im looking to disable the cam on my htc chacha.. i have already modified my phone so that the back cam is covered but now the front facing cam is still working.. i want an app to disable the camera for security reasons.. there is one app for ICS but none for gingerbread.. can anyone help??
What security reasons would you have for disabling the camera?
Get a permanent black marker and colour the lens black!
Or a sticker.

i have to go into secure location every so often... they do not allow camera phones. i would rather have an app that disables the phone.. co they do stringent checks
Why, u want to disable that? I just use the newert rom from CM7, but the front camera is not useful in this rom, I want use the front camera. Maybe u can use the CM7 rom to soluve your problem.

care to explain what u mean. I want to disable both cameras..
But you flash the rom, and install the app you're already using, so none works! Am i right?

Seriously why not a sticker on the lense?

they will check and peel it off
Nail polish?!
Why not freeze the camera app with titanium backup.
Defrost it when you need it.
get a nokia 3310 - your troubles will be over

I really dislike sense but the camera software is much better looking than the asop camera. I know someone did it on cm5. And enthomer was able to make it work on froyo. So would anyone be interested in giving it a shot for gingerbread?

Try MIUICamera .......its a closer Sense Camera alternative...
Just pull the apk from an miui rom and install?

I would love a way to port the HTC camera to cm7 and, more to my preference, MIUI. Not sure how feasibile it is because I thought the application is tied into the framework of sense.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
the miui camera is a good alternative, just install this zip or push the apk inside the zip to system/app
That miui camera is a good alternative. Thanks for the tip.

nvmd I got it the bad thing is that it doesn't have the ffc option
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
what is FFC option? Been looking for the HTC sense camera myself over the CM7 cam. Pongsters GBX camera is decent though. Ah nvm, I guess the GBX camera is this MIUI camera. Only feature its missing for me is the ability to preview the picture after taking it until you tap, and allowing you to delete it right away.

Dear guys ...
sorry to pick up this thread again ... but, is there still no way to get the htc camera working on CM7?
No dear, till not no any such thing available for now....
Any Idea´s why it´s not working? ... what did HTC do with the APK, is the camera using diffrent drivers or so`?
One thing missing in the MIUI camera is the panoramic feature. I wish they add that option soon.

it require a sense framework. cm7 is aosp rom.
When working with the camera, sometimes the autofocus seems fickle and does not get the focus good. Is there any way I can do manual focus? Do I need another app for that?
Thanks

Yes just touch the screen when you are in the camera app. A small white box will appear and you can manually focus.

So long as he's using the stock Camera app!
No...he wants to set the focus distance by putting values like 5 cm, 6 cm or so...
This feature is mostly found in LG's cam appz

I can confirm that... I'm on Endymion currently and i see the purple line too... approx 3-4 pixels thick.
But to be fair to instagram, they do warn when selecting the advanced camera that it does not work on all devices...
Use Camera360 with Compatibility mode.

??? Why not just use the built in stock camera???
He wants to use instagram... And only has problem with the advanced camera inside of instagram. Just disable that option and you're good to go if your stock camera is OK. No sense using a third party camera of the problem is app specific.

The problem is with camera drivers from cm or the kernel.
The stock camera app has same problem.
That's why I use camera360 which have hardware compatibility mode.

Oh ok...
Just wondering... are you talking about an ICS ROM? Or GB? I think the OP has lost interest after starting the thread, and left us here to squabble!!
If you ask me, i think this problem is app centred, and I encountered it even on Instagram running on GB 2.3.5 (I'm running Endymion - Sense 3.5) where the stock camera is the best you'll find for the Desire S on any ROM.
I'm using stock ROM. Obviously I'm aware I can disable the option of using Instagram's in-built camera, but this is not the solution I'm hoping for I love Instagram filters but I don't like the fact I have to come out of the app and open up stock Android cam app, resize it, and go back again. Using Instagram's advanced am feature is so much better.
The rest of the image is fine and the option works perfectly APART from this one really ruining fluorescent pink line down the left side of every image.

Well, that's a bug with the app... sit tight, with Instagram's growing popularity, they're bound to roll out updates with fixes to the camera anytime soon!
Regardless, there's nothing you or I could do to fix an app issue. Instagram will have to fix that.
When you still experiencing this using Instagram camera try to switch to front camera take a shot, then revert to back camera. Pink line gone now. Works for me.

CM9 already has 8MP enabled, look under the settings menu in the camera app. what youre probably referring to is the UI, which makes the picture look smaller when taking pics/videos but in reality theyre the regular size. I, however, dont use CM9 camera app as it sucks. use UCam from the play store, great camera alternative

I saw it. maybe do a fresh install of the rom after clearing everything except SD, then install the app again to see if the problem still happens. if so, try another rom and then check again
just an idea

I've been using Vignette for quite awhile now and love it. Its got lots of filters and always takes great pictures and is easy to use.

4.2 android camera for me, the photosphere is really cool
Right now I'm using snap and it's fantastic, I like the way the configuration works, it's very fast. I bought camera zoom fx some months ago but I've never really used it. It's a good app though, lots of options and filters, but I guess it's just too complex for me.

I use "Camera ICS" found on the Google Market for any ROM i have without any camera app included. It's just like ICS's camera app and it works great
