Has anyone tried the newer sense camera with panorama capabilities, on the stock sense 1.0 rom. I want to try it, but don't get enough time to dissect the .zips

It won't work on the Sense 1.0 rom, unfortunately.
I was afraid of that. So the interchangeability of things between 2.1 and 3.0 are exclusive to the newer versions of sense only and not with 1.0.

Correct. Certain things from Sense 2 have been backported to work with our version of Sense, (quick settings, Skyraider4) but that usually takes a ton of work and isn't always possible. I know ihtfp tried to get the newer camera working awhile back, but it didn't turn out so well.
I've used panorama a number of times on Sense 3.0 ROMs, and the picture quality is only so-so. Not sure if it's because it exists as an option on a phone (limited on the software side), or becuase it's intended for a slightly different image sensor (limited by our hardware). It's like it crams 180* of landscape into 135* of picture field. There are also some contrast issues from one side to the other. The first shot is always darker than the others.
Does HDR work for anyone? I can take a picture with HDR selected, but the result is indistinguishable from a regular shot of the same subject.
My LG ally had panorama mode and I took some great pics with it. One of them I'm trying to put on google earth.

Hi all.
I don't have enough posts to contribute in the developers' area, but I discovered something of importance with the Bliss Sense ROM for the Incredible.
Many people were saying that the camera wasn't working, and that was a deal-breaker for them in terms of keeping the ROM on their phone. But I found that if I took it out of "action burst" mode and set it to either "HDR" (no flash) or "T Whiteboard" (flash available) mode that the camera works just fine. Really nice pictures, too.
So folks, if you like the ROM and want to try it just a little while longer, you can still use your camera.

Yeah WDfowty posted that was the reason behind the camera FC's. Good lookin out though.
I've had my eye on this Rom and the camera was a issue for me, but knowing this ill give it a shot. Never scared to try a new Rom.
my Dinc
I've run several ROMs on my Dinc over the past few months, but only a few have stayed on it for more than a day or so. Bliss is one of the few.
Nils' Business Gingersense 3D is still probably my favorite as a daily driver, but there's something about this Bliss Rom that I'm really excited about.
The interface is still a little clunky, and there are blank placeholders where wallpapers and themes should be, but this Rom has a lot of potential.
Cheers!

I missed the camera fix the first time around as well. Will be sure to try that.
Hi guys,
I was backing up mu photos the other day and realized my camera shots from my stock, non rooted days were much better.
First, yes I am on a sense ROM, and yes I searched both XDA and google.
Does anyone have the stock camera apk from the official ROMs froyo or gingerbread? I wouldn't mind testing to see if the "old" cameras really were better.
I rarely use my phone for video, but lots for pics. I do not want opinions on what ROM has a better camera, just the stock one so that I can do a backup, test the old one, and compare images.
Once I have the old apk, I will even post comparison photos if anyone else is interested.
Thanks
Umm I think the problem is not HTCcamera.apk
In my opinion the problem is GB kernel
maybe you should download a stock rom nad just take the cam apk out of it ?
+1 for this.. I have the same feelings about photos but I never actually compared.
There's also the ol' scratches on the battery cover's lens issue.. Have you checked that yet? Didn't really specify in what way your new photos are not as good..
The problem is GB with sense, if you want better pictures then use a froyo sense rom or if you want GB you can try Miui or CM 7.10 roms, all the others they make dark pictures when using the flash in the dark.
Thanks for the replies guys, I have the official Telus Froyo ROM but as an RUU. I'll download a rooted stock froyo ROM and do 2 things,
1. Pull the apk and try with my current GB ROM
2. Backup, flash a rooted stock froyo and test.
And yes, I did think of the scratched cover thing, I removed the cover and took pics.......they still lok like sh** compared to my old stock froyo photos.
It migt be a GB thing though, my photos from my LeeDroid froyo ROM days look way better as well.
Thanks again, when I have the time to do all the necaesary backing up, flashing and restoring I'll tack pics and test this out.

i don`t think the problem is gb sense
I agree that the original froyo camera has better quality but not that much better. I use miui and it has a fairly decent camera (with full screen 4mp). It doesn't have 720p video but the video is a lot smoother, tho still not much in terms of quality.
This probably doesn't really help anyone, but the Desire's camera isn't very good to begin with. Honestly, being a photography enthusiast, I am usually quite disappointed with the picture quality from the camera. My previous two phones are Sony Ericsson; A W810 followed by a W960. Despite the W810 having only 2MP and the W860 having 3.2MP, they still took FAR better pictures than the 5MP on the Desire. Especially with the W810, I was thoroughly impressed with it's picture quality and low light performance. Sure the Desire's photos look good on it's screen, but full size on a monitor typically leads to cringing.
I've been considering moving back to Sony phones, specifically the Arc (S). I just need to get some play time with one to test out the camera and ergonomics..
So you're saying that you're a photography enthusiast and you need a phone with a good camera. What do you need it for? An enthusiast always carries some sort of a true (dedicated) camera with him, be it a compact, dSLR or a SLR.
i have same problem after i rooted phone. i installed runnymede ROM but still quality of photographs are not same my first photographs with this phone, nothing changed:S

Try carrying an awkward couple of pounds around with you everywhere.. My phone is on me at all times anyway, so when I see something inspiring, I use what I have. I don't see any point in also carrying a point-and-shoot when I know that a commendable camera can be put into a phone (ie iphone4, Nokia 808) but typically isn't these days.
HtcCamera APK attatched
Attached HTC Camera APK but I dont know if it would do any good. From Runnymede AIO Special Edition.

