Hastarin,

I am having the green photos issue when using the camera flash with the new 8.4 kernel amd Mdeejay 2.3 clean. Is there a fix for this or is it being worked on?

Just to let you all know, I also noticed the the resolution to be maxed at 1024 x 768 and as CuriousGeorge mention, manually setting a white balance is a fair workaround but I think I will go back to an earlier kernel still with a working auto focus but no digital zoom....which I don't really care for anyhoot! Wish I could stay with this kernel but the camera flash and auto white is important to me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Known issue. Not sure if anyone is working on it atm. But obviously it will be on the list.

[HD2 Android SD Development] curiousGeorge:
Manually change the white balance. It's not perfect, but it's the only way to reduce/change that green tint.

But in better news, I now get about 2mA drain on standby with 850 to 875mV underclocking. Woo! Remember how excited I was to report a single 2mA drop in a sea of 3-5mA? Now it's a sea of 2mA. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] projection:
Is that with Wifi and 3G off?
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
CuriousGeorge,

Maybe I am am stepping to far in with this...possibly beyond my capabilities, but is it difficult to undervolt? I can't seem to figure it out based on what I have read in this forum and in the changelog.
[HD2 Android SD Development] projection:
Here is my consumption with 8.4 and Wifi, 3G, push email, exchange sync on.

Have not had time yet to configure UV settings, since I only got my HD2 yesterday, but with MDJ's kernel I had random freezes (the settings are probably too agressive, since every chip is different).

In standby it seems to be 10-11mA. Battery life seems okay, I think it'll manage through the day.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JanssoN:
Thx for your values, just changed them to yours. Seems to be as stable as before :D

Edit: Changed back after rebooting.. I need to get the patch done.

Hi Hastarin,

You were right! I sat it out and the light turned green while lower than 4mA.

But (this you already will know I guess) now it starts to switch between 99% and 100% and thus te light between amber and green.

To be precise:

2010/11/18 11:41:21,6mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:42:21,5mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:43:21,5mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:44:21,5mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:45:22,5mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:46:22,5mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:49:22,3mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:50:22,5mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:51:22,4mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:52:22,4mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:53:22,0mA,100% >> Light went green

2010/11/18 11:54:23,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 11:55:23,-5mA,99% >> weather synced, light went amber

2010/11/18 11:56:23,5mA,99%

2010/11/18 11:57:23,4mA,99%

2010/11/18 11:58:23,4mA,100% >> light green again

2010/11/18 11:59:23,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:00:23,-15mA,99% >> recieved sms, light amber again

2010/11/18 12:01:23,5mA,99%

2010/11/18 12:02:23,4mA,99%

2010/11/18 12:03:23,4mA,100% >> light green again

2010/11/18 12:04:23,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:05:24,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:06:24,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:07:24,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:08:24,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:09:24,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:10:24,0mA,100%

2010/11/18 12:11:24,-4mA,99% >> light amber again

So it's a constant cycle between charging/full/charging/full.

Can't say that I like it that way honestly.

At this point the light is green, charging stopped, 0mA current widget but battery widget shows 99% :confused:

So it does exactly as you stated with eb version, but I don't think it really suits te stock batts. Think this is a kernel for the ext batts.

You already release 2 verions, one without the old batt driver for ext batts and I think that's the way to go for other kernel builders as well, especially Mdeejay, because yours and his are the most used nowadays.
[HD2 Android SD Development] projection:
I have the same issue (Sense clean 2.3 build). All pictures taken at 5mp are 1024x768.

However, I only took the new camera apk, I did not download Camerafix.zip yet. Going to try that as well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] projection:
Confirmed, camera does not work properly.

Just managed to freeze my phone with it as well.

The only resolutions that work are 1M and 3M.

Everything else (Small, 5M) takes pictures, that are 1024x768.

I now have the libs AND the htccamera.apk from the first post...

ROM is 2.3 Clean, WinMo ROM is OzDroid 2.00...

I could not have any "leftovers" as well, since I only got this phone yesterday, installed Radio 2.15, OzDroid, 2.3 clean, and Hastarin 8.3 on it right away. Today in the morning updated to Hastarin 8.4.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Hastarin,

Please help me here. My battery appears to have gone mad with 8.2 upwards. I am now running 8.4. When I used 8.1 and below my idle battery consumption was a sweet 5mA. When I upgraded the kernel to 8.2 the standby consumption got mad and shoot to 87mA. :mad:

I am using Phiremod themed Evo 1.7 rom at the moment and I have absolutely no idea which vampires are swallowing my juice. Is there a way of identifying the culprit. I uninstalled all the recent apps but still no change. By the way how do I open the data log for the Current widget. I have tried to access it through all the programmes including root explorer but I get a force close. I am hoping i can identify and isolate the culprit. Thx buddy for fantastic work. :eek:
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
With the same setup as you Hastarin, using 8.4, camera issues are:

- no 5mp res

- green flash photos in auto white mode (as already discussed)

- seems to take widescreen photos, but really just previews stretched 4x3. Final photo when looking through all photos show it is not widescreen

With 8.1 / 8.2

- 5mp 4x3 photos fine but not widescreen

- flash and auto focus is good

- no zoom as known already

[HD2 Android SD Development] carhigh:
I'm using the 8.2 with the gsensor fix posteda few pages back and seems to be good so far.

