Hey, can any one post a video or Screenshot about the change in Camera app on Neo V?
I have a Neo and I am waiting for ICS. I wanna know if there any improvement on Neo camera or not.
Please kindly someone post some screenshot
Improvement?...Hmmm.
IMO, the ICS camera app is by far inferior to the GB one... Its choppy and less detailed...not to mention it takes forever for the preview image to cache.
So ice camera is better on neo?

Also jpeg compression is reduced,file size is 45-60% bigger than GB shots but more details captured means more quality
Video recording not as good as it was on GB
Screenshots attached
Screenshots from camcorder app
sony have done very good job about white balance! plus I think it takes images way faster than running on GB
So photo quality improved but video quality didn't improve at all?
Is there any tweak for fixing those problem?
Btw, Sony didn't add any Ics feature like timelap, live video effect, photo editor etc?
Has Camera Photo quality improved on the nEo V ICS updated?

Yes..actually
From 500kb size.. It was increased to 1mb-2mb.
Faster when taking picture without flash..
I suspect if we can later USE the camera app, lib and extended cap. from Xperia P(U) to our Neo(Neo V) which have ISO control =]
How can we know that Neo ics camera app is better or worse, if Neo ics final is not released yet?
Aren't we using a modded Neo V ics?
(with "any" Neo camera libraries)

I'm here to present a revised Camera UI for stock ROM. I have modded it to become more similar to Xperia 2013 and AOSP. It also contains some elements from Sony α (Text :laugh
What's new?
See the screenshots! :laugh:
Screenshots :
v5 goodies :
v5 Changelog :
New Ev pointer.
New focus indicator.
GPS icon added holo colour.
Swapped Sports with Night Portrait. (Sports mode does not function properly in low light condition)
Requirements :
A working brain.
Xperia 2011 device with stock based ROM.
Disclaimer :
I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone. However, I have Ray with me to test the mod before releasing it here.
How to install?
Backup your old camera apk file --- [in system/app]
Copy this modded camera apk to system/app and set permission rwx, r--, r-- using any root supported file explorer.
Delete the old camera apk --- [in system/app]
Restart your phone.
Launch Sony α from app drawer.
Enjoy!
You may pair it with CyberShot mod : Install CyberShot mod first before installing this.

Getting bad pictures?
Choose Low ISO instead of High ISO.
Photon (light particle) absorption for camera sensor is based on : Aperture, ISO, and Shutter speed. Since our phones are having fixed aperture (f/2.4 for 8MP device, f/2.6 for 5MP device), I'm not going to discuss about aperture. So, it is purely about the balancing of ISO and Shutter speed here. High ISO = High light sensitivity = More photons will be detected. But high ISO will introduce noise. The camera sensor in our phone is small, therefore even in low ISO, noise is present. After the denoise process, it will leave artifacts, making the image less appealing. At high ISO, shutter speed is high. At low ISO, shutter speed is low (needs more time to absorb same amount of photons). Low shutter speed can be a problem as the image might blur due to handshake. Keep your phone steady when using low ISO mode!
Ray vs EOS 1100D, the difference is big, even in low ISO. Don't expect such small sensor to do magic.
Turn off Super SteadyShot (Image Stabilizer)
When Super SteadyShot is turned on, the shutter will be forced at a higher speed to prevent motion blur and handshake. As a result, high ISO will be used to absorb the same amount of photons, which introduces noise.
Lowlight (Forced to use high ISO, as shutter speed is maxed out)
No choice, but to convert the image into black and white. The noise will give a grainy effect, which is nice in black and white picture. :good:
Gallery
Camera on our devices is pretty decent to do casual snapshots! Don't blame on gear, it is the skill that matters. Happy photographing! :laugh:
List of works done so far :
60fps video recording for 720p and 480p? (Remember to mod FPS to 60 in media_profile.xml as well to unlock FPS limit) [Looks smoother than before ]
Edited face detection up 10 faces (5 was the default) ? [No idea if it works ]
Added 3.2MP 16:9 resolution, but it didn't work.
v5 with stock camera icon.

Everything works on Active but it looks rather stupid...
Some icons are mixed up, some icons are wrong size...
It's not easy to use cuz of that.
Here are some screen's.
Active doesn't have 6MP and so...
If you need Active frameworks or something, you can always use ROM's provided by dev's

Which apk you used? MDPI or MDPI_test1?
Anyway, thanks for trying out. The problem is I don't have a MDPI device here .
Wondering is there any universal MDPI framework, as others mods support all MDPI devices in a single APK.

I can test it out when you wan't, just PM me the apk's to test.

- Infinity: a fixed focus maximum distance for landscape mainly.
- Fixed: Focus adjustment midpoint, closer than landscape. Less good sharpness than auto, face,... but no time focus for quick shoot or solution if auto focus can't lock subject.

i'm pretty sure hardware support for continuous focus in video mode is not there. so i will probably remove that.

720p was deleted because ram and poor quality.
Since the performance is significantly improved (rom and even more kernel).
I think we should test again...
I think too that 720p feature is implemented in kernel and not in rom (It's why I spoke about nAa kernel).
I'm wrong?
Waiting eagerly for this great can without panorama.. Also dev, pls just remove all unusable things from this great app..
You can just note what working/not..
That's what I call decreasing unsolved bugs..

i actually like the idea that we get a better experience than having a feature which doesn't work properly.
the overall user experience is bad, the picture quality is not great plus we get bad frame rates
also 22mb is a lot of ram to waste on a feature which one can live without.
anyway thats my opinion.

Gandhar please go ahead and remove panorama. The less non working components the simpler and easier it will be to maintain. For people that need panorama can use use this one. Works perfectly just tried it out on M66B's CM10 build from yesterday. I'm confident will work on CM10.1 as well...

the camcorder problem is not a app problem, it exists on cm10.1 too, just needs this commit to be merged.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/32906/
perhaps someone could put it on the PAC gerrit or manually merge it.
also iirc the inverted camera was due to the missing liboemcamera.so , this was back in gingerbread times when a rom had the problem..
not sure about this case though, but you can try it. get it form stock rom, push it to /system/lib and give 755 permission.

NO i got it fixed.
It went into the different addons and found, that with project "fluid" there are some files placed in the lib-folder which have to do with audio.
So i tried to install without the fluid package and now it works.
Then i removed the files that have to do something with audio from the fluid add on folder, and now i have, walkman, poweramp, and fluid patches working.!

Now, the last thing missing on your rom, is just a camera which has pictures with same quality than the original... Then it would be perfect
I don't want features and tools, i just need quality - i know what my camera was abled to do.
At the moment i'm using the stock android camera.
Other problem with this is, it shows always a 16:9 picture, even if i select 8mpx. The outcome is 4:3, but in the preview the picture is cut, and not as sharp, as the real output is then. So you never know if it is well focused or not, because in preview it s always not realy sharp.

Yes exactly, focal is just a FC on xperia neo. The real output pictures on xperia neo aren't sooo bad with stock camera... i just compared some pic's. Not so bad... minimal difference
Biggest Problem on stock camera: Preview 16:9, not sharp preview, and lot slower then cybershot camera.
Do you think that the 16:9 problem is just any xml or other config problem? If so, please tell me just what i need to change (or replace gallery.apk?), so that i don't need to reflash the whole rom (i've done some changes... )
Other small bug i found is (but i think its cm10 problem): GPS Problems - with Navigon it gets connection for 5 seconds, then looses, reconnect, lost and so on. Only if i start gps status tool before opening navigon, it's working. And the google maps arrow is spinnig around all the time - no idea what this problem causes.