Same question here...
Following this thread with interest because I know what the TS-er means. Pictures taken with a stock Froyo or GB rom have better quality and especially brighter flash in dark conditions.
I believe this to be kernel-related. My phone's on An-Droid 2.2.0 now (imho the best rom for our devices) and with the custom kernel that comes with it the camera's flash doesn't 'peak' at the moment a picture is taken. Flashing the stock kernel (or an snq one) changed this and now the camera flash is ok again.

I have HTCCamera.apk from USCC froyo stock rom. I already try to install with adb push and reboot, but the camera app won't show up in app list. I want to change the camera.apk from CM7 because the result and features is not good enough. Can I use HTCCamera.apk in CM7?
I had a Gnex, where I would take panorama pics and it was AWESOME. It stitched them together so well, that I had little to no complaints with it. However my LG G2- its awful. I tried taking a 360 bubble picture, and it was terri-bad. I don't understand how it can be so bad, if the stock android has a great feature, how they can make it WORSE on another phone.
Is there a way to get the version that Android has built in to work, and lose this crap that LG tried to do? I assume i'll have to root, and drop a rom on there... but I was trying to avoid that. However- I might over this one issue.

One of the things i think is really bad too. Photosphere was phenomenal on my GNex, on the G2, its almost unusable. Sad bc I love the camera otherwise.
If you're rooted you can install the apk from the Google Edition phones. Works fine for me.
Works fine 4 me
Don't why you're complaining,on my G2 everything works fine.
To make the bubble sphere just take all the photoframes that the phone points out. The real picture will come at the end after "Processing". There it will reprocess all of the frames taken and arrange them propperly.
I'm surpriesed that you haven't seen this until now. Is realy awesome.
But I have 1 question :
How can we publish on facebook these pictures so that the others can see the bubble sphere?
If not facebook.. any other websait?and we can share the link in facebook?
Grid Wall Spin
I have an LG D959 flex. In VR Panorama mode I can't get the "grid wall" to stop spinning. When I hit the shutter a number 3 pops up and nothing else happens. The wall keeps rotating though. Am I missing a setting?
Hey folks. Wondering if someone can chime in on the possibility of this...
I want the Camera app from the factory LG rom to work on AOSP phones. only because its HDR ability was much better than any app I have tried to fill that void since I switched to CM. Also it's Manual focus was a nice feature among many other things.
I assume it'd need LG's Framework as well to make it work, but if anyone can try to piece this together, or get me the files Id need (I'm no longer on LG's rom) Id be very grateful!

Focal is going to perform roughly the same as stock CM camera. We need the stock LG camera from the G2 as it can better interface with the hardware, not to mention has device specific tuning for the hardware. No other camera will be able to compete with the stock G2 camera.
To the request, i spent some time trying to get it to work few days ago. Not much progress, others have posted that hey manged to get the camera app to completely start up and take pictures, i have not made this much progress. Wish they would have posted theirs.
There is already a discussion about this in the Att-dev section.

Focal doesnt work for me. I'm on newest CM nightly, and pressing the shutter button in focal causes a FC every time.
As an update, I took the apks and odexs from the LG rom for LGCamera CameraTestApp, LGGallery and the framework-res from the old rom. I tried sideloading the apps with no luck, they wont even show up in my app drawer. I assume I need to install the LG framework alongside CM framework, but that's beyond me.

The newest CM update added HDR and it seems to work exactly as with LG camera app. But we still need 13MP. CM's app is 8MP currently.

Hi, is it not possible to download the lg package from one of the g2 standard roms some of them have packages with all the original g2 apps in or am i mistaken about what you want ?
Is this what you were looking for?
Edit: It's a WIP, but hopefully it will work well soon.

Although this camera is awesome. We can't use the volume to take pics. Fc every time. Also burst mode Fc and shutter sound still goes off even though you enable it.
I love the ui of lenovo very aesthetic.
Just with burst mode worked with the volume button.

Amalence makes the software the G2 uses for image processing, and they also have their own Camera software. It's virtually identical to LG's stock camera app, it just has a different skin.

If you compare the stock to this, you'll see what I mean. It's the same camera as stock but with a different (IMO, better) skin.

Do you have a source for saying amalence is the company making LG's camera software? The program is similar yes, but not as good in my opinion. The HDR images are slower to snap and don't look as good to me. There is no "VR Panorama" or whatever LG called their photosphere mode

Note that the A_Better_Camera requires time to take 3 separate images, a good 1-1.5 seconds. The results are good tho.
I highly prefer the CM camera's HDR to A better camera, and I can't honestly tell the difference from the lg camera. The only thing missing is photosphere. I can use Focal for that, oddly enough that's the only feature that works in focal for me.

simple question - I have a lollipop based ROM and I know that I dont have the same drivers as XCam so quality will suffer.
But which camera app will give me the highest quality on Lollipop AOSP ? Do note that I'm not talking about which is the best app in terms of features, usability, etc. .... but simple image quality.
As of now, Google Camera seems to my (untrained) eyes as the best option. Sefnap's modded stock camera seems good, but on Lollipop it becomes a little unusable.
1. flash this
2. set it up..you can't set it up later..set up flash, focus, size etc..
3- install this
that's it
it you want to set it up later you have to "downgrade" it from app settings, then reinstall the 3.

Hmmm... Flashing this takes away the transparent soft key buttons and the color changing notification bar. They are both black now. Is this expected?
My god, you are so right. The difference between your modded camera and Google Camera is astounding.
I really wonder why these changes can't be ported at the smali level to an open source camera like CM11S....because this is not leveraging the stock driver framework.
This is amazing
