you are the man thanks a lot i'll give this bad boy a test

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 14.03)
 

I run it from command line.
It isn't ready yet to replace the stock camera-ui. Please don't
use dsmetool. But I must admit, I don't had any reboots
when I used dsmetool.
First, be sure the stock camera-ui does not run.
dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui
then you can start my app with
dsmetool -t <where ever you put it>

Btw the stock camera-ui in /usr/bin/camera-ui isn't the real
application, but a link to /usr/bin/maemo-invoker.
When you start /usr/bin/camera-ui maemo-invoker
is started and starts (depending on the name of the link)
an application (/usr/bin/camera-ui.launch).
camer-ui.launch is the real camera-ui "application". It isn't really
an application but a shared library with a "main" function.
maemo-launcher now loads the shared library and calls this
main function.
This is how the maemo application framework tries to reduce
the start up time of the stock applications (modest, mediaplayer ...)

how can i install the application ? the file inside the .tar file doesn't have an extension

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 14.03)
 

It does not need an extension - untar it and that is the executable. You can run it from the command line as "./dir/dir/camera-ui2" the dir/dir bit being the path to where you have the executable. Or cd into the directory and "./camera-ui2" will do the trick. BUT, as Nicolai shows above, you first need to remove camera-ui from contention using dsmetool.

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 14.03)
 

thanks Nicolai i was using the dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui cmd in root and the dsmetool -t /usr/bin/camera-ui2 (where i unpacked your file) but this was causing a reboot. so i did as handaxe said and ran your file in user not root and it works.
i've got to say what i have seen it looks good works quite well.
i have found auto video mode is a litlle eratic in lower light levels the colour style short cut works well while recording.

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 14.03)
 

would running it like this cause problems?
nohup ~/bin/camera-ui2 >/dev/null &
I haven't seen any absurd effects on CPU ever since you updated it the first time. dsmetool -t always crashes for me :(

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 14.03)
 

I don't know.
Have you used the full path
dsmetool -t /fullpathtobinary

And of course, you can make your own .desktop file:

Version=0.1

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 14.03)
 

i have noticed on after each photo is taken the transition from camera to the captured image has the open lens cover screen.
also when in front facing camera i need to restart camera to get back to the main camera.

does the front cam need extra software/drivers as it seems so dark?

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 14.03)
 

Yes, I will fix this.
Yes, capturing images with the front camera does not work. I added
the front camera only for the video mode, but I missed to
disable it when you change back to image capture mode.
No, the front camera is just bad in low light environment.

Re: camera-ui2 testers needed (updated 17.03.)
 

Updated (see first post).

Fixed
- no "lenscover screen" in transition to the preview window.
- zoom key z/Z updates zoom slider
- switch back from frontcamera to backcamera when scene mode
changed to image capture mode.
- recorded videos are now in "recorded from device" category
- start image viewer/mediaplayer button in preview window
opens the image viewer/mediaplayer with the last taken image/video
(in the prior version the image viewer/ mediaplayer was just opened)
- preview window closes after deleting the image/video

Thank you for your feedback!
