hello everyone. good day to all of you.
phone: samsung s+ i9001
ROM: CyanogenMod 10 by ivendor - Alpha 6
there's a problem i am facing that is quite troublesome.
forgive me if i could not explain this matter in a clearer manner but i'll try..
after taking the first picture, the picture taken will show (preview? and some apps do ask an option to save or discard it) and usually by clicking the 'back' button, the camera app will go back to its shooting mode to capture another picture.
problem with my camera apps is that after clicking 'back', it will not go back go its shooting mode! instead, it still shows the first picture taken and when i try to tap the screen to focus, it will not focus as the previous picture is still there.
camera apps that i've tried: Camera ZOOM FX, lgCamera, Camera FV-5, and. Pro HDR Camera.
only Fast Burst Camera able to go back to its shooting mode after the first taken picture. but the quality is not as good as the above apps.
help please? and thank you.
hello.
haven't been on this site for quite some time, but i am familiar with using custom roms.
i'm using an htc desire s with android 4.0.4, stock rom from htc site.
there are certain things i like about ICS, and other things that simply boggle me.
i've been considering using a custom rom again, but i was hoping someone could shed some light on specific features/functions.
in other words, i would be changing to a custom rom if one is available that has these features, otherwise i'll just leave it alone.
firstly: the camera.
when trying to take up-close photos (macro), the camera will attempt to focus, will succeed, then quickly snap back to being blurry. this happens less with "auto focus" turned off, but it's still frustrating (i can see the hardware moving the camera focus to where i want it, but i can't keep it there). turning on the Scene called "close up" will allow the hardware to stay in the focused range, where i want it, but it overrides the white balance, such that i can't adjust the white balance any more, and the colour is always -always- different from the colour settings in the "auto" Scene setting. very frustrating indeed.
that's problem one.
but the bigger problem (with the camera) is:
when taking a photo where a flash is required/desired (in low lighting), i have to take many -many- photos before i happen to roll the dice and get one in focus. basically, holding up the camera to the darkened scene, the screen is mostly dark. i can take a photo with the flash, but the camera uses the same moment of flash to implement the focus, which is essentially entirely useless. in other words: dark scene, dark screen, flash ready, click to take a photo, flashtrytofocustakepicture = blurry picture. the picture only turns out well if the focus happens to catch in just the right way at the right time.
in contrast, while the stock camera app behaves this way, when i use google goggles, the camera behaves differently. there is a simple button which turns the led light on and off BEFORE taking a picture, which means the focus can function normally on a fully lit scene and then a picture can be taken, in focus. funny thing about that: the photo result that shows as a preview (immediately after snapping a photo in google goggles) is the desired photo, however it is not the photo that the app recognises nor which is saved on the sd card. anyhow, that's a different issue.
the point is: it seems clear to me that the hardware is capable, and the software is capable, but they have not been married correctly in 4.0.4.
would anyone be able to confirm whether another rom or camera app has the macro and light-before-focus capabilities described above?
i have some other questions about the way text copy and paste is implimented, but i'll just stick with the camera question for now.
thanks in advance for any information.
I'm experiencing problem with my Xiaomi MI4 front camera. Everytime I capture a video from front camera, the resulting video is flipped horizontally. But capturing images from front camera just works fine, though rarely it flips image too, that happens cause of the angle we hold the camera to take the picture. And that can be fixed with apps like Pixlr. But the video...it really sucks. It gets flipped every f**king time, doesn't matter what the capturing angle has been. Please someone help fixing this bug!!!
Thanks in advance. ?
I have this amazing device since last month and as I travel a lot I'm facing a strange issue with the selfie camera. When you take a photo with the front camera you can't select the zone to focus and so in places with a lot of light my photos resulted to be too overexposed with the background that was really difficult to see. Is there any solution with the stock camera app?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the fron cam has fixed focus so you can't change it manually. Try moving your hand and re positioning the camera. That generally helps me in fixing the exposure to light.
The images taken with the main camera app get ****ed up - they become cropped in a weird way or the colors change, or both.
The weird part is that it might not happen immediately upon taking a picture. It may be OK at first, but after a couple hours, the problem appears. It doesn't happen with every image and it doesn't happen with other camera apps or instagram/snapchat camera, but the quality of pictures taken with the main camera app is unmatched.
I attached some sample images. How could I resolve this? I'm on BlackDiamond ROM, if it matters.
