Alright, I've been really upset with the performance of the video camera & playback on my Tilt. In desperation I installed an HTC Application for the Apache which allows you to overclock to 520 or 624. I've been playing with this for a full 10 days now & have to say that aty the 520mhz video is bettyer than bearable, I've had no freezes & my battery draw is roughly the same as before I installed HTC Performance. This does not scale with steps like other over/under-clocking programs, so I just activate it when I need video cam or with TCPMP. It's working Great for me.
The original OEM app it was extracted from has helmi's name on it. I can't figure out what it does, but there is a significant diference for me when running at 520mhz especially in Video Cam mode.

I installed - I enabled - I checked my Device Info (still 400). I ran sk benchmark with it on and off and results almost exactly the same. On what are you basing your info?
Tried it here to, doesn't seem to do anything for me either
sugar pill
I tried it too and noticed no difference LOL, I think its one of those times when someone thinks there running faster due to there special shoes
what's really interesting is that this program isn't even working writing the registry entries correctly. Under HKLM/Software/HTC/ this app writes a key called HTC_Misc. In that key are 2 sub-keys regarding the overclock. With the option to overclock turned off in the application, if you look at the registry you'll find that the ovefclocking is turned on. When you select 500mhz it turns off the overclocking registry. If you set it to 624 mhz, the keys are both set to 1 (on). I think this app needs some more work as it's not working correctly.
Maybe it's a sugar pill...
Yeah, I know fast shoes & all that. The funny thing is that almost all the Apache users found that the benchmarks were simillar to not using this app. but the majority of them also said that their unit was much more responsive. If it's a Placebo effect, it's a good one & I'll take it because my video cam actually captures things that are moving now, not just a blur. I'll reset & see if Tracker picks up any other changes anywhere else in the registry.
As far as what I'm currently basing my oppinion on, it's just that my camera is capturing moving people & items clearly.

Funny enough, the 520 setting feels faster & camera works better for me. Strange though.
a faster processor isnt going to reduce the required exposure time
I understand that, & I'm strictly talking about overall sys. response & the Video Cam. Before when people were moving it as horrible, they appeared as just a blur of motion. Now it records movements much more clearly. The only other thing I've done is installed TomTOm6 w/ a few maps.
I'll tell you what, I'll make a screen recording of video with & with out this applied & you will see what I mean.
Are you sure you're not just taking photos in better light conditions at the moment? The kaiser automatically switches to night mode when the light is poor, and then the camera becomes unusable.
also please review the post I meade eralier about registry keys. When this app is set to 520, the actual registry entries show that overclocking is turned off.
This is DEFINITELY Placebo effect.
dang, this got me pretty excited...
Just as a final nail I tested corecodec benchmark of the spiderman3 movie I have on storage.
Non Over - 97.43% playback rate
520 - 96.62
640 - 96.00
So all in all I think we can call this one dead.
PS: Yes it does piss me off the playback isnt 100%+ but thats the drivers thread not this one.
Hi,
I'm unrooted, stock V10h.
After noticing that the stock camera photos are very compressed (8MP photos never go above 3MBs) with no option to change that, I installed Camera Zoom FX. All seemed good, but then on a sunny day after taking *lots* of photos, noticed I couldn't view some of them on the phone, although thumbnails were there. Came home, transferred to PC, opened and noticed that the ones the phone couldn't display were corrupted. All of them, had a gray bar at the bottom, some more, some less. Obviously the compressed jpg stream was broken after some point.
Thought it was Camera Zoom FX's problem, because this never happened with the native camera app. Uninstalled.
Still wanting better quality, installed Camera ICS. Great too. But same problem too (on some photos again).
Went on to install Camera MX. Same.
Finally narrowed it down to this:
if resulting photo is > 5MB (more precise: if > 5130 KB) then it's corrupted
(and that's why the native camera doesn't have this problem: there's no way to choose better JPG quality for it to make 5MB photos).
I thought: memory speed problem. But then again, the photos were saved in the phone internal memory. Internal memory is not supposed to have speed problems. Anyway, I tried saving to Class 6 and Class 10 SD card, and the results were the same.
Anyone know about this?
Also, please report if your >5MB pictures are fine (in case you shoot at that quality), and what app you use to take them.
Note: the problem seems to be there with jpg photos in general, irrespective of device. Here's a link of someone experiencing the same photo corruption on a normal camera (Casio EX-F1). The problem with my photos is exactly as in the photo he posts a bit later in the thread.
Ok noone seems to know anything about it.
Could someone at least please report if you can get photos equal to or above 5Mb in size, whatever camera app you are using and whether the photos are ok?
(to get that quality, you must select 8 megapixels and then the highest quality in some other setting. For example camera zoom fx and camera mx have a percentage slider (set it to 100), while camera ICS names the quality (select ultra). Also a steady shot and lots of light is needed for the pictures to go up to 5Mb even in these settings.)

