While I absolutely love the Eclipse 2.3 rom on my X2, and appreciate all the work that went into it, I might have to give it up. The camera just doesn't function well. While it does work, the quality is terrible. I need it to output good quality pictures (Almost as if it were on the stock rom). Is there any work around to this?
Thanks so much,
Bob
That's strange. i've been on Eclipse 2.3 since it came out and haven't noticed any quality changes in my pictures. Can you post one just so we can see?
i just tried mine and the pics and videos are the same as my dx running vxl1.0. great quality
After doing a reset and re-loading Eclipse, it seems to have improved considerably.
Thanks for the responses....

I see scattered posts all over the forums about taking pictures with the G-Tab's camera - only to have them come out highly pixelated and very, VERY low resolution. It happens to me under CM7, and has been just as bad with other ROMs I've tried.
And taking videos is simply a non-starter. Freezes after 2 sec and nothing is saveable.
Has anyone come up with a solution/fix? Thanks!
I believe the video recording issue is due to the lack of hardware drivers for video encoding/decoding for Gingerbread...

Definitely Video recording is because there are no hardware drivers available for gingerbread from what i read and for the camera you may want to try another camera app, but it could be related to not having hardware drivers.
Makes sense...except for anyone with Gingerbread! Thanks, all.
BTW, check out the latest CM7 nightly 42... the camera works great including video recording!!!

(slapping forehead) I just went back to VEGAnTab to use the camera. #[email protected]%#^&!
Okay...thanks! Back to CM7.
Is this a new release? Last cm7 i tested was nightlies 41 and cam/ video was all bugged up.
[edit]
WOW awesome they fixed this issue. I'm almost convinced to flash this back on my g tab and test it out again.

Well, sorry. Flashed and still very pixelated stills. Recording a video doesn't crash the app, but nothing in playback except inky darkness. Sigh.
Video works "OK"... not great... pics are still pixelated tho!!

Well that's not quite "the camera works great including video recording!!!" - is it, Craig? Come on, man. Test it before making declarations like that.
Sorry. A little peeved since I reflashed my tab for this.
yeah... it seemed to work great... I wasn't expecting great video quality, so it was what I expected... but the photos looked good in the Gallery app... but were pixelated when I viewed them on my PC...
really sorry for "semi-false" news!!
Still no photo and video for GTab Ginger?
This really is too bad. I have Gingerbread on my GTab and the photo quality is terrible (pixilated) and the video does not work. The photos were really clear before I flashed to Gingerbread. I can't seem to find a satiffactory solution anywhere. Then there is the whole issue of video chat....

gojimi is working on a fix for his VEGANtab ginger edition, no eta yet but like all things gingerbread, eventually it will work.
If you must have camera/video/hardware acceleration for video playback, stick with froyo based roms for now.
When I first received my GTab with the stock ROM the camera quality was pretty good and clear. When I switched to gingerbread the camera quality deteriorated and is really pixilated and just bad. There is no feature to refine the photo quality from low to medium to fine etc that you see on other tab cameras. I had a really cheap tab from China running on 2.1 that had better camera quality. I read somewhere that the issue may be that there are no drivers in Gingerbread for the Gtab camera. Is this true and is there a way to get back to the original stock camera quality that came with the Gtab out of the box? Thanks, I am new to this, tried to read a lot but can find no clear answer to this issue.

All of the Gingerbread roms suffer from poor camera capture, it's a known software problem, it should be resolved (according to a few developers who have posted) in not to far off revisions/releases.
If you want fully functional video acceleration and camera, stick to any of the Froyo (non-gingerbread) roms that are more closely based off the stock ROM, while waiting for the gingerbread rom kinks to get worked out.
Camera fun free works but reads the rotation sensor wrong so the display is 90 degrees off
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's because we are don't have the nvidia drivers for gingerbread so the camera and video playback is sub par

Well blow me down... it does! Thanks. I could never find any that were happy with any Ginger rom.
Hello, I have a Verizon Galaxy S4. Pretty impressed with it, besides the fact the front facing camera seems cheap. It seems like the front facing camera fps or frame rate is horrible, and drops in low light. I know about about how some fps will drop blah blah blah. I'm just concerned. I tested my old HTC Rezound and Motorola Photon 4G's front facing camera's, and they kept a crispy, and fixed 30FPS in any condition in lighting, including almost pitch black! The S4 FPS is barley getting like.. 8FPS if that, and super choppy and blurry. In light, it's great of course. If it's not super bright, it's horrible.
Im running HyperDrive RLS 9.1 DeLuXe with stock ME7 kernel.
I don't understand why this is happening to such a hyped phone.
Does it have anything to do with my camera firmware?

