Compare WP7 Device Camera Features + Requests - Windows Phone 7 General

ive seen people talk about some anti-shake feature and i was looking my htc mozart up and down and couldnt find it. now some days later ive read some more and it seems not only each brand got its own exclusive software for wp7 they also have exclusive camera features.
so i think its time to see which one got what feature and whats missing and why, maybe we also find a way to change that.
please provide info about your camera app like:

[Q] Desire camera Tweak...!

i dont know if any of you have noticed or not ,,desire camera quality is not as good as Samsung galaxy s or any other 5mp camera phones....!!
-so if there is any tweaks for camera settings ,please let me know
-thank you
Use Vignette or Camera 360. Makes a huge difference.
both vignette and camera 360 are great but wont allow you to adjust the camera image processing settings
i'm getting excellent results with the HTC camera
first and foremost lower the sharpness in settings to -2, this will disable all the heavy edge sharpness and noise suppression applied by default and you will get proper photographic quality, this way you can leave adjustments like sharpness (if needed) to other apps like photoshop or picsay, i also raise the saturation to +1 for more vibrancy
you need to set the compression quality to high, i leave everything else to auto, except metering set to center area and of course highest resolution choose 4x3 aspect ratio if you want full mega pixels
one final thing in auto the htc camera chooses the lowest possible iso and hence a little sensitive to movement try to be still for a second when you shoot a photo
as for video recording 800x480 preforms great in good lighting it gets you 25fps, 720p gets around 20fps, unfortunately at low lighting the recording frame rate drops
camera performance is also improved when you are using a2sd (if rooted)
it could be the cheap crappy plastic cover over the camera lens causing your trouble, I removed mine ages ago (replaced it with a cut up screen saver) and it was like removing a cataract from my eye...!

small error fixes that where reported on Google Play
V0.30.27 changes:
Added the live view overlay buttons to new layout
GPS info now also works for Canon JPG and RAW to (only if the image is downloaded to your Android device - capture button is red)
Added BULB mode for custom bracketing (works only on models that support bulb shooting). Works only in M mode and the initial shutter speed must be other then bulb (<= 30 ).
Added battery info icon
Added Image size/format property for Canon (only tested with 650D)
Some fixes and changes for the GPS info handling for images
Stability fixes

