Camera auto focus

Is there a way to mod the camera so your can manually focus the shot? Sometimes when in macro mode it over focuses and the image is still blurry.
Thanks

not sure if this is what you were asking for. simply touch the spot on the screen where you need focus before taking a pic?

No that just tells the camera to focus on a specific area of the screen. What I'm wanting to be able to manually adjust the amount of focus on an image

ok, you need "focus ring" like capability. I am not aware of any cam app that can do that. i don't know whether the camera firmware provides interfaces for such (low-level) functionality, but an indirect method would be to use a reference ruler in the pic for gradually adjusting focal length ( still a pain, I know).

If it is the stock gallery which you are talking about than it is a bug. I have the same issue.

That's probably because the pictures aren't in 16:9 aspect ratio.
If you took them with the camera app, the default ratio is 4:3. Note 2's screen is 16:9.
You can change the camera's ratio in camera > settings icon > resolution.

Can't find that in settings and it is stock camera app doing my head in

Nexus 4 Display control

Has any of you tried this app yet? maybe its useful to get rid of the yellow tint of the nexus 4? It was made by Francisco Franco
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexus4displaycontrol

Judging by the reviews it should work. I know im getting it once i receive my N4.

It does work. I just don't know what each setting combinations look the best.

I don't notice yellowing yet. Guess if it appears, I know how to fix it now. Since it looks like software, why isn't this fixed?

Can someone post their settings for this app. Black's are too light and colors not as vibrant as when using cm calibration settings on the previous nexus'

This is a different type of screen. Blacks will not be as deep nor colors will it be as saturated as super amoled. As far as settings I use 255 190 255.

I use Fauxclock. It's got CPU/GPU clock and voltage control, in addition to color (and gamma, when ROMs/kernels begin to support it). You can also select an IO scheduler.
Basically it does all the same stuff as Voltage Control, SetCPU, Incredicontrol, and N4 Display Control, but it's in one app so it's overall cheaper.

I went to a Best Buy today and compared my N4's screen directly to a Optimus G. I didn't actually think my screen looked yellow at all until I compared it to the Optimus G. My N4's screen looked terribly yellow, was less bright, and had worse viewing angles than both of the Optimus G's my local Best Buy had on display.
Based off the first post in this thread for the GNex, I set my Nexus 4 to settings of:
182
190
200
I haven't tinkered too much but this seems to make things a bit better.
Has anyone else experienced the screen turning very yellow, almost brown, when viewing from the corners of the device? I am pretty unhappy with the viewing angles on the phone, especially after comparing it to the Optimus G, which is supposed to have the same display.

Do you think there is a limit set on the brightness maybe a dev could unlock that limit to make the phone more brighter

This app puts an overlay on top of your screen, so it doesn't really "change" your display colors. Also: the overlay should disappear when you try to install an app because of the security issues with having one in place when trying to install an app. I believe Lux and other similar apps do this too.

But why you can't see it on a screenshot then?

I'm using 185,190, and 220. Looks better than default

The screen settings definitely do not change when you attempt to install a different app.
Why do you say this is just an overlay? It is baked into the kernel.

Hahaha... posted in the wrong thread, sorry. I had another tab open for another Display control app that worked without custom kernel/root.

Thanks for these settings! I myself have a spyder 4 but applying your settings has made the screen much better! Thank you.

Everyone should check out the public spreadsheet in my sig.

did you get a chance to recalibrate it after installing franco-r14?

[Q] Aspect ratio correction

Anybody use it? Is it really even necessary? The only app I've used it with is the speedtest. Just curious to know how others have used it.

I've only used it with speedtest as well.

Used it only for speed test also. I guess only for apps that don't run at the same aspect ratio as us. Which most will. Or resolution.

Where can I change the aspect ratio on certain apps?

Anyone know how to add an app...or how long it takes to show up in the list to adjust the ratio?
I just installed an app that needs adjusted and it is not listed.

On my Verizon LG G2 when I tap on the Aspect Ratio Correction , it takes me to a screen where the apps are listed and I can check the ones I want . But I haven't checked any .

Camera cannot focus near objects !!

Hi all
I've been using this device for long. Recently while taking few pics i realized that camera couldn't on near objects. It can only focus on near objects upto a certain focal length and for lesser distance it focuses on far object and hence subject is blurred while background becomes focussed.. Anyone else having this issue.??

I've just taken a picture of my mouse.
The spot I marked is the spot I let my device focus, its nearly exactly 6 centimeters from the camera away.

I think that's a decent result... I tried to place my mouse a little bit closer, but then the focus couldn't handle it anymore.

If you are running older OS yes it happens, but newer version after 253 closeups are pretty good. 244 takes flawless closeups

Which camera mode are you using..
Yes i am using 244 firmware still it doesn't focus sometimes

It works fine here at 2-3cm, but not with button - You need to tap the screen on the object you need to focus. Try, maybe it will help.

Yep, the camera button doesn't try to focus that closely. If you touch the object on screen it'll focus just fine.

Thanks. I tried but it works much better with Normal mode. superior auto cannot seem to focus

Frankly speaking superior auto takes lit of time to set itself and fails its purpose that is to take pictures in hurry. Custom settings does fantastic job.

Any idea if this behavior can be tweaked? What's the point of a 2-stage shutter key if the focus doesn't work as intended?

Unless most of your shots are macro i'm pretty sure it works.

I think you can use "macro" setting when you take a close up photo.

I never use auto. Always select area and focus manually. Sooo much better
