Right now I am using a motorola stock camera app as I find it better than anything else I have tried, however the video on this is 720p, the stock app that came with the phone was 1080p, does anyone know where I can get the apk for this?
Thanks

Which ROM are you running?
Stock Camera app has 1080p recording option in Stock ROM, but in kexec based ROMs, max is 720p even for stock Camera app.

Running Avatar 3.0. Thanks, didn't realise that. Is 1080p on kexec ROMs likely to ever happen, or is it just not possible?

As of now, I don't think it's possible, though the Devs are trying to fix 1080p recording as well as HDMI.

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

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. 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)
When ever I take pictures their are black bars on the side of the pictures. Also when I'm in the camera app everything looks like it has a weird filter but when I take the picture they are clear.

Im using CM 9.1 by scverhagen.
Yeh I have the same rom as you CM9 R8 and to me the image on the screen isnt as clear but when you take a pic it seems the resolution turns out better than you expected. I also noticed that the camera button on the side of your phone doesnt work which is lame I really liked using that for picture taking it was handy but oh well cant be perfect for a rom. If you want also do what I did, I just downloaded other camera and video apps. Way better than the stock app and on the screen they show up as better resolution than the stock app
Yeah, unfortunately the camera apps that come with CM/AOKP ROMs are very lacking on this phone, compared to the stock camera app. There are some third-party apps that do reasonably well, though. I like Camera360.

The black bars on the side is because the phone has a 16x9 screen but the picture is being taken in the 4:3 ratio. It's the same thing as watching an old tv show on a new widescreen tv.
Talking about our camera, has anyone figured out a way to port our camera to Cyanogen? That's the only thing that's stopping me from flashing a Rom, considering I've had this phone for a year.

Well I'm running the RemICS_UX port from the HD2. Not bad of a rom. It's over samsungized but I'll find a theme for it. It claims to have the 1080p recording so lets see how that works out.
I personally don't care for all the "features" of the stock CAMERA app since I can always download a 3rd party app that will be on par. I only use night mode, macro and automatic. My main concern is 1080p recording (and that the mic doesn't sound so crappy).

I believe the 1080 not working has more to do with HTC Android drivers for the camera, rather than the available choice in the software.

Yeah, trying to record in 1080 makes the button useless. I'm starting to feel that the phone doesn't have real 1080p feature. My last phone was a Huawei Comet/U8150 and I had a very similar issue with the camera. Turned out that the phone had a 2.0 megapixel camera that was made to look like a 3.0 by the stock software. It was a sorry excuse of a camera.
I'm going to have to think about this one. I wonder if we could somehow port or rewrite a code to get 1080p working. Sadly, I know nothing about android development. My main thought was to sit the htc camera apk on top of cyanogen but I've read up that it's not that simple.... which I find weird considering someone has the beats by dre stuff on their mytouch4g slide rom.
Its not to complicated to understand but it is to fix. You see it does have true 1080 recording and it still one of the best cellphone cameras to date. Thing is if you want to run a custom ROM that is not based of the original T-Mobile release then some things may not be the same, the camera being one.
Unless you can get ahold of the proprietary camera drivers or write you're own you will be missing much of what is available. And any app based off the HTC framework will not work of different, such as cyanogen or even aosp.
Even phones that have been nearly torn apart by some super smart people doesn't mean that everything imaginable is possible or at least not easy. Try running sense on a Samsung phone, not too easy. Just saying be happy for what you have unless you know a sneaky backdoor to these issues that no one has thought of yet
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I knew it had to lay within the coding.
I already imagined that it would be hard. Such a shame...
This is very similar to my hugely popular mod for the Nexus 7 that I did. I did this because it seems CM on the One doesn't support 720p or 1080p, so maybe some vloggers or people who like to take videos of themselves (vain people?) would enjoy this very simple modification.
I got 1080p video recording working on my One under CM and felt you guys should know about this too. It's a simple fix as it's not a limitation of hardware or a kernel function or anything, rather for some reason HTC is using a weird way to enable 1080p in the stock firmware that doesn't carry over to CM. They aren't using the media_profiles.xml. This mod includes 1080p recording for the front camera, as well as some alterations to the bitrate of the audio and video to give it slightly better quality in the output videos. You won't really notice it unless you're really trying, but it's little things that all add up to give a better experience.
This is NOT needed under stock ROMs
Somehow, HTC have made their camera application NOT need to read the media_profiles.xml, and as a result the stock ROM does not need this modification. Only CM based ROMs need this. I don't know if it's needed under the Google Edition firmware or not. You'll have to let me know.
How To Install
Download the zip (M7-1080p-Camera-for-CM)
Reboot to recovery
Install
Reboot to Android
???
PROFIT!
The Mod
It's the same deal as on the Nexus 7: simply use my attached pre-modified file and push it to /system/etc/media_profiles.xml. I expect the permissions will be 644.
How It Works
I had to explain this on the Nexus 7, so I'll explain it again. The hardware already supports this functionality as the camera itself just sends RAW information to the processor, and then based on the settings the processor is given by Android, the processor encodes it in the format it's been told to, for example for the rear camera it would be told to record 1920x1080 @ a certain bitrate to H.264. The processor itself doesn't tell Android what the hardware is capable of (and considering the Snapdragon 600s enormous video encoder capabilities, they're very high), Android is told what it can do by the file media_profiles.xml.
No this will not improve video quality in Skype/Hangouts/whatever other thing you want to do, this will only work for video recording applications.
Download Link
Check the attachments below. There are two files: media_profiles and M7-1080p-Camera-for-CM - media_profiles is JUST the XML file, and M7-1080p-Camera-for-CM is the installer for CWM/TWRP. Most users will want that. Just install it from in CM.

