Anyone have this happen? Is it normal I have a brand new 0004 evo rooted it with unrevoked heard the cam clicking during the process.
Some roms you tend to hear it more when you click on the camera app sounds like it's a focusing noise. Tried Cm 7 latest build and have the same thing happen. Camera works great nice photos even vids. Just wondering if it's normal and anyone else hear the same thing when you run the camera app thanks.
Not new to the forums just curious if anyone has the same thing going on. Hard to find any info on google about 0004 hardware evo's.
I hear that a lot on my phone too. Most on reboots, nothing too random. I don't really think anything of it. It sorta sounds like the aperture opening/closing.

Thanks man glad im not the only one I only seem to notice it more since I got the 0004 not on the older 0003 evo's. How's Cm 7 going for you I used the crap outta it noticed on there nightlys the cam app took a few seconds to pop up for me. Im using elite 3 at the moment swapped clocks and keyboards out and been loving it so far.
Its normal, its just the shutter opening and closing.
Am i losing it or did the degrade the quality of the pictures/camer app majorly? I havent seen any threads on it so im just wondering if its in my head. Is it possible to put the old camera app (even tho its the same) on ei22?
My pictures and video have actually looked better.

o , thats odd , it might just be because i have returned back to an Epic after using an Evo 3d for a while , im not sure. But my girl also has an Epic and i noticed the same thing on hers , after the update when moving the camera its just extremely laggy and lower frame rate and pictures are grainy and more blurry. Same on mine. Front camera tooo. Forget about it , now its absolutley worthless lol.

Yeah even with all the settings correct its just really lacking. Same on her phone too. Its a little better on the MIUI camera app. I have a feeling if i odin back to ec05 or earlier itd be fine again. I used to think the epics camera was the best , better then the evo 3ds and everything but now its just terrible and like i said it happened to both our phones so it has to be something. Im too lazy to odin back though to truly see if it changes back lol.

Idk I think u mite be right. It seems like every update brakes something on the camera. I wonder what they will brake next

well i flashed cleangb rom and it seems to be a tiny bit better , although not by much. i think i may have just been a little spoiled with the evo 3d camera although i dont know how cuz i recall missing the epic camera when using it , lol.
The amount of light around makes a huge difference in FPS/lag. Turn on more lights and see if that helps. Also you can try using Sport mode which has no lag, but it forced the flash off so again you need lots of light.
About the same for me
My camera stayed the same for me after my update to GB. I have mostly taken early morning photos though, and they are grainy, but not too bad. I always keep my flash off though and hold the phone close to my body to reduce shake. The front facing camera has always been pretty bad for me (I didn't expect it to be good though, VGA quality.)
I haven't seen any problems with mine

Honestly, the only feature I was bugged by was the missing stutter off option. Other than that, I say my cameras been as good as always. I DISLIKE HTC cameras with a passion -__- they are nowhere near Sammy's quality. Remember the OG Evo's 8MP vs 5MP?
But then again, to all his own

Hey,
I know this is not a huge thread or the most useful ever, but i didn't wanna swarm threads with potentially irrelevant info.
But anyways, the camera improvements are great. You used to have your frame focused and the shutter came too long after the focus so you often had blurry pictures. Now you actually notice that it refocuses at the exact moment of the shutter (obviously "exact moment" is somewhat an expression). That alone improves the quality by a ton and most likely what they refer to when saying they fixed "stabjlity".
So after you flash to 4.0.4 don't fear to use your camera anymore!
I assume all the camera quality improvements will be present in the latest CM9 nightly based on Android 4.0.4 as well?

Thanks for this. I wonder if there's anything in the update that'll improve the graininess of the pics.

I use AOKP 29, and any AOSP based 4.0.4 should have similar core improvements. So yes, your assumption is right

The graininess does also seem to have major improvements. Overall the quality is A1. I dont wanna risk it and say its like iphone pictures but it sure as hell is one step closer.
This just got me excited...I use my camera a lot. I was going to hold off on upgrading to AOKP 4.0.4 build until they added everything back in but maybe I will make the jump quicker. Post some bad lit pictures up in the picture thread please and specify it is on 4.0.4 please. I am sure a lot of people would be interested to see these...
wow, the camera is muuuch better. is like they discovered how to focus propertly
The yellowish issue when using the flash seems to be gone too.
After testing further I have to say my only complaint is that the shutter speed is not constant, as in sometimes it will take the picture instantly and sometimes it will lag a little (not because of focus)
I still wish there was a way to batch delete photos.

Long press on a photo while in the Gallery and then you can choose which ones you want to delete and delete them!
Lol what? Batch delete has been around since at least Eclair, if not earlier.
A comparison could be great
I've taken a couple of shots and while it's too early to say, I think it's improved.
To be honest a comparasion would be somewhat hard to do. And also... why... Its better, its not really gonna change anything, its not like comparing 2 equivalent and different products.

I think there is. Just long press a pic till a checkmark appears. Then press each other pic you want. Menu, delete.
Has anyone else notice that the camera volume is really loud and there's no way to turn it down other than completely off? Has it always been like this? I thought it use to correspond to notification volume.

