[HTC Sensation] HannoSLM:
thank you for the great camera. However, please find some issues:

1. Picture quality is quite low - 600-900 kb photos compared to almost 3 MB with Sense 3.0 and modded camera

2. No bitrate select for 720 p

3. Panorama does not have any options - set maximum number of photos etc

4. HDR quality is surprisingly low - just slightly different compared to normal mode

5. Movie quality is fine, but seems lower than 3.0 camera with same bitrate

anyway compliments for achieving so many features for our stupid cameras :)

thank you very much
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
does anyone have the stock camera for Sense 3.5 so we can revert back without using nandroid if we want?
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Its not just the apk just flash your rom back over the top should sort it out
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
That's what I told you ages ago..... You must have overlooked my post.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
didnt think of that, thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

also can i ask a question, im finding for close up shots the camera focuses really well, but seems to just miss the focal point for things close to the lense, like an inch away, u have to hold it a good distance then zoom, is this the same for others? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
You tried Macro?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
yeah its the same on auto or on macro, it focuses perfect for a second, then settles just out of focus, does it not do that for u?
[HTC Sensation] mr[nik]:
Thanks for the flame......
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
You are most welcome. Would you like some more?

Just admit you were being stupid and ignorant and let's get on with it.

Now THAT is the flame.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
There is minimum focus distance. I don't know exact value, so just experiment. 1 inch is definitely too close, even though judging by focusing process, camera is capable of focusing at much shorter distance than it does now.
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Since this only works for 2.3.5/sense 3.5:

All the 2.3.5 Roms out here are based on a leaked, unfinished HTC 2.3.5 RUU, right?

I have an aversion against using "unfinished" and leaked stuff, so I'd rather ask before flashing...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Not sure about 2.3.5 but sense 3.5 is definitely test leak. I'm talking about sensation RUU, not ports.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
ok thanks, yeah i think its a software glitch that it cant focus close, like you say you can see it focus and miss it, hopefully they will correct this at some point..
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
Sorry for that. I didn't have see your post.

It was nice to put this information at first post...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
No worries mate :)

CtD, it actually might be worth putting this info in the OP.
[HTC Sensation] rizocreations:
is there a way to get this working on non-sense roms?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I dont think so, from what i understand the camera mod is a part of sense, so this mod just mods part of the sense build.

someone correct me if im wrong..
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi,

I don't understand why this mod does'nt work for me:confused:

Running on RcMix3d v07 (Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.5),with stock kernel or bricked kernel by Showp-1984,no other changes:always blackscreen :(.

I take a picture after if i want to resume: black screen, the phone stops responding and I have to remove the battery.I can't take another picture or exit to the camera,go to the gallery,etc...

This happens every time,in all the different options/modes/parameters chosen...

I missed something?:confused:

I think I need help :cool:

PS:i tried the BR camera mod by ErosizeD...same problem :eek::confused:
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Sounds like kernel, reflash stock, then reboot, allow to load n then flash camera mod. I had the same issue when I flashed in the wrong order...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Don't forget that RCMix is a mixture of bliss and normal sense3.5

That could be the reason.
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi,

Thanks for the reply,i will try in this order, before that I will reflash the rom that is passed RcMix v08 and see if the problem persists (perhaps anything wrong...but no much issues with camera app with this rom), if so I will follow your advice :cool:

But I think the kernel is original with this rom, i'll still read topics rom/kernel and see what I could do wrong,this problem is driving me crazy and I try to look everywhere to find a solution by myself ... I will read again and retest...

Thank you very much for the help,report testing.
[HTC Sensation] Rimidal:
Great Mod. Works fine on latest Energy ROM.

Is there any option to change the number of shots in panorama?

Sometimes three is not enough for me. Maybe there is any other MOD with this option?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I don't think so, not that I've seen
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi,

Thanks for the reply,something else to do so, but apparently no other camera issues with this rom,ok "it's a mix" ( :D ),but with the camera mod with this rom (by ErosizeD)->black screen->flashing Amaze camera (with wipe cache/dalvik cache before)->always blackscreen...so perhaps something wrong with the kernel,or my flashing order,or....somethingelse :confused:

But no issues with camera mod in the thread of this rom...

