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!

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

I use the same RUU. Bur for me, the image quality is pretty bad in comparison to the Stock Android 4.3 Sense ROM

That's normal. That also happened on Stock Sense. And also on other Android devices.
tried both roms, GPE and Sense, and cannot see a difference

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

I prefer CM or Vanilla based roms and I don't need Blinkfeed or Zoe. However, I do want the camera to take pictures like the stock does. I read, and from what I understand, GE ROM's do not use the full 4ultrapixel camera. ARHD looks cool and so does Excelsus One.
Thanks for your help.

your point? i assume you want the sense camera but CM style rom. your best option is to use a sense rom and just use a aftermarket launcher? lols...

I just wasn't sure if I was incorrect in my understanding that CM or GE/Vanilla roms had lower quality pictures. I don't need all the fancy effects. The HTC One S didn't use the onboard picture chip when you used vanilla roms. Was wondering if it was still the case.
Thanks for your response.

No one said the vanilla roms had lower quality pictures. both the same to me. youll just loose the extra settings the sense camera had
So haven't found many reactions to this problem, but the HTC One seems to lack flash focus.
As far as I know most other flagship phones have this functionality.
So how do y'all manage to take pictures in dark environments where it's too dark too focus normally???
Kinda sucks, the only workaround is to shoot a movie with the flash on and click the photo icon
Does anyone know if this will be added in future updates?? How do other HTC phones handle this like the One X??
I know what you mean. It's terrible really, I hate the camera on this thing. In Snapchat you can't even use the flash because the image just goes nearly fully white

Yeah it sucks.. I don't get it how HTC really screwed up the camera part. Don't know if it's something that can be helped with an update/3rd party software...
I thought that I was the only one with that problem.. It makes pictures in the complete darkness look terrible. Hopefully it's fixed in the 4.3 sense builds.

Yeah exactly, pretty useless at a party or concert or something :-/
I don't understand why there aren't many people complaining about this issue.
How do other HTC phones deal with this? I can't remember anymore if my old HTC Desire was able to flash focus or not.
This past weekend I took the first photo with flash since I bought the One two months ago. I don't like to take photos with flash and I prefer to have some photos looking a bit grainy but with more natural colors.
I decided to turn the flash and the photo came out of focus. It's the first one I take with the flash but I'm not going to touch it again.
HTC needs to improve the camera firmware/software in a hurry, there are issues like too much hunting in low light conditions and loooong time to focus in same scenarios. The autofocus should be faster, specially as the phone doesn't have a physical button. I really miss the physical two-step shutter I had on the 8X and Lumia 920.
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.
I just flashed AOSP roms and there are lot of noises when using the front cam?
Is that normal? Is there any 3rd party app for front facing camera?
Thanks.
Well i used an AOSP rom and i am using pac rom right now and the noise happened to me too. I just thought thats the way it is with these roms cause even the back camera has some issues. Go into settings on front camera and turn on HDR it will help, kinda destroys colours but there is no noise once you take the photo.

Yea colours are bad but thats the best, currently i am using ihackers 4.1 and doomkernel and the camera is better,front one is super nice, starts up just fine, no lags, like stock but improved. I used AOSB project before ihackers and this one is better, i just lost a few features like active display but thats fine. Liking it so far! Give it a try if you are on UB. If you need any help flashing just send me a PM and i will help you!

Did you tried the iHackers kernel?
Well yes i have, but still what i want to say is that for me, camera on pacman and other aosp roms is not so good, front one is super bad and super noisy why on ihacker rom and his kernel and on doomkernel camera works fine, i guess just stock sony app makes much more less noisy front camera photos. My english is not so good and i am sorry for it.
I was on PAC rom and also had super noise front cam. Now I tried iHackers rom (4.1), but front camera was still as noisy as on PAC rom. Do I have to do something special for the camera quality to improve?
