DL'd the Camera v2.7 installer from one of the threads here. I love how this app handles indoor pictures, even if the display still doesn't look as if it's doing anything.

I would like to change the Camera shortcut in the Programs directory and Start Menu to point to this new application instead (It is also stored in \Windows). Aside from installing Resco File Explorer, is there any other way to do this?

Also: Just in case, where are the registry settings for this camera app? Does it use the same ones the old camera app uses?

Try Total Commander maybe it can do it for you. Or copy the shortcuts to your PC & change them there, don't forget to copy them back :-)

Not sure whether the same reg.keys/values are used.

Thanks.

Total Commander works. I'll keep it around. ^_^

Copying the shortcut to WinDOS doesn't work (XP Professional); the path is greyed out when the link is on the phone, and if you take it out to your desktop, Windows won't recognize it as a valid link.

PS: The new camera performs better if there's a source of light _in front of_ it. Without one it's as bad as the old. Taking a pic of my PC monitor works wonders, but attempting to take a pic of the corridor with the monitor behind me produces grainy results (evening time 6pm).

Can't complain, tho. At least the pic of my monitor isn't grainy anymore. Next camera version should be perfect, I hope. <_<

I got the same 2.7 version with my 1.13WWE rom & it's performing nice in good light conditions. Other conditions are not to discuss :-(. I'm trying to get the 3.0 version working, but the fellow with this version isn't capable of dumoing the cab, not to speak of finding all related reg.keys. Too bad.

Btw I moved the camera & album apps to my internal storage & changed links, reg etc. Works OK & saves a lot of RAM.

[Edit]
Forgot to mention that updating the values (brightness, contrast etc) in HKLM\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\General

Will change the default camera settings, so you don't have to change them after switching from 'night' to 'daylight' etc.