Just tested with Camera ICS.... Same issue as you. Photo was 5,266,434.00 bytes.
Using V10h Euro Open.
i had the same issue on deodexed ICS i had a week after purchase, and after i installed this mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855818
i tought the mod broke my camera, but i guess it was this bug/limit.
Thank you both for reporting. At least now we know it's an (LG implementation?) android bug.
Really annoying to me, as I would like to use the camera's full potential. Hope this gets fixed in the upcoming JB for 4X.
(although in order for something to be fixed, LG would have to know. And this problem surely hasn't received attention since it seems I am the first one to bring it up).
It would be interesting to see what would happen if someone with v20a tested this.
Yes indeed.
On another note, I also checked GeoCam and sometimes it gives an error (not enough memory or something). The photos that it saves with no problem are maximum < 5 Mb, so I assume it is the same problem. But this app demonstrates that there is a way for the programmer to know that during saving the photo something did not go as expected.
Where exactly the bug lies, is another matter.

i might try the mod in official 4.1 when it's out and someone releases a deodexed version, just to check if it works on JB.
this is quite a strange problem we have on our hands, i did some search on google, and haven't found many similar problems.

Hello ksekhar. I found a problem in the LG firmware, it appears in your mod too.
In third-party programs (ICS camera+) and in your camera mod of the compression quality jpeg minimum, maximum file size.
In some conditions, such as the leaves in the sun, the size of the file begins to exceed 5 megabytes. Then the problems start.
This file is written to the error (broken jpeg file). I've been thinking why this is so and finally got it.
In your version, you just increase the compression quality to any situation the file size is not more than 4-5 MB.
Also, if you is not difficult, please do me a version (as we did earlier) which fixes only compression jpeg,
but the quality of compression should be a cross between the standard version and your version.
Or tell me how I myself can change the quality of compression.
For example (like photoshop - compression level from 0 to 12)
Original LG camera - compression 9
Your mod - compression 12
The required - compression 10.

i have this problem too
when photo taken exceeds 5MB.. it is broken...and it happened too often. any solutions?
Click to expand...

Ok, that's bad...
For now, I check whether the thumbnail of the just taken photo appears correctly (inside the photo application). If not, it's a sign the photo has exceeded 5 mb. Then I go to settings, reduce the quality, reshoot.
Or, one can use Camera MX and set the quality slider to 90-95. Then the photos are better than stock camera, and they don't exceed 5 mb.
Since noone cares for this problem I can only hope the new firmware automagically hasn't got this problem. If it does.. we'll see then...
Bad news... Just updated to official V20a, and the same issue persists. a 5.02mb JPEG resulted in an image which was half ok, half greyed out and corrupt.
Only hope now a mod, or a custom ROM..
Ok, is there a way mother LG can be notified about this? (and don't tell me phone support in my country, they can only handle basic stuff. They won't understand what I'm talking about and respond like "use the official camera application"...)

Not that I know of.
i have no idea why, but yesterday i took some pictures with my 4x (with the stock lg camera app!).
the most pictures had around 1,5-2,5mb , one hat 4,7mb and one 5,05..
the ->5mb pic is corrupt..
never saw this error on stock, im using stock camera app on my CM
Anyway, i reported this bug to CM on the 4X forum, lets see if they can help. would good if more people confirmed this bug on CM forum..
I have a little experience about this bug.
Last time I flashed google's camera 4.2 with photosphere, camera.tegra.so and libnvmm_camera.so (modded to disable denoise filter) and stock camera. The result was that wherever camera I used (stock, cm, google's) the pic were corrupted (taking photos in dark). Just few of them were OK.
Here are modded .so files - works with CM10.1 (made by me, if you want i can made thread for them):
http://db.tt/2Lfxuehq - camera.tegra.so pasted to /system/lib/hw
http://db.tt/LXdwvJUZ - libnvmm_camera.so pasted to /system/lib
Sth more I will say when I come from holidays.
Hi! I haven't bought my device yet, and I still have some questions.
the thing about the auto-mode, is it that it just takes 8Mpix photos? Also, I read somewhere that the device can take several photos, and you get to pick the best. Is this just in auto-mode, or can you still use that if you switch to use the full sensor-size?

