[Q] Camera exposure compensation does not work with 3rd party apps.

Hello, I am on ICS and have this problem since Gingerbread.
The exposure compensation function of the camera does not work with 3rd party applications.
When I try to change the exposure on a third party app (HDR Camera, camera zoom fx, procapture, vignette, camera fv-5) it always stays the same.
This is a pitty because I can't have HDR, bracketing etc, which would make for nice photos.
I've contacted Almalence (creators of HDR Camera) about this issue in the past but they couldn't help. They told me that not all Android devices give access to these controls and offered me a refund.
Since we have so many i9103 hackers here, I thought to ask if you have any experience with this issue. It should be a firmware and/or library thing.

Yes, I'm too facing the same issue. Can't change exposure value in other camera apps. I thought it was only me. But it seems this is universal.

Thanks, at least I know I am not alone. It is very difficult to find information about this problem for any device.
I can't understand why Samsung did such a bad work with the device. Especially in ICS there are standards they should follow for camera access in order to avoid such issues.

In CM actually, exposure doesn't work even with the default JB Gapps Camera app.

Fine, since this is a noticeable problem I'll add it to the bug report in CM10.1 as it's not working with that too. Lets see if Adam can some up with something.:fingers-crossed:

Or maybe he could at least give us some pointers, as to which files in the source code could be related with the problem.

Surprising fact is i am able to change exposure value.. Also tried in HDR+ app.. Worked for me.. No idea how.. And i am on Angeeks ICS..

Being able to change is one thing but does it make a difference. BTW which app are you using?

HDR camera+ always captures photos, but in order to work properly the 3 photos it takes should have very different brightness. Does it work that way in Angeeks ICS?

No, the exposure control is the bar on the bottom right, the one which goes [-2...-1...v...1...2].
When you move this bar, the brightness of the photo should change. Dark towards -2, bright towards 2.
It is also called exposure compensation.

If its like that, then its working for me. I m on CM10.1 with old kernel (comes with zip file). When I scroll towards +ve to -ve or vice versa then my the brightness of the photo changes. Dark towards -2, bright towards 2.:good:

Massively speed up Galaxy S4 - Temporary fix to reduce Lag

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeKoJfuiy_Y
This seems to help a lot
Settings
Developer options
Change Windows animation scale to OFF
Change Tranition animation scale to OFF
Change animation duration scale to OFF
Yes it gets rid of all the fancy animations, but until Samsung fix this, its a temporary fix

This is the 1st thing I do on all my Android phones. Helps on EVERY phone, not just the sg4.

Exactly what you'd expect, a quick dissolving effect when you go to the home screen, switch between apps etc.

Ha ha ha lets turn off the animation efects and this will make the phone faster...This make phone more ugly because you torn off visual efects,and nothing about overall procesor and work speed.NOTHING!

Wrong. I prefer the look without the animations and it does in fact make the phone much more responsive which is all good because lag sucks and that fix along with killing the S-voice on the home key makes the phone a whole lot better to live with.

I prefer them off. Much snappier. Thanks.

Who knew disabling something can make it faster? Another tip for you then which you may not be aware of. If you want to improve battery life, use it as little as possible. Hope that helps.

It's mind blowing how many people actually complains that the s4 lags!
my s4 is quick and snappy. Stock touchwiz qualcom version.
Even with air gestures and s voice enabled, there is no sign of lag or stutter.

New Official Google Camera

So just in case not everyone follows The Droid Life, I thought I'd post the new Camera App since photography quality seems to be one of biggest aspects of the phone people chase.
Let's see how it stacks against our Generous Dev's Xdabbed's and Jishnu's modified camera apps that they have done wonders with. I don't know if it'll be of any use to us since they've been pushing the stock app to the max, but maybe it's worth giving a try for UI experience.
You need to be on Android 4.4+
Google Cam APK
Here's the DL overview of it. Tour
I myself don't think it will compare with the quality and feature's Xdabbed has packed into his but new stock options are always nice.
Update: Ok so I've done my first comparison. Both at 13MP, Med/Low Lighting, and forced flash with a steady arm.

Google Cam:

Strange, but to me the google cam looks a alot sharper quality as per the rug and cat fur. The colors also look deeper i.e. the pink leopard spots. I'll have to play around more
Update 2: So I believe Google's Cam takes amazing pictures in ideal lighting and photo conditions, but Xdab's really strives at being a more versatile photo taker when it comes to other conditions such as low light.

