Any way to port G2x's camera app into Sensation?

G2x has manual focus but sensation doesn't.
any chance to get that function in sensation ???

Lets take step one first before any talk about ports.

When you tap the screen the camera manually focuses. Is this not what you want?

I'm talking about the manual focus use the slide bar to control... Not the touch focus ..It's more accurate than touch if I need to do some micro adjust

If you had to ask this I wouldnt suggest you do any rooting and you go do some more reading in the forum. no offense meant.

yes i think i do ...y?

i got S-off and rooted... what now???

isn't like too early to port over something ? whereby roms and kernel havent been develop yet? i guess is a step by step process? unless you port the camera yourself and put it in the development area? just kidding ... who knows someone or some developer may port it over to the sensation ... cheers....
(the s-off that is being achieved by alpharevx and revolutionary is still in beta stages?)

is it possible right now???

[Q] Hearing a click when exiting camera

Try this: open camera, take a picture, and when pressing the back button to exit the camera put your ear close to the phone and can you hear a little "click"? I can hear it from my device, and as much as I can tell, it's mechanical, not from the system or any software.
This doesn't make sense unless there are moving parts associated with the camera hardware.

yes....i can hear it... and it was there in my DHD too... something related to camera lens hardware.....i feel so

I heard it in my previous phone too (SE Vivaz, piece of ****, but the camera was awesome! (Also 8 MP)) It's something with the camera hardware (probably)

No prob we all get paranoid with new devices

Have you never used a non-mobilephone camera in your life? It's simply the camera adjusting focus, or rather resetting it when you close the app. Older phones can't do this, the Sensation can. There is effectively a mechanical movement.

It happened to my Dell streak too. It 's not a problem I think.

[Q] Sense 4 Camera port

Sorry to get anyone's hopes up with the title but I'm wondering if anyone has thought about or is in the process of porting the sense 4 camera to a sense 3.5/3.6 Rom or is it the same camera?

Why don't you flash a sense 4 rom to find out ?

I'm working on an oilrig for another week so I don't have a good enough internet connection to download and flash a Rom just to test the camera.
I've seen some photos on the internet of the HTC one X and the camera seems different but I can't be 100% sure.... So thought I'd ask here.

The one x has a dedicated chip for photos processing... Which is absent on the sensation

thats all I would want in the port is ordinary camera features... because the camera capture speed is much faster than the sense 3.6 features
hold on let me test out the other features
Edit: Only features that work are HDR (Sun mode), Video Capture, Original Snapshot (and its really fast... almost back to back photos with auto focus working). If someone could simply modify the camera and remove some features it would be just fine... I'm sure its not impossible to get some of these other features working... only thing I can see not working is Photo Capture during video capture and some effects.

and what about sense 4 clock? i really love it and i would like to have it on sense 3.6

Replace Sensation camera?

Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.

Is sending it in for repairs an option?

Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.

My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

right i wish i didnt root this thing the day i got it so i could remember how stock camera was!

I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.

Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.