O seu atualizou via OTA?
Do you have update via OTA?
So far I see more aggressive post processing correction of white balance on flash shots. Way less blue tint after processing. Also night scene mode usable for macro shots since it focuses on near objects much better. Will experiment more but so far just these two makes it much more usable for me.
Seems to focus a lot faster for me while not being blurry at all.
That's a definite improvement if I'm seeing it right.
One of my main reasons for having the GN (I prefer a keyboard phone) is the responsiveness of the camera. My GN's camera has zero shutter lag running the stock rom rooted with faux123's kernel. When I run custom roms the camera picture taking is slower.
To be clear, the camera is NOT SLOW ON A CUSTOM ROM. It is simply not immediate in the way that it is on stock. Thus far, I have run MCR, Liquid Smooth and CM9 Nightlies. None of them had the camera speed of stock. I may be doing something wrong though. Thought I'd ask before simply sticking with stock rooted.
I'd like to have quick access to settings and other features that a custom rom offers but I absolutely need the camera to be instantaneous as it is on stock.
Any advice?
TIA
It was something they broke on 4.0.3 and fixed in 4.0.4 so try a newer ROM running 4.0.4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Thanks for a fast reply on that. Will give that a go.
Edit: Tried out Liquid and it is really so much slower than stock camera. It focuses for a full one to two seconds before the shutter activates and that kinda delay won't work for me. I'll try some other 4.0.4 roms and see if they do any better this go round. If not, back to stock 4.0.2 until they figure out this data drop bug then stock 4.0.4. I gotta have the instant shutter.
Well, tried several more roms and they all have the focus lag. So I'm back to stock. It's weird to me. Seems that they would at least be the same. Wouldn't necessarily expect a custom rom to be faster in that dept but slower? No matter. Stock android on a Nexus is satisfying enough. I need the instant camera. Thanks again.

Well its the difference between AOSP and the OTA. They are very similar, but still different. That's a perfect example, but 4.0.4 was supposed to improve the shutter speed and make it focus faster.
AOKP ftw. I have the same qualms and AOKP has always been incredibly quick with the camera. I'm running MIUI rom right now and it does take that extra fraction of a second or whatever to focus but I deal I was running AOKP M4 and Franco's M2 (and later his nightlies - don't remember if any were better than the other) and it would capture so quickly that I had to double check my little previous preview window to see if it snapped.
I think on all 4.04 the camera is slower because it allows the camera to focus and take a better pic while before it wouldn't focus if you didn't click manually and would take pic right away. Sometimes this would result in worse quality and I believe that's why they changed it in 4.04.
Could be wrong though..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Typically I find the first pic is slower while it focuses but sequential shots are instant.
Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
AOKP is just as slow. I'm looking at a fresh install of AOKP right now. It's the touch to focus feature all the custom roms have. Makes the camera so slow focusing (and again, when I say so slow, I mean slower than stock which is instant). Stock is the only option I guess. Unless, that is, one of the roms has the option to disable touch to focus. Is there one?
As for what player911 is saying, this is true. The first pic is slower focusing and sequential pics are faster. IF you basically don't move the camera. If you recompose the shot, move around, the camera will do the focusing dance all over again. I have a 20 month old. I need the first shot. AND I'll be moving around, lol. The custom roms just don't cut it in this regard. I've never had a phone where the stock software was decent enough to the point that I'd even consider not going custom but the GN running Android without Touchwiz/Sense/Blur is just awesome and I can definitely live with it. Plus I have my instant camera!!
Back to stock I go.
Thanks folks.
This sounds ridiculous to me. Yes, it does take 1-2 seconds for the first shot to focus, but then all sequential shots are instant. That is the point. So you want to have really blurry photos all the time and have it never focus, even though you're getting an instant first shot? That doesn't make sense to me.
Actually, the camera focusing is something I would like. Sure, the instantaneous thing is nice, but I'd rather a clear picture. Maybe a custom rom could offer the option to switch between the different ways the camera operates (like one option focusing before the first shot the other like it is before .4)?
OP, once on stock 4.0.4, you will see the camera actually focuses.... What you are describing is the behaviour on stock 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 roms
Point camera at subject, allow it to focus on its own, take picture. Just as fast as the 4.0.2 camera if not faster
Sent from my francoPhone
4.0.4 the camera is much better. First shot takes half a second or less to focus, and most of the shots after that are instant if you take them quickly enough.
The quality of the pics is much better now as well.
On 4.0.2 all the pics came out blurry or double vision. Now they are sharp and clear.
The first shot is only blurry if you can't hold the camera steady. I can.
As for 4.0.4 camera taking less than a second to focus, it just isn't true in my experience. I used half a dozen 4.0.4 rims last night to be sure. Why would I want to be rooted and on stock rom if this wasn't truly the case???? Who would want that?
Think about it....

So because it is not true for you, it must be false for everyone else?
Nice logic....
You need optimal light conditions for quick focusing. I focus in a second or less, and each shot after that is instant.

I asked for help finding the fastest camera because I want to catch photos of my son. People gave suggestions, I tried them and they weren't faster FOR ME. I said and clicked thanks for the suggestions. What's the problem here? You've got too much time on your hands. Leave me alone if you can't be helpful.
Focusing is almost instant on 4.0.4. Way better than previous versions of ICS for me.

I don't know. I'm getting ~175Mflops on multi-thread Linpack scores, and no lag anywhere.
How much snappier does the thing need to be?? Seriously?
Edit: I tried the tweaks suggested in said thread, and yea, there's a slight (SLIGHT) increase in transition speed, but seriously if you blink you'll miss it. It's really that nominal.

Umm I dont know , I could definitely see a lag when I was returning to my home screen or while pulling up the Recent Apps List. This tweak fixed that.
P.S. I am on STOCK ROM btw, so I dunno if this issue crops up in any of the rooted devices/CUSTOM ROMS.
