I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work. I guess it doesn't have autofocus.

Thanks bro, greatly appreciated... had also comfirmed it on my old G Nex which is also same 1.3 Mpix with the N5. Prolly is a fixed focus for video calls and selfies... :thumbup:

No problem. Maybe it was never intended to have focus since its a front cam. I don't remember any of my other Android phones having autofocus on the front cam but then again I never paid it much attention.

I don't think there are phones with autofocus at front camera

[Q] G2x - Weapon Camera

After I flashed weapon onto my phone. There have been 2 problems with my front facing camera, one that it comes out rotated 90 degrees for photo capture and when I try to use it for video it comes out completely messed up with 4 different screens, 1 with a green area, a blurred image of the camera and 2 other messed up views of the camera. Is there any fix for this? Thanks.
That happened to me while trying Skype. As for the bad screen I changed the Res, for the upside down I just rotated my phone. The finally I. Just said screw the stock cam and installed LG cam 3.0 which all works great except no Skype video

That's a known issue with LG Cam App... Try installing the stock Gingerbread Camera.

What's the difference between stock GB cam and LG Cam 3.0? Does it look different?

It looks different, has a couple features stock does not, and most importantly can record video in 1080p, something no other camera app on the G2X is capable of.
Here's a thread discussing the LG camera and what it can do if you're really curious. I personally don't find it necessary; the MIUI camera can do almost everything LG can do and Camera Advance can do everything (and more!) other than 1080p video, which I don't need.

Where can I find the .apk? I didn't see it on Market.
Nervermind,sorry. I found it. Also, it is a good app so far. I like knowing at what MP my pictures are as well as what size the video is recording at. Much btter than the standard GB cam app.

Only bad thing so far is that it doesnt work with Skype. I keep the stock cam zip file to flash via CWM when i need to make a skype video call.

[Q] ICS to finaly bring HD video to Nexus S?

I love my Nexus S phone but it's almost the only Android phone being sold today without HD video. The camera's resolution should support 720p video (as the Galaxy S), and the problem is the lack of support for HD video by the native Android operating system.
Now, that the Galaxy Nexus will support 1080p video recording with a native Android, do you think the Nexus S will get it too?
No. our hardware is limited.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
This is a question I am very interested in hearing the answer to as well. It would he nice to see HD video capabilities as well as the super fast shutter speed be provided by the OS to the Nexus S and not a hardware exclusive feature of the Galaxy Nexus.
It would also be nice if the update to ICS fixed the screen burn in on my phone caused by the notification bar.

Have you tried fast burst camera in the market? Just until we get ICS. Works very well
Not even 720p?
i recall the nexus s not getting 720p recording due to codecs
Nexus s is not doing 720p video. It is not a limatation with the os.
Search the forum if you want a detailed reason why.
Yes. Do a search. It is a hardware limitation, not software.
Nexus s camera sensor is different than galaxy s sensor because they needed the extra space in the phone casing for the NFC hardware in our phone. The sensors are physically differant. The pics are around here some where if you search for it. It shows both camera sensors to compare.

So that means the Nexus brand will always have a lesser camera
The Nexus One had a 5MP at launch with no HD video at launch.
The Nexus S still have a 5MP camera with no HD
No, the Galaxy Nexus still have a 5MP camera when everybody else use a 8MP camera.
I can't understand why google equip their flagship phones with relatively crappy cameras

Ahh you are falling foul of the MP myth dude, MPs are a size issue so unless you are printing posters then its not the MPs but the sensor too. You could have a 12mp camera with a ****ty sensor and an 8 mp with a good one and it will take the better picture. It is also dependent on the cameraman too of course.

Ah man, would have loved 720p recording

?? 720p front camera???

I just seen that the nexus 7 got a mod that makes the front facing camera able to record in 720p.... My only question is. Does our nexus s 4g have the capabilities of the same thing???

on the Nexus7 it is a simple property file tweak - on the other hand I don't think that either camera on the Nexus S is capable of 720p recording
No. Neither the front facing nor the back camera can record 720p video. Hardware limitation.

Best panorama taking app?

Which apps that take great panorama pictures would you recommend? It doesn't matter if I have to pay
The stock camera app takes low res panoramas, around 3 MP , the colors are washed out/weird , it's awful, just like the stock camera app itself, I mean, really google no 16:9 6 MP picture option? No 60 fps 1080p video? No burst mode? I could go on and on ...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the stock app is the only one that does photosphere. I know Focal had some sort of spherical photo but I don't know how well it works. Anyway, photosphere stitches it well for me. Have you tried holding the phone in one place and simply tilting it? It won't work if if you just wave your phone around everywhere.
noticed too the stock camera is terrible at panoramas... bad stitching and really low res...

[Camera][HDR][Slow motion][4K Recording][[email protected] also]

Hello friends i was wondering if any camra port will work perfectly on our mido ......
And finally I found a app that is working 100%
It is Moto G 4th Gen Camera port.
Credits:- @devmanus
Features:-
HDR
Slow motion recording
Normal recording upto 4k UHD and 2160p both @30fps
Everything is stable, picture quality is superb
DOWNLOAD:- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195919690
Screenshots
I already post this camera?
I can corroborate this post!
I checked it out, perfect camera!
Other than HDR+ and photo sphere kind of Google camera specific features, this Moto cam mod is superior to the Google Camera port that we have.
Better try the Oneplus 5 camera mod .. Its good
Yellow flash or normal one?

Sample shot with hdr on, overall very nice but colors a bit off, for example wall behind color is almost orange (dark curry) but on pic looks yellowish..
You guys be the judge, the darker photo is from Google camera HDR mod and the lighter one is from this thread.
As said above the colors are a bit off because the clears the photo way too much still I can't complaint it really lights up the pictures, I'm gonna keep both and use Google cam for daylight and this one for night time

For some reason it doesn't work for me. It says camera error please restart camera even though I've manually given all the permission... I'm on AOSP 15, someone got any idea why?

You may need to edit the build.prop file and enable the persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 and it will work.
