ota ICS camera is garbage - HTC Amaze 4G

im on ota ics now and the camera is so bad, every pic is blurry unfocused crap. i tried all the settings, anyone else having this problem?

---

Try the modded HQ camera, that seems to be the best fix. Note that you'll have to rename the apk file to CameraTMO.apk and you'll have to delete tmo's camera apk and it's odex file.

---

Mhm weird and yeah, I'd say root your phone and get the modded cam its worth ot

+1 on that. Having a hell of a time focusing unless its a super bright environment, never had that issue before.
Anyone want to attach the modded cam? Whats been added/changed/tweaked? Thanks!

Wouldn't need the additional files for the extra tweaks to go with the apk?

---

Yeah I was just gonna say something is casuing it to force close. The camera and camcorder appear but crash when I try to open them.

i dont like the style of the hq camera... i wish someone would mod our camera. (cause i like the way our camera looks)

Heres the original thread to the HQ mod:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238
I rather the modder get his rightful thanks than linking the zip here directly, .
Do not that after flashing the file, you'll have to go into system/app and delete CameraTMO.apk and it's odex file, look for HTCCamera.apk or camera.apk, I forgot what the name was and rename it to CameraTMO.apk for it to work.

Works really well. Huge file size difference between same resolution phone of same thing having its picture taken! 1.5mb vs almost 4mb. Much more detailed as well. The picture is so pic you have to scroll over to what I was actually taking a picture of or just let it load and then save it to your desktop to check it out. Def able to focus better as well with both regular shots and macro.

Just replace the xml file and use it with the stock camera. It will improve it.

Could you provide instructions on this?
I'm getting ready to unlock/root my phone and was referred to this camera app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238
From the screenshots I've seen of the UI, I'd say I prefer the stock look as well.
This "replacing of the xml" file, will it still give the benefits of the modded camera but with a stock UI?
Thanks for any help.

Well I didn't give him the file for a thanks. I did it to help him out. I could have been like use the search button like many but instead I gave him a hand. Too bad sometimes that hand gets bitten

I was actually referring to the full zip file with the other files to go along with the apk file, so calm down and I just said to give the modder a thanks due to the fact that the mod is pretty good and yields a nice quality pic, so he deserves that much, relax. I meant no offense.
By the way, I don't see much of a UI difference between the TMO stock and the HTC stock apps, other than the placement of the settings on the opposite side and TMO having a cirlce instead of the square, but ey we all have personal preferences.

Both are thanked. The original thread you linked to as well as you for shortening my search. I gave thanks where it was due but I didn't realize even thanks was becoming such an issue here.

The HQ Camera zip installs an xml file and a different Camera.apk called HTCCamera.apk. If you want the new layout for the camera then you have to remove the CameraTMO.apk but you can leave it in and still have an improved image. If your Rom is not deodexed then the file will not install so it must he moved to there locations manually.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying completely.
Maybe you can PM me and help me through this?
Thanks.