Fix for 'Connect to server' button not showing
some small fixes
V0.30.21 changes:
More then one USB camera support (using an USB hub you can now connect more USB cameras and control/switch between them)
Fixed switching between connected cameras (USB or network connected)
Ability to start a capture on all connected cameras (enable it in the 'back' button dialog)
Fix for cameras that have 2 slots (Nikon)
Some fixes that should improve D3100 and D3200 (D3200 should also work)
Fixes for the old live view display
Canon live view should be a bit more faster
Other small fixes
V0.30.20 changes:
D7100 support
WU-1a/1b support (tested with D7100 by me, tested with D600 with a help of a user)
Custom bracketing now works with Canon in M and A mode to
lot of small fixes
V0.30.19 changes:
UI changes, reworked the icons, new colors for button, reworked the dialogs, removed the menu and actionbar as it was more in the way then it helped
image viewer uses OpenCV/OpenGL for rendering the image, JPG are loaded in full resolution so no pixelation when zoomed in (raw files are still processed with half-size because of slow processing in full resolution)
added live view exposure preview, live view white balance, live view selector for Nikon models that support it (they can be find in LV properties layout on right)
added zoom button in live view display (upper left corner - only in OpenCV/OpenGL live view mode) that will display a zoom dialog)
added a BLV button below the zoom button in live view. Pressing the BLV button will save the aperture/shutter speed/iso values. After pressing it those values can be changed at will. Before capture the application will restore the saved values and make the capture with those. If 'return to live view' is enabled the application will restore the BLV values. This is useful for Nikon models that reflect the aperture/shutter speed/iso changes in live view (like D800).
reworked the custom bracketing, now it should choose the right shutter speeds if used in M mode.
increased the manual focus step slider in live view (0 - 1000 now)
other fixes
I still didn't get back the Canon 650D so the custom bracketing is not working for Canon as I can't test it.
V0.30.18 changes:
Added D5200 support
Fixed custom bracketing image capture order - now the capture order is: under exposed - normal - over exposed
Fixed crash if external viewer is used
Fixed image review if camera shutter or remote release is used
Fixed the RPT interval property in Flash commander dialog
Added comment, artist and copyright properties (right panel last button). Not all models support the artist and copyright properties. All 3 can take up to 36 characters
Added focal length display in the bottom bar for cpu-lens.
Added a small DoF calculator. Press the focal length display in the bottom bar.
Added profiles for camera properties, custom bracketing, focus stacking, flash commander (CLS). All use the same dialog. 'New' will create a new profile. 'Save' will save the properties into the current selected profile. 'Load' will load the properties for the current selected profile. 'Delete' will delete the current selected profile.
V0.30.17 changes:
Keep live view aspect ratio (in settings)
Auto focus in live view after focus point change (for now Nikon only)
Landscape mode in both orientation
Next/previous image while in gallery image view (fling left/right)
Image review after image is taken (enable in settings). It will work if you shoot in RAW + JPG or in any of JPG modes
Custom bracketing dialog rework. Now you can select the desired under/over exposure image count. In 'A' mode it will use the EV as in old version, in 'M' mode it will bracket the shutter speed. Displays that EV/shutter speed values that will use for bracketing (for now Nikon only)
Added menu options for connecting to DslrDashboardServer running on OpenWrt
V0.30.16 changes:
I added OpenCV. Durning DslrDashboard first start it will ask you to install the OpenCV manager. After installing it the manager will install the OpenCV client libraries for the Android device.
I added a complet new live view rendering that is implemented in native code using OpenCV and OpenGL. To enable the new rendering go to settings and under live view options enable the 'Use OpenCV/OpenGL for LV rendering' option. In OpenCV/OpenGL rendering you are able to enable various OpenCV filters with the button located in the upper right corner (grayscale, sepia, edge detection, sobel, canny, inverse, etc). Also the histogram calculation and display is done with help of OpenCV. The new rendering should be much faster then the old one (Please test this rendering so I can improve it, with D5000 and 650D works superb here on Nexus 7 and SG2 to).
added focus area selection for Nikon cameras (still needs some work)
added a fix that enabled live view with Canon 7D models
fixed the exposure display view
V0.30.15 changelog (mostly Canon 650D changes)
reworked the capture
added bulb capture (select BULB for shutter speed, press the capture button to start BULB capture, press again the capture button to end BULB capture)
reworked the auto focus (AF now works like if you press halfway the shutter release button, while you holding the AF button the camera is auto focusing, after you release it will stop the auto focus)
added EV value display while the AF is enabled
added proper focus rect display while in live view
added movie recording (thanks to Dave Coffin who showed me how to decode the LV image while in movie recording - while the camera is recording a movie the LV is much slower)
added the focus mode property for the live view and movie recording
custom bracketing (in Av mode)
focus stacking (the Canon 650D only supports 3 steps of focus movement 1 - small, 2 - medium, 3 - large so use these values for the focus step value in the dialog)
time-lapse also works now with Canon 650D
other small fixes improvements
V0.30.14 changelog
Fix for the time-lapse bug
Networking mode - server accepts more clients and switching is possible between the connected clients (server can have a camera connected with usb to)
Initial Canon 650D code - this is work in progress (custom bracketing, focus stacking and time-lapse not working yet)

ps: probably the basic functions will work with other nikon cameras as the program checks what
commands/properties the camera supports(or any camera that supports
the basic PTP commands/properties/events - PIMA 15740:2000
or ISO 15740:2008 - don't have this one as it is to much for my pocket)
I knew after chainfire released one for canon, some one would release one for nikon as well.I own canon dslr so i wont be able test it but kudos to you for releasing one for free.
Wow,its cool. Wonder when its come for olympus. It would be great with pen series
send from my premium XDA GT-P1000 2.3.3|DXJPE
Great work!! Let me know if you want me to test on the D5100.
Any news about this? I need it for my D7000.
OMG..finally someone create something that can combine SGS2 and Nikon Camera.
Unfortunately, I have Nikon D700. I hope you can create similar application for it
Anyway, thanks for your great work thehabos
the app won't boot ! :S
Checked out the sdk's for other models and with some work the other models will work to. The live view part needs most of the changes.
aflatonios:
can you be more specific, what rom u use, what camera u use, do you get the permission dialog, is your camera detected when you turn it on?
I'm on latest lite'ning rom.
before trying to connect the camera (D5k) , the application won't even boot .
in the pics you can see the error and my phone info .