BTW thank you,i'll test...

I can't post my problem in each threads in report whith that (kernel/rom/mod,etc...)...hard :eek:
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
I installed this on RcMix3d v07 & 08 it worked both times. 1st time i installed immediately after rom before booting, 2nd time after booting & setting up the rom no wiping no nothing and it worked, go figure
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Have you tried different rom? After ziggys report, it looks like user error to me. :-)

Jpeg compression

Hi,

Fix to set JPEG compression to 0% (100% quality)

HTCCamera.apk, file CameraThread.smali:

just change 0x55 to 0x64

great camera app but to bad i cant use it on sense 3.0.. not a fan of sense 3.5..

here is a Panoramic shot..
[HTC Sensation] igor.bezkrovny:
It was about 750kb before and 1,1mb after this fix being applied for me.

Checked my old photos taken with desirehd - 700k-1,0mb (8mp, 85%).
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Hmmm. Obviously difference is not going to be massive, but noise due to low light and high iso kills comparison. Any chance of making a couple of pics in daylight? Like picture of building with grass in front and sky visible?

I would have done it myself, but going to be busy next few days. :)

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Size depends a lot on colours, lgiht etc, so unless you take picture of the same thing with the same lighting conditions (like ziggys), you shouldn't compare sizes.

Provereno opytom :)
[HTC Sensation] igor.bezkrovny:
Size depends on a different parameters. But I mean differense between sizes before and after fix applied when shooting with the same light, camera settings, hand shaking:)...

Just compare)

100% JpegQuality (1,767,646 bytes)

85% JpegQuality (676,851 bytes)

:D;)
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
To see huge difference between pictures we need to test with low light conditions.

A good test is to take a pictures to clothes, at some distance, with room light and no flash.

Observe the details of the clothes and you'll see the differences.

Can anyone post some pictures?
[HTC Sensation] chrisblanks:
How did you get the cam app to work......@epsix

I have Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 by mike1986 Android version 2.3.4 installed on my sensation. I have tried to install the camera mod on my phone but that app keeps freezing up. Please let me know the steps you use to get it working on your sensation. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
DUDE!!! You just answered the question for your self:

THIS IS FOR 2.3.5 AND SENSE 3.5 ONLY

Please read the post before installing stuff
[HTC Sensation] s10shane:
thank you CdTDroiD & Baadnewz for making this awesome camera mod. much better then the stock one and more features = a win win in my book lol. every mode works perfect on InsertCoin 3.3.1 SENSE 3.5
[HTC Sensation] Rimidal:
Got a bug:

If the last picture saved is panoramic I can't access it directly from camera screen. I have to go to gallery or to take normal photo after the panoramic one.

Not very annoying though.
[HTC Sensation] kurichichan:
you said tested on pyramid3d? is p3d sense 3.0?

still i can flash this just use stock kernel?
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
I assume your purpose is to give CdTDroiD high blood pressure?
[HTC Sensation] kurichichan:
i know it bro, just confuse me that he is refering to p3d 3.0, and also i was assuming that he is one of the creator that maybe he did manage to somhow make it available on p3d.

Added Amaze Camera v4

Added QuickLaunch Widget resized - Thanks Baadnewz

CRT Animation stays

Nobody can help?

(Swyped from my Sense-o-Maniac - Sense 3.5 loaded HTC Sensation)
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Agree!! What in the blue hell is new in v4? Is it bundled with the amaze gallery? If its the same one from insert coin there is a missing button when you click on a picture and goto edit mode in gallery. no biggie..i still prefer it over the stock sense 3.5 gallery
[HTC Sensation] thepza:
Work with Android Revolution HD 4.x Sense 3.5?

Does this still only work with the stock kernel?

If so, to get it to work with Android Revolution HD 4.x with Sense 3.5, I'd need to flash the stock kernel, rather than the improved ADHD one that's already in the ROM?
[HTC Sensation] kooljainatul:
will the updated v4 of amaze be available?
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Is v.3 already installed in [ROM] HTC Sensation 2.08.401.1 | Stock | Rooted | 10/10/2011 ?

