I've found the application as you guys said it was in the thread in page 22, here is the link petkov.bg/temp/cammera_button_fix.rar

why dont you add it to your first post cuz it works like a charm
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
New version arrived. Please post defects if any.

Testing of version 0.6

Hello, thanks for the new version. Many useful features, but I noticed the following issue on my HD2: After you take a picture and you go to the preview, you have 3 buttons, namely Save, Delete, and Pictures. The problem is that Save and Delete do not work. Pictures works, but when it opens the pictures album, if you press on a photo you don't get a menu in order to delete it if you want. So the only way to delete a photo you took is to open the original Pictures app and delete it from there.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
it is not a bug - save and delete designed to save or delete pictures/videos taken by the app before it will be sent to album - those buttons will work only if autosave is disabled. also - no way to delete pictures saved in album from the app.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] NYCspeedSurfer:
Thanks for your work on this, however, this version gives me the following error when I try to open it on the phone:

"COM object with CLSID'(EEA7F43B-A32D4767-9AE7-9A53DA197455 cannot be created due to the following error. The network request is not supported."

I had to revert back to the SHCameraApp051 version. Can you say what changes you made in this version and perhaps have some insight about this error?

Running WP7 on HD2, activated and unlocked. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
This is native libraries registration - that's why I asked for bugs... will try to figure what can cause it. Still this is strange - have you tried to reboot your phone?

SHCameraApp as default camera

Hey Sergey_H as u mentioned in one of your post that you think the app to make ur camera app be used by hardware button, posted in this very thread, doesn't use registry settings. In fact all it does is registry tweak only. For your future ref

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\System\OOM\AutoDehydrateExceptions">

<parm name="app://7d935fc9-e50a-4178-adba-2ad1cd38a4ad/_default" value="1" datatype="integer" />

</characteristic>

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Camera">

<parm name="Application" value="app://7d935fc9-e50a-4178-adba-2ad1cd38a4ad/_default" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

is all it adds to make your app default WP7 camera.

Hope this help you in making future tweaks to your app and finally a default WP7 app integrated to next installation/deployment.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
interesting :) thanks - looks like I have to add registry tweaks in my app :)

How to set it as the default camera program..

some app requiring camera function don't respond after SHCameraApp is installed.. how to set SHCamera as the default camera app..thx.:D

Same trouble in new version when i make landscape picture and i look it rotate in portraid mode.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] NYCspeedSurfer:
I just wanted to let you know that I got 061 version working for me. AND I got the default camera button to call SHCameraApp061 by using the RegEdit posted a couple of posts above. Now if I could just get Pic2Shop or other barcode scanning software to call SHCamera instead of default camera....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] hjhjhj:
Sergey thanks for all your nice work. Any chance of integrating an enhancement for adjusting the white balance in photos and video like the native wp7 camera app into your SHCamera app?

Thanks.

I do think about adding it - the problem is that I just dont know how :) So dont expect it soon.

just try to take pictures 1-2 sec after you turn the phone into portrait position - it should help.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] huismeester:
Hello Sergey_H

About making pictures in landscape and portraid 0.51 works better than 0.6

In 0.6 somtimes when i make after 3 0r 4 sec. landscape it thurn into portraid but in 0.51 it is good.

Some ideas

Sergey_H I have loved your app for my HD2 and have completely replaced the default camera on my HD7 with the tweaks a few pages back. I had just a few thoughts about other features you can add if possible. Is there a way to you can upload a photo to facebook from inside your app like the default app. I know you are working on saving videos automatically, but again it would be great to upload to facebook, which you can't even do from the default app so I have no idea if that is possible. Again great job and keep up the great work!!!

Invalid Operation Exceotion

Hey after taking about 7 Photo's in portrait, in the same position, I get a 'InvalidOperationException'

Note: The phone is docked, all I did was press take picture button after every shot, and after the seventh, I got the error.

Now after pressing the 'Win' button, I load the program up, Change the settings to, take highest resolution shots (1600x1200),turned autosave on, vibration on & autofocus on, press save, swype right, take a picture, and I got this error?

0x803a008a

After this happened, I not pressed the Win button again, loaded program, and when I press the take a picture button, the icon just turns into a white box?

Loaded program one more time, this time it takes a picture, gives me the 0x803a008a error, AFTER it took a picture...

What am I doing wrong?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] jardan:
I love your app, it is very good, stable and takes nice pictures; but I have a problem with videos. it keeps not saving videos and either get an error message or no message at all but not saving the video...

Any ideas?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
1. do you have enough free space on a flash card?

2. autosave for videos is not working - you need to press save button

1. try to restart the phone

2. check free space

3. also this error could happen when you use app while phone still connected to PC - which is not supported

I have only webmoney account - it is in the first post. pay pal is not available in Ukraine :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] dss4me3:
Is their a way to get a settings option to integrate date stamp into the picture on the next release. I need this for work.

