Mike I would agree with you. Shooting way left should be reserved for RAW. That having been said my intent was to illustrate the differences between the cameras. I think this test does show a significant difference in how each of the cameras handles the same scene. This gets back to my other point, one of the most valuable settings on any camera is the ability to adjust the metering. It would appear that the metering adjustments in the modded stock cameras don't do much as the histos with spot, center and average all look the same (no they are not in the chart, on the cameras with the adjustments I set them to average as I assume in the Amaze port this would be the default).

That having been said the stock camera clips highlights.

I dont think the third is so bad, the stock clips highlights and whatever compression is being applied there is a loss of detail in both stock camera applications, it's not a contrast or sharpening difference. Look at the crops closely (or take some comparison photos yourself) there is less detail in the stock cameras images.

All in all my main point was that control over meetering is very important and I think we would all agree to agree on that point, no?
[HTC EVO 3D] cornell:
Anybody know the best settings for the image adjustments like Sharpness contrast etc
[HTC EVO 3D] Castellano2:
In 0.11 H264 is not automatically
[HTC EVO 3D] divedr:
That all depends on your personal preference. There really are no best settings in this regard. Experiment and see what works best for you. Have fun with it!

Version 11 is a bit dodgy for me too, I reverted to ver 0.8 which has been very stable for me. Overall very nice work! Thanks again Igor!

here's a guide, but it is for the stock Evo 3D camera.

I'm excited about this camera and just installed it on my CDMA Evo 3d. Is there any way we can rename this to just 'Camera'. Having a shortcut to 'Amaze Camera' on my lockscreen looks dumb :)

Thx bro! Really cool camera!
[HTC EVO 3D] igor.bezkrovny:
In 0.11 H264 is automaticaly set when recording 3D video. It just doesn't change menu setting you see. But if you open recorded video with any player on PC, you can check that codec is H264.

1. I see that codec MPEG4 is not needed, so I think I will remove codec choosing from menu and codec will always be H264 (as it was prior v.0.09). Does anyone have argumentatively explanation why codec MPEG4 can be better than H264?

(MPEG4 codec has some problems like limited bitrate choices or FC in 3D video recording)

2. Does anyone need to choose bitrate while recording video with resolutions lower than 540p? (argumentatively)

3. For flashable zip the name of the app will be changed to "Camera" in the next version (0.12). Apk app name will stay "Amaze Camera".
[HTC EVO 3D] Albert Poon:
Just flashed 2048 zip and they are still Amaze Camera/Camcorder/Mirror
[HTC EVO 3D] igor.bezkrovny:
Will be in the next version (0.12). Not now.

[HTC EVO 3D] Web0S4Never:
I have MIUI as well and wish, wish, wish I could try this camera. Well, I did try (with FC, of course) :) Probably requires a Sense ROM?

Anyway... hoping I can get this at some point! I hate the current camera app. Takes crappy pics. I've never had a camera phone that takes as poor quality pictures as the EVO 3D and that includes a lot of phones since I'm a junkie!

Mike what version are you on? This does not happen in version 0.8 through 0.11 on my 3D, I tried it twice. What ROM are you running?
[HTC EVO 3D] usnret04:
Thank you igor for porting this app. I just never felt that the stock evo 3d camera app was as good as it could be. So far, I really like the Amaze app.

Is there a way to make the Amaze app the default app? As when I press the dedicated camera app button it still opens the stock app.
[HTC EVO 3D] notfuzzi:
When I go to the Gallery app and then choose effects to effect a picture... it force closes. Maybe it tries to call something in the camera app?

About sweepshot on cdma phones:

It seems we need someone with cdma phone and smali knowledge.

I can try again to find the reason of FC, but in previous logs I didn't find anything:(

Steps, needed to record logs from your side:

Reboot phone (with fast boot switched off), and record logs with application "Catlog". PM me logs.

I need full log from the moment you start camera till the moment of FC (inclusive).

If there is no FC, but camera just stucks, please touch the screen at least 10-15 times to help me find the place where is stuck happened in logs.

