This bionic camera in my opinion is terrible. I have done the research...tried multiple third party apps and I can't find something to get clear photos or to where I can tap a specific spot on screen to focus on that specific spot... Any help is appreciated.

Try HDR Camera +
I tried it out and it force closes the gallery every time I take a picture.

Instead of tapping, you can drag the square in the middle to the area you want it to focus on.
Have you tried Camera Advance? Here is the market link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite&feature=search_result There is also a paid versions too. Hope this helps
I tried it out, found out camera 360 has a touch to focus option, seems to be doing good, I miss the HTC camera lol..

Can you clarify for me how the "touch to focus" feature differs from the method I mentioned with dragging the square? I've heard a lot of complaints about not being able to "touch to focus" but I figured it was the same.
Same thing but instead of dragging a square you just tap the screen in the area you want it to focus on

I have tried most camera apps on the market. With the newly released flickr app comes with a camera. This thing is pretty solid. slow but still solid. I prefer this over the blur camera. Mind you it has less option than most camera apps, however they can only improve with later versions.

What's the deal with camera360 only showing half screen? Is there a setting I'm missing that makes it full screen or so I have to buy the full version?

Full version does the same thing to me its not made for qHD is my guess maybe im wrong tho
Hey...figured it out. Download spare parts from the market. Uncheck the "comparability mode" box and that fixes it.

SWEET had this already but didn't know it was ticked, this is awesome much better, but yeah this app is great for our camera, i seem to get great photos and fast focusing
Sooo, I've been very disappointed with the camera like most of u... That is until I realized a really awesome feature that dramatically improves quality & speed:
==> hold down the shutter button until u are ready to snap a picture and it will instantly take the pic with great quality. This is a trick I stole from my days of taking pictures with a point & shoot camera!
Hope this helps - I've even tested this in the dark and it works perfect on Auto.

Tip from Moto forum
24. Oct 2, 2011 4:41 PM (in response to scottay)
Re: Camera! Please fix it!
I have some GOOD news about the stock camera, after fussing with it for more than a few hours (and after uninstalling my Vignette app)...
Try this (but don't expect it to take rapid-fire photos - it's stilll a phone camera). The results for me were pretty good, relative to what I was getting before.
In the stock camera options:
Check - store on SD card (not internal storage)
Mode: Choose the "hand" - steady
Move the brightness slider SLIGHTLY to the right (brighter)
Use autoflash only when you definitely want flash. Otherwise, turn it off when there's enough light. The flash tends to wash out colors.
AND most important - I had to learn the hard way - aim at your subject and wait until the white corner square turns into a full square - and then turns green. Most already know you can move the square with your finger to the part of the photo you want the rest of the photo based on. When the box is green, though, the camera has focused and adjusted the exposure to what you are aiming at. THEN, click the photo.
This takes more time than it should, but at least it works. Experiment with other modes besides "auto," which seems to deliver less than mediocre.
I got some pretty impressive results from this combination. Much better, at the least, than my first attempts.

Just wanting to know what you all think. Not too much discussion going on here about them. I've used them all, good experiences. Pro, cons, whatever. I personally like the stock .230 leak. I find the smart actions very nice. Also like the app drawer with the different groups.

Personally, I like the 230 update... plan on updating to 232 soon, but holding off because every time I flash, another one comes out.
I'm not one for flashing nightly roms, but I've been itching to try CM9
Yeah I am a little hesitant about flashing .232. But I think it's good news that these leaks keep showing up.
I used the CM9 from the .2233 leak and wasn't overly impressed. I feel AOKP has more options. But these Moto leaks are just so nice in my taste.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I prefer AOKP but there are still some issues with it such as static in the Bluetooth. I have 2 phones on me all day at work and the use of a headset is a must. I am on stock .232 with Apex, init.d, and pull down toggles. I have pulled all the bloat and system crap that I don't ever use. There isn't really much at all running in the background. I have pulled some init.d scripts from different roms to speed things up more but not sure which one I'm going to use yet. As soon as AOKP has the BT issue fixed I will be flashing it though.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do you get the pulldown toggles on the stock rom?