Yeah, I saw this on D-L also. So far I am very impressed and happy to have Photo-sphere back in the arsenal.
One thing I want to try and do is hack the app to either add a 10Mwide [16:9] option or change the parameters on the 7.7M option to be the 10Mwide format that is available on the stock LG camera. Which is the one i use the most and allows for the full screen view w/ semi-transparent shutter button.

played around for a while. could not get photo sphere to work correctly. blur effect is good. images to me don't appear to be any better than lg stock camera app. certainly not many filters/effects etc. thanks for the download thought.

this is awesome. i love the blur effect. kinda like the M8 instead of having 2 camersa you raise the camera a bit and it takes another shot to create the depth of field effect.GENIUS!

I'm gonna play around with this a little more, but I actually think this might be a little sharper than X's mod.

The Google cam does look more contrast-y in the comparison pics.
Photosphere worked fine for me. LG gallery displays 3d panorama ok but Google gallery is better.

In some phones the capture button is transparent. Why in the g2 is not and how can I get it to be transparent? I have cm11 with gapps but the camera app in the play store didn't let me update but install.

This new google cam it is not so good in low light scenes...
Let's try to take some pics in dark scenes, you can notice that it is not able to focus using the flash led while stock/modded lg cam yes.

i dont like how small the pictures come out.

I love it, nice for custom roms!

Its really just meant for being simple and taking quick shots without cumbersome load times for instance like the HDR mode is super quick. I'm sure with more app updates on the way this camera app will have good potential

Low light shot.. first is x's camera, second is Google.
In low light x wins

Strange isn't it! You'd assume it's the same apk coming from Google Play, so must be something to do with the phone itself.
The GPE M8 is still HTC framework underneath right... just missing Sense and a few other HTC bells and whistles?

Yep and the black edges are very bothering
Gesendet von meinem HTC One M8 Google Play Edition

Installed on an M7 running an M8 Sense 6 port (InsertCoin) and there's no black edges - the viewfinder is the full screen and the shutter area is semi transparent. I like the fact that when you switch to video mode and you're in portrait view there's a constant icon telling you to rotate the camera (which does go away if you start recording). Google finally trying to kill off portrait videos - good for them! haha

IMO, the Google Camera App does produce a greenish tint on the M8, at least in the refocus mode after you refocused a little and let it render.
Already set the quality to high quality, but well, tinting is still there. Its not really heavy tinting, but enough to annoy me.
Normal photo mode seems fine so far, even tho it doesnt produce as good colors as the htc camera app.
Nevertheless, the new refocus tech is pretty logical and on still elements pretty powerful. I cant see it really useful for quick snaps or faster moving objects since it requires careful and steady movements.
Really hope that HTC improves the stock HTC camera app to let us adjust blur levels with increased accuracy on the captured image itself. the fail rate on ufocus sadly is pretty high still.
EDIT: I attached 2 images to show the green tint. First one is the shot right after i took it. second one is after refocusing. as you can see, there is a significant tint after processing. I even have the impression the processed image is now lower quality than before.

just get FKU and use the colour profiles to adjust it, all the screens will be slightly different colour depending on manufacturing run so you have to tweak it to normal manually

from your OTHER thread thats the same.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54123818&postcount=4
every single screen will variate, every one will be slightly different. and the screen color itself will change depending what kind of light you are standing in. his yellow screen might look much better in sunlight or fluorescent light, then in the incandescent light you are in.

What is FKU?

The yellow screen will get whiter with use. Give it a couple weeks

Franco Kernel Updater... it's one of several kernal tweakers. A custom kernal like Franco allows you to change the color profile or if you install ElementalX, you can choose a pre-defined cooler color profile during the installation without the need for a kernel tweaker.

If you ask me, the right one looks a little bluish :silly:
If it does wither away (I doubt it), well and good otherwise you will need a custom kernel which supports gamma calibration by which you can set profiles to change the color.

I don't think it will but this is the perfect opportunity to test it.
OP, report back to us in a couple weeks if there are any changes. I think that most people's eyes just adjust to the slight yellow hue but with another screen to compare against, the difference will remain visible.
