[Q] Problem with 3rd party camera apps: Preview image is turned by 90 degrees

Hi community,
I've got a strange problem with most of the 3rd party camera apps on my Ace (GT-S5830i)
When using the default camera app everything worls just fine but when trying to use a different one like camera 360 or Pro HDR camera the preview image is turned by 90 degrees and the image looks somewhat stretched. The results look normal though (if I manage to turn the camera the right way around).
So the question is, has anyone else had the same Problem? Is there a solve for this?
Custom ROMs are no option because there are no working ones for the GT-S5830 with the I behind ;-)
One thing I just recognized: The Apps barcode scanner and barcoo are working properly.

Yes, i have the same problem, my celphone is the s5830m, this phone have a lots of problems, the games 3d dont work in this model. Sorry for my english

Me too
Same here GT-S5830C... some1 can help us?? Maybe is some secret configuration.. lol :cyclops:

[Q] TP configurations for camera apps

From reading this forum, good work is being put in to achieving a well functioning camera on TouchPad with Android. But on which TP configurations do some camera apps currently work okay?
I am using TP with JB 4.1.2 by Oat and stock camera as suggested by Sstar (post #118 in the thread for this ROM in the TP Development forum). Thanks to both. The stock camera can take photos. Video works in Skype. But the stock camera messes up video recordings and the camera does not work in stop-motion apps, which is my biggest issue. I tried three stop-motion apps and they could not detect the camera or showed a black screen.
Any suggestions of configurations well suited for camera apps?

If you tell me or give me a link for the app or apps you're having a problem with I will have a play and try it with the JB+ camera that I bought to see if that makes a difference .
Regards

Pardon my delayed followup. Apps tested:
Stop-Motion Lite
Stop Motion Maker Komaori Lite
Lapse It Lite
Any help much appreciated...

[APP] PixelMaster app for AOSP like builds (fully functionnal exept video recording)

Hello,
I'm glad to share with you the second version of my mod, the app now supports all modes, including manual mode, and slow motion mode.
Only video recording is not working, it has a problem with audio recording which stops the camera, sorry but I can't continue the investigation as I will change the smartphone tomorrow, now I have to flash stock rom.
If someone want to continue the developpement, please PM me and I will show him the files that I modified.
Have a good day,

Good Job!

Aah..!! Thats really great.. Will try out soon once I go back to slimLP

I am on PA and it works great. Thanks for looking into this.

The video rec is not working on unmodified PixelMaster app, I tried to solve it but I couldn't, there is a problem with audio recording.

Works well on the Resuurection Remix, but does not save photos on a memory card, do not even have this choice in the settings. Only on the internal memory

Added to index, thanks for your work!

Hi nice worke. Just want to report a bug. In Cyanogen 12.1 Version 01.09. the Panorama function keeps crashing. Keep up your good work!

Keep up the good work bro, i really like pixel cam from the stock asus. But it's really hard to find good pixel master camera for custom rom.

As I said in this thread, I can't continue the development, I don't have the zenfone anymore. Sorry,

Sidenote: You can select slowmo mode, but it doesn't actuall record in slow motion.

Thank you for this. I will use a seperate app to record videos.

Thank you for your sharing. It had features that make people love using it
what are the differences between V1 and V2?

Manual Mode not working is because Android Lollipop Camera2 API isn't implemented properly. Can't be solved by modifying this apk. Only can be solved when your rom implement the api

Front Camera Video P20 Overexposed / Soft

Hi
Will Huawei fix the overexposed soft image quality of the selfie camera on this phone.
I am still on 8.1.0.103 and wondering if its been fixed in one of the newer updates as it is really disappointing

Not sure they think it's broken, it was obviously designed to do this on purpose. I know a lot of people that use beauty mode. It is rather annoying though as it can't be disabled for those that don't want to be enhanced to Ken doll like proportions lol
If you hit the photo mode rather than the default portrait mode for front camera it does help a bit. Definitely better than portrait mode. I do hope that a future update will add more control over the processing, but I won't bank on it.

I've tried many different camera apps, and the overexposure and softening occur as soon as the camera detects a face. Haven't been able to find a solution yet.

im 99% sure it can be disabled with root - its got to be a setting that detects faces.
we;d need someone to go through the source (if they ever release it)
once i root my p20 ill stalk around to try and find a property.

Sorry, i dont have phone yet. But, if you use some other camera application, will it be the same problem?

Its definitely a setting built into the kernel/source code because using another camera app will not override the setting. It only focuses on the subject (face) and blurs out the background which should not be the case

I have rooted P20 pro, and there is a ton of properties and definitions xml files for different modes and effects in odm/camera folder. For example there is something called "casiobeauty" among others But, to mess with those parameters someone has to have knowledge. So, i guess effects can be modified, if there ever will be someone of knowledge and will to do it

You all may want to install CameraMX from PlayStore.
It gives out high resolution and high qualoty images. Selfies taken by it are noticeably sharper than the p20 pro stock camera. Also, there is a slider to adjust exposure for the front cam (something that is missing from the stock). In addition, the app also supports HDR for the selfie cam as well.
You can give it a try...

What region? I am currently using the .120 for C636 but there is still the annoying overexposure and lack of details esp in groufies

You all might want to use the CameraMX app... I use it on all my selfies now. Ive compared it with the stock front cam and it's way way way better. See for yourself...

Uploaded the wrong photos the last time sorry..
For the photos below, the washed out one is taken with the front camera native app. The better one is with cameraMX app.
Note: No editing done, same lighting condition, almost the same hand position, same angle.
It is very evident that the native camera app is washed out/overexposed.
Well, the CameraMX photo isnt perfect but for me, it is 80% better than the stock camera.

Hi - Is everyone certain this is a SW issue? I don't know a ton about cameras but is it possible there are defective front facing cameras on a bunch of these devices?

Hi, I'm pretty much sure it's a software issue as the original photo can look so much better when you edit it. And, you can also use other camera apps

There is a workaround on the overexposed p20 front camera images using the Google Photos Editor App
(I've read it from another XDA thread).
The results are stunning! It's almost as if the photos were taken using an actual Google Pixel front camera! (In my opinion)
I suppose the image enhancement algorithm for the Google Photos app is similar to the image post-processing of Google Pixel phones.
Note: Google Photos is commonly preinstalled along with Gmail, Hangouts, GMaps.
Step 1 - Snap a selfie using the native app
Step 2 - Preview the photo and click the (...) at the bottom right
Step 3 - Click Advanced Edit ---> Select Google Photos
Step 4 - Select the second icon next to the filters menu.
You will find 3 sliders (Light, Color, and Pop)
Step 5 - Slide Pop all the way up, as well as Color.
You may tweak the settings more for Color and Light too!
(There are more options when you expand it)
Step 6 - Click Save.
Find sample photos below:

Just got a P20 Pro and this is seriously my biggest hate with this phone! The rest is great (except my google pay not working) but the front camera makes me look like a ghost on any image!

I'm on update 128 and the front camera still overexposed.

Question Xiaomi Mi 11 Camera problem

Hello everyone
Got myself Xiaomi Mi 11 but the camera really suc*.
Taking pictures using the main 27MP (108MP) of people faces is a pain and when zooming the photos i see loss of fine details and in most cases faces come out underexposed or out of focus (same issue with S20 Ultra).
Even tap to focus not really helpful.
On the other hand taking photos of objects with or without Ai not showing the issue.
Anyone else facing the same?

Have this issue like you.

truly odd, if im using the Pro Mode without changing any values the image quality is better, not perfect but better

You need to use GCam
