I hope somone can compare the camera quality of both the modded stock and the 2.2.1 freeX10 app.
I would have done it myself but i reaply not that good, it seems that i have really shaky hands.
Also, if somone can clarify if the FreeX10 camera app and for example MIUI camera app in wolfbreak's CM rom ( which is based on freeX10 as far as i know ) give the same quality ?
Any opinions are welcomed
I was about to post this in the appropriate thread but since your asking I actually ran a few tests myself today....to my surprise the free x10 beta 4 camera app came out noticeably better. Something im gonna ask 28spawn to look into. I thought for sure his mod would be better, but it absolutely wasn't. Gonna run more tests again tomorrow, but I think I already know what one will win.

I took a look on what you posted there, glad that you did.
For me i was looking on photos taken with both the MIUI and the stock mod but really couldn't decide which are better -.-'
Also, did you notice the shutter speed or thats placebo ?

What i strongly noticed between the 2 camera apps was the free x10 focused better on the surrounding picture...where in comparission to the stock camera mod which shows signs of trouble focusing.
I can upload pictures for you....the freex10 camera also brings out more natural light when taken under low light....with the stock mod i kept getting a slight pink tinge.
The difference between the pictures is noticeable.

"Surrounding picture" - do you mean background on the picture or landscape(natute etc)?

What I meant was the entire picture in whole. The free x10 camera app focused better on everything within the entire picture....where as the stock camera mod showed signs of trouble. I did tests in low light (in my house) and tests outside in daylight. Out of about 15 comparisons the stock camera mod came out better twice....but only focused better....those two times the free x10 camera app still displayed better color (more natural).
Now I just made another discovery...i flashed my phone with seus tonight....and I used the default se camera on my phone (.435 firmware) against my wifes x10 using v8 of the stock modded camera (also .435) and the se default came out better 3 of the 4 tests. The one pic where the modded camera focused better the default se camera app still produced better color.
Before .435 firmware came out the mod was clearly better...but now in sticking to the default se camera as this mod isn't producing better results with the .435 firmware.
When I compare all camera apps (se stock .435, .435 modded app, vignette paid, free x10 beta 4) the free x10 beta 4 is the winner hands down of all of them. I was shocked with the images it produces.
@28spawn: if you happen to read this don't take offence please...i still appreciate your work. But I've ran enough tests the last few days to clearly see which camera apps produce the best results.

Im a fan to....but since the .435 firmware I was skeptical with the mod. That's why the last few days I have been going crazy comparing camera apps. I think 28spawn can fix this, but he needs to look closer at what's going on in .435 firmware.

Here's a comparison I did down in my gamesroom in my basement. Notice the color that comes from the modded camera....its awful. Both cameras were on the exact same settings..ev, white balance, metering, etc etc.
first THX for the pictures, second for the comparison its better to compare pictures in full resolution and with good light conditions...the yellow tint can be removed by software, but im always interested in overal detail and good focus instead of colours that can by adjust in e.g. photoshop

I compare pictures in good light and low light....those pictures were obviously low light...but I don't want to have to mess around with a photo editing program all the time just to get a better picture you know? And im sure most people would agree. I do compare at full resolutions...and also I zoom in on certain areas and compare that as well. The photos I posted were just to show the bad color im getting from the modded app....almost a sepia effect lol. Anyways, tomorrow (today) since I haven't been to bed yet lol I will be comparing these two apps (mod vs se stock) in good lighting conditions.
Did you compare any yet?

OK I have no problem to run all photos throught software even automatic contrast/levels make a good job and its fast and can be done automatically (Xnview) anyways both of us prefer different photos properties as I said for me is sharpness and detail the most important
So the stock camera app + the lines in the build.prop for better HD videos is the best solution for 2.1?
I'll go back to the stock app later, but can't make much tests...

Btw, are you bluechip on youtube with the white and black X10 and the tutorials?

@ Mr. Patchy Patch: So 1st pic of the gameroom is unmodded stock 2.1 and 2nd is modded v8? Mind posting a comparison shot with the Free x10 beta 4 cam you said was best?
Also, are you using multi-auto focus or infinity focus with the 2.1 cam(s)? If not, you'll notice much better background detail using one of those over single auto focus.
*Edit- I am still convinced that video and focus have improved in the modded camcorder regardless of the build.prop additions. I take more vids than pics, so sticking w/ v8 for now...

v8 modded apk is much much better, imho. Look at my post here to see the comparison. I took those photos with touch capture mode, because that is the mode I use the most. Most of the times, I do not care about the background, I just want to focus on one item. Stock camera app just can't focus! But with v8 mod, it looks really good.

I was just using single auto focus for both. Ill give multi auto focus a try.
Im gonna take some more tests in a bit with a nice bright sky outside.

