desire vs stock cam

hey guys i was wondering what everybodys opinon was on the quality of the two. picture and video recording. Im actually more intersted in the 480p option because he 720p is just to jerky and with jagged lines and very low framerate. I would much rather have smooth video vs choppy high def

No comparison, I actually abandoned cyanogen to get the desire cam. It's night and day, htc cam wins.

I don't know, I'm torn. I like all of the settings in the new cam in cm6. There are a lot of settings and tweaks, and i also like the icon better. but yeah man, i agree that its like night and day.

Where and how can I get the desire camera application?
My phone is rooted but still has stock 2.2 android. Does that matter?

I just switched to Enoms ROM the other day from Cyanogen RC3... and I love the Desire cam and the HTC Music app far more than the Android defaults. And even though Music Mod makes so good changes to the default music app, it doesn't sync with Last FM, but the HTC Music app does. The Desire cam is not only more visually pleasing on the screen, and easier to operate... plus has touch to focus, but I feel it takes a better picture with the same camera hardware... this could easily be a placebo effect though.

Flash with 3D camera

Is it just me or is the camera's flash disabled in 3d mode?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

Agreed. It appears to be disabled.
I also tried to run the flashlight app and open the camera, but it wouldn't allow me to open the camera app if the flashlight app was running.

I think the reason is because the lighting would be slightly off on the two images so when they combine to make the 3D effect it would mess things up.

Agreed.
My friend has the HTC EVO 3D and he was * himself over how awesome of a photo I got, so went to take a comparison photo with his phone...IT FLASHED! I was soo confused.
The picture I took came out better (the image was close up to and the dynamic range of 3D is much higher between 1 and 6ft so anything with a flash everything will look awkwardly bright with that much flash...as his picture came out.)

Also, there is a custom camera app out there (might have been for the optimus 3d) but it might offer a solution.

Well if the Flash on the Evo 3D is washing out the pictures with too much light there is probably a reason they set it for no Flash when taking a 3D picture.

Thx

[Q] Speed up Camera of.5.6.890

Hi guys, now that we have root and can flash some kind of SBF, is someone able to edit the camera app so that it will shoot photos faster? I have no Idea how and where this could or couldn't be done.
If its impossible, we have to wait for another update.

not just shooting photos faster but switching between front and rear camera faster too, sometimes you think "oh, my press didn't register, i'll press it again" and it switches back - very frustrating

The MIUI Camera posted here works great on D3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15307536#post15307536
Just no FFC ability. Good for quick photos though until we get a camera fix.

Yes, the MIUI camera works GREAT!!

I have to admit that it shoots pics faster, but its not sooo beautiful, not fully translated and has no working camcorder.
The only thing I figured out is, pictures are shot MUCH faster if you set the picture mode of the stock camera app to "Steady Shot". Then the speed, even with flashlight is almost on par with the Droid 2.

The camera apk has a lot of coded bloat used for other phones x2, defy, photon and fire - so much garbage no wonder it takes so long to start, it has to detect the current phone specs and appropriate values.

The Miui v17 camera app worked perfectly for me, although I did hear of one person who flashed 890 on top of 890....go figure! lol

I pushed the MIUI camera to /system/app, installed Quickpic, then froze the stock camera and gallery applications using TB. Everything seems to work fine.

What gallery do you use? I actually quite like the moto gallery because it always takes you to your most recent photos and videos.

Quickpic: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result
I used to use Gallery3D on my Droid Incredible running CM7, but it would lag every so often. Several people recommended Quickpic and I've loved it ever since.

Smooth HD photo browser ?

Hello, I am searching for a smooth photo browser for my Xoom. All I tried were laggy, or not HD, even the stock photo browser is laggy.
Can anyone help me to find a smooth HD photo browser ?
Thanks !

QuickPic from Market. Free and Best.

Quickpic is nice but very very laggy... Not smooth at all.

Quickpic isn't laggy for me...

If anyone else know a very smooth photo browser I would be glad to know ...

Quickpic is very good on my Xoom, no lag, smooth transitions. You must have something taking CPU in the background. Unless of course you have 24Mpixel pics or similiar, in which case any Arm device will struggle.

Another +1 for quickpic

No, I have nothing running in background. Even no Widgets, or no animated background. I want my Xoom (running Honeycomb 3.2) to be as smooth as possible, so I'm very concerned by the background apps.
Quickpic is a nice app, but when I pinch to zoom, or when I let slide my photos, it's a bit laggy, not smooth. I don't understand why it would be smooth on your Xooms.
Would ICS let quickpic run smoother than on honeycomb ?

I have to say ICS is MUCH smoother in my opinion. Especially the EOS custom ICS rom. It is very snappy and responsive.

i understand that ics is smoother, but what about the apps ? Are they smoother also ?

For the most part I'd say so. There have been a few apps that I've run into that aren't quite compatible with ICS, but otherwise all is well.

I use photo slides u can also dock and have it cycle through like an electronic pic frame '''''''' get ics rom like the others said such a difference over clock bam good to go

+1 for photo slides. I'm on ICS team EOS nightlies and it super smooth in the app.

Large Image Viewer is the best for large image with smooth edges
Market link Click Here

Large image viewer crashes on my xoom with HC 3.2.1.
About photo slides, I don't like its ergonomy. I could display one picture but didn't find how to zoom. I also found annoying the need of selecting each picture one by one to display a full folder.

with photo slide, you can only choose it when docked, if you are rooted?

no u don't need to be rooted to dock just start app u can also use app Tasker and have it go through lock screen force start on dock I just recommend the ics root for stability and performance and custom options the nightlys are pretty much stable for all stuff

Best video camera app for Note?

I know there's no real best app, but I'm looking for one that doesn't have bad lag and choppy video, and lets me touch focus.
To be honest, the stock camera app that came with Gingerbread was really good and fast, and later ones started to lag for me. But I don't think there's any apk for the old version.
So can anyone recommend a good video camera app?

Google Camera is the best, but you can not have it without installing an AOSP or CM ROM.
Google Camera work only with 4.4+ and up Android.

I am interested in getting the apk for the original Samsung camera that shipped with the android 2.3 galaxy note. Where can I get it? I don't know how to extract it from the ROM.

anybody?
