Camera Hack - MDA Compact II General

As I know, in the Registry
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Medium
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Small
I am able to change the factory FrameRate value from 10 to 19...
This is good news
Well, the Medium size is 176x144 pixel and Small size is 128x96 pixel by default.
But!
There is another Key :
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Large, but I am not able to select Large option in the Camera Settings page, just only Small and Medium.
What shell I have to change in the Registry to make Large videosize available in the Camera Settings page ?
(And what dimension should I use by selecting Large ? 320x240 ?)

You can not. there is no 320X240 in Charmer's Video Camera application.
But you can use "CoolCamera" for even 640X480 in video mode.

Hi max414,
Pls don't make me reveal too much secrets ;-)
VGSMail is an imap e-mail client, so I receive my e-mail immediately on my magician when it arrives on the mailserver.
VJstuff well like Carty says: test some & keep some. I use them for one handed op. So VJOkButt for really closing app & VJKeyPress to simulate the StartMenu button, both assigned to a hardware button by AEButtonPlus.
Registry hacks? Well I patched it to have Camera, Album, Intellipad, MidletManager & many dll's in \Storage\Windows instead of \Windows which saves me well > 4MB RAM. & I use some of these patches, which I collected since June 2005 on the board I didn't invented them.
I ran across some extra registry tweaks at Aximsite for the X51v which seems to have improved performance on my BA. The extra reg settings are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=0x1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Flags=40
The first two registry entries are already included in the wm5 fixes cab by mamaich but with a diferent value for the cache. I have been using the 4096 cache value myself already. I also tried the extra settings in bold and found it gave another boost to the PPC speed. Here is the original thread http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=104366&page=1&pp=20 Anyone else like to try and post feedback on their results? If confirmed maybe it can be added to the wm5 cab file.
Edit: Can anyone try setting this reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=2048 instead of 4096 as above. For me it seems to work slightly better.
I also tried changing these two entries for PIE, unfortunately PIE runs so slow i cant tell if it has any positive effect

HTC Camera Burst Mode Hack

I found a hack, to change number of photos taken in burst mode.
Create new key in registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Image
New DWORD Key:
DefBurstMaxCount
And set value to:
60
(60 - in DEC)
Might be other value than 60 (Program default is 30). I even tried with 512 and it worked well.
Cheers!
Burst mode, what does it really do?
Is it usable on Universal?
Yes, this mode is usable in Universal
In burst mode you can take photos continuously.... such as slide show
HTC Burst mode
I would love to be able to get my Topaz to make time lapse photos, but none of the java apps seem to work for me. The Burst mode is almost exactly what I need, but I can't get the DefBurstMaxCount to go above 32, it just crashes after that.
Does anyone know the secret for taking a very large number of Burst photos?
Thanks
Ben
Will try it out. Sounds inteesting . Thanks for sharing...
Burst mode is awesome! Its set to 30 and this is a great hack. Thanks I am going to give it a try.

Hi,
I have changed the registry settings, so i have the options for burst, sports mode etc, but none of them works.
Could someone help?
Burst mode sais accesss to file denied, sports mode simply doesn't take pics.
Interesting in the top right corner it shows thousands of more photos can be stored on the card.
Is this in connection with resolution.
Does the burst mode take 5mp pics?
Thanks a LOT.
I think it's related to resolution. I use HD Tweak on my HTC Touch HD and this application enbales the hidden camera modes: burst and sports. The default setting for this modes is 1 mp and highest is 3 mp. I can't take pictures with a higher resolution on these modes

Didn't have luck either with burst mode and sports but i found a cab file somewhere (can't remember where) that activates Picture Theme mode and it's working perfectly.
These keys all work on my diamond

EDIT
I have tried this and can find no improvement whatsoever. As kkchan stated below, all I notice is the picture has become darker due to the decrease in brightness level. I have even tried this at -1.0, but still no improvement
Hi,

I did it myself on a Touch HD and went from +2 and changed it to -2 and it was a world of difference. At +2 any movement was a blur and at -2 I could move the camera and still get a clean shot

In extreme light situtations (a bright day) there's almost no difference in speed but the HD never had a problem in very high light. The real impact is in moderate to low light. So far there are 2 comments at FuzeMobility both stating that it works effectively and I tested it last night on the HD and took an unusable camera and had something that could take a photo. Did you guys enable the FPS info to see if there was a change?

