I've noticed that Camera app in CM7 doesn't show any values for ISO settings, but in the official ROM it's a supported feature.
So, I've modified a bit the Camera app source code, to show the ISO settings for the I9000 model.
Also, ISO 50 and ISO 1600 are supported, that were not listed in the offical rom. I think ISO50 = ISO100 because of hardware or driver limitations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instalation methods:
I have attached the modified Camera.apk that you can install by doing:
# adb install -r Camera.apk
or
by simply copying the apk to the device and installing it like any other application.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modified Sources:
I don't know really if this hack should be in the CM7 repository, so I've forked the module in github and anyone is free to checkout the code and my mods.
https://github.com/mauro235/android_packages_apps_Camera
It's merely an easy hack, but I hope you can find it quite interesting and useful.
I've added support for metering modes while we wait for official support.
Touch focus didn't work.
It's all Cyanogenmod magic code, thanks to the devs who are working on it.
Here some logcat logs that show the effective settings:

Thank you! I'll try it (even if I think that iso increase could bring too much digital noise, on such a camera)

You could set it to ISO 100 instead of auto and get great pictures without too much noise, at least with natural / artificial light

is it even related to videos?

It's a setting for pictures. I don't know if there is another missing feature.
Now I'm doing some experimental research on video improvements and the myth of 1080p recording.

We were discussing about 720p problems in low light situations in another 3d. Did you notice that on your phone? I've the same problem on MIUI/CM7/CM Insanity (all CM based releases).

Can you please post the link to the thread?
As far as I know, the current libcamera.so doesn't have an api to set the light sensivity on video recording. It may be hardcoded deep in hardware, I'll check again the Kernel driver.
Another issue is the continuous auto-focus on video recording. Apparently not supported, I'll try that also.
Here you can find some good links:

Yes and it's an accepted value by the driver. But deep in the kernel driver I remember seeing something like ISO_50 = ISO_100.
Anyways, the hability of setting a custom ISO in the range from 100 to 1600 it's a good thing. At least for me.
well done nyc job
Added more experimental stuff, seems to work.
Tested ISO 100 and Touch focus - works like a charm Thanks!
PS: add metering mode to that

I haven't touched the Video interface yet. It's working ok for me on lastest CM7 nightly and stock kernel.
BTW: It's all Cyanogenmod magic code, thanks to the devs who are working on it.
Hi, I'm a happy user of your app on cm7 and i saw that a lot of features are added in last nightlies.
Is it possible that you include them (power button shutter, zoom in camcorder with volume buttons...)?
Thank you for your great work.

Anyone here got a working Android 4.2 Camera that uses 5 Mega pixels instead of 3?
I've tried lots of mods out there but it doesn't seem to work.
Besides, I wonder why it only is able to use up to 3MP and not 5MP unlike other phones?

Try zooming in using 4.2 camera .. you wil find that its a bit blurry. Where as if your using cm10's camera its much more clear when you zoom in.try it.

I second that. The difference comes in when you're viewing it on the computer.
Hence, I was wondering if I could retain the 5MP on the 4.2 Camera because it's blazing fast.

Good for you. I don't have one though. I wouldn't say I depend on my camera a lot, but should there be any events, I'll depend on my phone's camera. Too bad that the new camera only takes up to 3MP. I was hoping if someone would fix it. It can easily replace the previous CM10 camera
in any custom rom.

Agreed. Since I've no experience in coding and modding, I can only come here to seek help from more professional people.
I wonder if 1ceb0x will give it a go? Since it's available in paranoid android rom, naturally it's good to get it fix and share it with the community.

I was playing with camera drivers on my ONEX+ and managed to remove JPEG compression and also some auto enhance algorithms that sometimes can destroy the quality in some details which u can see if you zoom in specific parts of picture.

This are stock Sense camera drivers with modification i did to them via hex editor.
It doesnt matter which camera app you use, this is direct modification to camera drivers, even if app you used before had "compression removed" it was not 100% true as libs where still limiting this and i unlocked it fully!
So it will work with any camera app
EDIT: I dont know what's extrim mod pack, but check inside of it if it contains the same libs as i provided in this zip.
EDIT2:I checked, that extrim mod pack only has Camera.apk, there no drivers included, so what i did is something different.
I'm gonna try it out on the latest ViperX and report back here. Thanks !

