So far, it's pretty solid. My camera flash doesn't work though. it does, however, work on camcorder.

[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Wait will that cmw mod file work if im using the stock microsd card? Which is rated as a class 4?
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
I have two questions:

1. Do you plan on making modifications to the photograph compression?

2. Does it still save in .3gp? do you have plans to change to .mp4?
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Thanks to all who help on this :o

When i solve the problems with the compiler, i will start working on the UI.

And in a few days more, and more testing, I will leave the beta and release the full functional camera camcorder.
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
If i use 1080p and superb quality, that's when it crashed. I lower to QHD and superb and It's fine.
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
Damn. Good catch. I just recorded a 34 second video and it only weighed 11MB. Also it didn't crash and the preview showed up almost instantly.

EDIT: Same results with it set to HD. This is good.
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
The "mod setting" is only directed to 1080p. If you are on the 1080p setting you will notice that when changing the mod setting the time you can record change. But if are on 720p (or any other video quality) and change the mod setting the time you can record stays the same.
[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
Is anyone having issue with really bad sound quality? Any sounds that are close to camera come out sounding crackly. I did a search on this thread, but didn't find anything.
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
From my experiences with the most recent beta I have not had crackling. How close are we talking? I may be able to test again.
[HTC Sensation] Refsav:
+1: D Already wrote about it.....
[HTC Sensation] ituan:
Camera flash

Any ideas as to why the camera doesn't flash even when its enabled? Its not that big of a deal but it would be nice to be able to take pictures in dark settings. Without flash, its impossible to do.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
I dont know why not work, doesnt work with the default one also...

Im finishing the bitrate selector so please, just test the beta if you can't wait.

Actually the Bitrate selector is only for 1080p and 720p, QHD and all other modes have lower bitrates.

QHD 15mbps

vga 8mbps
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Bitrate works for me. Only that it crashes ( no fq just quit ) at full.hd. but I think that's just my memory card
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
The problem of the crash is because ( i think ) i need to configure the media profiles correctly.

Its because media profiles override the apk, and that causes the apk crash.

After that, the mod will work perfect.

Need more testing, be patient.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Hmm well take your time :) its awesome already :3
[HTC Sensation] cheerio123:
Can you add an option to change the compression quality and add .raw format?
[HTC Sensation] 30000:
Hey is there a way we can have this mod but still retain the stock look for the camera?

Newest beta

[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
i flahsed this from CWM and nothing new !! just UI !!!
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Check the file sizes, you'll definitely notice that change which is due to increase quality.
[HTC Sensation] Refsav:
Do not kill for a silly question: What to put the new version " Camera Mod " - it is possible to put simply atop through Recovery? Also it is not necessary to delete anything?
[HTC Sensation] chrischiang:
does it work on dhd?
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
No problem.

im gonna make a flasheable via recovery, but only when the final version its stable.

Actually im having problems with the bitrate selector, isnt working properly.

There is a bitrate selector to select the quality on video, and the images, i think no need to change the compression.

And suports raw format but i dont know what i need to modify to enable that output feature.

Yea! but only works the camera, because the camcorder isnt optimized for the DHD. ( because DHD doesnt do 1080p and the dps isnt the same )
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
duplicated sorry
[HTC Sensation] :
Pushes modified pyramid htc camera apk, selected 1080p n outputs to format 3gpp, records aswell but havent checked out if 1080p records, guy names matt miller i think came out with the modified apk all credit to him, maybe both youz can try n get 1080p on dhd working??
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
Just Flashed the today's beta (25 august). Camcorder doesn't work
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
Well it is still in beta so I would suggest, if you can go without a bit rate selector, going back to the old 40mbps apk because that one works fine
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
when u will be finish from HDR and other ??

if u finished please make him with original UI
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Hdr abandoned and latest beta is original UI.

[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Any chance of adding an automatic panoramic option for the camera like i've used in another mod? Add that and i'm sold.
[HTC Sensation] Mercvtio:
It's already there !:)

In the beta repository you get these two files :

HTCCamera.apk : http://84.246.215.13/HTC_Sensation/MODS/Camera_Tweak/BETA_TEST_ONLY/HTCCamera.apk

media_profiles.xml : http://84.246.215.13/HTC_Sensation/MODS/Camera_Tweak/BETA_TEST_ONLY/media_profiles.xml

push them where they belong and you're set ! Panorama mode works just perfectly for me.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
HRD and BURST modes doesnt work properly.

So only panoramic photos. will be disponible.