I had already tried tweaking a number of settings for both the camera & video to get a better pic. This may have had some effect on these new settings. I will play around with it and see what I come up with

What settings if you don't mind? I'm always up for more tweaking I know about decreasing the delay times:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/ and set CaptureTimer = 0 and EnableCapKeyDelay = 0 and CapKeyDelayTime = 0
and changing the panaramic photo size...I hope you have a few more though

Basically I read through a lot of threads regarding enhancing camera and have changed numerous things including those mentioned by yourself, some I can't remember to be honest and those mentioned in the wiki listed below. Also using HD Tweak etc
Increase Quality of Photos
To increase the quality of photos, open the Camera, go to Settings, Advanced, then Image Properties. Increase Contrast to 5, Saturation to 5, and Sharpness to 4. Now you will have better definition and much more realistic colours. Also don't forget to choose Super Fine under Quality in Advanced Settings menu.
Reduce Blurriness in Photos
To focus better, have shutter set just to Touch. After you have touched you have the whole three seconds to steady your hand and take a non-blurry photo.
Activate Hidden Photo Modes
You can activate hidden photo modes using the 'HD Tweak' app. Make sure to leave the resolutions for these modes at 1 megapixel though or they may not work properly. For for the more advanced users, use the following reg entries:
To enable Burst mode
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P6
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Sports mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P8
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Video Share mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable GPS Photo mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" on "1"
Get True 5 Mega pixel Resolution When Using Camera
To get 5MP instead of 4MP resolution when using your camera, you must switch off Widescreen mode in the 'Advanced' Menu.
Normal screen = 2592 x 1944 pixels = 5,038,848 pixels = 5MP
Widescreen = 2592 x 1552 pixels = 4,022,784 pixels = 4MP
Get Better Video Quality When Using Camera
Use MPEG format instead of H.263 for better quality video output. This option can be found by going to the Advanced Setting from the Video Settings menu. Once there, go to Capture Format and change format if necessary.
If I can think of any more I'll let you know.

Note there is no http:// proceeding the link.
2. Click on Adaptive Zoom and try the following settings:
Browser Buffer Height = 4096
Browser Buffer Width = 800
Maximum Zoom = 100
Minimum Overview Zoom = 100
Minimum Zoom = 100
Virtual Screen Width = 800
Zoom Slider Maxinmum = 200
This should set your screen up so it no long needs to zoom to click a link but also makes the virtual page width the same size as the screen in landscape mode.

Hi,
thanks for the Tip ... but,
In 9.7b1 I can't find:
- Maximum Zoom
- Maximum Overview Zoom
- Minimum Zoom
- Zoom Slider Maximum
in 9.5 they exist but not in 9.7
not sure if it's something i've done, but after making those changes i can't launch Opera any more!!
I get the htc loading page for about about 20 seconds and then it just closes - anyone else had this problem or know how to solve?

It also makes the text tiny.
Does anyone have the original settings please, stupidly I did not note them down.

In Opera 9.5 i have the following settings which allow me to open links without zooming. Min overview zoom is the only changed variable.
Browser Buffer Height = 1400
Browser Buffer Width = 960
Maximum Zoom = 200
Minimum Overview Zoom = 85
Minimum Zoom = 160
Virtual Screen Width = 960
Zoom Slider Maxinmum = 500
So will altering these settings change the width of text elements and reduce the amount of zoom? I'm running this on an HX4700 with a 4.0" screen (I know, I'm getting my touch HD in less than 30 hours). When the zoom action happens, it automatically zooms to the width of the column element (ingenious) so I can scroll throught he column without side scrolling. However the width of the elements are too narrow and as such causes the zoom to be too high. I'd like to use the 4" display and VGA rez to read smaller but more amount of text.
I've no idea mate sorry. I just copies and writes up what i sees

Get a hold of opera.ini >>windows>opera9
edit the file, the first few lines are the ones you will need to change.
Just copied this from mine..
[Adaptive Zoom]
Minimum Zoom=160
Minimum Overview Zoom=70
Browser Buffer Height=1400
Browser Buffer Width=960
Maximum Zoom=200
Virtual Screen Width=960
Zoom Slider Maximum=500
after changing back, having had the same problem you did...
Good Luck

Just note that with this tweak you will lose the ability to trigger mouseover action for links.

I could only imagine it being in the one of the following
\Windows
\Windows\Opera
Possible \Application Data but unlikely I think.
I'm running the standard 6.1 HTC original ROM.
Forget all that. Everything is running. It didn't go as smooth and understandable as I might have hoped, but it works now. Thanks!

Opera: What is your "Zoom Slider Maximum" Set to?

I lost the default value for opers 9.7 Zoom Slider Maximum. Can someone tell me what it is?
It can be found under
HKLM > software > opera > pref > adaptive zoom.
The reason I am looking for this is because when ever I double tap to zoom in on a picture, the pictures get really pixellated. This means that I am going past the actually size of the picture's resolution.
Thank you.
rebump. 24 hr.
hklm/software/opera/prefs/adaptive zoom
Default Zoom - 175
Virtual Scr Width - 800
Zoom Max - 500
