[Q] Camera on Cyanogenmod 12 Unofficial beta 6

I´ve been testing CM12 beta 6 for 3 days and it´s great. Is the first time I install a custom ROM on a Sony Xperia device so everything is new for me in this device and the first complain about this is camera.. On stock the camara was ok for a 8MP device, very similar to my S4 Active(8mp). But now without the stock ROM the camera is terrible, very noisy in good light or low light. I´ve tried to improve the quality modifying the "build.prop" and "media_profiles" into system. But is not even near to stock. I know Sony has some drivers for the camera and some DRM in the TA partition, but by this moment my 5 years old HTC HD2 with 5MP is taking much better photos, the S4 Active I have also with CM12 is taking soo much better pictures and I think is the same or similar hardware 8MP.
Are some tricks for improve camera quality that I didn´t hear about Xperias devices?
Is this just with CM12 or with any Custom ROM?
Can I do something to improve my camera quality?

I know is just a beta yet, but before I Flashed that, I Flahsed LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 and the camera was the same, of course was more stable ROM but camera quality was the same. Too much blurry like if the lense was dirty compared to stock 4.2.2. I think it´s maybe because of the DRMs into the TA partition, same story with Xperia Z3 and others Xperias devices, so I want to know if there is any trick to improve camera quality to be similar to stock 4.2.2 o it´s imposible to do that.
someone says that varun is working on a new camera hal that maybe improve camera, we have a dead 4.2.2 device upgraded to 5.0.2 with near full completity (only need some fixes with framework, kernel modules like bluetooth modules and then the best part, battery improvements and performance, what at the moment without too much as kk have is a lot better than kk )
Camera stopped unexpectedly
Hi guys. I am really lost on what to do after flashing my C2105 with CM12 Beta 6. When i change the settings on Camera, everything can be done with the exception of when i try to change the resolution of the video from 720P to QVGA or the other one. I wanted to change to a smaller resolution so that the video won't be too large for sending through whatsapp. But when i press on QVGA, the camera has stopped unexpectedly. And i will have to clear data and cache and reset the settings again. Unluckily, the resolution still can't be changed :/ Ayone has the same problem or solution?

Very bad microphone during video recording

Hello
I went to Sam Smith's concert in Lille (France) tuesday, tried to record a short extract of his performance but the sound is horrible. My girlfriend has an iPhone 5S and the sound quality is perfect.
Do you experience a ****ty sound quality in noisy sound conditions too ?
How to fix that ?

Not sure how you're supposed to enjoy a concert being a static tripod.
Thanks daddy but you dont solve the problem of thé sound recording on Honor 6 in loud environement being terrible
I don't play for that team sorry...
@theoneofgod Compare the two videos I posted and tell me if it's normal that Honor 6 has so bad sound ? The problem is that they didn't optimize their Kirin Chips and it's the result...

It's nothing to do with the chipset but their microphone calibrations/software.

Back in the days when I had a Galaxy S4, with Cyanogen i had the same issue but with stock rom no problem
I think they didn't optimize the "drivers" for the phone, but it's lame
A 300€ device should not have this kind of issue

You need to send this directly to Honor themselves via Facebook or Twitter or whatever they use. If they hear you they might fix it but don't get your hopes up.
Same here.I went on a psy party and the sound was crap..Does the honor 6 + have the same microphone?I think it's hardware prob:crying:

It certainly has Contacted Honor, but no answer yet
It's really a game changer for me since I go to many festivals and concerts
Moreover I can't record my self playing music with it... With my GALAXY S4 didn't have this issue, the sound was clear, with bass too

It's the calibration of the microphone, the software.

Would it be possible to edit : /system/etc/audio/codec/ascend_MOGOLIA_ULG_ce.xml ?

I'm not the person to ask this. It's just that Huawei haven't tested the microphone under those circumstances and many other phones and cameras have the same problem.
I edit sample rate at etc/media profiles from 48000KHZ to 44100 as they say and the prob still exist.Even moto e records perfect sound...I'm already thinking changing to meizu mx4 and i really don't want to change it..
Does the microphone issue has a fix?
Hi,
I am looking to buy this phone and already got some good feedback on the battery side. The camera I have seen some nice or good enough photos, now the matter of sound...
This issue with the microphone is quite worrying. I do not record a lot of video, but if I wanted to I want to make sure I get some nice clear audio in the recorded video. Does anyone know if this issue has a fix? I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so maybe someone has done some research better than me and found a workaround. Maybe the latest OTA fixed the issue or some of the custom roms don't have the issue?
Do we have a solution for this?Did Huawei answered?
Hi!
Have another problem: when I call to someone or pick up the phone, people with whom I spoke complained of poor audibility. But in the dictophone mode microphone level still stay absolutely normal. Looks like as program error.
Reflash & customize my phone regular, may be something wrong ((
Now I make 3-th button restore to 5.9.1 without any customization, recieve auto update to 5.9.16, but no luck.
Any idea, please?

The microphone quality on the Honour 6 Plus is also very poor when using Bluetooth handsfree.
Have tried this with many different handsfree car kits and car stereos.
It would appear the the noise reduction algorithm is reducing the mic gain with the result that the mic audio level is about 15% of what it should be. This makes it extremely difficult for callers to hear what is being said.
Phone has been replaced.
Have tried 4.4 and 5.1 - no difference
For such a fantastic phone this is a massive oversight. Looking at the Mate 8 (when it appears), but worried may have same issue
Have emailed Hauwei support about issue, but there is no resolution

a lower speakers volume on 23.4.A.1.232 ???

I updated my phone to 23.4.A.1.230 and 23.4.A.1.232
I noticed that the speakers volume now is noticeably lower !!! it has more bass now but lower !! my Z3 has Z3+ speakers now!!
I was shocked comparing to an another Z3 phone.. I thought I have dirt in my speakers I cleaned them but after that I thought that If I have dirt it will not be in the both of the speakers in the same time!!
and I remember that the "stereo notification zip" was not working before the developer updated it.. So YES MAYBE!!... Sony changed something with the sound driver!!
in 23.4.A.0.546. the volume in music noticeably higher !! 30% louder really!!
I'm so much confused.. anyone facing this problem also with .230 and .232 ???
Well, I haven't noticed any changes in that. Seems to be the way it was before. Maybe the fault is in your phones speakrs. ;/
yeah so that I'm asking.. I want to know the truth..

How to increase speaker quality?

Yes, i have M2 for 2 years and speaker quality decreased caused of updates. It's so disorty and sounds very bad. I think this is caused by sony sound libs (sony sound normalizer,etc.) because Cyanogenmod haven't this problem, has crisp sound.
So, replacing sound libs from CM12.1 to stock 5.1 can solve this problem? And which files i should replace?
Thanks in advance.
