I've been reading this thread from the Wizard Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45123&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Does anyone know if similar tweaks are available for the Tornado? I have the same problems with blue snow (in night mode) and the washouts from bright light sources, but the CCD seems to be decent becuase once in a while I catch a good pic. The Tornado has similar reg entries for the camera (I.E. they are in the same place) however I don't see the brigtness, gamma, etc. settings in the Tornado registry.

Ok about a month ago i posted a topic about the imate camera poorness and with no reply i decided to experiment myself. So i got the latest T-Mobile extended rom from this site and extraceted the file 00Camera.008 and renamed it to camera.exe and placed it in the windows on the device folder and walla! all is better. Hope this is of help!
Hi
What kind of poornes was that, and how did taking other camera.exe help ?
Hi,
what version of the camera software is it now ?`
Go to into the menu and go to INFO and please post it here.
Thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
Here are 2 CAB files with the new Camera.exe its version 2.7 build 20117.
These cab files have the speckle (or Nosie) fix built in.
Download either one (not both) and install.
Please remember to backup your PDA before installing, I use Sprite before any program installation.
I have a T-mobile MDA compact and my camera version is:
V2.70 (build 20677).

Oh can you copy the camera.exe and post it, I'll add it to the CAB File
Here is the new camera file (V2.70 build 20677). I don't know anything about the older versions so I don't know what's improved. You can adjust the contrast, brightness, saturation, hue and sharpness from the camera aplication. I don't know if this was p[ossible in earlier versions.
Greets,
Giovanni
Now, can you change the setting while the camera is working? how can i do this?
To change the settings:
Start the camera
Go to the camera settings
Choose tools and than ajust.
You can now ajust al the contrast, etc steeings.
Greetz,
Giovanni
Nothing is changed!!
How do you mean nothing has changed?
he means its still as grainy as it ever was.. as is mine.
I mean that is not possible to change the setting "on fly" while the cam is on.
lol and that to :lol:
It's true that you can't change it while using the camera. I hope there will be some decent camcorder and foto utility soom. When you look at Symbian devices (Iused to own a Nokia 6600) there are aplications that can record DIVX at 15 fps.
I'm not be able to find any utility for the cam
Run this CAB file and it will almost eliminate the speckles.

Sure you can. Go to Tools, Adjust and set the Saturation, Hue, Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness. After that the camera has the new settings immediately. Perhaps you have an old version without this option?

With the new versions of the Camera program my screen automatically jumps to landscape. Is this normal with all devices of just a Magician issue. I don't like it...

Hi, I just upgraded my Himalaya to WM5 from WM2003 and the camera is working fine although it does not let you zoom in/out, change the resolution, brightness or white balance. Does any one know of a fix or if you can get software to view better in the dark (night vision or something)

yeah mine does that too now you mention it
but i dident notice as i have long since come to terms
with the fact that the cam is as useless as a webcam from
1995
there have been posts about 3th party cam software
which may have some of the features you miss
personaly i would not hold my breath for any type
of quality from a non auto focus phonecam of less then even

ok, so the diamond forum has a thread on themes..however. it is pages and pages about sites that hold themes that you have to wade through only to find that none of them are VGA (all QVG or WQVGA etc)
so, how about we have a thread that links to or shows ONLY vga themes??
ONLY VGA THEMES!!!
I've been searching for hours for good VGA themes for SPB Mobile shell and not had a great deal of success.
so, if you have managed to find some good ones...link to them here or upload them here.
thanks
HEAR HEAR!!! TOtally agree with you mate, am also trying to find good themes, or at least an ORGANISED database to get those themes instead of them being all over the place.
Mmmmm..... so what do you mean by "VGA Only Theme" ?
Are you refering to the images (background etc) or to the whole look and feel?
I also presume that you are talking about Themes with TF3D disabled as by default - TF3D is true VGA?

