Now that the new Jelly Bean OTA update is out, I was hoping someone could update the new camera app to include 0 compression on jpegs and 1080p video @ 40mbps. Basically everything that is included in this version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238). The stock compression on the ICS camera is incredibly disappointing when you actually blow up a picture to full resolution.
I know there is also a JB 4.2 camera app floating around (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966190&highlight=camera) but image and video quality is more important to me than the (admittedly cool) photosphere.

Will that last link work with our phones?
Looks pretty sweet....
Thanks K's. Hadn't seen that one. I'm trying to figure out which version of camera that's using and if it will work with the OTA update. Haven't had time to try yet.

I am not certain which version that is ported from. I installed the zip, and unfortunately, I didn't notice a difference. :/ So, I restored our stock camera (and Odex file).
I am getting my best results from the app ProCapture. I would love an awesome Sense camera, but I am having trouble finding anything concrete.
I also mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35478426&postcount=96
I might give the ProCapture app a try. Just wish it was free to try at full quality. I like the Sense camera app but I am really disappointed in picture quality. All of my pictures get a weird watercolor like affect due to compression when I look at them full size. I might also see if I can get the JB 4.2 camera working. Let me know if you come across anything that works well.

My friend has the same phone as me, the Galaxy S2. His phone and mine are both running 2.3.4 gingerbread and are on T-Mobile. He bought his a few months after I bought mine and the camera is much better than mine, they both are on the exact same settings and his pictures are much clearer. when comparing pictures of the same thing he can zoom in on pictues he has already took with unbelieveable quality while mine blurs when zoomed in. Does anyone know why this is? My picures aren't bad quality but his are immense. Thanks in advance, Harry.
Edit: We were both on the exact same settings and compared photos almost identical to eachother, taken specifically for comparing. I'm currently on Lite'ning rom v6.1 but even before i rooted his camera was better.
Are you sure you have same camera drivers? I think that might be the case. I'm not an expert, but by reading people problems with camera I guess that might be the problem that you are having.
Check the settings between the 2. Maybe you have it set to macro focus, like my cousin did.

have a look where your samsung was made china or korea and your friends one check em both... im pretty sure therewas a problem with the china makes... if so go to samsung apps store and download camera upgrade
Firstly check that the lense is clean,finger prints on the clear plastic cover cause problems.

Both pictures taken by ensuring the GS2 is on a stable platform? Camera handshake might amount to something.

We have taken a lot of photos making sure they are fair and his phone is always MUCH better when we zoom in on the pictures.
i have similar problems. my photo, taken outside, is quite blurry and smudgy. this is one of the example.
i'm using the international version.
i havent root or change my rom.
my lens are clear, they have no fingerprint on it.

I know CM9 nightlies have started rolling out for the american GS3 but i wanted to know if features like smartstay and camera burst mode have remained. These 2 features i would give up even for CM. Also besides that, anything else has changed from lets say the CM9 i had on my skyrocket?

CM9 is mostly universal across all devices..it is pure, vanilla Android, how Google designed in. So no, it will not have any Samsung added on features, including smartstay or camera burst.
well then, no CM9 for me! Unless someone releases a CWm flashable zip to add those features
I don't think that's possible as those features require touchwiz to operate.

"Smart Stay" has already been replicated by a 3rd-party app call ISeeYou, which I'll probably install once I flash CM10, since it'll probably NEVER make it into CM proper.
And as far as burst mode goes, there's many other camera apps to choose from if you want that. Personally, I rarely ever find a use for burst (though, I admit i thought it was neat that it picked out the "best" pic from 8 burst pics i took of my kid throwing water up in the air)

i always use burst...only when i need flash i dont. I like th fact that i have 8 versions of the same pic and i can make sure nobody has they eyes closed or some kind of other that would ruin my picture.
I guess ill have to stick with stock this time, anyways, with a good launcher, its not like if its that bad. Just waiting for a one click root so i can freeze some apps

Hi guys,
didn´t find another thread regarding CM9 focussing on the camera issue ... so ... I´ve installed CM9 07/16/2012 having still the camera issue after installing the files from 07/12/2012 (and setting the perms to the correct settings). Does anyone has the same problem and solved it? I´m using a AT&T SGH-I747. Help is appreciated.
Compared to my S4 I gave up it's horrible inside. All the images are fuzzy. Makes it so hard to take pics of kids. Trying to get it to focus takes so long and always comes out fuzzy. Enough so, I'll leave this device for the next best thing.