Depends what are you taking a photo off, that 3mb file was 1.5 mb before, did you try taking a same photo before of same thing?
Also it may be limited by camera app you use if your not using camera mod that also has disabled compression.

Not sure, all Venom roms have moded stock app which allows setting Image encoding quality to 100%.
So try taking same picture with and without this moded drivers, if no change install camera mod, or some app from market which allows setting image quality (Like Camera JB+)
Thanks
I've just tried that, took one picture in my room, size 1,85MB, than installed your modded drivers, and took image again, same position, same object, but size is now 4,65MB ... so i guess it's working with stock app also

I think thats camera libs related, not camera, i did try to set compression to 0 (100 quality) but it ended up with inverted picture and all photos where just one big glitch.
Also dont think its good idea of getting RAW sensor data, libs fix alot of hardware imperfections, like dead pixels on camera which you may not even know you have, colors, saturation, brightness and so on, getting RAW data would produce alot of problems for many people.
But please tell me if u have more info than me and think im wrong .)

ur right I also niticed that in lyapotas's mod pictures are the same size without mod about 1.8 mb. also not all modes uses 100% quality like macro , portrait etc. even if mod works changing scene loses compression effect.

We or better say you (think that you know more in this specific) could test it if we/you can get it working. The Image sense chip of the HOX could use the raw mode without problems dead pixels you maybe are right its tippical for samsung camera modules but could you just try it would be the ultimate photographer feature

Hi guys...
There's one stupid and annoying issue that happens in my Sony Xperia S when taking photos!
I don't know if it's global, but i don't think so, because i didn't see anyone else claiming about it.
When i'm taking photos with close focus (like 20cm distance), i press camera button to focus and it shows green, but the image is a little blured, and i press the button all the way down to take the photo even with the blured image, and then the pre-visualisation of image is well focused...
I have already tried to focus again like 20cm distance, and then move the phone so the image gets not blured, like with excellent focus, then i take the photo, and it gets with really bad focus... -_-
I have already tried different camera mods, like advanced stock camera, cybershot mod, all the same.
Any one with same issue? Any way to fix it?
you can fix with root
you need to edit build prop though
Ill paste some things for you to put in your build prop later

I have centered metering, ISO auto, auto-focus i have already tried single, multi and touch focus.
I've also tried taking fotos with original camera, camera FV5 and Lenovo supercamera. All of them with the same problem.
Taking photos with flash at night, preview is really fast and i can't see if it do the same like without flash...
I have to try to record with my brother's Honamy, maybe it's visible while recording that way, since i can't capture screen while taking photos...
The worst problem is when i try to take macro photos or taking photos with super macro lens. Being really hand-stable isn't enough. I have to get used to this focus issue :/

I have only moded notification bar, Home.apk, and Camera (cybershot)... and build.prop but only adding lines not related with camera.
Maybe it's my phone's fault... Thanks anyway for your help.

So after a decompile I was sifting through the smali file and noticed something. First, some super odd 3K recording resolution - this is in the file dealing strictly with recording video so no, its not for still captures. Anyone have thoughts/input on this?
Also, we can record at 60 fps in 1080p. Albeit only at 14mbps (yeah, so I'm going to modify that ) but how great is that?! Now people can stop asking for it. Before anyone asks - I have no idea if this carries to 4.4 but I'm sure it does.
If anyone wants proof and doesn't want to decompile the apk on their own - say so here and I'll post the smali.
UPDATE:
Well I did it. Haven't done any extensive testing but I managed to record two videos without any issues. There may be issues so as always - be careful. I tested this on Wicked v10, it should work on any 4.3 TW ROM but only time will tell. I need to add that so far its limited to about 10 seconds. Past that it drops to 30 again, not sure why yet.
This is my modified camera. What does that mean? Recording bit rates are higher (both audio and video, 1080 and 720). Video records at 60 fps (keep reading if you don't know why that matters).
Bit rates:
1080p: 20 mbps @ 60fps
720p: 17 mbps @ 60fps
Audio: 320 kbps @ 48 KHz
For those that don't understand why 60 frames per second matters it really comes down to quality. For analyzing videos, editing them, capturing frames for a still shot, even general viewing. It allows you to slow a video down (same concept as those super slow motion cameras on TV). Videos just seem more fluid overall also, when played at normal speed.
I'm sure someone can elaborate on the above better than myself.
This is just the apk. Not a CWM installer package. So you'll have to install it manually. One you replace the stock SamsungCamera2.apk you'll have to reboot. Please be mindful of how large these video files will get. Let me know if there are any bugs (I'm sure there will be a few).
Here's the link. It's on my Google Drive.

