Any Mogul camera hacks?

I have searched everywhere and can't find nothing of any kind of worth hacks for the mogul. My main complaint is we need to figure out how to bring up the resolution. the 6700 had a way better camera. Its like the mogul took a step backwards. Like a downgrade. Im praying Ateksoft releases a coolcamera for it since that worked great on the ppc 6700

Ohhhh wow! this should be a sticky! Just what I was looking for! Out the box the camera is crippled. This fixes the camera problem. Now.. all we need now is to make this record in 640 by 480. Then we would be up to 6700 specs.

Consider this a bump, as well as a request to make this a sticky (or at least insert into the helpful posts up top somewhere).

Oh, are you referring only to video recording?
Because the still camera on this baby is actually pretty sweet... the color is pretty rich, and the resolution at 2mpix is far better than the 6700...
If you spend a second or two to properly adjust your lighting and white balance, it takes some very decent pictures:

These are both unaltered copied directly from the phone (only reduced in size to fit on the screen). I lost my digital camera for a week, and this actually doubled as the family camera for a bit.
Yeah, a real digicam is worlds better quality, but these are totally printable, as opposed to previous HTC phone cams which were mostly just novelty.

Yes.... the camera needs tweaking to make the colors good. I tweaked mines like this and it takes killer pictures. Take the camera out of Auto and set it to the little crecent moon. Then in thi middle you have that brightness setting that looks like little bars in the middle, by defaoult its set to 0. I set it to -2. The have a steady hand and shoot. Then your picture will look excellent.
