Yesterday I flashed my Charmer with gullum Prophet Touch V5. beta rom. Very nice, and also it is a quick rom too. The cube is also working by pressing the lower left button ("Record Button" or "Cassette Button" or "Tape Button").
Every app is working fine... Camera is working now with FIX.
UPDATE: Camera will work with this update http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=45688&d=1185974087

someone might try changing or deleating 1 regestry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\Captparam\ExifInfo]
"Make"="HTC"
"Model"="PM300" <-- change this to the model number of charmer
if it doesn't work try to delete it

this rom are the best news of the day for me
did this registry-hack work?
I don't think so, this key configures EXIF data in photo files.

update
I tried to delete this registry key and camera won't work. I think because driver on Prophet I slighty diffrent than driver in Charmer. To make camera work we must create a CAB with driver and registry setting and maybe other camera application.
cheers.
great ROM
I've just tried this rom and think it is really good, thanks.
I've tried the camera fix on this thread and also the cab file on the other recent wm6 thread, neither work.
I've also noticed that my screen ok button does not work. I have to use a hardware button. Any ideas?
thanks

I need to find what camera driver Charer uses... the Prophet & Hermes uses S5K3BAFX.dll and wizard uses OV9650.dll so I need to figur out which Charmere uses then maybe I could make a cab for the original Charmer camera for you guy to use

That is because the alignment of the Touch.dll thats been modified from the elf(HTC Touch) touch.dll you will need to align the screen a bit differantly
on the left side align spot on to the + but on the right side align the bottum + a bit abow and the top + a bit beneth
Thanks for that. It seems to work some times but not always.
The fix in this thread allows the camera to start but then a message is displayed saying that it could not be configured.

That's because the new camera uses s5k3bafx.dll and the charmer uses ov9650.dll
I'll make a cab of the camera used in Essentials 000.2 distrib 1 for you guys... It will take some time because there are quite a lot og regs that I need to tap in by hand to be prisise it 1133 lines
so be patiand anyway I'm sending V5 beta 2 for testing now so it might work for you guys too
That would be great.
I think i have the screen issue sorted. It has to be aligned quite accurately.
Many thanks

Charmer camera
could someone try this cab and see if it works?
View attachment Charmer_Gullum_camera.CAB
if it works I'm verry happy then I can make cab's 00 times faster then before
Just tried it. Can't see the camera app in programs anymore. Pressing the camera button shows the timer for a second then nothing.

could you try to see if it works from the windows folder
maybe I have forgot some shortcut in the cab
if that works I'll make a new cab with shortcuts
Camera isn't working from windows directory. You must change registry settings to new camera driver.
Hi
have the same problem camara dont start then i try this fix
k0ster_WizaCharmCamFix.cab
after this the software start but device driver cant load
can anyone upload the charmer driver cab for the camera?

CAMERA WORKS!!! (not at all)
Install Charmer_Gullum_camera.CAB (Gollum Post) & k0ster_WizaCharmCamFix.cab (last post) & my regfix (HTC_Camera_regpath.zip) from attachment and camera works, but camera preview is flipped. But in other ROM this issue is solved. There is another bug, when you close Camera app, screen stays in Landscape.
I try to solve this bugs today.
ps Install regfix with registry app, for example: Resco Exporer, using Import function.
Cheers.

I solved flip-bugs, will upload instructions soon.
I can confirm that the camera now works with the above fixes. I would really like the fix for the flipped view and screen rotation though.
thanks

