**[ Camera ICS+WFS ] brings Ice Cream Sandwich camera to non ICS phones **

The stock Ice Cream Sandwich camera application is pretty nice. Clean and simple interface, really easy to use, and of course that built in panorama mode is awesome. A developer by the name of Moblynx has taken the stock app, and tweaked it ever so slightly to add some nice extra features. Up until now the app has only been available for Honeycomb and ICS devices. Today it received an update, that now lets anyone on Froyo and Gingerbread join in.

There is a free version -- but seriously who wants ads in their camera app? The paid version currently sets you back £0.79/$0.99(:eek: AdFree Android do exist) For that you get the stock ICS camera application with some added bonuses. You get some built in photo effects like mono and sepia, silent mode, a picture quality setting that goes all the way up to ultra, a silent mode and of course the panorama feature to name but a few.

Running the app on an ICS device also gets you additional video stabilization features and 720p face effects.

Besides opening up to 2.2 and 2.3 devices, todays update also includes Intel x86 support, configurable volume buttons and a host of bugfixes. Download links to the paid version can be found after the break.

Note: THANKS androidcentral,Richard Devine for this small ics touch ...[CLOSED] [ROM] [DEV] [ICS] Ice Cream Sandwich project is in waiting list for now till then enjoy the ics camera :(

Video is definitely better especially when using the x2 bitrate setting, I'm using cm7 though and have not tested on other roms.
[HTC Wildfire S] apherio:
I really enjoy the ICS theme. Better than the stock ? Not sure, but it is nice.It didn't make the image quality much better with the D2G camera but it sure did make it better to use. Fast and focused. The Panorama is really cool. I'm going to use this much more often because if the Panorama's ease and quality. I'm not seeing any adds, perhaps that's because I run an add blocker.:cool:

[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
I've been saying for years to people that rooting does not affect your ability to return a faulty phone. I have returned dozens of phones rooted rommed and even a few bricks. Verizon does not give a ****, why would they? It's just software , and when the device is refurbished it is wiped with machines that are built to reinstall the factory condition (think of re imaging a pc harddrive with the manufactures build of windows)

But now with phones saying "tampered" I'm seeing more and more people worried ..

Well don't take my word for it...

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/1...ging-full-price-of-warranty-phones-if-rooted/

" Our friends at Verizon saw this post and wanted to reach out to clarify everything immediately. First up, is the fact that their policy says absolutely nothing about checking for root on devices. When a phone is received, a phone is checked for three things and that definitely isn’t one of them. They check to see if the box that the device was sent in is damaged, if the outside of the phone looks awful, and if it powers on – satisfy all of those and they move on to the next phone. So basically, these reports of being charged for a rooted phone simply mean that these people were sending in garbage phone with defects."
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
You unlock your bootloader you voided warrenty. This is why we need s-off so we can go back to full factory if need be. I sure wont be sending my rezound into verizon.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
not every s-off method, is capable of turning back to s-on..
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
The point is.. it doesnt matter. Verizon is not checking that.

As I said , I've sent back many devices rooted. HTC dinc.. sent back like 6 of them with s-off.. same with thunderbolt and dinc2. And now.. between my wife and I, we sent in 3 rezounds.. they have all been unlocked and rooted.

So either I'm really lucky (which would he news to me) or verizon doesn't give a ****.. as indicated by them saying "we don't give a ****" in that article
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Show me where this is stated explicitly.. otherwise your just perpetuating incorrect information
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
every phone ive had i could go back to s-on. hero, evo4g, tbolt, dinc2.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

not incorrect info. read the disclaimers on the htc dev site, the revolutionary unlock site, heck most if not all of the custom rom threads. if you unlock and root you voided the warranty, since if you relock the bootloader on the rezound both verizon and htc will know by it saying "relocked". im not taking the chance of being charged $500+ to ship it in for repairs.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Your s-off obsession is starting to worry me.. you need another hobby.