Please record logs with Catlog, not with any other app and not via adb.

go to app Catlog->press menu-> press Record

start camera

take sweepshot that leads to FC

after FC go to app Catlog->press menu-> press Stop recording...

logs are saved to /sdcard/cat_log_saved_logs folder

Thx.

whats the difference between the apk and flashable zip except the install method?
[HTC EVO 3D] ancola66:
The difference is: The *. apk file you can install and remove if not interested, when you remove the applications installed >>> your device to work with old applications of it . With *. zip file, when you flash it will overwrite the old application in system >>> You can not remove it.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:

If flash is switched to auto or on in anyone then go to night mode, the flash is still on or auto. If you notice the flash settings in night mode, it displays the flash off and is gray so you can't change it.

Android thinks that APP "HTCCamera.apk" don't have CHANGE_BACKGROUND_DATA_SETTING permission. But it has (in manifest). Try to reboot to recovery and select "fix permissions". Alternatively you can try to fix permissions from ROM MANAGER or any other app
[HTC EVO 3D] igor.bezkrovny:
Yes. Evo 3D currently don't support special camera mode when camera itself takes 3 or more shots. I don't know how to activate (if it is possible) this mode in camera hw, or where I can take libcamera/libcameraservice/... which support this mode and will be COMPATIBLE with all other ROM stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] igor.bezkrovny:
About SmartShot & BurstShot - it seems we need updated kernel with ZERO SHUTTER LAG driver included. So, if HTC doesn't give even kernel src for us we have only choice to wait for new STOCK kernel with ZSL driver.

Also libraries for camera were changed by HTC. waiting for new kernel...

[HTC EVO 3D] divedr:
Camera, camera?

So why am I writing this post? Well the low and high of my experience with Igor's port of the Amaze camera to the evo 3D has given me cause to follow-up.

Igor has done some fine work with this port. The overall potential functionality which this app brings has me quite excited! This initial excitement is what led me to author my prelimianry review of Igor's port of the Amaze camera app to the evo 3D. My enthusiasm got the better of me in my first review of Igor's port and I corrected errors in my original post which were pointed out to me by others here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19518867&postcount=305

In this regard my enthusiasm and love of photography are what led me to pester Scott (of Scott's ROMs, CLEAN ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193369 (the HANDS DOWN BEST ROM for the Sprint CDMA) to include ver 0.8 of Igor's port as the camera app in his ROM.

In all liklehod this is the best camera port I have seen in quite some time. I am not a fan of ports in general because something always winds up borked (or borks some other interdependent functionality). In this regard this port is not without its share of issues and my experience with the port in all it's incarnations 0.8 through 0.11 are as follows:

1.) There is no control over metering. The application defaults to "Average" which in many situations gives less than optimal results.

2.) There are problems between the images\videos captured with the port and the HTC Gallery necessary to view 3D renditions in both still and video formats. If one tries to apply effects to captured images under certain circumstances within the gallery there is a FC or no FC and a return to the homescreen.

3.) Burst does not work.

4.) Panorama (Scene Stretch, whatever you want to call it) dos not work.

5.) MOST IMPORTANT, (should have mentioned it first) METERING SELECTION does not work. This is one of the singurlary most important functions without which one cannot fullly take advantage of the potential increased DR the port offers.

There are other issues with the port which do not make it a "trouble free" replacement for the stock camera. It has, as such, been replaced by the stock camera in Scott's CLEAN ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193369 (as of ver 2.9 again IMHO THE ROM any self respecting roted Sprint evo 3D owner should be running!).

I hope Igor, you continue your fine work on this app.

Thanks, your efforts are apprciated!

I do not think you would want to install this camera on the evo 4G. There would be little or nothing to gain. The stock 4G camera app is quite robust and the pics and video it produces leave very little if anything to be desired.

I am planning to buy a HTC Evo 3D, but I have heard that its camera is very terrible in low light because it is very slow to focus and takes blurry shots in indoor lightings. At the same time, guys here have ported HTC Amaze 4G camera to Evo 3D.

Kindly tell me that if the Amaze 4G camera is ported to Evo 3D, does it make the HTC Evo 3D focus and take snaps quicker in indoor lightings compared to stock camera of 3D.

I've only taken a few shots with the new Amaze port and am very happy so far. I had the same issues with the stock app as you did.
