As many of you will know, i've been doing lots of work lately on porting the Desire ROM to the Nexus One which has, er, been interesting. One of the implications of this is that i've been messing around with the Camera application to get it to work properly on non-Desire kernels. I now have it 100% working on my Desire ROM, so I thought i'd have a quick look to see if it was feasible to port it to regular Nexus One builds (such as my MCR 2.1 ROM) build.

To cut a long story short, it works!

I have added an option to the MCR 2.1 kitchen and the CM 5.0.6 kitchen to include the Desire Camera application. Update zips are also available below for MCR r15, CM 5.0.7.1 and Enomther 1.8.1. Do NOT use these on any ROM other than the ones they are designed for!

AFAIK all the features are working as desired (sic), and i'm continuing to work on a couple of requested features such as saving to the standard /DCIM/Camera directory. The Desire Camera app REPLACES the standard one.

If you wish to do so, you can express your appreciation by signing up to a MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus Account using PayPal or Google Checkout, as detailed in this post on MoDaCo. As well as donating to support the work that goes into all the various MoDaCo activites, you get cool stuff like free software (there's some great Android stuff coming too!), and ad free MoDaCo site and of course access to the MoDaCo Online Kitchen. All signups are very much appreciated.

Enjoy!

Upgrade instructions

If upgrading from a previous Desire Camera release, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND reinstalling your chosen base ROM again, as some previously altered files (e.g. the Gallery APK) are no longer modified.

Changelog

r2

• No longer requires a patched framework.jar (ROM chefs, include com.htc.framework.jar in your bootclasspath BEFORE framework.jar)
  
• No longer requires a patched Gallery3D
  
• Now using Enomther's slimmed HTC resources apk (thanks!)
  
• Camcorder icon is now removed (now showing Camera icon only, until I fix the Camcorder link)

r1

• Initial Release

Test seems to be working all good on CM 5.0.5.3! A helluva lot faster with the picture taking, too!

Uploads/Sharing working just fine. Sweet.

Sweet. Flashing it now, will let you know how it works

Now all we need is a port of those wonderful zoomable Sense UI homescreens

Seriously though, thanks so much Paul!

I think this is not gonna happen. That would mean that the whole Sense framework would have to be ripped and imported to normal roms, and I guess that's too big job and maybe even impossible.

Just use Desire rom if you need the Sense candy
