[Q] Camera: Sense vs. Stock? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read the Engadget (or was it Gizmodo) article comparing the two phones and they claimed that Sense camera app took better photos. However, they also said it could just be built-in processing. I don't care much for the built-in filters since I do most of the editing with 3rd party apps. So, I'm wondering whether it's /just/ the processing and not that the Stock app can't take advantage of the bigger pixels. I would flash stock and compare myself but am too lazy to ;P Hoping somebody will. Cheers.

It's roughly the same. AOSP does fine with the 'ultrapixel' camera. They are just talking about the tweaks that HTC put into their camera software. You can do all of this with post processing.

probably not same distance but close. there is a google camera apk from the system dump in the themes and apps section

If you're running an odexed 4.2.2 ROM, you can install the Google Edition's camera and gallery applications (and they won't remove your Sense ones, don't worry) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340853

I'm installing the google edition rom from trickdroid right now, I'll let you know how the camera is

Thanks for the effort, but second pic is shaky so can't really compare.

I took some with both and in daylight I can't tell a difference. I'm going to try some low light shots and see how the GE camera handles it.
First one is GE and second is Sense.

are u guys using the new camera from this thread?

Anandtech has already done a comparison of Stock vs Sense vs Touchwiz camera
http://anandtech.com/show/7107/htc-...s-4-google-play-edition-review-nearly-nexus/4

Is the GE camera capable of doing burst shots like the Zoe does? Also does the OIS work for GE?
These features are a must for me while taking pictures of my kids running around..

Is there a way to have the Zoe app on the GE OS? Or is it deeply integrated into Sense?

That ^.

I use my Sense camera more than anything, I really take advantage of the Zoe feature, but I also have the aosp camera for it's 360 capabilities. If only there were a way to integrate the two, but I had an Evo V prior to my One, and I know how HTC can be with their cameras.

i thought quick reply for messaging was a CM feature?
I'm wondering if perhaps we can expect to see a system dump from the "Google Edition" release, or perhaps an unofficial release of the STABLE CM 10.1; seeing as how the Sprint variant of the HTC One, received a nightly, as of yesterday.
I'm just hopeful that we'll have a more fully-functional version of Android 4.2.2.

Maybe for messaging, but Notification actions in general:
Expandable, actionable notifications.
Android has always put you in control when it comes to staying notified and connected. Just swipe down from the top of the screen to see all your notifications in one place. Late for a meeting or missed a call? Take action in an instant directly from the notifications shade.

Some of these don't apply, and some have been implemented by HTC already, but anyway for reference.

Ya seems to me to be pointless to buy the nexus experience One if you are a current owner and can just flash a "dump"
I just don't know if I can do without Zoe and the IR blaster. I have tortured so many peeps with the IR blaster and the TV/cable box at their houses or hotels it has been priceless!!!

Though I doubt the Google version of the one will have Zoe, I imagine it will use the ir blaster. I don't think they're changing anything physically on the phone so itd be a little odd if they didn't include that functionality.

I never really cared for LS widgets on AOSP. But if you really want, you will be able to delete the HTC lockscreen and use the AOSP one that has the widgets. So it's not like they are completely gone.

Request: HTC Gallery for Google Edition

I will donate a sizable amount of money to whoever can get this working properly. I might be broke.. so it maybe a $1.. and don't tell me it wont work. They said that about the camera, and it worked fine. I want a positive attitude about this.

The camera can be found here:

but there is no thread about a working gallery yet...
So you can make Zoe pics and stuff, but can't watch them on the phone without the HTC Gallery. Flashing back to Sense roms, shows all photos and movies made before.

Sent from Taptalk on HTC One on some awesome custom Rom!
This makes me afraid.
They turned down the Boomsound in 4.2 because people were popping speakers.
Rumor has it that HTC will simply limit the ISO or something to reduce the tint.
If they do, the HTC will have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, gone down the drain.
If they actually fix this, it will truly be the world's (second) best camera phone for low light.
Also, has anybody else noticed the dire lack of basic editing features in the stock gallery app? I installed the 4.3 camera apk, but it's ridiculous.

Whenever you send a pic or upload a pic it gets compressed. Since you are not rooted I'm not sure if you can change the compression threshold

[?] AOSP w/ Zoe?

Anyone know if it's possible to run a AOSP rom and have Zoe functionality in the camera? I am thinking of installing cyanagenmod but want to still use Zoe. Maybe there is an alternative equivalent to Zoe that anyone knows of. I am hoping an AOSP rom will help speed up and and perform overall better.

Will never happen. If your lucky somone will put a zoe-like app in the play store but for whatever reason nobody has tried to ape it yet.
ACTUALLY. If you use the Google Edition rom then you can install the Sense camera and zoe's will work perfectly
well you can shoot the zoes but not view them until you're back on a sense rom.

Yes, I know it's not FULL AOSP. But if you want aosp and zoe/sense camera that's as close as you're gonna get. Also we don't have 4.3 GE, we're still on 4.2.2. Therefore the camera still works

How do you get to camera settings - the other settings?

Was at a Verizon store yesterday played with the X, very nice device, one thing I couldn't locate/figure out, nor could the rep....
how do you change pic/video mp size before taking the pic/video?
Are all the pics taken in 10mp size (or a different default size), or can that be adjusted?
If so, where can Those settings be found?
The standard settings section had the basics, HDR, flash, Geo, tap to focus, slo mo, gesture etc. I just couldn't locate where to change the size of pics and video.
(Btw the X's they had at store were not on kit kat, so I know camera wasn't on latest firmware)
Anyone know?

The settings you found in the app are the only settings there are. They REALLY dumbed down the camera app. I hate how little you can control on it.
I'm coming from a 2.5+ year HTC Thunderbolt, and the Moto X is a real neat device.
But I think it's the only phone I know of that you can't preset the size pic/video you'd like.
Kind of strange, considering past dumb phones I had could do this.
Taking pics and video in the highest mp will definitely fill up the phone's memory fast.
Maybe future firmware will allow this, who knows.

I was a little peeved when I found out the picture/video size couldn't be adjusted. I told myself I didn't need all that crap from the S3 so I got the MotoX and then turned out that one small thing would drive me nuts.

Problem is, will 3rd party camera app launch with wrist flick, plus the tap to take pic and keep finger down for multiple is nice, as well as taking pics while recording a video, I don't think these features will work with a 3rp party app.
Motorola X exterior is customizable, they built a whole website for that customizable part, can even add a name to boot, but customize a photo before taking it, oh boy.
And I completely understand they wanted to create a phone that just works for the average Joe, but at the least they could have had maybe a 5mp and 2mp preset under the default 10mp. They can still keep white balance etc.
Plus I think camera would be even faster taking 2mp pics (not that it has to be).
Like mentioned, maybe they'll pick up on this and change in future firmware (which is at least possible to do).
