Milestone 2 A953 CM9 Camera issue - Droid 2 Global General

Hello, I'm having some problem with my MS2, I installed the latest CM9, with him came a camera app different from the original that does not offer me the option of photos 5mp wide, it bothered me but I preferred to ignore it, but now I'm experiencing a problem with an application of photo filters called Camaringo.
When this application opens it by any pattern tries to fill the whole screen of my MS2, which would require a 16:9 resolution, but it seems that my MS2 is limited to 4:3 resolution, so photos taken with Camaringo are stretched sides.
What can I do to solve this problem of resolution of the camera?

Milestone 2 differs from the DROID2 GLOBAL hardware-wise. I'm not sure you chose the right forum section to post your question.

Oh, sorry, I thought they were the same device with different names.
someone could move the topic to correct section of the forum?

Milestone 2 is the same as Droid 2, but this section is for Droid 2 Global, which has little different HW specs.

It's not really the same. Apart from supporting GSM instead of CDMA, Milestone 2 supports 720p video recording.

I "solved" my problem, I installed CM10, he may not be able to take pictures in 5mp 16:9, but no more problems with 3rd applications to take pictures. The maximum resolution is 404p filming unfortunately.
The problem with CM9 and CM10 still with DLNA does not work.
As I opened this topic in the wrong place, if any admin want to close or move, after I resolved my problem, but the problem with the camera still in CM9.

"Filmic Pro" like video recording apps on Android...

I have Galaxy S2 and as everyone knows its camera is beast but sadly we can't see its own real performance. Android market has full of games and programs so android is not crawling anymore but there is no any video recording program like iphone's "filmic pro" which have 48 mb/s video bitrate & exposure lock & manual focus etc... Is it so hard to do? We still working camera hacking which is changing only video/audio bitrates and its just peak to 30 mb/s but its quality is still not enough. We need an app! Don't you think it is?
i like to know this to... for SG4T
Agreed, anyone??! I'm looking for it, and still no solution. Especially for manual focus while shooting video.
Agree with you guys! I really miss an app like filmpic pro. It's able to shoot with 24 fps what I really miss from available android camera apps.
Check this out!!!!

I suggest you to try lgCamera app. It is the best video recording app for Android. u can set video framerate to 60 and video bitrate upto 48Mbit.
I REALLY LOVE THIS APP!!!

Thanks I already use that but exposure lock and fps features are not working,(at least for me) In this case, it has focus problems while you tap the record button. (it leaves focused position to zero suddenly) Plus, image quality is not quite enough even on 50mb bitrate etc... I'm wondering, they were saying exposure lock comes with ICS a long time ago but why are we still waiting for it?

Where do you found this info? I asked them about that but they never replied to me so I think they will never release this product for android. By the way, android is not like ios and iphone, there is a lot of brand and models which is different hardwares for android phones. I guess its hard to handle that to get this product work on every android phones.

Oh yes thanks but as I understand that topic, one day if FilmicPro will release an app for another device except Ipad or Iphone, it will be for a specific device (just galaxy s4, lumia 920 or whatever) not all android phones or windows phones. Thats sad.
does anyone have patched version of filmic pro 6.0..?

camera upgrade possible?

This device being easy to get into:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+10.1+Teardown/10144/1
I wonder if anyone has thought of upgrading the camera to something like the Galaxy S3 8mp variety, may have a look into this unless anyone else has already?

Pimp my rom/your rom has a feature to change resolution to 8mp. I don't know if this works for 10.1 though and it doesn't add 1080p video recording.

Cheers, thanks for the info, although If the lens / sensor combination is inferior on the 10.1 note compared to the galaxy S3 then there wouldn't be any point upping the resolution, if anything it may make the image worse as it will just be upscaling.
I had a look round for a compatible alternative camera module but found nothing, I was hoping the one used was common to other devices but that isn't the case.
I wonder if its possible to add a 3G module with sim slot
Why didn't you just buy the 3g variant?

Early camera test X Play vs Galaxy S6

the guys at mobilesyrup have done a nice shootout with the 2 cameras -- and the results are good, imo, on the X Play side.
indeed, it could've been better with an improved camera app from Motorola, but that could come in a later update. for now, all I can say, that for half the price of a S6/Edge, the Moto X Play does pretty well on the camera sector. so, can't wait for my order to arrive!
here is the link: http://mobilesyrup.com/2015/08/15/camera-shootout-moto-x-play-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6/
Nice, but my first impression using Moto X play camera is that, you still feel like using a motorola camera, not in a good way. Even with the previous generation moto x, i could take some good shot, but you know, still a little slow to focus, a slow starting camera. I'm coming from a Galaxy S6 edge, and i still have my moto x 2gen and Droid Turbo. I will make some everyday random shots and check the results.
Does anyone know if the X play supports camera2 api? a lot of these points will be moot for us that are more serious photographers if we can shoot .dng files

I have the Nexus 5 and I use Camera FV-5 app to take RAW pictures. I just got the Moto X Play and when I installed Camera FV-5, it says that the device isn't compatible to take RAW photos. I have read somewhere (possibly on XDA) that it could be a software thing and Motorola just needs to enable it.

