Better Camera Mod! (On Front page of XDA!) - HTC Amaze 4G

Flashable Mod that does this:
Uncapped JPEG File size. Great photo quality.
Uncapped Video, recording 40MBPS.
Beta ISO 1250
It's on the front page of XDA, says it works with all Sense 3.6 ROMs.
Tried it, Works The new interface is pretty cool, and pictures do seem to come out a lot better.
We have a pretty good lens + sensor, and I think the software is the bottleneck for the amaze. Hopefully this will help our pics look a lot better!
Instructions:
Download file, Flash it in your recovery, I wiped dalvik cache just to be on the safe side, and fix permissions.
Works ez with 4ext (BEST RECOVERY KNOWN TO MANKIND SHOUT OUT TO MAX AND GLACIER GUY WOOOO)

If not go in your recovery somewhere in the advanced or other menu it will be there
Or search fix permissions in play store

i know how to do it from root explorer but I was wondering which file to do it on and what permission to set?....
anyhow, I flashed and it worked without fixing permission. thanks op

Will this work with the modified ROMs (which i believe are still technically still sense 3.6) ? If so, do we then have to use the stock camera?

lolz at Capt. Picard I about fell outta my chair.

Yes ahould work as long as the sense frame work is in place. worse comes to worst, restore your device from the back up you made earlier
And to fix permissions if you don't know how to do it do yourself a favor and download 4ext. Completely noob proof Even I know gow to use it

Lol its the only thing I dislike...
I'm not the biggest fan of this. Stock was perfect imo... Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a deal breaker and I'm still running CRCE, but I miss the stock ui.
I also thought my pics turned out better with stock.

with whatever NRG did in his GB ROM my pics turned out.. amazing! the pics were like 6mb each file and when i shopped it, it turned out around 10mb lol. with this mod i get around 3mb files, still better than about 1mb with stock. i can barely notice a difference unless i zoom in, still a difference though (for me at least)

Tried it on SpeedRom with 4ext and it works. I am seeing an option for ISO 1250, so I am guessing it did get updated. The interface looks the same since EclipzeRemix swapped the TMo Camera for HTC Camera in his rom, but I don't know if I had the ISO 1250 option previously. By the way, this rom is probably the most AOSPised, with almost all Sense element removed, so I am sure the camera should work with all the new roms that have come out since ICS dropped .
Pics come out looking almost the same for me, with very apparent bleeding on one side whenever the flash is on. Finally got done with finals, will have to check if the electrical tape hack helps with the bleeding.

Okay here's the deal. Using Energy ICS... The file flashes but doesn't do anything.
All I had to do was extract the zip and move the two apks to the system/app folder manually, then set permissions of course. Worked fine =)
Definitely (even) better than the stock camera. The focus seems to cooperate even better than it did before =). And the interface is seriously legit. I love it.
Glacier - here are the stock files. Just move them to system/app and set permissions normally. =)

Running Energy rom. Flashed it, camera works great...too bad no option to change the bitrate for recording. Also, any apps that used data connection could not receive data i.e facebook, gmail, games, all sync. Opera and the stock browser works.

The manufacturer really doesn't tell you wether its good or bad ,if your rooted u can check in fast boot, also check out the thread, plenty of people have exchanged their phones because of this issue. I was lucky and had the good display out of box.

oh ok. yeah i hate rooting this phone. its the worst phone i have ever owned to root. its a pain to get it back to stock so i can receive ota updates. the vibrant was way easy to root and unroot vs this phone lol. so im gonna keep it stock. it would be nice if someone would make an app in the market that we can download and see what screens we got. but my phone doesnt look washed out when i selected the same theme as they did in the video. mine looked more black then faded. but im not gonna complain the screen is good enough for me. i love this phone and im glad i got rid of that crappy vibrant.
Hey can u take a picture of the lock screen with the safari wallpaper, you have to take the picture at the same angle as the pictures on your first post and with brightness at max,I can then tell u which display u have, believe me their is a huge difference between the displays. This is a great phone and I would like the best out of it considering I payed retail .

