The one thing that puts me off using cm10 or any aosp is the terrible camera quality, are there any apps out there that remedy this issue? I've found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap&feature=search_result but i'd like to know if anyone has their opinion on this app or others.
If the issue could be remedied by apps, the issue wouldn't exist in the first place

not really terrible! it's just not so good as stock camera. as already mentioned, if an app can increase the quality, why does a problem exist?
I don't know about increasing quality, but sometimes (i.e. high contrast photos) is can be useful to have a HDR function. I use HDR camera (the free version has some limitations). Of course it is not same HDR effect of reflex, but not so bad for a phone camera

Hello,
Could you explain me, how can I get best possible quality of photos ? I mean, I can read here and there, that X10 has got really, really good camera with 8MP and so on.
Thruth is, though, that I can't get any photos with reasonable quality. I mean picture is blurred and in locations inside house, photos are rather dark.
I really like this phone but I also have HD2 with Android and looking at picture quality of photos made on these two phones I'm positive that HD2 makes far better ones (in spite of its worse specs).
Buy vignette software -with the appropriate settings and a bit of picture taking practice by you(you need to learn how to use it properly).
You can produce high quality pictures with vignette, much better than stock camera app that comes with phone.

Or best of all, use this camera mod thanks do 28spawn
Thans for advices. I'm using camera mod v10 but it's still not quite what it should be. Maybe I just must get used to

Try fxcamera or 360camera from market. Both are better than stock.

vignette is the best by far
Use spawns but use touch to capture mode it made my pics much clearer since it was really easy to hold the camera still

I think that in the X10's case, the phone's camera hardware is better in quality than the stock camera software.
I too had lots of high hopes for the built-in Sony Ericsson camera app. Unfortunately, although many of the pictures I took seemed to look okay on the phone screen, they were actually terrible when a computer or HDTV screen revealed the blurriness of them all. The speed in which the app captures an image is just too slow, particularly if I tried using the actual camera button on the phone. Even with image stabilization enabled, I would rarely get a decent picture. Using the touch capture feature helps a little, but not much. Taking pictures indoors generally yields the worst results. I've taken some good shots outdoors as long as the lighting is bright.
My favorite camera app is Vignette. With so many options to choose from and so many high-quality effects, it is the best one out of the few I've tried off the Android Market. The only thing I don't like about Vignette is that by going full resolution plus using its 'superfine' quality mode, it can take a while to process after you've taken a shot and start to save.
We're not alone in the hard-to-use stock camera app department, though. My girlfriend has an HTC EVO 4G (known also as the HTC Supesonic), and the indoor pictures she takes with her stock app often has similar blurriness issues as the X10.
I still use my Sony DSC-W290 or DSC-TX7 point-and-shoot cameras if I want better quality, but the X10 and Vignette will do in a pinch.
Thank you very much for all the answers. I'll try vignette, fx, 360 and spawns. Hope it will change my current opinion, which is similar to xdadevelopers1222's point of view
Hey guys I was testing our 1080 p and noticed that our camera was horrible when looking at things with lights like a TV screen or something you really couldn't see anything on there it just looked very bright. It happens when your filming people and there's a light in the background also it just shows up as a huge glare and its horrible. It's on all roms and I think its just the camera in general. My friend also has this phone and I tested it and it resulted in the same thing. Light sources are being shown to much I guess and trust me it's horrible to try and show off your phone and claiming to have one of the best phones in the world and your camera 1080p is filming horribly. It's retarded as hell and up until this discovery I've had no complaints about this phone. So my question is what can we do to fix this. I've tried lowering the EV Control to negative 2 and it still gave the glare. Do we have to wait for an update to fix this problem or what.

are you on stock or custom rom? i am on unnamed v2.2.1 and having 'continous autofocus' issue during 1080p shooting that makes the video blurry and sticky.i have posted this in unnamed dev forum.
meanwhile, as a workaround i use 720p mode that somehow makes video kinda okay.

