im on att and just picked up the infuse. it is a very nice phone if maybe too little too late but my captivate and the i9000 have a better camera app. though the infuse has a bright led flash i felt that the captivate night mode took better dark pictures because the flash leaves a very unbalanced exposure level and funky color balance. i was wondering if the epic has a fully featured camera like the i9000 with night, backlit, fireworks,and other modes? i would use the i9000 camera but dont want to lose support for the flash. i dont mind losing 8mp mode, though im not sure i want to lose 1.3 mp mode on the ffc. the ideal situation would be a galaxys2 camera app but i dont know how to mod the apk to install on 2.2.1.
would installing the camera app from the epic give me the modes i am looking for? and has anyone ported the sgs2 camera over to 2.2.1? i know it runs on the sgs w/ 2.3.3 so im sure it's not impossible.
I'm pretty sure some of the phones have different sensors. The Captivate, i9000 and epic probably have the same back facing cameras. The i9000 and epic probably have the same FFC's. I'm pretty sure the infuse and Galaxy S2 have newer sensors that support 1.3mp on the FFC and 8mp on the back camera. I don't think it is a software patchable feature.
As far as the modes go, where should I look in the camera app?
edit: on Syndicate Rom 1.1.0 Froyo EC05 I have these modes "Single shot, smile shot, panorama, beauty, continuous, vintage, add me, action shot, cartoon"
It looks like I don't have your modes. Someone with gingerbread might have them though. I don't use gingerbread because it is horrible on battery life with the leak. Custom builds might be better but I'm satisfied with the froyo rom I use now.

i guess that answers my question. the i9000 and captivate had some great features and they eventually made there way into the vibrant but so many users feel like a flash is better than a camera that works in low light. i want both, the flash for when it is too dark to work without one but night mode for great pictures in dim light, for some reason samsung makes you choose. atleast it shoots better in the dark than an htc.

So we have my aosp Evo 4g. Amazing battery. Works great. Can do all the things to my liking but lacks 1 thing that may be the camera limitation of no 720p. My simple q is it the quality of the camera or lack of software? There are other non sense phones w 720p . Shouldn't we have the ability to port it over? I'm no dev but an avid tech Guy and would love this. My wife's epic has an amazing camera. My Evo argueably takes better still photos...but her camcorder smokes mine ...in every way.
Since megapixels don't mean much when taking a picture with a camera, is there anything in dev / on the market that will improve the quality of the GNex camera? I love this phone so much, but the Camera makes me a bit sad. I know Cyanogen and Co. worked wonders on the Camera for my G2 and G1 back in the day.
Anything like that (changing ISO, and other options) for the GNex right now - without flashing an entire ROM?
Ok. I love MIUI. However, I always come back to sense. The #1 reason is the camera just seems to work better on sense roms.
No app on the Android market seems to measure up in terms of camera software.
Anybody having better luck than I am?

Nope, I don't think MIUI even offers front camera. Sense all the way in my opinion.
Im using MIUI and it works great for me,i dont take many pictures either.They make cameras for that.
MIUI does have front camera. You just have to lower the quality.
I use my phone to take pictures at sporting events with surprisingly good quality.
But only from sense roms

Looks like user NODO-GT has put together an HQ camera apk / patch for the Sensation on ICS. Quality looks quite amazing compared to normal pics.
Is the Sensation's camera hardware similar to/the same as ours? I wonder if there's a way if we could get 1080p recording as well (although that might take some more processor power). We had a thread that was going for a while comparing the dinc2 camera quality (grainy in aosp, etc.)
Anyway - here's the link to the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238
Any chance of porting this mod over at some point? Or having something similar?

Hi. I'm new to the forums. Well at least I'm new to posting. I've been referring to these forums for help ever since i got my beloved epic 4g touch 6 months ago. Thanks to all the great people here btw...
The camera on the epic 4g has kind of pissed me off since the beginning with it's incredibly loud shutter (ugh) and the fact that the front camera mirrors after the picture is taken. It looks completely different from the picture I actually intended to take and I came from a crappy t mobile mytouch that didn't have this issue. I mean for most this is not a big problem but it drives me up the wall!
I've read about others complaining about this on the forum so I know I'm not the first...and someone posted about this on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354648
and their problem was supposedly fixed by ptfdmedics fixed camera apk because it's based on galaxy s2's international camera which has an option to fix this (I guess?) so I rooted my phone just to do this and it doesn't work and makes my camera crash (ugh) I'm guessing because I'm on el29?
So now I'm on blazer rom 4.1 (which I love...so awesome worth the root btw...) and I don't have that annoying shutter sound but I still have the same problem. My question is is there a camera apk for epic 4g touch el29 that fixes it (based on international galaxy s2? or something) or is there a rom that has a camera that fixes it or any fix to this basically and also I would like to stay on blazer if possible. Sorry for the long post...
