Hey,
I know this is not a huge thread or the most useful ever, but i didn't wanna swarm threads with potentially irrelevant info.
But anyways, the camera improvements are great. You used to have your frame focused and the shutter came too long after the focus so you often had blurry pictures. Now you actually notice that it refocuses at the exact moment of the shutter (obviously "exact moment" is somewhat an expression). That alone improves the quality by a ton and most likely what they refer to when saying they fixed "stabjlity".
So after you flash to 4.0.4 don't fear to use your camera anymore!
I assume all the camera quality improvements will be present in the latest CM9 nightly based on Android 4.0.4 as well?

Thanks for this. I wonder if there's anything in the update that'll improve the graininess of the pics.

I use AOKP 29, and any AOSP based 4.0.4 should have similar core improvements. So yes, your assumption is right

The graininess does also seem to have major improvements. Overall the quality is A1. I dont wanna risk it and say its like iphone pictures but it sure as hell is one step closer.
This just got me excited...I use my camera a lot. I was going to hold off on upgrading to AOKP 4.0.4 build until they added everything back in but maybe I will make the jump quicker. Post some bad lit pictures up in the picture thread please and specify it is on 4.0.4 please. I am sure a lot of people would be interested to see these...
wow, the camera is muuuch better. is like they discovered how to focus propertly
The yellowish issue when using the flash seems to be gone too.
After testing further I have to say my only complaint is that the shutter speed is not constant, as in sometimes it will take the picture instantly and sometimes it will lag a little (not because of focus)
I still wish there was a way to batch delete photos.

Long press on a photo while in the Gallery and then you can choose which ones you want to delete and delete them!
Lol what? Batch delete has been around since at least Eclair, if not earlier.
A comparison could be great
I've taken a couple of shots and while it's too early to say, I think it's improved.
To be honest a comparasion would be somewhat hard to do. And also... why... Its better, its not really gonna change anything, its not like comparing 2 equivalent and different products.

I think there is. Just long press a pic till a checkmark appears. Then press each other pic you want. Menu, delete.
Has anyone else notice that the camera volume is really loud and there's no way to turn it down other than completely off? Has it always been like this? I thought it use to correspond to notification volume.

O seu atualizou via OTA?
Do you have update via OTA?
So far I see more aggressive post processing correction of white balance on flash shots. Way less blue tint after processing. Also night scene mode usable for macro shots since it focuses on near objects much better. Will experiment more but so far just these two makes it much more usable for me.
Seems to focus a lot faster for me while not being blurry at all.
That's a definite improvement if I'm seeing it right.

Okay hi all i will soon be joining the fun whit you guys but before using my upgrade next month on this phone i got a few questions here it goes :
-how is the camera ?? Camera is a really important feature to me and what i mean by this is does it take good detailed pictures?
-How is speed performance and battery life? i am a student so i atleast need 5hours of use i dont game at all i just listen to music check xda and Facebook time to time..
-how is the sound quality on this device? Speaking about the speakers of course..
- can it handle live wallpapers whit ease ? I have an older phone that can barely run lwp lol was just wondering ..
- does this phone have a camera stabilization / image stabilization? Like the iphone 4s
Well that's all for now and sorry for the long post

People often criticize about the camera but I honestly don't see any problems with it as long as you focus the picture.
Speed and battery life: Speed is definitely amazing on this phone. Haven't experienced any lag using stock ROM / kernel but I've moved onto customizing it with custom ROMS and kernels. Battery life is iffy when it comes to LTE users, if you're on GSM, you shouldn't have any problems. Although, you will get the best battery life by rooting / custom ROMs / kernels.
Sound quality is amazing. Get Volume+ to increase speaker volume, that's about it.
Live Wallpapers: only live wallpapers that are optimized for Android 4.0 (phase beam).
Focus on camera? yes.
If you really value camera quality, look into the rezound. I really miss the camera. Much better compared to the GN.

