New hotfix - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development

This update for HTC HD2 further extends support of the SD Storage Capability. Taking pictures with your 5 Megapixel lens and dual LED flash can only truly be appreciated at the maximum quality, and now with this update, you will be able to appreciate how much more you can store in your 8GB or more SD Card.

the quality of the picture i mostly made by lens chipset and software youre using so reducing the size to 3mp you can make more pictures

Best Rom For Video Recording?

I am currently using cyanogen 6.1 r1 and the video camera quality has improved a bit (except the sound) but when I record a video, the video skips so much it is unwatchable. Does anyone know any current rom or fix that could make the evo video camera actually usable? Other than stock (which I think does it too). I wouldn't want to switch because cyanogen is basically all I need but if it means having a crap video camera than I'd rather switch.
I bet your using a class2 SD card aren't you?
speaking about that

do you know if this buyer is legit? No feedback says anything about it being actually a 32gb but amazon is also selling them. Also do you think my problem would stop if I buy it?
I actually need a new 32gb so where can I find the lowest price for a higher class 32gb?

Video at 720p ???

I have taken 3 videos of duration between 1 to 3 minutes. I kept the setting at 720p recording in my DHD stock Rom. The thing i realized after transfering them to my laptop is that all 3 videos have a very minute pause of recording in between. It occurs like 3-4 times in a video of 1.30 minute. Are you people facing this problem? I checked my memory card of 8GB is still 30% free and there are not more apps running in background.
Is there any solution to get smooth video recordings or is it a bug in DHD ?
Normally your SD card need formatting

Not exactly sure what you mean...
But there is an issue with 1.32, where video randomly skips a few seconds, which was supposed to be fixed in 1.72 firmware.
I did see suggestions about reformating for SD card or using a task killer before you shoot. Check if you're still on 1.32.
I don't have much experience as I didn't do much recording before updating to 1.72. Your best bet is to install a custom ROM if you don't have a update avalible yet. Or wait for the gingerbread update, which should be coming in a few weeks, sound and video recording is improved alot in gingerbread.
If you are talking about software number,it is 1.83 .
I dont know where exactly i can find the firmware no.
I got this s/w no in settings>about phone>software information.
Is it the correct place to look for the firmware?
About formatting my memory card, is there any software to backup and restore the image of memory card?

Yes, the video randomly skips a few seconds.... thats the true explanation. My brother took the same video with his experia ACE, and the video quality was better than DHD. There was much light and the video was brighter as well, compared with my DHD's video.

Yes you're looking at the right place.
You don't need any backup software, just copy everything for the SD card to a folder on your PC, format it, and copy back, easy .
Note that HTC phones aren't exactly known for their cameras. And it's not a suprise that the video on the SE may be higher quality.
There is a great thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875230&highlight=camera+guide
that explains the DHD camera and fixes alot of the issues. It's worth a read.
The main point is to set sharpness to -2 (helps the quality), and adjust the exposure if video lags (low light).
If you were recording outside, maybe setting the exposure higher might help brightness (The problems is that setting too high will resoult in lag if there is not enough light availible.
Funny enough, I tried recording a video now and saw skipping (with 1.82). Exiting the Camera app and using a task killer to kill everything running in the background solved the issue. Search the android market for a "task killer" and download it, and use it before recording.
I hope that will solve your issue.

I just put in a Brand New,unused 1 GB memory card, and took a video. I realized that the Video was normal, and there was no skipping, so now i plan to FORMAT my 8GB memory card and then going to take a video and post the result here.

[Q] Atrix Camera Quality

I'm not trying to sound stupid but is there not a way to "up" the camera on the Atrix to an 8MP or so? The reason I even asked is that I am just joining you "elite" group of Atrix owners by stepping up from an XT711. Now before I get too flamed, the XT is really a great handset, or could have been if it hadn't been abandoned by Motorola. I have an XT711 with a xenon flash and 8mp camera that takes OUTSTANDING photos and beautiful HD video, I also bought my wife its little brother, the XT701 that has a 5mp camera. After doing alot of searching, I found a Chinese web site that had a flash file that I used to flash her phone and change her camera to 8mp also, and it worked beautifully! Her camera went from good pictures to great pictures and it was just a simple flash file. Now that my wife and I are both upgrading to the Atrix because of no future support, I am just wondering if this method could be used for the Atrix as well or if anyone has thought about or tried it. I dont know how they changed it in the file, and if I wasn't such a rookie, I would look in it and see cause I still have the zip file, but I wouldn't even know what I was looking at if I opened it. I am sure the camera should be similar to the "X" phone with its 8mp, and from the looks of it, it might actually be the same camera as the newly China released XT882, which is almost the same as the Atrix (actually maybe better with its dual sims) but its camera is sitting at 8mp, not 5mp. Well since I am just a noob, I figured I would at least ask if it had been thought of or tried because I know from my XT phones that those 3 little megapixels can make a very nice difference in your pictures and alot of people including myself would love to have it. Why couldn't it work if the camera was capable? Just curious and hopeful. Thanks in advance!
I can tell you that the difference between 5MP and 8MP is not important, especially on a camera phone that is not designed to print large resolution images in the first place.
You can't increase the megapixels by flashing software onto a phone. Most likely the update adjusted the white balance, aperture, focus, and color contrasts to make the image more appealing. The iPhone has already proven that a lower MP camera can easily beat-out a higher MP if the software and lens is good enough.
I don't know of any current projects related to the Atrix 4G camera software. However, there many camera apps that offer filters and other software related changes to your photos. I suggest checking all of the modes the Atrix 4G offers and then see if any of the 3rd party apps add additional features.
Are you sure that the software cannot be limiting the camera to 5mp? I only ask because I don't know, not because I don't believe. I just read the site where the XT701 upgrade is and it says the software is limiting the camera. I just thought possibly the Atrix could be as well. Here is the translated page:
http://translate.google.com/transla...0/08/08/update_xt701_carema_to_8mpix/&act=url
Well it was at least worth asking. Hopefully with the new GB update coming up, the camera will become more like what I am used to. Thanks!

Well it's a mid range phone therefore slow shutter speed is normal. If you really want to increase shutter speed download sokoban's rom. In that rom camera has a pro mod so you can adjust any this from shutter speed to ISO and manual focus etc.