So I modded the camera to record 1080p and 720p both at 60fps on the standard settings. Both with higher bit rates for audio and video. So far it installs and works flawless. Can't say much for recording since it's nighttime and I'm not about to disturb my pregnant wife
Will update tomorrow with results. If it all looks good I'll update with a test version in the themes and mods section.

How did the camera changes go I'm interested in testing it also!
Good, but it didn't get over 31fps so I'm doing some more edits. Hopefully I'll have it pinned down soon and post it for testing.

When you get it working, can you build it into an .apk for those of us that don't use custom recovery? I'm stock 4.3 rooted, but don't want to trip KNOX flag just yet
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can try. I think all you have to do us drop it right into /system/app. Though I think with your type of install it installs that to a different partition and I don't know which one.

Well I'd be happy to test it out for you, either method

I can test it for you on TW4.3.
Still doing some work, just so you know I haven't dropped this.
Also I've found a couple other interesting things while digging around. I don't want anyone to get their hopes up on these two but here they are.
1: In fast mode our rear camera has two options - 60fps and 120fps. The latter is limited to 720p from what I can tell and I'm not sure if anyone would want that. Though on a higher end display (TV or whatever) it might be handy. In the real world though, I have no idea if it would be ok for the camera module. Not to mention the file sizes would kill your memory and battery even if I dropped the bit rate. We'll see I guess - That's what owning Android is about
2: UHD. 'nuff said. I'm having trouble finding the exact 4K resolution listed but UHD is listed in it as an option.
Like I said - don't get your hopes up on those two. They're a bit far fetched, though I know Sammy underused this phones camera. Battery life would be the reason for that.
If anyone with experience writing apps or any devs read this, I would appreciate the help.
I'm subscribing to this thread. Have high hopes

Way cool. I'll be following this. Will this work on any ROM?

Excuse me if I am not overly optimistic...
Usually the development model is working in a logical and chronically method & not backwards.
First you publish out the solution (Application) even if it's not completed & then your advertise it or asking for testing volunteers.
Its not about bring out an idea, it's about making some user excited about it & then tell everyone there are issues, delays...etc.

quite curious as to if the phone can even handle 120fps at 1080p. others have said UHD was not supported due to chipset limitations within the 320 vs the 330 found in int/note 3 which i call bs on. i highly doubt the chips are limited in that way, if anything maybe the native api was removed for the 320 firmwares. as you say UHD is listed... when your done tinkering perhaps you could see if you can force all recording to the external SD as the current setup utilizes the internal sd card for video feeds/burst shots due to the higher bus interface. class 6/extreme sd chips i think can handle 1080 properly at 30fps according to some sites.
nvm my mistake just burst shots are saved to the internal regardless video feed obeys the camera setting.
Any update?

Not yet. I can't get it to work at 60 fps only editing the apk. Not giving up though, I just had to take a break because of no sleep. My pregnant wife keeps me up tossing and turning.
I doubt the kernel is limiting the frame rate, or if that's even something that would be in a kernel. I don't touch those - I think I'm far too green for that and have no idea where I would start.
I'm off today so I'll have a chance to mess around with it some more and hopefully have something for you to test that does more than say "recording failed".

It must be kernel related, I say this because some custom kernels on this very forum can't even handle the slow motion option in the camera. They crash your phone and make it reboot. BUT the stock kernel can do it? So maybe some kernel tweaking will get the fps to 60

Hey, what exactly did you do? I am using the Note3 camera so I don't wanna install the attached apk in the OP. Plus, I could probably turn this into an xposed module for you. Making future mods easier.
Sweet Thank u! How do I exactly install this?

I would still stick with the Note 3 camera for now. It's still being very buggy. It looks like there are definitely some other mods that need to be done other than just the apk. I get frame drops in the logs and every now and then it throws and error that "the device might be doing too much" and drops 40+ frames.
Currently all I did to the apk was editing a smali file. Then a couple reboots and let it settle for a few minutes. I just need to figure out the frame drops.

Depends on what method you like. The easiest it to use a file explorer (root explorer or another one). Mount the /system as rw and replace your current samsungcamera2.apk, then change the permissions to rw-r-r. Make sure to backup your current one of course. Also remember, this is for testing so there will be issues. Logs and feedback would be great too.