This problem can not be fixed.
The detector has a limited dynamic range- smaller pixels have lower dynamic range. The lens needs to be small, otherwise the device isn't pocket friendly. Lens size must be matched to pixel size, so even if a manufacturer wanted to include a high dynamic range imager in a cellphone, size-constraints make it unlikely.
It isn't realistic to expect a phone camera to compare in quality to a dedicated (and larger device) camera.

That's not relevant at all. There are multiple phones that have great cameras such as the Xperia arc. And I expect a device that outperforms others. That's why I bought this phone. And even my old Xperia x10 camera was able to cover white balance a lot better in certain areas. Our camera should be better. It takes great still shots but horrible video in lighted areas I guess. It doesn't make sense.

If someone could modify the Camera to accept tap to focus and exposure in video mode it would be perfect. That's what the issue is. However, I notice that during recording it is a LOT better than what it is when you just set video mode and look at it.

I just don't get how we have one of the greatest cameras and it does this bad with white balance. And yes I noticed the recording thing too

Does the camera mod listed in the developers section work on scotts cleanrom standard
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Yes, I am currently using the High Quality camera mod and CR4.5 standard. My pics are now 3-5MB in size.
But the camera is an 8 megapixel camera and there are settings for you to set up at other resolutions in the stock app. Can to setup for 8 megapixel in this mod or am I misunderstanding your reply. I am wondering about the overall picture quality noise, etc. In addition to the size factors of course

It doesn't change anything with the actual user-control of the app, it's all background changes. Kinda like changing the build.prop file. It essentially just keeps photos from being compressed, and improves the video recording. I know it does much more than just that, but that's just the gist of it, the camera app itself doesn't change. And the pictures come out a little bit nicer, you won't notice it really until you zoom, and there is better detail.

definitely check it out
I flashed it a couple of weeks ago and my pics are definitely better.
Best mod I've flashed
It definitely helps, but a couple things a lot of people don't know is to uncheck both the auto-enhance and the widescreen boxes.
Both can/will degrade image quality. The auto-enhance can always be added to an image after the fact in the gallery, if the box is not checked (sometimes it helps, other times it makes the pic worse), but it can't be undone if it's checked when the pic is taken.
I experience a lot of noise when using the front camera on my Z2. If I use the stock camera up the noise seems to get cleared after the picture is taken, however if I use other apps like Snapchat the noise doesn't get removed and it looks like I have taken a picture with a 5 year old phone.
Does anyone else have this issue and is there a way to fix it?
Try cleaning the front camera with cloth?

Z2 camera post-processes picture after you have taken it. They smudge your picture to make it look smooth, as well as brighter if youre on low light.You dont get that "magic" when using 3rd party cameras. Correct me if im wrong.
Guys please share your views on camera quality.i have flashed it 2 times but both the time i had to revert back to stock due to interior pics.
Share your views..as many people have comolained abt oics quality

He saved the camera of this device with his HAL mod, and the camera in his rom is by far the best out there.
I like the pictures I took from sultan's camera, but I've never seen a one-on-one comparison. Has anyone actually made comparisons?
The big quality jump is for the video part and the display on low light.
For the photo, it is not really far better, except on low light because the prioity is on maintaining the Iso at a low level.
Sometimes, the shutter speed can be quite "high" and you can have shake problems.
So when you're telling about inferior pics, just explain it because it can be that you don't use it well.
Basically, what Sultan's mod does is that it increases the shutter speed to get less blurry photos in low light.
What this in turn does, is make the photos look noticeably noisier (increased ISO) and less bright. There is a noticeable difference only in slightly dim / low light conditions.
If you have steady hands or don't mind getting blurry photos, use stock.
If you want no motion blur and other cool stuff like 4K video, [email protected], etc, use the mod.
If you want both, use my app
noisy pics with no proper focus is what i am talking about
2 questions
1)is there any rom having same CAMERA quality as oxygen
2)also whether all Cm based rom have same noisy pics?