[HTC Sensation] wrek:
Download link is broken.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
It worked for me :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Sh0X31:
but i want to ask which the best setting for the video recording (1080p video bitrate) . I have a Class 10 mirco sd-card, but which setting i should choose

1080p video bitrate

which for class 10?????????????????

PS: Download for v4
[HTC Sensation] abrasive:
Higher is better. And since you've got a class 10 you can use 20 without any problems.
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Who did this v4? where does it come from?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
It's also by CdTDroid and baadnewz (AFAIK). It's included in CdTDroid's Sense 3.5 rom and also in the latest IC rom which is why baadnewz has the mod with his addons. I guess they haven't released it as a separate flashable mod as yet so as to retain some exclusivity for their own roms
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Hey guys nah not like that lol we just lazy and busy lol ;) ill update the OP when I get home.

Oh and Baadnewz made that v4 update..
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
No worries m8. Good luck for Sunday against the French and at least you don't have Bryce Lawrence to contend with :D
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Hi guys, thanks for this mod. can I change by myself jpeg compression?

I tried it it seems to work. there is an icon missing when you click on a picture (second icon from left - the one to crop...).

Anyhow I'm going to take a look at your rom.
[HTC Sensation] mzhmiah:
Will there ever be a way to make it work on faux kernel?
[HTC Sensation] gokberks:
will this mod work on cm7 or aosp based roms?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Most of the features will work with the faux kernel, only the burst feature and perhaps 1 other IIRC will not work as the kernel needs the zero shutter lag drivers. Both faux and show are working on getting it to work fully, but as HTC hasn't released the code for the drivers/kernels they are having a tough time.
[HTC Sensation] vascocn81pa:
Hi. How can I change jpeg compressione by myself? Please can you explain me? :)

Yeah same :( the pictures I took are around ~700kb
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Gloops! on the amaze camera repacked from the rom I installed 1 picture is about 1 - 1.2 Mbs. I would like as on Revolution 3.6.1 about 2.5 - 3 Mbs.

Edit : On sunny day it goes to ~ 1.5 Mbs
[HTC Sensation] vascocn81pa:
Me too.

Virtuous + BR -> photo size about 4MB

Anyway great work! Really like this Camera App! :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
I Just went back to v3. Didn't even know about v4 and v5 was awful. The gallery sucks. Just my opinion and NOT complaints. Great mod tho!!:cool:
[HTC Sensation] br.avinash:
Please make it work with the CM 7, please!
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
you get all my thanks for today..:)

btw... just curious... can't this app harm our camera?... I m along coz everytime I run this app, it produces ticking sounds... that looks like camera is doing sombre struggle...

hope its not over killing camera...
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
It's just focusing, that's why it makes the noise. Don't worry about it :-)
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
guess i'll have to make v6 :))
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
actually those ticking sounds are different than what I experience on Stock cam...

I just think that HTC Amaze camera has more space for zoom compared to sensation and maybe its trying to focus with more movements but it's not able to...

hope you got what I mean...:)
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
v6 uploaded. jpeg quality is 99 now. 100 was too much :)

pic taken in dark is 1.1 mB now
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Can somebody tell me if it's the old gallery style or new (4 or 3 columns of thumbnails, with sense 3.5 animation (when you go back to folder from thumbnails )

cause I don't want to go back to sense 3.0 gallery. thanks
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
dude, can you please check the damn addons folder posted in big red letters in op ?

http://www.mediafire.com/file/yb3gqckemb7b6g8/Revert_to_stock_Gallery.zip

this is stock 3.5 gallery !

you flash cameramod v6 then flash the revert to stock gallery

le: sorry there is nothing in op coz this is the camera mod thread

i apologize. !

but still applies

flash camera mod then flash the zip to return to 3.5 gallery
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Thanks a lot. Was a little surprised of your first answer, and as I'm not anglophone, I didn't understand what was op.

Going to flash immediately. don't worry for the confusion.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
i was an idiot, i was under the impression i was on my rom's thread :)

i should post to 2nd post here the link to revert :D
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
I see a lot of people asking without reading. When I worked over ARHD rom I read the 2'xxx and more than 500 now pages. I also read this thread, and as I'm a fan of photography, I really enjoy this amaze camera. You're far from been an idiot, as you must read a lot of useless questions.

