Great news So far the only problem I face with current version is:
- The Camcoder  when open same point to Photo not Video.
- Opening the camera via nemoPlayer (Acer Music/Video Player) give me FC, it is working in stock camera.

The rest seems ok and work great as usual as in Desire ROM.

Some good news - for the update i'll post tomorrow, i've removed the need for a customised framework.jar. This means it should be a lot easier to get working on any ROM, and it will no longer interfere with trackball alert.

Paul, this camera is frickin' fantastic.  It's the only thing I missed about not using the Desire ROM.  Absolutely worship the bits you spew at this point, LOL.

How difficult would it be to make how you snap the picture customizable, i.e., maybe a volume button instead of the trackball?

I went hog wild with the camera at a strongman competition and the beach yesterday and took over a hundred pictures.  It was really awkward to do one handed (holding camera high above head) snapshots; the grip on the phone was precarious.  I eventually figured out if I actually held the camera with the trackball at the top (upside down), I could securely hold the camera with thumb on one side and middle/ring fingers on the other and then snap the shots with my index finger.

Can't wait for the update, awesome work!!!!

[desert00rat]

Just downloaded the app. Applied it to a CM 5.0.5.3 with NexTheme 2.0. Haven't messed with any of the settings at all.

No FC but i took a few pictures. When I touched (while still in camera) to view the last photo taken, it takes me back to the gallery. The new pics (which should be in a new section in the gallery) aren't there... the entire section is gone. It shows up for a split second (i can see the name briefly) then it disappears. Only way to get it back was to reboot the phone, then I could see the new section in the gallery.

Other minor error (now that I can see the gallery normally) is with the camera ready to take a pic, touch to see the last picture taken, brings you back to the gallery, not the actual last pic taken.

Hope this helps to iron out some of the issues for an otherwise awesome app... Nice work Paul!

Testing a new version, uploading coming very soon.

Changes:

• No longer requires a patched framework.jar
  
• No longer requires a patched Gallery3D
  
• Now using Enomther's slimmed HTC resources apk (thanks man!)
  
• Camcorder icon is now removed (Camera icon only, until I fix the Camcorder link)

This should make it a lot easier to implement for the ROM of your choice - only 1 small edit is needed to the boot image init.rc. This will stop it breaking things like trackball alert too.

Watch this space!

Interesting note: I see no evidence of 720P support whatsoever in the Desire camera app...

[PaulOBrien]

New version online!

Changelog

r2

• No longer requires a patched framework.jar (ROM chefs, include com.htc.framework.jar in your bootclasspath BEFORE framework.jar)
  
• No longer requires a patched Gallery3D
  
• Now using Enomther's slimmed HTC resources apk (thanks!)
  
• Camcorder icon is now removed (now showing Camera icon only, until I fix the Camcorder link)

[PaulOBrien]

Important:

If upgrading from a previous Desire Camera release, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND reinstalling your chosen base ROM again, as some previously altered files (e.g. the Gallery APK) are no longer modified.

Have the kitchens been updated with the latest release Paul? I'm upgrading from v1 so as you've recommended, I plan on reinstalling my ROM again, meaning I'd like to re-cook with the v2 included!

[PaulOBrien]

Updating the kitchens now!
