I've been using my Rezound to take lots of pictures and I like the HTC camera app. So I'm wondering what would be comparable to it to use with an AOSP variant.
One feature I would like to have that HTC doesn't is some type of manual focus. Maybe something that will focus in small steps + or - would be nice.
Thanks!

Vignette is a good camera app. It's also on sale on the market right now for $.99. Go check it out!
I also use vignette. Still not as good as HTC's camera app, but looks better than the default CM9 one.
Thanks for the replies but I tried vignette when it went on sale and was very disappointed. For normal shooting I guess it's ok but I do a lot of macro shots and it's nearly impossible to focus up close.

Try "Camera ZOOM FX". I got it long ago and they've updated allot. I've had good results with it and like the interface. Was my go-to back on the dinc before the newer sense cameras came out.
I agree w/ you that the sense camera app is solid and my favorite. (particularly sense 3.6/4)

Is there a way to install the sense camera app on AOSP/CM9? I would assume not, since it probably needs a bunch of HTC/sense libraries, but I suppose there's a chance everything non-AOSP that the camera app needs is bundled inside the APK.

Did you try a long press instead of just a tap? Also make sure you choose Macro in Frame-average -> Focus distance. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hr2tth7xbbxmm7q/2012-09-04 14.12.27.JPG (that's a AAA battery so it's pretty small)

I did do the long press but I didn't see a macro setting, I may have to check that out. Also when I was doing the long press does it always take the picture immediately when you let go? That was kinda aggravating since It seems to take vignette a long time to process the picture and you're not sure if you even got it to focus correctly until after it's done. I may give vignette another shot since I did pay for it(even though it was $.99) but I'm doubting it will be up to my standards.

ya, camera zoom FX may help in some of those things... but like others have said, I'm using sense so I have no reason to need anything else.
Edit:
was thinking about this and I remember that Camera zoom FX also had a super fast response. I'm currently on sense 4, which is blazing fast on shutter speed etc, but before that cz FX was easily in the running for speed... just giving more info.
Rock on.
Camera FV-5 is pretty fun to use. You can do long-exposures with it as well. They come out all funky most of the time, but they always look very cool. I can also vouch for Camera Zoom FX.
Sense camera is the thing that's keeping me from aosp right now. I like it too much!

If you're a fan of macro shots, then might I suggest a $6 addition to the phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wide-Angle-...395?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4844d51083
Yes, you do need to affix the metal ring on the outside of the phone. But, it produces pretty amazing results:

The blur is probably because a phone's shape doesn't lend itself to taking a shot AND holding the phone still. Also, the sensor is teensy tiny, and it doesn't have a very fast "shutter speed". So, it's like taking pics with an SLR in dim light with a 1/30 second shutter: it's going to have motion blur w/o a stand. If you want crystal clear shots, use a vise/stand of some kind.
Maybe Canon's or Nikon's next pro-sumer DSLR will make/receive calls, texts, and play Angry Birds.
I use CameraZoomFX which lets me prop the phone and 'tell' the camera to take the picture hands-free. Those shots are always very clear. Handheld shots, not so much.

Oh will be nice to have a call with a 70-200 2.8 in hand
Okay, I'm lost....
Can anyone who still had pics prior to the leaks and NOW have one of the leaks post comparison pics? I mean seriously, as crisp as the photos are on GB, I can't see how there's such a need for enhancement to the razr's photo quality that it warrants a full thread. lol I'm still on a totally stock GB rom (anxiously biting my nails waiting for the update) and I'm ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHED at how crisp and detailed the camera's photos are.
Lol. Calls will be short with that lens on there. It would be funny though, seeing how huge people's arms get from holding a 4 kilo phone all day. They'd look like hermit crabs.
yeah its with ics leaks .204 let me look at my fb pictures maybe i got one with GB
i found one with GB
BTW - I've tried all of the "pro" camera apps available, and Camera FV-5 is easily the best one.
As to pictures on ICS vs GB, at least on .79, there isn't a huge change. It's all in the app you use.
The stock camera app on ICS seems to focus better prior to capture.
A good camera app should be able to take the same quality pic on GB as it would on ICS unless there was a flaw in the camera drivers under GB, which I don't think there was.
The Razr seems to have a decent sensor, but cheap / small optics. Don't get me wrong, it does take pretty good shots, but not like you'd see on a newer device with bigger, higher quality lenses. The sensor is only half of the battle, but people give the megapixel count all of their attention.
Some of the newer cams (like the OneX) have better optics and you can tell the difference right away. Plus a bigger lens helps keep noise down in dark shots.
I want to have a thread specifically for discussing the camera but not necessarily for just posting pictures. I have found the camera to take really good pictures of motion.
Here's link to a review of the camera that sets the one against the S4 and iPhone 5.

