Hi all,
I have searched forum regarding photo quality, and i have seen recommendations like removing plastic(CCD shield) from the back of the phone, but i am not interested in mechanical modifications.
is there any difference in picture quality when taking photos with various HTC Desire(bravo) roms?.....or all of them output same JPG quality compression?.
Thank you in advance
Personally, did not notice any difference.
Only that the audio recording is miles better with videos on HD Roms (default camera app).

thanks for the response mate,
so your recommendation would be HD rom to Regular HTC desire, because of improved audio quality.
Any particular rom in your experience you noticed better audio?
cheers
When the early HD/Z ROMs came out and I flashed them, I seemed to have at least some camera quality issues with my device, especially in low light situations. However, the overall quality was still good. Not great, but more than acceptable.
I think if there was indeed an issue with the camera, it has in the meantime been fixed - and indeed with my current Z ROM I don't notice any difference at all. I use Cool Z.
Have fun
was the quality better than with stock HTC rom?
btw: low light situations require you to change to higher ISO level, but that is a trade off, because you will get more noise in the photo....i always try to take a shoot with ISO 100, when possible.

Insertcoin for sure, but all HD/Z ROM ports should have it. But strangely it does not affect the 720p recording (still sh*tty sound). Checked my mate's DHD - same issue, every other option records with great sound, but 720p is 8khz mono.
Recommend using LGCamera if you want to shoot in 720p with HQ audio.

Guys
I have had HTC phones for a long time and generally beed happy eith them .
This in not true with my new DHD.
I have alist of issues and want to know if they are hardware or software.
Rubbish speaker - much more tinny then Hero
Low volume - less the Hero
sometimes no volume
can record HD video but cant play back on phone
now video app bombs out when trying to record HD video.
HD recording is atrociuos
My girlfriend got the samsung galaxy S ( smaller hands- smaller phone)
and its much better, even plays flv
Could this be a Hardware fault or have peeps managed to resolve this with different roms?
Your help is much appreciated
The quality of the speaker is hardware caused. Nothing you can do about it expect not using it. Seriously, I think it's not meant for listening to music with it. I always use headphones or my PC to playback video.
The volume is low, I was also very disapppointed with it especially as I was almost unable to listen to audiobooks while being outside with my headphones even though volume was to 100 %. Good news is, there's a solution: Get a custom ROM like Revolution HD. It boosts the volume. I also got 16 Ohm headphones and now I have the volume down to 30 % where before 100 % wasn't sufficient.
Of course for flashing a custom ROM you need to root/s-off your phone. But there are 1-click apps for this fortunately.
And for playing flv, I never tried it but there will surely be an app that can do it. Same for HD playback.
But you have to consider, even though your girlfriend's phone plays HD the display still doesn't support HD resolutions same as the DHD doesn't. So the video will have to be scaled down. But I'm pretty sure there are apps for that problem as well.
So bottomline, the speaker quality and HD recording quality is something you have to live with. All else can be dealt with by apps/ROMs.
And if you're really not satisfied, you might consider returning the DHD and getting a Galaxy S. Both are great phones and it can well be you'll like the Galaxy more.
RockPlayer plays pretty much every format FFmpeg can decode. Sometimes it is a bit buggy though, like sound out of sync, but nothing major. I suggest you give it a try.
There are thousands of flash players on the market that can play flv.... and there is not one phone in the world with the screen resolution for HD playback. lol

