[Q] Camera exposure compensation does not work with 3rd party apps. - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

Hello, I am on ICS and have this problem since Gingerbread.
The exposure compensation function of the camera does not work with 3rd party applications.
When I try to change the exposure on a third party app (HDR Camera, camera zoom fx, procapture, vignette, camera fv-5) it always stays the same.
This is a pitty because I can't have HDR, bracketing etc, which would make for nice photos.
I've contacted Almalence (creators of HDR Camera) about this issue in the past but they couldn't help. They told me that not all Android devices give access to these controls and offered me a refund.
Since we have so many i9103 hackers here, I thought to ask if you have any experience with this issue. It should be a firmware and/or library thing.

Yes, I'm too facing the same issue. Can't change exposure value in other camera apps. I thought it was only me. But it seems this is universal.

Thanks, at least I know I am not alone. It is very difficult to find information about this problem for any device.
I can't understand why Samsung did such a bad work with the device. Especially in ICS there are standards they should follow for camera access in order to avoid such issues.

In CM actually, exposure doesn't work even with the default JB Gapps Camera app.

Fine, since this is a noticeable problem I'll add it to the bug report in CM10.1 as it's not working with that too. Lets see if Adam can some up with something.:fingers-crossed:

Or maybe he could at least give us some pointers, as to which files in the source code could be related with the problem.

Surprising fact is i am able to change exposure value.. Also tried in HDR+ app.. Worked for me.. No idea how.. And i am on Angeeks ICS..

Being able to change is one thing but does it make a difference. BTW which app are you using?

HDR camera+ always captures photos, but in order to work properly the 3 photos it takes should have very different brightness. Does it work that way in Angeeks ICS?

No, the exposure control is the bar on the bottom right, the one which goes [-2...-1...v...1...2].
When you move this bar, the brightness of the photo should change. Dark towards -2, bright towards 2.
It is also called exposure compensation.

If its like that, then its working for me. I m on CM10.1 with old kernel (comes with zip file). When I scroll towards +ve to -ve or vice versa then my the brightness of the photo changes. Dark towards -2, bright towards 2.:good:

Buddy can you also check the same with stock cam app?
Thanx!

Front facing camera

does the mesmerize have a front facing camera option, I see what looks like a prox censor, light sensor and a camera. Just wondering if it can be unlocked by a different rom
think theres only two sensors in front at least thats all that I see.
if you look at the one on the right it has two in it i beleive that is the light and prox but the left one looks like the evo / my touch 4g camaera
There is no front facing camera on the Galaxy S Mesmerize.
he is right about there being 3 things in the front though. wonder what the 3rd sensor is for?

It, along with every other variant, has been opened up and no there isn't a camera in there. There isn't a hole through the backing of the glass for it to even look through. It would be on the other side from the proximity sensor. There are posts out there where people have bought the camera and put it in. They even got it to work in most cases, but do you really want to take the chance of jacking your rear camera up or worse, your whole phone.

I don't think anyone has put the ffc in the mes, I don't think the i9000 camera would work anyhow. The physical arrangement on the front and rear camera are on the same side of (right side I believe) of the fascinate. Ours has opposing front and rear camera placement. So even if someone did try I think they would need to modify the camera to make it fit right =(

Yeah you would need to have tripod, or only shoot like stock panorama, only horizontaly. Its difficult not to change a position at least for a little which is enough for picture to be misplaced. Nice picture, btw, the 2nd one.

Hi,
Can you post the link of the camera app you installed on your device? ... I'm using a Nexus S and sometimes not all the pictures taken in Photo Sphere are being shown after the render is complete.. like I took a full 360 picture but i could only see half of it in the photo sphere viewer, the rest is black. Also i cannot apply the Tiny Planet effect.. the gallery FCs when i try to apply it.
Any guesses on how i can fix this?
Thanks

The black is when the pictures taken aren't good enough to stitch together... even on the image i posted in here, i took shots of the sky as well but it turned black because of lighting or bad pictures... not sure exactly but that's my best guess...