It's funny how people stress over the smallest differences, and it's amazing how good camera phones have become over the last few years.
I chose the One because I feel it's the most flexible overall due to low-light performance and the ability to better capture motion, but man, all of these cameras are so good, it's crazy to think what we were using just 2 or 3 years ago.
Hmm, i actually found it to be opposite for me - my htc one seems to do very poorly with motion and focuses very slowly. Surprisingly because every literature mentions its good low light performance and fast focus. If you guys can answer a few questions for me, it would allow me to determine if my hardware is defective and i need to exchange for another copy:
1. if you try to focus on a moving object (say a child or a pet), can you consistently get non blurry picture? i find it very hard/slow for the htc one's camera to get focus, so it makes a clear pic of a moving object very hard
2. can you take a picture and have the entire picture be in focus? for me, the lens will only focus on one part of a screen, while other parts will consistently be blurry. by default that's in the center of the picture. it almost seems like you can't do an infinity focus, something needed/preferred for landscape and group pictures. I like the brokah look, just not ALL the time..
Thanks in advance!
1st- I had my kids spinning on a tired swing, not super fast but they were swinging in a circle and spinning and I was able to get consistent focused pictures.
2nd- Yes my camera focus is fine. the HDR mode does tend to wash out in bright light and makes it look a little out of focus.
Note
I also took a series of photos as fast as my finger could click while my daughter was on the tire swing and they all came out in focus, maybe one or two out of focus but I would have to go through them and check more closely.
Hmmm, i'm both happy and sad to hear that your camera seems to work much better. Okay back to AT&T store then!
Thanks!

Digital zoom is bad. I suggest NEVER using it. Crop the picture later if need be.
I guess this would be a decent thread to ask, since we're talking about the camera.
Is the camera software OTA update already included with the AT&T One's latest software, or are we already behind in terms of updates? Also, if our phone doesn't yet have the updated camera software, could we just flash an international stock ROM and get it? International ROMs work with our One this time around, as far as I know.
I believe the update software version is 1.29...mine says 1.26...

You're right. The 1.29 firmware is included in some recent custom roms, though. I have a couple of roms based around that update.
Did you have any noticeable difference?

The latest OTA from AT&T has the same radio as the 1.29 update. Still 1.26 firmware though.
When I take macro shots of documents, the letters are blurry and bad in quality. Taking macro shots of food and flowers comes out okay, but it's just awful when taking photos of black and white paper.
On the pic I attached, the lower right appears to be blurry and light ink. They are actually very dark black letters printed out from a laser printer, so I don't know what's going on.
I have 1.29.401.13 base.
Here's another photo where sides and corners are unusable. This is just horrible... Can't even read the letters any more.

No matter how hard I try, the pictures I take, almost always look washed out. In most of the reviews the camera was praised for colour accuracy and reproduction. I'm not talking about perfectly lit scenarios but more or less like the ones I've posted above. Do you guys leave yours at Auto , Intelligent Auto etc. Whatever tips and tricks you can share I'm sure will greatly benefit the community.
[I know there is a thread regarding the slow shutter and focus but that's not the point over here.]
Cheers !
Mine look as good if not better. I use AI most, normal and manual otherwise. Focus isn't slow for me, shutter speed regarding moving items in less than full blast light are and get blurry easy. Software fixes needed. My still shots are incredibly brilliant and accurate for a smartphone camera.

I just took two pictures, one using normal and one using IA. the IA is FAR better for focus, speed of shot, etc. But there is some serious work that needs to be done on the software for this camera.

I personally feel on the stock camera app , the auto ISO is a little bit too sensitive, causing unnecessary noise. I usually set the ISO to 800 (the max it allows in manual control) and the shot turns out significantly better.
Using IA pictures are somewhat better ! . BTW can someone modify the camera to save the settings ? because it always starts on Normal mode !
I used Intelligent Auto for the pics of my Spigen Case, seems to have worked well.
These pics are actually lower quality than the ones on my computer because there was probably some compression done during uploading/
Does anyone know of a way to make the IA setting stick? Every time I leave the camera app I have to mess with settings to get it back. I've tried just hitting the home button and leaving the app open but it reverts. Annoying! !

Interesting... So did you try taking the same picture with both and compare or did you just seem to like the Pixel ones better?
Why did you set it to Nexus and not Pixel for that first setting? Just curious! Not sure the difference, haha.
Well, dynamic range is far superior shooting with the Pixel Camera compared with the stock camera; there's less noise too. I shot with both cameras, always getting a better result with the google camera. I set the conf camera to Nexus as was getting less dynamic range and dull photos with the Pixel one. I mean, I like lively colors . I think it is a matter of preference when it comes to color accuracy.

The one that starts IMG is from the pixel camera app, should be the second one. Notice the better exposure on the sign, cleaner lines on the fence and more detail in the leaves in the lower center. Coming from the pixel, which I unfortunately did not have with me, I feel like the pixel camera app is a definite improvement over the stock auto camera app.

