[Q] Bad quality pictures and wallpapers CM7 - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with quality of several pictures and wallpapers on my HTC Wildfire. Picture is fine and smooth for about 1-2s then it sharpens and become grainy, pixelized and generally speaking bad quality.
Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop. There are several white pixels. I was trying to use quick pick as well as stock gallery viewer and some other what i cant remember - still with no satisfying effect. On stock htc sense it was all perfect and smooth. I have found one matching topic on my local android forum and one on some english language - still no answer.
If anyone had simillar problem and solved it i am begging for reply it is very annoying. The worst is that picture is perfect before it will fully load (like i said 1-2 sec.) so it can be viewed perfectly. Is there any option to turn rendering/sharpening/or any other photo corecting effect in CM7?
HTC Wildfire
Android: 2.3.7
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1. BUZZ Stable
Kernell: 2.6.35.14-nFinity

Try using a different gallery (e.g QuickPic) and wiping the camera with a piece of cloth.

"Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop."
I agree with you on this one man. The quality seems to degrade when pic set as wallpaper.
I am going to check out custom-sense rom (either WildPuzzle or DK Custom ROM). Probably this might solve our problem.
Plus i am facing a few other problems like laggy status bar, laggy animations. Hopefully the two aforementioned ROMs will give a better experience.

And about wiping the camera it is not the issue of taken pictures only also when i upload some photos to my phone.

Can someone help me!?

I have a prom coming up soon but I want to take pictures with good quality. Unfortunately the stock camera this MIUI ROM came with sucks. Can someone upload a Camera.apk file to help? If you can get the best one I will be so happy, or if you know how to improve the one OsiMood MIUI 2.5.13. Please help me at the best if your ability.
Can anyone help me!?
I don't have the stock camera.apk I can give you. But there are a few 3rd party camera apps on the Market that others claim are better than stock. Vignette is pretty good (but a paid app), and FxCamera and Camera360 are supposed to be pretty good too (both free).

I believe you are limited to the pixel density of the camera itself, which isn't whole dependable on the software..
Sorry for not throwing you an .APK that would be useful. Just wanted to let you know that your thread is being read.

You're not going to get decent pictures indoors with the DZ (or just about any phone, for that matter) -- especially in a dimly-lit dance floor. You'd do better to buy or borrow a digital camera with a good flash.

Some claim that various camera apps will handle auto white balance, auto focus, auto ISO, etc. differently, possibly resulting in better photo quality. Although I've used the HTC camera app and stock AOSP, and played around with Vignette a bit, and haven't noticed a big difference.
I understand I cant increase my camera pixels due to hardware, but I had older ROMs with better picture quality l'm just wondring if someone has a good Camera.apk on there ROM they can give to at lease give me better picture. This MIUI ROM made by OsiMood is not good at all, and I know it can be better. So if anyone else can take there Camera.apk and upload it that will be very helpful.
Flash a new ROM!
Need good pictures for Prom - Prom = dark - Phone doesn't like dark - Can't take pictures with phone - Need DSLR with flash - Hire DSLR with flash - DSLR with good flash likes dark - Take pictures - I have good pictures from Prom
So im guessing no Camera.apk files are avalible!?
- download some different roms and extract camera.apk from the zip,
- make a backup of your existing camera.apk
- start moving camera.apk from roms you've downloaded and find the one that you like most.

Did you check out the Market apps I suggested? Its not like the AOSP stock camera app is all that great anyway. Probably be easy to find equal or better 3rd party app, if its a hassle to get the camera apk.
Your going to prom! Drink more beer and they will all look better in the dark! Lol I couldn't resist that one. But you could also buy a cheap digital camera at wally world for around $20 that will preform better in the dark then your g2.

[Problem] Photo/Camera

Hello everybody,
I have three annoying problems with my camera.
First :
Sometimes, when I take a photograph, the phone loads the gallery just after and don't save the shot which I just take.
Second :
Sometimes, the picture is wrong.
I mean : When I take a photograph, in preview, the picture is good, but when I go to the gallery, the picture has a problem.
I can't describe it in English, but I have a example of the wrong picture here with.
Third :
When I am in the camera application, or in preview, the phone "block". I can't do nothing with it, only remove the battery for restart it...
I have the Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 ROM at the moment, but had this problem with old version of the ROM too.
I changed the radio yesterday to see if probems come from that, but it doesn't change anything.
Radio now : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
Radio before : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Other info :
hboot Cm7r2
And my girlfriend has the three problems too with her Desire
Thanks for your help
Luc
I have the "second" problem , too , but rarely.. and another one : i use Runny ROM and the camera effects don't work (like the one with points, distorsing,etc.). Is something wrong with the rom, or this works just with cm7r2... ?
Thanks for help
i've heard of this issue before somewhere i think it's the roms issue
i had something like this on the htc dev rom occasionally when i took pics with the stock cam . do you get the same result with another rom eg non sense ?
Thanks for your help,
I will try with a AOSP ROM, and try to found the problem in the ROM issues.
Luc
I had the same problem in the ROM ICS, but switched to back to GB and everything works the best.
If this is Runnymede, it probably re-install the ROM fix this problem.
BTW: I recommend you RUNNY ROM v5.0
I had the second problem after 2 months of InsertCoin 1.1.4.
I switched to RunnymedeMOD007 and that problem stopped.
Also my pictures where low quality and I cleaned the plastic in the back cover with a little toothpaste to remove some residue of the anti-reflection layer that wore of.
Maybe those residue in some light environments helped in the distortion of some pictures like the one you sent.
Hmm ok,
I have tried to uninstall the HTC camera and to reinstall it.
Uninstall was OK
But didn't reinstall...
So I download a other camera in the market, pugging camera, a bit slower but worked perfectelly.
This afternoon, I had installed the RunnyRom V5.5
So, I will now try with it.
Thanks for your reply
camera problem
Hi,
I have all of those mentioned problems in first post. Stripe in the picture (I saw, that occurred just with zoom+), freezing phone after took the picture (this one is reaaaally annoying for me)... I had them in Runnymed AIO last 2-3 versions so I was thinking reinstall to RunnyRom will help me. But not... All mention reoccurred and new one is that after the picture is took, preview friezed, picture is not saved and only Home button works to go out from camera app. Did anyone solved this problem with camera? Why this happening?
Another problem a had with RannyMed AIO was that, phone randomly friezed and restarted. This occurred when browsing web, chatting on gTalk, using Sygic Aura navigation... really annoying... I thing this was caused by overheating, but I'm not sure... I have RunnyRom 6.1.1 just 2nd day, so for now happened just problem with camera...
Any suggestions?
thank you.
Hi,
I didn't resolve the problem.
I just install a other ROM, like Runny ROM

