[Q] Camera Performance - Galaxy Nexus - Any Tweaks?

Hey Guys,
I'm new to the Nexus, I just got it today. Had a HTC Sensation before.
I LOVE this phone! It's amazing! Everything is just so perfect! The one thing which bothers me is the Camera. Which I do use, a lot! Even my Sensation didn't have a nice camera itself but I remember my super old K850i! It used to take such crisp shots!
Any way to improve the shooter's performance?

You could decompile the camera and look for some delay or speed values in the code?
I will do so when I have time.
Good luck
Greets!
I'm not a fake.
I prefer people to reply to me and give feedback instead of thanking me!
But thanking me does show if you apreciate my works.

How would editing the Speed/Delay values help? Better focus time? :\

Touch and hold on-screen shutter button to focus, release to take picture, or touch the area in the view finder where you want to focus and the tap the on-screen shutter button.

Doesn't work on stock gsm 4.0.2.

I use an app called Camera Zoom FX from the market. It takes much better stills than stock. Costs 3 bucks though, but you can test it pretty thoroughly and get a refund if you don't like.

Thanks! I've used it on my previous phones but am gonna try it on this too

Look for the app camera ics in the market. Improves quality and uses the 4.0.4 camera app as a base

Camera Zoom FX doesn't make any impact. I've done some pretty extensive testing and unless it was something with my phone, there was almost no difference or there was no difference whatsoever. Couldn't notice anything at least.

this tweak for camcorder (from euroskank ROM) increase the average bitrate:
extract media_profiles.xml from media_profiles.xml.zip and place it to /system/etc
you can customize this file to fit your needs
need r00t

Hey guys, what's the photo size you all select? What resolution?

Widescreen
Is there anyway to use widescreen (16:9) pictures using mods or something in the galaxy nexus?
Cheers

[REQUEST] [LSJ] Burst Shot Camera

So we have moved to the new base so much similar to S3 and I'm wondering if this is possible. I really want not to use 3rd party apps to fast burst

we don't have the required hw so no.

There is a custom app for it on market it takes this sort of stuffs,
the developer had an S2 when he demonstrated the video, its not the best but its something :laugh:

Fast Burst Camera Light from the Play Store can take multiple pictures while holding the shutter button. Its not the same as the S3 but it still takes fast burst images.

I think sgs2's hardware would be capable of doing that

Iirc that just takes frames from the video feed. It doesn't take full frame captures like the S3 does.

so why don't you build that? use the search, everyone said already that GSII don't have the compatible hw ¬¬

How come when I changed to cm10 the camera focus mode got infinite and fixed but when I flashed lsj the camera only have macro n auto focus

The hardware is capable of taking burst shot pics at a low resolution, not that which we have grown used to with the standard issue single shot apps. The exynos 4 dual core is powerful, but 8 mega pixel stills at 60fps will bring it to its knees.

APP: Solution to 1080p Lag and Focus Problem

Hello Guys... Hope u enjoying your new .96 JB Firmware. ...anyway lets move to the problem which you guys may be having... but that was annoying me too much.. yes i am talking about 1080p lag and Focus problem. after new update i was still having a slight lag while recording video and the big thing which was annoying me too much was continously focussing of camera even in day light condition that was ruinning my video.... :silly: So after lots of Searching i found a solution...:good: :victory:
LG Camera App....:fingers-crossed: available in android market and you do not have to buy that app because all features of both paid and non paid versions are same except you see a free logo on icon of the app which is not bothering...
here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en
So this app is very usefull and both the image quality and video recording performance is way better then stock camera app..... There are alot of options for image capturing and video recording.....you can change Mbits rate and sampling rate of video,,,,,you can change Focus Setting while Recording and YOU CAN ALSO TAP TO FOCUS WHILE RECORDING WHICH STOCK APP IS MISSING...A FEATURE THAT SAVED MY LIFE :good:
Settings which Worked best for me Without ANY Problem and Best Video Quality with out lag or focusing PRoblem is :
For image: All settings auto.....antishake Disabled......Delayed jpeg saving....and i get sharp images compared to Stock
For Video: 1080p Resolution....H264 Encoder......Video bit rate 20 Mbits..........Focus mode Auto
Both 1080 and 720 videos are 16:9 Ratio
i have Stock JB .96 and stock kernel installed
Unfortunatly sony didnt listen to us but nothing is impossible in android....and i found a Solution.. Hope you guys Enjoy and Try yourself.....
All credit goes to orignal App developer....