Camera is pretty average. For me it's good enough but perhaps not for you. Check out some of the threads like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392436. I love the effects you can add afterwards with the stock app too
Performance is generally very good but a bit laggy on scrolling homescreens and in the launcher. This is on 4.0.1/4.0.2, apparently the 4.0.3 upgrade will sort this out but that remains to be seen! Battery life I find quite good, gets me through the day anyway. I get about 4-5 hours screen on time. In total usually lasts me between 1-1 and a half days. It really depends on your personal usage though.
Sound quality is fairly bad in my opinion but I can live with it fine. The speaker is quiet and in-call sound quality is also quiet and sometimes it's really hard to hear people, especially if you're in a noisy environment.
Live wallpapers are just as bad on the Galaxy Nexus as on other phones. Only one works and that is one of the stock ones called Phase Beam, not even the other stock LWPs work, which says a lot I think about LWPs!
The camera doesn't have image stabilisation. In fact that is probably one of the worst things about it as getting a steady shot is the hardest aspect of getting a good photo on this phone. Quite often when you hit the button to take the picture it can be enough to put it out of focus. If you do get a steady shot it's pretty good (in my opinion at least).
Although I sound really critical I'm just trying to be honest. I absolutely love my Galaxy Nexus and I highly recommend you get it!

The best advice I can give you is that,
If you value having a stock Google experience without waiting 6+ months for your perspective manufacturer to update your phone then you will love the Galaxy Nexus.
Yes, camera isn't the best. But it's good enough to take casual pictures.
After all, this is a developer device. At the same time, you'll be rocking 4.65" inches of screen fun. You most likely won't be disappointed, give it a try--watch YouTube videos, reviews, etc.
I myself and other users (on this forum) are probably biased of the phone. But honestly, stock Android without having manufacturer skins is the way to go. I will not accept any phones with skins on top of them and then getting the latest and newest Android 6 months after it's release. Yes, there are custom ROMs featuring these new Android versions but... all these ICS ports to other phones are still using the older version of the kernel.
In development, Nexus devices always last. We've already have great developers for the phone and it will only get better.
One of my main reasons for having the GN (I prefer a keyboard phone) is the responsiveness of the camera. My GN's camera has zero shutter lag running the stock rom rooted with faux123's kernel. When I run custom roms the camera picture taking is slower.
To be clear, the camera is NOT SLOW ON A CUSTOM ROM. It is simply not immediate in the way that it is on stock. Thus far, I have run MCR, Liquid Smooth and CM9 Nightlies. None of them had the camera speed of stock. I may be doing something wrong though. Thought I'd ask before simply sticking with stock rooted.
I'd like to have quick access to settings and other features that a custom rom offers but I absolutely need the camera to be instantaneous as it is on stock.
Any advice?
TIA
It was something they broke on 4.0.3 and fixed in 4.0.4 so try a newer ROM running 4.0.4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Thanks for a fast reply on that. Will give that a go.
Edit: Tried out Liquid and it is really so much slower than stock camera. It focuses for a full one to two seconds before the shutter activates and that kinda delay won't work for me. I'll try some other 4.0.4 roms and see if they do any better this go round. If not, back to stock 4.0.2 until they figure out this data drop bug then stock 4.0.4. I gotta have the instant shutter.
Well, tried several more roms and they all have the focus lag. So I'm back to stock. It's weird to me. Seems that they would at least be the same. Wouldn't necessarily expect a custom rom to be faster in that dept but slower? No matter. Stock android on a Nexus is satisfying enough. I need the instant camera. Thanks again.