Good alternatives for the stock camera?

Hello, I've recently got my MI4 LTE and flashed lineage OS, so far so good. I love how much extra storage I could get out of it, especially since I'm only using the 16gb variant. Anyways, the only thing I miss is the stock cam for the MIUI. I don't really record much in UHD, but I do use the front camera a lot for short vlogs, but the Lineage Stock OS only gives me a max resolution of 720p. Do you guys have any alternatives for the stock MIUI camera on Lineage? Or is there a way to bypass the resolution and enable 1080p video recording?
P.S. I'd like to ask the mods to move the thread to the appropriate section if necessary, I just found out about the themes/app section just now.

Question GCam for Xperia 5 III?

Ive always wanted to try GCam and see if its all the hype it says it is.
Is there a modded version out for the Xperia 5 III? Thanks
None of previous Xperia (for the last 3 generations at least) flagship smartphone had working Gcam. Suggest this one will be no different.
bruh how is that even possible
I've been playing with one on my 5 ii, and the results are pretty good. Not as great as I expected, but that doesn't surprise me. The Sony hardware is not optimized to work with the software, and you could probably tweak the algorithms to make it work better with the Sony hardware. But, I don't have time to tweak the hundreds of settings in the GCAM mods to see what works best.
Where you have:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
It's not close to perfect, but it works on all 3 rear cameras.
Night mode doesn't work very well because Sony only exposes expores up to 1s for external apps, and the GCam crashes when tries to use more than 1s to capture more light.

Sorry, for that.
This site is a place where most of GCam mods are posted, for multiple devices and from multiple Devs, instead of even sketchier telegram groups.
The link in question I posted is from bsg19071979 here on XDA.

The biggest difference I can see, is in low light scenes, the google camera takes much better photos, and removes almost all the noise without losing to much detail.
In cases that the Xperia Camera clips the background, the Gcam resolves some detail in the clouds for example.
Overall I don't recommend it.
- Auto focus is it or miss.
- Touch to focus freezes the viewport.
- Video recording doesn't work.
- Selfie camera doesn't work because Sony uses a cheap Samsung sensor.
- Night mode doesn't work properly because Sony doesn't expose all the camera API properties.
- Out of the box the photos are a bit under saturated.
The diferent versions don't make any diffence in the case of the Xperia 5 III, that I know off.
Im my hold phone I needed a camera with a specific name to allow the google camera to access all the camera features in original ROM. More or less what sony does with the creator' color profile for specific apps.
and again.... which version u using....therea6 different.!
i tried the first 3 from the list and i don't like there results at all.!

I'm using rev X of the one ending in MGC. It runs okay. A little sluggish, but I don't have crashes. I did find a profile on the web and loaded it. GCAM on the Xperia cameras is a tool, but not a perfect one. I've learned from experimentation what areas it does well and what times it doesn't. I find it hard to say if it's better or worse than the stock app because it is situation dependent. If you're looking for something that you can replace the stock app with, your expectations will not be met. However, if you're looking for an app that does better in many low light situations where you have to shoot handheld, then it will give you capability you don't have with the stock app.

Disagree with X 5 III taking better photos than Pixel 5. I wish it was true so then it would be no need in Gcam. X 5 III takes good enough photos in perfect light conditions only. That's just my experience (with X 1 III though).

I don't like the quality output straight out of camera. Photos come out underexposed, out of focus, lack of clarity and lack of HDR too often.

This is exactly what I did! I 'm really happy that I was able to get rid of that overpriced, overhyped device. Certainly it is not worth even $800 to my opinion. Just because of underwhelming camera performance alone.
I currently have a Pixel 4a and an Xperia 5 iii. The difference in low light scenes is astonishingly in the Pixel's favor. During the day I really like the Xperia's colors and having multiple zoom levels is great too. But in poor light the $349 Pixel cleans the Xperia's clock. Sure, with a tripod and a static scene I could get a better result on the 5 iii perhaps but in most situations it's not close. Google has bottled smoke or something.