You can use 21 megapixels in manual mode, but they're compressed to 8 megapixels in size but you are sampling from a better higher source

Oh, they're squished together.
Do you know if this is the work of the camera software or if the hardware somehow produces that sampling? If it's the first I imagine one could make a mod so that it actually saves the 20mpix high-res source.
Guys,
I've started a multi-part article series discussing how the Note4's camera should be used (and how it compares to other high-end phones, cameraphones or even standalone cameras).
The first two parts in the series have already been published:
Part I: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3781966
Part II: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3782300
This series will be of particular interest to Snapdragon 805 users. Exynos users, at the moment, will find the series less interesting, as third-party apps, currently, can't access the (almost) non-processed image stream and they, consequently, can't export non-overprocessed images.
EDIT (2015/01/17): Part III is published on HDR: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3782850
EDIT (2015/01/24): a brand new writeup is here at XDA; you should start with it instead of the previous ones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/shooting-light-best-image-quality-note-4-t3012008

How to manually change shutter speed to 1/8s in Snap Camera HDR app? Thx
masterchif92 said:

Click to expand...

Basically, if you have an Exynos device, the stock Camera app unless
- you're absolutely sure you don't need shutter speeds under 1/30s (the restriction of many apps, incl. FV-5) and
- you do need the on-screen controls of that app.
Otherwise, the image quality will be the same so there's no advantage in using any third-party app for shooting, as opposed to the Snapdragon case.
If you have a Snapdragon device, you can get far-far better image quality out of your camera in both still and video shooting mode because of the lack of noise reduction and oversharpening. Then, using third-party apps like Snap camera HDR is preferable, assuming, of course, you don't need features like dual camera.

You can't - the pre-Lollipop API doesn't let for directly setting the shutter speed. The device will automatically use 1/8s when there's little light.
You'll need to make sure you do enable the Photo > “Samsung Camera Mode” checkbox; otherwise, it will NOT be able to go under 1/15s, resulting in a complete loss of no less than 1EV. At least on Snapdragons; I couldn't test this on Exynos devices.

Then, if you really want to see in which cases third-party apps can produce significantly better images, you really want to compare my example shots of the stock app to those of, say, Snap camera HDR - see the crops in my article.
Basically, the stock Camera app applies far too much noise reduction and oversharpening, pretty much ruining fine detail and introducing ugly oversharpening halos. Photos produced by third-party apps, incl. Snap camera HDR, are far more natural.
Just writing my HDR article. The first two parts of the new article is already published: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3782850
Very nice articles. Thanks for doing them.
Is there any way to get rid of the cruddy yellowish look I get on low light photos on my phone? My wife's phone doesn't have this at all, and both of the Note 4s that I have had do. I've been very unimpressed with the low light abilities of this phone, so far. I'd love a solution that doesn't involve sending the phone in to maybe be fixed.

Yup, 6.2.0 has just been released. I've tested it; it works flawlessly, at least on Snapdragon:

Hi there. It's a nice report! However i do have some input
1. The stock camera does do 1/4s in rare occasions , happens for me when I do shots in not-well lit conditions and yet insufficient for camera to engage in night mode.
2. I have no idea if its just me, but night mode does not downsize my photos to 6mpix no matter how dark the scene is. It still stays at 5312x2998. N910G here. Details of photos on poorly lit scenes do not have significantly worse detail for me as compared to well lit ones and file size is in fact larger by a bit. (the room is still not too dark though).
IMO the stock camera does some sort of multi frame noise averaging technique (similar to canon's and sony's "Hand-held Twilight") to reduce noice.

It'd, then, exhibit a much higher probability of camera shake / stitching errors. The relative noiseless-ness is because of the very-very strong noise reduction. (Or, maybe, because of the "G" model you have is somewhat different from the European one? I wouldn't think so - after all, both are Snapdragon-based.)

Could you take low-light images with an LCD computer screen displaying white
- without(!) using f.lux or other tools to decrease the white balance (this is equal to about 7000K) and
- at both a very low brightness level (to "kick in" night mode) and a high one (to avoid night mode)
with both phones? Preferably in "auto" and "incandescent" WB modes on both phones.

