There are a lot of apps on the market that does post processing on the photos. I remember seeing the color saturation control on most of them.

[Q] Best all around camera settings

I have been having some issues with the autofocus either focusing too much or not enough as well as some of the photos not coming out as good as they should be. I read somewhere that a lot of that could be fixed by adjusting the settings. So what settings do you guys have your HTC One X camera settings set to for best all around pic n shoot?

I turn off face detection. Seems more responsive that way.
Everything else I leave the same

^ this
but I also have sharpness set to -1.

saturation -1 seems to give more realistic colors on mine

I knock down exposure to -1 when outside, seems to overexpose a little in hard light.

saturation -1 didn't like the look of the other recommended settings.

I have noticed that too. In bright sunlight, sometimes faces get blown out (overexposed).

[Q] Camera Quality Question

Ok so i switched over to the One X from the Galaxy S3 for 4 main reasons, 1. When HTC finally is up to date with the source codes, this phone can most likely beat the S3, 2. The screen shows colors and looks a lot better, 3. The build quality over the S3, and 4. The camera. But after some use the camera isnt all that i was expecting unless im missing something, to me the camera doesnt seem as good as the comparison pictures and the pictures i havet taken with the S3 and One X. Any ideas on how to improve the camera capture quality?

Reduce saturation levels by -1.
Otherwise, pink seems like vibrant red and distorts a lot of colors.

For best quality use a custom ROM with the HQ camera mods that disable compression on the jpg and up the bit rate on the video.

This will not fix the pathetic default color settings nor will it fix the incorrect calibration of the preset white balance options. I must say that as nice a phone as the hox is the camera is a rather disgraceful dud and an egg in their face. As pointed out earlier reducing saturation by -1 take the state of the camera from useless (skin looks like cooked shrimp) to merely atrocious. HTC really needs to fix that pronto, and the problem is somewhere in the demosaicing and color conversion algorithms.

I love the camera on the One X.

Has someone developed a GAMMA ADJUSTER that works with Note 10.1?

I love being able to adjust the gamma on my pc to make blacks darker. Has anyone figured out how to do this for Android yet? My one big knock on the Note 10.1 is that blacks look kind of gray to me.

For anyone interested I have noticed that the Maxthon HD browser does blacks better than most.

Funny how something as simple as gamma adjustment seems to be the third rail of Android. What makes this so difficult?

Customise Active Notifications

I'm seriously considering getting an X to replace my broken Optimus G (Nexus4's big brother).
Something I haven't seen in my lurking through these forums or reviews online is whether you can change the colour for Active Notifications. For example,is it possible to make them red instead of white (mainly art night)?

I'm driving but I bet if you extract the apk you may be able to alter the image files. That's a total guess though.

It's possible in the app "active notifications"(search Google play for it), it's a clone of moto x's feature

Ah, found Dynamic Notifications in the Play Store that supports changing the colour. Nice. Thanks.

Should be noted you won't get particularly good battery though. The native Active Display is tied with hardware integration with the special cores. Using a 3rd party app to accomplish this doesn't use hardware integration--thus, it will kill your battery faster. Just an FYI.

True. I'll be sure to test with both versions to see if colour optimizations affect the battery enough to be worth it.
