Check settings. You might want to note if the camera is at 8 MP mode. Other modes would show a degraded quality.

[Q] improving video quality

Just wondering if there is a way of improving the overall video quality and perhaps getting 30fps from the Samsung Galaxy 3 I5801 camera?
Is it improved at all once a custom rom is installed?
Thanks..

Hi thanks for the reply!
I dont suppose anybody knows how easy this is or what rom exactly increases the quality?
There is not much point in having 15 fps ;-)
As its a 3.2 mega pixel camera you would think its would be capable of pretty decent video..

Nice one thanks it looks good! So improved camera quality for the apollo woul not be native in any rom?
If its a matter of using an app then a custom rom would not be needed.
I just don't get why its 15fps in the stock rom with the stock native video app.
Odd..
Thanks for the advice though !

Those files should be exactly the same as the stock roms, if not worst.
CM haven't changed anything yet when it comes to the camera quality.
Okay , damn, i really want to improve our camera to how good the camera quality is in froyo , also as you have cynogeMod installed on your phone , have you seen any difference in the quality of photos: between Gingerbread roms (aka Thai03D& Acura) and CynogenMod??

I would say that the camera app is better in cyanogenmod. The focusing. other than that, I can't see a big difference.
Our camera hardware isn't really the best compared to the SGS2.

SONY Xperia L Camera Quality

Is it a software or hardware thing? I mean the noise and shutter delay and video/picture quality. Do you think it can fix via software update in the future? Or we should accept rightnow that the sony advertisment of XL is not true.
I also compared the front facing camera of samsung galaxy s3 mini and Xperia L. The s3 mini has better quality when it comes to low light.
It's a software thing. Many people said that there is a diffrence between quality of photos on dirrent software update's. Defently Sony will fix it.
Ahh thanks for answering. I will keeo my xl for now and wait for the upcoming updates
I am at 1.36 and quality is way better but video recording will go lag on low light
Before, i tried to use the LG camera for video recording. Try it. It has a better setting than the stock

Yup I tried different 3rd party camera apps but they all lag on low light. on .17 this is fixed
Ahh. I will wait for the new update. I hope this camera problem in .17 will be fix. Do you still using .36 fw now?
Is there any app that will correct the noisy images of Xperia L?
My phones has the latest official update but photos are still grainy
Use snap cam. It's much better than the stock one. Just change some settings manually and you're good to go. Also the autofocus work well.
Hit thanks if it helped
Is there any port of Sony smart social camera working on XL? I've tried some, but none work.

I haven't used cm11 so can't tell. Stock works good for me.
Try adjusting the white balance for different lighting situations. Use ISO 100 or 200 if you are clicking outside with enough lighting.
Also you can try using different saturation and contrast levels till you get a perfect picture. I can't tell you the exact values since these vary with lighting.
All the best

Even I tried some but they didn't work for me either. Their working depends on the framework itself and thus they don't work with other devices most of the time.

[BOUNTY] Port MIUI camera to CM 12.1/13 rom

I dont know about you guys but I belive the MIUI camera is excellent, it has fast shutter speed and image processing. I have tried a lot of camera apps when I was on CM rom and none of them could match it.
Other members are welcome to donate (I will update the post) and to start of I will be putting $10 in the bounty for anyone who can port the MIUI camera to CM.

There are another options, as the OPO cam that has been ported to many devices, or the Cyanogen Camera, that it's which I have been using till now. That last is very good, it has many options to configure, including HDR and Slow-Mo video recording in HD. It's in another thread of xda.

I flashed the one from here (ver 5.8 ) and its working great, with very good picture quality (i would say its like stock miui camera, only some options dont work). What i find very cool is the "moving people" Option. It realy takes clear pictures, even if someone is moving fast (good when you have a little child, which never stands still ). With this Option i get shuttertimes faster than 1/300 sec.
I only miss the HDR PRO Option from miui camera.
Thanks @ekkilm for the tip and the link in your forum on your Website

Thanks, I was on 3.6 and thought I'll try 5.8 and I can confirm the shutter speed is definitely faster than 3.6 so I'm happy with that. Which rom you on now?
After a few tests, indoor at lowlight, miui takes clearer photos I.e. better focused.
I'll try this when I try cm at some point but I'm still hoping for a miui camera port.

