I just installed this patch but I can't see any change about new Qtek rom...

I think bad quality is hardware (CCD and lens) and not only software!

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
if you install the fix correctly you will notice a slight light (exposure) change. especially at very low light, before the patch you will get a blue snow effect(spickles), after the patch this will be gone and u get a clear brighter sharper picture. i will send some example pictures if i can find them. :roll:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tsiros:
The .cab, does it only change registry settings, or does it tweak other stuff as well? I would like to know before i apply it... thanks...

also, there is a registry value which you set to 1 and it shows you the fps! the capture framerate however does not seem to work :/
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jromep07:
dus it work on my xda2??? is there any program that will enhanse my camera? tnx in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mainfram3:
I can vouch for the first patch (the most recent one). I took one picture before aplying it and two others afterwards and there's some improvement. Don't expect a very big difference though :)

I'll attach two pictures, one before and another after the patch. You can see some improvements on the sky and on the cars pictured.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] juiceppc:
After I installed that new .cab on my Qtek 9100 it seemed to have changed the brightness settings...? When I go into the Camera app it kicks the brightness up a notch. When I'm not in the Cam it seems my screen is dimmer than before but when I check the settings it's still on the middle notch... I dunno...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
on auto setting it works best 8), much better than before
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chrisredmayne:
its still extremely poor taking pictures in the dark even with the flash on - anyway to set it better? Ive tried changing the settings to dark...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
as i said, the result of camera quality can vary, even if it is the same phone and variant. in dark use night mode. now this patch isn't a miracle to turn your cam into perfect the camera sensor isn't just so good. it only gets a bit better. could some of you guys send some pictures after the patch so ppl can get an idea of what it is like :lol: :lol:

thanas,

In registry is possible to add a 320x240 (large/full screen) resolution video like have Magician???

Or with this processor speed is not possible at all?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
it SHOULD be possible. i think it is. but we need to figure out a way how to get that done. All the camera settings are in the registery, they can be modified only thing we need to know is where and what kind of value. i hope u guys try too, someone will succeed :).. there is a backup of the camera registery placed on this topic too so, dont be afraid to edit your registery :D :lol: together we can
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
dunno how anymore, but i managed to get a custom resolution on video capture. it is smaller than standard so maybe i could get it bigger im trying

Audio Problem

Hi, I've installed the newer cab for the camera on my O2 XDA mini S and now I have no sound at all. :( There is no sound in any application and the phone doesn't ring either. Please help
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
hmm it was made by t-mobile for the htc wizard, i think the best way to get it fixed is to import a backuped registery file of the audio settings. i don't have a htc magician so i'm sorry i can't help. ask someone to send you a backup who has the same phone :roll:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gadgetluva:
Is this a further improvement that works in conjunction with the other versions you previously posted on pg1?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
it is just for removal of the snow effect, dunno i found it. the other ones were especially for the htc wizard so :).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonazen:
Pretty dramatic difference! Do we know what's inside the patch? What it actually does? I was just mucking inside the camera application and looking at all the adjustments we can make to things like contrast, hue, saturation, etc. Wondering if they just changed the default values of these, or if it's actually a replacement for the existing camera software. (on a side note - found that this is "IA Camera Wizard" -- IA Style used to be an independent company but was swallowed up by HTC 2 years ago. Looks like the camera software in the Wizard is a decendent of the old standalone product...)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] szweju:
No Audio

As far as I know the O2 XDA mini S is the HTC Wizard and not the HTC Magician as you state Thanas. By the way my audio is working now and the the picture is better in low light but not as sharp as I would expect from a device like this.My Sony Erricson S700i was much better but there you go you can't have everything. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
hmm im sorry, my bad. i'm not familiar with all the variant names :oops: . but yea a htc wizard glad u have fixed it :lol: thumbs up

Camera qualtiy of this phone is not good.

i downloaded the software what u have put

but i dont know how to install it..

hey, you just have to put the .cab file on your phone, then browse to it with your phone and open it. it should install , install it on device not on storage ;) gd luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
the FPS tweak; you have to open a regkey called framerate and adjust the frames from 10 to 19 per second, not more; else it will be laggy. you can do that with MP4small and medium too ;) gdluck

Which patch to install

Hye,

I've a Orange spv m3000 device with a 1.3.1.4 FRA ROM.

What's the difference between the 3 patches, and which patch can i install ?

Thanks for your help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
install the latest camera patch; the first one
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jok3sta:
after insallin the patch my camera is actually slower now and its kinda blurry. anyone know why. its def brighter than b4 but its almost unusable cuz its so slow
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
it's cause the exposure is set higher, this is in darker areas. if you test your camera outside you will clearly see the difference.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] munzab:
seriously, the camera on this device is awful. after upgrade to 2.17 qtek rom, its still as bad.

all the blue snow. i applied both files posted in this thread and now, camera is slow and blurry. i tried a lot of tweaking with the settings, but oh well...

and i tried in light and dark...

i guess this is not going to be a very good machine to take pictures with...

thanks for trying with the files though...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pda-usr:

Thanks again thanas!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GliTCH82:
I'm really sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I backed up my HTC/Camera registry key before and after I installed Signed_CameraPatch_OV9650.sa.CAB and when I compared them side by side, they were the exact same!

