Hey guys, is there any way to speed up the camera on the PA 4.4 kit kat version? Its the slowest camera I have ever used. I tried flashing the LG camera which is a world of difference, but I couldnt get the DPI to change to 480 and work correctly.
Any help is much appreciated!!

Hi
Im really dissapointed of the HTC Hero camera - it seems to be very very slow and almost impossible to take photos of moving objects/people.
Anyone know if its possible to improve the camera speed?
I have tried many different Android 2.1 ROMS - but the camera seems to be slow in all of them - and also in the official 1.5 ROM.
Best regards,
Henrik
Hi all,
A couple night's ago I flashed the latest version of popdog's Oxygen ROM (2.7). This is the first version in a while that has been running stable for me with no issues with gapps. I really like the speed and battery life I'm getting with it. The only issue I have is with the quality of the camera. Previously I was using Adfad's N2 ROM and the camera quality was great on that, and judging by what others have written, N2 has the best camera quality. I left N2 mainly because I wanted to go with a more current ROM that is being updated.
I've seen a few people mention a flashable exposure fix for the camera in CM7 RC1. Unless I'm mistaken this is related to the default exposure levels and has no bearing on the overall quality of the camera shots?
Basically I'm just wanting to know if there is a a newer ROM than Adfad's N2 that has similar camera quality... Thanks
I've tried all ROMs but only N2 satisfies me as I need camera daily and N2 has amazing cam quality, in latest nightlies, you cannot get good exposure even after using the patch to fix exposures, you will need to set exposure again and again every time before clicking a photo, while in N2, default exposure is amazing, I'm trying to port the N2 camera to other ROM's
Thanks for the info umangleekha Getting the N2 camera in other ROMS would be fantastic. As much as I like the newest Oxygen ROM, I'm probably going to have to go back to N2 because of the camera. I use it regularly too.
Just out of curiosity, which kernel are you using with N2?
Dudeeee I sucessfully ported the N2 camera to RC1, check my thread in Android Development section.
Yes! Thanks for that . Just what I was looking for. Much appreciated
RE: Camera Lag
Can anyone tell me if the camera lag I've seen on the S4 (second between pressing button and shutter firing) is gone when flashing AOKP or GE roms and using stock or focal?
No lag for me running CM 10.2 latest nightly with IR support.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
What are you comparing it to? Have you run any of the ME7-based ROMs out there? The newer camera firmware takes away some of the shutter lag. Though I wouldn't say it's 100% perfect, it's much better than MDK-based ROMs.
Regarding AOSP, I've run PAC RC1 (4.2.2), and the stock camera on that is pretty quick. But I wouldn't say it's quicker than ME7 ROMs, and the TW camera demolishes AOSP feature and interface-wise.
I have yet to try focal or any 4.3 ROMs, though, so maybe the camera has improved. I did run the 4.3 Photosphere camera/gallery APK awhile back on TW, and found it to be about the same as the PAC-stock camera in terms of speed. I mostly used it for Photosphere anyway.

I would say yes. The lag on TW is frustrating (MDK and ME7 builds). Camera performance from my subjective testing seems faster and better on AOSP ROMs. Its a shame because I feel like my S4 camera performs worse than my S3 camera.
can anyone who has this phone tell me how do they find the performance of the kitkat camera vs jb camera thank you
Hi there little-biggie users
I would like to know some information from those who use the latest CM11 on Z Ultra.
Does everything work? I mean for example WiFi tethering ... because I read there have been problems.
Is it smooth enough? stock 4.4.4 is very smooth ... some people say 4.3 was better ... I know it is not important, but how much does it score in AnTuTu?
Is it worth moving from stock to CM? I had Xperia Neo before ... so I have experience with flashing etc. ... but I do not have much time now and just want to be sure.
Thank you for your answers :good:

I'm not using CM (I\m building Carbon for the community so use that) but tethering was fixed about a month or so ago. No AOSP/CM11 seems to score quite as high as Stock on antutu, but benchmarks aren't everything.
I will pick Aosp performance over CM anytime.

They keep improving thanks to ever-excellent dev work. I tried some benchmarks for the first time recently, and got almost 40,000 points on Antutu v5 with both Slim/CandyKat and LiquidSmooth (optimised CM11 kernel) with pretty stock settings. PAC-ROM scored a bit lower at ~35-36,000 with the standard CM11 kernel.
I personally find Sony ROMs the smoothest graphically, but the benefits of custom ROMs outweigh this for me.
Haven't tried stock, but using latest nightly (not that many commis have been merged since my was forked).
It's very nice. I can only compare it with cm on note 3, but this seems better. I have a small issue with the light sensor, but everything else world fine. Smooth. I'm using ART, and I've had 0 reboots or fc's compared to the other mentioned device.
I've heard that stock is nice, but for the latest and greatest you'll have to run a cm/aosp base? Hopefully we'll see the next Android iteration soon..
I just moved off stock to CM11.2 about a week ago and I'm liking it but there is something wonky with the dialer, when I make or receive a call if I hang up using the red bar it doesn't hang the call up. The red bar turns dark and the person is still on line.
Oh, got one other complaint, the camera is VERY VERY slow to come up, like 30-60 seconds sometimes. I've also seen it unable to connect.
Those are about my only complaint. It's way better than Sony and getting my Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, and Recovery back is worth it.

Only issue is the camera sometimes forced close .. other than that , battery life is awesome , smooth and fast. On top of this I flashed a OnePlusOne conversion kit and everything works. I like the screencast app. I like this new build.
Theme engines are awesome too...
for the camera see the fix in most of the custom ROM threads
bugs everywhere but not more or fewer than other roms
