I wanted to create a thread specifically for showing pictures taken with either the Desire Camera ported to the Nexus, or the stock camera app. In my opinion, the desire camera takes better pictures, even if very slightly. But who knows? And maybe we can learn something from each other about how to take better pictures with this awesome phone?
Please put along with your photos:
Camera (Desire or Stock)
Lighting source (indoors/outdoors)
Megapixel level
ISO Level
Changes in brightness/contrast/saturation/sharpness or any relevant settings
Focus (Auto/Off/Tap to Focus)
White Balance
Any other settings changed from default, or relevant information.
Pens at my work
After clicking on link, Right click on picture and hit View Image in Firefox (and whatever is the equivalent method in IE and other browsers)
Desire Camera
Indoor lighting
5 Megapixel level
ISO 100
Tap to Focus (on yellow marker)
Auto White Balance
I should really do some comparison shots, Ive got a stock N1 I can get my hands on, 720p'ed rooted custom etc N1, a stock desire and a froyo'ed desire
I compared the stock camera and the one that comes with CM RC3 and it turns out that both have almost same output. Camera360, however, does a pathetic job sometimes. The night mode (and the enhance contrast mode) on Camera360 does a *brilliant* job though.

What camera comes with CM RC3?
How is this in the QandA section? This isn't a question! Mods please move it back to general!
[MOD] Stock camera mod LG GB V20e/i/j/l: No shutter sounds & improved Pic/Vid quality
Hi folks,
I modded the stock LG Camera-app and implemented new features.
Every improvement (except 16:[email protected]) is working seamlessly with this mod. Please find the list of improvements below.
I also included the "media_profiles.xml" in the package.
V1.0 is based on V20e and can be used up to V20e.
V2.x is based on V20l and can be used from V20i onwards.
Please find the modded camera apps attached to this post. Enjoy!
Installation Instructions:
Flash the attached zip with CWM ("install zip from sd-card" --> "choose zip from sd-card").
I modded the following (in every version of the mod):
Disabled shutter & AF sounds (picture & video) - timer sounds are still enabled (on purpose --> no change!)
Increased preview fps to 40 (--> reduced page tearing)
Picture quality:
Set normal picture quality to 80 (= 20% compression)
Set fine picture quality to 90 (= 10% compression)
Set superfine picture quality to 100 (= 0% compression)
Video quality 1080p:
Set FPS from 24 to 30 (varies a little, similar to stock LG app)
Set normal video quality from 5Mbps to 7Mbps (= fine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 7Mbps to 12Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 9Mbps to 17Mbps
Video quality 720p:
Set normal video quality from 2Mbps to 4Mbps (= superfine in stock LG app)
Set fine video quality from 3Mbps to 9Mbps
Set superfine video quality from 4Mbps to 14Mbps
Additional changes in the V2.x (V20l) mod are the following:
Changed 5MP picture resolution to 6MP 16:9 (3264 x 1840) - Implemented additional preview setting logic; AR not correct yet! trying to fix it.
Increased video bit rate for VGA (improves esp. quality of videos recorded by the front cam):
- Superfine from 1.5 Mbps to 5 Mbps
- Fine from 1.2 Mbps to 3 Mbps
- Normal from 768 kbps to 1.5 Mbps
Persistent flash mode setting (i.e. last flash mode is being saved; default mode is off)
DCF compliance (adopted DCF requirements like directory- and filenames)
Storage path changed to "DCIM/CAMERA/" (DCF compliant)
Removed closing/ not starting on low battery (still shows a toast to remind you on your low charge though)
Shutter-sound menu adjusted/ fixed (only option now: "Off")
Several changes in German translations
Modded further resources
Additional changes in V2.1:
Increased video bit rate for 1080p:
- Superfine: 20Mbps
- Fine: 17Mbps
- Normal: 12Mbps
Increased audio bit rate to 128kbps for 1080p and 720p
Increased audio sampling rate to 44.1kHz for 1080p and 720p
Persistent focus mode setting (focus mode is being saved)
Persistent GPS setting (GPS mode is being saved)
Music keeps on playing (removed auto-pause music on app start)
Implemented ODEX fix for odexed roms (Camera.odex is being deleted automatically)
Fixed DCF compliance for video filenames (missing underscore)
ToDo:
Fix AR for 16:9 @ 6MP
Adjust preview size for 16:9 pictures
Optimize code for better performance
The rest is still stock.
PS:
1. If you have a darker icon for your camera app, then update script worked like it should!
2. If this is useful for you, hit the "Thanks" button on the lower right!
3. If you cook this mod in your rom, please give proper reference to this thread in the list of included features and in your change log!
yeaaaaaaaaaaah, thank you very much
Froyo compatible?
Installed it succesfully on 20e, but i can not see any difference in quality. Blown up the fotos taken before and after the mod, but no difference at all.
What should be the improvement, i ask myself.
Main differences are on video mode. Original LG couldn't take very high quality/bitrates video in high resolutions...
Very nice thing to have this plus stock features as panoramic images for example (not present in CM 7).
Great and fast job!!!

