Is it possible for developers to implement continuous autofocus for Atrix? Camcorder sucks tbh. Even in 1080p, everything is blurry and choppy.
Any chance for this? Optimus 2x managed to get a mod for this so there could be a way as this may be software related.
What do you think?

I'll be interested in this as well.
PS: wrong section, I think if you post in q&a section then you'll get more responses.

We went about a whole week with no one posting a question in the dev section now we gotta start all over......THANKS! jk lol.

This is a request which doesn't belong as it's own dev thread. Infraction given to OP, thread moved to Q & A as reading & moving irrelevant threads waste moderator and developer time.
OP, if you have a favorite ROM, you may want to check with the person responsible for that ROM to see if your idea is something they'd consider.
i had continuous AF for like 2 days but for some it wont auto focus anymore. There was no root needed i used the app LGCAMERA free or pro theyre both the same. Lets you record 1080 @ 60fps

But TBH, it doesn't really work. It's terribly buggy.
Did the continuous autofocus work though?
I know but no the Cont. AF doesnt work anymore
BUMP!!! would love a mod for this :] any possibility of it happening?

Hey guys, Thanks to the community I've become somewhat comfortable with flashing kernels and roms but I'm afraid I still have some questions and requests
Does anyone know of any list that outlines known issues of various custom roms?
For example I found out that Cyanogenmod7 has issues with the camera, for example in my case when i start recording a video, its zoomed in and cant zoom out, etc
Check the development thread relating to the particular rom or kernel ? There's no "easy way" to find this stuff out. It either takes reading/research on your part, or trying the rom/kernel out for yourself & learning that way.

I just did cm7 and find that apps that i dont even use are turning on randomly. Even if i close all running apps right away they will start to come back on again.

Are you recording in 1080p?
It will be like that on all ROMs, it's to do with the way the camera handles 1080p recording.
It's been explained better elsewhere on the forum, but basically it takes a full size image from the sensor and crops it down to 1920x1080 to reduce the processing it has to do.
This won't be as prominent in 720p if you try it, that's handled differently although I can't remember how exactly.
Custom roms all have issues often posted on front page other issues are found as users try the phone and report back .
As said CM7 front page post one .
Upon review of user feedback and bugs that have been discovered with what was released as 7.1.0 stable, we no longer feel the 'stable' tag is appropriate for this rom.
The download is still available, however it is now being treated as a Release Candidate, rather than a proper stable release.
Sorry for all the confusion, and any issues you may experience. We will release a 7.1+ once we feel the ROM has matured to a truly stable status.
Checkrom 3 got rid of my notification bar, sd card, and a few other things, had 2 format my internal sd card and flash a new rom.

Thanks guys yeh i realise that they post the issues but they aren't as specific as id hoped thats all.. I really love custom roms, but i just hope there's one with out errors with camera and one with a music app that enables the 5.1 surround on my phone

If you only use Touchpad for Skype, why dont you boot into WebOS. Skype video working perfect there.

Webos supports skype very nicely if this is all you use the touchpad for.
I have ICS on mine as well and most of the time I use webOs seems to support almost every site i go to. I have only found a few site it wont work on,Netflix windows live, Hulu.
I use ICS for netflix dont use Hulu and for windows live i just use the webOs email client and hotmail or windows live works fine.
The only thing I am trying to find is a book reader that views text files and has a bookmark or save page function in it , Ics has kemsoft and works but many times bookmark wont work .

No.
And aren't there already like 10 other threads about this?
Still no.
[5 minutes later]... Still no.
Camera is most likely not going to be working for a very long time, despite HP releasing the source for the hardware (or are they still delaying it) and its the last on the priorities list for any developer. I suggest use WebOS for skype cuz that works brilliantly
I'm very confused because I read in another thread in the Question-Answer section that it would come out in two weeks?
Could anyone fact check this?

I really want the camera n mic to work too. Is the ics kernel or driver the problem?

This is not the place to pose this question. The place to ask would be Rootzwiki, where the dev's can be found. There you'll find changelogs and sourcecode for just about everything, and you can certainly make changes and compile it yourself.
If you honestly and seriously know what you're talking about, and think you can help, the dev team would probably be very appreciative of assistance. Meaning, if you can code that stuff, great- lend a hand. But if you're just curious, then try to research your question without nagging the devs. They work hard, and for free. You could begin researching the topic, here.
Now, in answer to your question. I could be wrong. I'm just a simple Java/C# coder who can also do a bit of web. But it was my understanding that the driver is the issue. The source code for the kernel has been released, but (also as I understood it, I could be wrong) the entire kernel was not released. The drivers for mic and cam, however, were not released (again, if I understood correctly). So there's the problem. And further, the cam and mic are not at the top of the devs' list of priorities. They are working on other stuff that they feel is more important, about which I tend to agree, unknowingly. I mean, they recently (in the last 4-6 weeks) got us hardware acceleration working (in several applications, but not all). What I mean to say, is that there are bigger fires to be put out that users don't typically see as fires. But also, the cam and mic drivers not being released is a pretty big chunk of code. AFAIK they were going to have to begin to write these from scratch, which is a pretty hefty challenge that they've chosen not to undertake at this point. That's their prerogative, and I'm not going to nit-pick about that.
Basically, if you need cam and mic, you can install CM7 (which has bugs of its own) or you can boot into webOS. Those are our options at the moment.