Im bussy this week again, be patient, we are still testing the bitrate selector.
[HTC Sensation] polpo71:
For me the video is good. The pictures are defined, detailed, contrast and color are good but i see a lot of color noise. It's not for the jpg compression but the noise is in the uniform color. For example in hd2, same photo, is less definite but have minor color compression. Sorry for my bad english.
[HTC Sensation] fifedogg:
Why do you guys think the lgcamera app takes much better pictures than the stock htc camera app. Something to look into imo. It seems to use less compression and allow you to take higher resolution pictures as well.

I used the media_profiles.xml file and put it on my evo 3d and it seems to make the video better.

Sent From My EVO3D
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
first file should i put it in system/app

what i should do with second file ?
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
The xml goes in system/etc
[HTC Sensation] Mercvtio:
Don't forget to set permission for the two files. Use Root explorer, and check the whole left row, and the top middle square. Then reboot, and it should do the trick. Enjoy!
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
Owner: * * *

Group: * * *

Others: * * *

look out this and tell me what i should do..
[HTC Sensation] Mercvtio:
Well I usually set up this way :

X X 0
X 0 0
X 0 0

It should work.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
doesn't work !! :(
[HTC Sensation] Mercvtio:
Have you done a reboot after setting permissions? It's weird, I never had any problems...
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
I select all the boxes from Owner, Group, and Other and it works. Try that.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
1-Change Mount R/W to Mount R/O (root explorer)

2-download HTCCamera.apk & media_profile.xml

3-replace HTCCamera in system/app

4-replace replace media_profile.xml in etc/

5-Permissions:

Ownder: nothing nothing true

Group: nothing true true

Others: nothing true true

restart and nothing new
[HTC Sensation] Mercvtio:
Ok, I know where is your problem. My explanation wasn't clear enough... Sorry. You inverted every single permission. It should be :

Owner : true true nothing

Group : true nothing nothing

Others: true nothing nothing

Reboot. Hope it works!

Edit: here is what it should look like:
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
i tried that but nothing new :( thank u guys anyway

i think the problem from media_profile file because i can't download him..can from anyone give me direct link to dowload him
[HTC Sensation] Mercvtio:
Yeah, without the media_profile it can't work. You can get both files here:

http://84.246.215.13/HTC_Sensation/MODS/Camera_Tweak/BETA_TEST_ONLY/

Be sure to check that they both have the same date.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Is it possible to use this on a non-root stock ROM?

And do you have any audio settings? In particular, I'd like to be able to increase the sample-rate and bit-rate of the audio, plus lower the gain on the mic... hopefully that will solve the problem of clipping of loud sounds.
[HTC Sensation] abrasive:
If you don't have root you can't use anything in this thread.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
I'm still testing the bitrate selector, this damn thing, doesnt want to work!!

Please wait :(
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Take your time! It's worth the wait :)
[HTC Sensation] Refsav:
Unfortunately the-same problem! I wish to hope, that in following release the author at once will insert a possibility of a panorama!
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
The latest beta version has panorama capabilities and from what I can tell, it does it darn good. Most I've tried look hideous cause of the stitches but this one comes out beautifully.

To download the XML file, right click it and then Save As. Don't just click it cause it wont save the file.

If you're on your phone, then just long press and hold, and then aging, Save As.

|ErosizeD|

can u force in your mod, camera to take pic with flash below 30% battery?

edit: i found the smali

FlashRestriction.smali

const-string v0, "battery capacity lower, must disable flashlight"
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
yea, i'm gonna enable it, normally i dont touch things like this.

Okay, added right now.

Still testing the bitrate selector , because isnt working properly :(

And why say, the panorama isnt working? actually is enabled.
[HTC Sensation] Refsav:
And it is possible to find a file for installation through flasheable? : (
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Is it really that hard to copy and paste? Lol. Anyways isn't there a flashable zip?

Sent from the Vietnam war
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
i'm gonna say again, beta version are only for test, just for people who cant wait to test the final release with that new features, but however...

There aren't a flasheable for beta the flasheable only for final the release.

Excuse if is hard to do for you, and some people, but its better to keep you safe, because if something doesnt work you will se in trouble.

