[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.

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, this. You can give some people the best camera in the world and they still take the crappiest pictures....

If you use google plus follow Romain guy he uploaded a sample video filmed with the gn and it is outstandingly amazing, screw the megapixels this bad boy is fantastic!

Someone can confirm that video mode have an image stabilisation option? Or this feature is only important for Apple?

The Galaxy Nexus has it, will the nexus have it nobody knows. It depends if it is hardware or software based.

Thanx! I hope the Galaxy S2 will also get this feature with an Ice Cream Sandwich.

I think the GS2 already have this feature implemented

Help with Stock Moto Cam in Official CM 10.2 (4.3)

I can't seem to get the 4.1.1 stock moto cam apk to install on CM 4.3. I've made sure to slap it into the app/system folder and set the permissions to 644 "rwx rxx rxx" but it still wont show up in my app drawer after rebooting.
On an unrelated note the Moto X camera and gallery install just fine. What am I doing wrong? .

It probably requires blur framework to run. You probably won't ever get it to work.

Yeah, probably something with the Blur framework. Why do you want the 4.1 camera if you can get the MotoX camera to work? It seems better in every way to me.

Along with this, you're probably going to get issues with system version compatibility.

Would you happen to have the apk of the MotoX camera? Last time I checked the MotoX cam was taking photos at 6MP instead of 8MP and had limited functionality as far as video recording goes (can't choose the quality of video). Also HDR photos take a lifetime. On stock it would take two seconds.

NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505

NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505
Hi Guys,
I have compiled the latest LGCamera App and its supporting depedancy libraries to make it work on Android 4.3 General ALL and i9500/i9505. This is a tested package and All the features are working as expected. Device to Device features might work or might not work.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_CWM" to be Flashed from CWM recovery.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_MANUAL" to be extracted to '/system' and manually set permissions to '0.0' (root:root) and '644' (rw-r-r). You might want to use "Root Explorer" to achieve this or your prefered explorer which has root capability.
NOTE: Before doing any modification to your device, please Remember to take Backup for your Device through CWM. Although i have tested this package thoroughly and found no issues BUT I am not responsible for any issues which might arise.

Great, thanks for this. It works great without any FC's and pics seems very clear than ones shot with TW camera.
Found two problems.
1. Even thou i chose 10M, 16:9 it always takes pictures in 4:3
2. no possibility to chose external SD card and it places pics always on internal SD.
Thanks.

For second one,
Since this has been taken from LG G2 & G2 doesn't support External SD, Camera app doesn't have save to External SD option.

But video camera works fine.

Google Play Edition requires a seperate modified LG Camera App since it's completely AOSP based or Pure Android.

Shutter sound bug is default problem part of Samsung firmware. Not camera app problem i think.

Port of Samsung camera APP?

Hello. Is there any port of Sammy or other camera app to N5? Stock is terrible in panoramas - it stitches worse panorama than my previous budget sammy and totally uncomparable to gs3 panoramas.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Since most of these oem cameras can't be ported onto aosp roms for the same phone, im going to say its unlikely. Try 3rd party apps or aosp cameras

Since touchwiz is a closed deal, I would assume that their apps that go along with it are also closed.

try doing a panorama with photosphere instead. its quality will be much higher. and you would need much more than the samsung camera app to make it work, youd need the framework, the cpu, and kernel support for it.

Thanks for quick reply. True - panoramas are muuuuuch better with photosphere. Not as good as with gs4 but good enough. Br!

Just pray someday Google will fix their camera software someday that is near.
It's a shame Google markets the camera like as if it's the best camera ever on the market. Don't market something if your not gonna make your camera software AWESOME.
Even the GSIV and HTC ONE looks crappy if you use an AOSP ROM with the Stock AOSP Camera.

[Q] Google Camera - Dithering problems?

Hi guys,
I noticed that when I take pictures with google camera App, they are Dithered!
Compared to my Stock Camera App and compared to Focal camera App it's very noticeable!
I like google's camera, but it's a shame if this problem exist in other devices too...
So I've got Galaxy S4 (i9500) and I'm running WanamLite V4 - 4.4.2, but I just want to check with you guys if
this problem exist on your devices too...
This is how it looks on my camera apps
look at the sky, can you see the Dithering in colors?
Please let me know if you have this problem too...
Cheers
:fingers-crossed:

That would be up to Google to fix, I personally would stick with the Samsung camera, the image looks allot better.

Thanks, as for now, I'm back to Samsung camera...
Pity, I like google's minimalistic UI... and Lens blur is cool too...
Thanks!

It is, it makes a huge difference on the Nexus 5 but in upcoming updates just try and see if the image has the same problem.
