Hi all,
I was trying to change my broken LCD/Digitizer and in some stage I noticed that my HD2 is showing missing colors.
It's a genuine (no customization made "yet" on the mchine, neither on radio nor ROM) Europe HD2.
Here's the WinMo 6.5 pic that I took :

The weirdest part is the colors that I see in 3 color boot mode :

Do you think that it is a software problem or hardware ?
So... Nokia Lumia 800 provides some of the most fantastic wallpapers for use, especially for lock screen wallpaper. However, I do not know how to download those lock screen wallpapers to my PC, since I could not even access the USB storage of the phone, except some basic functions via Zune.
Anyone has any suggestions on how to retrieve those default lockscreen images and also, convert them to a normal read-able format such as jpeg etc???
Thanks!!

Don't ignore this post!! Try it! It works wonders!
Hi guys, I am certain everyone is unhappy with the camera quality of Lenovo A6000 plus, otherwise a great phone. Having used LUMIA 920 for 2 years and LUMIA 520 for 6 months, I was very much disappointed with the camera quality of this phone. I was expecting it to be at least on par with the 'just 5MP' camera of 520 but was proven horribly wrong. The case worsens even more if you are running a custom ROM. So loads of searching and trying all available camera apps on the play store I finally got a solution. I want to share it.
First you will have to download this app 'Cinema FV-5'.
The link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.lite&hl=de
This is the lite version. Try it, if you like buy it! (This is not my app by the way, just sharing).
1. Open the app, go to settings. In 'General camcorder settings', uncheck 'focus before capturing', and check 'allow capturing videos without focus', this is necessary for continuous focus during recording.
2. In 'Video' tab, check custom video settings, change the video resolution to 1280x720 16:9, change the FPS to 24 and leave everything else as it is, don't change.
3. On the same page 'Video', touch 'set image parameters', you will now be on viewfinder screen. There decrease sharpness to 0 and hit done.
4. Touch the [AF] icon and change the focus mode to continuous like in the image. And you are done!
You won't believe how much difference it makes even compared to stock Lenovo camera. While the stock Lenovo camera makes jarring and VGA quality videos, this app with these of my settings records much much better videos!
For photos -
For photos, you can use the sibling app 'Camera FV-5', go to settings > photo encoding settings > set image parameters and decrease sharpness to 0.

updated OP. Thanks you liked the trick! Sad that many people only view this thread. I hope they try it. I really want to take out the only shortcoming this phone has!!
I test today this program. The colors are more quality but I did not like focus. Some inscriptions I can't read with this program ,but when I use original is more better.

Did you follow every step mentioned by me? It should give you better results than stock camera any day!! At least on a custom ROM! But I believe it will work just as good on stock rom too cause the video recording in stock rom with stock Camera app pretty much sucks!! By no means it looks 720p 'HD', it feels like VGA at 15fps recording. For better focus you need to pay attention to the first and last instruction in the OP. Have a good luck!
Please, can someone share NEW NOKIA CAMERA APK REVEALS REFERENCES TO SUPER ZOOM, NIGHT MODE, KIDS SOUND EFFECTS AND MORE? I would be very grateful!
I assert that this is made available under fair use. The original app is available from the Play Store.

Play store version is not compatible with my Nokia 8.
I gave it a try. It's better than stock camera app, visibly less noise, but any GCam mod beats it. Still, thanks for doing something new for us.

The Play Store version of Essential Camera only works on Essential Phone. The download link for my modified version is at the bottom of the first post.

Thanks for trying it. I started this project because Essential Camera comes with more options for using the monochrome sensor than Nokia's stock camera app.
I hope to add raw capture soon, but for the moment I'm working on support for the front camera.
Hi,
Does the last Google Camera port from dev "back.rider" is the best for Nokia 8 Scirocco ?
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/
Or is there a better mod from an other dev ?
Or is it better to use the original Camera app installed by Nokia in factory ?
I want to make the best choice for summer.
Regards.

Sirocco's back camera setup is very similar to the Nokia 7 Plus, so back.rider's port seems a good choice.
back.rider just released test1.3 which is not yet added to the Google Camera Port site.
