hi, I've justupdate my tab to 2.3.3. every things's great but front camera...
when it was2.2 the front camera was quite good ; less noise, bright etc.
but after flash to GB (that google said it will support front camera) it became very bad.
Is there a way to use camera.apk from2.2 instead?

hmm... hardware related or software?
anyone else effected?
i haven't upgrade mine, so i wouldn't know
I concur. The camera is garbage after 2.3.3.. makes me want to go back to 2.2, actually.. I WILL BE going back to 2.2

Hello all so I just moved from the Wing to the T-mobile G1 and I have modded my G1 to The Dudes latest rom I believe RC1.3 or something similar but I noticed the camera quality got worst from the regular rooted Firmware which modded rom has the Best camera and video quality
Thanks

Roms won't have any effect on the quality of the camera. Maybe it was poor lighting or something. Did you wipe before loading the rom?
There are only two types of camera software that could possibly affect picture quality.
TheDude uses the HTC camera (which imo takes better photos) and then theres the stock camera. If you want the stock camera, you probably will have to use JF's ROM. Most of the other ROM's have the HTC Camera app
ah ok thanks because i took sum photos in the house with stock camera the pics we're looking crisp but i haven't gone outside with the HTC camera app for lighting i will check it out it will most likely stay due to the features included
I use the HTC camera . I think it's better, zoom FTW!
Lol i found the problem the stupid back cover was dirty i used windex cleaned it out its better now. Does any recommend cutting that plastic off
I wouldnt recomend doing that. It will expose the camera to more dust and the elements
The stock camera app that comes with the captivate sucks. Is there an app that you guys like that is better? Images from the stock camera are flat and look bad.

are you kidding? the galaxy s phones get great reviews on the image quality. well i think its not the app itself, but the firmware. some roms i have used take out of focus pictures, ji6 froyo was the worst. it has been too long since i have used a stock rom to remember if the stock pictures were good or not. now im using eugenes gingerclone and it is great as long as you tap to focus before you snap the picture, other roms were perfect. but im about to try jpy, i hope the pictures come out good.
All the pictures I take look like crap, and the audio on videos is basically static and garble.
maybe you dont have the quality up all the way
HI All,
I realize there are some other threads on this topic but not for captivate running 2.2...
I just installed the new Serendipity rom (6.3) which i'm pretty sure uses the 'hacked stock camera' with power button mod.
Unfortunately, the camera images are all noticeably blurry! no matter how still i hold it. Also, the exposure is often way off.
The old camera app from 2.1 worked great. Really nice sharp, good exposure.
What happened to the 2.2 camera, and is it possible to fix, or revert back to 2.1 camera app??
I'm a bit new to this so sorry if noob question. I did check the other threads and nothing was similar/answered.
Thanks in advance.
Having the sane problem myself. Almost as if the camera is only taking 2 or even 3MP quality shots.

are you guys tapping on the screen to focus the picture? and wipe the lens on the back?
yes.
yes, i've carefully wiped screen and focused as precisely as possible.
Download SGS Tools,v4.7.3 its the one you need. Under upgrade stock apps, select GizmoDroids camera. See if that helps out any.

thanks for this info!
I installed the GizmoDroids camera and it seems like a slight improvement. it also seems much faster to load. have yet to test the video. Still, some bothersome issues with the GD camera app... the exposure compensation is 'greyed out'? Here's a big problem: the sharpness and contrast settings don't 'stick'. They are reset every time app is run. This is huge problem to me because i find that +1 contrast and sharpness really improves image, but i cant have to set it every time i run the app...
also, i've tried out camera360 and it looks much better too. i'm wondering if the blurriness in the stock camera has to do with the autofocus being 'off', or the compression method has changed.
Is this a problem with Serendipity only, or have you experienced out with other roms?
Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
I noticed this too; but the image quality is fine when transferred to another device such as a computer...
You guys might want to post this in the Serendipity Q&A mikey and chance are usually pretty quick to reply, maybe you should try and re-flash
I have been on Serendipity since 5.8 and have not had any issues with the camera or anything else- ROM runs perfectly for me of course as with most things on the captivate may just be device specific.... But a re-flash has helped others with issues so it might be worth a try
BTW I have not installed any camera apps either and camera is fine
My camera works great!!

i got my note last week and have playing with it and loved it...i previously have s2 but since i saw note in the mall...i have fallen in love with it
but somethings bothering me..
before i take a pic ...it was clear perhaps hd but after taking the picture and
i look the the gallery ... the pictue look maybe a little dark...or dim
maybe a setting will fix this ?
and lag in waking up? about 2-3 ?
thx for the help pips
I think this is the nature of this camera. When we try shoot a pic the visual which we see in display is before image processing after click image sensor do some modification to the image and it delivers to gallery. So probably this is not a defect or problem... its designed like that..and i don't think samsung phones are known for good quality shooter. No offense.
are you using the stock camera? i have noticed that other camera apps works much better compared to the stock one, my favorite is camera zoom fx, paid app though, for me it gives better pictures compared to the stock one. there are plenty of good free ones out there too. have a look around the play store =]
It's a brightness difference. When you load the stock camera the phone brightness goes really high (you can even make it brighter by switching outdoor visibility on). After taking a picture and going to gallery, you're screen goes back to original brightness that's why it looks dim/blurred but it's not.

You are right.. Stock camera app is little bad.. Evn though if we are using another good app finally lens and image sensor matters.. I don't think samy is using better lens than Carl zies or something. I would say samy and HTC are little poor compared to nokia's and son's lens (of thinking they both use same lenses). This is upto my knowledge.. Correct me if am wrong.
Hi All,
I have a Note N-7000. I got it just a few weeks before ICS roll out. The Camera behaves weird and now its not the same as it was in 2.3.
daylight photos are okay but low light photos are really thumbs down and a lot of Red-Eye.
I still have photos before and after update and I can see quality of photos degrading after that!!!
Is Every1 having similar opinions or do I need any other settings to better the quality of photos??
Need you opinion...
Camera on ICS AND JellyBean is Better than on GingerbREAD
I still feel that camera quality has degraded in ICS..is your note also a GT N-7000??
Everyones note there is a GT-N7000....would be really weird if the folks who use the american Note were hanging out here.....
But no, I've not noticed it and the camera in the JellyCore ROM (JellyBean rom) is better than the GB one

Personally i found the camera on cm9 based roms disappointing .. Sure its faster but quality is not as same as tw based roms.

We'll my brother has the I717 and comparing my N7000 to his, I'd say the cam resolution is much more cleaner and sharp as compared to mine.. Though I can't say if this is ROM related or so.... he has CM10 installed and I have the (self modified) LRQ one. Not that it matters though.
exactly the same thing I observed that the indian note camera's quality's degraded than thew others..I see a lot of red-eye too when i use flash..is there any setting for removing that or any update or something that would better the quality..??
