CM7 Camera low quality - G2 and Desire Z General

I have ILWT cm7 , and i think is the best rom , anyway i do not know but the camera on cm7 rom's sucks a lot. I mean: when i tryed (a lot of time) sense roms , and sometimes MIUI the camera is better , for quality , focus and all.
I would like to have a sense camera on CM7 , i think is impossibile , or someanother solution?
Thanks

Currently on ILWT, and I use the camera a pretty good amount. Haven't noticed their to be much difference (if at all) in picture quality between the CM7 camera on ILWT and Sense cameras (which I used for a long time). I find the MIUI camera near useless (at least the one you have the option to choose in Aroma on ILWT while flashing), due to the lack of selectable ISO.
Have you tried adjusting ISO and white balance? These often will give less blurry photos if you manually adjust them. Both Sense and CM7 cameras take too much time calculating the proper white balance and ISO, resulting in long shutter delay and resulting blur from camera movement.

You can try the MIUI camera app, it is offered as an option in the ILWT.txt configuration file.

I'm running ILWT and much prefer MIUI camera to CM7 camera app. That said I think Sense camera and in particular the one included in the Doubleshot ROM gave me the best results. That is actually the only thing I'm missing from Sense, the very nice camera app.

I totally agree with this.
Actually, the HTC Amaze Cam from the MT4G gave me the best results i have EVER had from my phone. That's the only thing that makes me want to go back to Sense.

You're right - forgot about the Amaze camera app which produced very fine results. Still not enough to make me want to go back to a horribly slow experience.
When one of the Sense 4A ROMs get a working camera I might be intrigued. I flashed one just to try it out and it seemed remarkably smooth compared to any of the Sense 3.0/3.5 ROMs.
Until then, ILWT and MIUI cam it is

Needless to say, it will not make your phone do anything that is not supported by the hardware.
Photos will remain 5MP maximum and the sensor in our phones doesn't support burst mode and other features that is not normally supported.
Also, using the Amaze camera app you are stuck on a Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM that is painfully slow compared to AOSP ROMs.
So far I've landed on ILWT CM7 with MIUI camera app as default.

the xperia rom is fast and uses sense 3.5, I also have the amaze camera running on it, you can change the media_profiles.xml file to have no compression but you will have large photos (3mb) I do notice some difference.
I also removed the plastic cover around my camera and made a glass one, that made a huge difference but it was a pain to do.

Wow, you changed the lens cover? Did you happen to take any pictures of your handywork? I would love to see them in that case

I'm running CoreDroid on Inspire 4g and this Sense 3.5 is running like an aosp. Pacha's sense 3.5 stripped down senseless, I get the same quality. Love cm7 but, sense camera is the best hands down. I've been through so many cameras on cm7 and nothing compares to the sense camera. I've yet to try thee Amaze app. Gonna give that a go now.

Full resolution camera?

Currently, I'm running froyostone and the camera app only displays quality as "3mpx" when in reality the HD2 has a 5mpx one.
Which android build allows full camera quality? Is this the type of thing a new zimage would fix or is it more of a build issue?
It's kind of driving me crazy.... I've built a mostly functional daily use build where everything but the full camera (and WiFi hotspot, which I know is being worked on) is working.
Also, what's the story with 720p video recording? Is the HD2s camera capable of that resolution?
If anyone would like to see the steps I took to make my daily use build, a tutorial is on my website but as a new user, I am unable to post links.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There are already builds with the full 5MP camera working (mattc nexusleo, for example).
Obviously the Leo's camera is able to take 720p videos, and in theory even 1080p, in fact 1920*1080 is something like 2MP... The problem is in codecs and CPU usage, but soon we'll have 720p as the N1 and the Desire have.. And probably we'll never see 1080p because it's too big to calculate proprely for the CPU, and it would take too much space on the SD, too...
mattc NexusLeo v1 has the camera working perfectly at 5mpx.
I don't want to use no sense ROM anymore. The interface is very crude.
Is there any solution for HTC sense ROM with 5MP camera?

