[REQ][APPS]Are there any picture viewer apps...?

That DON'T distort when zooming in?
Here's an image:
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/7324/b1floor1.jpg
Here's what it looks like at MAX ZOOM using the stock Gallery app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any app that doesn't absolutely destroy the image like this when zooming in? (Why the hell did Google do this crap...)
Any other solutions on the Windows side would be welcome too. (I tried printing to pdf, and printing to 17x22 scaled up, but still looks like garbage when zoomed in on the phone, yet perfect on my PC. Any other ideas?)

Following this subject with interest. noticed my pics from my nikon g11 looked like crap in gallery as well, while beautyful on my computer.

I thought it was just my pictures.
I couldn't understand it as they were taken with £700 Digital SLR.
Thinking about it now they are pixel perfect on my PC also.
Hmmm, disturbing this one.

Great, it's not just me!

Yes I'm having trouble with this too

This is a travesty

Look for Multi-touch Gallery in market

Here are Nemoplayer from acer liquid . works just fine on the N1 \ with widget.

Thanks, this works a little bit better. Unfortunately, I think this is just an Android limitation.
I did find however, that if I zoomed in on my PC, took a print screen, saved as another png, and then used pinch and zoom on the new image on my phone, it did not distort at all, finally. Quite a hassle, but I guess Android just doesn't like zooming.

It's asinine to load up a 2,000px X 2,000px image in it's entirety to dsiplay on an 800x600 screen.
The gallery probably downscales it to 800x600 size and zooms in on that temporary scaled picture.
(substitiute 800x600 with whatever resolution the nexus is)

I disagree. It should display the exact picture that I have.

Exactly. There should be no "temporarily scaled picture". The picture is *physically and actually* changed, which should not be happening.
Especially on this so called "Superphone", there should be no reason that it mutilates pictures so that pixels are completely destroyed when zooming in.

quick question that doesn't need its own thread.
I am trying to install the Nemo Player .apk
When I download the file it downloaded as nemoplayer.apk.zip So I tried in my terminal while in fastboot ./adb-mac install nemoplayer.apk.zip and it said it could find the file. I had the file in the SD card, and in my SDK folder. And I also tried astro, but that didn't work either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers!

Unzip it

So I've noticed that with Multitouch Gallery, the picture is the clearest of all when zooming in, but still distorts if it's TOO wide or very square.
It will always attempt to fit the width of picture in the width of the phone. So best bet is to have a picture that's very tall and very slim. A square picture or an extremely wide picture is the worst, and will look absolutely terrible when zooming in.
The fact that Google coded it so that it absolutely must fit width-wize, and then distort when zooming in, is absolutely stupid.

Bump, for that banding thread

Is there a fix to make the Touch Pro camera flash less useless?

I'm sure all of you know that the Touch Pro camera flash turns brighter during the actual taking of a picture. The problem is that the camera doesn't adjust the brightness accordingly! The brightness is adjusted during the preview but thats with the camera flash at a lower luminence.
Here are two examples of the lack of adjustment, in comparison to my Sony Ericsson W810 with its flash as well.
Touch Pro: http://www.mylilsite.net/images/compare/sdtpw8v3/tppaperflash1.jpg
W810: http://www.mylilsite.net/images/compare/sdtpw8v3/w8paperflash1.jpg
Touch Pro: http://www.mylilsite.net/images/compare/sdtpw8v3/tpheatsinkflash1.jpg
W810: http://www.mylilsite.net/images/compare/sdtpw8v3/w8heatsinkflash1.jpg
As you can see, the W810 (which also makes the flash brighter during the actual taking of the picture) is properly programmed to compensate for the change in brightness while the Touch Pro doesn't do anything. Whats the point of having the flash if it just ruins the picture?
Is there anything I can install or modify to get the Touch Pro camera to be smarter like the W810??

Bump!
How about disabling the flash from getting brighter during the actual taking of the picture?

You could always:
1) turn off flash in the camera app
2) run nueLight3, htorch, or another flashlight app and enable the "bright" flash
3) run the camera app (which should compensate for the brighter flash), and take the photo.

Sorry to say, i dont think so - well i havent found anything atleast. Had the TP for a year (just upgraded to the Leo a few weeks ago) and never found anything to make the camera take a decent pic (flash or not) in all that time. Sorry!

Hey, thats a good idea!
Unfortunately...
What I did #1:
1) Ran the Camera app and left the light turned off
2) Pressed Home button
3) Ran nueLight3 and turned on "High Beam"
4) Triggered ArkSwitch and selected Camera
5) Took this screenshot with Shake And Save:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6) I couldn't find nueLight3 running in ArkSwitch or Task Manager and couldn't even run the app again. I was only able to turn off the light by resetting the phone. I guess the error experienced by Camera crashed nueLight3 as well.
What I did #2:
1) Ran nueLight3 and turned on "High Beam"
2) Ran the Camera app (triggered by holding PTT button)
3) Took this screenshot with Shake And Save:
4) nueLight3 was still running this time.
Has your idea worked for you?
@Beeble, yeah I agree the camera itself also sucks (my SE W810's is much better), but when outside or just needing a quick picture.. I'd go with my phone. However, it better be able to take pictures properly with its own included hardware and features . So I want this flash issue fixed.