Does anyone have the *newest* version (ie after November 14th) of the camera and gallery app? The one that allows sharing to Google maps, and has the arrows for photosphere to show you where the closest blue dot is?
I too noticed that when i shot fully 360° shot, up-down, left-right, photosphere just doesnt include all photos. Like it says, "hey, thats too much photos, i will remove top row pictures and stitch the others". I dont have anything black etc, sphere just doesnt include images in stitching. It might be our phone is weak or something so it cant handle.

Yea that's what I meant. I meant black as in the pictures are not included in the photosphere viewer.
Well I don't think our phone is weak for that. Because it can take panorama pics very easily, and it probably captures more photos than photosphere before stitching them all together.
I think it could simply be a compatibility issue, since the rendering bugs sometimes.
Also, did you guys manage to fix the Tiny Planet effect FC?

[APP] LG Camera App for all Sammy Roms

Hi,
I make my presence again with the LG Camera App for all roms. It was not my work. All credits go to sefnap for modding the LG Camera app to work on all roms. It also has a lot of features like the Lenovo Camera App and one specialty is that this app has video light functionality too. Has a minor bug that the dual camera doesn't work but rest seems fine here. Hope you enjoy

From what i read even on LG G2 dual camera doesnt work for some (i do not need it anyway).
But Are magically 9 focus points working on this? Sorry for asking - i sold my S4 2 months ago, was waiting for LG G2 but now after i read a lot of things about G2 i finally decided to get S4 back.
Will definitelly try this out after my new S4 lands in - i only sold previous S4 because a lot of bad pics cause of bad focusing, but from what i saw the diff from G2s camera is not that much extraordinary than S4s. My personal experience with G2 was that it has batter pics when tapping the focus points on the screen to focus and then shoot - but generally for taking pics with AF was "same" result as S4.

Hi Guys,
I have compiled the latest LGCamera App and its supporting depedancy libraries to make it work on Android 4.3 General ALL and i9500/i9505. This is a tested package and All the features are working as expected. Device to Device features might work or might not work.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_CWM" to be Flashed from CWM recovery.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_MANUAL" to be extracted to '/system' and manually set permissions to '0.0' (root:root) and '644' (rw-r-r). You might want to use "Root Explorer" to achieve this or your prefered explorer which has root capability.
NOTE: Before doing any modification to your device, please Remember to take Backup for your Device through CWM. Although i have tested this package thoroughly and found no issues BUT I am not responsible for any issues which might arise.

New Official Google Camera

So just in case not everyone follows The Droid Life, I thought I'd post the new Camera App since photography quality seems to be one of biggest aspects of the phone people chase.
Let's see how it stacks against our Generous Dev's Xdabbed's and Jishnu's modified camera apps that they have done wonders with. I don't know if it'll be of any use to us since they've been pushing the stock app to the max, but maybe it's worth giving a try for UI experience.
You need to be on Android 4.4+
Google Cam APK
Here's the DL overview of it. Tour
I myself don't think it will compare with the quality and feature's Xdabbed has packed into his but new stock options are always nice.
Update: Ok so I've done my first comparison. Both at 13MP, Med/Low Lighting, and forced flash with a steady arm.

Google Cam:

Strange, but to me the google cam looks a alot sharper quality as per the rug and cat fur. The colors also look deeper i.e. the pink leopard spots. I'll have to play around more
Update 2: So I believe Google's Cam takes amazing pictures in ideal lighting and photo conditions, but Xdab's really strives at being a more versatile photo taker when it comes to other conditions such as low light.
Yeah, I saw this on D-L also. So far I am very impressed and happy to have Photo-sphere back in the arsenal.
One thing I want to try and do is hack the app to either add a 10Mwide [16:9] option or change the parameters on the 7.7M option to be the 10Mwide format that is available on the stock LG camera. Which is the one i use the most and allows for the full screen view w/ semi-transparent shutter button.
played around for a while. could not get photo sphere to work correctly. blur effect is good. images to me don't appear to be any better than lg stock camera app. certainly not many filters/effects etc. thanks for the download thought.

this is awesome. i love the blur effect. kinda like the M8 instead of having 2 camersa you raise the camera a bit and it takes another shot to create the depth of field effect.GENIUS!
I'm gonna play around with this a little more, but I actually think this might be a little sharper than X's mod.

