HI All,
I realize there are some other threads on this topic but not for captivate running 2.2...
I just installed the new Serendipity rom (6.3) which i'm pretty sure uses the 'hacked stock camera' with power button mod.
Unfortunately, the camera images are all noticeably blurry! no matter how still i hold it. Also, the exposure is often way off.
The old camera app from 2.1 worked great. Really nice sharp, good exposure.
What happened to the 2.2 camera, and is it possible to fix, or revert back to 2.1 camera app??
I'm a bit new to this so sorry if noob question. I did check the other threads and nothing was similar/answered.
Thanks in advance.
Having the sane problem myself. Almost as if the camera is only taking 2 or even 3MP quality shots.

are you guys tapping on the screen to focus the picture? and wipe the lens on the back?
yes.
yes, i've carefully wiped screen and focused as precisely as possible.
Download SGS Tools,v4.7.3 its the one you need. Under upgrade stock apps, select GizmoDroids camera. See if that helps out any.

thanks for this info!
I installed the GizmoDroids camera and it seems like a slight improvement. it also seems much faster to load. have yet to test the video. Still, some bothersome issues with the GD camera app... the exposure compensation is 'greyed out'? Here's a big problem: the sharpness and contrast settings don't 'stick'. They are reset every time app is run. This is huge problem to me because i find that +1 contrast and sharpness really improves image, but i cant have to set it every time i run the app...
also, i've tried out camera360 and it looks much better too. i'm wondering if the blurriness in the stock camera has to do with the autofocus being 'off', or the compression method has changed.
Is this a problem with Serendipity only, or have you experienced out with other roms?
Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
I noticed this too; but the image quality is fine when transferred to another device such as a computer...
You guys might want to post this in the Serendipity Q&A mikey and chance are usually pretty quick to reply, maybe you should try and re-flash
I have been on Serendipity since 5.8 and have not had any issues with the camera or anything else- ROM runs perfectly for me of course as with most things on the captivate may just be device specific.... But a re-flash has helped others with issues so it might be worth a try
BTW I have not installed any camera apps either and camera is fine
My camera works great!!

ive never used serendipity and find my camera sucks, looks good on phone. looks like shat on pc. focus yeah. blah blah... what camera doesnt auto focus now days tho?

So there are a lot of XDA Delevopers who tried to improve the camera quality of their phones ( f. e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855818)
Can anybody improve our camera? Unfortunately I have to rework all my pictures, because the most of them are quite yellowish. I know there are more important things to do here, but maybe somebody has an idea or one of the others developers can help?

I usually use this app:
Camera Zoom FX
Just tried vignette, and am kinda disappointed by UI, and quality also is not so much superior to the stock camera. In fact, I have some problems with focusing. There is only a tinny little bit of improvement, which does not push me to use this cam. Threw $2,5 in a bin...
Sorry for that.
Have you tried the code mod?

Can't you request the money back within 3 days if the app didn't work as expected?
patoberly: Don´t know man. I´m new to this, didn´t found any "refund" hints, and it will be three days tomorrow, so I won´t be in time with solving this. Found something, but it sais only refund up to 15 minutes after downloading. It´s more than one day today.
Sui77: You don´t have to sorry. It was my choice. I don´t have my phone rooted, and I don´t want to mess it again (even if I know programming). I´m tired of factory reset everytime some bad setting or badd app installed make problems. Did one reset today, SIM and WIFI loosing connection. After reset and installing just wanted apps everything is OK again. Am tired of this s.... Need clean fast, non problematic system. Have it today, won´t mess it anymore.
Ah sorry I was wrong with the 3 days. It's just 15 minutes, check: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/134336?hl=en

Yeah it used to be a decent time frame to try apps, then they shortened it to less time than it takes to install additional files for some bigger apps... basically a useless refund option now.

