You could try an app from the market, or you could try and install an stock app from another phone on your xps

Don't use auto if u want better quality. This applies to most electronic appliances.

There's no ready solution for a one click quality picture. If you want it iPhone style with overcharged colours, adjust white balance and ISO.

Get a good half-pro camera, e.g. Sony NX1.

The best suggestion...
You wont get much better quality as all generic camera software will use the firmware libs/drivers - you could learn to dev android sdk, then mod the camera/drivers, work out how to change the quality matrix/compression with in the camera apk, devise how to convert photos for raw image format using the camera libs/firmware for better compression/ratio etc.

You cant make xperia s camera any better than default ability,
the only thing you can do are taking some great apps, or just buy the Sony NEXF3 :good:
Here are my suggestions:
1.UCam:the best all-around free camera app
2.HDR Camera: when you click it, it will take 3 photos in same time and combined with best quality
3.Cymera: used to take a "beauty" face picture, and not look wired.
4.Line Camera: if u wanna upload ur pic on facebook and chat with girls, use it.

I personally find the camera much better than the one on the 4S. The only issue I had was that when you ask it to take a photo straight out of quick launch, it would be horrible. Blurred and over exposed. The greatest single change you can make to the Xperia S (IMHO) is to change the quick launch camera option to Launch Only. Startup time is still 3 times quicker than the 4S, perhaps more, and perfect shots every time.

Root ur XperiaS
edit the build.prop
add this following code
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

Maybe this is not the answer you are looking for but...
To get Big pictures on contacts don´t sync with google contacts. Use the phone contacts app and choose a BIG picture for your contacts. It works great!

I´m glad you´re happy with this solution.
It´s very very weird that Google still needs a micro-picture contacts file in the time of HD-phones alike are available at affordable prices.

And I believe that was the same reason why you had smaller images in stock app.
So now that you used bigger picture you can try with stock app.

Is there a mod to disable the absolutely pointless restriction that doesn't let you use the camera during a call?

Anyone using camera 360?

When running camera 360 the screen seems to be out of wack. The image seems tilted and distorted. However, I when switching to the ffc and back it fixes the problem.
Anyone else have this issue? I'm on aokp m6 and the same thing happens on devil toast 0.74

Try using an updated version because it may have compatibility problems if you are using ICS.
The app kinda sucks anyway. But I think it's free and probably one of the better free ones. I users camera zoom fx, much nicer. But I always go back to the stock camera for some reason, got cool mods camera mod installed so it's a big improvement over htc's

I flashed the cool mods camera mod and compared to the camera 360. The pics do not appear as crisp and clear as with camera 360 .
To the other post, I have the most current version of the app installed

I think UCam is the best free camera app. I'm thinking of paying and going pro! Try it out and see how it works. I can use the feedback so I can install it on my sisters EVO3D.

It just kept crashing for me when taking a pic
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I can take the pic just fine. However, it is the preview that is distorted. It happens with Ucam, Camera360, and sometimes with Camera Zoom FX
EDIT* I believe it was the aokp rom I was on. I flashed sense 4.0 and no longer have the issue.

[Q] samsung stock camera on an aosp rom(root box)

Ho everyone, I've been having a great time with root box. I was a bit discouraged about using an aosp rom(because of all the extra features that Samsung roms have (ultima rom ) but the multitasking lag that I suffer from it was gone the moment i changed to an aosp rom. I miss some things about samsung roms, but otherwise I quite happy I did the change. But the only thing that I think is the best for me is the Samsung camera app. It has far superior quality and functions over the aosp one even though its faster in opening. But it lack the low light conditions that the Samsung one has(and don't tell that they has the same quality because it doesn't)
So to sum it up I wannna know if i can have the Samsung camera app over my rom( root box for the ones who skipped my intro) or something that I could do to use that camera. I know that there are some persons out there that could have the same question so i hope this can help them and that somebody gives any idea, thanks.

Not possible.
Samsung camera will only work on TW ROM.

No matter what camera you install, all will act roughly the same. Completely the same regarding lowlight conditions.
If you need a better camera, go back to Crapwiz.

Well by seeing the suggestion you are giving i will try to do dual boot with siyah kernel with a tw rom. Any suggestions about a light one, just to use the camera.

Well you could compile the camera apk with all the dependencies built into it (harder than it sounds). We did it back in the S1 days.

Losing Bravia eng. if bootloader unlocked?

In the rooted topic ShallaX mentions you lose the Bravia engine if you unlock the bootloader. Is that really so? That would really suck as it's one if the main selling points. I hope i misunderstood, so please tell me it ain't so.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I have been wondering as well as if you flash a custom ROM will the bravia engine activate again ?
Sent from my Find 5 using Tapatalk 4
Once you unlocked without backup the TA (Now can't also as backup TA need root)
The Bravia Engine / X-Reality will be permanent lost in photo viewing, the video part do working.

This really destroys my motivation to get an Ultra as I need root, but losing Bravia totally sucks. Not getting the full quality from the screen makes it pointless.

Just a detail here: Bravia Engine is only used in Album and Movies. If the BL is unlocked, it usually deactivates in Album but is still used in Movies.
So in all other apps - there's no Bravia Engine. So it isn't a feature that is THAT important, at least not to me. If you use QuickPic or any other app for photo viewing - BE isn't there. Using Photoshop? No BE etc.
So the only loss would be in the Album but to be frank, the Ultra has such a gorgeous display that BE isn't that important. I prefer QuickPic and the photos looks absolutely great.
It had been different if BE had been active all the time like an improved graphics driver but that isn't the case. I think it isn't a good idea to base the purchase on a feature that is only used in two apps.

Yup, BE is/was more important on the Z since it has an awful screen. The ZU has a great display straight out of the box, so I don't see this as a major issue.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Personally I load my photography works in 1020p to 24MP jpeg into my ZU, I cant'r really tell a difference between with Bravia or not.
I guess Braiva Engine would really help for lousy screens or your native file is low resolution.
Which again.. to me I don't see the point in getting a large screen device in FHD and above resolution to view anything below 720p.
Actually.. when I view 720p shows on my ZU I can actually tell the difference in quality between the same show in 1080p.. So IDK how I could tolerate any image or show that is less than 720p.
I don't know about the BE2 currently running on the C6082s out there, but yesterday I've tried a live display unit in Xperia store, and I checked it was a C6833 protoype. It has X-Reality in it, with some demo app that plays videos with some on-screen comparation between X-Reality and normal mode.
And boy, it IS different. VERY sharp (and I didn't notice noise from sharpening) and the color pops even more. Well, I don't know if I'll even realize the existence of X-Reality in real-life usage (and whether the x-reality itself will have the same effect as the demo in real-life scenarios), but seeing the demo made me a bit OCD about the absence of x-reality on an unlocked bootloader device..
Ha, I can wait for the x-reality firmware update and root w/o unlock bootloader solution and backup TA, if any motivation to unlock bootloader suddenly arise :silly:
Will you lose xreality if you unlock as well?

No one really know yet, but it is high possible lost as well.
X-Reality look like just another better version of Bravia Engine.
