Bad camera in 4.4.2?

Bad news for me - the camera in the new firmware has become much worse. Greatly increased color noise, noise reduction has become very aggressive. The result is blurred and "dirty". And the camera has become a kind of "click" while focusing.
Good news: Snap Camera appeared ISO setting from 100 to 2400 and HJR. Focus has become a little faster.
Motorola Razr Maxx HD XT926

Just click on my photo and look at the details.
I'll be glad if anyone try to make test photo with Snap Camera or similar software (with better quality than stock Moto camera) before and after update to Kitkat. May be it was just a my mistake - may be i didn't do factory reset after update. But now I'm on 4.1.2 Nexesque again and happy with old camera quality)

I see this on my Wife's M, 442 also.
Get the latest Lenovo Cam in my Moto x page. See My signature.

I use the Google Camera app from the play store. It seems to have pretty decent quality. I also disabled the stock camera app so on the lock screen or when opening up the camera through a shortcut it opens up Google Camera versus the stock one. I'd try that if you haven't yet.

The only thing I don't like about the Google Camera is it won't let me state where to save my pictures. I do not like storing them on the internal memory. At least with the Moto camera, I can store them on the external SD card.

Lenovo is good but no way to save to extSD or OTG as it does on my X. Internal only.

On KitKat my rear facing camera in SnapChat stretches the pictures vertically. What's odd is that it worked fine for the first few pictures. Anyone else have that problem?

Tried to put all *camera* files from /system/lib of old 4.1.2 ROM to new Kitkat. First was /system/lib/hw/camera-msm8960.so and after rewrite and reboot with clearing dalvic i got a fail on start Camera app. Ok, i rewrote all remaining files like /system/lib/*camera* , clear dalvic and made reboot. Now i've got a bootloop)
So, is anybody know how to install all old 4,1,2 camera driver to kitkat?

Is anybody got same problem?

i think it's because your phone cant focus !
try other app with fix focus options

What do you mean - cant focus? I hold the phone, tap "shot" and after green square appears, phone makes the focused photo. On my examples you can see very noisy photos on KitKat, at first.

Any news in, guys?)

It's the Moto G2 camera and it is running great on my Maxx. I'm running rooted stock VZW 4.4.2.
Edit: switched back to stock camera, the Moto G2 camera broke tethering.

2015 phone without gyroscope? Disastrous

I can not beleive it.
Selling

well is not a big loose. at least have NFC that is more usefull then the gyroscope.

No photosphere, no leveler, some games controls take a hit also.

No Google Cardboard VR either.

Not a big deal. I've never had any use of a gyroscope... I don't even feel it's missing.

Starchart is very choppy also, probably becuase of missing gyro

Lol
Screen rotation works fine

The accelerometer does not have the same function as the gyroscope? As gyroscope is used in mobile phone?

At least the compass works?
_____________________________________Read more write less and be smart

A gyroscope is a device that uses Earth’s gravity to help determine orientation.
An accelerometer is a device designed to measure non-gravitational acceleration.

I dont feel the lack of gyroscope. People talks about CB and Photosphere but none of them knows the real functions of gyroscope, get over it guys. Its a great and cheap mobile.

I changed my Nexus 5 for the Moto X play a few weeks ago. Overall, I found a nice change, mainly by the posibility of having external memory, dual sim and a large battery, but, there is no point having a great camera if you can not take photosphere and panoramic pictures. Is there any possibility of emulating this function with any hack???

You don't need gyro to take panoramic pictures, because I have a Moto X Play and I can take pan pictures just fine. No photosphere though (but I don't miss this feature).

Does the built in camera take panorama photos?If yes,how?I don't have that option.If not,what camera app are you using for that?

What about something like Microsoft's Hyperlapse app? Will that work?

I think so, yes. Why wouldn't the app work?

You must be right, but it is uggly that with the google camera app, I had 5 different picture options on my nexus 5 but with the moto x play I just have 3: Camera, Video and Lens Blur. It's not a "neccesary" option, but I miss it.

I thought it used the gyroscope to stabilize the footage. Might be the accelerometer then .

can you port the lg g5 camera

The wide angle camera on LG5 is hardware related so No, it cannot be ported as a zip file..

The G5 has a wide angle lens, meaning it's the actual lens that allows you to do it.. it's not a software thing you can port over. It's a piece of hardware that enables the G5 to do it.

Not until someone makes a zip for you to download more RAM first, that's required for running the wide feature.

i figure it a hardware thing,ok cool thanks

i know the wide feature is a hardware related, but how about the shutter speed and ISO? we can still uses that if we able to port the G5 camera app to this phone right?
pro mode in s7 is nothing compared to what manual mode in G4, so i guess the manual mode in G5 will be much better if somebody can port it, right?
thank you

You can change shutter speed and ISO in the S7 camera app in pro mode.

i know that, but it maxed out at 800 instead of 2700 and 10s instead 30s compared to G4, and i dont like the user interface too. scrolling the settings are much harder compared to G4, its like tiny scrolling using scrollbar instead of mouse roll

Is there any GCMod with motion photo for OnePlus6 now?

I have tried many APKs at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk195 and some others for OnePlus5/5T.
They are not working.
Anyone have a solution for this problem?
THX.

Also didn't manage to find a working app that gives the same quality like I had with gcmod5 on OP3 before yet

MGC_5.2.022 yields pretty good results for me.

Gcam doesn't work properly with SD845 yet.

I though it is suggested setting when u install it.

I think SD845 has been released for a while==
When will we get this feature.

Does MGC_5.2.022 have dots on photos?

m really confused, wheather should i go ahead and buy op6 or should i wait for improved op6t !!
at oneplus experience store, i clicked a lot of pics, but certainly i am not satisfied with the quality which we used to get in op3t !! with a gcam mod. It just blows away. M using IP7 as a spare phone and camera is pretty good, m not a iphone guy. hopefully someone find out to make camera better. specifically, portrait mode ported from google pixel 2 ! fingers crossed.

Any version of Gcam I tried doesn't work on the 6. HDR+ seems to be nonfunctional. Maybe it really just isn't compatible with the SD845

It is not working.
After selecting model. either Pixel or Nexus and restart the app, it pops up with error.
If you do not select any model, HDR just don't running.

Maybe after the Pixel 3 release.

With SD 845 doesn't work HDR+; so it's usefuy, for now.

I got Urikills version of gcam to process the HDR+-shot twice. After that, no go. Tried to reproduce but cant make it happen. Settings were Pixel / Nexus 6 auto hdr+ / super fine.
Just saying that there is hope.

Tried the new GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V3.apk today. Instant crash

Request to any P40 owner

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:

Yes its back..

Thank you, very much.
How frustrating.
Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

Global or Chinese? Which Version?

I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114

Never mind - Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps.
Here's what I captured:

Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days
Sent from my SM-F907B using Tapatalk

First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.
