When I want to take a 4:3 photo in AOSP Jelly Bean camera, I can't see entire photo on the preview because the app crops it to fit to the 16:9 screen. Is it possible to have a smaller preview of whole the photo?

I'm using AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1 with hotfix 3 and
Camera FIX Neo on my Neo, and I'm very satisfied.
But I can't work out how to take widescreen photos
with the camera. In camera settings you can only set
the picture size (8MP, 5MP), there is no aspect or wide
option.
But when recording videos the aspect is 16:9
Is there a way to set the camera in this rom to take
widescreen photos?
If not, is there a way to use a different camera apk?
Thank you for your help,
neo noob
Sorry bro if you want wide screen photos try a different camera app from market. as i dont think that ics camera takes widescreen photos :/
Seems that the sony ericsson default camera app just crops the image when in widescreen mode. thanks for your help!
Hello Forum!
Just upgraded my SGS2 to Jelly Bean. Trying to get used to do everything in new ways, but I am very annoyed by the "updated" stock Picture Frame widget.
In the previous version it did present the pictures in original aspect and crystal clear. Now the pictures are forced to respect the aspect of the tiles (4 x 4) and all pictures are presented very grainy. I have of course tried to open the same photos in Gallery and they are perfectly sharp.
Any help or comments?
I prefer to use stock apps - as long as they work!

Nobody up for a test?
Nobody out there who could give the picture frame widget a try and see if they also get very bad quality photos?
I've just updated to JB 4.1.2 from ICS 4.0.4 And the stock picture frame viewer its working well, exactly the same as before the upgrade. the pictures are clear, not grainy and a 4x4 crop of the original photo its displayed I.e. the original photo is not compressed to fit the frame of the widget.
Not much help for your problem but it does point towards a problem with your set up rather than with the widget in general.

Hi Mickey!
Thanks! Looks like I'll have to do a factory reset then...
Thanks again!

I am using [android 4.2.2 gallery/camera app] with Super Jelly Bean 5.5.
With pure Super Jelly Bean 5.5, camera app stops working very frequently, so I decided my ray to have Android 4.2.2 gallery/camera app.
After this operation, it won't stop working, but every camera preview shows stretched to 16:9 instead of 4:3 with all resolutions.
How can I fix it? Please answer this question. Thank you.
Hi, the size of picture taken does not match what I see in the camera app, and by size I don't mean image size on disk or resolution.
Basically, what I see "through the lens", as in, what I see on screen when I open the camera app, is slightly smaller than what I get when I take a picture and view it in Gallery. It seems the camera is capturing a little more than what's shown to me on the phone screen. It's pretty annoying when you line up a nice shot only to have the picture taken framed slightly larger than what you saw on screen.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm using CM10.2.0 stable for i9300, clean install (wipe system, data, cache, preload), with stock CM10.2 camera and gallery.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What you see on screen in AOSP camera is 16:9 and camera sensor is 4:3, so you have an answer
You can shoot in 6MP 16:9 if you want exactly the same.

Thank you so much.
Do you mean that the camera only shoots 4:3 in 8MP? Is this because 8MP is its native resolution so it matches the camera as 4:3?
Is there any way I could take advantage of the 8MP camera but have it shoot in 16:9?

Exactly. Camera is able to shoot in 4:3 in 8MP mode. Basically it's an industry standard. Almost all cameras (from iPhone to even entry level DSLRs) shoot in 4:3. Other popular standards are 3:2 and 5:4. 16:9 is used mostly by cinematography.

No. Either you have to choose 8MP 4:3 or 6MP 16:9.
6MP 16:9 would be nothing more than cropped 8MP picture to maintain 16:9 ratio.
Hey guys,
The question is pretty much on the title. Stock camera app on 20mpx camera setting, it does not appear in fullscreen, but on 3rd party apps it does work in fullscreen. If I wanna take a fullscreen photo, I gotta downgrade the megapixel's to 15mpx for it to be 16:9.
Why is it like this?
Thank you for any answer!
Hi,
Yes, 20mpx is 4:3 while 15mpx is 16:9, (more) like the screen.
3rd-party apps just use 16:9 resolution PREVIEW and take 4:3 resolution IMAGE while stock app shows what is actually in your viewfinder
