Camera Observations which i did
:angel:
If any one is intrested in Original pictures then letme know i will give the link below so that you can have keen observation and deductions than me :highfive:
These are the Images taken with 5 camera Apps
1) Cyanogen Camera - Apkmirror
2) Camera Fv-5 pro
3) Footej Camera - Playstore
4) Open Camera - Playstore
5) Stock Camera
Settings :
Exposure Type : Frame Average/Average Metering
ISO: AUTO
BRIGHTNESS : AUTO
Focus Type : Touch to Focus
Environment : Indoor ( without artificial lightning,but with ample sunlight visibility)

i took same thing, by changing all camera' sby touching them allways at same point.. here are the results
1) Image taken by Camera Fv5 -
There is image Smoothing going on... which is same as Lenovo stock camera, but this gave the image size of 5 MB
2) Image taken by Cyanogen Camera -
In here, there is no image smoothening but detail level is Maximum than anyother camera i have tested, This gave image size of 6 MB
3) Image taken by Footej camera -
Here also i can see image smoothing, this exactly showcased what lenovo stock camera did , image size is 2 MB
4) Open Camera -
This is another camera which has Good detail, but image taken by Cyanogen camera is having more level of detail than this .. This gave image size of 8 MB ( The highest)
5) Fianlly Stock Camera - Smart ON
This is the fastest snapper among all the camera apps i have tested, but the level of detail is way lower, there is severe image smoothing going on ( same as Camera Fv5,Footej camera) , the image size is 2 MB
i decided there is something Wrong with Smart ON and OFF
so i took samples with ON and OFF , but the resulting image smoothening is similar, the smart ON mode took better exposure control than OFF mode, image sizes are same
Verdict : Open camera, and Cyanogen Camera are atleast overcoming SOME limitations by Lenovo , thereby causing better images than Other cameraapps that i have tested today .. but Color Composition is same in every APP , Brightness and exposure may vary depending on my Touches, but its least to bother..
Lenovo Stock camera app always takes images with lower exposure levels,thus resultant image is Pale
I prefer Cyanogen Camera as its giving more detail,with out smoothening the image aggresively..

@nandakis4
hi, can you share the link to cyanogen camera app? i can't find it in play store...

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/cyanogenmod

I like camera FV5 , you know you can go into settings and adjust image sharpness and if you save as PNG you get less smoothing than saving as jpg , but file is a lot bigger . . I'll post a few photos using different camera apps when i get time

Thanks @nandakis4 but not working on my device, the app stop at launch (cyanogen camera)!

Help please!

These are photos I took with open camera. I edited them with auto filter from Google photos as they seemed dull without it. P.S You have to root the phone for CyanogenMod apps.

Stock app @dannejanne ?

I don't own a P2 yet...
Why are people saying the camera is bad? You guys seem to get good shots.
Has the 7.0 update helped?

Froyo Camera jgp compression patch/disable

replace /system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin with attached file
It is possible to improve the JPG compression of the camera, almost removing the compression. I have already written on the xda-devs, can someone come in handy here.
Take the file / system / etc / mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin, changes everything 41 01 44 07 41 01 XX to 44 07 01 and replace the phone. In sharp ones Jpg files will be 3 times more, about 1,5 Mega and visually clearer, because More information is preserved.
Orginal thread:
http://translate.googleusercontent....le.com&usg=ALkJrhiMchLa2BqAErK-NweguJWkSvGNSw
I already try this patch.. I can't say that improves the quality much..
That It's better than before,I agree!
Sent from my MOTO Defy
Found it strange since day 1 I have this great phone that you cannot set the jpeg compression in the camera software.
Anyway, somehow getting the raw sensor data, that would be really cool!
Not a perfect picture, but much more better now, thanks.
- Well, what do you think how many % did quality improve?
- And how many % did the data-rate/filesize increase?
The relation of these two factors is the only relevant thing here I think.
Can you please upload the PICTURE "before and after" this update please

in both respects no change on my defy. image quality doesn't improve noticably, neither does the file size (stays between 1.1-1.3mb). sorry. but thanks for the effort though.
Don't know others cameras, but this is mine.

FAKE, 100%%
This patch doesn't anything....
It's only a simple change of exposition, only works with flash and something with normal photos witouth flash!!
Go awai lier...
Ehi guys the user Stalker1971 from telefonino.net uploaded 2 picture: one made with the standard camera app, the second one with the app "Pro zoom camera 5x".
I think the quality improvement is huge.
Take a look at the photo:
1 standard) less than 400 kb
http://img847.imageshack.us/i/20110303170504600.jpg/
2 Pro zoom camera 5x) 3,1 MB
http://img203.imageshack.us/i/mar320118593.jpg/
What do you think?
Kinda hard to compare if its not the same image, really...
Indeed. And ofcourse, a bigger filesize says little about actual quality.

