My husband has the Samsung Captivate and I love his camera application. I like how you can tap the screen to determine the focusing and metering.
I was wondering if the camera application can be ported to the Dell Streak.
I would say no but i may be wrong
i very much doubt it, but get him to pull the .apk from his phone so we can check
This is what I got off of the captivate in the system/apps folder

I tried both if these, in different order too. Negative
I guess I will have to wait until the official release of the UK 2.1 or 2.2 for the US. Or the release of the kernel and custom ROMs.
thanks for trying...

I still don't think we'll get the captivate camera working then. It probably relies on some closed source Samsung frameworks for the camera to work, or possibly even the radio. Hopefully the official release will include a much better camera though. I guess we'll have to wait and see
I used to be a crack addict... er a blackberry user.
The Bold 9000 was my pride, loved it to death, but it lacked a proper browsing experience and a proper camera with autofocus.
Switched over to the 9700 and still no proper camera and browsing experience.
Wind mobile released the Amaze 4g and I knew I had to have it. I was eyeing the sensation but paying $400-500 was turning me off, and the fact that I wouldn't have warranty as well.
Picked up the Amaze on Monday I believe.. HUGE upgrade from my 9700.
But the more I play with it... the more disappointed I'm getting. This is my first android phone, and I really hate the bloatware, and am kind of annoyed that my first experience with android wouldn't be a stock one so I could get to know the OS in and out before throwing in any theming/extra apps into the equation.
The bootloader is currently locked down with S-ON, which is surprising as hell because Telus unlocked its bootloader, and WIND advertises itself as being the transparent customer loving company that will do anything for its customers. And I know that there won't really be a way to get stock gingerbread without having bootloader unlocked soo...
I have 10 days to return the phone, and I need help making the decision. Return it and stick with my Bold 9700, and hope that it gets the Galaxy Nexus in the near future, or keep it and learn to love Sense.
You can unlock the bootloader from htc's site and one click root it. Bloatware is very easy to remove then and you don't have to switch roms. You can keep stock without the bloatware.

That site doesn't support WIND Mobile Amaze 4gs...
It doesn't show any Amaze but it still unlocked mine. Did you try it?
Edit: I see where they list the T Mobile Amaze. Didn't when I unlocked mine.

Nope doesn't work. Doesn't give an error code or reason though.
I use to have the sensation which was a very similar phone to the amaze I was looking for reason to keep the amaze too. reason's why I kept the phone were because it just works. Usually every android phone I've had I wanted to fix something by rooting it and changing roms but with this one I haven't it has great features camera, screen size, looks and build quality etc... I'm not saying root is not needed but I am saying I like this over stock android there are still plenty of options to customize but it picks up where stock Android lacks and that's better features and looks. Stock android right now is ugly unless its a galaxy nexus which not everything has been fixed or made to look better sense has lots of better apps n features like the dialer, looks nice and can dial contacts by spelling the name stock dialer cant, camera is nicer with more options, drop down has quick options to turn on different things quickly, n there's more. This is why I kept it and like it because the reason cm7 exist is so stock android can be customized and have some options in OEM phones with custom uis like touchwiz or sense etc. So thats my two cents stock Android is great but it no longer carries the huge speed improvement that so many people were after before with dual core phones so unless your getting the galaxy nexus the amaze is great phone to keep and hopefully HTC keeps there word and updates us to ics or a dev brings us ics in the future.

HTC widgets are cool, apploader is much nicer than touchwiz IMO, but it's the mass amount of HTC included apps that piss me off. That and random apps like flashlight that I'll never use.
Flashlights pretty useful here yo lol yea I could understand that but nothing rooting can't fix of course

There is no amaze listed when downloading the sync software. I picked the sensation and everything worked fine. You are mainly downloading the sync program for the drivers that are included.

What are you talking about? How is the TELUS bootloader any more unlocked than the Wind one? And TELUS is S-ON too. They all are.

What I meant to say is your phone's boot loader is at least unlocked. I'm unable to Flash custom roms or root
Actually the telus bootloader can no longer be unlocked so we're in the same boat.

