I havent had time to fully test the cyanogenmod rom for the EVO yet and I know a lot of people really love the extra features added to it. My question is what are those features not available in other roms or sense roms?
Well you have great features that NO other ROM can do! Such as no more 4G. No more FM Radio! Camera quality is lessened. But my personal favorite is no more HDMI output. But all those aside...it makes your phone...well...kinda faster? Something like that.

while all those features are no there [and not missed... I have 4g and still take cm6 over anything else]. the overall performance and feel of your phone is night and day. give it a shot... you'll probably have a hard time going back

really? hdmi is your biggest gripe? it sucked anyway. maybe it's better now since they officially uncapped the fps. and um "kinda faster" lol that's a good one
The easiest way to answer this question is to just flash it and try it out. We could sit here and type everything out for you but that wouldn't be any fun!
Give it a try. Don't let others sway your judgement.

The camera quality is the same with CM6.
Cm6 is all open source.. not everyone appreciates the hard work that goes into it. HTC's Sense is removed so it doesn't hog your system memory. My favorite thing is that the wiimote app works allowing me to play video game emulators with a wii-remote. I work nights soo I got to pass time..

Is this really still the case after HTC unlocked the fps in the most recent update? I use 4g every so often myself so i'm not entirely ready to try switching to CM6 myself, but trying to keep an eye if there is something that makes it outweigh having 4g.

i have no desire to bog my hone down with sense so i haven't even checked out the new ota. at some point i'll load it up just to have a nand of the newest stock rooted rom
first of all i want to thank everyone that contributed to CM6, and the team most of all.without them a lot of things would not be possible.
CM6 is awesome but it needs an awesome camera. WE have a 8-MEGAPIXEL BEAST OF A OPTICAL SENSOR WHY NOT TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF IT? lets face it the camera was not designed for the evo. it was ported to work. Not designed around it to REALLY take full advanage of the sensor. How about we change that? how can I contribute to that?
weehooherod said:
I completely agree, the Sense camera is so much better than the cm6 camera.The touch to focus effect on the cm6 camera is worthless yet it is so awesome on the sense camera.

yes we need this topic to be of great importance. because i have tried all the camera apks from just about all different types of roms... nothing compares to the sense camera
Hey guys, I'm looking for tips in how to improve picture a quality with the dinc. My pictures look washed out and just generally not as good as I feel they should. I'm running stock 2.2, I've reduced the sharpness and that seems to have helped a little. What settings do you run? Also is there a way to add panorama ability? Thanks!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Even though this is a older topic and no one has replied, i would like to know also...
My d1 takes way better pictures then the dinc. I have played around with the settings and haven't had any luck.No matter what they all look washed/blurred out pictures.
use a rom with 720p
I am using miui rom.. not sure if its 720? what roms have it? The list on here donest say what the camera is.
check out the sense roms,aosp doesn't have it cause of the source code however if you want cm you have to go old school with cm6 for 720

So I am assuming that most of the popular ones will be updated to the 720p, like cm,miui etc?
Also what are some good suggestions for sense roms?

Yep, I would just give em a bit of time to play around with the source to make it work though. And I'm not too sure about the Sense ROM question. I haven't had Sense for more than a day since like January lol. I'd try out a 3.0 or 3.5 ROM from Joel, I always hear good things about them.

Steve if Cm gets upgraded to 720p and you can think of it. Could you chime in here and update me?
Thanks!
I might as well chime in on my now ancient thread.
The answer is - flash a new rom. I finally grew a pair and put Nils' business ginersense 3.0 on my phone (3.5 isn't ready as a daily driver imo). It's freaking awesome. I now have panorama, hdr, exposure settings and many other options. I'm not sure that the quality of the pic changed much, but overall I'm extremely pleased. This is a much better result than using cam360.
Hey,
I know this is not a huge thread or the most useful ever, but i didn't wanna swarm threads with potentially irrelevant info.
But anyways, the camera improvements are great. You used to have your frame focused and the shutter came too long after the focus so you often had blurry pictures. Now you actually notice that it refocuses at the exact moment of the shutter (obviously "exact moment" is somewhat an expression). That alone improves the quality by a ton and most likely what they refer to when saying they fixed "stabjlity".
So after you flash to 4.0.4 don't fear to use your camera anymore!
I assume all the camera quality improvements will be present in the latest CM9 nightly based on Android 4.0.4 as well?

Thanks for this. I wonder if there's anything in the update that'll improve the graininess of the pics.

I use AOKP 29, and any AOSP based 4.0.4 should have similar core improvements. So yes, your assumption is right

The graininess does also seem to have major improvements. Overall the quality is A1. I dont wanna risk it and say its like iphone pictures but it sure as hell is one step closer.
This just got me excited...I use my camera a lot. I was going to hold off on upgrading to AOKP 4.0.4 build until they added everything back in but maybe I will make the jump quicker. Post some bad lit pictures up in the picture thread please and specify it is on 4.0.4 please. I am sure a lot of people would be interested to see these...
wow, the camera is muuuch better. is like they discovered how to focus propertly
The yellowish issue when using the flash seems to be gone too.
After testing further I have to say my only complaint is that the shutter speed is not constant, as in sometimes it will take the picture instantly and sometimes it will lag a little (not because of focus)
I still wish there was a way to batch delete photos.

Long press on a photo while in the Gallery and then you can choose which ones you want to delete and delete them!
Lol what? Batch delete has been around since at least Eclair, if not earlier.
A comparison could be great
I've taken a couple of shots and while it's too early to say, I think it's improved.
To be honest a comparasion would be somewhat hard to do. And also... why... Its better, its not really gonna change anything, its not like comparing 2 equivalent and different products.

