Hello.
First of all, my compliments to everone that makes great things like custom roms, mods, and so.
I'd like to know if is there a way to mod/improve/change the camera app, so the shutter speed can be set.
Thanks.
Hello again. It seems this thread gained some interest, but no one could give an answer. What I asked was if is there any way to hack, develop, activate improved settings for htc chacha camera.
Videos are saved in 3gp format. Is there any way to make camera app to save them as mp4?
Pictures get blurry if the subject moves quickly, or you are not steady when shooting. Is there any way to set the shutter speed?
I don't know if the camera app can be disassembled or something, and hacked into make that things.
Maybe the camera app can be ported from another model that uses the same camera model, and can do that.
I asked HTC about this, and they answered "latest 2.3.5 version has many improvements", but none about the camera...
The camera is way better than Wildfire, which my wife owns, but I think it can be even better if the camera app is up to it.
Thanks for reading.
The big question revolving around this issue is if the cameras themselves are the same between the phones. It's not only the camera.apk that's connecting them, it's the hardware as well. Yes, there could be a possibility that the cameras are the same, between ChaCha and Wildfire (for example), but at the same time the proc or image sensor might be of a newer generation. Unfortunately I have no hardware specs on this, if anyone knows it would be nice to know.
Question: Do you know of any phone that has advanced settings inside the Camera.apk that allows you to set shutter speed? Would be interesting to compare them a bit.
In the camera.parameters public class there is a setting called scene_mode_sports that seems to be the only way to set a faster shutter speed.
I can't see it in my HTC Chacha/Status, and even lgcamera hasn't that option in the menu.
There is a profile.xml file that sets the limitations of the camera, but it seems people hack it to allow the camera to record movies in higher resolutions, because many times the limitations are imposed by the manufacturer and not the hardware.
Also, hacking the firmware and/or the drivers of a camera would allow to gain the full features of it.
This reminds me of people that upgraded the Nokia N900 to allow it to record movies in 720p, just by replacing binary files in the phone.
Is there an app that tells you what exactly hardware your phone has, and such drivers or modules it uses?
Thanks all.
Hello all.
I'm reviving this with some news. The camera module the ChaCha uses is a Samsung s5k4e1gx (http://www.samsung.com/global/busin...t/cmos-imaging/detail?productId=5622&iaId=220), the same found in several other HTC models: HTC Desire Z, HTC Mini and others.
It seems that in the Desire Z this camera is able to record 720p video.
I think this is determined by the firmware loaded for the camera, and the app itself.
I'd like to know if it's possible to port change the original ChaCha camera related modules and firmware from the Desire Z ones, so the camera can get taht 720p video shooting.
Also, I'm searching for a way to disable the auto light metering so a manual can be set. There are many 'better camera' apps in the market but they all seem to improve the original camera app itself, instead of getting the most of the actual camera sensor.
Thanks all.
Hello guys, i was at Nova rock in Austria this year and recorded some Videos too, but most of them have to much bass in them, i mostly used the Color OS Camera with 1080p and Default Settings, also one Video was with the normal camera.
My Rom is ressurection Rom cm12.1 (1 Version before latest)
I found out that the normal camera have a Audio codec to choose (aac) and the Color os camera (from the oneplus themes and apps the one with Version H )had an Option to use Audio from the microphone , i dont know if this helps me or makes better Audio as me and my friends were mostly in the first row of the wavebreaker and the bass here is pretty hard but my friend with an lg g3 (stock Rom) recorded most of it fine even thought he were right beside me.
Can some one give me suggestions what camera suits me better or what Options?
Anybody ?
This is an issue with CM not having sound limiter/mic gain control.
You can try to use cinema fv-5 which has audio gain control or any app where this function is present.
Is there this problem also with AOSP roms /oxygen?
I updated to Android marshmallow yesterday but noticed that the camera ui is still the same one as lollipop but I wanna know if there is a way to get the new ui from the nexus 5x or nexus 6p for the nexus 5 on marshmallow.
Yes even I saw that but the Google photos say adjust slow motion videos taken with Google camera .. And slow motion video comes only with Google camera 3.0 which has that UI you say!!!
You can't. The new UI is for the newer devices. Older devices will either get it at a later date, or not be changed at all.
I know the S7 Camera is really good. But we heared that are different Sensors Samsung used in their Phones. What do you think guys,we need a Camera Mod to get more stunning Pictures and Videos or is the Camera that comes with S7 enough for you ?
The stock camera is the best I've had in a cell phone. If I need better I get out my real camera, a Canon 7D.
The phone is for snapshots, the camera is for the real photographs.
A mod for increased video bitrates is always welcome, samsung default values are not great. But for this, we need to wait an apktool version working with samsung marshmallow apk.
L camera did 120fps back in the days, it's 2018 now and everyone gets slow-mo via stock or Google Camera mods or Magisk modules - EXCEPT US! Any new way to achieve 60/120fps on Nougat/Oreo for N5?
Interested in this.
However, what mods of google camera are there for nexus 5? I cannot find any searching on xda
