Looking around though on the n4 I can't see much

Check out Camera FV-5 (the lite version works great for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...9tLmZsYXZpb25ldC5hbmRyb2lkLmNhbWVyYS5saXRlIl0.).

Video camera (auto)focus not available

Hey again XDA,
I know the nexus 4 is capable of focusing the camcorder for macro and other shots. However, for some reason, on cm 10.1.2 and .33 radio I don't get this option. Does anyone have any success on other radios/bootloaders or has dealt with this issue? Thanks very much.

You mean't Camera, Camcorder records video.
This could be either an issue with the camera application or it is missing from the application.

I meant video. S3 has a feature to actively focus on whatever is happening (automatic focus).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Well the Nexus 4 doesn't have such thing but you can attempt to get the S3 Camera but it may cause issues (gallery is joined to camera).

Oh OK. Does it have regular focus on the camcorder then? For me its just infinite focus, not controllable at all.

Unfortunately the user really has no control unless you record when the device is in the best focus.

This can't be right..

Use lgcamera app. The camcorder recording gives you touch to focus control. I read someone say it reduces the quality but i didnt notice any frame drop or reduction in quality.

Beats Audio

Hi everybody, i beg your pardon for my bad english, anyway, I had a motorola milestone 2 with megabassbests and now i installed the NexusLouderV4B1-TestBuild_2 on my nexus 4. I made a comparison and i found that the megabassbeats is 100 times better than nexus louder. Is there any way to install the mileston bests audio on my new nexus 4?

Try awesome beats. Or viper4android with beats IRS.
You will find both on xda in Android development

The Nexus 4 is a bit tricky to find that sweet spot in AMAZING sound. After hours of trial and error (No kidding), and previous knowledge of experience from other devices. I've found that for the Nexus 4 you need to flash the Nexus louder mod, and combined it with a custom kernel and use that kernel's sound settings via either trickster mod, franco kernel updater app, or faux123 kernel enhancement pro app. I'm sure there are others, but those are the main 3 I alternate in between.
I could go into specifics about my settings and my setup, but as everyone tends to say people's preference and tastes in music are all different.
I hope this helps some.
I'm using the paranoid android custom ROM Abd I do not want to change it. If that the only solution i resign myself

If you're looking to get great sound through the rear firing speaker then this phone isn't for you; viper4 android however works wonders on headphones.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
No, i'm looking to get a grat sound through the headphones. I just thought that isn't strange that the mileston's beats audio works better than the N4 one

If you want better camera pics try xdabbebs or jishnus camera which both improve stock camera a lot

Mine is having the same issues. See my thread. I am starting to think my camera is not defective but rather the camera is garbage compared to the s4.

I tried xdabbebs when my phone was rooted and for some reason after installing that it's sent me in to boot loop lol

Wow those are really ****ty pics. My G2 takes excellent photos.
Maybe your unit is a dud or any scratches on the glass cover?
Here is a blind camera test, G2 (Uses Sony's Exmor sensor) scored better than GS4

I've emailed Lg they ask for some sample photos bet they say they look ok lol
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
lol... btw just out of curiosity, which camera app do you use? stock or aftermarket?
i'm asking you this because i get better images when i use either xdabbeb modded camera app (you can find it here under developer's area subforums) or DSLR Camera Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera) which gives me even more settings to fiddle with...
you can also try some other camera apps like
Camera FV-5
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite
or MX camera...
Stock I don't have it uprooted fv-j5 just bought it
