[Q] Best Camera for Incredible

What's the opinion on best camera for the Dinc? Especially for low light. I can't stand the overexposure on indoor flash pics, regardless my brightness settings. Thanks.

I'm using the stock AOSP cam currently, its nice but doesn't have many "features". For cool effects the vignette app is pretty great.

My favorite is pudding cam. The only drawback is all the menus are in Korean or something and I have no idea what anything says. It does take beautiful photos though and it has lots of options of camera and film types.

The Sense 2 Rom's camera is awesome.. if using other Rom's try "Camera FX Zoom"

The one I use for any flash stuff is camera360 ultimate, with the light HDR setting it does a good job of eliminating those crazy over exposed flash pics. It also saves the originals so you can edit them with picsay pro. Which is by far the best post editing app I've found.

Evo camera has always been my favorite... pull it from warm two point two, not warm z.

I like the Z camera, but haven't found a version that works on other ROMs.

Found this over in the Android Apps and Games forum. It's the Sense 3.0 camera for Sense 2.0. Don't know if it works as I'm currently on SR4.

I don't know about still pictures, but I manages to get much better video and more importantly audio using the app "lgcamera."

Thanks Stoney, I've heard that too. To risk sounding green, how do you pull the camera and install it?

Just unzip the rom and look for the .apk that you want. Usually they are in a folder called 'app' or something like that.
Then use root explore to put it in your system/app directory on your device.
You may need to set the permissions correctly.
Reboot and enjoy!

cool.. so this actually decreases the flash level?.. does it do so by only using one of the flash instead of both or does it just use a lower lighting?

how to install the Nexus 4 Camera on your M

I did not port this over I just am giving you a way to install on your Razr M.
Download the zip from here ---- >http://d-h.st/lVe
Then follow the directions from here ---> http://pastebin.com/gcHJrFQc
Remember to edit your build.prop ---> editing your build prop can lead to future problems.

Anyone try this yet?

ok so I have a non dev M. I'm rooted and on the Jelly Bean leak. I can confirm this is working for me but I just replaced the files with root explorer and also edited the build.prop through text editor. I copied the files one at a time in the order of the directions, then edited the build.prop and reboot. people are reporting bugs but it's working good here.

I take it the Nexus 5 camera is good? Never seen it. Is it better than the stock Razr M one? And if I install it, does it replace the stock one?
Sent from my DROID Pro using xda app-developers app

This does not replace the stock apps. I now have two camera and two gallery apps. The camera is OK. Basically they added a nice panorama and sphere mode a layout change but the gallery adds a lot of cool editing options. I am having problems with sphere mode with the camera. Its really slow and I'm not sure if I'm using it right.

OK photo sphere requires a gyroscope, something the Razr M does not have. No photo sphere for us.

well i installed the files and the camera is working great. much faster than the stock cam!
however i did not do any build.prop edits. what is the advantage of doing them?

Panorama and photo sphere might work if you do.

as mentioned, there's no way photosphere will work as it requires a gyroscope which the m doesn't have. i like this camera anyway even without photosphere, and have been trying to modify the apk to remove the photosphere menu option without any luck. don't have much knowledge of smali editing :/

Just as an FYI the description of the file to download the files says to use this address instead http://d-h.st/aIy and not to download that file. Update?

Works great, of course no sphere, but panorama is nice!

Installed on Eclipse Rom without any issues, didn't need to modify the build.prop or anything. It's very snappy.

Improve Poor Stock Camera Quality

Anyone facing the poor camera quality in any custom rom..?
Just follow these steps and then your camera quality become like stock camera...
First download camrera lib files here
http://www.mediafire.com/?1n4pr8nu4y1cubw
Copy these four lib files to your
phone..
1. libcamera.so,
2. libcamera_client.so,
3. libcameraservice.so,
4. liboemcamera.so
and then use root explorer.
Delete these four lib files from System lib folder...
Then move these four lib files to system lib folder and change the permissions of these lib files, like this attatched screen shot..
Then reboot and enjoy the best camera quality in any custom rom.!!!

My friends, Even with flash gapps the HDR recording should still be in the there. I have been running this CM10.1 on my galaxy nexus for a very long time and I haven't even seen it. I assume they announced yo let people know it is coming.

The standard gapps replace the gallery2.apk in cm which has HDR. One option is to push the gallery.apk from the ROM's zip file to /system.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

A better option is to manually delete the gallery apk in /system/app, then boot into recovery and reflash CM10.1 (without flashing gapps)

The HDR function makes the pictures look good too. I took a picture of a cheesy tot and it looked more fire than IRL.
I flashed the gapps w/o the camera or gallery. Someone around here provided the .zip, I can't remember who it was though. Search for it and you should find it. If not, I'll find it for you or upload the .zip when I get to work, can't do it now.

The Gallery from latest AOKP builds has the feature. But the wait time between the shots are slightly long so you have to literally hold the camera still, and the algorithm to patch the pictures together isn't precise. Right now I prefer HDR Camera.

Pretty obviously the second.

I have a download link for the GApps in my signature along with the apk for the HDR camera gallery app.

Downloaded the camera again..but no good.
Maybe I should do a clean install of CM10.1 than gapps no camera then HDR camera.
BTW: Does the HDR camera take three shots about 1.5 seconds apart from each other in different EV's and then combine them?
Can you post samples of regular + HDR taken from same place/angle?

I did it as this, and I got HDR.
1. Flash CM10.1, then GAPP,
2. Boot to Android, use Root Explorer to remove system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk
3. Go to recovery and re-flash CM10.1 again.
Then you will get a camera with HDR.
But I think the HDR is quite difficult to use...
The picture I took is double image...

But why does HDR picture blurs ?

Because you have to be very still to make a good picture. Basically you can't move.

[APK] New Camera & Gallery with Photosphere 100% Working, NO ROOT REQUIRED

Yesterday where leaked details of a new camera application in the HTC One and Galaxy S4 Google Play Editions, which added new features and some small change in its interface. And as expected, hours later, we can download and install the same version on any Android device.
To install the new gallery and camera, all you have to do is follow the next steps:
Go to Settings > Security and activate the checkbox "Unkonw Sources"
Download the APK file
With a file explorer (IE: ES Explorer or Astro), find the file on your SD and just pick the file and install the new Gallery (New camera included with the gallery)
Enjoy the Google Experience camera and gallery on your HTC One or in almost any device
If you have a Nexus or stock Android Experience device, this app will replace the current camera and gallery. If you have a Sense or other kind of Android, you will notice 2 new apps in the app drawer called: Camera and Gallery which belong to the new gallery and camera (no sh*t Sherlock ).
So far this has been tested on an HTC One, an Oppo Find 5 and in an Xperia Z and it's working in all of them with no issues so it will probably work in the rest of Android devices. Also, Photosphere and Panoramic options seems to be working to in all the Android devices with no need of ROOT or anything so, go ahead and try this new camera and gallery.
Source: El Androide Libre
PS: I've tried the APK myself and it's working like a charm. I can take photopsheres and no issues so far.
Link 1:
Download APK here (Google Docs)
Link 2:
Download APK here (Dropbox)
REQUIREMENT
The app requires that your phone has a gyro sensor (different from accelerometer sensor). Ensure you have this first before installing this app. You can check the "sensors" section of your phone on GSMArena if you don't know if your device has it.​

I must be dreaming, wow great job to all involved ripping through this stuff and releasing things only hours after the darn thing came out!
