BLURRY CONTACT PICS! (On Stock/CM6, but NOT Evil's Sense…)

I've always hated the over compression of the contact pics on the phone that Stock/Cm6 both grab. Looks fine in the thumb, but when I call someone its annoying. I used EviL's sense for a few days but went back to CM for the battery life and a but of stability, but while I was over there, I fell in love with the clean large contact pics (and FB statuses on them).
Any way to at least increase the resolution?

Sense's people widget is by far the best out there
A good sub would be syncmypix app

Bionic Camera

This bionic camera in my opinion is terrible. I have done the research...tried multiple third party apps and I can't find something to get clear photos or to where I can tap a specific spot on screen to focus on that specific spot... Any help is appreciated.

Try HDR Camera +

I tried it out and it force closes the gallery every time I take a picture.

Instead of tapping, you can drag the square in the middle to the area you want it to focus on.

Have you tried Camera Advance? Here is the market link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite&feature=search_result There is also a paid versions too. Hope this helps

I tried it out, found out camera 360 has a touch to focus option, seems to be doing good, I miss the HTC camera lol..

Can you clarify for me how the "touch to focus" feature differs from the method I mentioned with dragging the square? I've heard a lot of complaints about not being able to "touch to focus" but I figured it was the same.

Same thing but instead of dragging a square you just tap the screen in the area you want it to focus on

I have tried most camera apps on the market. With the newly released flickr app comes with a camera. This thing is pretty solid. slow but still solid. I prefer this over the blur camera. Mind you it has less option than most camera apps, however they can only improve with later versions.

What's the deal with camera360 only showing half screen? Is there a setting I'm missing that makes it full screen or so I have to buy the full version?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Full version does the same thing to me its not made for qHD is my guess maybe im wrong tho

Hey...figured it out. Download spare parts from the market. Uncheck the "comparability mode" box and that fixes it.

SWEET had this already but didn't know it was ticked, this is awesome much better, but yeah this app is great for our camera, i seem to get great photos and fast focusing

Sooo, I've been very disappointed with the camera like most of u... That is until I realized a really awesome feature that dramatically improves quality & speed:
==> hold down the shutter button until u are ready to snap a picture and it will instantly take the pic with great quality. This is a trick I stole from my days of taking pictures with a point & shoot camera!
Hope this helps - I've even tested this in the dark and it works perfect on Auto.

Tip from Moto forum
24. Oct 2, 2011 4:41 PM (in response to scottay)
Re: Camera! Please fix it!
I have some GOOD news about the stock camera, after fussing with it for more than a few hours (and after uninstalling my Vignette app)...
Try this (but don't expect it to take rapid-fire photos - it's stilll a phone camera). The results for me were pretty good, relative to what I was getting before.
In the stock camera options:
Check - store on SD card (not internal storage)
Mode: Choose the "hand" - steady
Move the brightness slider SLIGHTLY to the right (brighter)
Use autoflash only when you definitely want flash. Otherwise, turn it off when there's enough light. The flash tends to wash out colors.
AND most important - I had to learn the hard way - aim at your subject and wait until the white corner square turns into a full square - and then turns green. Most already know you can move the square with your finger to the part of the photo you want the rest of the photo based on. When the box is green, though, the camera has focused and adjusted the exposure to what you are aiming at. THEN, click the photo.
This takes more time than it should, but at least it works. Experiment with other modes besides "auto," which seems to deliver less than mediocre.
I got some pretty impressive results from this combination. Much better, at the least, than my first attempts.

I found this link and fixed my BIONIC camera complaints. The difference in speed is awesome.

New Stock JB camera from port from Google edition HTC One and Galaxy S4

Hey I have tested the port app from the Google edition HTC One (GS4) and it works like a charm on my Xperia Z with Android 4.2.2.
All functions including Photosphere work when accessed from the Gallery app. The Camera shortcut does crash sometimes. All you have to do is just download the APK and install it on your phone. It will not replace your stock camera app so you can just install it and use it as an alternative.
You can download it from this website: http://android.hdblog.it/2013/06/27...e-galleria-di-ones4-google-edition-per-tutti/
Or here is a Google Drive link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1liTNaofBHRQTNHZzQ2V1YyaTQ/edit

Is it possible to put this camera in the lockscreen (Where now the XZ camera is)?
I tried to search to replace it, but nowhere to find (for me )

Top man. Works nicely. Confusing as hell to use though.

I played a little with photosphere app. Great app. But the picture quality is not very good when zooming.
I compare 2 photoshere from the same point (one with my Xperia Z, one with S4 not google edition).
The one from S4 is much more sharp than the one from Xperia Z. What a pity...

Alternative Camera App
Reckon I will give this one a shot in a little bit. Was trying to get the Honami Camera app to work last night after de-odexing new Stock ROM, but this might keep me content until Honami is updated for new Firmware. Nice One !:laugh:

[Q] Problem with MMS pictures very low quality

Hi everyone,
I have an xperia SP (5302) bought in hongkong, and using it in France with Orange operator.
I'm facing an issue with MMS pictures (before in FW.257 and also now flashed in FW.284)
When I receive an MMS with a photo, the little picture preview inside the MMS thread is fine.
But when I click on it to see it full screen, or when I save it to my albums, the quality is extremely low.
The picture saved weight is only 2,5ko
Basically it seems that the little preview is simply stretched to fit the screen size, and the full size picture is not really downloaded.
Bottom line, the picture is terrible and I trash every message..
Has anyone seen the same problem ?
Is there any patch around from that, a quick search on google, xda, and sony didn't give me anything, for xperia SP at least.
thanks for your feedback and glad to see the XDA community so much alive after all these years.

Not come across this myself as I don't really send our receive mms.
Could it be the quality of the picture sent is not very good and then it is made smaller to fit in side MMS?
You could try sending yourself a MMS with a PIC set to HQ and see if this is the same.
