Mini 2 Camera - HTC One Mini 2

Is there in any way, shape or form that can improve the mini 2 camera's performance? The camera is laggy, slow and has hiccups. Thanks

One way is to select the internal storage for photos. This seems to improve performance to some extent

No help at all. The photo gallery isn't the issue

it seems something is interfering with the camera.
Make an HTC backup and reset you phone. Test camera if still problematic than it needs repair, (Contact HTC).
If after reset its good than it's definitely an app. You need to find it.

Improve Camera quality?

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?
Thanks and greetz from Germany, Munich

Would be great if someone improve Camera HAL... Be able to select Iso, Macro or Auto-Focus...

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.
camera fv-5 gives pretty decent results compared to stock

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

[Q] can someone help me stop heavy post processing?

I have a sony xperia Z C6603 and I absolutely hate something about the phone. Before i take pictures it looks great (amazing even) as i take the photo the picture is perfect, then after a second it processes it so much i look more like an alien from outer space than a human being. Not only this but the files are also ridiculously small compare to all other phones. I've downloaded the FV-5 app and it's great, but my photos from my front camera stll lokks like horse s***. i do not want other setting configurations, because nothing fixes it... Has anybody made a fix for this via rooting or whatever? i've searched all over the internet after a solution , but can't seem to find one. One of you geniuses must have a solution, right? (have the 4.3 android version and 10.4.B.0.569 build number).
Not yet. People have tried.many things but.no luck so far. At least Sony finally updated the camera app which was the same since x1 was released

That does not help with the secondary camera, it's bad quality no matter what I do.
My girlfriend has a Iphone 5 which deinitely takes better pictures than mine, I think you all agree that this is unacceptable, we must stand together and crush the underpowered Iphone with the wrath of our mighty hardware and fixed software!

we can see it two ways
the camera hardware sucks and we can't do anything about it
or the camera software sucks and we have to wait for sony to update their binaries and libraries and other stuff. which we also cannot do anything about.

Hello!
I have installed AOKP 4.3 ROM on my Xperia Z. When I need to take a fast picture, I just use auto ISO/Exposure...
When I wanna get better picture in low light, I just use a little bit tweaking In low light, when I'm taking picture of some close object, I just put ISO on 100/200 (max), use flash and that's it! When I'm taking picture a little bit further (3/4 meters), I use 200/400 ISO, and use flash if I can (very big con of our device is bad flash). When I'm doing night portrait, just put ISO on 400 and turn on HDR, photos will look awsome believe me
Tonight I could upload some pictures from my Z, just to give you some clue.
P.S. When you're using front camera, turn on HDR you will get a much better photo quality

I just flashed the ROM after aloooooooot of work and I currently have the PAC-MAN ROM and the picture quality is amazing. It takes pictures in JPEG automaticallly and the files aren't that big!

Solution: Improve Camera Results on Cyanogen-based ROMs Dramatically!

Background
Like most people out there, I've suffered with terrible camera results on Cyanogenmod 11 and 12: blurry, unfocused images, terrible resolution. I tried most of the alternative camera apps (including A Better Camera, etc) and they had horrible results. Cyanogenmod could not integrate TW, so there wasn't a way to get results as good as stock.
Solution
The solution I stumbled upon is Snap Camera . In an attempt to make a fair comparison, I always set equivalent settings on each app: (autofocus, HDR off, 16mp photo).
1. It produces astonishingly sharper and more attractive images than Google Camera on CM11 and CM12
2. It produces a better focus and sharper images than any other camera app I've tried on CM.
3. I tried it on stock Lollipop and it produces a sharper image than stock, but not as good as A Better Camera.
My guess is that Snap Camera has found a way to integrate with TW or with the RAW files.
Here are the links:

Try it and share your results from your CM-based ROM here.
I'm on stock ROM and I've been using snap camera for the past month, it's awesome! I don't use stock Samsung anymore.
I love the results since it removes the noise reduction =D. I've done so many comparisons (took pics and deleted them ) and it is just so much better than stock.

Yes it's the real thing. I just don't know why there are so many complaints in the CM and related threads about the camera performance. There is already a solution: Snap Camera simply gives the best results on CM.

Does it support phase focus shot? Then I switch[emoji4]

I just tried this (6.2.2 HDR apk) with not-so-great results. First post says "it removes noise" but thats precisely the problem I am having, that it is not removing noise. The shots are definitely sharper than the stock camera on OA6, which is finally like the stock camera on 4.4 with burst shots, etc, but the fact it has all this noise makes it un-usable.
The only change I made was to check the 'samsung camera' box.

Thanks for sharing. First: did you try adjusting the Sharpness setting? It is set on the highest extreme setting by default. Second: What does the Samsung Camera setting box actually do?
I think that the difference is much more dramatic on Cyanogenmod-based roms than on stock. I think that Snap can give you sharper images on a stock rom, but it's not going to be a gamechanger and you'll have to tweak settings.

I'm sorry- this thread was mainly geared towards people with CM-based roms. If you're like me, you will have tried dozens of different camera apps (including A Better Camera) on CM and gotten bad results. For some reason, Snap Camera seems to produce dramatically sharper results and focus than any other camera app I've tried on CM, especially Google Camera (which was truly terrible).
I'm sure that there are several camera apps that work well on a stock rom, but that's not the dramatic discovery I meant to convey here. I will adjust the OP to reflect this.

beats me what it does, I did not notice any difference. Yes, I played with the sharpness, still a ton of noise whether its on 0 or 6. If I play with the ISO settings I can reduce noise, the auto mode sucks.
You can check denoise but it blurs a little bit the picture
The 16mp pics at default settings create a 8mb photo. Pretty big...