OMG... Did you even tried that? I didn't said it's perfect, but pictures are now much more better, and less compressed, compared with those without this patch. So it is on my phone, that's a fact.
So please go away yourself.
Hi,
Here are sample of stock camera, vignette and Camera360:
Stock_camera...............................Vignette....................................Camera360
468KB..........................................1.62MB.....................................1.29MB
quality75......................................quality100..................................quality100
Tomorrow I'm gonna try to shot on the day light.
I prefer Camera360 photos but stock camera is working very well too. Vignette has some trouble with flash led.
edit:
Here are photos in day light.
1. Camera360
2. Stock Camera
3. Vignette
Vignette looks the best at the day light.
I have some trouble with this patch.
My stock program works well for 2-3 shoots sequently, but then it stuck with half screen with photo and half with grey color...
I noticed with my first vertical photo (turning phone clockwise) but after that it's happened almost every time...
Now I try go back with stock one.
Maybe something in file writing stucked the phone.. Someone have noticed something similar?
Edit: Maybe I've found the bug.. if I take photos in my room, the photo is around 800KB, but with external snapshot (more details, more colors = bigger file) I can reach over 1.4MB... I think the camera is stucking with files over that dimension. Maybe a bit higher compression will help.. I'll try.

Cam results?

Hi,
I got CM 11S flashed on my Chinese OPO, boot loader unlocked and rooted.
But the cam results are terrible.
1. Front camera though 5MP has better results.
2. Main camera, in Auto mode wit Flash set at auto, doesn't flash in darkness, if for some reason it does the pic results are so dull, creamy unsharp, despite that its a 13MP.
3. Flash sensor issues?
4. I got great results with Color OS initially......... and later when previously flashed CM 11 S over Color, they weren't that bad either..........may be by chance the the Color cam got ported over CM 11S?
5. So disappointed plan on going back to Color.
Any suggestions, recommendations,
Thanks.
Yeah, i'm not a fan of the camera. AT ALL.
Some things that bug me about the One's camera:
1) pictures look destaurated and color's don't pop.
2) exposure is too dark in almost all cases
3) sharpness is no where near my nexus's 5 stock camera.
Nexus 5's camera is MUCH better.
Unless someone can tell me how to improve this, I just hate the one's camera. sucks.

Thanks for the reply.
My phone's issue is cam sucks with CM 11S?
When I got it CM 11S with cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot OR cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed results of cam were not bad.
But with this OPO_64GB cam sucks.
Thanks.
For the camera, I don't know what to tell you, but it sees like you just want to modify the camera shutter and exposure settings to your preference. Or you can go into the themes/app section and reflash the stock camera.

I would have to manually over expose the camera EVERY TIME i launch the camera app. Annoying.
I've already installed Google Camera. The stock OnePlus camera and some other ones from the play store.
They all give the same results.
It's fundamentally a camera sensor issue.

Yea, that sounds amiss; personally, I haven't had any noticeable issues with my camera.
But shouldn't the settings persist though, so you don't have to do it EVERY time?
Am a a bit confused........does the Color cam give bad results or CM 11S cam?
Stock OnePlus camera and Google camera have similar results.....What do you imply by stock OP cam?
Is Google cam available at GPS, should I try installing it over CM 11S?
Camera sensor issues are with Color OS?
Thanks.
Guys, it's a matter of knowing how to use a smartphone camera properly. Point and shoot just doesn't cut it for all situations.

If you know how to use it, it is really good.

I've used the app Perfectly Clear to help edit brightness and saturation and have been very pleased.
Again, it's a camera phone. You can't expect DSLR quality. Great lighting is key with these sensors.

Probably should reflash CM 11S.......... cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.
Thanks again.
I have seen some complaints but for the less than two days I have had this phone camera has been wonderful.
Outside in good light is on par with most flagships in my opinion and low light is OK but have seen few phones that are better.
Been using slimkat with Google camera and response time is great with auto mode
Xda doesn't like my file sizes....

Front facing camera terrible quality

Hi does anyone else have a grainy and noisy front camera experience? I mean in the view finder is horrible and then when saved the picture gets kind of fixed, but still snapchat doesn't make this arrangement for example.. Of course it's more noticeable in poor lightning conditions
Nothink u can do ,all xperia z3 have same engine : Take a photo and then remove noises .The problem is snapchat only "take a photo" ,this app won't remove noised (i think its related with DMR keys algorithm)

But in a dark environment If you cover the front camera with your finger what do you see exactly, I mean is it completely dark? Would you upload a screenshot for me please? [emoji16]
If i using default camera my screen is almost perfectly black (of corse i talking about photo ,not camera viewer) ,in snapchat i have little blue noises ,its all of high ISO (if camera see low light ISO get high ,and noises become more visible) its normal for everyone ,cuz as i said snapchat can't use our algoritms to remove noises (its feature only for default camera ;/)

Please I'm talking seriously, it's not just snapchat instagram as well I just want to know if other people experience the same
As i said, photos from your smartphone look corect
Sad indeed.
Guess when i finally get a Z3, I probably wont be snapchatting much because I already dont on my Moto G due to poor front camera
LOL!! You guys should check out the front camera comparison at phonearena. Z3 came last. Surprisingly in both front and rear camera comparisons....
I use the screen as flash you can turn that on in the snapchat settings. The photo's now have much better quality.
Other camera apps can use the algorithms to correct noise, snapchat can't apparently
Guys an easy fix to this Snapchat problem is just to download the app SaveMySnaps. It allows you to use the default camera to take snaps. Im sure there are alternative apps for instagram too that use the default camera.

