To b honest i find XL camera to be worse than many 5 MP camera.. I don't understand why it happen.. So i m wondering is there any camera mod from any good camera phones around..?
I dont prefer playstore apps as they don't provide anything better than the stock app..
Thanks in advance

well,camera is decent.it's kinda below average when taking photos at night.the object must stand still,otherwise the photo will be blury.the rest of time,it's good.I also use camera jb+,it's a little better than stock at focus imo.I don't know if there'll be any camera ports since camera it's like a very fragile object in a phone.it can cause many erros and can easily be broken.btw,did you updated to 2.17?
Thanx for replying
Yes i did update my device to the latest version.. But still it is not that good..
When i browsed through sony Xperia z themes and apps thread i could find a Lenovo camera port for XZ.. Hope something like that wil happen for XL too..

There is some good shots in here from the stock Camera.

Everything I read though is that it needs good light. Outdoor shots with it have been pretty good so far for me.
Yeah i get it.. Good lighting is essential

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
i recently downloaded hdr camera+ and found it to be really great compared to stock camera app. it gives pictures with more saturated colors and more contrast while earlier they used to be dull.
anyone else using this app or some other camera app that's really useful.?

Ones I've looked at:
ProCapture & Camera Zoom FX - Straightforward, some extra customazation in the form of exposure settings in the former and effects in the latter
Camera FV-5 - The closest you'll get to a DSLR in terms of manual settings
Night Camera - Optimized for low light shots
HDR camera - The title says it all
Camera Streak - Lightpainting!
Fast Burst Camera - Shoot tens of exposure per seconds, great for action/sports
Haven't tried half of those yet though :laugh:
I have camera zoomFX and its great. My pics have the same amount of detail as my friends GS2

I've been using Vignette for quite awhile now and love it. Its got lots of filters and always takes great pictures and is easy to use.

4.2 android camera for me, the photosphere is really cool
Right now I'm using snap and it's fantastic, I like the way the configuration works, it's very fast. I bought camera zoom fx some months ago but I've never really used it. It's a good app though, lots of options and filters, but I guess it's just too complex for me.

I use "Camera ICS" found on the Google Market for any ROM i have without any camera app included. It's just like ICS's camera app and it works great

If you're on 2.17, you can try downgrading to 1.36. Older firmware is way sharper

Hey Bro!!
Sony Is Known For Sound And Camera!!!
And Sony Advertised This Mobile By Saying Camera For Experts!!
Thus, It Confirms That Camera Issues Are Not Hardware Issues But Software Ones!!!
So, Wait For The Updates!!!
Sony Has Improved Their Update Services!!!
So Just Wait!!
STOP THIS!
I am no camera freak and I didn't noticed any difference between 2.17 and 1.36.I really believe that 2.17 is better due to video not lagging in low light(even if there was a fix on 1.36,it's more comforting this way).I didn't noticed any differences between photos and I don't waste my time looking for the issues.The only things that annoys me are low light photos & video "flashing" in some specific light conditions.But I accepted it,I know I can't do **** about it and I'm waiting for devs to create other android platform based roms or Sony to update our phone and hope it will get better.
So,stop this.The camera is the way it is and some settings won't do any magic and bang,the camera will work as you wish.

Here's the KitKat standalone camera app, compiled from source with no modifications.
It should work on 4.0 and up.
This doesn't include Photosphere and really isn't much different to the 4.3 camera.
Maybe it's just my device, but the camera is very laggy. I'm running stock ICS (Touchwiz) on my Ace II X.

Try it and see but the 4.3 google camera (with gallery) is really much more usable.
This doesn't play videos and the menu is a bit slow to open.
I still can't see a difference between stock jb camera app.

I'm not going to make any modifications to this, it is what it is, if you want a better camera there's plenty of choice.
I cant choose another location to save my images. I want them to my SD Card. Stock JB is better.
I installed the camera app as per your instructions but everytime I take a pic, the app freezes and I have to restart my phone for it to work again (only for it to freeze after another pic).
I am on cm10.2. Any idea on how to correct this?