Thankz mahnnn it is wrth a try

You cannot record on 60fps, says record failed. Also, the bitrate work only on 20 on my phone.
The videos are not much better and I don't see any difference between this and original camera.
Thank you!

for me 60 fps works i personally recorded it and checked its properties in MX player and there it says it is 59.699 FPS but yea the bit rate is also 20 Mbits for me which is atleast good then the stock 16.9 Mbits Also we can tap to focus in video when we want.... this is atleast better then the stock camera which is continously trying to focus on object again and again and Ruining video........Anyhow Thanks for Trying....

[APP][CAMERA][UNIVERSAL] Moto x Camera

Hi,
here is a beautiful fast & unique camera app from Moto x,
Action:
•Press the screen to captures picture
•Holding the screen activates the burst mode for capturing multiple pictures.
•Dragging up and down zooms in and out.
•Swiping fingers from left to right brings camera settings, and from right to left takes to the Gallery.
•Another convenient gesture is twisting your wrist twice (quickly) while holding the camera in hand launches camera anytime. It’s a great feature for a smartphone with no dedicated camera button.
Features:
•Single shots
•Burst shots
•Video recording
•Front-facing camera toggle
•Swipe to open settings
•Swipe to open gallery
•Touch to focus toggle
•Flash mode toggle
•Shutter sound toggle
•Geo-tag toggle
The camera app can be installed as a normal APK file. Installing this camera app does not replace the stock camera of your device and having installed it, you’ll see two different shortcuts in your app drawer.

Good one, but what does the SLO mode do? It seems locked for me. I can't use it. Anyone has an Idea.?

Few others I've used
Have been using many camera apps currently. All have some or the other feature which I like. I use according to my purpose.
1. Camera Zoom FX: Using it for its Voice Activated feature and its Collage feature. Voice activated mode will click only when you make a noise or say click or cheeze etc. You can use it when you click your own pics or wanna have a group pic.
Use collage mode and click multiple pics and you'll get all of them in single pic. That's way quicker then click normal pics and then use collage.
It also has a stable indicator that indicates when the object or the phone is stable to click the pic.
2. Pro Capture: For providing many various Focus and Scene modes in one touch, especially the Macro mode and the Fibonacci Spiral is also one of the best feature it gives. The golden Spiral does make sense in pictures, I personally believe.
3. Fast Burst Camera: Name says it all. Soon I'm gonna check the Moto X for its continuous shots and if the result is better I might replace. But this app is quick good. It clicks like a machine gun. Some times even if I try to click it ones it quickly response to the second touch and takes another shot . Sorry that might be a negative point as well
4. Camera 2: This app is real fun if you like to take pictures and video like that of Old time (1940s, 1960s, etc), It has Sci-Fi mode similar to Green coloured Matrix like of stuff with number falling down in a line. Comic mode, Artistic mode. Best part of the app is that you cannot just click pictures but also take videos in those modes.
Well I used many others too but removed them for less or more their limited features.
I hope this might help you in any way. :good:

Dual Shot on Note 3 Neo?

I went through a few review sites and YouTube videos before buying the device and I saw Dual Shot in Camera Modes there. However, I didn't find it in my phone's Camera Modes. Why is that :s
One of the links is attached below.
http://www.techtree.com/content/reviews/5896/review-samsung-galaxy-note-3-neo.html
Camera
The Note 3 Neo sports an 8 MP camera with BSI (Back-Side Illuminated) sensor. Like most Samsung phones, the Neo lets you snap pictures while recording a video. This feature comes in quite handy.
You also get different camera modes including Dual Shot, Drama Shot, Cinema Shot, Sound & Shot, Eraser, Best Face, and Beauty Face.
Can you guys please check your Camera's Modes?

no dual shot, no slow motion too. I'z sad.
hopefully in the next update! :fingers-crossed:

Just click the Shutter button and keep finger there till all 20 pics are taken. Once you go to the gallery, you will see an icon on Pic, which will play the Slow-Mo video.

Is this a h/w limitation of camera sensor or has samsung deliberately crippled down the software features of camera in Neo variant ?
Sorry to hijack your thread but I didn't find macro focus as well in the camera app by Samsung [emoji32]

That's burst shot and is not slo-mo video recording.

Korean variant of Note 3 Neo has kitkat. Are any additional camera modes included compared to 4.3 Jellybean ?

Yes that's true sire, I'm only hoping since there is a missing Display Option Mode feature too, and it was present in GSMA's Neo review. :silly:
