Windows Mobile Camera in Background

[invisibleh8]

I have been looking for hours on either software or a hack to make the camera(video) stay on when I am on the main screen. In essence have the video record in the background. I have a lot of memory and like to use the video camera for recording conversions and classes, but I would like to be able to have the camera stay on while in other areas of the phone. The camera program will run in the background but it shuts off the record ing once I leave it. Is there software or better yet a registry hack to make it continue recording? I have been searching with no luck. There has to be others out there that want to record without somebody picking up the phone and knowing you are, or simply use other features of the phone while recording.
TY

I know this is a prehistoric thread that I am bumping (almost three years worth) yet this problem is very irritatingly present on my HD2.
THe builtin camera app won't record in background, settings hkcu\software\htc\camera\deactivate to 0 won't change anything, and same doies changing all the relevant values in the registry altogether.
I tried coolcamera, it has a very spartan interface unusable with a purely touchscreen device, I had to popup LMT's controller to navigate and start recording, but when I did the app didn't work anymore.
So my question is the same, is there currently a background video recording app out there? Seems to absurd to me there isn't, and I can't keep my screen always on while recording video from my car windshield; either that or I'd prefer having recording in background while I navigate with GPS...

that's about another "camera in background" issue :p
Anyway, that regards the diamond, another user said he could use camera in background on his tp2, while there is not current solution for the hd2
