camera?

ok so my girl has the htc vivid on sense 3.6 and ics and i have the sensation with arhd and camera mod 1.5.
these phones say they have the same camera but her camera is sooooooo much better, more clear, more colorful, and focuses better. also when comparing video cameras my phone seems much farther zoomed in when neither cameras are zoomed in. how is this possible? she is not rooted all stock.

guess thats the mod u installed + all things she has else: stock rom ics sense 3.6 wich uses its buildin camera and not a mod wich could make it better, otherwise use her phone to record, try a stock rom to compare the real thing. or edit the camera options in camera app itself to make it more colourfull

i have compared on different roms with and without mods to the same result i just dont understand as they both claim they have the same camera.

sadly, no. there is a Camera apk to flash to have the same resolution photos as Sense, but the UI will still be the same. I included it in a different thread if you would like to give it a shot(not my work tho)
or you could try out Virtuous Inquisition. Its basically a Sense rom, de-Sensed, with AOSP added throughout. but it does keep some functions like the camera and others I forgot

I'm not sure I understand your question right, but if you're asking whether the sense 3.6 camera can be used for a sense 4 Rom then I'm afraid the answer is no as far as my knowledge goes... framework dependencies prohibit that kind of compatibility, I think.
I do agree with you that the sense 3.x camera is much better than the 4 one.
Cheers.

If that is possible, then that will be great news, means someone could even try to port Sense 3.6 camera into AOSP roms.. I don't like the ICS camera, and prefer Sense 3.6 camera (not 4.0).. But I keep coming back to vanilla build after a few months on it.. Can't seem to find a good excuse to go back to sense 3.6 other than the camera (which obviously is not enough to make me come back)..

[Q] is it possible to get the htc camera app?

I noticed that the stock ROM contains the ability to take HDR images but I haven't found a stock ROM that has that same feature. Does anyone know if such an app exists? Thanks

All of the Sense ROMs have the same function...

So lemme get this clear coz I was wondering about this. If I get a non-sense ROM I can get back the camera nicely installed and potentially any other Sense apps I like?

no

No. Sense ROMs are Sense ROMs. Like the name says. If you get a non-sense ROM, like AOKP or CM, you don't get any Sense apps.

To clarify the above.. The Sense apps don't work without all the behind-the-scenes stuff Sense roms have, including Rosie.
The Sense-based MIUI is a pretty good compromise, in my opinion. Been using it for a bit.. much more stable than the AOSP MIUI

Does it in anyway reduce the quality of the camera to not use a sense-app or will hdr app provide similar quality?

Forgot to mention that the Sense-based MIUI uses the Sense camera with all functions working.
As for other apps.. I've tried four or five different HDR apps and have had the best results with Pro HDR out of the ones I've tried. The Sense app is a close second.. partly because it allows widescreen HDR pics.
And as for quality..I myself haven't noticed much difference in quality with other apps, since it's basically still using the same hardware... I use Camera360 a lot and am not disappointed. I think the advantage of the Sense app is the high burst rate you can get out of it. And the panorama mode is better than almost every other pano app I've tried.. except one (but only because that one app allows 360 degree panoramic)

Camera: CM10 vs 4.0 Sense stock

Hallo guys,
I read on the CM10 dev thread that the camera in that rom isn't as good as the 4.0 Sense stock camera. Can anybody please explain what exactly is the difference between those two camera apps in terms of picture quality, focusing, shutter, velocity and video recording? And why is it not possible to make the camera as good as it is on the stock rom?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
br3ak

First of all, im not a developer but ive noticed that the cm10 camera loses all the sense software like continuous shutter and shooting photos while recording. Moreover, colors seem to have better contrast and saturation with sense. Can anyone else confirm this?

I think the sense cam makes really good pictures. I use it for snapshots in holidays aswell. I don't wanna miss the good cam, That's why I hesitate to switch to CM10.

Yeah it's great and if you dont wanna lose the cam it may be best to stay on sense till we get the official jb update

I'm no developer too, so i could be wrong.
But as far as i know, this phone has a dedicated chip called 'ImageSense' powering the camera.
So far only the Sense camera app is able to fully utilize this chip, and thus having many features which are not available on AOSP rom's camera app.
As for the AOSP roms, the devs are able to get the camera working, but not able to fully utilise the ImageSense chip.
As for porting the Sense camera app to AOSP roms, i think it is close to impossible because of some framework issue which means the sense camera app only can run on sense roms.
Please correct me if im wrong.

From what I remember reading, HTC also didn't supply the drivers to the ImageSense chip, so it couldn't be integrated into AOSP ROMs. Hence, only Sense based ROMs which already have the drivers built in can fully utilise the ImageSense chip.