I've been very impressed with the camera on my HTC Amaze (Wind). However, I've been wondering why we don't seem to have the same camera app that's shown in all the reviews around the web. That nifty looking camera app with a ton of features is not present on my phone. Instead it seems to have the old HTC camera app (I think). I was wondering why this is? Did T-Mobile make some sort of deal with HTC that made the app exclusive to their phones or something? If so, is there a way I can get that app on my HTC amaze without rooting?
Thanks!
Hmm.. Yeah. I haven't noticed it until I saw your post but...
The Canadian version of the camera app is different.
I just flashed to Bulletproof, so I don't exactly remember... but I actually think some of the settings are different.
You can watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDLsOw34SUA around the 3:00 minute mark to see what our stock camera looked like.
Now if it was actually a newer/older version or not, I don't know.

ya that's the old camera software, I don't know why you still have that...have you updated the software on your phone to the latest? if not flash a custom rom!!! bulletproof I hear is a good one!
I believe I am up to date. I kind of want to avoid rooting my phone this time around (at least until HTC drops it). I found rooting and ROMing to be a time waster, annoying, and to ultimately provide me little benefit (often actually made things worse) on my old phone (Milestone XT720), so I'm trying to avoid rooting atm (might be different experience on this phone, but still)... Anyway to get that camera app without rooting?

I am not sure, you should ask someone more experienced like a developer. you can also call HTC and tell them about this issue!!
You would need to replace the stock app in the system directory and I'm pretty sure you can't do that without root. Having said that, I'm pretty sure you can install another camera app and use that instead...if you really want, try downloading one of the custom roms and pulling the Camera.apk out and installing it.

I was wondering, since there aren't as many roms for the gsm 3vo as I would like, and since the Sensation is very similar to our phone expect the camera, would it be possible to port a sensation rom to the gsm evo 3d? Or even better would it work out of the box(except camera of course) by only flashing an evo kernel?

I think you can definitely test w/o causing permanent damage. For the smoothest test experience, you'll want to be familar with a custom recovery and the backup/restore modes available along with the type of internal memory unlock used on the device (Revolutionary or HTC official method).
Once you're familar with the basics, it would be fairly simple to test. The combinations for testing, off the top of my head, would be:
1) Sensation kernel and EVO 3D ROM.
2) Sensation kernel and Sensation ROM.
3) EVO 3D kernel and Sensation ROM.
Speaking from experience, once you're familar with how to load kernels and ROMs, the process is fairly generic across devices once write access to the internal memory is obtained.
Again, I'll re-iterate the importance of making a proper backup and being familar with the restoration process.
There are only two main hazards which come to mind:
1) Make sure NOT to flash the radio, bootloader, or any other file. ONLY flash kernel/system partitions.
2) Before flashing kernel/system partitions ensure the partition sizes between devices are the same, or EVO 3D is larger. Not sure the device limits and stops partitions from overwriting each other as I know some older devices did not and this caused an unrecoverable damage.
I'm sure if I missed anything, somebody else will post up. Hope that helps provide some technical background and logic to the approach! Keep us updated!
Thanks for the reply. I'm already familiar with flashing kernels/roms and how to make a nandroid backup etc so that isn't a problem. However I have 1 question, how exactly would I find the partition sizes of the sensation, I couldn't find it on the internet and I don't have a sensation that I can check.
Anyways I found a few posts on the forums of people claiming sensation roms work almost flawlessly except for the camera, so the next question would be if there are any apk's/libs etc. I can copy to the sensation rom to get the camera working. I'm no dev myself so I don't have a clue, but if someone could tell me I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Well you can't just flash a sensation ROM out of the box. You would at least need to change the mount points in the updater script otherwise you will get nothing. Regarding the camera, there are libs in /system/lib like liboemcamera.so and such. Not sure fixing the camera would be as simple as copying libs over from our phone though.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
EDIT: Well I took a sense 3.6 ICS rom from the sensation forums, changed the mount points, and replaced the boot.img with ours. It boots to the bootanimation and then reboots by itself. So it is possible I may look at it more tonight.
EDIT 2: I just saw you were talking about the gsm 3d, I did this on the CDMA. The process would be the exact same though.
Yeah I have a GSM phone so that's why I said GSM. Also wouldn't porting to the GSM version be easier then to the CDMA version since the sensation is also GSM?
Anyways I'm kinda busy today but I will try to see if it boots on my phone tomorrow and post my results. I'll.also try to get the camera to work by copying libs like you suggested.