I stayed on the .232 leak for a couple days, enjoyed the new "Blur" but there were just a couple thing i didn't like. The launcher was alright a little prehistoric compared to today's standards with Apex and especially Nova being so fast and smart. Not being able to change the Lockscreen shortcuts aggravated me but overall the Lockscreen with its separate Camera, Phone, Messaging, Sound settings, and Lock is nice.
But after I flashed CM9 i wont look back. You can customize everything, there is shortcuts to everything, its very responsive, and Cyanogenmod Team really made there stock applications wonderful. You can tell they took there time in making everything run smoothly and look great as well.
So i would go with CM9 especially Axiobeam.06_TARGA. Thats what i flashed and i love it. It includes alot of extras worth having.
I'm currently on 232 and love it. Tried AOKP and CM9, and while they are both solid, they both lack one CRUCIAL feature- Webtop.
Since I am addicted to my Lapdock, I'm staying with Stock ICS until a good rom comes along with a working Webtop.
Not a big deal though since stock ICS is pretty damned-near perfect.
The CM9 u tried, was it the unofficial one ported by dhacker29?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
While I do love the features of CM9, there are small things that I really like about the Bionic ICS, like the text app. I like the black background versus the white of CM9/AOKP. I haven't toyed around with Apex enough to know its potential, but I have no complaints about the stock launcher.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I've flashed 2231, 2233, and now 232, and all of them have had constantly high CPU and RAM usage, making my phone painfully slow to use. However, on the AOKP ICS-leak builds I had no such slowdowns (despite other bugs), with almost all of the same apps installed.
Has anyone else experienced poor performance with the stock leaks?
Occasionally I notice the slow downs, but have definitely noticed the high cpu usage, even after switching governors.

So I've been using AOKP for a few days and noticed the light behind the capacitive buttons never shuts off. Even when the screen is off they just dim. Any ideas for a fix, or is that part of the ROM?

You really only need to ask the question once in a given forum. But honestly I haven't noticed in on either the ICS leaks I've used.
EDIT:
Actually I just noticed it but I think it is as designed. If my phone is locked, not just screen timed out, and I have an unlock pattern (probably pin too) the status bar does not open. If the screen is timed out the status bar can be pulled open.
Not sure, and don't see why it would be a deal breaker. Currently using AOKP with no problems at all.

Only thing that's turning me away from cm9, AOKP or even liquid is the crt animation is down towards the bottom of the screen and when I scroll from screen to screen is glitchy unlike the ics leak

Yeah that was bothering me so I turned CRT off. I just recently installed CM10 and its nice aside from the lack of camera. Definitely very promising.

Gave the xt925 version a quick go on the atrix hd and everything looked great. The only thing I noticed was the baseband version was different (I'm guessing something with the modem) and so lost LTE on T-Mobile. Went into 4636 settings to make sure LTE/gsm was selected but it only liked edge. Tried reflashing the stock radio and it will didn't change the baseband. Flashed my backup rom and it had the right baseband version and LTE was back. Any idea as to what I need to do to get back LTE?

I believe that is an issue with the latest Play Store update. Although it hasn't happened on my RAZR, it does happen on my N7.
Since im posting... How does one turn off the charging LED? I went through setting multiple times but haven't come across it yet.

How did you manage to build this? I checked the site and it only said how to build for supported devices (I don't believe RAZR HD is supported).

Been using this one since my Driod 1. Lets you use screen or LED and seems to be very lightweight (would have posted the actual link, but I never really posted to XDA... just mainly read. Need to get rid of the stupid post restriction)
I use the flashlight in Power Toggles. I keep a set of toggles on a lock screen widget (WiFi, sound mode, Bluetooth, flashlight, GPS) and the flashlight is one of them.

TeslaLed, you can set a widget with it that automatically turns it on. It also has strobe options I believe. But it also works great with Tasker as it is built in as a plugin or 3rd party options. I exported an app with Tasker App Factory so I can activate it via voice as well.
