[Q] CM/AOSP Camera vs Motorola Camera app - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

There is a way for porting motorola camera app to aosp/CM roms??
I would love to use CM roms like CM11, but the camera quality is disgusting in the dark, the lack of HDR implemented by motorola app is a big is a big lack for night shots.
Also the "concert mode" for video capturing in motorola camera app is sublime (excellent audio recording for concerts).
I have LG camera Pro, that is better than standard CM/aosp camera (in my opinion).
But I would love to see the port of motorola camera app.
I think that the motorola framework is needed, but I see that for some samsung galaxy devices someone ported samsung camera to CM roms.
No one is interested?

Yes, good camera app but have some bugs now.
For now I use LG camera pro, but I miss original motorola camera HDR and concert mode with video recording.
Would like to see original motorola camera on AOSP/CM roms.
I would do it myself but I don't know how to port applications that requires original moto framework

I am also very interested in this. I think it's bullcrap that an iPhone has auto-gain control in all their devices able to record crystal clear audio in very-loud environments. The Motorola devices with moto-camera app have "concert" mode that lowers the gain of the mic-inputs and dramatically improves audio capture for video in loud environments.
I am running Cm11 on my S4 and trying to get same results. I have found one way to manually change microphone sensitivity for the "Camcorder" audio profile in the system.
/system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x (or similar filename depending on device&rom) has all of the mixer profiles of inputs and outputs for audio.
Changing the audio level percents under
Code:
Name "Camcorder Tx"
Comment "Camcorder Tx device"
EnableSequence
'AIF1_CAP Mixer SLIM TX7':1:1
'SLIM_0_TX Channels':0:eek:ne
'SLIM TX7 MUX':0:DEC3
'DEC3 MUX':0:ADC4
'DEC3 Volume':1:76
'ADC4 Volume':1:100
'MICBIAS3 CAPLESS Switch':1:0
EndSequence
from 76 to something like 47 allows my S4 to capture LOUD audio in crystal clear form.
I have noticed that motorola versions of the snd_soc_msm_2x file have multiple "Camcorder TX" profiles, I'm going to guess each one has different sensitivities, maybe this has to do with "concert mode" in the camera app focusing on different audio profiles in the snd_soc_msm_2x file. I know that this can be copied over to other devices as well, especially that moto roms are very close to AOSP.

Best camera / video recording app?

What are the best apps available for picture and video recording for 2.2? I don't know why but I've been having a hard time finding good ones. I've been using Vignette which does it's job for taking pictures but doesn't have video recording support.
Hopefully there is an app availble that supports the 8MP pictures and 720P video recording of the X10.
I'd love to be able to use the stock camera from stock firmware but that doesn't seem to work on 2.2
Why not use this ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
It has a working 8MP cam and 720p video recording(Though the sound capture might be inaudible not sure why, i bet the devs are working on it and colour reproduction for me was kinda bluish effect.)
That is the rom I'm using. I'm just looking for an APP to take pics / shoot vids with. the stock android one kinda sucks
well...for photos with perfect light (outside, daylight) camera360 is perfect. it has very nice effects and the photos look like they are made by a pro. (one bad thing is, that it doesnt recognize the flashlight of the x10i - i dunno why and its not for free)

so far the best rom for me...
other than stock SE camera miui cam is nice
i confirm that
I love Camera360 Ultimate, it takes pictures faster than Vignette and in my experience better quality features.
Vignette has more effects but it takes FOREVER to process a photo, and I have frequent freezing, so I don't like it that much.

Miui camera for spica

Can anyone help to get miui or iphone type camera for spica or other good android camera apps.
And does any camera app allow to record video from front cam

Actually the original GTR camera application allows to shot photo and record video from front cam. Just tap on top icon on the left side to set video recording mode
I don't know why you are looking for this app, but if it is for the looks of it you should try MIUI Music too. I find it so much better than our stock music player.

[Q] Bad Sound quality while recording video

Hi all,
currently running rooted Stock ROM 4.4.4. and while the video quality os OK I´m very dissatisfied with the sound quality when recording videos. Tried using the (new) google Camera app from playtore which is my standard app and also tried using the free OpenCamera app.
The sound is extremely muffled and it seems like noise reduction or internal audio processing is the culpit.
Is there any chance to get rid of the noise cancelling when recording videos?
I know it must be possible because for example the Hi-Q MP3 audio recording app I use allows me to choose the audio input (raw audio, main mic) and I get much better sound quality using the raw audio unprocessed sound input vs. main mic which seems to be amplified.
Any hints on this guys?
Thanks a bunch,
Kusie
Did you try and search? Few threads about this.

Seems my first search was not good enough, did a new search with different search words and found two threads.
Thanks!

There's also quite a lengthy thread called something like "Microphone issues" that also covers this issue.

[Q] I recorded Videos at a festival and there is to much bass

Hello guys, i was at Nova rock in Austria this year and recorded some Videos too, but most of them have to much bass in them, i mostly used the Color OS Camera with 1080p and Default Settings, also one Video was with the normal camera.
My Rom is ressurection Rom cm12.1 (1 Version before latest)
I found out that the normal camera have a Audio codec to choose (aac) and the Color os camera (from the oneplus themes and apps the one with Version H )had an Option to use Audio from the microphone , i dont know if this helps me or makes better Audio as me and my friends were mostly in the first row of the wavebreaker and the bass here is pretty hard but my friend with an lg g3 (stock Rom) recorded most of it fine even thought he were right beside me.
Can some one give me suggestions what camera suits me better or what Options?
Anybody ?
This is an issue with CM not having sound limiter/mic gain control.
You can try to use cinema fv-5 which has audio gain control or any app where this function is present.
Is there this problem also with AOSP roms /oxygen?

[Q] EIS in third party camera app

Hello,
I'm using Background Video Recorder regularly as a secret recording tool and I'm in dilemma for buying the Google Pixel phone as a new smartphone.
I want to know if the Electronic Image Stabilization will work. The question is valid for other camera apps which can record video.
Thanks!
No one knows or willing to try?:crying:
Personally, I'm hesitant to contribute to spying apps. I realize that there are probably legitimate uses but I know of more than a few less savory needs for a camera that records without looking like it is recording. I only hope you represent the former and not the latter. I bring this up only to potentially explain why other folks may have remained silent like I did.
EIS only works in stock camera app. Annoying for me because stock camera app doesnt seem to support external microphones via aux or usb, so I can't use EIS in Cinema FV5 when using a mic.
