HTC Camera 4.11 (ELF/HTC Touch)

[gullum]

I've been trying to get it to work for about a week now.

It's much cooler then the original camera from Prophet no need for a stylus to control the settings anymore.

it's working with my padviet 4.0.0.0.4 and am not shure if it works on other roms so feel free to try it out and see how it works

but be aware it installs like 5.9 mb on your phone and I just got it working so there are prob some bugs and might drain battary like the 4.03 version did.


5. July 2007

Full version (http://rapidshare.com/files/41077094/HTC_Camera_4.11.exe.html) --> install is about 3.9 Mb

OEM Pack (http://rapidshare.com/files/41581485/HTC_Camera_4.11.rar.html)


Beta 2:
still battary drain problem but better then the first version
but if jesters ide works and we get the battary driver from ELF working with our Prophet. that might solw most of our draining problems


Uppdate: PDAmobiz
This camera is fully compatable with the new PDAMOBIZ rom Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314828)

The Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4 rom uese more battary then padviet but when instaling the camera it does not increas battary drain because it is sharing most of the dll's with the other tousch apps.

Uppdate: 2
Several have asked for change in oriantation I don't know if it is possable but will still try to find a solution. if seems logical why the oriantation is as it is. the version 4.03 witch is around here somwhere also for left handed control because its made for never devices with a sliding keybords that automatic change oriantation to left hand display when sliding out the keyboard. and the camera bottom of the ELF (HTC Touch) is also placed on the othere side.

after several tests with PDAMobiz touch rom I have come to the concluction that the camera is working as it should and no need for more developing.

I will uppload a version that is made specialy for the PDAMobiz touch rom. without dll's that are already inside the rom. but you can still use the beta2 one, as it only over writes the dll's and that will not affect the other apps that share the dll's.
I'll allso upload a version that has all the dll's that should work with all WM6 roms.

Update:3

I will not nake any never version as of now. I'm insted working on a Prophet Touch rom with all of the HTC Touch stuff.

I will maybe make an update version of the Camera later on when I'm finished with the new rom ...... or maybe you will all just use my new rom :D

Thank you very much.very nice. I'll give it a try.

[scumslush]

Many Thanks.............

[skylow]

Nice Application.
But it slows down my Prophet hard.
I think not everything from the Touch ist good for the Prophet.
Most of the aplications kost a lot of preformance.

[jacmat]

I like the new htc camera soft, but the drain battery issue is a big problem


Anyway, I will try the cab to experiment if it solves the problem

thx for share it

[NetrunnerAT]

too bugy ... it slowdown the prophet extremly! this app is useless but looks cool. i try to insert in a rom ... some touch apps works faster!

[FerretAD]

It works nicely for me... But I got two questions.

1. Why has it got your name written on it gullum?
2. How do I change the screen orientation ?

1. because I riped it from the ELF (HTC touch) rome and put it together and made it work. therefor my name I just like people to know I did it :P

2. Don't know. but I'm trying to find out


anyway a beta 2 version is on the way

I've managed to squice out 1 mb and it's running better

[Gdmom]

can anyone post screen shots and review? waiting....

[jacmat]

hi gullum,

nice soft, very fast and reliable, but battery drain is the problem, i hope beta2 will solve it, because I love this htc soft for our prophet

thx for your work and waiting for news

[Prislav]

Power on: 100-110 mAh
Power off: 30-40 mAh
Resume: uninstall

Sorry mate, I didn't realise you did the work http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

And when you know how to change the orientation, please let me know - Ta :)

[mewwoo]

yeah, program works well...

only issue is the wrong screen orientation... have to figure it out.

look forward to receiving expert's solution...

Hi

Nice camera software, thanks for sharing and your hard work, but I think in my opinion the original one is still better than cool camera or this one, but the problem is there is a limit on recording video on the 2G sd card, this one don't have. Also this one don't save as bmp, the original camera software can set to 1m(BMP) which gives a better picture quality than 2M jpeg.

How to I install the original camera software again? do I just uninstall this one.

Thanks

[xvx45]

Yeah work fine on PDAMobiz v2b4, Fantastic app' !
Thank you for that ! On the v2 I think the backlight is the reason of battery drain, with low backlight in windows I lost 1% in 2 hours but 1% in 5min of camera (the older or this beta, consumption is the same). So Very good application here and, of course, no ROM slow down.