Anyway, if u want i can make a flasheable, but i repeat again, is a beta test, and there are things, not working at 100%!! Like the bitrate selector. ( actually the onli thing isnt working properly )
[HTC Sensation] Refsav:
Yes is not present not difficultly! But it is impossible. All put under the instruction, permits and another! But the panorama-so has not appeared. Therefore also I ask! Thanks!: Замешательстве:

P.S. All thanks big! I shall wait for release!
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
If you follow the instructions Panorama is present. I don't see what is so hard about the copy or paste.
[HTC Sensation] K2000:
A small test.

http://www.fileden.com/files/2011/8/31/3189841//VIDEO0024_001.3gp

The 40Mbps is way, way, way better than the crappy stock 10Mbps.
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Does this have manual focus? Its the only thing lacking from every cam app i've ever tried on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] K2000:
What do you mean with manual focus? I've never seen a phone with manual focus.

However, you can tap anywhere to focus but that's still autofocus...
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
i see that media_profiles.xml was updated today....Which HTCcamera.apk should we use with it? and what are the beta changed for today?:D:D
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Manual focus means, well manual focus, you have either a slider or a dial to focus on objects, rather than relying on a camera to tell you what focused is, go less than three inches to something and attempt to focus and you will find definition and then the camera keeps focusing past it and ends up being blurry, it's a load of crap, all of the camera apps do the same thing.

There must be a camera app out there which enables manual focus? Or am i pissing in the wind. :)

PS: Macro only works up to a point, like i said anything less than around 3 inches and you can't get focus to stick.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
I updated the XML because there is something wrong, and for that reason doesnt work the bitrate selector on the apk.

Im still testing.
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
So should I use the newest htccamera.apk you have under /beta? or should I just wait? I have the latest two files from the beta folder currently on my phone n LOVE THEM! SOO much better than stock WAY TO GO MAN!!!
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
15 minutes to download?

Next time you should upload to mediafire, they have better speeds.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
You can use the most newest APK, for now im testing with the media profiles.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Boy, what do you expect :). This is a damned phone, not a Nikon D3X. I find it pretty astonishing what can be done with that crappy optics. Even mid-prized DSLR can't make decent macros. I think you ask too much from an add-on to a telephone. :D
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Actually this phone can handle 60mbps encoding bitrate, pretty impressive for a phone.

And that sensor with a good optics can look the same or better than actual "bridge" photocameras.

The sensor of N8 Actually is better than most bridge cameras, and low end reflex, i dont imagine N8 with a good optics... :)
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Make the 60mbps, then hardmod a zeiss into this phone :3

Sent from the Vietnam war
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Will you ever do a mod with the 60mbps?
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
First problems with the 60mbps is the write speed, you will need an Super MicroSD Class 10.

After that, you can still getting low fps sometimes.

And, there are no diference on quality, because the sensor cant handle more details.

Just that, that is the major reason why i keep the 40mbps as maximum, because if you go above there are no diference in quality.

And one of the majors cons, the size of the videos, actually at 40mbps the videos are huge!!
[HTC Sensation] Refsav:
YES! : D The panorama has earned! More precisely it and earlier worked, but I not there activated it. Looked for in "Scripts", and it appears it is necessary to look for in "Effects"! All many thanks for the help. I am very glad!!!!
[HTC Sensation] WhiteSites:
Translation for people who don't understand the whole 40mbps

60mbps = 7.50 MB/sec or 450 MB/min

40mbps = 5.00 MB/sec or 300 MB/min

20mbps = 2.50 MB/sec or 150 MB/min

10mbps = 1.25 MB/sec or 75 MB/min( stock )

At 60mbps you would fill an entire 32 GB class 10 card ( assuming you didn't have any other data on it ) with 71 minutes of video
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Thanks mate, i think this helps so much :D
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
I've got an idea, is it possible to remap the search button to take a photo?
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
wich one is the correct media_profiles.xml for OLD_BETA40mbps_HTCCamera.apk (the only one 40mbps working however)? I mean the 40mbps profile... couse i cannot find it....i have tried many profiles but it seem that now all my videos are at maximum at 20mbps. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Newest beta is 40mbps..
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
It works??
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
wich one however is the newest apk file? (path).

and the associated profile with the old 40mbps beta?

EDIT: just tried the latest beta with latest profile and it doesn't work at 40mbps .. only at "low" bitrate... still asking for old beta apk and profile...
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Does it force close or something?
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
Not on the "low" setting which is I think 20mbps. Any setting above that it just exits the app when you press record.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
I can go till high. But not superb.
[HTC Sensation] Madcypher:
Read through all 400 + pages, question

Hello all,

I love the progress and development of this thread and all the work involved. My question is: Can I just update the XML profile to increase the bitrate on a stock TMo Sensation without the camera APK?

Thanks

Cyph
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
I don't think so :/ but don't worry, latest beta has the stock UI. It only added panorama mode under effects and a Bitrate selector
[HTC Sensation] Madcypher:
Ok, Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
What class is your sdcard?

