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?

Is there another market camera app or something else to replace the one on CM7? I cant shut off the camera click noise and there is no tap to focus and a few other things.
I for one would like to have the HTC camera app on CM7, but I doubt it will happen due to the possible framework differences.
I was looking for exactly the same thing. Installed CM7RC2, and the only thing I've found lacking was the camera app, which just doesn't come close to the one on the stock HTC rom.
I've just tried out Camera360, and been looking at reviews for Camera ZOOM FX, but both seem to be focused on applying a wide range of effects rather than improving the actual process of taking a photo. To my knowledge, neither had tap-to-focus.
Anyone know of a different app that might do the job a little better?
You can try the MIUI Camera app. The only problem is it doesn't have the ffc, but it's so much better than the stock CM7 one.

I'm trying to figure out how to install the MIUI one and keep the stock one (to use the ffc when I need to).
I use vignette.. Set the resolution to 8M and superfine quality.. Man, that thing takes a photo at 4mb.. Really good image quality.. Definitely first choice..

Second vote for Vignette; costs a couple of pounds and is well worth the price. A ton of brilliant effects, and the image quality without effects is outstanding. I don't think I've used the HTC camera app once since I got this.

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.
Hey all, I've got the new OTA running and I was thinking about my camera quality again. I asked this a while back, but are there any camera apps that improve the quality of a photo? Or is it possible to get the 3.0 camera working on my phone? I've noticed the quality of my mom's thunderbolt's camera to be much better than the dinc, is the hardware actually better, or is it software that is doing the magic?

There are apps in the market that will supposedly make your pictures look better, but they really just reset filters like brightness. I believe the Thunderbolt may just have better hardware because it's newer. I don't think you can get the 3.0 camera on the OTA either because the 3.0 camera relies upon the newer Sense framework. HTC moved around a lot of stuff between 1.0 and 3.0.
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

Hey all,
I have a question about how the cm10.1 camera is working on my phone. I have the GS3 i747, and it is running the stable version of cm 10.1.
-Is there a better way to use the HDR function on the camera? The 3 different pictures taken are very slow, so no matter how still i am, the picture is always blurry. Is there a better camera i could use? for example Camera JB+?
thanks and let me know
Something I have wanted since ditching my iPhone 4S..
HDR is substantially better quality photos for still and even perfectly timed moving shots (takes practice, but is possible).