And read the disclaimers--it says you MAY void your warranty. HTC is effectively letting you know they'll choose to honor the warranty or not. And they may. Which means it's not voided. It means it might be voided.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
it's not an obsession at all, it's the fact that if my phone bricks or becomes defective once i unlock via htc dev there is no way to go back to a full factory state. im sure this is why alot of users have not unlocked and just stay stock. trust me if i knew how to make s-off happen i would. i remember when this phone first launched the devs were hellbound on trying to get it achieved and since it's become a dead project up until recently.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
It's become a dead project because there's zero evidence that not being able to go back to a factory state matters in the slightest. To anyone. To the user, to Verizon, to HTC. It means nothing to have "relocked" stamped at the top of your phone.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
might not void the htc warranty but it does void your insurance with verizon. which means i could not get a free replacement device without paying or going without my phone for a few weeks. that's all i was saying.

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

point taken, to each their own but i knew the risks when i unlocked and i sure won't be the first to send my phone into verizon, ill just buy another.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
There's zero evidence of that as well. There's simply nothing to indicate your fears are grounded in any sort of fact.

Edit: Tons of people have sent in a relocked phone, myself included, and it's never been a problem for anyone. Ever.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
not going to argue, i just know i won't be a guinea pig and try to ship it in. it also boils down to what tech you have working on your phone. i remember in my sprint days some stores would flag your device and some would not.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Dude, tons of people have done it on this forum and others, with, as far as I know, a 100% success rate. You're not a guinea pig, you're among thousands of other people who have done the exact same thing.

I guess I don't really give a **** in the grand scheme of things, my Rezound is off contract, but it's a fear that has no basis in any sort of experience any user has had with Verizon, Assurion, or HTC. And if you have insurance, just dunk your phone in your toilet so it doesn't turn on if you're that worried.
[HTC Rezound] djdubd:
I've sent two Rezounds back to Verizon, both rooted and relocked, no problems at all.

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
so even with a statement from Verizon saying they don't check for that stuff, you still think that they do? But you offer no evidence of this. That's fine..

I am going to get to the bottom of this, because it seems that everyone is just going off of what they "think" is the right answer, with no real evidence.

Im a researcher in physics and engineering, and I can assure you that if someone on my team said "well ya this is what happens because i said so..." it would not go over well.

If it takes me a day or a month, im going to get definitive answers about exactly what is covered and not covered under warranty replacements when it comes to rooting and unlocking.

my hypothesis is that if a phone has a factory defect (bad pixels, faulty buttons) then rooted or not, unlocked or not, it will be replaced. I base this off of YEARS of replacing DOZENS or devices, and not once have I ever "restored" them to factory conditions. I have never been charged for a device. They also say you have to return the device in 10 days or you will be charged. Ive returned devices 2 months later and never been charged, I often wonder if then even verify that it was returned at all..

Anyway, I will get back to this.. my biggest pet peeve is people passing faulty, or "propaganda" information with absolutely no evidence to support it. (myself included)
[HTC Rezound] sebastianraven:
I have to agree with you Serinety. Gone through 30+ exchanges and not once has rooting been an issue. EVER.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
I agree, there's no point in arguing. Send it back, don't send it back, it's your choice in the end.

and you wouldn't be a guinea pig, I have, like the OP, sent back over a dozen phones between Eris, inc1, and inc2 that were each time still rooted with s-off, and never had an issue.

I am not however going to care whether or not you choose to do so, nor should anyone else. It's your phone, you paid for it, do with it as you please. :cool:

God Bless.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Found this Already

key words here.. "MAY NOT" and "RESULTING FROM"

This means that normal factory defects will not be affected by rooting or unlocking. things like dead pixels, faulty buttons. etc.. as they are not "resulting from the unlocking of the bootloader"

this is pretty cut and dry in my opinion, still, I have emailed both VZW and HTC in order to confirm
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
This is pretty much the point I suppose. But for some reason, I feel compelled to dismantle this myth once and for all lol. Though like anything, sometimes you can present all the empirical evidence in the world and people will still believe what they want.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I mean, it's not totally a myth--Verizon could, I suppose, decide tomorrow to start checking all phones for relocked bootloaders just to **** with us. But the point is that they haven't, and there's no evidence they will, and even if they decided to do that, we'd probably get wind of it.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
True, they could. I wonder how that would go down tho..