Hi Luc,
Which one you're using? Do you have any similar problem?
thx
I'm using this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526831
I think, the ROM isn't supported anymore (or less upgarde), but have no problem with it.
Good rom for me, I wouldn't change for the moment
You should try resetting the standard value in your cams menu. This solves most of the freezing issues.

Hello winesh,

[APK] ICS stock gallery.....

i was searching all over the xda forums and finally i found them.....
here it is.. the stock ics gallery....it's so smooth and fast....i tried it myself with my XXLPQ ics.......
feel free to download and enjoy.......the credit goes to the member "nagnrik" from the droid razr forums........
download and install the two files.......
If you like my post, Just click the THANKS button.
will this replace the old 3d gallery or add ics gallery???

Hi,
I have installed the two file but it's the same gallery (ICS Samsung Stock ROM LPQ) :/
No, you have to get a new "Gallery" icon, with a more pink-ish icon. It's a nice found, but QuickPic still seems to be snappier
@VAXXi
It's work
Thx for all.
Nice find, thanks for posting this. My only gripe is that .gif images don't work properly and there are a few graphical glitches.... Other than that, its much faster than samsung's outdated app in rendering of images as well as overall scrolling and speed.
Why are there 2 files though? I installed the second file you posted "gallery 2", hope that was the better working one.
edit: Ok never mind. I installed it, didn't realise it was a live wallpaper.
Thanks a lot man !
It works perfectly, it's smoother than the Samsung one (which is less smooth than it used to be on Gingerbread by the way... ).
Besides we get the terrific galery widget along with the apk !

Ya3tik essa7a khouya...yep, it does perfectly work, just tried it on LPQ....keep it going
Just tried the Gallery2.apk on LPQ seems to work well. Much nicer and faster than stock. Settings page is empty though, not sure what should be there.
Ah one problem.. doesn't seem to pull thumbnails for many of my videos, resulting in a whole page of black thumbnails... on a black background
Galaxy4.apk is the live wallpaper as seen on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503640

On all types of videos?
MP4 videos display fine, any other type (i.e. ones not natively supported by Android) do not show thumbnails.
Will have another look tomorrow, just in the very slow process or starting over with a new rom..
The old 3d gallery displays also albums from Picasa Web Albums, and this one doesn't, only photos and videos existing on the phone ;/
And when I'm trying to enter settings, there's only a black background and nothing more
I actually prefer the latest Quickpic over ICS gallery. Better option list too.
QuickPic is still the fastest and the best imo..
Why in settings I see only black background?

Are you running a custom ROM? Most (all?) of the ics/jb ROMs have issues with third-party camera apps.
Aw yeh, that may be it, running cm9, well, that explains pretty much everything, haha, didnt think of it, well, thank you for the answer

With just bout any ICS rom (except maybe Virtuous Infinity, which is painfully slow right now), any app other than the stock camera app the rom comes with, will usually exhibit problems on the image (corruption etc). This is normally true of any '3rd party' apps on those roms.
The work around would be to snap the image with your main camera app, and then import it into instagram from the gallery.

Camera question on CM10 ROM Android 4.1.2

Is it just me or does it seem like the camera was better when the phone was unrooted and without a ROM? Last night I rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 ROM...and I feel that the pictures come out a little blurry. The camera app is completely different in itself.
Is there any way to install the original camera app? The CM10 ROM upgraded me from android 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.
Respectfully,

The stock camera app relies on the Touchwiz framework which CM10 does not use, so no you cannot install the original camera app.

Thanks. Is it just in my mind that the stock camera is better? Are there any good camera apps around that I could use?
There's a chance that the pictures with the stock camera are better, because the camera software has been optimized for the phone. However, someone posted sample pictures in the CM10 thread comparing the stock camera quality to CM10's camera quality, and the differences were negligible. The person posting them said he couldn't tell the difference if he didn't know there was one, and I personally couldn't see much difference either. I'm on my phone, so searching for it would be a *****, so if you're on a computer, I'd recommend giving the CM10 thread a search. If I can find the post before you, I'll edit this with a link.
You could always try it yourself, too. Find a room with consistent lighting (probably away from windows), and take some pics with Touchwiz. Then, take the same pics with CM10 (I guess, try to make a stand/marking of some sort so it's easier to put the camera at/near the same exact spot). Upload them to a computer or something (just because a larger screen will show the differences better; it's not entirely necessary), and compare.