Answer to first question: partition sizes are generally mentioned in a handful of different locations depending on the device: /proc/partition(s), /proc/emmc or /proc/mtd off the top of my head. Since the devices are similar and others have already tried this approach, probably not a concern, but none the less never hurts to learn more!
Answer to second question: the cameras (2 of them for 3D) on this device, along with the 3D display are the two biggest difficulties in porting AOSP such as CM to this device, in my opinion. they use closed source proprietary code from HTC. this requires a bit of reverse engineering and kanging from other random sources in order to get a final working product. personally, i wouldnt invest the time/effort into it, but others might find it a beneficial endeavor for themselves. either way, you're guaranteed to learn a bit about cameras! as stated above, all android libraries are loaded in /system/lib.
For the camera, I view android as having essentially three components contributing to a fully functional camera.
1) Camera drivers in the kernel
2) Camera libraries in /system/lib
3) Camera application apk file for Android UI
These three need to work together to at least some degree in order for there to be some functionality in the camera.

Might be more off topic but could related also to this OP depending on his approach. If you encounter the boot animation this is generally a good sign the kernel has fully loaded and is handing off to the ramdisk/init process.
There are two possible situations at this point
1) If the boot animation loops, i.e. starts over and over, this shows there is an issue with Android/ramdisk init process. Adb has generally been loaded by this point and the issue should be outlined in logcat showing the specific .apk file along with line number which makes for a great starting point in troubleshooting.
2) If the boot animation starts/completes but the device completely reboots back to the splash screen, this is more difficult to troubleshoot. I'm not aware of a great approach to this but I might start by glancing at the /proc/last_kmsg file along with executing adb logcat as soon as I see the boot animation in an attempt to grab the logcat before the device reboots itself.
Good luck and keep us updated!

Well yeah it completely reboots back to the splash screen. During the bootanimation, I can't get a logcat and adb says there is no device connected. This isn't my first port but I've never had this happen lol. I'll look into what you said.

Well, I successfully installed Android Revoltion HD 3.6.13, It boots, everything seems to work, however I didn't test GPS and BT yet. And the camera is well, half working I guess. The camera app opens, and i can see the controls etc but no image comes, and when I press the capture button the flash pops but the app FC's after that. I'm gonna try flashing [MOD] Camera from HTC Amaze 4G, v0.11 and see if it works. If it doesn't I'll copy over all the camera related libs I can find from my old ROM and see if it works then.
Edit: Hahahaha yessss it works I just flashed the Amaze camera app and now camera works only 2D of course but it's enough for me. I'll keep testing for a few days and of there aren't any serious bugs I can find I'll be using this as my daily driver from now on
Edit2:Audio doesn't seem to work If I can't get that fixed then this ROM will be useless :/

When you say Replaced the Boot.img, How'd you do that? Was it done with a ROM kitchen? Reason I'm asking because I read something saying that a Complete Rom Port could be achieved just with Apps on our phones... Using something like Root Explorer and whatever else (Can't Remember?) But I was wondering is that True?
And as for Extracting the Kernel can that Also be done Without the use of a Computer? In other words straight from a phone?
Thanx in Advance guys!!

Yeah like t3project said, that is wrong.
But anyhow, I replaced the boot.img simply by opening the two ROMs with winrar and then deleting and replacing it. And to extract the kernel, you would need to split the boot.img either using a kitchen or some other tools that do the job.
A little update on my port: I still haven't gotten it to fully boot, it just keeps restarting

Aren't you on the CDMA EVO? If you are wouldn't the radios be completely different since the sensation is a GSM device? So maybe that's what's causing the reboot issues. I mean as far as I know even porting from the CDMA EVO to the GSM EVO is hard so wouldn't porting from the sensation to the CDMA EVO be even harder?