Check that box and it will denoise but,
**it also cuts each picture size in half**.
By that I mean the file size. Resolution is the same but for example with denoise on, take a pic and let's say it is 6mb. Turn denoise off, take exact same photo again, you'll see that the resulting file size might be 12mb +/- 1 or 2 mb

I'm getting 3.3mb with denoise and 7.5mb without. I don't know how you are getting 12mb!
Denoise certainly helps clarify things like writing, but it does blur fine details.
I wonder if it's possible to use the 7.5mb image and just denoise it as needed? Picasa?

Can you clarify whether the Open Camera results you are referring to are on a CM-based rom??? Almost all the camera apps give good results on TW but have horrid results on CM.
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
Denoise is only in the Editor app right? As i can't see it in the camera app anywhere?
i'm currently on stock Bob7 lolipop rom.
The app certainly seems quicker than stock camera app, but as mentioned before it adds loads of noise to the photos.
My guess is that it defaults to a higher ISO setting resulting in faster shutter speeds ( less blur) but more noise in the photos.

[Q] Will the Lollipop update fix the terrible camera?

As we all know the sensor and lens on the Z3 are some of the best on the market right now. However, for some reason, Sony, who make maybe the best compact cameras out there, seems to have failed miserably in regard to the camera software in its phones. All photos come out with little detail, soft focus, artifacts and overprocessed. Do you think that will get fixed in 5.0(2)? Will the camera finally be comparable to, say, the Galaxy Note 4 or some of the Lumias?
Regards.
what terrible camera?
i'm no Ansel Adams, but i think the Z3c has a great camera, especially once you get the hang of it.

In theory yes. With Lollipop we will be able to take RAW images with the camera due to the new api. RAW images are unprocessed, straight from the sensor. The Sony camera sensor is good but the software image processing isn't. Taking photos in RAW eliminates the poor image processing so the images should be much much better.
Sent from my D5833
I actually agree on this, especially when taking photos. All the other devices I used before my Z3 Compact did not try to focus again after I already touched focus a certain area, but my Z3C actually does so as I press the shutter button. It also has trouble trying to focus on really close objects, only able to get precise focus 1/10 of the time.
I personally use google camera for simple, clear, low-processed pictures. The drawback is that the photos cannot be saved on the sd card w/o root.
Or, you can very well use the manual mode - this one also is pulling some nice photos, w/o blur,

Atleast on the regular Z3 you can choose to save photos and videos on the sd card directly.
Camera, the three blocks, settings icons.
I'm currently playing around with the app ABetterCamera and so far images are taken faster and low light photos look much better. They have an option to choose where to store the photos and if you choose external card it gives you the message Android doesn't allow that...BUT there is an option to choose custom folder which I pointed to the SDCard and it worked!
Yeah I find the camera terrible too.
My dads Note 2 takes much better pictures. If I put them side by side at a certain distance and take a picture of a piece of paper, on one I can clearly read what is written on it, and on the other it's all blurrines. I didn't expect this camera to suck that big especially compared to such an old low-res camera.
If that was not enough, colors are much more innatural on the sony, while the note 2 reproduces them much better...

I personally will not get my hopes up that Sony will do anything to the camera software to improve image quality just because 5.0 supports RAW format. Sony may not even include RAW support in their version of 5.0.
So many times, phone manufacturers pick and choose which features of android to implement or substitute that feature with their own.

The formal answer is "no" - it will NOT fix the poor image processing. RAW format is not supported by Sony in Android 5.0

Hardware is indeed great, but software is very bad, and since the combination of both make the picture, the camera needs to be fixed (software part).
I mean look at all the phones using SONY sensors, they take excellent pictures on AUTO. Z3? Nope, rarely. Manual is super, but sometimes you do not have the time to fiddle around with the settings. And no DNG RAW in 5.0.2? Well, totally wasted potential of this phone's camera.
I'm very disappointed with the Z3C camera too... I mean, considering the specs, I was hoping for a lot much better pictures.
I´ve just got mine, I did a lot of research before buying a new phone (I had a Note 2), and the main reasons why I bought this phone are: size/specs, battery life and camera. I also considered buying the Moto Maxx (Brazilian Droid Turbo variant) but the Z3C compactness (is this a word?) made me chose it and I'm kind of regretting it a little bit... lol

Camera FV-5 has always been my go-to in photography. Great UI, very configurable, and takes good pictures.
I've never tried any of those apps you mentioned other than ZR's camera (since it's stock), but know this: the smaller sized application it is, the less bloat, promo nonsense, and ad-junks you see on screen. Many Camera apps you see (including the ones you listed) on the Play Store are filled with junk, so go for something light (Open Camera is less than 1 MB!).
The stock app is OK, but it too is filled with bloat. The quality of the picture could be a lot better.
Camera FV-5 is a paid app, so unless you plan on shedding money for a good camera app, go for Open Camera (free version of FV-5 is useless). Open Camera's UI is ugly, but it takes good photos.

I'm in love with the Pexo Cam
I've tried Ciberian in the past but it almost made no difference.
Now-adays I installed PexoCam v8.5 and it's perfect!
Totally recommended by me

Only you can decide whether you prefer one or the other, so try them all out. You shouldn't expect someone else to decide for you; there are just too many variables in regards of how someone typically uses their camera...
