[Q] inc s camera quality concern. - HTC Incredible S

I own an incredible s, stock 4.0.3 sense 3.6, the thing is that I feel the picture quality is degraded after the ics update, before the update I.e in gingerbread the cam was awesome pictures were mind blowing after the update there is a lot of noise also colours aren't rendered properly, is it just me or someone else has this problem?

I found it the same, using a stock rooted rom. But the sense 4 camera produces better pictures imo, so when you decide to root your phone that would be a good way to go

thanks

1.Yes, you need to S-OFF first using AlphaRevX and then you can root.
2.Its not up to its 8MP mark, the noise reduction is a lot in the camera, in other words, a 8MP picture on this phone is actually not a 8MP picture.My previous phone that had a 5MP sensor used to take far better pictures.
3.The battery life's great, if you use ARHD ROM it improves even further.
4.No, there is a wifi drop issue but that's with all gingerbread phones.

if your device comes with froyo, update it via OTA or more better is to make a gold card, download a RUU that supports AlphaRevX (WWE European) put it in it and flash via bootloader. Then you can use AlphaRevX to S-OFF.(You will find all such instructions in the android development category) Some new official ROM bases do not support AlphaRevX so it better to update via goldcard just to be safe.
Sense 3.0 ROM i.e Virtious Unity performs very good, doesn't lag at all, comes with a great kernel with OC on demand. I personally don't like sense and am on MIUI. You can give CM7 a try but the buttons won't rotate(not something of much concern, will probably be fixed in the next update) It would be stock vanilla android and you can customize it in any way you like plus it will perform very fast or you could try MIUI which is based on CM7. You could also try ARHD, its clean,fast and stable.

+1 for the amazing reply man . thnx a lot
So now i have made my mind that this phone is my next n first Android
I think its necessary that you should be knowing these 2 minor problems.
1.Back cover creeking, happens to only some people, can be fixed using a plastic tape or piece of paper placed inside. Its nothing to worry about.
2.If you view the rotatable buttons from one side, one will appear brighter than the others, the opposite if you view from the other side.Its probably because of the dual LCD button layers. Again not something of much concerns, if you see it straight, you wont notice. On my phone, I can partially see the landscape search button in portrait mode, it makes it look a bit weird.

Since you're in India, if you but this phone, you will have a Asian ROM so you would have to change to a european one in order to S-OFF. If you need any help later on, don't hesitate to ask.The guides are available in the development section that explain every step in detail.

[Q] [REQ] Fascinate camera

i'm loving all the new roms like cm7 or omfgb or vanilla gb. BUT im not liking the aosp camera included in any of them. too low of resolutions, at least in widescreen. also just missing a few other features i like.
is there a way to get the touchwiz/default/samsung camera installed onto any of the above listed roms? and if there is...could someone point me to where the needed apks/instructions are to install said camera?
thanks!

this; the froyo camera you were used to not only would take some work to make functional on gingerbread, it is touchwiz which multiplies that by 100. Remember how it took a really long time for jt to get the camera working on cm7? he had to rewrite drivers pretty much, you would have to essentially reverse engineer his work (I assume) to make froyo/touchwiz things work.
In the meantime, try out miui, they have a great camera with a lot of features like froyo did.

yes we didn't.
The IS was launched just one month before the Desire S, it did not get Sense 3.0 and has been abandoned by HTC because of which this is probably my last HTC phone.

Not sure I get your gripe, the phone is over a year old. It's time for you to take responsibility and flash it.
Let's forget about ICS for a while. According to our sources we have a sense 3.0 rom with 2.3.5. coming in December. I would be happy to grab that. I have a feeling that we are not gonna get an official ICS rom at all.
Don't want to flash. Been there, done that with my hd2 million times, there were always glitches and stupid bugs. Don't want to waste my time, warranty on custom roms on incS. Does a perfect bugfree out of the box like sense 3.0 rom exist for our device? Love the sense ui, so not big fan of cm.

Sense made my phone laggy and have terriable battery life. Why would I want that.
Cm7 is more like an iPhone. Battery is better although not quite as good as my friends iPhone 3gs that has 80% battery left at the end of the day on ios 5.
I agree. Why bother with official ROM's when year has passed - no warranty anyway. I get 5 days of battery life with CM7.

