Can someone help me!?

I have a prom coming up soon but I want to take pictures with good quality. Unfortunately the stock camera this MIUI ROM came with sucks. Can someone upload a Camera.apk file to help? If you can get the best one I will be so happy, or if you know how to improve the one OsiMood MIUI 2.5.13. Please help me at the best if your ability.

Can anyone help me!?

I don't have the stock camera.apk I can give you. But there are a few 3rd party camera apps on the Market that others claim are better than stock. Vignette is pretty good (but a paid app), and FxCamera and Camera360 are supposed to be pretty good too (both free).

I believe you are limited to the pixel density of the camera itself, which isn't whole dependable on the software..
Sorry for not throwing you an .APK that would be useful. Just wanted to let you know that your thread is being read.

You're not going to get decent pictures indoors with the DZ (or just about any phone, for that matter) -- especially in a dimly-lit dance floor. You'd do better to buy or borrow a digital camera with a good flash.

Some claim that various camera apps will handle auto white balance, auto focus, auto ISO, etc. differently, possibly resulting in better photo quality. Although I've used the HTC camera app and stock AOSP, and played around with Vignette a bit, and haven't noticed a big difference.

I understand I cant increase my camera pixels due to hardware, but I had older ROMs with better picture quality l'm just wondring if someone has a good Camera.apk on there ROM they can give to at lease give me better picture. This MIUI ROM made by OsiMood is not good at all, and I know it can be better. So if anyone else can take there Camera.apk and upload it that will be very helpful.

Flash a new ROM!

Need good pictures for Prom - Prom = dark - Phone doesn't like dark - Can't take pictures with phone - Need DSLR with flash - Hire DSLR with flash - DSLR with good flash likes dark - Take pictures - I have good pictures from Prom

So im guessing no Camera.apk files are avalible!?

- download some different roms and extract camera.apk from the zip,
- make a backup of your existing camera.apk
- start moving camera.apk from roms you've downloaded and find the one that you like most.

Did you check out the Market apps I suggested? Its not like the AOSP stock camera app is all that great anyway. Probably be easy to find equal or better 3rd party app, if its a hassle to get the camera apk.

Your going to prom! Drink more beer and they will all look better in the dark! Lol I couldn't resist that one. But you could also buy a cheap digital camera at wally world for around $20 that will preform better in the dark then your g2.

Camera app - old vs ics new

Hi guys
I originally asked this in the Q&A section a week ago, but I wasn't sure if it belong here in the apps section instead. Since I didn't get any replies, I'm thinking maybe I should have posted it here to begin with. I hope someone in this section might be able to help.
If I'm not supposed to put this in two areas, I apologize. I'm not too forum saavy; just looking for help for my issue.
Thanks a lot guys
--- Original post ---
Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.

I'd love to see the old TW camera on CM9. The ported TW apps thread a couple posts down mentions this, but i haven't seen anyone post a successfully working version yet.

Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can figure it out for us. *crosses fingers*
Wishlist? Anyone?

Lol....I was running the peoples rom last week and was wondering the opposite. If there was a way to put the ics camera on that tw rom. That's an awesome rom and has the tw camera (obviously), but maybe just flash that and try it for a while?
On a side note.....Not sure if its just me, or does does the ics camera take much better (normal) pictures, even when zooming in quite a bit? I've been wondering if something was done in ics to better utilize the camera hardware.

I find the ICS camera to be really nice for just normal pics. Definitely faster and does seem to be on the clearer side. But I'm really needing that old auto panorama/wide shot feature. (non sweeping motion or ghost line up).

[Q] Camera App for the S3?

I don't know if anyone has asked this yet, sorry if they have.
I'm thinking about putting cm10 on my s3 but one of the features I really like on stock is the camera. I love a lot of the features, but here are the ones i'm mostly looking for:
burst
face detection
panorama (not vital but would be nice)
filters (before taking the photo)
low light
Does anyone know of an app with the same or similar features? Or if there's anyway to get load the stock camera app onto CM10?
Thanks for any help.

I can confirm that any AOSP-AOKP Rom, like CM10.1 has those features embed in the stock camera app, and actually more. I love the camera on vanilla JB. Try it, but make a nandroid before, in case you don't like it.

Does the AOKP app allow you to lock focus to infinity, or (like the stock AT&T-version app), does it only give you a choice between 'autofocus' and 'macro'?

[Q] Camera problems and other issues With CyanogenMod 10

Hi guys.. I finally installed jellybean on the phone, but there was some issues regarding some crucial(for me) functionalities of the phone;
Mainly the camera, It takes pictures with the green thing of course (I don't mind this one), It shoots videos with focusing and all, but it doesn't really shoot 30fps (I tried apps like lg camera and camera ics but it's all the same). There was some talk here about changing some system configuration file to make the camera shoot in 26fps, but that doesn't seem to be making any sense... Now the second thing is third party apps that use the camera, as for example camscanner that has some weird issues inside of it.. I open the program, I switch to batch mode(this one takes a lot of pictures), I take the first image which goes normally but after that all I see is what I had taken, I can take new images, but there is no preview(and no focusing). Notice that this app worked in gb, and had no problems, And that the whole range of apps that shoot multiple images has the same problem (handy scanner for example) . So did any one get around those issues... I heard that CM9 is better so can anyone confirm if camscanner is working there (the batch mode), Or maybe if someone is using a different one that doesn't have those issues ; These are really some serious drawbacks to the available custom roms, So I think they should have been at least mentioned.
Thanks in advance !

Dude you should really read what Arco said about the SGW camera in CM before claiming it´s not working that well like in GB. It´s a dirty hack to make it work at all so it will also not work well with all the camera apps out there. In CM9 its working a bit better than in CM10 but regarding smoothness and compability with other apps it´s about the same. So you are not telling us something new and everyone who is using CM9 or CM10 is also aware of this.
So if this is a big issue for you, flash back to GB and use this instead.

Thanks for the response, I might do that ... As for now can someone confirm that camscanner is not working on CM9 as well ?
I also have the same problem with the app above in camera jb+ (Takes the first picture, freezes), and I heard that some people are using it flawlessly... So please what rom are you using ?

Thanks for the response. I myself noticed that the camera even in CM10 is faster than stock, except for some issues... However someone just confirmed to me that the issue that I'm talking about here is present in cm9 too, so it seems that the camera is the same in all avaiable cyanogenmods for this phones !

[Q] Quick question on whether to ditch stock ROM

Afternoon folks,
I'm debating whether to root my D855 and ditch the stock ROM in favour of CM12. I don't there's much about the stock install that I'd miss, but one thing I'm wondering about is how the Google Camera app compares to the LG one. Has anyone noticed any pros/cons to using the camera after flashing a custom ROM? I love the ability to take a selfie by clenching my fist, but I rarely take these so it wouldn't be too much of a loss.
Also, does CM12 improve control over the speaker volume? With the stock install I have a huge gap between silent and the first volume level - particularly annoying for alarms.
Any comments/thoughts appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gray
