Hey Guys,
Although i know that this could also be told in some other thread also, i thought it wont be noticed by many if i do so. So I decided to make a new thread.
As many of you know that some times ago, our beloved Ankit360 shared the Elfin Camera OEM with us and from that time almost all the ROMs created by ME and Ankit have this camera.
Now one of the shortcomings of this camera oem is that it doesn't supports photo capture while zooming in normal picture mode although it seems to be supported, but the taken pictures were not saved. With the original camera also this was not possible in normal mode but there was a workaround to use the Burst mode for that. But the new camera misses the burst mode too so that is a big trouble.
The tweak i am talking about here will enable the Burst Mode which doesn't actually works like burst mode ( or i may not know how to use it properly) but it does let you save pictures taken while zooming with the camera.
So here it is :
Take any registry editor, like the DotFred's task manager's regedit, and navigate to :
Code:
[B][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6] [/B]
and here change the value of Enable to 1. Create the value as a DWROD is its not present already.
Thats it, you'll have a new mode in the camera.
Thanks for Karan999 for sharing with me the diamond tweaks page which lists this tweak.
thanks for tweak :>
Thanks a million for the tweak
@Ankit and Addicted: My Pleasure Actually i was playing around with registry and i found this and suddenly, by chance, karan999 sent me the link to this same thing I felt sort of weired
i try out this it's not at working
How come man, its working for me completly fine. Do it, then a soft reset and then look at the camera, go to its controls, click the button in the bottom-middle of the screen and choose Burst Mode. Then try zooming and taking pictures. In normal mode it will not save the picture as before. You have to go into Burst Mode.
whos piks did u zoom
hi
i can guess whos piks u zoomed in on
any way i have not tried this as i really don't use the camera at all and im getting real busy after a long time

Can anyone please provide me a registry editor software?
From your signature it seems like you are using my 6.5 ROM, there is a utility in it called TaskManager2, it is actually the DotFred's task manager that i have talked about in post no 1. so just start it, goto the Regedit tab and do the needful.

Problem
hi
wat u said did work and i took a bust pik naturally of my lovely wife
but it took like 20piks really man i counted 20 piks wat went wrong and how do i fix it
but yes its works thanks
Thanks a million Krazy!!!
Ya, i am too searching for some another tweak for that. Actually untill i didn't touch settings of camera, it was taking one pic only. But after i touched settings, it is now taking 20 pics in a row. Although this is what the Burst mode is for , but lets see if it can be controlled
got temp solution for this
hi
this is wat i did when i clicked in bust mode i pressed the navigation(silver key in the middle of the phone) key and it stopped at around 3 piks
so may be u can try this as temp solution for now try it

I have a Cingular 3125. I'm changing jobs, and the new one does not allow camera phones. I don't use the camera, anyway. They say it's OK if the camera is present but disabled, but physically covering the lens is not (even though I think sandpaper would do a pretty good job of making it useless).
Is there an easy way to disable the camera (both camera button and the apps) that will survive a reset? Hopefully, something as simple as a registry and menu edit (OK, I could undo that, but they won't know that) or a CAB to load. Changing to another version of the ROM is an acceptible option, but I'm not really one for cooking my own ROM and I've not seen any 6.x ROMs for the 3100 (camera-less 3125) or ones that list no camera function.
Found some messages from folks who lost and wanted to regain the camera function but nothing the opposite or even a clue as to what unintentionally disabled the camera so I could do the same intentionally.
you can replace the Short_Camera.lnk (and maybe the Long_Camera.lnk) in the windows directory with a shortcut that points to another app. This would stop the camera button from starting the camera app, but it wont totally disable the camera, as you can still manually launch the camera app.
Your other option would be of course to physically disable the camera. Its just plugged in to you can remove the actual camera.
just delete a registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Camera]
and reboot

Wouldn't let me delete the key, but changing the Dll REG_SZ to nothing or an illegal name seems to do it. Camera button now brings up "Pictures & Videos" and both the Video Recorder and Camera apps fail to work. I thought changing SensorType from 1 to 0 would do it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Thanks for the speedy reply. Might have found it by myself, but wouldn't have known not to mess with the other Camera keys.

