Aftermarket front-facing camera? - Droid 2 Accessories

Does anyone make a plugin video camera that can be used as a FFC for the Droid 2?

I've never seen any kind of plugin camera for the Droid2

HDR for Incredible

I recently watched the Apple keynote, and they have added HDR (High Dynamic Range) to their camera app. Considering that this is merely software and not hardware, could anyone look into developing a camera app/mod that does this?? and there are apps in the market, but they use their own software to create a simulated HDR photo, but they do not actually take 3+ shots in rapid succession, and there is an extreme quality difference between the HDR simulation, and actual HDR. So, in conclusion, i would love to see this developed, and im sure many of my other android users would too.
Try Camera 360. Free app with HDR.
Camera 360 is not true HDR; not that HDR off a cell phone camera sensor would actually be worth the effort.
i got camera 360, but in my opinion, it just makes the photos look worse, and more fake. also as i use this phone's camera as my primary camera for family events and any other types of things, i see the need in developing this.

AOSP Camera Mod?

Is there a modified camera.apk that supports the Evo's resolution and 8MP? It kinda baffles me that you can use both cameras but can't take advantage of the Evo's back camera specs. Normally this would not be a problem for me, but the quality of my pictures taken on AOSP compared to Sense is very noticeable.
I think your choices are either both cameras working and no 8MP, or front camera broken and 8MP.
Not following. I'm on CM6.1.1 and have both 8Mp and front cam as well as being able to zoom WHILE recording video.

Galaxy Nexus - Front camera video capture?

Sorry for a bit of a trivial spec question, but this could be a deal-breaker for me, & I'm surprised it's not listed in any of the specs.
The front camera is 1.3mpx, but do we know what resolution it can capture video at?
In theory it could manage 1280x1024, more than enough for 720p. But looking at previous front cameras this isn't always the case - the SII for example has 2mpx but can only do VGA video capture.
Has anyone had a chance to try this out?
I think it can record only VGA videos.
After checking with several sources, I figured that it could only do VGA, but I went ahead and ordered one anyway.
Turns out it CAN do 720p front video capture! Very surprised this wasn't listed anywhere.

Replacement camera app

My wife wants a new phone for Christmas to replace her ageing HTC Desire S. She complains mainly about the naff camera on the Desire and wants something better.
Not wanting to break the bank, I was looking at the Moto G as a possible replacement. I know the camera has its shortcomings but wondered if anyone has tried using any other camera apps to see if they make a difference in things like focus speed and shutter lag on the phone?
Thanks in advance.

If she wants better camera, tbh you should look elsewhere since Moto G cam isn't great...
I used camera360 ultimate on my moto G and its not great improvement...
Since i don't care about the cam, its the first midrange android i bought...and it ticks everything except cam and audio quality (through headphone)
You could get her a nice 8mp phone but since you are on a budget...
My first android phone was a samsung s2 8mp which takes better shot that my nexus4.
Maybe try Focal.

Compared Focal to the stock camera app facing light. Default settings on both apps. Focal did pretty bad
I found stock camera not so bad (for such a cheap phone).
I tried also Camera Zoom FX (ugly) and Camera FV 5 (a little better but nothing special).
The only other camera app that seems to perform well is VSCO Cam: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vsco.cam&hl=it
I was also looking for a low-maintenance, point & shoot camera app that'll produce better pics than stock. I'll give VSCO a try.
The camera will not have massive improvements by chainging camera apps, litle or no improvement will be seen.
The Moto G camera is not that bad in my opinion. The reviews made me belive it was terrible. It's definitely not the best camera in the market, but for casual photos it can handle pretty well. And you can still use all those photo editing apps to make some color correction and etc.
This topic has some pictures taken with the Moto G in different situations, so you can decide for yourself if the 5MP camera is enough.

If you want something better you should probably consider another device as different camera apps wont give you a big improvement.
The camera in the Moto G is perfectly adequate. Not excellent, mind you. But good enough for normal use. The light is a bit dodgy but the quality and colour is fine on the test photos I took. Nothing that cant easily be fixed in Photoshop.
But lets be honest here. What are people going to use if for? Photographing food for Instagram and taking blurry selfies in the bathroom mirror? You don't need 41 megapixels for that.
it's not the best or the greatest. coming from an 8mp htc vivid there is a difference. better then expected though, and better then my old nexus one 5mp with flash.
Just so you guys know, when you take a picture in "Widescreen" (default setting, aka 16:9 aspect ratio), the picture is only 3.8 MP. If you turn it off in the camera app, it's 5 MP.

Ive taken the same photo in both modes but still get slightly more detail in widescreen.

Low Resolution in Front Camera Issue

So i think everyone of you have come across this annoyance that third party cameras on Redmi Note 5 Pro (Note 5 China) cannot use the full 20mp resolution in front camera. Only 5mp resolution is utilised.
So can anyone point out what exactly is the reason for that and is there any fix possible for the issue, as this is a major reason for me to not flash custom roms as even gcam doesn't use full resolution of front camera.
Replies appreciated.
I tried the Nokia camera port and it works. It Utilizes full 20 mp front sensor.

yeah i have tried nokia cam too, it utilities full 20mp front. But the quality is nowhere close to google camera and that's why i want the gcam to utilize full 20mp front.
