HTC Camera Counter

[nowimboard]

Good evening again peoples,

Last thing I'm sorting out on the phone after the rom upgrade it the camera. just spent the last two hours sorting out all the file names and order of my images and put them on the phone again.

However the camera's counter is set to 1. I found a tweak on the Polaris forum

Ok guys, I got a tricky one: how to set the camera image counter to a custom value?

Everytime I hardreset my Polaris the damn application starts counting up from IMG0001.JPG again... HTF can I manually set that to the latest picture taken?

Edit: Was a tricky one but I solved it myself. Under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Camera\5.04\Prefere nces] you'll find an entry VALUES. Change bit 0068 to the desired value in hex. Example: Mine was 06 and resulted in IMG0006.JPG, I now changed to 74 which equals 116 in hex, my next pic will be named IMG0116.JPG
Got it?

But there isn't 5.04 folder on my Nike. Is there anyone that could tell me what to do?!

I've managed to sort out the registry so that the phone saves to Storagecard/mydoc~/mypictures. And also has a prefix of Image_ I just need help with this one last thing!

Thanks in advance!

The key will match the camera version in your ROM - for example, I've got a key 5.06. Just look inside whatever key you have.

Thanks!

I cant believe how dim I was! I know that I'm just starting out with flashing roms and editing registries.. but I had a "blonde" moment

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER" isn't listing on my phone, but HKCU is...

Thanks!!!!!


EDIT: Anyone know what the correct HEX for 402 is? On line calculators are telling me 192 however the phone is telling me that "192" isn't a valid string! Isn't it supposed to have letters in?

I haven't looked at it but I would guess that the reg key is divided up into 2 character bits each of which will go up to a maximum of FF (255 in decimal).

So, yes 192 is hex for 402 but you can't set one bit that high.

Just what I expect to be the case.

Thank you for your help RandomE,

I'll think I'll PM schaggo to see if he can offer any suggestions.

So do you think that you would split up the 192 Hex code to "FF" & "93"?

whoa guys, somebody actually called for my help, yay! :D
ok, I reflashed my polaris with the Syrius-ROM and didnt look at this issue any longer. I never got over like pic 200 or so, so it never really was an issue to me. But good question, what about numbers higher than 255...?

I'll recheck the registry values and see what I find out. It could very well be that itll turn FF00, ff01, ff02 and so on...

Ok, found out how it works:
Bit 68 is the pic number in hex. Once it reaches 255 eg FF, bit 69 turns one up. So bit 68 is the running number while bit 69 is the index for bit 68. Example:
Pic 68 69
220 DC 00
221 DD 00
223 DE 00
...
254 FE 00
255 FF 00
256 00 01 <--!
257 01 01
258 02 01
...
510 FF 01 (510 = 255+255 = FF+FF)
511 00 02
...

You Genius!

So my reg value was:

00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
05 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
90 01 00 00 40 1F 00 00
02 10 00 5A 01 02 01 01
11 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 02 00 02 09 11 20 00
45 46 00 00 28 00 00 00
05 20 00 00 01 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 C0 27 09 00
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

And for the image value to be 415 to get the Hex values I did 415-225=190 which is BE in HEX so I did this:

00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
05 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
90 01 00 00 40 1F 00 00
02 10 00 5A 01 02 01 01
BE 01 00 00 01 00 00 00
01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 02 00 02 09 11 20 00
45 46 00 00 28 00 00 00
05 20 00 00 01 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 C0 27 09 00
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

!!! YAY !!!

EDIT: I set the vale to BD as when the valve was BE the picture came out as 416.

Thank you so much!!!

Damit, judging by the time of posts, it took me half an hour to find something that simple out ;) AAAARRRGH...!

Have fun guys :)
Hope it helps some others as well...!

I have very little knowledge of hex. I was hoping someone here could give me a hand with changing my counter to 92.
Here is my hex for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Camera\5.04\Prefere nces\Values] as i see it in phm regedit.

00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 05 00 00

03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 01 00 00

Advance THANKS ;)

With my Touch Pro2 I found out that byte 109 and 110 are the right ones for this solution.

thanks for this tip !
