CM 10.1 Camera quality

I think the camera quality isn't a hardware problem but a software one. E.g. in darkness the camera doesn´t turn on the light when focussing.
In system/lib/hw is a file (camera.msm.8960.so) which should be changed but i'm not able to do this. There must be played with the values. Some clever guys did this in for other phones before.
My phone before was the LG 2x and in that forum they raised quality above 200% of the original one.
I attache the file to work with. Maybe here are some insiders too.

...the only problem is that the camera does not focus when the flash comes in darkness. Or it focuses too early or too late. When you turn on the flashlight on the phone permanently and take a photo, everything is fine. The problem is in CM 10.1 and 10.2.
Isn´t here somebody who knows a trick?

In focal camera you have the option to turn on flash as a torch. I turn it on then take a picture. That fixed for me but I have to agree. The camera quality is bad. Something must be done.

Just use a 3rd party camera app.

I tried some 3rd party apps but that didn't solve the problem that the camera doesn't focus when using the flash. This seems not to be an app problem, it's in the files from the rom like I attached above.
Or do you have a suggestion for an app that solves the problem with focus in darkness?

Hmmm...as for me I don't have that issue. I am using Epsilon V3 ROM by core720, which is based on stock. For camera app, I use snap camera hdr and the new focal camera.

Ok, I tried that rom which is very great, very smooth. Nice. But the camera is still not focussing right with the stock cam or snap camera hdr in darkness at my side. It surely is not an app problem...

Camera focus problem

Hello people. I have a little camera problem.
After a stock update to 03122015 i have noticed that my camera wont autofocus when the object is closer than about one meter or closer. Macro focus is impossible
That wouldent be a problem if i didnt buy a smart watch and i need to scan a QR code on it. And now i cant. Help people!!!! :crying:

Doesn't it focus at all or only when you're coming closer? Elephone changed the camera driver *again* in the latest OS update so it might be possible that they screwed something up.

Try a third party camera app

Tried third party app and even the super lenovo camera app. When far it acts like it focuses but it doesnt and the pic qualiti is nota like in 250172015 rom. And whwn macro it really sucks. Its blurry and it doesnt focus at all.

Yes the autofocus with the latest OTA update doesn't seem to be working well. At least not on close ups.

Camera focus fix?

I have been reading about the focus issue of the nexus5x on xda but haven't really found any fix for it.
Is it a hardware issue? If yes, can it be fixed if i change the camera module on the phone?
My rear camera is unusable as it doesn't focus at all.

you can download open camera enable manual focus in order to see if it's a hardware issue if it focus with manual just reboot your device amd the next time you're trying to take a picture make sure the item you want to focus if it's "hited" by the laser autofocus (its left to the camera)

MI6 Camera Quality

Hi Guys..
Camera quality of MI6 in outdoor photos is really good,
But in door photos there is lots of noise and sometime it looks like VGA camera,
If we enable camera api2 is there any chance we get better in door photos? I saw one thread here for Google camera but focus is not working so sad.
What you guys think in Oreo update we will get camera api2 officially?
Why this is not implemented during release time by Xiaomi strange?

Xiaomi doesn't want to rebuild their camera app to utilise camera 2 Api so they just turn it off.
If you enable it the miui camera stops working.
Google camera is good. It seems to be being developed slowly to work on most xiaomi devices by BSG.
So far on NisseCool's LOS 15 (cam 2 enabled as default) I have g cam working and HDR+ works if you toggle it off and back to "N6 HDR+ auto" in settings menu.
After closing though you have to go back to settings and turn it off and on again but it definitely is almost working.
Without HDR+ it's a very good camera anyway. Fast shooter.
Not sure if it actually offers any benefits over the MIUI camera though so you might be better off keeping the MIUI one for now and see if Oreo enables 2 api.
