[Q] Front Facing camera quality on GingerBread - Thunderbolt General

Ok I'm rooted and been playing with some of the current GingerBread roms, on some of the first roms the FFC didn't work at all. No it works but the quality of the picture lookes like it's a "Characture Drawing" (colors look like a old webcam) and Not a clear picture like on Froyo. So withoput having to go back to Froyo and change all the radios and things to test it out I'd like to ask what others are seeing with theirs? Or is my FF camers brokeand need to go back to Verizon?

[Q] Camera Hardware device

Now I am under the impression that the camera on this phone has greater capabilities then any of the android operating systems (including roms) allow am i correct in this thinking?? and was the lg camera the best?
currently i am running latest eaglesblood which i like very much so.
i am not that tech savy and have a hard time understanding the complexites of video and capture with 720p and all will there be an upgrade?? for cm7 based roms
basically where do we stand and where are we going for 2.3.5 with camera??
ps. same basic question but with hdmi??
IMO the lg camera rules. The CM7 based cameras are very dark, they don't see light properly. Eagles blood does not play nice with stock lg camera. I tried flashing lg cam to it and it replaced both camera apps that come biult in. It also stoped me from getting a signal, and no battery indicator.
Probably try cm7 nightly 2.3.4 and try installing stock camera there. Not sure if that will work. I will try and respond here.
DO NOT USE LG CAMERA WITH CM7 IT IS NOT COMPATIABLE JUST YET. DIDNT YOU READ THE THREAD? THAT IS WHY IT DOESNKT WORKON EB BECAUSE IT IS CM7 BASED. IT WILL BE COMPATABLE BUT doniqcc said it is going to take a lot of work be wise the framework is completely different Anyway that's the deal just be pacient it will happen.

Try installing the latest MIUI... 1.9.11 I believe.
The camera in that is AMAZING. Touch-to-focus works great, and focuses really well. Better than the LG Cam IMO, and it's 2.3.5 based!
import
now i tried the miui rom and in my experience i had so many bugs and fc
would it be possible to import that to cm7 or cm7 based roms?
waiting for the next whole none nightly solid CM7.
jbdaka6445 is right miui sucks. Actually it is a decent looking ROM espicially if you like the ****ty Iphone. But I hafd it installed and Iusually keep a New ROM installed at least a few days but I could not staND ALL THE FC AND BUGS.

[Q] Better Camera?

The Inspire camera, in my opinion had some of the best phone camera quality I has ever done seen, but when I switched over to cyanogenmod, the camera quality went completely down hill... Is there anyway I can get the sense camera back but keep cyanogenmod?

Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984279 it's good
I actually use my inspire camera for many quality assurance pictures at work. i use the camera app built into my ics rom. but on gingerbread i found camerazoom to be amazing.
I installed the BlackICE rom in an attempt to get better battery life,
and because its based on CyanogenMod it was missing the stock Inspire
camera, it does have MIUI camera but I don't like it as good as the
stock camera, I have Camera Zoom FX, but I just don't like it ether,
I did find one camera app I like, its called LGcamera, but try the
free version first, as some people seem to have problems, but it works
good for me.
I use LeeDroid and I actually like the camera more now than on my stock ROM, I don't use a third party app. Maybe try it and see if it works for you if you haven't already.

[Resolved] Wanting old Sensation 1080p camera back.

