HTC Diamond 7 Megapixel Panorama Hack
d0ugie over at www.xda-developers.com found a nice registry tweak to turn your Panoramic photos from the standard (1408 x 480) 0.67mp to (4506×1536) 6.92mp. This registry change seems to work for the HTC Diamond / HTC Touch Pro / HTC Fuze / HTC Touch HD.
You can apply the below registry change yourself. Or install RaphHighResPanorama-RegistryChanger.cab to your device and install. Thanks to d0ugie for creating the .cab
Registry Change:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/P3
Adjust MainCamCaptSize to 1024 and MainCamSupportCaptSize to 1744.– [REG] 7 megapixel panorama tweak
So fire up your favorite registry editor (like the one attached) and make the changes or try the cab which may work then reboot the phone, start the camera, switch your way to panorama and, if you’re in the mood, post here advising if it worked or not. If you’re paranoid, write down the original registry settings for those two entries or export the P3 section before you mess with it.

Seems to have worked for me.. though I had a crash when using the camera. Might be unrelated though, as it wasn’t camera.exe that crashed.
I noticed in the registry that under P4, P5, etc. similar MainCamCaptSize keys exist. Do you know what these other headings represent?
You’re very welcome! Wow didn’t think I’d make the news!
But I should emphasize further that it was not I who figured this tweak out for HTC phones, someone else did for I think the Kaiser. I don’t know who. If someone else tried it for the Touch Pro and confirmed it to work before I did, I’d like to know who that is to give him the proper credit (as well as the guy who figured the thing out originally).
Thanks,