Two things I've noticed right off the bat.
1. My wifi keeps dropping every once in a while(had a similar problem with another rom using a 2.3.6 leak)
2. Home button has a little lag.
edit: Searched Android 2.3.6 wifi problems and I got a ton of results with people saying the same thing.
edit: flashing to something else for now. Sorry OP. Everything else looked pretty good too.
Hmmmmmm, seems ics doesn't look as nice as it should, or is it just me? Really ugly dialer setup and mms apk...what's up with neon blue being in...

Preview1 posted for ICS now

@preludedrew posted it in his twitter feed.
runs VERY smooth for what it is but obviously some non functional items.
so far I have found and reported:
-No wifi
-no Bluetooth
-shows low battery led AND charging at same time when plugged in, battery shows discharging in system
-no data
-live walls don't load
-gallery only shows '100MEDIA'
I didn't try a call as I have no one to call at 145am lol. Currently nanding back to Viper.
Not responsible if you screw up your phone btw, just passing along some tasty ICS info. I personally had no issue dl'ing or installing.
****FOR THOSE THAT DON'T FOLLOW HIM BUT FIND THE DL LINK****
He stated the install says droid incredible 2 but this was him just not retyping it to evo 3d. I can verify this to be true 'Evervolv-Neco-2.1.0p1-shooter.zip' is the correct zip and for cdma.
Thanks for the info
Now I just need to add him to my twitter feed!
Stuff I've noticed:
WORKING:
* Calls (Though volume's a little low in calls)
* System is very near full speed
NOT WORKING:
* Camera
* Mobile data (3G)
* other stuff noted above
Great info, thank you! We should see the HTC build finished in January....I may actually hold off for that
I don't have a Twitter account. Can someone please post a link to the page or download?

First off I tried this last night and I am impressed for such an early beta slash preview whatever the such you want to call it. But you guys really need to get a twitter account, its free and all this Dev is asking for is feed back to better this ROM.

xboarders sense 3.5 video

Just made this earlier today cause i was bored. just made this for the people curious of how stable and fluid it is, my camera ran out of memory in the middle but oh well. and sorry for the shakey video, my tripod broke.
everything works perfect though, just get 2 FCs, one you will see in the video and always randomly get "HTC reader" fc.
also, i have probably over 50-60 apps downloaded and random crap and its still this fluid. when i first installed it i had over 500mb of RAM free, now i have about 300mb. thats way better than 3.0.

For the people who love things MIUI.. miui file explorer

I know I have seen a fair number of posts about people who(also) wanted a MIUI port for the amaze, but since I think that is not going to happen anytime soon at least-- I was excited to see the file explorer that is included in MIUI that works on any phone. I can also testify that it seems to work rather well on the amaze..(though I haven't figured out how people have said they mount it as root and a few other things)
For those who don't know, it searches the phone for all the apks, videos, pictures, zips, etc.. and with a click you can see them all in one place. As horrible as I am at organizing, I end up with tons of zips and apks in weird places I'd never find again, the search function on all the file explorers I've used takes far too long, so this is my answer.
I know if you search the market(still can't get used to calling it the play store) you can find tons of apps that give aspects of miui(homescreen replacement, etc).
Now if there was an app that gives you functionality over the notification bar like miui has, or a miui lockscreen that worked with the custom lock screens people post, or.. well if anyone else knows of apps pulled out of miui like the one posted above that isn't in the market, let me know!
Again, here is the link to the thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
Anyways, just sharing for those that might like it
Thanks for the 411, dl'd will report back on quality and stability tomorrow.
I dl the newest build.
Man miui is really just a great piece of work ran it on my g2x. I had to remove it though WiFi sucked, and battery drain was horrible, also many reboots, more than usual with the g2x.
Thanks though gonna try it.