Are there any other ideas?

I've taped a piece of paper to the inside of the backplate over the 'flash' LED. It manages to diffuse it slightly, but I still get a 'bleed' of light from the direction of the flash.
I think having the ability to adjust the behaviour of the flash LED would be great... If the timing of it could be changed so it goes brighter just before the photo was taken, then dims for the actual shot, it would work similar to red-eye reduction in regular cameras.
Any luck in finding an app to help with this since your last post?

hate to say it but, theres no absoluetly no way you can fix how the flash reacts when taking a picture, HTC is not good at specializing in cameras unlike Sony, but the suggestion the guy above was saying is something i would try out, if it doesnt work out for you, theres no other alternative at this moment

Man, really wish some solution was found, hopefully someone finds one. I just had a bad experience using the flash, it was great to have, but that totally bites how it doesn't compensate for the extra flash at the end. Defeats the purpose of the flash. I got the same error trying with htorch.

Froyo Camera jgp compression patch/disable

replace /system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin with attached file
It is possible to improve the JPG compression of the camera, almost removing the compression. I have already written on the xda-devs, can someone come in handy here.
Take the file / system / etc / mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin, changes everything 41 01 44 07 41 01 XX to 44 07 01 and replace the phone. In sharp ones Jpg files will be 3 times more, about 1,5 Mega and visually clearer, because More information is preserved.
Orginal thread:
http://translate.googleusercontent....le.com&usg=ALkJrhiMchLa2BqAErK-NweguJWkSvGNSw

I already try this patch.. I can't say that improves the quality much..
That It's better than before,I agree!
Sent from my MOTO Defy

Found it strange since day 1 I have this great phone that you cannot set the jpeg compression in the camera software.
Anyway, somehow getting the raw sensor data, that would be really cool!

Not a perfect picture, but much more better now, thanks.

- Well, what do you think how many % did quality improve?
- And how many % did the data-rate/filesize increase?
The relation of these two factors is the only relevant thing here I think.

Can you please upload the PICTURE "before and after" this update please

in both respects no change on my defy. image quality doesn't improve noticably, neither does the file size (stays between 1.1-1.3mb). sorry. but thanks for the effort though.

It's only a simple change of exposition, only works with flash and something with normal photos witouth flash!!
Go awai lier...

Ehi guys the user Stalker1971 from telefonino.net uploaded 2 picture: one made with the standard camera app, the second one with the app "Pro zoom camera 5x".
I think the quality improvement is huge.
Take a look at the photo:
1 standard) less than 400 kb

2 Pro zoom camera 5x) 3,1 MB

What do you think?

Kinda hard to compare if its not the same image, really...

Indeed. And ofcourse, a bigger filesize says little about actual quality.

OMG... Did you even tried that? I didn't said it's perfect, but pictures are now much more better, and less compressed, compared with those without this patch. So it is on my phone, that's a fact.
So please go away yourself.

Hi,
Here are sample of stock camera, vignette and Camera360:
Stock_camera...............................Vignette....................................Camera360
468KB..........................................1.62MB.....................................1.29MB
quality75......................................quality100..................................quality100
Tomorrow I'm gonna try to shot on the day light.
I prefer Camera360 photos but stock camera is working very well too. Vignette has some trouble with flash led.
edit:
Here are photos in day light.
1. Camera360
2. Stock Camera
3. Vignette
Vignette looks the best at the day light.

I have some trouble with this patch.
My stock program works well for 2-3 shoots sequently, but then it stuck with half screen with photo and half with grey color...
I noticed with my first vertical photo (turning phone clockwise) but after that it's happened almost every time...
Now I try go back with stock one.
Maybe something in file writing stucked the phone.. Someone have noticed something similar?
Edit: Maybe I've found the bug.. if I take photos in my room, the photo is around 800KB, but with external snapshot (more details, more colors = bigger file) I can reach over 1.4MB... I think the camera is stucking with files over that dimension. Maybe a bit higher compression will help.. I'll try.

