ok so ive hade my g1 for about almost a year now and the camera is really starting to piss me off.
when i first got the phone it was loaded with a dev phone mod from cyanogen 3.something i believe. anyways when i first got the phone and used the camera it had options for different settings, light filters (day,night, incandescent, fluorescent, etc) and pictures effects (B&W, sepia, etc). later i found this site, started updating rom files and changing themes and whatnot. ever since then the camera options went bye bye.
anyone know of a way to get these settings back? or anyone know of any apps that do the same thing?

Just about any camera app. And if you flashed cyanogen's rom right you wouldn't lose the camera app.
When I flashed to the newer version it didn't get rid of the camera app. The camera appis still there it just didn't have the same functionality it had before. The icon itself looked different and once loaded up the camera screen looked different. I no longer have the ability to change the settings like I did before. I was just wondering if anyone else had an issue with or what fixes there are without running a completely seperate app.
If there isn't a fix the app will work. Just seeing what's available option wise
Dear all, I have recently bought 2 Xperia T's one for my wife and another for my mother (they both seem to have the same issue).
They are currently running the most recent stock ROM 4.1.2, not rooted just how it came from the box with one big update to 4.1.2.
I have read in many reviews that the camera was good, at least better than the one in Galaxy Note (N7000) or Galaxy S2, nevertheless when I compare the pictures, specially in lower light (just not the ideal, in doors with some light) scenarios they are all extremely blurred.
Am I doing something wrong? I use the 2 stage button to take the pictures, press it a little bit to get it to focus and then I press it a little more to take the picture.
When comparing the pictures in the same conditions, my Galaxy Note 1 does a better job, which is a pity as one of the selling points for my wife was the 13Mgpx camera.
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance for all your input.
Take the superior auto mode off and try again

Thanks for the reply. What should I put? Normal or something else?
Another thing I always use the 9Mgpx settings as it gives the 16:9 instead of 4:3 with 13Mgpx.
Just try with different settings. Its just like any camera, you need the correct setting for the picture you are taking. Superior auto sort of just takes a best guess and is good for quick snaps, but if you want a decent photo then you have to go through the settings and set it up as you want it.
There is a thread in the general section about how to take decent photos, just search for it.
@Johev if you find the thread about good camera settings please share it with me also, I googled but didn't find (found similar threads but for other phones )
thanks bye!

Hi @moly82, I have found the thread and it was somewhat useful.
Please see here
As for the summary of the advice is not to use the automatic settings, and to use normal settings with image stabilization ON (it is off be default) and sometimes you can play with ISO, etc.
I did try it and it seemed to improve the pictures so far, nevertheless have 2 complaints:
1) You need to know what you are doing, like for example my wife does not care what the settings are, just wants the pictures to look well. On my Galaxy Note 1 the N7000 or on the Galaxy S2 the pictures on default settings look better.
2) There is no way that I could find to have the default settings in the camera be Normal instead of the automatic [iCamera picture] ones. Which means that after you press the camera button to launch the camera application, you first need to change the settings and only than you can start taking pictures. This every time you launch the camera.
If anyone knows how to change the last point I would be grateful, as I am tiered of hearing that her old Xperia Ray took better pictures than the Xperia T.

thanks a lot my friend! I have just read it all. I enabled Image stabilization too now
about point 2, here after selecting normal mode every time I start the camera I find it in normal mode, not in iAutomatic again! (but I am not on stock, I am on custom rom, see my signature
bye!!
Note : This is a workaround for portrait mode on the OnePlus 5
Step 1 :
1. Download Google Pixel 2 Camera Ported for OP5
Download Link
Special Thanks to B-S-G on XDA Developers for this mod. Full link to the article here.
2. Install the downloaded apk on to your OP5
3. Open Google Camera -> Go to Settings
4. Go to Config Camera -> Choose 'Pixel 2017 (DR DogFood)'
5. Restart Google Camera App
6. Choose 'Lens Blur' from the hamburger menu.
7. Read & Follow the steps given.
8. Switch to selfie mode & click the picture.
9. Open the clicked picture from the Camera app itself.
10. Best part is you can even adjust the background blur in the selfie.
11. Have fun ! Share your portraits
Here are some pictures of the steps & preview of the picture clicked

Thanks! Works fine although not sure whether the normal blur is comparable to the standard app...
Also, it does crash when I choose the "slow motion" mode...
thx bro for this awesome mode
Hey guys! Does this all require root? The generic pixel camera port works fine for me, but this one crashes immediately. I installed twice, and restarted after the install, but after granting privileges, the app crashes each time I try to open it. Is there something I am missing? I would love to use this app!
Thanks guys.