The Google cam does look more contrast-y in the comparison pics.
Photosphere worked fine for me. LG gallery displays 3d panorama ok but Google gallery is better.

In some phones the capture button is transparent. Why in the g2 is not and how can I get it to be transparent? I have cm11 with gapps but the camera app in the play store didn't let me update but install.
This new google cam it is not so good in low light scenes...
Let's try to take some pics in dark scenes, you can notice that it is not able to focus using the flash led while stock/modded lg cam yes.
i dont like how small the pictures come out.
I love it, nice for custom roms!
Its really just meant for being simple and taking quick shots without cumbersome load times for instance like the HDR mode is super quick. I'm sure with more app updates on the way this camera app will have good potential
Low light shot.. first is x's camera, second is Google.

Has anyone figured out how to change the settings so that you can use zoom?
Does anyone know how to mute the shutter on the Google cam? Very annoying.

...but you do when your phones volume is on. My stock camera does not make a sound when my volume is on.
Shutter sound does not go away no matter what volume level. LS980 Sprint variant

[16th April | New Google Camera App]

Update Today, apparently it works on other devices also. I don't have an M8 so cannot check but it may work on custom ROMs, maybe even Sense and it should work on GPE, some niceness added.
Try it and have fun.

Do you guys have a fully black or semi-transparent box around the shutter button on the new camera?

Yeah it's part of the design, it's the same on the Nexus also.

I have the N5 mate, and it's fully black too, but someone on another forum posted a pick of their camera from a GPE M8 and it's semi-transparent

Yeah just seen your post over on the N5 forum. Not sure why it's different, possible the GPE m8 changes it slightly for whatever reason ?

Strange isn't it! You'd assume it's the same apk coming from Google Play, so must be something to do with the phone itself.
The GPE M8 is still HTC framework underneath right... just missing Sense and a few other HTC bells and whistles?

That's me, it's semi transparent in camera mode. Also, when I take a photo, the photo is the size of the whole viewfinder including the semi transparent part.

What ROM are you using, and what's the build number on your camera app?

Same build number here.
Strange, must just be something to do with our different phones rather than the app in that case.
I have a black bar around the edges of the Viewfinder. Anyone noticed the same?

Yep and the black edges are very bothering
Gesendet von meinem HTC One M8 Google Play Edition
Installed on an M7 running an M8 Sense 6 port (InsertCoin) and there's no black edges - the viewfinder is the full screen and the shutter area is semi transparent. I like the fact that when you switch to video mode and you're in portrait view there's a constant icon telling you to rotate the camera (which does go away if you start recording). Google finally trying to kill off portrait videos - good for them! haha
IMO, the Google Camera App does produce a greenish tint on the M8, at least in the refocus mode after you refocused a little and let it render.
Already set the quality to high quality, but well, tinting is still there. Its not really heavy tinting, but enough to annoy me.
Normal photo mode seems fine so far, even tho it doesnt produce as good colors as the htc camera app.
Nevertheless, the new refocus tech is pretty logical and on still elements pretty powerful. I cant see it really useful for quick snaps or faster moving objects since it requires careful and steady movements.
Really hope that HTC improves the stock HTC camera app to let us adjust blur levels with increased accuracy on the captured image itself. the fail rate on ufocus sadly is pretty high still.
EDIT: I attached 2 images to show the green tint. First one is the shot right after i took it. second one is after refocusing. as you can see, there is a significant tint after processing. I even have the impression the processed image is now lower quality than before.