Pictures taken with xt720

Since mighty Zn5 i have greatest respect for Motorola camera phones. Soon enough I hope I will change my X10 for xt720.
I would like to see your shots and hear your thoughts about xt720 cam, cause its a shame that this phone doesn't have thread like this of its own.
Thanks

actually the photos taken are not as good as it's counterparts..

well, only photos taken with xt720 you can find on internet are those on Esato forum http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/index.php?make=Motorola&model=MilestoneXT720 and most of them are mediocre except those indoors which are excellent. Majority of other photos, are taken from car or something, so they dont represent true quality. So I wanted to see some representative specimen here

If you check out XT720 reviews, most of them have pics from the camera (for the purpose of the review). I find the camera is pretty good (amazing with the flash in dark environments).

yes I am aware fo that, but those photos are quickly taken during 1-2 days needed for review. But when you use cell and know its strenghts and weakneses you tend to make much better pictures. General story about xt720 camera is, pictures are mediocre, it has shutter lag bla bla bla etc. in which I dont believe according to few samples and specs of camera.
In some cases I like x10 camera, but I dislike: fake colours, low sharpness, idiotic flash, poor night mode, slow interface etc.
Check this xt720 picture out

Amazing sharpness even strong light goes directly in lens

I don't believe the quality of the pics are bad, they tend to look great for me for the most part. Shutter lag is there kind of though (sometimes takes a good moment for it to take the picture after pressing the button) .

and what camera apps do you use?
i has been using the stock app but found out that it compressed the jpeg file too much...

shutter lag as if "time between pressing shutter and actual taking of the photo"? And how big it is? half second, 1 sec?
I ve read somewhere that nightmode is not functioning at all, that its like normal mode + flash, not like normal nightmode with higher iso and exposure?
Post images

xt has good camera quality (I would say better than ZN5)
I don't know of what shutter lag are everybody talking about, but the only lag is happening when you take first picture with xenon flash (this is normal behavior because flash capacitor needs to fill up)
it has very good macro mode, light metering is great (ZN5 would burn some photos with xenon, but with xt this is not case)
auto focus is really quick, and noise is acceptable (mind you this is not camera, but cameraphone )

I fully agree with pajo.
This is a great camera and all functions well. I do notice the shutter lag, but it only happens SOMEtimes, 99% of the time there is no lag. So that 1 time it does happen is not worth mentioning. I use the stock app btw.
I also dunno what people are talking about the modes. Night mode doesn't work? Then why does it work fine here? Same for macro. Also works. Everything in the camera works (I use Dexter 2.2 btw, but even on stock 2.1 it works fine).
I love this phone and the camera

well since I consider Zn5 to be best camera phone after N8, than you put up quite a challeng here . Go post some night landscapes and normal night shots so I can see quality.
Btw concerning HDMI, is it only for playing videos, or you can use TV for playing games, browsing etc.?

Disappointed with the camera quality
Actually I have XT720 with standard OS 2.1
I'm VERY disappointed with quality of pictures.
Here is some comparison I made between my NEW 8Mpixel XT720 and my OLD 5Mpixel Nokia N95.
Please check at attached pictures (name of the pictures should be self explanatory)
Now you really think the camera is good....
I also compared the phone with Sony X10 and Samsung "latest galaxy something" and the worst quality is with Motorola XT720
If you want more test (even more official) take a look at
GSMarena website where they have picture comparison of latest cameraphone and, please, address me to a phone that is worst that XT720.
I just have a question:
Is the camera performing better with 2.2 Update?
Thanks

When HTC and Samsung came out with burst camera in their quad core devices we were all excited by one of the camera feature "Burst shot mode"
But now thanks to Spritefish we can now have the same experience on our Android devices and you don't need to have the One X or S3
Fast Burst Camera has made its way onto the Play Store and it does exactly what we were looking for. Simply hold down the button and you can snap up to 30 frames in a single second if your device allows it. The free version works just fine, but has a few ads which can seem intrusive. For $4, you can buy the pro version which unlocks some additional features such as auto-focus and lighting settings. View the video below to see some real life experiences with the application and see if it could help you take some neat shots.
Note : due to the high speed, pictures are not taken in the highest resolution possible.

Great app! Does it take pictures in full quality though?

With that kind of pic resolutions, I might be better off by just shooting a video and extracting those frames manually afterwards.

Used the app on my galaxy note, I am amazed by its ability. Just the image quality needs improvement. I tried the lite version though, anyone see any difference in the pro version?

When I read the portal news piece I was anticipating a tool to take rapid fire full resolution pics. While my G2X doesn't have a dedicated camera processing chip but it is still a dual core Tegra phone. I was disappointed to continue reading and discover it was about an app I've had on my phone for nearly a year. Don't get me wrong, I really like the app but it wasn't what I was expecting. Kinda bummed because the stock ROM camera software was pretty good and could do six photo bursts at 2MB but the ROM sucked monkey balls. Still recommend fast bust camera a long a you have plenty of light.

lower the resolution and it wont lag

The burst speed is incredible, no lag but the resolution is very low (800*480 insead of 2000*1600)

Yeah 800*480 with no lag really isn't impressive nowadays and the pictures are useless at that resolution.

Nice app. It would be great if we could adjust the shutter speed manually.

Note that this will give you a bad result, as the video is compressed and ripping pictures from this compressed stream will give pictures with compression artifacts in them.

This app was the free app of the day on Amazon last year, it is in no way new.
I used it for a while but image quality is not the best. Improve image quality and I may be tempted to give it another try.