Its a problem with the ME7 and the stock kernel. flash a different kernel and that should fix it.

Thank you, I will give this a shot. Can you DM or post a link of kernels that are compatible with my Hyperdrive RLS 9.1? What kernels are compatible with being flashed in safestrap?
Thank you very much for the quick reply man, I appreciate it. Really.

Hi I'm experiencing the same problems, from day 1, using stock everything, no root of anything else. I'm on nc5,dknt know about my kernel. Should I flash something through Odin?
I switched from a Samsung rom to an Aosp rom a week or so ago, and while I'm loving most things about it, I really find the default Android camera lacking compared to the Samsung one. The Samsung camera has better focusing, much, much easier to navigate menus, takes better night shots, has stabilization, and seems to consistently take better pictures. Is there any way to get it to work on aosp? I remember there being a way to do it on the s3. If not, what camera apps do you guys use?

Unfortunately you will be unable to use the samsung camera app on aosp. I purchased camera zoom fx and use that. I also have heard people recommending snap hd camera but I haven't personally tried it. The picture quality doesn't seem to be as good on aosp as touchwiz. It's a trade off of running aosp but worth it imo.

i reccommend the motorola one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387369
i also like the Camera Zoom app. But the motox one is best.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll give your ideas a try. I've used HDR camera before with good results, but I'd like an all around good app. I think I'll try the moto one first. EDIT: I tried the moto one. I love the interface, but there are no settings for anything such as video or picture quality, or storage location.
Hi i have on my S4 mini 9195 the CyanogenMod 12.1.
I am looking for the best camera that allows you to take pictures in high resolution and full screen.
Thanks in advance :good:
I assume you mean best camera application, try camera 360 ultimate
Im been using Camera ZOOM Fx for years and still find it a great camera app on my S4 mini.

Using it as well and I am happy with it
Try: Focus or Cyanogenmod camera app, they're pretty similar but I prefer CMcamera.
Open camera is the best by far.
i really like the stock camera. And bec of it i am coming back to stock rom from cm12.1, i really like cm12.1 Rom. i am sometime go for it but come back to stock rom because of camera. Tried alots of cameras some are mentioned here. Which are good but i kinda of not satisfied with them . i wish sometime in future Stock camera come to cm.

Will never happen. As source for this has never been released by Samsung. Has been this way for ALL custom ROMs since ever. The camera is the main reason I keep going back to stock. Focus is horrible on pretty much all custom ROMs. But because of major security flaws in stock OS I'll be switching back to CM.
Maybe auto focus is terrible but manual is damn good for macros. I used to make macros of smartphone motherboards, mostly after water damage to show clients that they phones wasn't stop working just by themselves. I can tell You on stock pictures from my phone was a lot worse than my coworker iPhone 5 and now they are a lot sharper and brighter than on his iPhone. I never tested outside photos on CM but I think it's only matter to feel manual focus.
Snap on CM11
Also using 12.1 on s4 mini, I've tried all cameras but have settled on Snap Camera HDR. Focuses fast and accurately, and doesn't lag. Also works well in lower light.
I just came back from CM 12.1 to CM11 in my S4 Mini Duos and switched to snap Camera HDR. Far better than built in CM11 camera app. The only thing I miss is the capturing with on/off button...
I use A Better Camera
Google Camera is pretty fast.
I've settled on A Better Camera (running on CM12.1) as I like layout etc., admittedly auto focus is not as good as CM app in some lighting conditions but a quick tap on the screen and it will focus perfectly.
Try the Ucamera application.
It is very good and it has many effects. It s available on play store
Google Camera is a pretty good choice.
It is not so simple. You can not have the same quality stock cam because any cam app is working with generic drivers in CMs or any other ROM CM based . For the same reason , the audio (mostly capture) also will never have the same quality.
It is a price to pay: Camera and audio quality worse.
Some apps can even do a good job, but difficult to achieve equal quality.
Until the other day I used CM13 and even liked, but needed quality to scan a document on an emergency. I had to restore Stock Backup. I lost the desire to again change the ROM and stayed in Stock. Unfortunately it is a reality.
Some apps can even do a good job, but difficult to achieve equal quality.
One consolation is to use some Xposed Modules and other tools that make Stock ROM ... Less outdated, I would say.