Just a thought that I think will benefit some users.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] jardan:
I have more than enough space and even when pressing the save button the video does not get saved. once I got an error message, probably because I pressed the save button too many times.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] ageell2004:
perhaps u can add in timer setting?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Cero92:
Sometimes when i hit the button to take a photo, this button becomes a white square and nothing happens, i mean, the camera doesn't take any photo... i think i get this problem only with autosave active, but i'm not sure if it's a casuality
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] AdeyDiver:
Great App

running the latest version and after making the registry changes shown earlier in this thread the camera button fires up the SHCameraAPP.

Is there anyway to make other apps which call the default camera e.g. shop savvy as this still fires up the built in camera?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] hjhjhj:
I'm sure there's a way to modify the registry to make SHCamera the default camera app for the system...just a matter of know which registry mods to make.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] lyubohar:
Same here, after first photo taken, button becomes inactive. It's there, but it's not active and you need to completely get out of the app and re-launch. Then make one single shot and repeat...

Also, sometimes the orientation goes crazy and you see everything in reversed direction, no matter how you rotate the phone. Again, need to exit and re-launch.

These two aside, the app does a pretty good job in terms of image/video quality.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] sthEn:
Stupid question i suppose, but if one was able to change hardware key mapping to SHCameraApp, can it be done for other hubs like People or Last Calls? I'd really want my "phone button" to go to "phone section" instead of Camera ;>
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] gx211:
awsome

thank you so much for this app. It works like a charm for me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] aled99:
A bit off topic... but I think it might be possible.

I'm not a dev, so don't really know what the app to 'fix' the hardware button does.

Just quickly looked at the files and I think it might make 2 changes to the registry, as shown in a post earlier in this thread:

These registry entries are in the file 'CustClear.provxm' in the fix xaps.

I think you could change the '7d935fc9-e50a-4178-adba-2ad1cd38a4ad' bit to a different code (GUID?)http://dotnet.dzone.com/articles/windows-phone-7-tip-day-know?mz=27249-windowsphone7 and use the hardware button to use a different app.

I've attached an example of this, which opens up the people hub when the call button is pressed.

Thanks to

for providing the fix app, and a big thanks to Sergey for a great camera app!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] sthEn:
OMG, thank you so much, it's working perfectly with People's hub :)

But it didn't work with Call History using 5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5611 GUID, could you please try it? :(

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] sarblohw:
can i plz request u to try and get the full screen camera app in the next update and also can sumthing be done abt the green tinge in the camera that i believe is there due to the flash latency... and also just to bring to ur notice, the app sumtimes does not show up all the buttons and then sometimes it automatically does... dunno babt that but im happy with the app... thanx a ton for that

First of all many thanks for the app.

I would like to ask how exactly this donate thing goes. How to donate exactly?

Can i donate if i don't have a paypal of anythong else like it?

And one more question.

Could you make your camera app to start even on locked screen for hardbutton longpress, like the original?

Thank a Lot!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] beston94:
Wow this beats the living **** out of the normal camera that comes with wp7:D. So thanks!!!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] hjhjhj:
If you have read/searched the forum and this thread regarding the green tint of flashed photos..it is hardware driver issue and there is not a fix! Since WP7 was not meant to be run on the HD2, you would need to find a hardware driver that runs under WP7 for the HD2...and only HTC itself can provide that.

BTW...there is such a thing as Search function so you don't repeat posts and questions.

hi, thanks for making this app, when I take the photos out as if I had these very bright image. is the driver? look is the same place a photo with a trophy with the original program and the other with the shcamera hd2. look at the difference, it may improve?

sorry, no let me put the link correctly but if you really complete the picture.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
Looks really strange, still I'm 99% sure that this is the driver tricks - because white balance, brightness, etc. are controlled by it. There are no other settings except resolution.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] mad2525:
ok, maybe the camera is that the trophy is better than hd2, but should not be so, no? that in theory is the same, no? anyway is the best application for the camera. be aware if someone else has happened. thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] drkfngthdragnlrd:
In a way you are right & wrong. The 5MP camera is part of the qualcomm chipset so that part is the same across all WP7 devices. Where you are wrong, is that the hardware lens. This can greatly increase/decrease the quality of the camera. The bigger the lens & more light that it can absorb, the better the picture quality no matter how many MP the camera is. I highly doubt all WP7 devices use the same exact lens. This is the main reason DSLR camera's are so expensive & better picture quality than regular digital camera's.

@Sergey_H

Is it possible to change the filenames of the pictures in the registry or somewhere else?

Filenames like "17052011_174874.jpg" are just confusing. YYYYMMDD_000001...000002... would be way better because the hashes it creates now are not even uniformly ascending...

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
current format is ddmmyyyy_hhmmss

there is no way to change it in registry as the app doesnt you it :) still - i will think of giving the option to do it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Rosetti:
Thank you for your reply. Would be great if the filenames would be shorter and just with a counter.

