VERY bad image quality from rear camera - faulty? - HTC Desire 610

Hello guys
Yesterday, I rooted and flashed my 610 with cm11 rom. The same day I removed back battery cover and replaced battery.
Today I found out that my rear phone camera has very bad quality. Photos are gross. The rear camera has now circa the same image quality as the front camera.
I already tried factory reset, and also tried to flash CM12 rom. The result was the same.
What do you think that that happend? It is software or hardware related? Did I somehow managed to physically damage the camera lens when I was removing the battery? It is possible to damage camera, while it still performing but with bad image quality?
I added some attachments.
First one is rear camera, the second one is front camera for comparison, and third is rear camera from the outside.
If you zoom it, you can see huge compression.
Thank you

[Q] Replacement camera lens

I got a bit of dirt between my camera lens/cover and my desk not long after getting my Galaxy S2 and it's managed to scratch it. Since then the auto-focus doesn't work and all my pictures are blurry.
Does anybody know if it's possible to replace the lens or camera, and if so, how?
Thanks!
Replace the camera module. It's rare, but i found it on some parts site for 20usd.

Well, it's a Motorola -of course the camera is crap
But to be honest, the photos your Razr is taking are much worse than normal.
I assume that you have cleaned the lens and set the exposure time to automatic and that you hold the camera still while taking a photo. Furthermore you wait until the rectangle that shows the focus becomes green.
So it could be a hardware problem -maybe the lens does not fit correctly or it's another failure during assembling. In this case you should get a replacement.
It could also be a software problem, I'd try to download a free camera software from the market, place your phone on a rigid surface and shoot a photo. Does it look as blurry as the previous ones I guess you should get a replacement.
I attached two photos I made right now...colour reproduction isn't good with Moto cameras but sharpness should not be a problem.
I tried other camera apps (camera zoom fx, camera ultimate 360) and result is the same.
I read elsewhere that someone else DL'd the Camera Zoom FX app and it made a world of difference.

venue camera result?

HI all
Im really disappointed with the camera result for dell venue.
Its just too blurry and colour combination also not so great.
I feel my older galaxy y with 2mp had better sharpness and sensors.
Night photos with led is useless.Cant even get proper faces in it.
Is this the problem with every1 here?Or its just that the handset i have has some problem with cam?Users sample images will make it clear.

Its very bad quality camera as u can see
Take a good look at the plastic built into the rear cover that covers the lens. Take a picture with the rear cover taken off, on mine the clear plastic piece that covers the lense was terrible and I had to clean it really well, and may still just remove it. Without the back cover, the pictures are actually fairly good.
Hey thanx...yes i think the backcover lense is the problem.
Removing backcover photo is slightly better!

8MP Camera not 8MP?

Sorry, I seem to bombard you guys with questions (and seem to answer them myself ), but that's not the problem. The problem is with my HTC One X+ not taking 8MP camera (and apps not recognizing the camera as 8MP)... including the main stock HTC One X+ camera app... or so it seems. I've tried Camera Zoom FX which recognizes up to 8MP and it went up to 5.1MP for my camera... a different app went up to 6MP, but mostly it's 5MP (as the best quality for my camera).
All my pictures that I take are very noisy and not clear (file size anywhere between .6 - 1.2MB)... that is not good. Resolution is 3264x1840 (or vise versa if it's vertical).
I don't know what the deal might be... is the camera failing on me (Camera on my previous Samsung Galaxy S3 failed completely... wouldn't open at all)... don't know how the cameras seem to die on me... I do take a lot of pictures, but most of the pictures I've taken are bad quality and very noisy... really really really disappointing since I value the camera a lot... I chose this phone for the 8MP (was afraid of the 4 UltraPixels of One so I went with regular 8MP)... now I regret, seen I'm getting a terrible quality 5MP pictures. (I've seen 5MP phone cameras take MUCH better photos then my "8MP" camera).

What rom are you on?
Also the noisy pictures thing may be caused by the fact that the back cover of the camera has a coating that gets scratched really easy and you should remove it, search in the Q&A forum on how to.
The "8MP camera bug" is one of many annoying bugs introduced in the only HOX+ update. The problem is that HTC messed one file in which there are available photo size options. That way NO external camera app will use full 8 MP. Only 5, 5.1 or 6 (square) MP. However, the stock camera should take full 8MP pictures, I can prove it. Check camera options.
This bug can be fixed if you have root access. I found a tutorial about this here at XDA, but after many, many google searches and I have no idea where it is now.
Install zero compression mod, lyaporta camera mod, 8mp photos are in 4:3, pretty sure widescreen or 16:9 option is only 6mp, as it crops the top and bottom instead of making the sides wider.

Thanks, I will try that and let you know how it's going
The reason I'm looking for a new camera app is because the stock camera takes photos of terrible quality

Sorry, I can't seem to find the lyaporta camera mod anywhere on XDA... I found a few posts that refers to it, but can't find anything else.
Is this the zero compression mod? If so, how do I flash it? Just put it on my sdcard and install it VIA TWRP? Also, how could I make a back-up of the current camera library? (I use sense 5 and the stock one that they offer there is for sense 4... or does it not matter and I can update it back to be compatible with sense 5?)
Thanks for your awesome help so far!!! I'm pretty new at this.
Zero Compression
Well, I tried that zero compression mod thing that I linked above and it does make the file size larger (also changed crop to regular and resolution to 4:3) and the image seems to be a little bit better but if you zoom in it's so noisy, it's just bad...

Flash the zero compression driver that disables the noise reduction rubbish that HTC implements (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339226). Camera Mod is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221815, it`s in the modpack , you can install without other mods, it improves image quality by a good deal. How old is the phone, my phone started developing hazy, blurry photos that had a ridiculous amount of bloom in any lit area, I noticed how scratched the lens was, the fix, simply put a small dab of tooth paste and a drop of water on a microfibre cloth and rub the lens in a circular motion for about 5 mins, don`t use too much water cause it can get under the lens, now my lens is as good as new and the camera takes some darn nice photos.

The lyaporta camera mod breaks my phone... it's just stuck in the start-up HTC One logo screen and that's it... I restored to the backup I did before installing the mod, but it doesn't seem to work... maybe I just have to wait a little longer... I waited for like 1 minute on the logo screen before going back to the backup...

Custom rom camera quality

After installing custom rom, front camera quality degrades.
Photos from Back camera are fine
But photos’ quality from front camera are pretty bad.
Is this possible that just one side of camera’s quality becomes bad?