I'm glad you you share your work with all of us. :p
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
Lol that was fast! Like a one hour photo. Awesome work as always, this is the first mod I flash after a ROM, thanks!

btw the OP header still says it's on v.5
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
yah cdtdroid is sleeping :) he will edit it when he wakes up
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
The mod still having compression on photos, i can clearly see it.

You are sure is properly modified?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
I agree ... pics are getting worse ... even camera is finding hard to focus on my end... sharpness lost... reverting to stock one... will wait for a proper version...
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
i set the jpeg quality from 85 to 99, and reflects in the size of the photo 1.1 mb vs 600 kB. more than that i don't really know

but i really suggest a DSLR for awesome pics not a phone
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
I just did a diagnostic to the photo and i can clearly see more than 10% compression...

Quality factor about 90% and about 16% ratio.

So there something wrong for sure, you modified the apk also? ( im trying to help )
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
the apk is the only thing i modified.

funny thing is that since the new 3.5 libs with new zsl if i set in media profiles anything higher than 90 like

<ImageEncoding quality="99" />

<ImageEncoding quality="80" />

<ImageEncoding quality="70" />

<ImageDecoding memCap="20000000" />

phone freezes after you take a pic (in preview mode)

on pre 3.5 roms was fine. on sensation and desire too .. so is something i really don't understand

in htccamera.apk/ CameraThread.smali:

i changed

const/16 v0, 0x55 (which is 85 in base 10 )

iput v0, p0, Lcom/android/camera/CameraThread;->mJPEGQuality:I

to

const/16 v0, 0x63 (which is 99 in base 10)

if i go above 90 in media-profiles well freezes. i dont know if its because 2.08 is a test ruu and has hidden bugs, or because of the new ZSL, i really don't know how to look inside the libs or the kernel bin !

any help .. is appreciated
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Its due kernel, but work on some, my mod 0% compression and working, but seems to work just on few roms.

I also edited this thing not only jpegquality.

ImageManager.smali

That 0x4b (85) must be replaced with 0x64 (100)

ANd need to be modified on some more, but now i dont remember.

( one of those are for tumbs, and the rest for image modes. )

Also put media profiles to 100% or 99% if you get any freeze, i know that issue, but seems to be only on some kernel/roms, because is working if you shoot 5MP photo.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
well i test on my rom, which has 3.5 stock camera libs and stock 3.5 kernel ill digg more see what i find
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
0% compression = ****ing clear and awesome photos.

This photo is thaked withouth sharpness maybe bit blurred due dirty lens.

So The photos should look like this

Heheheh yeah...I was like DA F**K!!?? No biggie...:D (V6)
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
http://www.mediafire.com/?313xsc3prnf1gs3

v7, hope i got it working the jpeg quality thing now
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Good, im gonna check it later, due now im under CyanogenMOD modding the camera.

If you cant see a small boxes on the picture you take, that means the comperssion is finally OFF, if still there, later i tell you where are the rest of files to modify, actually im not on my PC, going to work.

Cya
[HTC Sensation] rawdawgroy:
love the fact that all features work but hate the fact that i have to downgrade to stock kernel... great cam or great speed and battery....??? can we get this working with faux 2.2 or at least make kernel better that way we can have best of both worlds...
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
the custom kernel problem si DUE TO CUSTOM KERNEL. i don't have to do anything to make it work with a custom kernel, the custom kernel developer needs to make his kernel work with the sense 3.5 cam or this. And that ain't easy because HTc didn't bothered to release sources for the new ZSL

so instead of crying in this thread "make ur damn mod work with X kernel" or crying in kernel thread "fix you damn kernel already" i suggest you go lobby @ htc to release the sources! or have some patience.

This is my last post regarding the camera (this or stock 3.5) / custom kernel issue. Problem is widely known, but kernel devs need to write the new zsl or get the sources from somewhere because again HTC DIDN'T PUBLISH THEM.

from now on i will report all the posts regarding this matter. because it denotes clearly the poster didn't had the decency to read before posting.