Try to uninstall the original app, then install the new one.
Mine used to crush, then I uninstalled it and reinstalled. It works then.
The app crashes when i change config camera
Any help?
Unfortunately it crashes whenever I try to open Settings
Working! ?
I had to use titanium backup to uninstall my Google camera, restart the phone then install it.
I used google port from scrubber, link in youtube video below, front cam selfie is wonderful and its most stable. No settings required.

What device did you use this on? As far as I am aware, the front potrait/HDR+ mode will crash on OnePlus devices. In the video that you've linked, the device is LG G6 and not a OnePlus device.
Checked and Works on OnePlus 5T. Thanks
Hey,
feeling pretty dumb right now but how the hell am I supposed to switch between the two cameras on the back?
I can switch between front and back camera but how do I switch between wide-angle and normal angle?
?
When you open the camera app, you should see a little "1,0x". Press ist and the camera will change.
Nope, I tried by blocking one camera with a paper and if I press the button it still displays. It seems that will just software zoom.
I managed to find out that only Bokeh mode uses the lower camera.
Tried it in "normal mode" in the nokia camera app. The tele camera is active when zoom 2x is choosen. Blocked top and lower tele camera to confirm. Do you use an alternative camera software?

The app info is not very informative. I guess it is HMD camera app.
At least the icon and UI looks like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evenwell.camera2

Yes this looks like the preinstalled camera app.
In normal "PHOTO" mode, the lower tele camera works here as intended. Guess some weird SW bug/setting is causing you trouble.
Below is the interface screenshot, because the Appstore picture looks slightly different.
What is you phone version?
I'm using the German/European version, model TA-1046 with Android 8.1.0
Camera firmware is V100.0077.02 - V010.0017.01
Build is 00WW_2_13B
App version is 8.0260.50

Exactly the same, also bought in Germany.
Maybe another picture related app on your phone, blocks the tele camera in normal foto mode.
As far as camera apps goes, I'm running the Pixel3Mod wo interference (this Gcam mod can obviously not use the tele camera at all), everything else is more or less stock.
I really wonder what is blocking, if that's the case.
I already restarted several times and opened the app right after it.
Doesn't work. Hrm...
Guess I'll see what HMD has to say.

Weird indeed.
As a last straw, did you try to reset the camera app settings and reopen the app afterwards?
Yep tried that too. Also tried to force stop all app that might use the camera.
Maybe it is just broken and there is a fallback to the working camera?
Edit: ah no wait it is working in bokeh mode so I guess the camera works ?
a bit worrying
That's normal
The telephoto lens only work if there is a good lighting condition, if it is a little dark environment then the normal lens only work with digital zoom because it has bigger sensor size so it give better photo
I got a message from Nokia stating that the change between the two cameras is done automatically.
I can confirm this, as suddenly it worked today in ONE instance.
Since then I couldn't confirm it again.
This automatism seems to work in like 5% of all times.
At least for me it is totally unclear when to expect the second camera to work.
Also how can I tell the second camera was used? So far pictures seem exactly the same.
Also on the display I couldn't see any difference when the second camera was actually working to the main camera using digital zoom.
It feels like I paid a lot more money for a useless gimmick for now.
If so, that's disappointing.
This is how all phones with dual camera work, if light is not enough then the phone automatically switch to the main camera.
Look at the different between the details of these photos
is there a way to have a bigger wide-angle? I am a bit disappointed because i thought with the second camera there would be some kind of a wide-angle option like action cameras have.
So there is really no way to switch manually?
Is there another camera app/mod which can give this functionality?
Use Live Bokeh mode, that's only way i got now...
I got another message from Nokia to reset the app and try again. Seems that might have resolved the issue partially as it seems to use the second camera more often. But I find it rather random still. I tested it on vacation for 3 weeks.
Often I can see a sudden switch of the camera even though the lightning situation is the same.
There is no wide-angle camera in Nokia 7 Plus mate
Hello all,
Do you know if there's a way to make your settings from the camera app to be saved ? For instance I want to be 4k60fps on video mode to be the default settings but every time you relaunch the app it goes back to 1080p30fps.
Many thanks guys
