I've been meaning to root my gs5 but I'm wondering if there's any camera mods. Aside from debloating, increased camera performance is really all I need (it usually takes me about 3-5 tries to get a non blurry picture) but I'm worried that once I'm rooted, I can't complain to att and get a new s5 since it might be a hardware problem
Tl;dr anyone found a good camera mod or know someone who is working on one?

i opened a thread about this and have still yet to find a solution... i might have to go back to using a 3rd party app.. CameraZoom+ worked pretty decent for me on my previous s4 and note3.
i have noticed that turning on "Tap to take pic." and tapping the screen to capture the photo has been working decent.

possibly.. i noticed that when the camera snaps the pic and it flashes the white boarders.. that particular moment doesnt seem to be the actual moment that the photo is taken.. so maybe when the screen flashes, we think the photo is taken and move our hands out of instinct ?

Though the nexus camera works great on the nexus line I've noticed on my so when I use it to capture something that is moving like my child there is a delay in capture...the screen will flash with what I thought I got but when I look at the picture it will be a delayed shot often missing what I wanted. The Samsung camera is not alol that bad.

Yeh I don't get it either, I never take blurry photos. See so many complaints on here and other forums and no clue why, my friends S5 doesn't take blurry pics either. I only turned off pic stabilization. I just make sure the the image is in focus before shooting.
Has everyone removed the factory plastic off the lens?

Use Burst shots... Hold the camera button down and take a series of pictures the open the containing folder of the grouped shots, hit menu and select from the options in there.
Also I think it can detect if there is an object that can actually pull off the effect as well.. If it notices the same frame for all of the shots it obviously can not stich together the object in the frame

I had problems with it at first using zoe mode. You have to time it right and the framing part as mentioned above is correct. The way I got it was frame the shot, and have the subject move into frame then start capturing. Don't move the camera when shooting either.

I am coming from a One X (att) and I dropped all of my photos from my One X into the 100 Media folder of my One.

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.

FYI: Take a look at my post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481316
I understand that everyone wants to make this camera in the Ultra better... Its not going to happen! The camera is average. Simple.
The best you can hope for is an HDR app that composes images and makes them look saturated.
FV-5 doesn't do what it says. It makes slight improvements in noise reduction, but the settings don't effect the image like you would expect. Especially the ISO... disappointing...
There are many professional apps that cost 5$ or more, that hardly do anything different.
The advice i offered was relevant despite you not knowing any better.
additionally... the stock camera does offer location by GPS and time in shot as well.

As if that matters? Camera app for android is a camera app for android... Only thing that might matter is the fact that (for example) ISO settings can not be controlled by 3rd party apps as far as I can tell so far.
I've searched all of the Google play and let me tell you something, android just does not have any pro camera apps... You're gonna have to wait a long time for that!

I've tried a lot of apps FV5 is probably your best bet snap camera seems to have an active dev that keeps improving it. If you want to get the most out of you camera your best bet is to use FV5 in PNG format take the full size picture and use lightroom or PS to post process your images. Perfectly clear does a pretty decent job if you want an automatic enhancing app.

Thread title made me think of an app of the same name that works on the iphone called procamera.
Its claim to fame is it allows you to set focus and exposure seperately. So you can tap to focus, lock it then tap to set exposure, say in spot elsewhere without losing the earlier focus.
Wondered if anybody knows of something similar in android ?

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)

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).