I find using HDR on the stock camera has been the best. Even in low light it seems to do better than the flash. If there are any compatible ports I think the newer Lenovo Snap It camera app is the best I've used for a while
I know, there are always problems with the cam in 4.4.2 - unfortunely.
But meanwhile I need a full working cam, so which custom-roms are highly recommend?
Thanx in advance.
PS: I'm well aware that I have to install a version lower than 4.4.2
I have 6 different cameras that work great on rooted 4.4.2 but it is still locked AT&T I-537 so not a complete custom ROM
Including: Stock Android camera, S4 GPe camera, Cymera, Focal and Google Camera. All are free. What doesn't work on yours?
Often the pictures are very overexposed. I can see it in the cam-modus. If I restart the camapp, it is normal exposed.

Would be glad to hear answer to this. Or is it just that every custom ROM (4.4.2) has this problem?
I'm really waiting forward to have KitKat in my S4 Active (nordic countries), as now I can't use for example Polar's sport applications with my official 4.2.*
You can't expect too much from this camera. It will do decent pics, but not more. Which is just fine by my standards.
Stock 4.2.2 camera works best overall, both with photos and videos. For other ROMs (4.3 and 4.4), photos are ok, but the video side has always been poor, regardless of the app or ROM used. Especially the sound volume, which is way too low, really frustrating.
Maybe things will improve with official 4.4.2 and hopefully ROM developers will manage to catch up with Touchwiz when it comes to the camera.
It shouldn't be long now.

I use @spegelius's CM11 build from 03.05 and it's all I need. The only freeze/crash events occur when trying to shoot the first pic after switching to and from HDR. After that it works smooth, although HDR is not really important to me. The other thing is the first film you try to record when switching from 1080p to 720p, which comes out unviewable. I couldn't find any other flaw with the rest of the functions.
The 03.05 is the build you need, if you don't use it already.

The camera seems to take pictures well for the most part, but if I try to capture the detail in an object I can't even come close to getting a decent picture. I've tried tapping over and over, using the manual focus on L camera, all with fuzzy, out of focus results.
Just to get an idea of how bad this is, I captured the lighter in pretty good detail with my Nexus 4...
Is my phone defective or is the focusing on the camera just bad?
you have to use touch to focus to get detailed photographs. do you use touch to focus? oh, and macros, with the n6 cam you have to hold it back another 1.5-2 inches back, further back than on tbe n4 and n5, or the object will never get focused on.

So you think that, although the Nexus 4 is definitely worse, it might just be better at focusing at closer distances?

I tried taking it a little farther away, and I'd say the amount of detail makes up for the added distance. Thanks for the advice.

i own the n4, n5, and n6. the n4 takes wonderful macro shots. the n5, just as good, maybe slightly better. for the n6, you really do have to pull the camera back a bit more, thats the very first thing i noticed with this cam. but after the shot, you can crop closer(because of 13mp), and the end product can look the same. i know, i take a massive amount of macro and regular shots.

since im on an aosp rom, it includes the aosp camera as well. its like the google camera, but its missing many features. it does shoots a little quicker though. it has a flash, and thats all i need. a better camera is pretty good on the n6 as well, since they are starting to use the new code.

I'm having the same problem, I'm used to getting very close to the objects and the camera focus without any issues. The N6 can't focus I was worried my N6 had a problem with the camera or if it was software related.

my camera doesn't focus at all, no matter how far away I am. I've tried everything. Manual settings it off, i touch the area on the screen i want to focus to and it sort of tries to focus but when it settles the inside circle doesn't go green and it is still out of focus. This could be a deal breaker for me if it doesn't improve

the n6 camera can not get as close to objects as other camera phones. quit trying to get very close. you need to pull it back about 7-8 inches, at least.

