Hi People!! i have a question... First of all, i´ve searched all questions and i found nothing about this... I´m noob and I know that my question might be stupid but i have it XD
when I had my Stock ROM I was mazed about the quality of pictures and videos bue, (heres the question) when I installed a Custom ROM this quality got lost... pictures and videos and maybe (Im not sure) games havent got the same quality than before... Is this normal?? Thanks!!
Sorry for my English XD
You missed this Reduced Quality Thread
but it's ok
In Picture Quality if you are using the same application like the Android Gallery(cooliris) in 2.1 then on custom rom(2.2./2.3) it will be the same, because that Gallery downsizes the Images, so quality is reduced.
in Stock 2.1 Album, don't have that problem, or in custom roms, try to install Quick Pic. Quality will still be the same.
but of course can't compare Picture Quality from a computer to our X8(limited to 65k colors)
About Video's i never noticed the quality in 2.1 or in custom roms, I use Mobo Player, which can play all kinds of formats too. although i still use 720x480 mp4 for my video's if i decode them.
about Gaming 2D or 3D, yes this is very noticeable and really depends on what ROM you are using. I use FroyoBread during the early versions 2D/3D is not yet fixed so quality is reduced and can some Gradients/Pixels.
But FroyoBread reached its Final Version and 2D/3D is Great
Thank you!! I got seek, thats why i dindt thank you before...
Hi All,
I have a Note N-7000. I got it just a few weeks before ICS roll out. The Camera behaves weird and now its not the same as it was in 2.3.
daylight photos are okay but low light photos are really thumbs down and a lot of Red-Eye.
I still have photos before and after update and I can see quality of photos degrading after that!!!
Is Every1 having similar opinions or do I need any other settings to better the quality of photos??
Need you opinion...
Camera on ICS AND JellyBean is Better than on GingerbREAD
I still feel that camera quality has degraded in ICS..is your note also a GT N-7000??
Everyones note there is a GT-N7000....would be really weird if the folks who use the american Note were hanging out here.....
But no, I've not noticed it and the camera in the JellyCore ROM (JellyBean rom) is better than the GB one

Personally i found the camera on cm9 based roms disappointing .. Sure its faster but quality is not as same as tw based roms.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using free xda app-developers app for poor people

We'll my brother has the I717 and comparing my N7000 to his, I'd say the cam resolution is much more cleaner and sharp as compared to mine.. Though I can't say if this is ROM related or so.... he has CM10 installed and I have the (self modified) LRQ one. Not that it matters though.
exactly the same thing I observed that the indian note camera's quality's degraded than thew others..I see a lot of red-eye too when i use flash..is there any setting for removing that or any update or something that would better the quality..??
Hello!
I was doing some video recording on my 4x, but I noticed that videos hove avarage only 22fps..
Is there any way to get better fps on our lg 4x?
I am on CM10.2, cm original kernel, I have tried few recommended apps for recording, but framerate is almost always 22fps.
Any ideas for camera app, kernel?
Thanks!

either go back to stock, or, i'm not sure if it works properly - try iodak's ported stock camera app; it should record at higher fps.
Ok, thanks, will try and report back...
Have tried suggested camera an it does record 1080p at approx. 30fps (mostly 27fps)..
But at very low birthrate (round 9000), so the video is not very high quality..
As soon I opened it I also noticed annoying focus bug..
So - is there any app / mod / hack, that has better quality and record at least 24fps? That works on CM 4.2
As far as I tested camera apps, best results are with snap camera (but only 22fps.. ) Maybe lg camera too..
First of all, Questions belong into the Q&A section (---> moved)
Now, to your Q, you can't get a higher framerate, as it is capped @30fps.
But I think i know how to "uncap" it, let me take a look at it tomorrow

amazing , thats great, that would be a nice info. though me im fine with fps. the quality is what bothers me. it would be nice if it could get a higher definition too. faces must be close or they look "ugly"
edit: if we choose a latte fx its easier to notice the bad quality and what i mean.
Yeah, I agree, it would be great to have more fps and better bitrate..
I got 17mps on snap camera.. Could we get it on camera itself?

No, it can't be included into a camera app, as it is inside the system, and not inside an app
So it is possible to include/hack this into kernel or what?
Still haven`t found app, that would record at 30fps and had better bitrate..
Hey !
So I've been using slim bean on my p880 for a while (I like it, it's clean, simple, and doesnt eat much battery/hour). There's only one thing I dislike about it : The front facing camera is dark as hell - it really sucks in environments with low light levels and with movement. But I remember that when I used the stock rom, in the beginning , the camera used to have much better performance in places with low light levels, even though there was still some trouble dealing with pictures requiring focusing moving objects.
Anyway, I wanted to know if this problem was only with this rom or with all major cm roms out there for p880 , and if there's some sort of fix for this. I love this rom and my gf likes playing on it and taking pictures with it, and they sometimes totally suck due to this. Help ?

front camera is green with that one i think
if you're talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288917
Slim is on grouper blobs then? If so, afaik mowt camera apps will also give green screen on frontal cam preview. Google camera and aosp camera are the only ones that will give normal preview on frontal as well
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!

Sound on speakers is better at 6.0.1 but i think sound at headphones work better on 4.4....
I'm so confused....if only i could use Sony's 4.4 Camera app on 6.0.1! That would be great!
Can someone post a link to flashable zip with root and recovery of .77 build?
There is 1 link on the forum but from MEGA and I can't fully download it :/ Some others mirrors maybe?

Ever heard of Cyberian camera? I am on latest 6.0.1 and have flashed that camera mod, and I can tell you pictures and video are a blast,
low light photography at its best, and also hdr for 4k, and lots of improvements, you just need root and latest version of sony rom (.291)
Here is link to mentioned mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/mod-cyberian-camera-t3267271

You'll need to ftf back to 4.4 if you are on 5.1 or 6.1....then you can flash recovery and then flash whatever you want...use flashtool to ftf back to stock on 4.4

Ahh damn! I just flashed 4.4 again... Again 10 times better photos and 5x faster autofocus on video than 6.0.1!
Thanks for your time lad!
Edit: Is 120fps REAL?! I'd really want to see a video from you and one photo outdoors late night without lights if possible! If that is easy for you then I'd be really happy!

Pretty cool photo for low light! The video quality on 120fps ain't that good i think, do you? It's the same quality like timeshift video!
Thanks for your time once again.

my bad, that was timeshift video from before cyberian
you need to count in that this is reduced quality due to automatic downgrade when uploading to onedrive

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!

I would, but like I said i don't like to root and install recovery, since i'm still on warranty (will be until December 2017) and since stock roms work perfect for me (except video recording on 6.0.1. .291). Thanks for your reply though.
Edit: I just saw that this ROM does need only ftf file, is this rom the one you're talking about? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/sonys-android-concept-marshmallow-t3229536)

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