Edit: For Some reason some of the pictures take with the samsung camera are rotated. It goes like this first picture is always with the google camera and second one with samsungs.
This is really interesting. Thanks for the discussion, folks! I'm leaning towards the Pixel camera for a while. I love the interface of the Samsung one but the Pixel quality of photos is amazing....
Updated my post with the pictures see my previous post. Please rotate sone of the samsung camera ones as I have no idea why they are rotated.

How are you uploading full rez photos? Tomorrow I plan to take my pixel to work with me and the Note, to grab some one to one to one comparison shots on lunch.

This would be a fantastic test. Please let me know what your findings are!
I mean, if the Pixel got a 90 from DXO Mark or whatever that site is, does that mean the Note 8 should be a 90+? I think the actual sensor on the Pixel isn't that impressive - it was the software that made it so amazing. So if this software is truly 100% ported, I'd think our Note 8 camera could be even better!
(plus maybe the new Pixel 2 camera will be ported too...)
If you are having more success with the Pixel camera vs the stock can you please post the settings you are using? I've tried a few different variations and the Pixel camera is much noiser in lower light photos and it ups the ISO twice as much as the stock camera to achieve the same exposure.

Greetings,
I will upload screenshots of my settings once I get home today. Thanks.
can you both apps on the same phone at once ? or does having pixel installed disable stock camera ?
my only issue with stock camera it tends to over exposures alot of scenes like portraits and I end up having to auto correct. night time shots are on point.
Anyone else not satisfied with the camera?
I already took a great shot but most of them just feel soft and not sharp at all!
A lot of noise as well when zooming in.
I'm quite shocked as my OnePlus 3 takes better pictures (GCam).
The selfie cam is the worst. On OP3 I can basically see all of my skins pores, beard hair etc.
On the mate it's just soft(no matter the setting).
I'm on firmware 122 btw.
Would be good to know if that's just my taste or a wrong setting maybe?
Thanks!
In general:
Very satisified with the back camera.
But the selfiecam is kind of 'boring'.
You should provide pics to make your case as the question is so broad and the answers are so many.
Took a few pics today and really impressed with the back camera. The front camera isn't great and beautifies every image and looks soft. Hopefully a software update could fix this. Came from a pixel 2 which I think are the ones to beat at moment for camera phones.
Back camera is really great. In selfie camera there is an option to switch off beauty mode. Try with that option and you will get better selfies than Samsung Galaxy flagships.
I just posted to a similar thread over in news aand discussion.....
I too am disappointed with the M20 pro camera, mostly indoors in not so good (but hardly terrible) light the images are really quite soft
Looking at the exif it always seems to choose a really low shutter speed and as others have said no OIS on the main camera. Like I said disappointing, I am on .238, no idea if there are any camera improvements to come on .266 or 9.1?
Light can change your thoughts
Yes the mate 20p camera tends to take soft and sometimes blurry photos. I blame the lack of OIS.
With a little extra effort you can take awesome photos, but for point and shoot many other phones do that better.
I just moved from op3 to mate 20 pro, principally for the camera and... I'm disappointed, my ops3 photo's with gcam are a lot better! All photos in middle light (and hdr condition) look like they are painted!
I tried to make some side by died) side comparison and one plus 3 photos are better in everything

Me is not possibile, I was keeping one phone in a hand and the other one in the other, setting i don't know maybe.. M but I just opened the camera and chosen hdr..., have you some setting to suggest?
Some photos are good but others no..., color are a little bit more ok and grass looks painted
Now in no more at home, this weekend I'm coming to post some comparisons if needed

Are you using vivid mode? Try turning that to standard
I'm very satisfied with the camera, I think this is all about setting, not the camera or the phone.

I tried that setting but it doesn't look to influence the "painted effect"
This weekend on going to make a more detailed test and on case I'm going to post some photos

Turn off AI maybe. Honestly if you're trying to tell us one of the best rated phone cameras of all time gets bested by one of the most mediocre, you'd better have some valid evidence lol
My only gripe is the AI sometimes gets confused like when it thought this shot was winter and it changed the images completely

That is a totally feasible complaint as I have had this happen as well. Sometimes AI is better off for certain shots for sure
That's why it is handy on the latest 9.1 update to turn on and off without going into settings. You can also of course click the X when it detects what it think it is. I have had no issues with the camera in default mode and actually find it performs better after the last update, especially the transition when going to 3x zoom.
what bugs me is the "hold steady while camera sharpens the image".
Is there a way to avoid this?

Nope, The phone is taking a auto hdr(thats even more extreme than the HDR mode btw) photo,generally it doesnt matter if you move or take another photo while the camera tells you that, i just ignore it.