So here's my issue: I have an HTC Sensation 4g (brilliant phone) which is rooted, and custom rom'd with CyanogenMod 9, the Nightly build. I have the latest version installed, and I love everything about it. I have one small issue though. I really miss the old camera from the Sense Rom. Is there any way to get the old camera back? Or is there a camera I can download that will basically replace it?
I loved taking 1080p photos with my phone, but now I feel like the quality and size of the pictures I take have dropped when I switched to ICS CM9. I read up on some mods to get the old camera back but they claim you need Sense installed on your phone. (Which I believe is a memory waster) I got rid of it to move on, but I wish I brought the camera with me.
Any suggestions?
Hello? Anyone ever try getting the old APK back? Would it work?
Hi,
i use the ROM
RCMix
an you can finde a RAM hack in this thread. So there you'll have the camera as you like und much RAM as you can get
hope this helps ...
This doesn't solve the problem. I want to keep my ROM. Its an amazing one and don't plan on abandoning it.
okay ...
may this helps?
grrr cant post external link so try this:

That IS a better solution, but not the one I want. I want to keep the Rom that I have but get the old camera or the equivalent of it back.
I like Camera360, but it doesn't take video. It takes the same size photos, but it can't record video. Know any apps like C360 that DO record video?

Mytouch 4g slide stock camera?

Does anyone know any newer roms that have the same camera/ camcorder light asjustment settings as stock rom? any newer phone that has the same settings? this phone kicks ass for taking my sons videos and pics. Love this phone but not able to use alot of apps nowa days.
Guess I was a little too elaborate in my other post. To save duplication:

Suitable Cameras for S3 running 5.0 / 5.1+? My thoughts on current options

I have been getting a bit frustrated. I'm not sure if its a CM 12.1 issue, or just a hardware + lollipop issue.
Here is my opinion on cameras that 'work' with the rom, but have issues.
1. Stock CM 12.1 camera. Has known "cannot connect' issue. I believe this ASOP camera is the same as the Google Camera. Each version seems to have small tweaks /settings, but IMHO this camera lacks tons of useful features other stock cameras have. These are useful if all you care about is point and shoot, versus filters, scenes, etc.. I am lumping Google Camera in this, even though the icons are different.
2. OpenCamera. This is the one I am currently using, and seems to be stable for me, and I am running Nightly 12.1 July 15 nightly with DKP kernel (tweaked) and july 13 GAPPS. My only gripe is I still feel like the quality of the pics isn't what you get with stock, but also the delay between pics is annoying, as opposed to Google Camera which gives you pretty instantaneous snaps. Even with the thumbnail animation disabled, there is a 1/2 - 1 sec delay between pics.
3. Someone recommended the HTC Camera. I was able to find a series of APK versions from googling, and this camera had really good promise. You did need the HTC Gallery for it to work, BUT..and this was the deal breaker, the front camera broke for me. The front camera only worked, for a short time, with the most recent HTC Camera version...but would eventually freeze, and couldn't even force close. A reboot was required. Very annoying.
It would be awesome if we could flash another stock camera app in this, like the S4, S5, S6, etc.
Any other recommendations besides apps from the Play Store?

It was in the KK builds also but some of the ROMs in KK had fully functioning camera but it went crap again with CM12.
I installed the FL-5 Camera and Cinema apps, paid for both. So far I am enjoying them and feel the quality and speed is great.
Camera 360 works suitably well. Solid filters and features if bloated. Its a veteran app and has seen its worst days long behind them. The magic skin filter is the best on android. Black is the color of Korean selfie sorcery. You purchase beauty but at what cost? Your soul of course, and an excessive UI.
A better camera is my personal go to.

Be weary when flashing or porting camera apk's and firmware.
Basically a few weeks ago I hard bricked my SCH-I535 by flashing the wrong firmware for the camera to try to get it to work. So my only caution to you is the be absolutely sure the firmware of apk is compatible. I tried to port the firmware for the galaxy S5 to the S3 however I think the difference in firmware is what caused the problem. I extracted the S5 firmware for the stock camera app and then zipped it and signed it to be flashed on the S3. Well I knew what I had done when the phone buzzed once and never turned on again. I had an unlocked boot loader running CM 12.1 (if I remember correctly) and had CWM set as my custom recovery.
I wish you luck in your quest to find a working camera app for your S3. I know I wish I still had mine to fiddle with and maybe even downgrade while we wait for a solution to the non-working lollipop camera.
