Raw photos?

Hello, everyone. Bought some days ago HTC Diamond 2, right now I’m learning what can I do here. But reason why I’m writing is about internal camera. Here are few shots

Well, I think that’s pretty good for internal camera. But I’m sure that if I could get raw images, I could do more. So maybe there is some software that can get data from matrix without any phone enhancements and compression?
Same question concerning video recording feature. Any way to have 30fps with less compression?

Well, can't believe that no one interested in improvement of our cam.

Yeah, I also tried andropan once, man, it was UGLY.
Sent from my CDMA Hero, sucka!

yep.. thats the name of it.. i remember seeing some BS samsung or LG phone that came with this feature stock and it looked good, so its hard to believe that someone hasn't made a good working panoramic picture taking device...

Hi,
I'm the developper of Andropan.
Can you tell me what is UGLY in my application?
So I can make it better and better
Which device do you use?
Thanks for your help

The Epic's camera app has panorama built in. Im on the Evo myself but my family uses the hero. Glad I lurked on this thread, hopefully the Epic's camera app can be ported over sometime

try vignette. is the best camera.

1.Starting the application into a black screen is a bit - distasteful and not user friendly. Add the buttons that you have when pressing menu here.
2. The Plumb and Level indicators are a bit hard to get right, you should probably think about over laying a set of arrows to tell the user how they need to move to get level and plumb.
3. Typical camera uses the trackball to snap the picture instead of menu or a screen tap (at least on our heros) This would make it more fluid.
4. Not sure how you are storing/retrieving GEO information, but its wrong...at least for me it is
5. Just in my office - it seemed like one picture would have a different light saturation than another frame in the picture.
6. Your stitching of the pictures seems like it has a VERY low error tolerance, and you might try looking at other ways of matching and stitching pieces together so they are seamless.
7. After you have one panorama, instead of showing it at the beginning, have a gallery button, this way they can come into a screen of buttons and actually navigate with out having to use hard keys.
The above was meant to be constructive - please don't take offense, I think you have a good starting point with the app. If you need help with any of it let me know, I have a pretty decent Java/Android background, just no time to make my own apps.

I didn't understand the difference between the two different options for creating a panoramic pic (I don't remember what they were called, manage and auto I think)
I also didn't understand the point of levels
Also it would be nice when the stitching occurs if the app looked for overlap and then removed the overlapping parts of the pic.
Another suggestion would be that when you take a pic that is part of the panoramic shot that you leave it on screen and then overlay the camera view over it so you can better line up and tell where the next shot should be.

Give us a link to check so we can see for ourselves.
Could it be that the site you're on is seeing that you're on a mobile device and not offering up full resolution images?

here is the link
http://thundafunda.com/wallpaper-blog/blog/hd-wallpapers/

are you tethering? or just from on the device?
one of the Androidandme.com guys posted on twitter saying that when he was tethering his NS the images on his laptop appeared way compressed

Okay, I just looked at that site on both my MacBook Pro (Chrome and Safari browser) and the phone.
Using the park bench in the snow as a sample, it zooms in pretty butt ugly pixelated on both screens. That image is only 600x450 to begin with.
Using the yellow and black starburst 1600x1200 image on both, it zooms in very nicely.
I think it's just a matter of too small a resolution image being zoomed in too tightly. Should the phone (or laptop) do some kind blending to smooth things out...?

oh i see~~ because I saw sb said when using NS, ths SMS? image becone blurry

Well, that was a totally different issue, and it's been corrected by T-Mobile/Google.
If I recall correctly, that had something to do with T-Mobile service not recognizing the phone properly, so T-Mo was compressing the MMS pics too much on the server side. Seems to be a common thing with T-Mo and new devices they don't launch on their own (according to what I've read).

ya, it was an issue with the tmobile MMSC server not knowing how to handle the device/not knowing what device it was, that issue since has been corrected,
but thanks for reminding me, gotta remove the link in my sig

Can you edit the intesity of the blur in portrait mode?

And if so, can you do it later?

Doubtful as that is in the post processing I believe. The reason people are looking for the Gcam port, or they would just adjust the current camera software.

Being a post-process is exactly why you should be able to do whatever you want woth the background. So is it a yes or a no? Can you do it with stock camera?

Actually I meant that it's done in the OnePlus algorithms. Meaning you'd have to be a camera expert to even know what does what. It's not like taking an APK and porting it. You'd have to rewrite it or know what to rewrite. At least this is what I'd expect

If I'm right its not possible with the current stock camera app
But if Oneplus tries and puts some effort on camera app ,they can

I really wish we could shoot in RAW format in portrait mode, does anyone know if that is possible? Or is it with the Gcam mod?

Wow, that's...that's game breaking for me honestly. I heard amazing things about OnePlus (5t and 6), especially in terms of gaming performance, and i was really looking into buying one (plus 6 ) in the near future. But i love taking pics in weekends and holidays and edit them later to my leisure.
I'm keeping my eyes on news of some update that fixes this limitation that shouldn't exist in the first place

Ok then let's request Oneplus to include blur intensity in camera app?

If you're that worried about raw, you should be shooting with a dslr camera. These are point and shoot that has been given a manual mode but these are still not a replacement for a regular dslr.

I agree DSLR is best but it would be nice still if we could shoot raw format pictures in portrait mode still, I mean why do they give us portrait mode but can't do much post processing with it?

To me since I am a photography enthusiast (fairly serious) that the portrait mode is still just for quick snaps to give a more focus point of view on the subject, not for wedding photos and such. I get your point you still want to maybe do some editing. But I guess my point is if you like the phone for enough to want to buy it and raw photo editing is a thing, it sees that the OP should have looked for that from the beginning and not be shocked it's missing that feature 3 months after release in a forum post. Just my opinion

RAW photos

Hi all,
How does your low-light RAW photos looks like? Mine are awful. Is this normal? I'm running the latest update.

Did you adjust the settings? Doesn't look like. Also be sure to keep flash disabled

No, I didn't adjust anything. All on auto. Flash was off.
In daylight the RAW photos aren't sharp either.
In normal mode the photos are awesome.

Well that will contribute to your problem, you are basically just taking a normal photo. Adjust the settings and experiment.

Also RAW photos are really easy to post process with the right software. I remember on the EVO LTE (one x) we had a RAW camera mod that I used some really cool software to post process and took really great photos with.
The RAW photos right out of the box we're very dark and not polished at all. I had to do all of that after the shot was taken.
As far as I know this is the point of RAW photos. The aperture gathers as much data as possible, and the photographer post processes that data as they see fit. Now I'm no pro at all and I could be off base, but that's my basic understanding of it.
If I get some time I'll go lurking around the old android forum I was a MOD on and see what I can find. I had an old friend and mentor on there that we collaborated on quite a bit of this stuff.

Have to adjust settings for night shots, lower/adjust iso,lower/adjust shutter speed,lower/adjust lighting

It wasn't the Exo LTE, it was the M8 with the Ultra Pixel Camera everyone was bashing.
Here's the thread I was referring to with the camera mod and post processing software.: https://androidforums.com/threads/raw-camera.854215/
You'll have to sift through the thread for goodies and info. Early Mon was a god in the early HTC days, and directly involved with getting us HTC DEV for unlocking our bootloaders. I haven't messed with any of this stuff in years, don't have enough time.