Well its the difference between AOSP and the OTA. They are very similar, but still different. That's a perfect example, but 4.0.4 was supposed to improve the shutter speed and make it focus faster.
AOKP ftw. I have the same qualms and AOKP has always been incredibly quick with the camera. I'm running MIUI rom right now and it does take that extra fraction of a second or whatever to focus but I deal I was running AOKP M4 and Franco's M2 (and later his nightlies - don't remember if any were better than the other) and it would capture so quickly that I had to double check my little previous preview window to see if it snapped.
I think on all 4.04 the camera is slower because it allows the camera to focus and take a better pic while before it wouldn't focus if you didn't click manually and would take pic right away. Sometimes this would result in worse quality and I believe that's why they changed it in 4.04.
Could be wrong though..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Typically I find the first pic is slower while it focuses but sequential shots are instant.
Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
AOKP is just as slow. I'm looking at a fresh install of AOKP right now. It's the touch to focus feature all the custom roms have. Makes the camera so slow focusing (and again, when I say so slow, I mean slower than stock which is instant). Stock is the only option I guess. Unless, that is, one of the roms has the option to disable touch to focus. Is there one?
As for what player911 is saying, this is true. The first pic is slower focusing and sequential pics are faster. IF you basically don't move the camera. If you recompose the shot, move around, the camera will do the focusing dance all over again. I have a 20 month old. I need the first shot. AND I'll be moving around, lol. The custom roms just don't cut it in this regard. I've never had a phone where the stock software was decent enough to the point that I'd even consider not going custom but the GN running Android without Touchwiz/Sense/Blur is just awesome and I can definitely live with it. Plus I have my instant camera!!
Back to stock I go.
Thanks folks.
This sounds ridiculous to me. Yes, it does take 1-2 seconds for the first shot to focus, but then all sequential shots are instant. That is the point. So you want to have really blurry photos all the time and have it never focus, even though you're getting an instant first shot? That doesn't make sense to me.
Actually, the camera focusing is something I would like. Sure, the instantaneous thing is nice, but I'd rather a clear picture. Maybe a custom rom could offer the option to switch between the different ways the camera operates (like one option focusing before the first shot the other like it is before .4)?
OP, once on stock 4.0.4, you will see the camera actually focuses.... What you are describing is the behaviour on stock 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 roms
Point camera at subject, allow it to focus on its own, take picture. Just as fast as the 4.0.2 camera if not faster
Sent from my francoPhone
4.0.4 the camera is much better. First shot takes half a second or less to focus, and most of the shots after that are instant if you take them quickly enough.
The quality of the pics is much better now as well.
On 4.0.2 all the pics came out blurry or double vision. Now they are sharp and clear.
The first shot is only blurry if you can't hold the camera steady. I can.
As for 4.0.4 camera taking less than a second to focus, it just isn't true in my experience. I used half a dozen 4.0.4 rims last night to be sure. Why would I want to be rooted and on stock rom if this wasn't truly the case???? Who would want that?

So because it is not true for you, it must be false for everyone else?
Nice logic....
You need optimal light conditions for quick focusing. I focus in a second or less, and each shot after that is instant.

I am using a t989 now, after asurion replaced my galaxy nexus for it. I am wondering if anyone else here came from a galaxy nexus and now has this phone. If so, do you feel slighted like I do? There are no solid ICS roms for this yet and it is annoying going backward instead of advancing. Thoughts?
Well you lost the better screen, ics situation is only temporary (and i wouldn't exactly call the ucld2 based roms unstable), and you gained a better camera. Battery situation is about the same, you could even gain some life by using verizon galaxy nexus extended battery.

The camera may be a higher megapixel, but i would not say it is better. I loved the panoramic pics and the 0 shutter lag, I could literally take 30 pics in like 10-12 seconds.

I have the skyrocket, and i have little to no shutter lag, can't comment on the t989. However, have you tested the t989 or skyrocket with new ics leak?