FINAL PATCH (I think )
There is a final FIX for CAMERA (attachment: charmer_cam_fix_touch.zip) . You don't have to install other patches (Gollum, k0ster) for Camera. Install this CAB only. Camera is working propertly. If anyone have problems - please post.
How to Install:
1. Download ZIP file. Unzip.
2. Copy CAB to PPC
3. Install on PPC
4. Softreset PPC
5. Voila! Camera is working.
PS I can upload fix without Picture Themes (more free space on storage) if anyone wants.
i am using touch IX gulum ,before installing cab files of htc camera 4.11 i copied all older camera files then compared them and came out with 5 suspected file which are
1. S5K3BAFX.dll
2. PoomIntegration.dll
3. HTCUtil.dll
4. HTCSourceFlt.dll
5. HtcRenderFlt2.dll
other files are moslty decoders or encoders
i need to know what do last 2 do, my main suspect is S5K3BAFX.dll because its for camera and wifi (discussed some where in prophet forum only) if i put the old file camera will not open and if i replace newer one and softreset camera starts but drain part i am still trying to understand, it is observed that even when not using camera battery drain overnight with original 4.11 installed is over 25%, where as it should be about 4 to 6 % overnight or less so its gonna be time consuming to test these files and one might have to specially replace S5K3BAFX.dll everytime he wants to use camera if this file is the culprit or may be we can cab original camera drivers too so that after we use camera we restore original ones to save power ,this is tiring process any suggestions are welcome.
solution is S5K3BAFX.dll,PoomIntegration.dll,HTCUtil.dll
steps are install the cab gullum camera4.11 file following link
http://rapidshare.com/files/67411076/HTC_Camera_411.CAB
then reset press ok
then upon reset replace with PoomIntegration.dll,HTCUtil.dll in given 3.zip in /windows directory
you are ready to use camera but with drain.
when camera is used replace with S5K3BAFX.dll(37kb) in 3.zip in /windows and softreset.
till when you next need to use camera replace S5K3BAFX.dll(45kb) in 4.zip in /windows ,else camera gives initiation error. (and may be reset) and viceversa .
ofcourse this eliminates power drain in offline mode means when you are not using camera which is more than 25% overnight a significant amount.
i still am keeping under observation
i still have very less time to find about PoomIntegration.dll,HTCUtil.dll but i gave the original ones since it comes with touch IX.
could this dll be opened with .NET
hi good to see that you are working on the camera
but you only need the camera.dll htccamera.dll htccamerautility.dll s5k3bafx.dll (s5k3bafx is the one causing battery drain) and registry setting for camera 4.11 all the other files that are needed for the camera to work are already in the rom.

yes (thanx for IX) ,good news is that touch IX dropped only 2% overnight with older s5k3bafx.dll (37KB) ,so when i need to use camera i have to replace older with 4.11 s5k3bafx.dll (47KB)in 4.zip file and viceversa ,
i think alot of files are depending on s5k3bafx.dll so renaming it won't be a good choice neither in registry nor in /windows folder. i cannot make a code file which replaces this file and is run parallel with camera and then switches back to original file later on and performs a softreset if neccessary.
,there was a 2KB difference in HTCUtil.dll (18KB,20KB) so my judgement was based on difference in sizes beyond 1kb.that is why i changed PoomIntegration.dll,HTCUtil.dll .
p3400 or Trinity ( http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-p3400-en.shtml )has wm5 but has camera 4.11 like its battery is same as prophet could some one reading this provide
camera.exe
camera.dll
htccamera.dll
htccamerautility.dll
s5k3bafx.dll
У меня ничего не получилось ....пишет что не возможно переместить S5k3bafx
looks like we need translator....
sory...For me nothing turned out ....say that it is not possible to move S5k3bafx
if this file is extracted the problem is solved (only one thing for wifi we will have to switch back to prophet s5k3bafx.dll) because this set don't has wifi but it has camera 4.11 it has 1250 mah battery like prophet all other features are the same except it doesn't have infrared and wifi.
which other platforms are using S5K3BAFX.dll camera driver? I think Gullum mentioned about Hermes somewhere in this forum. Is Artemis one of them too?
PoomIntegration.dll