[tonydeli7]

working nice on PDAMobiz v2b4!thanks gullum!very nice app,mate.

[onesolo]

I have two questions. Is it possible to revert back to the default camera app by simply uninstall this one??
When you guys talk that this camera app drains too much batt, when does it drain? Only when the camera app is on, right??

[ric69]

And when you know how to change the orientation, please let me know - Ta :)

I'd like to know too ;) (nothing on settings)

Thanks for this work ;)

[FerretAD]

I've just noticed another problem... I set it to save files to my Storage Card, but it's putting them in a different folder: "/Storage Card/DCIM/100MEDIA" - My Digital Camera does this too.

But it should be saving pictures to "/Storage Card/My Documents/My Photos"

I've noticed that too but within the regestry I've set it to store in "My Photos and My Videos" my guess is that I've have to take a look inside the exe file and see whats there

Power on: 100-110 mAh

Any idea on how to get this to work on a Trinity?

[congbaobao]

thanks for sharing u effort
now im trying this software and it is woking well in my phone.

[gullum]

Any idea on how to get this to work on a Trinity?

I'm shure that with verry litle modification it should run on any device... and my next phone might be a trinity so I have to make it work on there too :D

it's prob just some dll's that need to be changed

Yeah, that would make sense, they wouldn't create a device-specific camera. But I've been trying to make it run on the Trinity and it always returns "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.", I've tried to remove the new oem driver(HTCCamera.dll/HTCCameraUtility) and some other dlls for it to use the existent ones, some registry settings related to avsource filters or something like that. But the best I got was a prompt to select between memory or storage card, after that it either freezes or returns that error message.

If you have any suggestions I can try them out.

[sergitec]

Any one try others dll´s ?

I want this software, please!!! :(

[kinson]

does it work in Hermes? thanks a lot.

[vn1977]

Just tested it on an 8525... can't initialize the camera. Driver issue, maybe?

you need your own 8525 S5K3BAFX.dll,HTCCamera.dll in /windows folder after installing gullums cab i suppose

How can I change in HTC Camera, the default name for saving image and video files into date-time like in older program?

[Martinhdk]

Change the save directory from SD to internal memory. Then you get the option back in advanced settings (camera settings)..

[rasa]

I've been trying to get it to work for about a week now.
you will all just use my new rom :D

hi Gullum,

looks good and sound working on o2 xda but when i push the camera buttoms then it display the screen opposite then camera buttoms . is there any way to make it it should be but so far i haven't got enough time for testing for battery drain .

i will let u know if there is any battery drain.


thanks, all afford for our ppc.

[enjoithis]

Where can i get 8525 S5K3BAFX.dll,HTCCamera.dll files?

I cant get my camera working at all, not just your application.

[Rhjasp]

Good days, someone knows please if the new chamber(camera) can turn htc 5.0.4.2915.00 of the KAISER for the prophet?.

Thank you very much

[l3v5y]

Thankyou Gullum! Hasn't crashed yet :D

[l3v5y]

I think the main reason the camera is 'the wrong way' is that the newer devices (like the touch and touch dual) have the camera button on the opposite side (where the IR is on our prophets) and so HTC have written an app that works for them...

[black_shadow69]

ok..
thanks..
i will try...

[erklix]

Thanks, im gonna try it.

I como back later because i've got a problem.
When i start the camera it says
"Can not initializate the camenra. Error al configuring de camera device."
"No se puede inicializar la camara. Error al configurar el dispositivo de camara"
Can you help me please.
Thanks.

[l3v5y]

It might be because of:
The ROM.
The current camera setup
You might need to restart the device after installing.

[CLCL]

Hi people let's see if anyone can help me :)

That may be because of the language of your ROM. Does it work with a WWE ROM?

[CLCL]

Sorry but what is WWE ROM?

[l3v5y]

World Wide English. An English ROM rather than a localised ROM.

[CLCL]

i only trie in gullum coffe PT maybe you are write only works in english rom because now i remember it already works but in english rom.
Thanks friend i have to ask gullum if it put working in PT too :)

[erklix]

I did restart after installin.
I thing it has to be some config file or soething like that, i found another cam version that after installing the camera package use a cab to activate the cam.
But, nothing, still looking and trying solutions.
Anyone can help?

Thanks.