Unfortunately, I deleted those photos as it was blurry due to the unexpectedly low shutter speeds or that the picture sucked. I will post if I can reproduce that setting again.
As for the noise averaging mode...
1. It will not cause camera shake/stitching errors even if you hold still. Why? If you were to shake your phone violently, the software is smart enough to abandon image stacking altogether & the final image produced is the result of just 1 picture that has a little fine bit of extra noise reduction maybe.
2.Samsung's night mode is not well documented, unfortunately, despite them having this mode since Galaxy SIII.
However, the answer lies hidden in one of their support page for galaxy S4
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/howtoguide/N0000003/10094/120418/SGH-I337ZBMATT
"Night: Take photos by combining them to get a brighter, clearer photo in low light, without flash."
Now, you may think that perhaps this mode only applies to the S4's night mode, so I did a mini test.
(click on photos to zoom in)
(1)
Image taken with night mode
(2)
Image taken WITHOUT night mode under same conditions (This is done by tricking the camera to first take a photo in bright light,continue holding down the shutter button to engage burst shot, quickly direct phone to subject and wait for phone to adjust to the right exposure)
(3)
Same image from (2), but edited in Lightroom by dragging the luminance noise slider to like 40.(there is little or no chroma noise, so I did not touch that slider)
As you can see, despite their photos taken under the same conditions, (1) is the best as it as less noisy compared to (2) and sharper than (3).If Samsung really did engage in strong noise reduction at night mode, much fine detail would be lost and the photo will look like an oil painting when you pixel-peep. Thus , night mode photos you take will look more like (3) than (1), when (1) is the actual night mode photo in reality.
3. Another good guess that Night mode is actually a multi frame mode is that, all night mode's photos have their EXIF data eroded.
(Fun fact, dpreview says iphone 6+ does this too)
"the built-in, stock Camera app may have too strong noise reduction and oversharpening"
IMO, Im sorry but I disagree, too strong noise reduction would mean that photos from the note 4 would be too smooth and would lack any fine detail at all, which from my observations isnt true. Samsung excels in that area. Also, oversharpening is also not the case, oversharpened photos often result in false detail and look contrasty/frosty which is again, not the case to me.
EDIT: oversharpening and noise reduction could be a matter of taste so it could be true for some
Hi everyone,
I thought I'd post this as since I've had my S5 (within last 6 months) I have been quite disappointed by the quality of the camera images, particularly in mid to low light. Having had a Xperia Z2, LG G3 and G2 I had seen that the S5 was meant to have by far the best camera out of its peers. Unfortunately, while not as anywhere near as bad as the Z2, the S5 is significantly worse than both the G3 and the G2, mainly due to the awful noise reduction implemented by the Samsung firmware. The Z2 also had this problem in spades, and the only way to remove it was to unlock the bootloader and erase the DRM keys.
I though that this was the same on the S5 (or even completely impossible), but have recently discovered a camera app called 'Snap Camera HDR' in the Play Store. There is a free version and a paid version.
The app is the most fully featured camera app I have seen (I have used Open Camera, Camera FV-5 and many others), with tonnes of options and manual controls.
They key thing though is that it allows you to disable the built in noise-reduction: Go through the menu and select, then deselect the option 'Denoise'
There are also options to select 'Samsung Camera Mode' which enables real-time HDR (you have to select 'Use OpenGLES 2.0' under 'Other'), and you can also increase image sharpness and
change compression levels.
I've done some real world tests and I think the difference is huge. I'd rather have a little bit of noise and keep a sharper, more detailed, more natural image.
Here are some comparisons (I've cropped them down so you can see the detail more easily):
(P.S.: I have absolutely nothing to do with the Snap Camera developers)
Hm, nice find. I'm not sure if I'd need it thought since I'm on the Note 7's camera app. Any idea if the Note's camera app has this problem or not? I'm no picture taking guy so i can't tell by myself. I've barely used my camera during the past 3 years.
PS: The S5's camera was never good in low light, its strength was only during the day
great, great discovery I was propio looking for a good room for lineage 15.1 unofficial, thanks
This also seems to work without root (I have root but the app has never asked for SU permissions). I'm not sure why other camera apps don't have this feature.
Camera FV-5 has several image adjustments (such as saturation and sharpness) but they don't actually seem to work.
I have an AT&T S5 so I'm unfortunately stuck with stock based ROMs. Does anyone know if this heavy handed noise reduction exists on AOSP or other ROMs?
This might actually make me like my S5. I'm looking forward to getting out and taking some decent shots with the phone now!
Here is an example of the highly customisable UI
Also the built in camera of LineageOS 14.1 has the option to disable camera noise reduction.
With this camera you also have the possibility to take pictures in RAW mode without compression and you can also use HDR mode (but without flashlight) :good:

With this camera you also have the possibility to take pictures in RAW mode without compression and you can also use HDR mode (but without flashlight) :good:

RAW? I didn't think Camera2 was supported on the S5 hardware..? Is the Lineage camera available as an apk?

I don't know if it is RAW but pictures in best quality mode have a very big filesize.

Probably not RAW then. You'd know if it was RAW as you'd have to use a special image viewer and process the photographs afterwards.
I can't install it to test unfortunately as I'm limited to Lollipop.
Resurrecting this.
Tried the app in a hope it would allow me to disable the noise filter on my Galaxy Note 7 LDU. It does. But it also restricts the shutter speed to 1/10th of a second. Unacceptable having up to 10 seconds capability. Overall the app has a hard to use and confusing UI. Users complain that there is no support at all to ask devs for help or features. Ditched it.

Fair enough. I still use it and as far as I'm concerned it's the best camera app for Android. I get what you mean about the UI, but what I like is that you can customise it quite a lot.
You can use the 'gesture' / 'pie' controls, or (as I do) chose to add all the required switches and adjustments as static buttons around the camera edge.
