Not much to describe :) No more bad photos on our HD2 :)

Disclaimer:
I do it just for fun when I have some free time and some mood :) So don't expect too much.
This app is free (and will allways be free) and for now it will not be available through Marketplace - just because it is not really easy to put it there.

Version 0.6.3 - Mango compatible, Download: View attachment SHCameraApp063.zip
- same as 0.6.2
- full Mango support

Version 0.6.2 - Mango beta1 compatible, Download: View attachment SHCameraApp062.zip
- preview for recorded video doesn't work (I cannot create one of the classes - looks like Mango issues)
- some UI lagging - again Mango issues
- maybe some other bugs
- image may freeze - simply tap the screen

Version 0.6.1 - Nodo, Download: View attachment SHCameraApp061.zip
- app now use native code - this means no way to put it to Marketplace, also app will work only on HTC devices
- preview for recorded video
- normal names for videos
- improved speed of save operation
- fixed problems with pictures rotation (still small issues remain)
- fixed autosave for videos

Known problems:
photo taken in portrait mode will require more time to save comparing with landscape photo.

What's next:
- will try to disable shutter sound (for now - there will be only registry key - look registry tweaks thread)
- propose your features :)

About custom photo/video resolution:
There is no way to have 16:9 photos or video recording in 1080p - application already using all supported resolutions.
And there is no way to add something else - unless someone will modify camera driver.

About Green/Yellow color in photos:
This is a camera driver bug - nothing I can do.

Donate me:
- your "thank you" and your feedback is a donation ;)

Thanks for working on this. Looking forward to future updates (maybe tap to focus, use of hardware button to take shot?) Video will be nice as well. I agree that you should set up a donation. Thanks!

    Ther's a regisrty hack that enable on-screan shutter button. Just hold the button, till camera lock focus, then relase.
    Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Camera\Settings\, create a key named SoftShutterButton and give it a value of 1. The phone does not need to be restarted.

    I am not getting high resolution pictures, instead of 5MP it produces only 1296 x 972.
    fixed - 0.5.1 attached to the 1st post.

    Edit: Not working in bttf ROM after install sp1 cab, pictures aren't saved..

    I will check it - still cannot promise anything... Some of the other apps are not working as well (TouchXplorer) so this might be difficult to fix.