Not my ROM. You would need to ask at the LeEco site.
Used it for a few days,
everything almost 100% working so far.
Very smooth and fast, no unusual battery drain.
The only thing is the camera (or me very important)
OpenCamera is a bit too slow when shooting, so with moving objects it`s very difficult to obtain a sharp image.
A Better Camera is not working at all. Spend money for nothing....
High Speed Camera is working very well but 8mpx resolution max.
FV-5 is also working very well but you have to install Cinema FV-5 to shoot videos
Levono Camera without working video recording, only photos.
And so on....
So it´s very difficult to get the same image quality and options like HDR, Panorama like in stock Camera with an "all in one solution"

do the pro and the normal version have the same codename (x620?), because you obviously use the pro version (21mp)

So, the Pixel 2s camera is amazing! How does Lightroom camera app keep up?

Hi
The camera on Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is the best imo, and been working great for me.
- Ive been using Lightroom to edit my photos taken by the stock camera app. Never really used the camera app from Lightroom, but I tried it yesterday and it is absolutly amazing when shooting in DNG (RAW) and Professionel mode, where you are able to use manuel control.
Anyone else who has experience with the proffesionel mode in Lightroom with success?
The main question is; in Lightroom you are able to choose HDR photos , and sincs the stock camera app on Pixel 2 use HDR+ as default, I am wondering if anyone has some experience with whether there is a difference between these?
And does any know how it works with Camera HAL HDR+ turned on and using HDR in Lightroom?
Johnny
I got my pixel 2 after the new years holiday. I did some testings with both default camera's normal/ hdr+ / hdr+ enhanced and Adobe Lightroom app raw format, in different lighting conditions. So far I would say without post production and editing, Pixel's default camera app gives everything you need. However there's some raw/dng shots I took with Adobe Lightroom look nicer than google's camera app after editing work done in Camera Raw. I can post some samples if you are interested.
I've been using Lightroom extensively on my iPhone X and the quality of the images (even in JPG) is leaps and bounds ahead of the stock app.
For my recently bought Pixel 2, the experience has been very bad so far. It's five times slower, the quality seems to lack a little and several options are not present or implemented in a worse way than on iOS.
I did not find a way to use the new HDR API (you can activate it in the developer options) with Lightroom yet. The build-in HDR function looks like crap imho.

]Hey guys,
I have been quite busy lately, so this is a brief comparison.
My Pixel 2 took a couple of shots with default camera app in regular, hdr+ and hdr+enhanced modes. If you look at the metadata screenshots, you will find it in the application field, it says:
"walleye-user 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.013 4474084 release-keys" - regular mode
"HDR+ 1.0.177471000z" - HDR+
"HDR+ 1.0.177471000n" - HDR+enhanced
Apprently HDR+enhanced mode merges multiple exposures and create a final result contains the best dynamic range and exposure with good amount of high lights and shadows.
see the back lit tree for reference.

For Adobe lightroom, I took both regular dng (raw) and hdr dng(multiple exposures raw data merged, similar to "merge hdr" feature in the new desktop Camera Raw plugin) In this case the lighting is quite dramatic and tricky, for the same example you will see that the data captured in regular dng isn't big enough to restore the over exposed sky, but the hdr dng which doubles in file size is able to. ( I will upload full res images later to google photos if you want to compare lightroom hdr raw vs. google camera hdr+enhanced)
but most cases lighroom's regular raw dng is able to give you the same results as google's hdr+ enhanced. see this ocean view. The overexposed sky and under exposed trees are fully restored
when i compared photos from lightroom and default camera app, there's not much difference between processed dng files and HDR+enhanced mode. See screenshots of the ocean - dngs are better in a way that they bring up more details in some shadow areas
more examples will be posted soon. I'm having a problem - I forgot which dng files are untouched straight out of pixel 2, without manual adjustment applied.
Great threat/post, thanks so much! LR on Pixel 2 hdr dng is such a hog, it's unbelievably slow, but I think its the only way to shoot hdr+ dng on the Pixel 2, am I right? I've tried camera nx but while it makes dng files and the previews looks hdr I can't ever get them looking hdr-y, they just look like standard one-shot raw files and no app on windows seems to display tue hdr data, even LR classic cc. Would love some more info / posting on this, and any sample files named with what they are, as I can't tell from a couple of your screenshots.
Thanks so much for this! Have you tried camera nx (7.2 ver works on pixel 2 from december 17, anything more recent crashes on ppening. Also, Manual cam dngs?
