On my old Omnia the camera could record slow motion video (at a much reduced resolution) which was quite cool and worked reasonably well in good light. Hardware wise the camera on that phone was inferior to the Nexus so I imagine it just needs software to make it happen.
Anyone know of an app that can do this, or a camera mod?
The Omnia can record in slow motion because it can record and 100+ frames per second. This is a hardware+software feature. I don't think the N1 camera can support 100+ fps recording (but I cud be wrong). And there is no app or mod available to try out this...
what settings do u like most? and what produce best quality? in my experience scn auto, and normal single focus with mettering turned to average. i'm camera phone freak and i wish the camera was a bit better especialy inside. still cant find ideal settings for super quallity pictures, dont use image stalib. because is to slow, and blurry
try Vignette app... you can find the demo on the market.
check this post to see why.
Hello.
First of all, my compliments to everone that makes great things like custom roms, mods, and so.
I'd like to know if is there a way to mod/improve/change the camera app, so the shutter speed can be set.
Thanks.
Hello again. It seems this thread gained some interest, but no one could give an answer. What I asked was if is there any way to hack, develop, activate improved settings for htc chacha camera.
Videos are saved in 3gp format. Is there any way to make camera app to save them as mp4?
Pictures get blurry if the subject moves quickly, or you are not steady when shooting. Is there any way to set the shutter speed?
I don't know if the camera app can be disassembled or something, and hacked into make that things.
Maybe the camera app can be ported from another model that uses the same camera model, and can do that.
I asked HTC about this, and they answered "latest 2.3.5 version has many improvements", but none about the camera...
The camera is way better than Wildfire, which my wife owns, but I think it can be even better if the camera app is up to it.
Thanks for reading.
The big question revolving around this issue is if the cameras themselves are the same between the phones. It's not only the camera.apk that's connecting them, it's the hardware as well. Yes, there could be a possibility that the cameras are the same, between ChaCha and Wildfire (for example), but at the same time the proc or image sensor might be of a newer generation. Unfortunately I have no hardware specs on this, if anyone knows it would be nice to know.
Question: Do you know of any phone that has advanced settings inside the Camera.apk that allows you to set shutter speed? Would be interesting to compare them a bit.
In the camera.parameters public class there is a setting called scene_mode_sports that seems to be the only way to set a faster shutter speed.
I can't see it in my HTC Chacha/Status, and even lgcamera hasn't that option in the menu.
There is a profile.xml file that sets the limitations of the camera, but it seems people hack it to allow the camera to record movies in higher resolutions, because many times the limitations are imposed by the manufacturer and not the hardware.
Also, hacking the firmware and/or the drivers of a camera would allow to gain the full features of it.
This reminds me of people that upgraded the Nokia N900 to allow it to record movies in 720p, just by replacing binary files in the phone.
Is there an app that tells you what exactly hardware your phone has, and such drivers or modules it uses?
Thanks all.
Hello all.
I'm reviving this with some news. The camera module the ChaCha uses is a Samsung s5k4e1gx (http://www.samsung.com/global/busin...t/cmos-imaging/detail?productId=5622&iaId=220), the same found in several other HTC models: HTC Desire Z, HTC Mini and others.
It seems that in the Desire Z this camera is able to record 720p video.
I think this is determined by the firmware loaded for the camera, and the app itself.
I'd like to know if it's possible to port change the original ChaCha camera related modules and firmware from the Desire Z ones, so the camera can get taht 720p video shooting.
Also, I'm searching for a way to disable the auto light metering so a manual can be set. There are many 'better camera' apps in the market but they all seem to improve the original camera app itself, instead of getting the most of the actual camera sensor.
Thanks all.
Hey guys,
What could be the Best camera settings for capturing images/Full HD videos at night in average light...???
I found that in Automatic Mode,not satisfied results...even in day low light pictures gets little blurs in Photo...
Thnx in advance...:good::good::good:
I know the S7 Camera is really good. But we heared that are different Sensors Samsung used in their Phones. What do you think guys,we need a Camera Mod to get more stunning Pictures and Videos or is the Camera that comes with S7 enough for you ?
The stock camera is the best I've had in a cell phone. If I need better I get out my real camera, a Canon 7D.
The phone is for snapshots, the camera is for the real photographs.
A mod for increased video bitrates is always welcome, samsung default values are not great. But for this, we need to wait an apktool version working with samsung marshmallow apk.
