[Oct 24][FIX] HTCCamera APK for 5 Mega Pixel

[iamgpc]

First!!
I have fix the HTCCamera.apk by smali for HD2 Sense build 5 Mega Pixel.
I think it is a workaround solution for this issue. The root cause may the libcamera.so is not match with Sense build. HTC has do some tricks in the libcamera.so. No matter what this fixed apk may work on HD2 HTC Sense build.

Using the fix for testing and take you own risk!!

Only working for Desire Sense and EVO Sense!!
NOT WORKING FOR DesireHD and DesireZ base ROM!!

What is my fix for it
1.The popup how after taking a picture will force to disable. It won't show any more. You don't have to change the Review Duration Setting again.
Removed, You can change the review in the Setting by yourself.
(Only working for HD2-Desire-base Sense, if you are using EVO-Sense, you can ignore this fix)

2.The resolution has fixed and modified.
The original HTCCamera will give you a FAKE Mega Pixel(3MP) image result no matter what resolution you select.
After i fix the HTCCamera.apk, you can change different resolution as you like.
a. 5M(2592x1552) -> 2592*1944 (Real 5 Mega Pixel)
b. 3M(2048x1216) -> 2048*1536 (Real 3 Mega Pixel)
c. 1M(1280x768) -> 1600*1200 (Real 2 Mega Pixel)
d. Small(640*384) -> 1024*768 (Real 1 Mega Pixel)


How to install it?
The APK CAN NOT INSTALL into your HD2 Android.
You have two way to install this fix.

Make sure your /system is R/W not R/O.

1. Putting the HTCCamera.apk into your HD2 SD Card using File Explorer with root access, copy he fixed HTCCamera.apk to /system/app and overwrite the original one, if you can find HTCCamera.odex in the /system/app, please delete it.

I suggest you can use a Free root File Explorer called "Super Manager". The software you can search it on Market by "Super Manager" or "gpc". It is my design. It can help you move the fixed APK file into /system/app.

2. Using shell command

adb push HTCCamera.apk /system/app
adb shell rm /system/app/HTCCamera.odex

How to use it?
First, you have using the last EVO-bases kernel and the attachment APK file.
After installing it, you just have to launch the Camera.
If you are lucky, you can enjoy the new real 5 Mega pixel camera right now.
You don't have to reset you HD2-Android.

Enjoy it!!


If the fix is helpful, you can donate to me. thanks

were you able to turn off the shutter sound?

Im running mdeejays revolution 1. 7 with harastin 7. 6 and i also have 5 mp and no popup. i got it when i updated the kernel from 7.5 to 7.6. So i guess another solution is just updating your kernel to the latest one..

does it work on desire hd or desire z roms?

 

[iamgpc]

Because of we don't have the match camera library for HTC sense, the Setting in the Camera is not working.

If you want to disable shutter sound, you can rename or delete the /system/media/ui/camera_click.ogg

1.EVO Sense has no popup.
2.Is the 5MP real 5 Mega pixel? Do you check the image file with anther image viewer software?
