Camera portait mode hack

[Guest badbob001]

I find it very annoying that when I hold the phone up like any other camera-phone instead of sideways as they want you to, the resulting picture is landscape instead of portrait. And then I have to go rotate them manually if I want to use them as my wallpaper or to look correct from the neo photo browser. Here's a hack to fix that:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]

"EnableEncodePortrait"=dword:00000001

Old value was 0.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera\OEM]

"IsPortraitScreen"=dword:00000001

I think the original value is already 1.

Note that the camera interface will still be sideways. Did they just copy the camera app from the landscape dash device with no modification to support portrait mode?

I wish the camera app is like the one on the motorola rizr:

slider closed: assume landscape mode

slider opened: assume portrait mode

Thanks for that hack. I as well like taking photos in portrait mode, not landscape.

After the ROM upgrade the camera is now Portrait by default. is there was any way to get the "Landscape" picture type back instead of the new "Portrait" style?

I like the Landscape version better (panoramic picture doesn't work either).

I tried the opposite of the hack to move back to landscape and it doesn't work. Anyone has any ideas?

freddy - i've been registered on your site for a while and can't seem to log in so i can download anything. i've tried a few times over the past few months. Is there any way you can post these two files here or explain what the secret is for actually logging into your site?

Many people are having problems downloading files from my website. I decided to move all the files to the forum (it should work).

Now you can download those files from here:
