Does anyone else notice a degradation in picture quality after rooting and putting custom roms on? I remember when I was unroot when I first bought my evo and I thought the camera was great, but lately it's completely washed out by light and can't take a picture without blurring even in good daylight.
I've tried it on 3 different roms, flipz, damage, and nonsense. All fairly similar with being washed out.
Any reasoning or is this known? It's starting to bug me.
I've been on Fresh's ROMs for about a week now, first 0.3 and now 0.5. I haven't noticed a change, but then again I don't use the camera much. I never had really high expectations for the camera anyway since it's just a phone, but I have to admit that it's much better than I expected.

Hey, I have a Hero. I noticed the same thing until I cleaned the camera lens with alcohol and a q-tip. Picture quality improved greatly.

I have a feeling my camera lens shield may be throwing it off.I'm going to clean and remove it to see if that helps

Turns out it was the shield for the camera lens that turned it to crap. I took it off and wiped the lens and its 20x better.
i dont know why they got resized so small. you might not be able to tell at this size but the top one is much clearer

More information
good concept if a bit ugly. The sample photos dont exactly sell it for me. Looks like your heavily sacrificing quality for range
You can get vignetting effect without using vignette
What if phone rings when using this?
Nice thought, but the photo quality looks bad.
I rather have a good quality picture than this type of photo (personnel opinion). But who knows, people might still buy them
You could just crop the picture and have the same image quality.

While in theory it's entirely possible to strap a zoom lens to a camera phone and get good results (i've seen some for iphone that work pretty well), i dont think this product achieves that.
If the photos on your adverts and website (supposedly taken by people familiar with the product and under ideal conditions) look blurry, dark and misaligned then what hope have the rest of us got. Seriously, those pictures look like they've been taken with one of those apps that degrade the image to look like a picture taken with a knackered old polaroid ffs.
Anyone have a green spot on their pictures when they take a pic on a white background? My nexus one had a similar issue but it was a red spot (I think my HD2 had it too) here's a sample

dirt spot
get some windex and clean it up with a nice dustless wipe
Yes I do but not so obvious on my S2 and its yellow , its a defect present on many phones, google for galaxy s 4g tmobile yellow spot. Supposedly Samsung was going to fix it in gingerbread update but they never did!!!
I think cleaning it solved it. I'm not sure because it doesn't always happen (depends what the cameras looking at). thank you
Now I see a SLIGHT pinkish tint. It doesn't bother since I've dealt with it before and its not that big of a deal but that's my experience.

Count me in. I have the same problem. Only on the 8meg cam. The 2 meg is fine. I wonder if different ROM's may effect this.
I have the same issue,it's a pink spot though and turns green at night !
Definitely a camera issue, I clean the lense a it still there. Sometimes pink, sometimes green depend on the light condition.

Ok, so the the title says most of the problem.
Basically, when I got my wildfire a while back I was quite impressed with the camera, managing to take some fairly nice high quality shots.
BUT!
Ever since I rooted my phone and installed CM7.1.0.1, the camera quality has become "washy". This has not been a problem until now, as I have not had to use my camera. But yesterday I did, and the results were.... poor.
So, what I was wondering is whether or not this camera issue is due to a Hardware fault, or a software fault... should I reflash CM7.1.0.1?
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: I will try track down some old photo's and give you a comparison of what has happened to quality.
there are some camera upgrades around that i have read but cannot find anymore if anyone could provide some links that would be much appriciated as i have a poor camera too. very dark and dull with not much definition or coulor and mainly out of focus.
and no i'm not just crap at taking photos lol i think.....

Thanks trying these now... Will update you.
Edit, It's made a little difference:

From the looks of it, I had a similar problem.
Try polishing the camera with some sort of alcohol or something similar, because the lens has some kind of protective layer and might get scratched over time.
So try to remove it, it worked for me

I just got my one x and I have to say the camera is most disappointing, it sucks it's basically unusable. I haven't upgraded my phone for ages the last one I had was the omnia 2, and I would say that one had a simillar camera, just with less useless features.
I don't own another good phone camera so I can't compare but from experience in apple stores, even the iPhone 4 camera is much better. The camera doesn try to focus when you press the shutter you don't even notice when was the image captured its like capturing screenshots from a live video feed instead of a real camera. The colors are oversaturated but if you turn it down a knotch it's undersaturated. 8mp sensor is pointless, the results almost never get better past 1mp. White balance sucks it often gets a purple tint. The live display is also terribly delayed unlike the iPhone 4s. The noise level gets crazy at times, reminds me of the ipad2 camera.
I don't know maybe I'm getting too used to my mirroless camera. I still love this phone though, even if it has no camera.

Please use one of the existing threads about the camera quality, we have already enough of them.
Closed.
Hey guys was pulling an all nighter for school, and decided to take some pictures of the sunrise. The image quality that came out was so grainy, its very disappointing. Has anyone experienced this and if so what are the possible solutions. I was reading about some people with similar issues and they recommended a market app but the app doesn't support 8mp. Some people are saying its the iso exposure but I'm camera illiterate when it comes to that stuff. I'm posting one of the pics and this was one of the better ones out of 10 taken.

Why not post this in the camera pictures thread? You'd get great feedback there.

Because last time I did something like that i got moved to Q and A because it was a question lol.
Fair enough, hope someone helps you out. I don't do much scenery photos but I've taken a couple and they don't come out too bad. I'm assuming you have all things stock in the settings? Didn't try and get fancy? Also case or no case?
I'm not a camera expert, but that looks like a low light setting to me - the lower the lighting, the grainier you get. At least that's always been my experience. Have you tried the "low lighting" option for situations like that ? Don't know how much it would help.