Each to their own, but I think the Android 2.2 interface with LauncherPro is superb.... I am fed up with the HTC Sense look, its like WinMo (and I am not going back there again! !!! )
If you are willing to pay for an app then vignette will not only give you full resolution but will give you a much more robust camera app with a ton of features and much better jpeg compression

Best Camera APP?

I remember coming from the Touch Pro, that it had some sort of Sport Mode, were it take about 5 pics at the same time.
Is that possible with our Hero?
What Camera App is Better than the Stock One?

Vignette has kind-of like a shutter feature. Check it out.
camera360 is my personal fav
I have tried both vignette and camera 360 both are great apps i like the interface of camera 360 more myself and went with that one. It takes amazing pictures. The difference from the stock camera in CM6 and camera360 is night and day even though the hardware is the same.
The stock camera always produced blurry photos which is why i started looking for something better and i found it. I use my phone as my job-site camera, my internet access, and of course my phone. once i switched to camera360 my project manager jokingly said he could see the ants crawling up the building from 100 ft away.
Test them both out though your preferences may be different. you can always return the one you don't like.
BTW loving CM6 for hero. It makes my hero functional. I use to waste so much time waiting on stock sprint and Sense UI to finish lagging.

Sense Camera vs Stock Camera

Is it just me or does the camera on HTC Sense seem better than the stock Android one?
And also which one produces better quality images?
Are u running a sense rom or just comparing a sense phone to a stock?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I'm comparing Virtuous to CM 6.1.1 both stock cameras on each rom.
Image quality they should be about equal. I think I prefer the Sense camera though for the sounds alone. I HATE the focus and shutter sound on the stock cam. Wish I could find an APK for the DZ 1.72 cam that works on CM6.1.1

Ah, good to point out. Sometimes the picture previews in some programs aren't full resolution to cut down on processing times, delays, etc.
Is anyone able to confirm this? I also think they may look a little bit better in Sense but I must admit that when I viewed them using another image viewer afterwards they looked about the same. Didn't pay enough attention to make a qualified report though.
Best way to test would be to just put both the sense pic and the stock pic on your computer.

Camera App Q

I would like to know what is a good camera to replace the stock camera app. So what do you guys use. Free or paid.

Camera360 Ultimate is pretty cool allowing you to trigger with the screen and not just the optical button as well as having cool photo options.

Im not sure what camera cm uses but I love that one. It may it may or may not be stock, I can't remember the stock camera app anymore, but if its stock I couldn't imagine needing to upgrade. Its got a ton if options like filters, exposure, contrast and sharpness as well as the ability to choose the quality and mp of your shots. You can also overlay effects before taking pictures. And you can take pics with the touch screen...so yea, whatever camera app that comes with cm6/7 is a great one.

Hey guys,
Here's the Camera.apk extracted from CM6/7. The one from CM6 will FC and the one from CM7 won't install on Sense ROM (FR).

Best Camera for Custom ROM

hey guys, just wondering if you guys can list your recommendation for best alternate camera on R4P when using a custom rom (LOS, RR, etc)?
Biggest annoyance for me i've noticed is "shutter lag"; the viewfinder tends to pause and i have to wait before i can take the next picture. Which doesn't really happen with the default MIUI camera.
I've tried a couple, open, snap, htcfix, but yet to find one truly that's smooth. Any recommendations?
The cyanogenmod camera that comes stock with mokee/los seems to be working best for me. Have tried a bunch of camera apps and they all either have a ****ty UI or are functionally deficient in some way. Google camera would be great (love that HDR+) but it crashes when switching to video mode.

Yeah.. not sure why it is but the shutter lag just really kills me. I'm half tempted to go back to MIUI just for the camera. Best one for me i've tried so far is the HTC one.
Guess have to wait and see if Camera2 api makes any difference

I use Open Camera, it has a lot options to customize camera behaviour. I like it's UI.
Has anyone of u tested new ported MIUI camera on custom rom? i dont own anymore r4p but i see lot of u still have trouble with camera and recording.
