[Q] camera for free x10 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so im not sure if it is just me but i think the camera app on free x10 beta 4 SUCKS...is there a way to get the old 2.1 camera app on free x10 or is there a better camera app that someone recomends?

Actually....ive been doing a million tests with different camera apps lately and when it comes down to "picture quality" the beta 4 camera has stock se 2.1 beat easily. Anyways, if u dont like it and your on beta 4... your next best choice is vignette paid version.

[q] Vignette camra app

Has anyone used this app? I see many people using it with the incredible but I don't feel like spending the money if it doesn't enhance the pictures on our phones that much.
There is a free demo version you can try out.

I really like Vignette. The effects and settings are very cool and I think they are much less cheesy than some of the effects on other camera apps.
I second that. I have the full version, and its a very reliable camera app with some powerful features!

Just a software could make it works, but realize that is a kind of weird regarding you havent front camera, so you cant see and be seen at same time.

[APP] Market 3.4.4 for x10 mini pro

Hi people, found this whilst browsing the net.
Works on miniCM7pro.
Not sure if it works below 2.3 GB or not.
Should actually work on any android device running 2.3 I think.
Anyways, for those that want it, here it is. Main features are it runs a bit faster.
You are late, already posted.

[Q] How to reduce compression of photographs

Hello to everyone from a new forum member
I recently bought the Z Ultra as a replacement for my Galaxy Note II, and was expecting to have to still keep my iPhone 4S in the other pocket as a decent camera.
I noticed that the Z Ultra does take quite nice photos, and indoors they are often better than the iPhone! But I was shocked on zooming in to find that they have no detail at all, and that was explained by the fact all the photos are around 1MB in size (on the highest resolution setting)!! iPhone photos average 4MB, and Note II photos average 7MB.
I asked Sony support how to reduce the ridiculous level of JPEG compression on the photos, but they said it cannot be done. Is this really true? It's shocking if so! What's the point in even having a high resolution sensor if you compress the images so much it might as well be 2megapixel!?
Is there any replacement camera app that can take photographs with sensible compression levels, or would it require hacking the OS? I'd prefer not to root if possible. Can anyone help please? I love this Sony and it would be great for it to be my only phone.
Garry
I noticed this myself yesterday. I took some test photos and thought they looked nice, but then I zoomed in, and holy artifacts batman, that was quite bad. Try using a third party camera app from the play store.

The Z1 camera app is available for the Ultra in the Themes and apps section. Try that out, or install a third party photo app from the Play Store and see if that helps. I haven't installed anything yet since i'm not that interested in taking photos, so i can't tell if it helps or not.
Thx, I will try

Didn't try Z1 cam app yet, but I tried third party apps and the results are the same, even worse in low luminosity conditions (as third apps do not use the hdr backlight correction). I took a look on the media_profile.xml and changed value of ImageEncoding quality to 100/90/80/70/60/50 instead of 90/80/70/60/50/40 but didn't see any improvement. I guess it is ruled by one of the camera files, and I don't know how to find which and even less how to modify it.

The camera is a little better in 4.3. Still not great, but better.

I'm not sure, but I think it's a direct port of the Z1 257 camera app, and the Z1 also got updated to 4.3 with an improved camera, so my guess would be that the 4.3 for the Ultra is also "better" than the 257 port. I can't see how Krab could've modified it to be better.
I have no proof to back up my claims that the 4.3 camera is in fact better, but my first reaction when I took some low light pics the other day was that it didn't look as bad as expected. It may be a little better or I'm simply delusional

OP, Im using Camera 360, it comes with a "Keep Original Photo" setting. Maybe you like to try that. But I have to warn you, I switched it off because it's a pain to keep managing 2 photos for EVERY shot....
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
it looks the same...... are there other ways or apps to reduce the compression?
360 creates two files and for sure they dont look the same when i tested.
Also, try ProCapture and A Better Camera. Both had better low light result details than the stock one. ProCapture for example, has a reduced noise setting which works decently too.