I tried 8.3 but had camera problems. Luckily I had backup of my android folder to go back. I tried both sets of modules for the camera and just couldn't get it to work. I think it was a problem cause I'm on a cm6 build.

Will 8.4 have these same issues with the shubcraft I'm on? Or will the updates work now?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Okay I openned the Current widget log file from the comp. This is what the latest log shows. This is after I killed all the tasks and of course with screen off. Somebody help me understand this.....:confused:

I have a problem after using kernel 7.7 or 7.8 which patched WIFI mac fix:

So when phone startup, system will jump out a dialog said like system process is no repsonse, chose stop or wait. I chose wait and it will be closed and never jump out.

Seems this is not big problem bu it's still quite annoy. Any comments about this?

I just try new 8.3 version, seems still have the problem.

Were you by any chance charging from USB and doing something that would use a lot of power?

Once it is full it should stay at 0mA. That's what it is doing here. More than that it is too late in the day to think about it.

shubCRAFT V2 + hastarin 8.4 = white HTC screen...

I installed 8.4 on my shubCRAFT V2 rom. It fixes the TS/GSensor problem, but broke the camera.

I tried installing the Camera.apk and libs suggested. But then on reboot the phone stops a the white HTC screen.

Using adb shell I managed to replace the libs with the original libs from shubCRAFT, at which point the phone continued to boot.. but obviously the new camera driver still doesn't work with the shubCRAFT's camera libs. I got the same problem with both the Desire and Nexus One camera libs..

Anyone had similar problems? Or could suggest a fix?

[HD2 Android SD Development] rafpigna:
It's not a FLASH issue.

It's a AUTO WHITE BALANCE issue.

Disable AUTO BALANCE and set it to any of the options and you will not have green pictures.

Anyway I really dislike this.

I prefer not having ZOOM but working Auto Balance... because now everytime you shoot a picture you have to think to wich white balance you have to use and set it before any picture... annoying

I will stick with 8.2 until the autobalance bug will not be solved :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sjuust:
I'm using darkstone HD2Froyo V3 and both camera libs makes the phone stop at HTC boot screen. (Luckily I made a copy of the Android folder before updating) So I guess I'm stuck with the 8.2 kernel with gsensor fix.

I occasionally have gotten drain of 70ms or so in standby. Usually a reboot fixed it, but every once in a while, even rebooting didn't work.

What I noticed is that if it's stuck at 70, I can turn off the phone, pull the battery, wait a minute, put the battery back in, and turn it on, and it's fine (3-7mA on standby.)

I have no explanation for this. It may even be a coincidence. But it might be worth a try.

Hi all,

I just updated to 8.4 and replaced all files, so far everything works as expected. I tested the camera and see nothing wrong. My question is how greenish were some of yours pics. I tested with flash on and off with different lighting environment and pics came out good.

Besides:

Battery is very good.(40% drained in 6 hours of really heavy used etc.. YouTube over 3g, internet, games)

WiFi good

3g good ( not drop yet)

System very responsive

Thank you very much Hastarin.

[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
Very Green. Dramatic. Unmistakable! Not subtle at all. ONLY WITH FLASH ON!

What is your specific setup?

I am going to try a fresh install tonight with Hastarin's custom Mdeejay 2.3 build and 8.3 kernel. If the camera is good...with or without further fixing, I will try adding the 8.4 kernel. If that works, I will try replacing the DATA file with my current one...the one I have been tweaking for a month.

Hastarin was telling us last week that he wanted to avoid UVOC versions of his kernel and I can understand why as my HD2 is unstable with 1190mhz but fairly stable with 1152 or less.

Also, I would still ask if anyone can give me any details as to HOW to change the UnderClock settings. It can't be from developers view. I am a power user.

I know you've started a bit with a no support attitude here but you've changed a great length and the fact that you made improvements for the community and shared them says a great deal about you.

For admins/mods, could you make the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719646 here a sticky and add hastarin to the contributors list?

Keep up the good work.