I read that it won't play the HD recorded video back very smoothly because of the cheap and slow SD card they give you with the phone.
Try a faster good quality SD card, Class 6 should work better.
can i get 720p recording at 30fps on desire
i m tired of this **** never gives above 10-15 fps
in day time in bright light it might give 20-24fps....but still audio is out of sync and **** like tht
i know desire reduces frame rate to prevent picture from turning grainyin low light especially at night.
even under bright tubelights i get 10fps nothing more than that.
also light constantly keeps on flickering...the light sensors further reduce the frame rate
bad thing is that even after 1.5 yrs after the release of desire....HTC didnt do anything to fix this in the gingerbread
i have tried stuff like setting ISO to 800 and increasing exposure levels to increase fps but still its not good enough
some of th expert developers out here have been able to do the impossible and bring stuff on the desire which is unbelievable...
but i seem to find no one who has been able to fix the camera on desire...
plz guys look into this....
can the camera app be tweaked to make it record at constant 30fps...
can the variable fps be fixed .
i dont care if quality drops or not....coz who cares if u get quality which is not watching
i dont mind grainy images but i want 30fps....can the developers do some tweaking/??coz i know the hardware is there to handle
do this:
-change the desire camera with a better one
-change the desire gpu with a better one
-write the correct drivers and kernel to handle the news parts
and thats it...
or just keep in mind this phone is not capable to make great hd video.
so u say its a hardware problem????
also is the hardware on other HTC phones like sensation and desire S the same???
I heard these phones also suffer from same bad fps in low light problem
Desire S - has Newer SoC, Single 1Ghz CPU, but Adreno 205 GPU - it makes very good 720p videos, but with lower FPS (but not below 23 in low light) - My roommate has it and it is miles better, than my Desire.
The Sensation has even newer SoC - Dual-core 1.2 GHz and Adreno 220 GPU - I tested my collegues device, and it had no struggles even with 1080p in low light.
that you have an hardware problem is my opinion, too

Like everyone with this device.
so is it worth upgrading???
i am looking forward to HTC amaze...
I hope it doesnt suffer from lower fps problem
(also fps not lower than 23fps in low light does not sound bad)
now i am confused whether I should go for droid RAZR,galaxy S2 or galaxy nexus...
i liked HTC for HTC sense...now with all these devices receiving Ice cream sandwich....
i am thinking UI will be same for all....so confused
You can try the recording on cyanogenmod 7. I think the 720p framerate is a bit better.
Hello! I have mega trouble, because I want to buy new phone. My current phone is Sony Xperia SP. Since the new phone I demand smooth operation, good quality camera and good speaker. I hesitate because I do not know which phone plays louder and who has a better camera. I read that HTC has a problem with noise during recording and it made me very worried. Nor do I know that your phone better talking. I always wanted to have a HTC, but now in the current situation, I was a little offended. My situation is that I have no choice other phones.
Thanks and I greet they all

i had s4 and bought htc now. Let me put it in short story:
s4:
- **** laggy software
- great camera
- bad sound system
- nice colorful screen, but small
- good that buttons are not on screen
- removable battery
this htc:
- great super fast software
- colorful screen, little difference to s4, s4 has more aturated colors
- big screen
- bad that buttons are on screen
- super great speakers
- no removable battery
- nice power saving options
- super fast procesor-64 bit, which is the ffuture of processors and will be even faste in android 5.0
This is it for now. If you dont mind big phone and you want great performance, then definitly but htc. If you want crappy housing smaller phone, with better screen and camera, than buy s4. But s4 is realy outdated. Ask more if you want
Thanks! You say that the HTC plays better than samsung, you can estimate how much?
The battery keeps better in HTC?
How does the quality of calls on both phones?
Do u you there is noise on recordings from a microphone?
Thanks! You say that the HTC plays better than samsung, you can estimate how much? Yes, htc has 2 front speakers, s4 has one small on the back
The battery keeps better in HTC? Yes, you even have power saving mode, and i dont see any difference in performance with power saving on or off, just more battery
How does the quality of calls on both phones? hmm, dont know realy, i dont talk much. Didnt notice any diff
Do u you there is noise on recordings from a microphone? not realy, tried to record myself and not problems
It reminded me of another question. If you are using throttling phenomenon occurs?
Hi
I want to buy LG G3 32GB version that has 3GB RAM
please help me out with my problem here my priorities are :
1. best performance for gaming
2. best sound + screen quality for watching movies
3. best camera for scanning documents + taking pictures
4. ideal development state
5. best battery lifetime
but before all of these I want the longest and best lifetime a device can offer cause im gonna have this phone for about 2 years till i change it again.
so based on my priorities and the fact that i will most definitely root and use custom kernel/roms and tweaks can this device offer me the best lifetime and least issues !?
Does it heat up really bad when playing games and recording with camera with the new updates and etc ?
How is the camera quality ?
How is the sound and audio quality ?
Are there any real issues with screen and its battery drain and heating up ?
Are there issues that I must be concerned with before buying ?

