[Q] Any way to disable HTC camera image processing?

Hey guys,
I recently noticed that the One XL camera is doing some post-processing after the image is taken. It sharpens and brightens the photos, but also leaves them looking washed out. I've always thought that darker One XL photos looked a little washed out when posted on Facebook or Instagram.
This is especially evident when using the review feature in the Sense camera. When you take a photo, the one shot being reviewed looks sharp with a good contrast. But if you immediately open the photo that's in the gallery, you'll see the difference immediately.
Now, I'm wondering if there is any way to disable this? It seems to also happen in CM10, so it might be a hardware feature.

What ROM are you running currently?
I've never experienced this to be honest

I was running Newts JB and now I'm on CM10 with the same issue. Did you by any chance try the sequence I explained and notice any difference?

Improved camera samples?

I am considering buying a Mini and I would like to ask, if there was a camera update thats targeting the actual photo quality? I red that there was some functions update, but did this improved the photos? All sample photos I saw on reviews were not much good, so I am interested in this.
Thanks

When I first received my maxx the photo quality was hit or miss. After the initial camera update the quality is very consistent. Just be sure that your lighting is good and your hand is steady. I think that many people expect these tiny cameras to be able to take excellent pictures under any circumstance. This is never going to happen.

Thanks, the camera update is that from Play store or it is a new android build? If so, can this be now taken and not kitkat?

It was the first or second ROM update that came through. The app seems to have added features like the ability to select a point of focus or exposure. That has proven to be a useful feature too.

That's a KitKat feature.

Low light compared to iPhone s4 is still not good.

Here are a few I took today in HDR and not HDR. I think the colors are rich and you can see a lot of contrast.

Hmm there must be compression on this forum. They appear much sharper on my computer.

Interesting would be to try to photo the same scene before and after camera update...

as shipped my moto maxx took horrible pictures. I wasn't on the 4.2.2 camera update long enough to get a good sample, but the pics are much better after the kitkat upgrade (which may have been improvements from camera update)

X users are getting even better low light performance after this last update they got so I would expect the ultra line will also see an improvement soon.

Try Focal camera in play store. May have a few issues but for more tweaking it's nice. Also love aviary for photo editing or snapseed

Moto x Pure Cam update Nice difference !

Anyone agree that the Cam update in play store made a Huge diffenece in focus quality and over all image quality.
To me its way better .

That little focus circle disappeared until you touch the screen, What else changed?

Now on the other hand of you look at blisspop 6.0.1 ROM that camera is even better
All types of modz baked in even jpg quality increase to 100%

Does anyone know of there's a way to make the focus and final picture in settings without having the initial object being the only clear image and not the back ground blurry

How do you update the camera? I'm also on version 5.1.13.12? Or is that the three updated version?

5.1.13.12 is the current version.

Up until now I pressed on the focus button and I took the pic. Now this doesn't work.
Am I wrong?
You now press anywhere on the screen apart from the focus point.
Also by tapping and holding the focus button you can lock focus? Was this there before?

Those are both new features I believe. The new camera update is super nice. I'm even getting pretty good low light photos. I'm shocked.

Agree. The camera update is great! Better even in low light.

Thanks, I was just wondering.
Haven't tried the camera a lot with the new update. I'm eager after these comments about the quality.

How is it updated? Through Play Store?

Yes. If you'll be able to update camera app it'll be able in play store.

Thanks. I haven't actually gotten the phone. Which is weird because I decided to buy it this late in the year. Pretty excited to install the update for the phone once I receive it.
Edit: Just started wondering if the this can be installed on the XT1572 Style..

Hey guys, how is the exposure improved? Other than low light improvement, I sure hope the overblown highlight is fixed as well. The overblowing problem makes its photos less attractive than others.

I already post this camera?

I can corroborate this post!
I checked it out, perfect camera!
Other than HDR+ and photo sphere kind of Google camera specific features, this Moto cam mod is superior to the Google Camera port that we have.

Better try the Oneplus 5 camera mod .. Its good

Yellow flash or normal one?
Also can you fix credits link? There is no such user as @devman

Slow motion video quality is really pathetic, but it's also bad on MIUI so not sure if bug..
2160p video recording at 19fps.

Video 60 fps crash cam

Sample shot with hdr on, overall very nice but colors a bit off, for example wall behind color is almost orange (dark curry) but on pic looks yellowish..

You guys be the judge, the darker photo is from Google camera HDR mod and the lighter one is from this thread.
As said above the colors are a bit off because the clears the photo way too much still I can't complaint it really lights up the pictures, I'm gonna keep both and use Google cam for daylight and this one for night time

Really very good camera app everything is working fine. It struggles a bit to shift focus but really awesome

For some reason it doesn't work for me. It says camera error please restart camera even though I've manually given all the permission... I'm on AOSP 15, someone got any idea why?

You may need to edit the build.prop file and enable the persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 and it will work.

does google camera get dark too? if not, please send me link

Bad selfie camera.

Hi. I think it's no secret that the Find x2 pro front camera is just bad. It struggles to focus in most light conditions, rarely takes decent photos. Tried gcam, still not satisfied.
If anyone is using any fix for selfies like a 3rd party app aur Gcam config, kindly share it. Thanks.

Order a new camera and put it in it

People take too many selfies anyway, we should get away from that.

Seriously, who cares about the front camera? That's why they are at the back of any list, ?
