I'm using SGS, and runing the Froyo.JHJP4 (Israeli Orange ROM),
One of the problems was with the camera that didn't work at first, so I installed a fix for that (GT-I9000PTRJP4_KERNEL.zip).
after that I tested the camera and discovered something very annoying:
The quality of the camera got much worse compared to the 2.1 version,
and it looks as if it's in constant "Night mode"... so the image moves slowly while moving the camera, and the images are very grained and quality is down.
I checked the settings, and everything look normal:
The night mode is OFF
and the Quality is at BEST.
Anyone familiar with this problem??
I really like this ROM and don't want to change it again, but the camera is important to me...
THANX!

Hi,
I seem to have found a way to stop the ridiculous lag on the camera, although I'm not sure this will work for everyone.
I have a non-standard version of the Camera software installed (I think it's the Touch version from somewhere on here - not sure who, I'm pretty new here so please forgive me), but I've noticed that if I start the camera up, then put the device into standby for a few seconds, then turn it back on again, the camera is *far* more responsive, and this is for both still images and for video.
I have no idea why this is - someone more technically intimate with the Kaiser can probably shed some light on it, but it seems to work for me.
The only downside I can see is that it makes the low-light compensation stop working, but in situations with plenty of light there's no difference whatsoever in image/video brightness.
Andy.
Ya, weird how this works. This work around was discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365345
camera is ugly?
my camera quality is so ugly i have one of the newsest camera software installed. i dont mean the lag or anything i just mean the camera quality is so blurry and unclear i have sharpness on high and styll :S
when i press a camera button to take a picture and it auto focuses before the green thing comes for juss like half a second everything is clear buh then becomes super blurry. any suggestions or is jus broken
the camera is very slow and when I move the phone there is a delay,
i tried to download the fix from the original site and tried two roms
the original one and a cooked one but still the same
is this normal in tytn2 or is it just my mobile problem?
hope any one can advice
thanks
Hi,
this question was asked a thousand times now, please search the forum.
Anyway, here some short answers to your questions:
- In bright areas the camera works very good.
- Slow and laggy camera in dark (or better: not bright) areas is normal for the Kaiser. I would say it's normal for most PPCs.
- The HTC fix improves the camera a little bit, but not much.
- Flashing other ROMs does not really solve the problem. I've heared there is a ROM that improves the camera performance a litte bit, but not much.
- There's a little trick in dark areas: Switch the PPC off in camera mode and on again after about 3 seconds -> No laggy effect anymore, but the pics will be darker and more blurry.
- Some members here say the bad camera has something to do with the missing graphic drivers, but I personally do not believe that. I think this is more a hardware issue.
For further information please search this forum.

thanks
thanks a lot i thought it was only my htc's problem
hope they will find a way to fix the hardware
Also note that these cameras work best in NATURAL lighting, for instance outdoors it will probably not blur, usually interior lighting causes it to blur during motion. Another BIG factor is the Radio.
Hi
I've recently load the latest hot fix from HTC website:
Hot fix for TyTN II photo quality issue
If you zoom in on a captured photo and notice grainy, maze-like patterns within the image itself (this problem is caused by too much sharpness enhancement being applied in bright-light environments), please download and install this hot fix to solve the problem. Sharpness parameters within the photo will then be reduced with only a minimal loss of image sharpness.
Now my camera does not work at all, all is see is black. Even if I change to the video call camera its also black.
Is there a setting to enable the camera or is the camera broken? What now?
Me too. Since I applied the update, I cant see anything, but can still take pictures and review/look at them afterwards. Very strange. Hope there's a fix that doesn't involve hard-reset. Uninstalling doesn't want to work either.
You guys might have to change the radio, look into that
Just wanted to say that this hotfix doesn't work with WM6.1.
So if you upgraded your device to WM6.1 you don't need the "Hot fix for TyTN II photo quality issue"
Greets...
had this happen right before flashing a new ROM. Reflashing a ROM fixes that.. assuming you have a correct radio installed, of course.

It should fix it
Hi guys. Recently I've noticed a bad camera problem with my IncS. You see when I open the camera app ( on MIUI's ROM ) it lags pretty badly. When I point the camera at one direction, and move to another, it lags. But if I repeatedly click my menu softkey button while moving my camera around, it doesnt lag at all. Does anyone know a fix to this? Thanks in advance!
oh and I restored back to the original ROM I had running which was the official htc's latest rom for the IncS and the camera works fine. no lag issues. Seems like when I flash AOSP roms, the camera lags. help?
I find any AOSP rom has laggy camera in low light
When I take it to better lighting conditions the lag goes away
You're not alone mate
I think it has something to do with trying to take in as much light as possible when there is not enough
@markj338 yeah I actually thought that that might be a possible reason to its horrible lag, so I took it outside this afternoon at around 12pm. It was bright but still the lag was there. And just to be clear, its no ordinary lag. It's like if i point at one place, it shows that place, but when I move my camera away, it waits for around 10 seconds before it shows that place. If you get what I'm trying to say here.. Sorry for the horrible english. But yeah.. that's the problem :/ thanks anyway appreciate it.
Oh mine only lags a bit
When I move, the image will be slow and distorted and will take its time to focus
But not 10 secs, mine is like less than 1, its just choppy and distorted
I'm on CM 7.2
Mine could probably be classified as 'ordinary lag'
Like if you were using a crappy low range phone
What rom are you using, and does this happen in all lighting conditions?
@markj338 well right now im back on my sense rom. the official one. I restored. But I tried miui's rom, cm7.2 and the camera's the same. When I click the menu button repeatedly, then it's ok. but if i dont click anything, it lags a lot....... so yea
Strange.
But I do find the sense camera to be the best
Running the T-Mobile with the latest Revolution rom. Noticed when I turne down the sharpness on the camera the pictures look 100 times better. The focus of my picture still looks great, and the surrounding area is far far far less grainy... Anyone mess with any of these settings?
sharpnes
i always use sharpnes -1..
By the way still on stockrom..