ok if it is not possible to copy ,please tell me the file size how much kilobyte is is? (like 35KB or 42 KB something like this what exact size do you see)
SOLVED drain issue the cab link given below is same as gullums 4.11 but with 2 files changed inside (S5K3BAFX.dll,HTCCamera.dll from 3.02 version ) camera works BUT screen is inverted and hence the photo is inverted and you have to adjust white balance to auto everytime ,tested on crystal v4 and gullum X beta ,battery drain is stable and under test too ,the inverted issue is due to may be because this rom is based closely to WIZA200 and where as identity shows it as PM300 and WIZA200 HTCCamera.dll might be needed, OR because of hardware issue because neither p3400 nor ELF (touch) have macro mode which means lens or camera is hardware inverted which means more modification to current situation but with battery drain solved i assume if i get the above both files for wiza200 and pm300 and original prophet wm5 i might be able to reinvert the inverted image.also i am unable to recall but i have read this inverted camera issue long time back.
Conclusion : you can use both cams 3.02 (with non inverted and some colour change due to codec issues) and 4.11 (inverted image colour not tested) with no battery drain on crystal v4 follow the steps unzip cam 3.02 on storage card and to operate it you would need to go to 3.02 folder and click camera.exe file inside it.incase you don't like you can always hard reset. this is not the final solution because image is inverted in cam 4.11 but 3.02 works fine , atleast now you can have them together .
NOTE : if you do not want to hard reset do not uninstall cam4.11 but instead unzip rar from step II(3.02) and put all those files in /windows folder and give softreset to device which would revert you back to cam 3.02 without headache of hard reset
HELP needed on : There must be a screen coordinate set registry value which i am not aware of yet because camera.exe or associated dll files can't be opened as far as i know but any help on these 2 issues (registry or exe ,dll file opening )is invited .
STEP I http://rapidshare.com/files/70162943/HTC_Camera_4.11modified.CAB.html
STEP II http://rapidshare.com/files/70296267/302files.rar.html
Finally Great job man!!! Testing right now
wow! sounds interesting! you're making a mission impossible possible (so many tried, and failed)! keep going, man!
Great job man, you are on the right way.
i noticed that the invertness occurs when u use the v3 camera drivers because it auto rotates....is that the same driver thats caussing the power issues on the v4 camera?
Yes simple explaination is original 4.11(file-S5K3BAFX.dll) causes drain (due to wifi integration in itself)
if we change only this file after we have installed original 4.11 with cam3.02 (file-S5K3BAFX.dll) camera will give initialisation error so we also have to replace cam3.02(file-HTCCamera.dll) to remove initialisation error which inturn causes the inverse,but drain issue gets solved.
I found that in many 6.5 Roms the button on toolbar of mobile ie are color distortion ,them looks less Color than the other button below.
this phenomena can be found in most miROM ,some ffboy's rom and some others .
I try to resolve it but failed.I deemed to some file in /windows named default_toolbarXXX.png are the image source,
I replace them but it dosen't works. can anyone can explain away my doubts and solve it .
by the way ,
can the mobile ie 6.5 be extracted to a CAB?and the CAB can install in 6.1 rom.thaX >>>>>>>>>sorry for my Eng .
I have installed "Mahmood's~BsMod-V.4.0 For Karbonn A9:11-April-2013" & I am facing following problems after 1 day of use:
1. Sliding out of any notification the systemui crashes. => Other Users have reported the issue
2. Not able to record Videos => Generated videos by 3-4 softwares didn't produce valid mp4/3gp/any valid video file format
3. Sim Management => Does not show Operator Name
I have followed the authors instructions for installing ROM. If Recording Videos is not Possible, then I will switch to other ROM...
Any suggestions please?

Hi there,
I am a photographer and have almost complete my 8-year journey of developing [the ultimate digital photography workflow] .
If it was not for this problem I need your with help
Everything works but.... : PLEASE HELP.
----------
TLDR:
Snapseed can't open raw files, Let this please just be a simple Build.Prop edit that tricks Snapseed into thinking the emulator is a compatible device.
-----------
Full Story:
Part of the workflow does entail editing the raw files in android running emmulated on a windows machine.
Everytime I try to open a .ARW file with Snapseed running on various android Emulators* it will give me the following message which I do not get on my phone (Oneplus 3T).
Snapseed, The ultimate workflow killer
The research so far got me to edit the Build.Prop with the line:" 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1'
Something that is supposed to make the CAMERA2 API work.
Link:https://forum.xda...579
This was based upon the assumption I drew from the quote below from a google help forum in which a Snapseed developer basically was hinting that the error has something to do with RAW support of the phone in general. quote:
Quote:
RAW capture on Android has similar requirements to Snapseed with RAW. That's why I say that if it can capture RAW, it probably supports RAW in Snapseed. Some devices that can capture RAW need a third party camera app to use it.
Bonus tip: Camera apps with RAW will disable it if the phone/tablet doesn't support it.
-Zach
link:https://productforums.google.co...orum/snapseed
-------
Possible solutions?:
-This does give me at least some hope that there is some other thing (Build.prop.-wise) we can do in order to make Snapseed open and edit RAW (.ARW) files.
-Maybe someone with know how could look at the actual code of the APK of snapseed in order to figure out what we could change? I am not technical any further than rooting and flashing a rom once in a while.
You would be of serious help, finding out how to make this work.
For what matters, you will be helping me creating art, my Instagram page:

Greetings from Amsterdam,
Thijs.
PS.
Ofcourse I will share the final workflow if it will see it's complete light someday. (Since it only works as a whole)
(*I know there is something like Phoenix and Remix OS that do not have this described problem, It does however give rise to the the BIG problem of not being able to calibrate the display with a remote callibrator tool (Idisplay) . If ran on an Emulator the windows in the background will still provide the just and real colors) Emulators I tried? : Memu, Andy and NOX show the same error)
Possible other angle:
Quote:
For the OP problem I was having the same error and it was because my phone doesn't have the RAW capability, meaning the CameraCharacteristics.REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITI ES_RAW (https://developer.android.com/refere...PABILITIES_RAW), so the mCharacteristics is never set.
You can remove all the RAW references and implementations and it should work.