Ther's a regisrty hack that enable on-screan shutter button. Just hold the button, till camera lock focus, then relase.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Riverplace:
I had seen this registry hack, and tried it, but for some reason I didn't catch on to hold the button until the camera focused. It works for me now.

It also works on the stock camera. That saved my tag reader program, since the tag reader wouldn't recognize SHCameraApp.

How
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] mphxths:
Recording in 720p either with stock camera app or shcamera app results with zero-sized file.

Any ideas about this ?

Also when i record with shcamera in 720p and switch from cam to photo and photo to cam , it stucks and only "exit" from the app works.

I use xoboxmod's rom and my device is US HD2.

Thanks in advance.Great app overall.

EDIT:it seems it was rom-related. With other rom 720p recording is working as expected.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] mphxths:
Another subject that troubles me.

I record a clip at 640x480 , very good quality and media player classic uses DXVA toy play it.

I record a clip at 1280x720 and media player classic does NOT use DXVA to play it.

Also the quality seems inferior compared to 640x480 clip.

Anyone else noticing anything similar?

EDIT : As i see in media player classic , 720p clip doesnt use H264 codec , and thats explain the situation i mentionted above.But why isnt using the codec?

Hi Serg,

Im trying to install you app. but for some reason the .XAP file is showing as unknown file, which is weird as I have just installed WP7 services hack which also used .XAP files with no problem!

Have you got any ideas so I can take advantage of this great app? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] shifty001:
XAP file is Unknown!? "Fixed" :)

Edit: Ive been comparing my two .xap file and the only difference I can see is that the one that works is Type: Application, and your .xap is Type: Tom XAP Installer..... it is not seen as a .exe! :-S

Edit: OK, today my PC has decided to recognise the .XAP... Think my computer is just playing with me! lol Sorry guys! :)

But I still cant install, now getting "connection error" message

"-Please make sure your phone is unlocked!

-Please make sure your connected your device to PC and Zune launched

Try again?"

Update: Done! To unlock the phone I ran the ChevronWP7 unlocker (found in the "activate WP7 services" tutorial) and then the app installed no problem!

Thanks for this app! But what would be great is if we could install the camera app from WM6.5 onto WP7, as that camera was excellent giving a good sharp auto focus image.... The only thing I miss :( :D

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] mumtaz64:
Thank you Sergey :) Much appreciated
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] munkeyphyst:
the mango camera uses "touch the screen" to focus and take picture. It also has a built in auto-fix that might resolve the green tint issue. It also saves settings.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
not sure that we are talking about same Mango - beta1 (the only one available on HD2) has only save settings feature - all other issues are the same as in previous versions - no autofocus and grin tint with flash.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] munkeyphyst:
Oh, I was unaware that the HD2 could not load the beta2. Too bad, with MangoBeta2 you can touch the screen to focus and take the picture, and in camera options, there is a built in auto-fix feature that adjusts image contrast and color balance

the video doesn't allow for zoom while filming though. Love that feature in your app.

Native Code is not allowed, so that's why it doesn't work... :'(

[urlhttp://wmpoweruser.com/mango-will-block-the-ability-of-home-brew-apps-to-access-registry-other-native-resources/[/url]
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
thats not true - TouchXplorer uses native code and it works perfectly on Mango. Native code is not allowed - it just doesnt mean you cannot use it :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Rowdy.nl:
I doubt it, at least that TouchXplorer uses native code if it works on Mango.

The quote below is from Julien Schapman on his private bèta forum for Windows Phone Device Manager. Isn't he also the author of TouchXplorer?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
What's the point with arguing - I have a beta 1 Mango on my phone and TouchXplorer working. Plus I am 100% sure that is uses native code - as this is the only way to have access to the file system (xap also contains native access libraries - otherwise what the point putting them there? :) ). Anyway - I still had no time to dig it in, so... So Mango beta 1 allows to run native code - beta 2 dont know, probably Julien Schapman refers to beta 2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
Here you go - 0.6.2 with Mango support - some limitations though. Nodo users - no need to update.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Rowdy.nl:
No sweat, I was not trying to argue, just tried to warn you in case you didn't get it to work and couldn't find out why... ;)

Thanks for the new version!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] drkfngthdragnlrd:
TouchXplorer works in Mango Beta2 if pre-installed before upgrading to mango. It is the only native code app that works in Mango that isn't signed. This means, OEM apps that use native code do work, but they are signed with a cert that allows them to work. No one knows why TouchXplorer works that I know of. Probably just lucky & it somehow handles the exceptions. The only way to sideload a native app in Mango requires removing the CAP_INTEROPSERVICES line from the WMAppManifest.xml file in the XAP, but this breaks most apps (Navigon Select was the only native app I tried this on that worked). For example, TouchXplorer loads but displays nothing, no folders/files are shown. This is why they must be side loaded before Mango.
