All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
1 Attachment(s)
So after flashing a beta ROM sometime back, I was presented with an option in my camera settings that I have since been trying to chase down.
It was the option to save to the Storage Card and be able to use the "Date & Time" as the prefix, which by default is only allowed when you save to the main memory. Now after tons of searching and finding out way more info about the camera than I ever really wanted to know, I've finally found that ONE setting to do the above. Yup, it came down to 1 reg tweak. But more than that, I noticed that though there is a ton of info out about the camera, it's settings and special non-enabled modes... there's really not one good place to go about finding that info. That is what i hope to do here. And that is what this Cab does. First I will post the cab I made that will basically turn on all these special modes for you and fine tune/tweak the settings for these new modes. Second I will post the actual reg entries it makes/changes and what those do. I want to make it very clear that I didn't pioneer most of the work done by this cab, I simply extracted the data from the registry, put it together, and posted the settings it changes in one place. For me, the origins of these settings came from a beta ROM I tested from scrosler... and a provxml he used to build that ROM must have contained these settings. So if these look familiar to you, please let me know and I will give credit where credit is do! Everything that is touched by this cab can be found at: HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera and it's subs. So while this cab is uninstallable, backing this location up before installation is always a safe bet... and with that i will toss in the standard, if you break it, it's not my fault... yada yada yada. ENJOY! (Please see post #2) |
Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
Here I'll be posting all the raw reg entries and what they do.....
EDIT: In the meantime though, i'll post some basics of what the cab does. Adds the following shooting modes: -Burst -Sports -GPS -Video Share -Sets Burst and Sports mode to 3 MegaPixel -Sets Panoramic mode to 7 MegaPixel -Edits Video Frame rate for higher quality. -Removes the use of the of the "DCMI\100MEDIA" directoiry when saving to the Storage Card. -Allows save to "My Documents\My Pictures" on the Storage Card. -Allows for "Default", "Date" & "Date & Time" prefixing of images when saving to the Storage Card. .... and more, just wanted to get a basic description up. I managed to delete my txt file detailing all the settings and description so I'll have to redo it... that took me forever to format it all nicey nice and stuff. Damn! EDIT II: OK, this isn't what I had in mind, but like I said, I accidentally deleted my description file, so for all of you that want to see what's in this cab, this is for you...... until I remake one with all the descriptions anyway. Code:

Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
Is this different modes in the camera like Burst and sport?? If so, this has been covered.

It is... plus more and it's a cab that does it all for you. But could you please give me the link to the post where it was covered? |
Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
It was covered in the Touch Pro essentials...What else does this CAB do?

Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod

Nice that it's all cabbed up though |

Yeah... i just don't really like those apps, like to be a little more in control. But thanks man! EDIT: Plus i dont think any of the tweak apps have the ability to prefix the images with date and time to the storage card... and ultimately that's all i wanted to do. |

Actually, that's already in the cab too! Thanks for the reminder though... will add it to the list in post #2. |
Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
Has anybody else made these changes?
When the Burst and Sport resolutions are changed to 3MP it pretty much makes it unusable. Let me know if this is just me. I had to go back and adjust mine back to 1MP and it works fine now. |

Thanks for the feedback, uber! I do have to say that it does save a bit slower at 3MP... but by no means would I call it unusable. Several factors could be involved here... speed of SD card, running programs other than camera even the ROM you are using. Hope that helps... |

I am using a Class 6 SD there shouldn't be much of an issue. I also tried changing the default save location back to the device with similar results. You are right its not unusable, but the inconvenience of the excessive lag makes it so I would not want to use it for modes with names such as "Sport" or "Burst". Thanks for the feedback though. |
Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
this didn't add the date and time to my file name. It did change the location to My Pictures though.

Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
thanks! the lack of date/time issue was the most annoying of all the camera annoyances for me.

Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
how about a start camera with flash on (default) setting??
|
Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
after installing the cab file on the sprint touch pro, no pictures will save to my storage card. If i switch to main memory, then it'll save. My storage card does not have a "my documents" folder and pocket explorer will not grant access to create a new my documents folder in the storage card. what's the registry change to allow the DCIM folder again?

Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
correction to my previous post - the falsh being on the whole time before you take the picture is the most annoying. the lack of those other options that have been fixed came in a close second.
me: let me take a picture of you all... *turns on flash* group: you're blinding me! me: i'm sorry! make it good so we don't have to retake this! |

Glad you like it man. Quote:
love the color commentary! and i totally know what you're saying... I very rarely use the flash at all simply for the "blinding" factor. Nothing in the reg settings is jumping right out at me however on changing this... but i will dig a bit deeper, and get back to ya on it. Thanks for the feedback! |

That should actually be pretty easy... I'll look into it for you. I don't think I'll add it to this cab as I'm not a super huge flash fan... but i can certainly make you patch if i find the setting for you. I'll look, and post back. |

Dont have the sprint diamond with built in storage, sorry. Did twilk's suggestion help you out? it seems reasonable. |

And if someone could figure out how to make the flash only flash when you snap the picture that would be awesome too. |
Re: All-In-One Touch Pro Camera Hidden Mode Mod
sounds good will give it a try!

OK... this assumes you are comfortable in the reg, if so, try this: On your storage card if it doesn't already exist, create: My Documents\My Pictures In the reg change the value (DWORD Data) of: HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General "EnableDCMI" from "1" to "0" Now when you start the camera: tap the screen -> tap the cog wheel -> tap advanced on page 2 make sure "Storage" is set to "Storage Card" on page 4 make sure "Prefix" is set to "Date & Time" You may need to soft reset after the reg change... and as always PLEASE be sure to BACKUP your reg BEFORE you mod it! Let me know. |

That one works for me too, phattooth. Thanks. I'm slow to put anything that's irreversible on my TP but I wanted that particular fix. And NM, good luck on 6/6! |

You are most welcome! That's actually the only one I was looking for when I ended up opening the can of worms that became all the other mods in the above cab! HA, Amazing what we find when we start pokin around abit! ;-) BTW, the cab in this thread is nothing more than a bunch of reg edits... so if you back up your reg ahead of time, you can totally uninstall the cab and re-import your backed up reg settings... tada, back to stock! Having said that, I'm totally the same way about blindly installing cabs... I usually just don't! But that's also why I posted the guts of the changes in the code box above. Anyway... just an FYI to future readers more than anything. |

Hey... You didn't happen to figure out how to make the flash only go off when taking the picture did you??