So I did a CRC on the registry files and they are the exact same. My question is, if that file I mentioned above doesn't tweak the registry then what exactly is it doing?

Update:

I just installed the speckle fix, and apparently that one changes the registry. I have yet to find out what values it manipulates but I do have the changes exported so I can check them out later. Also, I should note that the speckle fix can be removed from Remove Programs whereas Signed_CameraPatch_OV9650.sa.CAB does not have an entry in there for removing it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GliTCH82:
Ok I just researched some more and I found out that the speckle fix shouldn't technically be doing anything at all. The reason is this:

ampda_Camera_Speckle_Fix.CAB appears to add the following:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\General]

"Contrast"=dword:00000005

"Brightness"=dword:00000006

"Saturation"=dword:00000003

"Hue"=dword:00000005

"Sharpness"=dword:00000003

"Contrast_User"=dword:00000005

"Brightness_User"=dword:00000006

"Hue_User"=dword:00000005

"Sharpness_User"=dword:00000003

"Saturation_User"=dword:00000003

"ActionScreen"=dword:00000001

"BackLight"=dword:00000001

"ShutterSound"=dword:00000001

"FlickerSelection"=dword:00000000

"EnableAutoFlicker"=dword:00000001

"EnableFrameRate"=dword:00000000

"EnableHopper"=dword:00000001

"Ambience"=dword:00000000

"CheckBatteryTime"=dword:0000003C

"EnableDayTimePath"=dword:00000000

"EnableIPSM"=dword:00000001

However, the default registry file that I had before the speckle fix had this key which is similar:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\General]

"Saturation_User"=dword:00000004

"Gamma_User"=dword:00000005

"Hue_User"=dword:00000004

"Brightness_User"=dword:00000078

"Contrast_User"=dword:00000005

"Saturation"=dword:00000004

"Gamma"=dword:00000005

"Hue"=dword:00000004

"Brightness"=dword:00000078

"Contrast"=dword:00000005

"SupportThreadSave"=dword:00000001

"EnableDayTimePath"=dword:00000000

"RelationDirection"=dword:00000001

"CheckBatteryTime"=dword:0000003C

"Ambience"=dword:00000000

"EnableHopper"=dword:00000001

"EnableFrameRate"=dword:00000000

"EnableAutoFlicker"=dword:00000001

"FlickerSelection"=dword:00000000

"ShutterSound"=dword:00000001

"BackLight"=dword:00000001

"ActionScreen"=dword:00000001

You will notice the location of both keys is different. After the speckle fix, I now have both keys in my HTC/Camera registry, with the speckle fix having added its modifications to the AppDefSettings subkey. I have to wonder if this is a typo from the creator of the speckle fix, and if they really meant to modify the key under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\General]

I will do some more research and report back to you.

GliTCH82:

The Signed_CameraPatch_OV9650.sa.CAB replaces several files (I am afraid I don't know which ones at this point, as I did not keep notes when I did my experimenting with it).

As for the registry keys, they differ between the various manufacturer's ROM versions. I do not know for sure, but I believe [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\General] is for the older ROMs (1.x series) and [KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\General] is for the newer ROMs (2.x series).

I installed the blue snow fix.. and it works great.. BUT the othe signed camera fix made oudoor shots AWFUL.. regardless of what white balance setting I use, the preview on screen looks amazing.. but as soon as I take a shot it brightens so much you can barely see whats on screen. Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thanas:
it does increase the brightness exaggerated , though it's still better than before. try using daylight or other profiles wich recuire not much light, else the exposure will be too high. avoid using profiles like night mode and and/or set your own manual settings
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GliTCH82:
I'm pretty sure we're all dealing with 3 factors here.

1. The hardware. The camera itself is an OV9650 CCD chip and it has some nice features, albeit subpar.

2. The camera driver. This file is OV9650.dll on the PPC and it is replaced by both the TMO and the Signed driver patches.

3. The HTC camera app. Controls some settings for the driver.

The speckle fixes are either HTC camera app replacements or registry tweaks for the HTC camera app.

I have not installed the ampda speckle fix yet, but I believe it replaces the camera app. Can someone with the patch tell me what version of the camera app they are running?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GliTCH82:
On my 8125 I've been loading Signed_CameraPatch_OV9650.sa.CAB and the ampda speckle fix (not sure if the order matters but I've been installing them in that exact order), I've found that the combination of both of these has improved my 8125's camera quality drastically. Specifically, the contrast is much better and the blue speckles that occur in lower light conditions are almost non-existent.

...are all the same device, just rebranded. What that means is if you see someone posting a thread with a tweak for ANY device on that list (for example this Camera thread) it means it should work on your Qtek 9100.

Anyone found a way to get a better video capture resolution on the wizard yet? I know there have been other topics about this, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. 176x144 is pretty lame, its worse than the camera on my P900, which is something like 0.3 MP... And its not even fullscreen. Surely we can use our 1.3 MP camera to its full potential? Who's stupid idea was it to limit it?

I found an MP4 Large option in the regisrty HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Recparam theres others aswell like AVILarge, I don't know if these may be of help.

Re: Hack for T-Mobile Camera

If your device looks something like this (you may have slightly different colours - eg keys and might have T-Mobile slapped on it somewhere)...

...then you have an MDA Vario. I don't why T-Mobile US decided to leave out the Vario part but rest assured it IS the same device as Qtek 9100 etc...