No. For Froyo you can use somemadcaaant's mod.

If you compare just few pics, you probably won't see a difference. But technically speaking there is quite a difference (jpeg compression i.e. picture quality was changed from 90 to 100 in superfine setting - if you're familiar with image editing of any sort, you know what I'm talking about). You can use fine/ normal quality to limit file sizes though.
Additionally picture quality is just one (small) part, video quality (incl. fps) and removed shutter & auto-focus sounds the other

Hi,
thanks for that mod!!
But i have a question. Is it possible to increase the fps for 720p for getting good slowmotions?
thx
@AndiCP
Is there a chance to add "touch to focus" in video recording ? or some autoF in camcorder?

I'll try that in the next few days, but I think it won't work due to limitation in the kernel (max fps=30, otherwise reverting to standard fps).

Let me see what I can do. Constant AF is not a target for me though, as the only effect would be AF-pumping (AF constantly analyzing the whole focus range to get the sharpest picture).
Possible future to do list:
-Option to pause video while recording, similar to Nokia N8 feature.
-Enhance tweak for Photo quality higher bitrate.
Is possible? Tks

And it could be very useful an option to take 16:9 pictures.
Nice work guys!
Further Development
Picture quality (in terms of compression) is maxed already.
Pause mode is not possible, because it is not implemented in the API (only start & stop are).
Same goes for a non-pumping AF during video recording (not supported by API).
But I have 16:9 format for pictures and a 60 FPS mode for 720p on my list
Let's see when I can find some time to play with it...I'll keep you updated.
question...will this mod work if i'm using a CM7 or should i use this with a stock rom ?

Great!!! Thx a lot!
Thanks! Working perfectly with the 20E version!
is it ok with v20c leak GB ? because i used Flair GB v3 rom atm..
update: tested already.. it's fine.. looks better for video as not lagging as before..
720p60 would be good, but 1080p24 would be very welcome too. And, I guess, easier to make
Thanks for this great Mod
The 16:9 will be amazing feature as it is a lot better to watch pics in 16:9 dipslay, which became a standard
The 720p at 60 fps will give some nice effects
Preview fps on stock camera is realy bad in low light , indoor bulbs etc on all C.roms and stock too ...
Same as when you turn on night in settings ( laggy with low fps ) auto settings .
When i set action,portret,landscape etc FPS back to normal and faster preview... anyone can confirm this or i must find my guarantee ?
And yes , on miui 10.8 and CM #150,149,148 etc , preview is smooth and normal ... ?? strange
Any idea ??
TNX
For god's sake .... 70 peoples read thread and no one post nothing ???
Anything , anyone .... what is it for Q&A anyway
Modded Camera
This is my modded version of the CM CameraNext app. I decided to share this because I have seen many people want to use the Color OS camera because of its low light performance. So far, I have implemented the 16 and 32 second shutter delay and I might add more later on.
•Requirements:
root if on cm11s to uninstall stock camera
your camera must support the slow shutter scene mode to use the shutter option. Otherwise it won't do anything.
Changelog:
V1
16 second shutter added
32 second shutter added
V2
disable extra shutter button
•Bugs:
Shutter option shows up twice
Use the second option
To use it, you must change the scene mode to "slow shutter" and then select the speed. If you don't have this scene available, then your camera does not support it and won't work.
I have attached sample images below taken with different shutter speeds (1/2, 1, 2, 8, 16, 32) and with an ISO of 100 at night. Feel free to let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions

Hi guys,I have this red magic 3 (the global version) and I want to use another camera app instead of the default one(but keeping the 4k 60 fps recording and the other camera specs)
I tried a modded Gcam port but it freezes when I try to open it and doesn't work
I want also clarify that I don't want to root my device but I need some sort of suggestions
Thanks
