I am currently on CM12.1 (Daniels modded version) and like other AOSP(/CM) ROMs they all do work quite well, a big thanks to all devs for their efforts
But they also have a downside and that's the speed of the camera (no instantFocus, slow shutterspeed).
So my question is/are:
1) Is porting MIUI camera an option for a faster focus (and better shutterspeed)?
2) How is instantFocus implemented in MIUI?
Is it possible to unlock (helio x10's) instantFocus by copying the right camera libs (+MIUI camera-apk?)
[I am still a newbie in this world T_T maybe some pinpoints are also useful]

So I just installed CyanogenMod 7 Beta5 on my Defy and it's AWESOME!
But the only thing that disturb me is the Camera app in the ROM,
It does not have widescreen option for photos and The flash comes too early when taking pictures (photos becomes way too bright)..
So I'm asking that if someone could provide me the Stock BlurCamera.apk of froyo Defy please!!....
And if you could please explain how to install a stock app...
Many thanks

The BlurCamera uses libs from Blur core, I checked some files inside the .apk, it requires Motoblur.
I'm no android dev so I don't know what is possible here, but it would be awesome to have the BlurCamera (in my opinion the only good Blur app) on CM7, so if anyone of the devs has some time, BlurCamera fully supports Defy hardware, has an option to turn shutter sound off, and provides widescreen pictures as well as many effects and a decent UI.
the camera is the only bug of cm7,after AGPS being fixed today
fix flash focus maybe?
I am not using CM7 ( going to install it in the next few days). As i was reading i understood on a thread that in Camera Settings there is and option to pre-focus that fixes your problem??? Don't really know if it's there, maybe i red it elsewhere.
Any news on this? If there are no legal problems regarding motorola, I think this would be worth to work on, I could try but I think one of our great developers like Quarx or dexter could do it faster and more professional
Here again a short summary of the features:
- nice UI designed for fullscreen recording (16:9 pictures, maybe soon 16:9 videos?)
- up to 5mp pictures
- 6x zoom
- some effects (grayscale, color inversion etc.)
- camera modes (night, macro, motion)
- many options (shutter sound, shutter animation, ...)
- autofocus and flash optimized for defy (very good pictures, especially with jpg compression patch)
- google camera somehow always is on full brightness... blurcamera can manage brightness levels of the screen that the display doesn't blind you while taking nightly images
- some things I forgot
Quarx already posted a zip with the blur camera for cm7 its only a test and I think video does not work at least no sound.
Sent from my Defy on EphuNord rom.

Thanks for the info!!
I just hope that the blur camera will be worked and integrated in CM7... Because the UI is sleek and simple..
When the BlurCamera works and most of the minor bugs are fixed CM7 by Quarx will be the perfect rom, but until now it's also the best I've ever seen
I hope that we'll find soon a way to install original MotoBlur apps separately on any unofficial ROM. It will be great to have the BlurCamera and the Blur Music Player on CM7.
I agree, although does slow phones down quite a bit, I've yet to find an app that integrates contacts as well. Hopefully there will be a way to bring motoblur to CM7.
Hi all, as we all know the HTC Hero has it's weak spot in the camera.
On many ROMs that go beyond the official 2.1 Release it is very variing wether it work or not and wether it has certain features or not.
What I know and speculate so far.
-To use the camera, Android needs a camera driver.
-Apparently these drivers are kexts (kernel extentions) witch are only compatible with certain versions of the Linux kernel.
-On CyanogenMod/AOSP based ROMs the camera app gives us more raw images with less post processing as there are no information about the sensor color proprieties.
-On HTC Sense ROMs photos are more saturated, contrasty as HTC knows about the sensor and has engineers who optimised the post processing algorithms accordingly.
So why can't we have HTCs camera apk everywhere? at least it relyes on some HTC Sense (that reside inside at least one external APK) frameworks to do some UI/UX shenanigans. I suppose also that HTC uses a dedicated camera driver and not a generic AOSP one additionaly.
What I don't know and want to know is where all the features in the little settings overlay in the AOSP Camera App come from. At first I thought it was a hardware capability but all of the sudden came FroydVillain (at least for me) and had touch to focus etc.
So my question is: can we decouple camera development to make(and keep up to date) the ultimate, full featured camera driver/app for the hero that works up to 2.3.4 ?
t.l.d.r. : I want touch to focus and spot metering in all ROMS up to 2.3.4
Previous Questions in the forum have been answered pretty vagely and unsatisfactory, so I try to gather as much info as I can here. Please complete, correct and link me to what I'm missing out here.

Camcorder does work you have to change the it from 640 480 to 320 240 in the settings
Thanks, I love this rom but the only setback for me is the SMS + prefix issue that I m experiencing with this rom, let me know if you have a fix for it.

Hi everyone
Can i get the lastest Camera app from Stock SE Froyo 2.1update1 with all skills like face recognition and smile shutter on to Cyanogenmod????
i have CM6 [6.1.3]gingerbread[v01]
It is the only thing that i miss from SE
sorry for my bad english....
saludos
No, if the camera functions could have been ported dont you think they would have?! The devs aren't purposely building the ROMs with missing features, the drivers and app compatability have so far prevented the full development of camera functions in custom ROMs. If you want face recognition, full zoom and quality you need to use 2.1 ROMs.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
mmm and some recommended app to test with functions like original app camera?
thanks for your time.
Hi,
there are some recommended third party apps like vignette or camera illusion.
I've found no version yet that supports zoom or Flash (if im wrong please anybody correct me).
Thats the point because i am a little bit critic over custom roms.
They are faster than stock rom, many are fast as hell.
But no really functionally camera is no opportunity for me.
In Froyo roms the Camera works good, i use the MIUI Camera for Froyo apk.
The SE stock rom ist the slowest i've ever seen but the camera app (except for smile shutter e.g.) is the best.

Does anyone have an idea how to port some official SE apps to for example AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA FINAL, which is made to be as clean as possible.
I really would like to try that ROM and compare its battery life to KA05 ICS but I really would also like to have 3d/sweep panorama camera.
This is because I'm travelling to Thailand soon.. and two main things I am going to need there are good battery life and sweep panorama camera.
So is it a big thing to port those apps for non-SE ROMs?
If someone can suggest a good swipe panorama camera app (alternative to sony's), I also would really appreacite that

i am on the latest rr rom. the rom is great but the only problem is camera performance. camera is really bad. but the camera in miui is good. is there any way to port the miui camera to RR or any mod to increase the performance of RR camera?
I'd love to know that. On CM even HDR doesn't work and camera takes photos worse than 5yo phones.
I use a software called open camera , its working great . I can use manual focus on it, my friends who underestimated my phone began to adore it
Try to install Camera.apk search on google miui camera apk and dowload it
