Hello!

I'm TheDeadCPU. I'm the new forum Moderator for the HTC Legend forum!

I thought I'd make this post to introduce you guys to me.

I'm just here to keep it clean here.

Anything you'd like stickied and such please just tell me in this thread!

Though this thread will be cleaned from such things after it's been fixed.

I hope you guys will like me!

Cheers,

TheDeadCPU
[Legend General] c_man:
Hey TheDeadCpu,

Nice to have you around.

I think it would be most beneficial to have a sticky with the content of *something* along the lines of: "Beginners Guide: Rooting a HTC Legend".

This type of stickied thread is common in most other sub forums :)
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
Indeed is but there isn't a such thread. Though I might make such a thread.
[Legend General] maxonite:
:( Oh no, Just saw your signature in another thread. Our new moderator doesnt even use Legend. Desire user you be....

I won't hold that against you, good to have you around.
[Legend General] Learners Lisence:
welcome, sir. We promise not to make your work difficult ;) Ive gained a lot from my times here and look forward to better times.
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
I did have a Legend for a short time so I know the device a bit. And I'm mostly here to make sure the forum is clean and that the people here are happy.

But I do understand your concern! Lol.
[Legend General] ch33syguy:
Please PLEASE sticky the downgrading thread. The copypasta thread on rooting from Modaco is mostly useless without it.
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
Done. Thanks for telling me that!
[Legend General] zoomee:
good to meet you mate. Hope we don't make your job too hard.

Request to stickie the thread about debranding the legend - I'm still getting PM's about it lol.

thanks.
[Legend General] chuchu777:
Good to have you around. :D
[Legend General] mtrax:
it would be good to see a summary of reported OTA releases? I'm finding it hard to figure out what is the latest as some of these only quote the last part of the version

ie perhaps the sticky could show this in the top part of the thread.

What Camera apps do you use? how do you manage to get the picture so god damn good? and how do you not get any picture blur?
[Desire General] andycted:
You beat me to it hehe.

It would be interesting to note those who removed the lens cover before taking the shot and those that edited the photo a bit before publishing. Mine are with lens on and without modifications

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
as with andycted, my images are with cover on and no adjustments. I'm not using any special camera app either. Just default camera (with saturation set to +1 because the colour is too bland without this setting. verified this with a colour card)

I don't think there is any secret to a good shot. Just take plenty and you get a few superb ones. Plenty of light is probably the best way to avoid poor pictures. Although sometimes it can work to your advantage with the sun in front of you for some cool 'blinded by the sun' stylee shots :)
[Desire General] moesfeld:
I love the blinded shots. I had PhotoShop-Mobile this one a bit but think it came out pretty good.

[Desire General] andycted:
It's true that given the right light, pictures come out very very nice. But I've also noticed that since I use a spare battery and remove the cover about once every two days, I'm inclined to touch the interior, as well as the exterior, of the lens protector and sometimes it gets so smudged that photos seem one of those mystic paintings. I have to take care to clean both sides, then photos are so close as without the lens cover that it probably isn't worthy removing it.

Saturation +1 is also a nice tip, was about the same on the old touch hd (which actually was quite worse at taking photos though)

I'm quite pleased with the camera in the Desire, it's the flash I have a problem with. Night shots are still hard to get looking good, the flash is too powerful in most situations. Anyone got any good night shots, or can share any tips?? I would love it if I could turn down the light-level of the led flash.

[Desire General] Mr. Frost:
Ahhh, beer :D:D

I also experienced poor color quality. If you take a picture without the back cover, colors get a lot better. So it's often a problem with the lens in the cover. I ordered a sapphire glass lens, someone posted comparison pictures in a german board. With sapphire glass you'll get the same quality as without cover. The glass hasn't arrived yet ...
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Tell me more about this sapphire glass.... will you just stick it into the cover yourself? Or is there a cover with glass available?
[Desire General] smudgelab:
Very interested in this too, my lens has become shockingly scrtached & the pictures it now takes reflect this. Phone is always in a protective case & I never experienced this on my HD2 or my W995 before that (or in fact my N95, 5800, W810i & K800!), did the HD2 have a lens made of the same stuff as the Desire? Please update this thread when your lens arrives, is it the same shape, size, do you need to trim the new lens to fit etc, etc... Thanks in advance...

Here is the original thread in the german board with the comparison pictures, you can just use translator to get a few infos: http://www.android-hilfe.de/htc-des...-fotolinse-fuer-bessere-fotos-saphirglas.html

The ordered sapphire glass has the same size as the lens built in the cover. It has to be the same sice, sapphire glas is very hard and you can not trim it yourself. I haven't tried it yet but he says that it is pretty easy to push out the old lens and put in the new one and fix it with a special glue.

Pica's from the HTC Desire

Last two pictures are without the lens glass (removed by force). With a good shutter speed, pica's can turn out quit sharp.

The actual lens module has a cover itself too, so I'm not to worried. I avoid touching the lens area, but if done by accident, is it almost impossible to touch the lens module with your finger. At least, if you are not poking and stuff. The ring where the lens glass originally was located, shields it off quite ok.

See detail pic below. the smudge on the outer ring is hairs/dust caught by the glue still sticking on the outer ring (where the glass was located. I broke the glass upon removal, so no turning back :p ).

I have an AT&T Tilt 2 with the stock ROM and some tweaks. I would like the Insert/Picture function in my email program to default to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures for attaching photos instead of \My Device\My Documents\My Pictures. Is there a registry setting I can adjust to fix this?

On another subject, the folder \Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA keeps showing up like a bad penny. I delete it and it comes back, even though my camera saves to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures or ..\My Videos. It is annoying, especially with the above Insert/Picture issue. If the DCIM\100MEDIA folder exists on the storage card and I want to insert a picture in an email message, changing the search location from My Device to Storage Card always lands in the empty DCIM\100MEDIA folder. Then I have to navigate to ..\My Pictures - a tedious waste of time.

I have already set HKLM\SW\HTC\Camera\General\EnableDCIM to "0".

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