Sense is only good if you like getting loads of updates from Facebook.
we should be getting ICS update for sure ans some phones listed out by HTC are older versions than ours..also tried the ICS rom by galinet miui but somehow it does not go past the bootup screen..
Using cm nightlies and I don't see what the big deal is about ics... I'm not sure what else I want my phone to do that it doesn't do already. I can phone and text, send picture messages, browse the web, use torrent, watch movies, connect to a printer, feed other devices using the portable hotspot, play snes, nintendo, n64, sega, gameboy, game gear, take photos, record video in hd, use gps and navigation install any app I want and control my bell pvr while I'm taking a crap. What else is it I need?

that's one way of looking at it but i think you are missing the point. from what i've read, ics is supposed to enhance the android experience. in other words, add more polish and improve the look and the feel of the operating system. what you are referring to is hardware capabilities and app functionalities.
if I can have the same functionalities in a more polished package, I would at least want to give it a go.

that's a known bug with the new release. there's a workaround for that: you have to flash the weekly (non-ics) version first, let it boot up, reboot into recovery then flash the ics version on top. or you can just flash the previous release (v1.11.9). it's been flawless for me.

GPE 4.4 Camera: terrible picture quality

Hi there,
I installed the Kitkat RUU on my Htc One. The ROM itself is very smooth, but I have one very big problem: The Android stock camera takes quite bad photos. As long as I'm just focussing, the picture quality is as fine as always. But when I actually take the photo, the quality is very bad. This happens to front and rear camera. I already tried Camera ZOOM FX, but I also have other problems with this app. I already tried to change the settings in both applications, but I can't get as sharp pictures as before. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
OdlG
Happens to me too, guess its because of GPE. Tried a 4.4 sense rom (on insertcoin you can choose to install the AOSP camera) and well, guess what happened? on both cameras (sense / AOSP) the quality is way better. Thats why i propably go to a sense rom. I dont really care about the GPE features (well, whats the most important? ART? the new dialer?.. well, art is broken and new dialer.. to be honest, when i call a number i know who i call, i dont need such stuff).
So either MIUI or a 4.4 sense rom is my suggesstion

[Q] HTC One Stock Camera

Hello guys,
i just looked a video about the htc ones slow motion function. I^ve tried it with the cyanogenmod 11 build in camera, but it crashes when i chose hdr and i cant find the slowmo function, so i`m looking for the htc ones stock camera app. Ive already tried to search it via google but without any results. Are there any possibilitys to install the 4.3 stock Camera on cm 11?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry to disappoint, but this is not possible. The HTC Camera app uses code that is a part of HTC's Sense UI. Without a stock Sense Rom, you cannot install the Sense Camera, which is a shame.
The biggest problem is that the code related to the camera app is not open source, so Devs cannot really use it to port the app to AOSP/CM roms.
Hopefully some genius dev will be able to replicate the function of the required code, and port over the camera, but it is not really a priority for any of them right now.

oh, well, i allready thaught so..
it seems, that the camera app is a vergy good work from htc. As i heard, it comes with the best slowmo quality until now.. what should i do now? are there any better ways then taking the stock rom? I really like the design of 4.4 , but the batterylife decrease slightly. I think i would take a custom rom with sense, so i can delete some stock roms. Is that possible?

I think you meant you would delete/replace some of the stock apps on a rooted Sense rom... Am I correct?
If so, yes. I personally would vouch for ViperOne. The team is super amazing. They have quick, over-the-air updates, and their rom is rock solid stable.To delete apps, you can use Rom Cleaner (just search the XDA forums in the general android development) I can provide links 2morrow when I get back home bcoz my phone doesn't show the XDA search bar lol.
But an even better approach than removing apps yourself is to Use Eragon Rom. I have a link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423492&highlight=eragon
The developer removed the sense launcher and everything, but kept some apps like the camera, gallery, dialer, and sound equalizer. It is pretty smooth, and tbh, the Dev is a nice, helpful guy.
Hope I helped

I do believe Eragon has the HTC gallery app as well. In fact, I am sure, because it supports HTC Zoe, which requires the HTC gallery.