Or learn software development and learn to write drivers and contribute!
Personally, I know I can't code worth a damn, so I just accept what other people write.
I have used stock roms, Cm7.2, Miui, and Cm9.
Only to be continually disappointed by my photography results. I hope I don't insult anyone because I respect the photon by I had similar problems with the Atrix cough Motorola cough.
Has anyone found a good camera app.. Thanks and please don't take it negatively just honest.

Thanks, may I ask where I would download that? Also I am currently with locked boot loader rooted with Ics keyboard and launcher pro. Lightning launcher is cool too. Anyways I realize the stock camera is pretty good and the pictures I had from ICs were not so bad.
I use camera zoom fx, and it works pretty well. I at first thought that my camera didn't take good pictures either, but once I put it on the computer it came out looking a lot better than I thought.

Agreed. The Photon screen makes human skin look redish-greenish. Transfer your pics to a computer and they'll look a lot better.
Hi everyone
I would like to know why our camera doesn't support long shutter speed (30-60 secs), I know it's a limitation of camera2API, but isn't there a way to edit those drivers so we can make it possible? I mean, what's the difference between 1 sec shutter speed (which is aviable for the moment only with the stock camera app in night mode) and 30 seconds shutter speed? I guess the sensor would be able to behave in such a way and since Sony refuses to modify their drivers, would it be too difficult (or impossible) for a developer to activate this feature? I would pay gold for it :fingers-crossed:
I think you should talk with @mkdmc or @[email protected] users. They're developers who know about this things. I invite to you to search their camera mods to see their jobs in http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps
Still
I've already seen their mods, but as far as I've seen the limitation is still there: 1 seconds... Anyway thanks for answering, will try to contact them for sure

Yeah that's why i comment you, ask them for your question. I think it's not that easy to make the limitation out, but maybe it's a chance with Nougat. Hope the developers find the way to make the good z5 camera work with better functions.
Can't understand why Sony doesn't allow this and also the ability to capture RAW pictures... There is popular demand all over the internet! Maybe it's because they're selling external qx cameras... who knows

Yeah it is a pity because imx 300 is a good sensor, not the best for low light but still good. It's funny because if they won't bring more manual controls for qx cameras, they at least should put Raw in those products, but no, only jpeg xD. Whatever, i really trust in developers of XDA because they're hardly working for bring us what Sony should do initially.
Its a shame as soon as you post a thread wondering why / when sony will get RAW support they remove the post instantly. I loved this phone until the camera support started to get sucky.
We need dev's who can modify the camera blobs (Which will of course take ages since they are not open source)
So, I tried to contact mkdmc and [email protected] as you @SebastianAlejandro suggested me to.
So far mkdmc didn't answer me and I doubt he will ever do so, while [email protected] did, something like a month ago, telling me that he would have talked to other developers about my request (longer shutter speed).
So I'm hoping to get an answer, but it will probably come after Christmas holidays, maybe when Nougat will be released. I'll keep you informed?

Thanks for the info. I really hope that Nougat will unlock all possibilities for the camera. peter.schwake says that new updates maybe will come in this days so let's wait what news he bring to us.

Seems like Nougat didn't give too much improvement about this so far? haha. Do you have any news?
Anyway I found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/apk-lcamera-longer-exposure-shooting-t3516152
Wondering if it would work on our device too
If someone is still interested, I update to tell you that maybe long exposures are possible on aosp roms, with the help of "Freedcam" (defcomg developer). If I'll be able to, I will try by myself.
Hey guys, I saw this on the xda portal and since I think the stock camera sucks I gave it a go.
Surprisingly it worked on Badboyz rom 3.2.
Just try it out for yourselfes, it seems promising to me!

But none of these let me adjust video brightness, which is sad.
Only Open Camera does that.
Anyone has a good video camera alternative?
Stock is sooo dim.
It's been talked about many times now so try a search.
People found snap camera to work very well.
Did your photo quality improve?

You are the one who needs to do some reading I think.
I made this thread for a camera app that did not exists when people were talking about the alternative camera apps, also no one talked about the video brightness in snap cam or any other cam app to be honest.
I did my searching before posting, maybe you should do your reading as well.