sorry but you need at least 2.3.4 version, i forget to write it in the first post
very interesting!
I have a Nikon D300 .. you think I could use your app with my camera?
yes with some work. the D300 live view data is a bit different then the D5000 (it has no face detection data), and some of the property values differ. Will try to add the needed changes in the upcoming days if you interested in trying it out.
Hmm, where have I seen something similar before... You could have at least picked a name that didn't mimic mine.

The app name is D5kControl and the "Nikon D5000 DSLR Control" simply describes what it does, if you have problem with it I can rename it if you find me a name that describes it and dosn't 'mimic' yours.
Edit:
Actually I have created for myself an unpublished WPF application under same name last year in april, when I buyed my Nikon D5000

Once you got it all down for All Recent Nikon DSLR, you can just name it NikonControl or NDSLRcontrol (lol sounds like NDS control)
Here is what I found out:
it FC and Hangs when I chose Live View function when I put in either Camera Mode or Host Mode.
I already start and stop the service just to try it out, but still does the same thing.
Live View just shows up Black Screen. I notice it puts the camera top LCD says PC mode.
BTW, I am using VillainROM 2.4 KG6
I would love to see this work for my D90 too!
Please one for the D3100... Thx

Very interesting comparison video (X,S,V)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aN4PB7dmSU
all devices are on manual maximum brightness and there's even 2 Sensations in the video for comparision
even if it's in German, check out:
- differences in display colors
- differences in angle of view (1:24)
- difference when focusing on the HTC logo with each device (2:12, 2:35)
- keyboard rotation speed (4:29)
the guy gets some things completely wrong (like different "f" lens values between X and S, 100 pictures in 2 seconds, this beautiful QHD display of the One X....the One S has an OLED display (LOOL) ....and some more pearls....") but you can mute him anytime
LE: they shot an english version as well

Best Setting for PPSSPP Android: Highest FPS, Tested with God of War
If we compare the game-play of different games on PPSSPP Emulator, some games run fine and some doesn’t. Somewhere, it also depends on the hardware of your android phone. But, here is a common Profile Setting to override this problem. This setting has been reached after numerous trial and research on games like God Of War – Ghost Of Sparta, Tekken 6, Chain of Olympus, DBZ Series, Final Fantasy, etc.
GRAPHICS:
Set Mode as Non-buffered rendering. Set Frameskipping as Off as 0. Set Alternate Speed as 0. Set Display Resolution as Native Device Resolution. Set Anisotropic filtering as Off. Set Spline Bezier Curves Quality as Medium. Set Show FPS Counter option as Both or FPS.
AUDIO:
Set Audio Latency as High.
SYSTEM:
Set Change emulated PSP’s CPU Clock as 0. Enable Dynarec (JIT) in Developer Tools
More Troubleshooting Settings to PSP Games in Android Phones Smoothly:
Kikat users can Flash Pureperformances script for better gaming quality. If u see dark screen in some games, then use buffered rendering option. If you feel audio is not clear, then try changing Frameskipping setting as 2 or 3. If you feel any game-play is faster than default, then change Alternative Speed to 0 (Auto) or less. For games like God of War Chain of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta, use Alternative Speed as 200 for better performance and Audio Latency as High. Also use Multi-threaded feature in System menu. Enable Texture Coord Speedhack, if needed, for speeding up. Set Spline/beizzzer curves quality to High or Medium and Prevent Fps from exceeding 60.

Light painting photos

Is there an app to shoot light painting photos in full resolution ? The ones i found can save max at 1920*1080
Use manual mode on stock camera with the following settings:
Shutter speed: 5 - 15 seconds, play around with it to see which works best for you
ISO: 100, will collect as little background light as possible during the long exposure time
If you want, you can try setting manual focus as well, though you'll have to position the target perfectly.