I've noticed the same thing. Now I need to decide whether to keep it or return it inside the 14 day window. Ugh. I like everything about the phone, except the camera, but being a photography hobbyist, it's fairly important.
Here's a photo from a concert Sunday night. The worst quality I've seen in years.

It's the camera app, not the phone. I installed the Super Camera and it's great. The gallery is worse, but you can still use the stock gallery and the other camera app. Hope that helps.

This is true. A software update is needed to fix some of the photo and video quality issues.
The problem is with the too agressive denoise algorithm LG is using.This is why they came out blurry.We do need a dev to off it until Lg offers a better algorithm...Also,NEVER use night mode,its useless...use inteligent auto either its day or night...in pretty much all photos except HDR.

Can people confirm though that using a third party camera app does indeed provide way better quality?
If it's in the camera firmware/drivers from LG then third party apps wouldn't really matter...
I didnt saw a better quality with any so far....especialy in low light shots that we have the bigger problem.

Is there a way I can get the stock Samsung jelly bean camera app on cyanogenmod? I find it better quality than the focal camera.
Also, no matter what cyanogenmod based ROM I use, it crashes when I try to use the camera through third party camera apps like snapchat. Sometimes it will crash and when reboots, the battery ends up at around 10%
Bump. Does anyone know if this can be done?
The stock Samsung camera app won't work on AOSP-based roms, so there's answer #1.
Regarding your other problem, I've never heard of any trouble with 3rd party camera apps, 4.2.2 and lower. If you're running 4.3 roms, then it's likely the software - although I've still not read of any problems from other users.
Personally I've stayed on 4.2.2 and use the FastBurst camera app and it works perfectly.

As far as I know, yes. You'd have to modify the framework in order for the Sammy camera to work on AOSP, but I haven't come across any guide on how to do so, or seen a mod. There was a 9100 rom back in the old days that was a hybrid (Chameleon), but it never quite ported properly, if I remember correctly.

The only one I use is Fast Burst. The tradeoff is occasionally the picture quality isn't exactly perfect, but I've taken some really great looking pictures with it and the burst feature is the best I've seen on any camera app.
I would love to see someone be able to port the Samsung camera to CM11. It's a hundred times better than that lame photosphere camera. I'm honestly contimplating switching back to Bonsai to get my sammy apps back. S-Pen included

Holly cow this thing is fast! THX for the tip.
The only beef I have with it, is that I couldn't get it to save my pics to the SD card.
I guess because the internal memory is faster. The stock Samsung camera does the same with burst shots.
Although if someone would have a workaround to get the pics on the SD card, that would be appreciated

excuse me, but what you mean bonsai? what is it? and how does it work? is it for CM?
Is there a way to fix the flipped camera (for some apps) on the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1) while still being able to use the stock rom?

I remembered that in the old CM7 days, using the US camera libs caused the camera to go flipped. However when using the Intl camera libs, the camera was in the right orientation. Perhaps you could try that to see if it'll work?
Btw sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven't seen that post.
Where would I obtain these libraries, and how would I install them?

Sorry that no one really addressed your question. The galaxy player dev community is kinda fading away since, well, the device is getting older and less practical, so there are less users. Anyways, see here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848595
Also, if you're still on gingerbread, you may just want to flash the REDD rom. Check it out. That personally gave me the best gingerbread experience. Of course, cm9 and later in my opinion are all better.
Oh my god... this worked.... THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! THANK YOU!!