You are not wrong, I'm also seeing all the same profiles (MMS, 720P, 1080P) when switching to the front camera... so why this MOD? lol

Interesting. It appears to work in the stock firmware, but not on CM, but even in the stock firmware it doesn't have the 1080p media profiles. I'm guessing HTC are doing something sneaky to make it work. Well this mod still works for CM nonetheless. Guess I need to add this to CM like I did with the N7. Of course the purpose of this mod is slightly killed by the front camera working like *** on CM.
Good to know though.
Seeing this mod is rather pointless on the stock ROMs, I will make it useful and max out the encoder capabilities. Be back in an hour when I find the full abilities of the Snapdragon 600s video encoder.
EDIT: Updated first post to now include my updated media_profiles.xml for 1080p front camera recording and increased bitrate video and audio.
Just realised why CM doesn't do 1080p for the front camera. They use a common media_profiles.xml for ALL MSM8960 HTC devices.. which means older crappier phones have the same profile. Effectively, this limits CM on the One a lot. Lemme relearn how to make a commit to CM so I can add this into their repo.

Unfortunately not. I'm not sure what causes that, but I want to look into it because it's really odd it only happens to the front camera. I suspect the sensor has a weird colour profile that isn't being set up right? Could be wrong.

In my case, that green hue is related to light surrounding (I ain't sure what's the term for it, but it's that sun/cloudy/AW/bulb thingy in camera settings circle).

Hello guys, how are you all?
After a long time using CM, I finally needed to use the video recording feature. But I got surprised when I recorded a video. The quality looks pretty bad with 720p, but looks good with 480p. I recorded two test videos, on 720p and 480p.
Here's a video on 720p:

And here's another, on 480p:

I recorded them at the same time, no changes in the background. I don't have any test video from the old Sammy ROM, maybe that's CM-only problem?

On the stock Motorola camera app, we have the option to take HDR pics. However, when I installed the newer google camera app the HDR option is gone. Anyone know why? Is it possible to get it back?
It's only available for certain phones and the xt926 isn't one of them.

I haven't tried it yet, but it may be possible to side load it from our Stock rom. Just have to find the app file with root explorer, save it to SD, and then try and drag it into the app folder.

You can't right now AFAIK. It requires too many non-AOSP components (in other words, Motorola components like gallery and others). I supposed you could copy the stock APKs out of a stock image flashed on your phone for both the camera and gallery APKs and then in CM, copy these to the /system/app directory, reboot and see what happens. Worse that will happen is they won't work. But, I'm pretty sure they are compiled against other "libraries" that are not in the AOSP image which is what CM11 is compiled off of.

Sorry about that. That was when I wasn't on CM11 but on stock. Now that I'm on CM11, I've been searching around for HD cameras from the Play store. One that I'm currently looking at is called "A Better Camera" which has HD mode built in. It's free and if you want other add ons, you can purchase them piece by piece (more controls for HDR colors, high resolution panorama - you already get panaroma mode but not in HDR, group shots, moving objects, etc). For $6.99, you can unlock all those premium features forever or purchase the ones you want for $2.99 a piece if you only a want one or two of them.
So far, seems to be a pretty good camera and just out of the box for free, it offers a whole lot of options that most other cameras would require you to purchase.
Once really nice feature I like about this camera is it does allow you to specify to save your photos to your external SD card and it works under CM11.
Speaking of cameras, I've noticed that the quality of the images I take using cm11 are very noticeably inferior to the stock kit kat images. Is that an OS issue, or the camera app that's installed? I'm using the stock Google camera.

I have no proof for it and my stock days are already a year back, but I swear that any custom rom introduces a "purple haze" to the center of my lense and I also subjectively consider the stock camera quality better.. now for a snap here and there it is ok and never bothered me enough to go back to stock, but I think it is noticeable. I think one chap also posted factual comparison between stock and AOSP.
Probably Motorola knows better how to tweak their camera or whatever.. I don't know.
