Kind Of New

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

[Q] Camera blurry after 2.2 ROM (serendipity 6.3)

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?

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!!

When im installing sense based roms (tried 3) then the quality and focus/exposure is good again.

This is a issue on all aosp roms because they don't have HTC camera drivers. However there is a aosp ics rom called virtuous quattro 4.0.3 that doesn't have camera lag however its not fully working.

God damn it I love this question.

Thats really the biggest weak point of aosp.
The roms are just great!, i like miui alot!
But the downside is the cam,
I've not seen this question somewere else, is it that only the ins suffers the most?
Other cam apps wont bother.
I just want best of both worlds together.
The cam of htc rulezz and interface and possibilities of miui rulezz.
(With MIUI i get 3200quadrant
and 3750 antutu oc stable on 1.5)

All HTC phones run crap camera rez without sense

My CM7 seems decent quality with no lag?

[Q] Which camera app is closest to stock's?

Hello guys. I just flashed Virtuous Quattro's ICS ROM and after playing around with it I realized that the camera has a bit of a problem ( tho I knew it did from the forums ) and I was just wondering which camera apps which are out on the market is the best for taking good pictures. I've tried Camera360, FxCamera but it's not really satisfying. ( Could be because I came from a sense ROM although I prefer AOSP builds but sense cameras are just really good )
If possible can anyone name me a few camera apps I could try out? One that can focus manually if there is an app that does that. THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS!

Here are a few I have tried - Ucam, lgCamera, CameraMX and Pudding Camera.. They are all pretty decent.

amaze camera is greate

camerazoomfx and vignette(good post processing)

[Q] Front camera on slim bean

Hey !
So I've been using slim bean on my p880 for a while (I like it, it's clean, simple, and doesnt eat much battery/hour). There's only one thing I dislike about it : The front facing camera is dark as hell - it really sucks in environments with low light levels and with movement. But I remember that when I used the stock rom, in the beginning , the camera used to have much better performance in places with low light levels, even though there was still some trouble dealing with pictures requiring focusing moving objects.
Anyway, I wanted to know if this problem was only with this rom or with all major cm roms out there for p880 , and if there's some sort of fix for this. I love this rom and my gf likes playing on it and taking pictures with it, and they sometimes totally suck due to this. Help ?

front camera is green with that one i think
if you're talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288917

Slim is on grouper blobs then? If so, afaik mowt camera apps will also give green screen on frontal cam preview. Google camera and aosp camera are the only ones that will give normal preview on frontal as well