That's what I was thinking...all tabs, all icons, and all tf3d apps (i.e. weather) is VGA to my understanding.
I was thinking more of themes that use MS rather than TF3D since I very quickly got bored with TF3D as it was all form and lack of function for me.
None of the TF3D themes I've seen improve on function: Clock taking up too much of screen, while the font size from date (day of week) is too small, and I can't even read the content of my next appointment (caused by font size & room on screen).
HTChome and its HHC are mostly (only ?) QVGA/WQVGA based.
I found HTC_Home_VGA.cab but that delivers unreadable fonts as well
It seems based on on a different HTChome.dll to be put in \windows that decrease the font to fit in the TINY -inoperable- boxes of a WQVGA screen.
Next, I found PJC_HTCHome.cab that delivers a properly readable screen ..... but ONLY with its built-in theme/icons. HHC (themes) does not operate properly with it, AND I saw that it stores its settings in different area of the registry.
Further I noted that using SecondToday was promising, but would NOT allow my agenda to be 'picked' on the second screen.
TF3D (when active) shows next agenda-item in too small a format, cannot be adjusted with either the Advanced-Configuration tool nor the DiamondTF3D config tool.
So... at the moment I have TF3D disables, and have PJC_HTChome on the 'primary' start screen (there, it IS showing the agenda item in a readable format).
I have SecondToday showing WLM, and BatteryStatus
Somehow in the process, I have lost the ability to QuickLaunch the AudioManager.
Perhaps that has a dependency on TF3D running ??
Status: Still no alternative themes for either TF3D, nor HTChome, and no properly working configuration manager.
I agree, which is why I dumped TF3D in the first place.
I have tried a few Mobile Shell themes and all have a few quirks in them, but on the whole they are getting better. there just aren't enough of them in VGA format
I've had a lot of issues with the screen constantly rotating on my fuze when i slide the keyboard out. Goes all the way from Monx>Pfcsabre>At0mAng and even self cooked roms in Da_G's kitchen. I never install any kind of g-sensor applications either. All i do is use the default calibrator.
A soft reset seems to fix it for a bit but before long it shows again. It's very frustrating while trying to type an sms/email and it keeps rotating from portrait to landscape.
I've tried to search for it...but if you put in g-sensor or screen rotate all ya get are apps. Has anyone else encountered this before?
Thanks

I did encounter with At0mAng's new ROM...... its too much in convenient that's why changed to my own build ROM. Its some thing to do with gsensor pack used or some drivers used from Diamond ROM( I cook my own ROM in AtOmang's kitchen)
Seems like u have Gyrator installed.... I use Energy Rom and it only rotates to the default orientation when the keyboard slides out... and exception of the new opera...
Package/Application [OEM]
Some applications, such as Opera, handle Rotation internally ... have a look at the .REG/.RGU as well as the .INI file(s). Also verify the OEM .PROVXML's asa some of them include changes to Opera behaviour.
As for other rotation in other applications, G-Sensor (aka Sensor SDK 4.0) provides the abilitiy to configure White/Black list entries. If you look at the G-Sensor 4 package I posted to the OEM Repository (4Shared), you will find a .PROVXML that allows you to quickly define entries for both lists.
The original values for the entries in the .PROVXML are found in the .REG/.RGU file.

That the frustrating part. It does it without being in an app. I can have the phone sitting with nothing running and just showing the tf3d screen..slide out the keyboard and just watch it switch back and forth

Rotation for Phone Canvas and Manila are also definable entries in the White/Black list for G-Sensor 4.
If you're up to it, download the WinMO 6.1.21051 kitchen (and packs) and cook a ROM with the 21051_Test_ERV_Profiles.zip - use the thread paperclip to locate the attachment. It's the ROM profile that I currently use for my device.
The Manila version is 1.2.35845.1_1813.6; Landscape should display and 8 button selection page. If you experience erratic behaviour, it could indicate a hardware related issue.
HTH,
I installed Manilla 2D over Schaps 3.54b ROM for Tytn.
As i loved the skin Shifu made for his cooked Kaiser ROM v 3.0 called "Rock and Republic brown", and as i didn't find this theme anywhere i tried to apply this skin to my Tytn copying from Kaiser all the images beginning with "hh_" plus "HTCHomeSettings.xml", "Wallpaper.jpg", "wallpaperL.jpg" and "HH_0410_WeatherCities.xml" in Tytn's Windows folder and then applying "Rock and Republic Brown.tsk" theme in Today settings.
The result i got is shown in the second picture below. The first one is the correct look the theme actually has on Kaiser.
I'm wondering how i can change color of the purple upper and lower frames to match the original look and how to adjust the background frame of clock in the correct position. Clock also lacks of colon and displays an undesirable flipping every minute change, not enough some text around is missing.
Surely this is not an hard task for a skin guru, anyone can help me understand a little more?
Many thanks to the community.
Anyone can help?
Moved as not theme release....
Really anyone can help?