Hoping Erofich's solution is good enough for them. Don't want to go that far, but will if it's the only way to keep my precious 3125.
I'm not sure how an easily reversed registry-edit would by sufficient if sandpapering the lens isn't.
Physically removing the camera isn't that hard to do, there is an instruction on how to disassemble the phone here with pictures:
http://www.modaco.com/content/strtr...sembling-htc-strtrk-8500-s300-f600-smartflip/
Taking the camera out really shouldn't be too tricky, here is picture of it:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=19448
You could probably also just put a little bit of tape over the camera and then close the phone back up, which would be the least destructive way of disabling the camera with it being sufficiently hard to re-enable for a reasonable employer.
Alright, so I've had my galaxy s2 for about 2 weeks and it worked perfectly, I've shot some really beautiful photos, but now suddenly it wont autofocus anymore.
What I already tried:
-reset cam settings to default
-do multiple factory / hard resets
-return to the default stock rom
Nothing works... The focus is stuck at about 20-30 cm from the phone, i've tried all the focus modes, maybe it was stuck on macro, but I didn't manage to solve the problem....
Could anyone help me out please? I'll try everything to avoid getting it changed since I'd have to buy a Jig from ebay first to reset the custom rom counter...
Bump! I really need to fix this problem guys!
Right one thing you could try is reflashing your camera firmware.
first type *#34971539# then the first option in the menu press that and see what your camera firmware is.
Next goto here
http://www.4shared.com/file/uMStvHzj/fw_camera.html
download this and look for the camera firmware that matches yours.
next when you find the one that matches your camera firmware put it on your internal sd, type *#34971539# & i think it's the second option hit that and wait for 3 mins for it to flash don't mess with ya phone while it updating.
if that fails to sort it then it looks like it a jig and a return to samsung.
i had similar bug with my camera, sometimes it wouldn't focus at all, until i tweak the settings of the camera even thou it didn't helped most of the time
but this did solve my problem, thank you
I dont want to start a new thread so i`m gonna write here sine it's related.
How can i get the SGS2 camera to take photos only when the autofocus square is green?
Or to make the camera app actually focus alone without me pressing on the screen to focus? I have stock camera app, no mods or tweaks.
Anyone else find that quite often when going to take a quick 'blind' shot from standby the phone wakes up but doesn't go into camera mode instead shows the lock screen. Wouldn't mind if this was a rare occurance but it happens far too often that I think one of these times I will miss a quick shot because it doesn't work (defeating the whole idea around fast capture)
Another after the camera has successfully taken a photo from fast capture mode and you select the normal camera mode (instead of scene recognition) it can also jump back to the lock screen.
Anyone else have this problem? It's really bugging me!
I didn't use the fast mode very often but never had a problem.
I set it to only open the Camera without taking a photo, but it worked before.
Tried it couple of times but never had this problem.. Which version do you use?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
I have this problem too. It only works once. If I want to use it the second time I'd have to open Advanced Task Killer and Kill the Camera tasks. Only then will it work.
I'm using .73 Singaporean. I guess something messed up during flashing, not sure =/
I have found another issue with FastCapture. When I click with fast capture its like a blind shot. No flash , no adjustment - image with fast capture often looks bad compared to image taken in same condition using Auto mode.
hello to everyone,
i recently bought an xperia sola and i am very happy with that. After some days usage i discover some issues with my phone and i believe you can help me.
First of all the camera doesn't work with the camera button and to be more specific when i push the camera button does nothing and if i get into the camera app and push the button again i cant get any picture. So i changed the settings of the camera app and now i can take pictures by touching the screen.
whats wrong with the button? Is that a hardware problem or is software?
Also when i make some phone calls the picture of my friends those i choosed to appear when they call me some times are full screen but the most of the time are too small. The pics i choosed are taken from my phone camera.
Do you know anything about this?
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english

i dunno abt the pic problem
for the hard camera button, u have to dig it in reeeeal deep for it to take a pic
(which by the way causes ur hand to shake so unclear pic--better continue to use onscreen button
It took me over a week to realise that the camera button has two positions (like the shutter button on most digital cameras). I first thought the camera was very buggy or that I had set it to some mode where it wouldn't take a picture unless focus was good or something like that.
So, just make sure you press it all the way down.
As for the pictures I have no idea, I never make calls (I'm deaf).
thank you guys for the answers