I recently got my hands on a shiny new HTC One and I really do love it. Loving out even more now that it's rooted and I removed all that crap AT&T put on it. (tards)
Anyway, I had some questions for the community. I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus and I had CM installed so I'm used to a lot of things like battery % in the status bar and the daydream app.
Thing is, I kinda like the new sense (minus the launch and blinkfeed) and I'm really wanting to stay on stock if it's possible. I know that whenever the new update arrives I'll have the coveted % but what about daydream?
If anyone gots some info on that I'd really aprreciate it.
Oh and I also really miss the battery/power menu on vanilla android. Does anyone know if there is an app or a mod that I can use to get the same experience?
Thanks

I think many of us AT&T One owners here on XDA are running 4.2.2 ROMs from the International HTC One section due to their perfect compatibility (no need to change CID, go S-OFF or flash firmwares to run ROMs from that section, and all AT&T-specific issues from the 4.1.2 days are resolved) since the AT&T section is a ghost town in comparison. That is how you have your cake and eat it too, as your title says.
To answer your first question, the stock based HTC One 4.2.2 ROMs do have built-in daydream and stock battery %, so the AT&T update to 4.2.2 (if and when it ever comes) should have these features also.
I know you said you wanted to stay on stock if possible, but keep in mind that AT&T is holding back this phone's potential. Since you're already used to 4.2.2, and we can all wait on AT&T until the cows come home, you may want to consider just biting the bullet and flashing a stock rooted HTC Sense 4.2.2 ROM. There's one here in the AT&T dev section that is an excellent option if you're wanting to stay stock, based on the latest build from HTC. The stock AT&T radio works fine with it BTW.
In the new 4.2.2 ROMs, HTC has gotten rid of the black menu bar in apps by officially providing the option of mapping a long-pressing of the home button to the menu function. If you end up finding out that long pressing the home button intermittently acts like a single press, upgrading to the matching 4.2.2 firmware helps significantly with improving the sensitivity of the capacitive touch buttons, but that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves...just wanted to mention it. However the new firmware won't work with the stock 4.1.2 AT&T ROM.
Thanks for the info and the link.

Nevermind, I got it. Although, now I'm kinda scared to flash it cuz since I rooted there's been some screwy things going on. I was using Titanium Backup to delete some att apps and some of them keep coming back like Facebook and Twitter. When I go to superuser it says that it needs to update binary and then it tries but then it says it can't and that it's a problem. I can manually go into TWRP and flash stuff as I did with a script that supposedly wiped the crapware from att but I'm still not sure about flashing something custom.
any ideas or should I just go for it.
Also, I'm guessing that since it didn't give a limk for Gapps then I don't need them right?

I can manually go into TWRP and flash stuff as I did with a script that supposedly wiped the crapware from att but I'm still not sure about flashing something custom.
any ideas or should I just go for it.
Also, I'm guessing that since it didn't give a limk for Gapps then I don't need them right?

Stock kernel has write protection for the /system folder. You'll need to flash a custom ROM that has the write protection removed. Much easier to flash a custom ROM than to mess with the **** AT&T has done to it.

Ok wait, so you're saying I need to grab a Rom from the international thread instead? Is that the one that just says HTC One?

Yes that is the International section.
If you want to stay on the stock rooted ROM, you can just disable those apps instead of deleting them, using the method built into Android (Settings>>Apps>>find your app and disable it), or alternatively you can freeze them in Titanium. This doesn't require write access to the system partition. These disabled apps will still occupy a small amount of file space but they won't be running anymore and using up RAM, and their respective icons will be gone.
You can flash a custom ROM from either the AT&T section or the International section. The International section has a much better selection and the threads are much more active. There are rooted stock ROMs (Sense and Google Edition) and custom ROMs (Sense, Google Edition and AOSP). AOSP ROMs on the One are pretty good now but there are a few issues with them, and you lose features like Beats and Zoe if you care about those things.
you can still get the HTC Sense camera for GPE. Works for me, with the exception that I can't click to my gallery from the camera itself (but the pictures do save there).

Question about the international ROM. I heard the signal bars are off since we are in the states, is this true?

Me too, but I used Zoe's before, and they dont work with the GPE framework...too many files missing. You can search through the forums to try various things based on the GE rom you've flashed though. I ended up going to ARHD, which has all the features OP asked for anyway.