It does, but not that bad. Then thermal control kicks and the lag becomes noticeable.
Great camera, but only in stock roms.
Sound clear, but not to loud.
Some units have to much glue and yellow spots appear on screen. Most are fine. Amazing screen with great viewing angles and natural, desaturated colors.
Before buying this or another phone, remember that lollipop is a mess right now. Multitasking is awful. There are some important bugs in g3's lollipop.
You should read through this forum, because everything you asked is actively debated.
If money is no problem, then G4 might be better for you.
Hi i loved LG G4 and that it had LG V10 camera ported to it.
Now i understand that different brand and all but is there a way to port LG V10 camera to HTC phone?
Im mainly looking at manual exposure in video mode because even after all these years HTC video recording is terrible because of framerate.
Whenever i record video in lowish light i get like 20 fps video looks terrible and laggy even tho sensor on this phone is big and can do stable 30fps in low light with a little higher iso because i also have LG V10 with smaller sensor and higher resolution which means much smaller pixel and in manual mode in same scene i put video exposure time at 1/30th or even 1/60th with iso at 600 and i get little noise while being buttery smooth.
Now this has been issue with HTC from OG days and is there a mod or port that i dont know about that can let me control exposure in video mode and i dont mind separate app for that since im using gcam for photos and get some of the best pictures ive ever seen on smartphone,even compared to latest smartphones its in top 3 definitely.
Now back to video,ive seen snapdragon camera and other,none of them does anything to video framerate.
Is there a way to set lowest exposure to 1/30th so that phone does not drop framerate do raise exposure and lower iso.
I personally dont mind grainy video in lower light but man recording campfire i dont need nightvision but for some reason phone tries so hard that it blows highlights and gets laggy as hell.
Some config mods,api mods,apk mods anything to adress this issue,i would be alfa tester for some mods if anyone has time to tinker with it,im more of hardware guy,repairing phones and modding cooling,thermal paste and pads mod,etc.
Software? Not my kind of skill.
So if someone else has some advice or existing mod i havent seen yet let me know i would gladly try it.
Sorry for typos or mistakes typing this on a phone without auto correction
Cheers and thanks in advance

Highly doubt anyone is willing to put in the work to port an LG camera app at this stage of the 10 (2015 flagship) but I cannot speak for others.
I also don't really use my camera outside normal shots so I don't have good experience with vid framerate, etc.
I will suggest that you try out the Google camera ports if you haven't already.
I have tried gcam for video but its terrible compared to stock,in gcam video recording i get stuttering an what not.
I know old phone custom development is over.
Also how it that there is no some universal camera that can use those core features available on other phones.
Unless LG uses some sort of asic for camera but i doubt it since LG V10 camera can be ported on other LG phones like G4.

Sorry wish could help more.
Gcam is the best ull see for non-sense ROMs.
There's many ports and settings you've played with that? Like changing from nexus to pixel.

I have tried other mods and setting but in any case when i pan camera its stuttery on gcam and didnt try gcam in low light tho.
Only thing i need basically is ti limit minimum fps to 30 because it drops to 20 or so in low light and panning from lets say bright window to darker room suddenly video looks blurry and smeared because of shutter speed.
Im on custom rom Leedroid using Elementalx kernel not overcloked or underclocked.
Any ideas what to try,its not professional camera i know and i dont shoot movies with infact i dont shoot maybe 2 times a week short video and i eork ina gaming club where light is dimm and sometimes some promo video needs to be recorded for social media and it looks terrible and overexposed even tho ist dark cause camera is launching shutter speed into the sky to make up for low light.
I used professional camera in full manual mode to record conferences and things like that and shutter speed half of frame time like 30 fps max exposure 1/30th but you put it to 1/60th to make video look smooth as,and only change ISO and aperture to change how bright shot is.
In any case any kernel api config profilesxml file to change that because i have LG V10 and with that things manual camera i can do wonders for video cause at the end of the day best camera is the one that you have with you all the time,amarite?
Thanks for the answer tho u will try some other ports and test just in case i missed something.
I only used apk ports,do i need flashable zip for better and more stable ports?
Any android camera experts out there feel free to add some smart teach heavy solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Looking now at gcam video it is less smeary but when recording starts it hicups every second or so.
Any setting to change in dev settings of camera?
And sorry for typos in ally posts i type on the go without autocorrect,what can i say i live my life dangerously

Not the guy to ask.
Maybe one of these threads after a quick search.
Could be better threads, but thb I've probably used this camera like 30 times max since May/2015 lol so safe to say I don't take many pictures or vie.
Hope this helps.