Hello cameramod between what will come out with v2 zip recovery
[HTC Sensation] carlotta71:
cameramod

I am using the beta 40Mbps fantastic video
[HTC Sensation] dipje:
Hello, I'm on a 1.45 rooted stock rom, so a rom which is still odexed.

In /system/app/ I have an HTCCamera.apk and an HTCCamera.odex.

If I replace the .apk with the latest from the beta-repo, and also the media_profiles.xml, nothing changes. So I delete the HTCCamera.odex file too, but now I have no camera at all.

I thought missed odex information from an apk was automaticly generated at boot and placed in the dalvik-cache?

I'm using LGCamera now to record FullHD at 20mbps, but it seems the FPS is lower than with HTCCamera.

Can somebody explain me what to do to get this mod working on the latest 1.45 stock rom (Rooted that is)?
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
If you're rooted and s-off, then download the apk and XML. Clyde either root explorer or es file eexplorer(you'll have to check root explorer in the settings) then copy and past each one in the respective folder. Afterward, check permissions and just check all the boxes (i slways do) and once you did that, just reboot.
[HTC Sensation] dipje:
Thanks, but as I said I tried that and then nothing changes in the camera app (no skin, no settings, nothing). If I delete the HTCCamera.odex file that's there from the stock rom (and reboot after) then I have _no_ camera app at all.

Maybe I just need to clear my entire dalvik cache I'm wondering....
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
I found this new app that records the screen on your phone so I made a "How To" video, no audio though(let me know if I did it correctly also). There is a walk through in the description letting you know what I am doing:D.

[YOUTUBE]pX390opHd04[/YOUTUBE]

Maybe ErosizeD would want this in the OP.

If it was helpful please press the thanks button.
[HTC Sensation] dipje:
Very nice, but it doesn't address the issue what to do with HTCCamera.odex, which you don't have in this video. I know how to copy files and chmod the permissions, that's not the problem :).

Can somebody confirm this even works on a stock rooted (non-deodexed) 1.45 rom?

Also the flashable CWM .zip from InsertCoin (panoramo + bitrate mod) causes FCs after flashing
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
That should be in the OP. Anyone who doesn't understand it shouldn't be modding their device.
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
So are you hell bent on being on stock rom? I thought stock was enough for me, but tried flashing android revolution, and its exactly the same thing as stock, except a lot faster.
[HTC Sensation] gauravdhure994:
how to remove this MOD...!?????
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
just reflash whatever rom you're running. or if you were smart, you made a nandroid before flashing this ;)
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
Oh okay sorry that couldn't help, but I was digging around and I could not find the .odex file (I'm on ARHD 3.0.3) in /system/app/ so there may be a possibility this mod will not work on a rooted stock rom.
[HTC Sensation] IcOpRo:
Quick question what are the first link on the OP? I was going to DL the qHD one but I saw that the file was like 300+mbs.
[HTC Sensation] Tomekks:
This camera mod is awesome!

Can't wait for further updates.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
I believe that is the 20mbps mod. The file is just showing the quality of the video since YouTube compresses the video when you upload it so you're not see the actual results of the mod. I think its about 2 minutes long for each file.
[HTC Sensation] gauravdhure994:
is there any option rather than flashing....?
[HTC Sensation] K2000:
Another example:

Try checking to see if someone can upload the original apk and XML file.
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Is the link for the beta files down for anyone else? I get the feeling it got to hard for him and he stopped development all together cause we haven't heard anything new.
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
I've been having problems with the link since yesterday. Yeah he has not posted here in a couple of days but there has been other devs who successfully modded the stock camera app so he has a lot of help if he needed it.

Edit: he's still around.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:

Im still working on the damn bitrate... :(
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
No problem, thanks for adding it to the OP. But it seems that your link to your beta apps is down. Also have you talked to some of the devs in this forum to try to figure out the bitrate problem?
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Excuse, just i delayed to pay my ISP and **** off my VPS.... :(

in 1-3 Days the link will work again.

I need some help from developers, but never answer my PM...sometimes..

Also if you patiently wait, the site (with all the beta apps) will be active soon
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
A lot of java programing, but im quite noob actually...

I only can edit easy things, and maybe add few lines of code.

But how i say, the bitrate i dont know how to work at all, because the mod isnt mine, is from seo, and i dont have answer from he, so i need to test the mod to get it working.

because there are 3 factors.

1- The apk

2- The bitrate mod.

3- The media profiles.

And if i dont set the correct values doesnt seems to work...
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