I was thinking about re-buying it, even though it disappointed me back then when I had it. It was recently updated to ICS and I found it to be laggy, especially in the homescreen and with a livewallpaper, then it had also a bunch of bugs, the most annoying one was the camera button not working all the time when trying to snap a quick photo without turning on the display and everything, and the autofocus being slow and crappy in video recording. There were more bugs but I don't remember them too well.
Also, back then they all had the crappy screen with yellow tints, I got mine replaced but even the replaced screen was rather crappy, with inferior color reproduction, and yellowish whites, in comparison to the old screen which looked AMAZING, except for the dark yellow patches.
Tell me if it has gotten better in these few months, it should have gotten a bunch of updates too.
Also, can you tell me if games run well? My favourite android games that didn't run too well back then were Wind Up Knight, Let's Golf 3, Asphalt 6, and probably a couple more but I don't remember. I'd also like to know benchmark scores in NenaMark2, Antutu and Quadrant, I'm willing to install custom kernel and customized stock based roms.

Its a damn good phone, but if you didnt like it then you probably wont know. Most of those bugs are gone and my screen looks good. I run games just fine, but I am not a major gamer.
Probably should have put which phone you are talking about and put this is the QA section. I assume it is the Xperia S.
Yeah, it's the XS, I'm sorry.
My main problem with it was the disappointing performance. It literally ran less smoothly than my old Xperia Ray, and I tried EVERYTHING except for custom kernels, because there weren't many back then. I'm willing to try them now, if they do make a big difference.
I don't remember on what firmware was I though.
Which bugs still persist?

Custom roms make a big difference. There really aren't any bugs that bother me that are still around. Its definitely one of the best Sony phones for dev support. On KA20.1 its really fast. I can't say enough positive things about this phone and I have owned one since it first came out. I has its flaws but there are no perfect phones.

Can you tell me which flaws still remain? The only hardware flaws I found with this phone were the unresponsive dots but I learned to get them to work everytime by swiping them instead of pressing them. I don't really mind non removable battery or no SD (I'll never fill 32Gb). The screen should be good now, I don't know if you had to get yours replaced, but at first they used to replace it with a ****ty screen which had tinted whites and poor contrast.

The software flaws that annouyed me were how slow and stuttery it was (is it still like that on stock?), camera button that worked half the time when going from sleep to snap (that feature was also advertised but it didn't work), terrible autofocus, and there were some bugs with the facebook thingy and some widgets, IIRC.
Also, if you could link me to a changelog of the new firmwares that came out recently I'd appreciate it.
Ah, sorry for the double post.
It's a good phone, but don't ask for miracles.

Hi,
I'd really like to use a custom ROM, but camera performance is rather important for me. How big is the difference in this aspect between a custom and original ROM?
And also, what's to expect in this subject? Is there any hope to have in the near future a custom ROM with equal to original camera performance?
I have the same inquiry as well, but as for what I've been reading so far. It is not possible at the moment or possibly will never happen( I hope I'm wrong with this one.).
Conclusion: You can't have the best of both worlds.
There is a clear big difference between custom and stock rom in terms of camera quality. It's like night and day in my opinion. Although shots taken by custom rom are acceptable but compare to stock, the details and colors are way off when using custom rom. In terms of futurem nobody knows but this issue also exist on other phone. Like Xperia 2011 devices where the quality really degrades when using AOSP based rom though the big issue there is the camera libraries.
I thought only the Z3's use those very special DRM-Codes in the TA-Partition for LowLight and other Stuff? Isn't the rest "just" Sonys Camera Software?
I would love to use CM11, and i think i could live with a bit less low light quality, but as a DSLR owner i want another camera that is good with "point-and-shoot" situations...the Stock Z1 with the superior automatic is perfect for that kind of stuff....
Can't say how much is the difference, since I did not leave the phone at stock for a very long time, but in CM I find the back camera quality pretty good even in dark settings, when the flash is being used (low ISO).
However, when the flash is disabled or the front camera is used in low light (high ISO), the pictures are next to unusable.
I still can't understand what exact part of the camera processing configuration is stored on those DRM partitions and why did Sony, who otherwise support custom ROM development, made such particular decision...
I'd like to lift this thread and ask again, are there any lollipop roms with better or at least the same quality on camera?