that blows. even if you have to wait, its still worth it. you wont have to send yours back until the replacement comes. but ive seen quite a few with camera issues, so id try to get it changed as fast as possible(since im a heavy camera user).
This seems like the right place to ask.. My focus is fine for pictures, and during video in portrait mode. But when in landscape, I can't get the video to focus. Anyone else have this?
Edit 1:So as the tittle said, i was thinking of reverting back to 4.4...When i bought the phone , it was already on 5.0.2 and now i'm on 6.0.1 (.291 version)...As far as i'm concerned, no improvements have been done on camera from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 (also, I face a bug and the last 1-2 seconds of the videos i record are frozen, and no, it's not my sd card's problem as i tried storing at my phone's storage)
The question is: Is stock camera on 4.4 better than 6.0.1?
Edit2 : I flashed 4.4 on my phone. Yes, the bug is real on 6.0.1...camera on 4.4 is almost 2 or 3 times better than 6.0.1.
Auto focus on 4.4 camera while video recording is just amazing guys...
Edit3: Flashed 6.0.1 again. The bug i described on Edit 1 dissapeared(!)
As for the video recording, on 4.4 autofocus worked automatically and really, really fast! When I'm on 6.0.1 I MUST use the camera button so as to make it work fast just like 4.4 did automatically. Hope this helps other users!
Yes 4.4 is absolutely better. I wrote thread in general section, my reasons why 4.4 is better.
---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------
Yes 4.4 is absolutely better! In every aspects.
i switched back also...loving this phone again...everything works 10x better... i'm on .77 build of kitkat ..the final one i believe

Camera and video shooting at 4.4 was 10 times better than on 6.0.1. BUT i detected certain bugs (snapchat lagging, i guess it's not well optimized for 'old' android versions)
But video shooting is REALLY bad at 6.0.1 guys...is there any way to use 4.4 camera app on 6.0.1? Autofocus needs almost 15 seconds to change focus and i still haven't found how to touch focus on Sony devices while video shooting! I would really appreciate some help on these things!

I haven't rooted 4.4, i don't like rooting and experimenting wirh it since everything rolls just perfect.You should really give a try, specially for the camera... Video recording focuses 10 times (for real 10 times) faster than 6.0.1 (both stock unrooted without mods), and camera quality is really better!
Also, booting takes about 18 seconds only on 4.4...
If you're using Snapchat, it will lag ( i'm not using heavily, only once a day, so it's not a problem for me), but i'm not using Facebook so I don't know whether it lags or not, but i guess it will work flawlessly. Be sure to keep a nandroid backup before checking 4.4 out!
Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer before you jump on 4.4.
For me the best ROM has been the Concept ROM. It has built-in Doze, nearly as stock as AOSP, battery life is great and it is really stable, fast. Less apps, better ROM. KitKat is great in performance but as it doesn't have Doze, it gives me less battery life cause I don't like to use Stamina mode whatsoever. I love KitKat too, but I hate KitKat's notification panel and settings icons. Concept provides you the most modern looking and one of the most stable and lightweight ROMs out there. As for the camera I use Cyberian Camera, despite it is not optimized for Concept, it is stable and better than the stock. Concept uses stock framework (same as 6.0.1) and haven't had any issues with it, also low-light processing is great!
TL; DR : Try Concept too!

If you're using Snapchat, it will lag ( i'm not using heavily, only once a day, so it's not a problem for me), but i'm not using Facebook so I don't know whether it lags or not, but i guess it will work flawlessly. Be sure to keep a nandroid backup before checking 4.4 out!
Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer before you jump on 4.4.

I tried 4.4, for the first two days i was clean as it gets, but the battery lasted only 3.5h of sot, camera on the other hand was just okej, colours were a bit washed out (comparing to cyberian on MM), and view finder was laggy (cyberian has smooth viewfinder-best thing for me). I also tried video recording, and it was also not that special, focusing speed was the same as it was on cyberian. So after rooting and finally deleting all the bloatware (can't stand it) I realized 4.4 was not for me. So I restored my latest backup of MM and I can tell you I'm glad i tried 4.4 because it made me appreciate MM and my cyberian camera. Btw I am on MxRom fyi.
Just wanted to say this, enjoy and cheers