Here's a couple more comparisons between V8 mod and stock .435.
There is no way you that the mod is taking better pictures.
by the way for both of these I used multi auto focus on both phones like someone suggested to me.
Im gonna go back to V7 just for the hell of it...I know its supposed to be the same, but Im gonna check it out anyways and see if there is any difference.
I would also be delighted to see more results, i have not yet tried 28Spawn Mod, but loved the idea of it - so i have d/l it and am just trying to find time (still trying to find a preferred ROM!!)
I must say - overall i was totally disappointed with x10's camera - when i decided to take the x10i I had no experience with any smartphones, nor had i read any forums (noobisms) but i chose x10i over htcHD - imagin my dissapointment when i found out the camera had a light - instead of a flash - and seemed to take worse pictures that my wife's htc desire (5.1 camera) see here
Alright, I just flashed the latest and greatest Bali kernel to my phone, and noticed that when I take a video with the camcorder at any resolution i get an audio lag on play back in the stock video player and double twist. When I play them on my computer or upload them to Youtube, the lag is gone.
Curiously, I had this problem before I flashed the kernel, but all the videos I had prior to the flashing are now fixed in that respect. The only difference is I can see and hear the difference while the video is recording.
I've seen posts about this for the I9000 as well as other phones, but none for this specific phone, on top of there being virtually no known fix to my knowledge. I would really appreciate any insight on this topic. I know it isn't being caused by the kernel. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
I also get that problem but i think i also noticed that problem with stock...my brother's Vibrant also had that problem on stock.. idk why they have that issue
Well I am going to flash a rom on here tonight and see if that yields any results.

try going into cwm --> advanced --> fix permissions. if not. look into icbnb or the audiophile roms. they have a fix for 1080p recording.
Yea..some roms dont have the audio lag..abd audiophile doesnt have 1080p recording yet

Well I just got around to flashing ICBINB with theme. Still got the problem. Thanks for the tips Jager, but something is still up. :\
On a happier note, I would like to thank everyone who develops on this phone. I couldn't be happier with ICBINB, and the honeycomb theme for that matter. It's just wonderful.
Keep up the good work.

No rush Raver.
but alas, double twist has been uninstalled. I even tried a few players from the market to no avail. Thanks though.
I'm am curious to know if this miracle of 1080 on our phones would fix such a problem. I bid you good luck on your endeavors Mr. Raver. As for me, I shall try to dig deeper into this problem.
Hi guys
I used to have SGS i9000 before i bought SGS 4G. I love our incredible ROMs and I've managed to do things I didn't do with the i9000.
One thing that is always the same on all ROMs i tried here is the poor camera results.
On the i9000 I videotaped a concert in the dark on HD and the result was crispy HD video regardless of the lack of flash.
I also took good quality still images on the spot.
On the SGS 4G on all ROMs i get louzy unfocused blured videos and it takes ages to take a poor still image.
This is unclear since both models have the same 5MP camera.
My wife's SGS 4G is the same as mine, so it's not a specific phone problem.
I'd be glad to hear and read your insights regarding this issue. I know dsexton did some camera tweaking but i haven't tried it. I'm on Valhalla final now.
Thanks.

My camera is pretty good at taking still pictures, video quality on the other hand is kinda iffy. In my opinion, our camera is somewhat better than most 5MP cameras out there. Then again, it's just my opinion.

Mine works well for both still pictures & video. low light sucks due to lack of a flash but otherwise I can't complain.

I am on Octane-V3.0 XPLOD and the tweaks worked for me on the rom.
Hello, I am using cm7 the photos in the gallary will no longer take that time to focus and clear up. They stay pixelated. I updated my gallary.apk to a newer version and I am fairly positive this is the culprit. Also the order of my photos has been reversed chronologically. Does anyone know of any fixes or where i can find another gallery.apk that works well.
Thank you!

what would the gallery have to do with how the camera takes photos? I've never used CM7 strictly just ROMs using CM7 as a base but if the cameras are the same, make sure in the settings you have either pre-focus turned on or long focus turned on.
Its nothing to do with the camera. It is when I bring up an image in my gallery or browsing the web they no longer autofocus with the full version of the image.

The LG G2X has an 8M-pixel camera and if you know how t o use it, it can take some fantastic pictures.
I thought I would start this thread to discuss using the G2X camera to take the best photos and videos.
First, you can see my configuration in my signature. I use the DroidWall firewall to block network access to anything that does not need network access. This includes cameras, stand-alone eBooks, the Android calendar, games, and lots more.
The camera drivers are in the kernel so your choice of kernel may affect the quality of pictures.
After comparing lots of cameras I've been using the LG Camera Pro app. It's a paid app but it's worth it. You can also get the free version which has the same functionality except it's missing some JPEG resolutions.
Nice thing about LG Camera is you can easily adjust the exposure compensation so in a dark environment you can lighten the picture and still get a terrific photo. I get the best picture by pressing the Search button (focus) then take a picture.
Autofocus on the G2X with the Trinity kernel takes a long three seconds to take a picture, which is very bad.
Video performance is great, except that you can't zoom while taking a video. That is also a function of the drivers in the kernel.
Any other experiences or advice anyone wants to share on the G2X camera?
I use cm7 camera, exposure is easy to change (usually use it at +1). I'll upload my best pic later.