I think there is. Just long press a pic till a checkmark appears. Then press each other pic you want. Menu, delete.
Has anyone else notice that the camera volume is really loud and there's no way to turn it down other than completely off? Has it always been like this? I thought it use to correspond to notification volume.

O seu atualizou via OTA?
Do you have update via OTA?
So far I see more aggressive post processing correction of white balance on flash shots. Way less blue tint after processing. Also night scene mode usable for macro shots since it focuses on near objects much better. Will experiment more but so far just these two makes it much more usable for me.
Seems to focus a lot faster for me while not being blurry at all.
That's a definite improvement if I'm seeing it right.
One of my main reasons for having the GN (I prefer a keyboard phone) is the responsiveness of the camera. My GN's camera has zero shutter lag running the stock rom rooted with faux123's kernel. When I run custom roms the camera picture taking is slower.
To be clear, the camera is NOT SLOW ON A CUSTOM ROM. It is simply not immediate in the way that it is on stock. Thus far, I have run MCR, Liquid Smooth and CM9 Nightlies. None of them had the camera speed of stock. I may be doing something wrong though. Thought I'd ask before simply sticking with stock rooted.
I'd like to have quick access to settings and other features that a custom rom offers but I absolutely need the camera to be instantaneous as it is on stock.
Any advice?
TIA
It was something they broke on 4.0.3 and fixed in 4.0.4 so try a newer ROM running 4.0.4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Thanks for a fast reply on that. Will give that a go.
Edit: Tried out Liquid and it is really so much slower than stock camera. It focuses for a full one to two seconds before the shutter activates and that kinda delay won't work for me. I'll try some other 4.0.4 roms and see if they do any better this go round. If not, back to stock 4.0.2 until they figure out this data drop bug then stock 4.0.4. I gotta have the instant shutter.
Well, tried several more roms and they all have the focus lag. So I'm back to stock. It's weird to me. Seems that they would at least be the same. Wouldn't necessarily expect a custom rom to be faster in that dept but slower? No matter. Stock android on a Nexus is satisfying enough. I need the instant camera. Thanks again.

Well its the difference between AOSP and the OTA. They are very similar, but still different. That's a perfect example, but 4.0.4 was supposed to improve the shutter speed and make it focus faster.
AOKP ftw. I have the same qualms and AOKP has always been incredibly quick with the camera. I'm running MIUI rom right now and it does take that extra fraction of a second or whatever to focus but I deal I was running AOKP M4 and Franco's M2 (and later his nightlies - don't remember if any were better than the other) and it would capture so quickly that I had to double check my little previous preview window to see if it snapped.
I think on all 4.04 the camera is slower because it allows the camera to focus and take a better pic while before it wouldn't focus if you didn't click manually and would take pic right away. Sometimes this would result in worse quality and I believe that's why they changed it in 4.04.
Could be wrong though..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Typically I find the first pic is slower while it focuses but sequential shots are instant.
Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
AOKP is just as slow. I'm looking at a fresh install of AOKP right now. It's the touch to focus feature all the custom roms have. Makes the camera so slow focusing (and again, when I say so slow, I mean slower than stock which is instant). Stock is the only option I guess. Unless, that is, one of the roms has the option to disable touch to focus. Is there one?
As for what player911 is saying, this is true. The first pic is slower focusing and sequential pics are faster. IF you basically don't move the camera. If you recompose the shot, move around, the camera will do the focusing dance all over again. I have a 20 month old. I need the first shot. AND I'll be moving around, lol. The custom roms just don't cut it in this regard. I've never had a phone where the stock software was decent enough to the point that I'd even consider not going custom but the GN running Android without Touchwiz/Sense/Blur is just awesome and I can definitely live with it. Plus I have my instant camera!!
Back to stock I go.
Thanks folks.
This sounds ridiculous to me. Yes, it does take 1-2 seconds for the first shot to focus, but then all sequential shots are instant. That is the point. So you want to have really blurry photos all the time and have it never focus, even though you're getting an instant first shot? That doesn't make sense to me.
Actually, the camera focusing is something I would like. Sure, the instantaneous thing is nice, but I'd rather a clear picture. Maybe a custom rom could offer the option to switch between the different ways the camera operates (like one option focusing before the first shot the other like it is before .4)?
OP, once on stock 4.0.4, you will see the camera actually focuses.... What you are describing is the behaviour on stock 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 roms
Point camera at subject, allow it to focus on its own, take picture. Just as fast as the 4.0.2 camera if not faster
Sent from my francoPhone
4.0.4 the camera is much better. First shot takes half a second or less to focus, and most of the shots after that are instant if you take them quickly enough.
The quality of the pics is much better now as well.
On 4.0.2 all the pics came out blurry or double vision. Now they are sharp and clear.
The first shot is only blurry if you can't hold the camera steady. I can.
As for 4.0.4 camera taking less than a second to focus, it just isn't true in my experience. I used half a dozen 4.0.4 rims last night to be sure. Why would I want to be rooted and on stock rom if this wasn't truly the case???? Who would want that?
Think about it....

So because it is not true for you, it must be false for everyone else?
Nice logic....
You need optimal light conditions for quick focusing. I focus in a second or less, and each shot after that is instant.

I asked for help finding the fastest camera because I want to catch photos of my son. People gave suggestions, I tried them and they weren't faster FOR ME. I said and clicked thanks for the suggestions. What's the problem here? You've got too much time on your hands. Leave me alone if you can't be helpful.
Focusing is almost instant on 4.0.4. Way better than previous versions of ICS for me.