so say you send in your rooted phone for some reason, obviously you talked to a tech before hand (that's how they authorize the return) and they verified your fault.

you send in phone, they send you replacement.

then they charge you 600 bucks.. for a phone THEY now have in their possession. It seems like warranty claims that would be denied by rooting/unlocking would be caught by the rep authorizing the return. Otherwise they are charging you for equipment that they now own.

If they returned the phone to you, and gave you an opportunity to return the replacement, then MAYBE I could see a validation. In the end, it just seems like its much cheaper for them to just replace phones, using their customer service system to verify the damages before the returns are made.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, I think you're right. Who knows what adding another step to the process costs them. And anyway, there's some pretty reliable evidence that Verizon techs can see what ROM and firmware you're running--if they really wanted to know, they'd just look at that. Doesn't matter if you're s-off or unlocked, they'd catch you that way if they truly cared.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
I've only had to replace one phone (my Incredible), and not only did I leave it S-Off and rooted with a cuatom ROM, they received it three days after their deadline.

Verizon's response? A text saying thank you for rsturning your faulty device.

They want to make money. They don't make money by driving customers away, and charging 600 dollars because you unlocked your phone before it died drives customers away.

Just my two cents.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I was told explicitly by a very upper-level CS guy that they don't start caring about your return until after 30 days. The 5-day thing is just them trying to scare you into getting it in quickly. Probably not worth testing them on it, but just makes the point that this is the one place Verizon isn't trying to extract every penny from you. But who knows, maybe we live in a halcyon period. Thankfully LTE and SIM cards give us a lot more control over our devices. Now if only we could switch to a European model of buying our own devices full-price in exchange for lower contract costs..
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
really this "void" or "no void" debate is age old and no one really knows for sure.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I've only returned two devices, both of which were rooted. My OG Droid had a faulty power button so I SBF'd it and sent it back just to be on the safe side and got a refurb the next day. A little while late I got an Inc and about a week after I got it I was flashing on of Chad's kernels and on reboot got the "five vibes of death" (turned itself back to S-On, EMMC and SDcard were inaccessable, CWM was on it and I couldn't remove it, and it wouldn't boot to Android). I called up and did a warranty claim, wiped /system, /boot, /data and everything else so it wouldn't boot at all and sent it back in (had to pay $100 because I said I dropped it). A few days later I got a brand new Incredible in the box with all the accessories. Never heard anything else about them.

IMO they don't really care about it because they have the tools to fix softbricks, hardbricks may be a different story since that's not to easy to fix.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
yea, I don't understand why it's such a debate..

if you want to send it in, do it, just about all have had no issues.

if you don't want to. fine then don't.

let's all get together lol
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Oh my god. Are you really this thick? Yes, we do know for sure. There is no credible instance of someone being charged for being s-off, rooted, or unlocked. Now, this is an epistemological problem with inductive reasoning, and one that Hume pointed to in the 18th century, but I'm reasonably satisfied that there are only white swans.
[HTC Rezound] FabianaS:
I can speak from personal experience that they do at least verify if your phone has been returned because they tried to charge me 500+ when they "thought" I didn't return my phone! Me and my boyfriend both had Dinc2's and we switched because he didn't care and I wanted his cause it was newer (long story) but anyways, I had an issue with it at some point and called it in and they were expecting my phone but they got his.. so the serial number didn't match.. so they wanted to charge me.. we got it cleared up and there was no charge in the end.. BUT you can see the seriel number on the phone itself I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that you don't have to go into bootloader to check that..
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
yes. :D

10char
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
well..

i hate to say this but..

I have 2 rezounds and I only paid for one. I had one exchanged for a stuck pixel, they sent me a new one, and I still have both. That was in november.

