Camera quality fix!!!

I simply couldnt stand how poor the picture quality was on my new bionic, so i started exploring ways to make them batter. And im happy to report, I did! I got an application from the market called camera zoom fx, and i promise you, the picture quality is like day and night, so it IS NOT, a hardware issue, its definitely a software issue. you can even change the location it saves the pics to so they save to the camera roll in your gallery just like the stock blur camera app, and you can set it as your default camera. below i have to example pictures i took under low lighting with the flash on. See for yourselves, but since this application has now been rought to everyones attention, i hope we dont have to hear about how ****ty our camera is in all the threads anymore... this is proof the camera isnt bad, the software it uses is... If you have any questions on how to setup the app or anything else, post here or PM me...

A $5 fix
But yes, this is a good app, and definitely proves that it isn't a hardware limitation.

I like Camera 360 alot, its what I've been using to shoot.
I use the HDR(Heavy) feature alot, make stuff look, better.

Is really worth I mean I found version 2.5 for free in internet and really not too good for the $5 but maybe im wrong since latest version is 3.1.4

I found a 3.0.2v on the internet and it was not as good as the stock 1 on the bionic, it was infact worse, so for me i will be using the stock cam app from the bionic, but thanks for sharing

I find that the AOSP camera takes pictures 150% better that the blur based one... this is why I am going to include that as the default camera app in Liberty

MIUI camera works quite well if you're rooted...very fast focus and great pics.

i dont know about aosp, but i know that i couldnt find any 3rd party camcorder apps, and the videos on the stock app look just as horrible as the pics when watching them on the phone, but when theyre hooked up to the tv via hdmi they look really great... audio is a lil too sensitive though, if theres a light breeze it sounds like your in the middle of a frickin tornado.. lol

That's kind of why I'm afraid of touching any camera but the blur one...because often times the camcorder doesn't make use of the noise canceling mics, doesn't do HD quality, and doesn't work with the FFC.

So the camcorder doesn't work on this all, either? Wish I would have known this before the refund period ended

With camera zoom fx I can't video record when I click video take me to the stock camera app
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

Camera360 just blows this stock camera away.
I was in a dark room and got 100% focus on items that the stock camera couldn't and wouldn't touch.
Not very stable but I'd rather have great pictures instead of blurry **** quality. I don't have a doubt that the Bionic will gain some attention of the developer and they'll be able to fix the camera sometimes FC..
I spent the first two weeks on trying to get this camera to take a decent picture in low light and the results were never that great. Took one photo with Camera360 and it was a night and day difference.

thats cause its not a video recorder, its only a camera, so yes, when u click it, its gonna direct you to the stock app.

I purchased this a long time ago, and I'm glad that I'm finally using it.

upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus

Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?

I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

Yes..
In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.

I love it too，i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:

I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

result is the final picture is blurry, and details lost although its tries to focus. its not just the visual part, seems to be a combo

I have CM7 nighties, so there is camera app, so you suggest me to use that app for filming? It film pretty good, but I am able to film just 30 in HD quality. can I extend that time? like one hour or two hours?
I tried LG camera pro app. it has a lot of options to capture picture and capture video. But I notice that when I capture video auto focus is not working, not on lg camera pro and no on camcorder (stock cm7) , just focused at beggining and then no focus ;( could it be cm7 bug?

It's not a bug of cm7 is a bug of the app.. However are you sure that with stock camera you can register up to 30 minutes?

i really ot tested but in quality section is written HD (30m)

Those written have nothing to do with the maximum recording time, the only limit is the free memory in your device

For autofocus I don't know.. maybe is a cm bug, you should expect a fix for your rom or flash a stable version (7.2)

[Q] Pink spot on photos

With ICS my photos end up with a pink/redish sphere in the middle of the photo.
With GB no!
I have view same problem on others phones (Sansung Note, Galaxy II), all have ICS!!
I think the problem is in google camera's code
Does anyone else experience this?

I experienced that also in cm10 camera but mine is purple color even on focus/out-of-focus
I think it's in the flash because i tried to take photos with and without flash
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2

I have downgrade my phone to GB and the photo back to normal, i try to install GB camera on ICS but it's fail.

Of course it will fail we need to wait someone to modified cm10/ics camera
I think it's over exposure because of the flash
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2

It could be the heat from the CPU which is causing this.

No, i haven't any problems with gingerbread, it's a bug software!

I have the same issue, and I would agree with you, because the problem is evident with any of the 6 different camera apps I tried, not just a stock ICS camera. It looks like some OS component providing the sensor data to a camera app is buggy. I am not a developer, so I have no idea what part of code that would be, but to my understanding camera apps don't talk to hardware directly...
And, BTW, this issue has nothing to do with flash overexposure, as previously suggested, because it's clearly visible on photos taken without flash...
Edit: Forgot to add one thing that I find a bit weird... In my case, this "pink spot" is only visible on photos taken in average natural light (like on a cloudy day, i.e. not bright). However, if I take pictures in a bright sunlight, or under artificial lighting (incandescent or CFL), or with flash, they turn our great, with no such artefacts. Go figure...

I tried other phones with ics and seems to be a common problem in low light, does not happen with sunlight.
Should compare the code jni between gingerbread and ics, i think.
I'm a Java developer but i'm develop j2ee/flash web applications.

Nexus 4.0 Camera on Xperia z

Hi there,
I am fine with the camera, except the panorama mode. Ive seen Panorama modes on Samsung devices. its much better. specially the sphare 360 thingy for nexus 4.
Is there a way we could get that working in xperia z? I saw someone made it up for Motorola...
Thanks.

Sweep panorama works just fine, good detail as well.
It works better in good light, btw.

5 out of ten I get, "please move slower" or "please move faster" and also you cant stoop when eveer you want you have to keep going to the end.
You should see the ones on Samsung and you will agree. I never had a problem with those. took awesome pictures.

Photo sphere (360 thing you mentioned from nexus 4) is nexus ONLY. If you want that, buy a nexus. Theres probably an app or would be one day that replicates it.
Coming from a galaxy s 2 I'd say the panorama mode on the XZ absolutely dominates the S2. Can't comment on the successors to the s2 though.

Whatvtypebof answer is that? If i like a software on a phone i should go buy a it? Lol
Its a software smartie, with making a few adjustments, you should be able to run it on not only z, but any phone with android and gravity sensors.
And i had s 2 lte which is a lot different than s2. Its a 1.5 dual core. Z kicks its ass in every aspect, but panaramic mode sucks.
Just the fact that u cant stop when u want is annoying enough, let alone the speed problem...

I see, so it seems that it has been ported around indeed. For a long time every cm dev and his dog have been forever repeating themselves that it is nexus only site to sources or proprietary. I guess something has changed since then, my bad.
I really can't understand what is happening with you and your device to be having such a bad experience with the camera though. My one is far simpler smoother and faster than any phone I've seen using it (Motorola milestone 2, desire HD, s2, EVO 3d and most recently iPhone 5)
My camera did go all crappy in the first week and I had to clear the app data to get it working properly again, maybe it's worth a shot?
