Hey guys, so with CyanogenMod right around the corner, I was wondering if there was a way to replace the stock camera with the HTC camera/camcorder. (That is the only thing in my opinion that sense has over CyanogenMod)
The HTC camera has many more options to edit the quality and effects of the video and pictures I like to take.

I remember back in the original Hero ROM days from G1 we had ported the HTC camera & HTC music player to stock builds with the HTC libraries. Is there a port of the Desire camera with touch-focus & face recognition for CM & stock builds for Nexus? Also the music player. I love Sense, but I need bluetooth which doesn't work right for me in MoDaCo's Desire ROM, plus I want highmem back.
Any ideas? Anyone tried it?
+1 I don't care much for sense ui but would love to have some of the apps. Particularly the camera.
Hello.
First of all, my compliments to everone that makes great things like custom roms, mods, and so.
I'd like to know if is there a way to mod/improve/change the camera app, so the shutter speed can be set.
Thanks.
Hello again. It seems this thread gained some interest, but no one could give an answer. What I asked was if is there any way to hack, develop, activate improved settings for htc chacha camera.
Videos are saved in 3gp format. Is there any way to make camera app to save them as mp4?
Pictures get blurry if the subject moves quickly, or you are not steady when shooting. Is there any way to set the shutter speed?
I don't know if the camera app can be disassembled or something, and hacked into make that things.
Maybe the camera app can be ported from another model that uses the same camera model, and can do that.
I asked HTC about this, and they answered "latest 2.3.5 version has many improvements", but none about the camera...
The camera is way better than Wildfire, which my wife owns, but I think it can be even better if the camera app is up to it.
Thanks for reading.
The big question revolving around this issue is if the cameras themselves are the same between the phones. It's not only the camera.apk that's connecting them, it's the hardware as well. Yes, there could be a possibility that the cameras are the same, between ChaCha and Wildfire (for example), but at the same time the proc or image sensor might be of a newer generation. Unfortunately I have no hardware specs on this, if anyone knows it would be nice to know.
Question: Do you know of any phone that has advanced settings inside the Camera.apk that allows you to set shutter speed? Would be interesting to compare them a bit.
In the camera.parameters public class there is a setting called scene_mode_sports that seems to be the only way to set a faster shutter speed.
I can't see it in my HTC Chacha/Status, and even lgcamera hasn't that option in the menu.
There is a profile.xml file that sets the limitations of the camera, but it seems people hack it to allow the camera to record movies in higher resolutions, because many times the limitations are imposed by the manufacturer and not the hardware.
Also, hacking the firmware and/or the drivers of a camera would allow to gain the full features of it.
This reminds me of people that upgraded the Nokia N900 to allow it to record movies in 720p, just by replacing binary files in the phone.
Is there an app that tells you what exactly hardware your phone has, and such drivers or modules it uses?
Thanks all.
Hello all.
I'm reviving this with some news. The camera module the ChaCha uses is a Samsung s5k4e1gx (http://www.samsung.com/global/busin...t/cmos-imaging/detail?productId=5622&iaId=220), the same found in several other HTC models: HTC Desire Z, HTC Mini and others.
It seems that in the Desire Z this camera is able to record 720p video.
I think this is determined by the firmware loaded for the camera, and the app itself.
I'd like to know if it's possible to port change the original ChaCha camera related modules and firmware from the Desire Z ones, so the camera can get taht 720p video shooting.
Also, I'm searching for a way to disable the auto light metering so a manual can be set. There are many 'better camera' apps in the market but they all seem to improve the original camera app itself, instead of getting the most of the actual camera sensor.
Thanks all.
do it have differnce between Sense rom camera and CM9 Camera? (for example: quality)
On OpenSensation you have the option of using the sense resolution. There may be some "quality tweaks" on the sense camera, but from my experience the CM9 camera works great.
When you go into camera on OpenSensation you have the option of 8MP 16:9 or a couple others. the only real difference is there are more tweaks on Sense and the interface for the CM9 camera is more space consuming.
sorry for realive this, but this is the only reason i keep sense on my phone, to laggy. is there another difference? for example with cmx aokp touchcream?
No matter what camera app I downloaded I couldn't get good pictures out my original Motorola Droid. But the same apps gave great results on HTC Incredible S.
Clearly its a matter of which phone with how good a sensor.
What top 3 Camera Apps do you think really change your opinion of your Phone camera
My List :
1. HTC Sense 3.5 camera (Custom ROM by NIK :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312021 for HTC Incredible S - Ironically my first choice is an in-built app and not from Google Play Store)
2. Camera Zoom fx
3. Instagram
Camera 360 is pretty nice in my opinion.
1)Camera 360
2) Instagram
3) Camera zoom FX
CAMERA ZOOM FX is really great!
Camera zoom is one...

Click to collapse
Camera Zoom FX is a great choice
I also use HDR Camera for HDR shots or Camera360 as it offers lots of options as well
the best for me are both Instagram and HDR Camera+
Has anyone tried 'Camera ICS ' ? Lots of people on the forums mentioned this. It worked great for a while but then started force closing on my HTC Incredible S.
This app, when it was working, was definitely faster in focussing than the stock cam.
i think that camera zoom fx is the best app on play.
but cyanogenmod app je really great too.
Hi! I recently installed a custom rom in my HTC One M7 and i want to have slow motion video, and i saw that the google camera app supports slow-mo on nexus 5x and 6p, and i want to ank if it is possible to enable this feature touching something in the app's code.
I have already tested a lot of ports of htc camera and none of this works with slow-mo...
Or if it isn't possible, what libraries should i port in order to make slow-mo working with the htc camera on a custom rom.