Also have 3 DINCs, and 2 Thunderbolts, ... I don't how they verify that you have returned phones, but I have 6 phones here that they obviously didn't verify were returned.

Not a single charge for any of them. I have even activated them again for other people in my family.
[HTC Rezound] crazyjimbo:
Yes, those are the things that Verizon checks for. But the warranty is done by the manufacturer, not the carrier. I work at a warranty center for At&t, though the company I work for is contracted by both At&t and Verizon for their Device Support Centers.

The only manufacturer that doesn't consider rooting as voiding your warranty right now is Samsung, everyone else it does. So if the manufacturer receives a rooted device they can charge your account IN FULL and give you no option for you to return your phone or get your money back.

The manufacturers may not charge every time, but they do plenty of times. So, no, Verizon (or At&t) don't give a crap, but the manufacturers do.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
So untrue... If you unlocked your phone via HTC Dev it clearly says "unlocking your device

may

void all or parts of your warranty." It MAY, not it WILL. Everyone says it will, but they are all wrong...
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
since you work at a place that is "in the know" maybe you could shed some light on the topic. What purpose would charging a customer who returned a phone with dead pixels full replacement value because that phone was also rooted?

I assume you can answer this in some detail so that we can all understand.
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
I've sent back a few S-off devices as well with no problems. I have more problems with them forgetting I've sent it in at all as opposed to them seeing I've rooted.

But as far as this quote, you must mean "warranty" because you're not voiding any type of insurance. They dont care what you do to your phone. You pay for insurance they replace it.
[HTC Rezound] FabianaS:
I wish I had been so lucky... Around the 1weel mark after sending me a replacement they start nagging me with texts reminding me to send it back or they will charge me... And then I get those texts every two or three days!!! And it's happened every time... :(:(
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Wow that's a scumbag thing to do.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
Can no one simply read the warranty?

HTC has every right to not honor the warranty on a phone which has been damaged by modding. The warranty, and the unlocking service they offer make that clear:

Simply unlocking/rooting won't void the warranty - unless it caused the defect. So, if you're unlocked, and return a phone because of bad pixels, no problem, it's covered by the warranty. If you screw up while trying to flash new firmware, and "brick" the phone, they could deny a warranty claim.

Whether or not they actually do deny warranty claims on that basis is a completely different matter.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yep. Thanks. That's why HTC puts that MAY void not WILL void in their statement.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
agreed, it's borderline insurance fraud.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I take it most of the people have never modified a car and had warranty issue. The dealer would have to PROVE whatever modification you did to the car caused the issue in order to have your warranty voided. I would think the same applies to phones.

I was running CleanRom when my 1st Rezound took a **** on me and wouldn't power on. I guess ill see if I get slammed with a bill for it.

[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
hardly

the phones sit in a box on my desk for months waiting for that "text message", it never comes. technically, i suppose they could ask for them back right now and I could send them back.

It would be fraud If i were lying about the problem to get refurb phones and then selling them. fact is the extra phones are still as broken as they were when I called to have them replaced(bad charging port, bad volume rocker etc)

they sit in a drawer. why not send them back? because I am not responsible for their cruddy inventory management. don't really care if you agree with that statement or not :)
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
exactly, Its in my 2nd or 3rd post.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
IMO it is fraud. you should of sent those phones back in. there's no if ands or buts about it. sorry..

what would you do if they eventually charged you for all of those phones? i hope you got some serious cash laying around.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
And if that happens, then it happens.

however:

fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual

since the problem that caused me to get replacement was a real problem, and I have not personally gained by not returning them, im not sure how this definition fits.

abusing the system? .. eh maybe. Again if i stood to gain something. All I gain is the knowledge that most of what VZW says is BS :)

I also use wifi tether , sit at my colleges food court, and set my SSID to match the SSID of the schools. Why? Because im grandfathered into the unlimited plan and I want to see how much data I can use before VZW throttles the speed. so far ive hit 100+ GB and still no throttling.
