[Q] photos/images never focus..?

Hello, I am using cm7 the photos in the gallary will no longer take that time to focus and clear up. They stay pixelated. I updated my gallary.apk to a newer version and I am fairly positive this is the culprit. Also the order of my photos has been reversed chronologically. Does anyone know of any fixes or where i can find another gallery.apk that works well.
Thank you!

what would the gallery have to do with how the camera takes photos? I've never used CM7 strictly just ROMs using CM7 as a base but if the cameras are the same, make sure in the settings you have either pre-focus turned on or long focus turned on.

Its nothing to do with the camera. It is when I bring up an image in my gallery or browsing the web they no longer autofocus with the full version of the image.

The cm7 gallery kinda sucks. Use quickpic instead. 1000x's better.. free too, Give it a shot..
*Kingpin... get it?*

3D gallery from the market was my fix and it is the same as stock cm I think. Thanks guys.

[Q] watching movies on Samsung TV from Tab

Hey guys. I think this may be a shot in the dark but oh well. When I'm on stock ROMs i can open gallery, select video and then send it to my Samsung TV. Beautiful picture quality. I cant do this on CM or the like. What is it that is needed to do this? And if it is something simple can i just side load it onto my tab when I'm using CM or PacRom? Like if i were to take the gallery apk out of stock and put it in system. Would that work?

Think it's the allshare app which is responsible. it is only available in samsung based roms, only works with samsung framework.

[Download] New Google CAMERA & GALLERY App

Hi guys.
Finally Google is gradually publishing its apps on play store.
Download Google Camera and Gallery app here.
Don't know about the camera app but the gallery app is alot cleaner and responsive than the stock one.
Edit: We finally now have the ability to capture spheres.

But recording a video is not that good. I can't get is to record 1080P even if I chance the settings, it shows unsharp picture.

Isn't that just the camera app? Where do I get the gallery app?

Detail in photos is way higher with Samsung stock camera app in my tests so far. I also prefer Samsung gallery app since it allows me to move images between folders. Photosphere and filters are two nice features though
¡¡So say we all!! from Battlestar GT-I9500

I agree, the Samsung apps are a bit better right now, especially the camera app. The gallery seems nice and very fluid but the Samsung gallery is just equally as good.

I agree. Only if the app load time was a little better.

Does it work for you on the N5? I use it to, and it doesn't work on my N5.

Odd, seems to work fine for me. Had no contact images before installing. And all contacts after syncing.
Have you signed into Facebook with it and run a full sync?

cheers, worked perfectly did you guys tick the birthday option?

also what size do you set the pictures, they don't look so sharp with max supported selected (default)

I have used HaxSync on my Galaxy Nexus for a while and it works flawlessly. Have yet to get my N5 to test it on that...

Improved camera samples?

I am considering buying a Mini and I would like to ask, if there was a camera update thats targeting the actual photo quality? I red that there was some functions update, but did this improved the photos? All sample photos I saw on reviews were not much good, so I am interested in this.
Thanks

When I first received my maxx the photo quality was hit or miss. After the initial camera update the quality is very consistent. Just be sure that your lighting is good and your hand is steady. I think that many people expect these tiny cameras to be able to take excellent pictures under any circumstance. This is never going to happen.

Thanks, the camera update is that from Play store or it is a new android build? If so, can this be now taken and not kitkat?

It was the first or second ROM update that came through. The app seems to have added features like the ability to select a point of focus or exposure. That has proven to be a useful feature too.

That's a KitKat feature.

Low light compared to iPhone s4 is still not good.

Here are a few I took today in HDR and not HDR. I think the colors are rich and you can see a lot of contrast.

Hmm there must be compression on this forum. They appear much sharper on my computer.

Interesting would be to try to photo the same scene before and after camera update...

as shipped my moto maxx took horrible pictures. I wasn't on the 4.2.2 camera update long enough to get a good sample, but the pics are much better after the kitkat upgrade (which may have been improvements from camera update)

X users are getting even better low light performance after this last update they got so I would expect the ultra line will also see an improvement soon.

Try Focal camera in play store. May have a few issues but for more tweaking it's nice. Also love aviary for photo editing or snapseed