Can somebody port Xperia Z4 camera?
I would also donate 20$ via Paypal for the port.
It's not about the handling/design of the MIUI camera app. It's more about the (probably closed-source) libraries to use all features of the Sony camera/lense and to get the best picture quality.
Try the oppo camera: it is the best. Dont forget install plugins. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/port-coloros-camera-cm11s-t3030369

thanks for recommendation
for me it's far better than MIUI or lenovo super camera, as it doesn't use so aggressive noise reduction which is especially visible at higher ISO levels - for me, MIUI camera smears away way too much detail.
also, the shutter speed seems very good
_________
EDIT: a bug found!
after you run oppo camera, all camera apps use only warmer flash, the colder one stays off, some camera apps don't enable the flashlight at all (even if you force the flash) - like CameraMX. only the system torch works properly
can't tell what's the reason, but as soon as you uninstall the oppo camera app, both leds return to normal work

The Cyanogen Camera does seem to work very well. Thank you for pointing me there. Shutter sound can not be disabled, but that can be fixed.
How did you manage to get slow-motion working?
Will try Opo Cam as well.

Maybe you could point us in a direction where we can get the plugins? They have been taken down due to DMCA claim.
Opo cam is not that good. some plugins crash the app, overall it is not as good as Cyanogen Camera imo. Are there any other good alternatives?
And yes, would be nice if miui cam got ported.
Full Potential
I was looking through some files from the EU weekly ROM and found some interesting files. As you can see in the image there is files in system/vendor/lib such as imx258_HFR_120. HFR stands for high frame rate and 120 suggests 120fps recording while the stock camera app for me seems to record at about 49 fps at 720p. The specifications of the camera sensor found here: http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/IS/sensor1/img/products/ProductBrief_IMX258_20151015.pdf say the sensor is capable of 1080p at 60fps. Can someone please try unlock the full potential of our camera?

Isn't it used for the slow motion? The full HD is indeed consistent at 29-30 fps and 4K videos are nearly half of it, not sure about 720p though.
That's what I mean, I only get 49fps at slow motion and other camera apps can't record at higher than 30fps.
i'm using cm and i miss a feature from my previous smiui.
in smiui i could take pics while pressing volume down.
i like to take a quick photo without wasting time.
i looked around and just found those spy stuff things but nothing like the miui feature.
would it be possible to port this with the original camera ?
i would also donate some money (10€ or more) for a port of these features.

I got the update to android Q yesterday. This is full review for that update.
1. Performance: Performance is the same and in some cases Android Q is a bit faster and better.
2. Battery: The Screen on time is almost the same for me(only few minutes worse)
3. Main Camera: The quality is the same on Stock app. Haven't tested GCam
4. Front Camera: The quality is a bit worse and yellow on Stock app. Haven't tested GCam
5. Storage: I had the same free space on Q as i had on P
6. Gaming: Same performance and a bit better FPS on some games.
7. Boot-up Time: Almost if not the same as Pie
8. App Launching Time: Quite faster in some cases.
---------------------------------MIUI PROBLEMS AFTER UPDATE--------------------------------------
I noticed small lags and studders when opening the recents menu and when i opened a folder
General Performance is fine but the poor front camera performance and the small lags
annoy me a lot. I will most probably flash LineageOS 17.1 Android Q from "coderz" to resolve
all of the issues i encountered on MIUI. I will inform you if i notice something else.:good::laugh:
Camera quality is lower than before
Thank You for this short review. I've just got the update notification and now I'm not going to install it. I'll wait some time to see others users comments about it.
Currently iam having miui global 11.0.8.When will i receive the new update..
I installed the update. Results:
Camera quality is the same. I didn't experienced that yellowish on front so the front camera I have the same quality as before. Performance is little bit higher. More smooth system responses. I consider this update as great. No bugs I noticed
No notice no difference in quality of photos.
Applying to both, front and back
