I am terribly unsatisfied with the camera on the nexus. i have added the video and audio mod to make the video record at 20mps i was wondering if there is any type of mod or hack or system edit that i can do to be able to make my picture quality better as well? and hopefully the front facing camera as well

As far as I can tell, the built-in camera app only lets you use the front facing camera to take still photos, and not to record videos. (Seems odd since the front facing camera is presumably designed to support video for video real time video calls...) Anyone know how you can record video with the front facing camera?
you'll probably need a 3rd party software to use that camera for Self video blogging.
Unless they add it later down the track.
Fring allows you to use that camera for video calls. But yes, Its just a matter of someone developing a app.
has anyone found or made a app for this yet?
I wouldnt bother to be honest it is a pile of wank. But anyways there is an app ive seen before that can record via the normal camera and records you through the front camera as you record.

Do you remember what the app is called, because I have a Galaxy Tab and my theory is: if it works for Galaxy S, it will work for the Tab.
is called quick video mail
Phone's video camera
Hi,
I have XPERIA X10 with DiKeJ's Gaming ROM 2.3.3, which has the stock camera app.
Although the video camera records at 720p the results are really disappointing. The quality much lower than other HD cameras like those in the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S, and it looks like the frame rate is lower too.
Is there any way to improve it?
Why u dont ask the creater of the rom?
Sent from my SO-01C using XDA App
Because the rom is not the problem, the video quality was the same with the stock rom and other roms I'd installed before I installed this one (some of them even had other camera apps and still there was no change).
I've searched for any solution but nothing I've found actually worked, so if someone know any mod or something else I can do that will improve my video camera I would like to hear.
I know the device isn't out just yet, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a sample of Nexus 4 camcorder yet? (Front & Back). I rely heavily on my cameras for work & for other reasons & not to bash the G-Nex, but the camera sensor on this device is a little underwhelming to say the least. I heard the camera hardware was based off of the AT&T 8mp Optimus G, but I'm not sure if that's an actual spitting image of what we can expect from the N4.
Any links or input would be greatly appreciated in advanced. Worst case scenario, 10 days isn't too far away!
Here you have some video samples:
Hope is what are you looking for :good:

Thanks sooo much for the quick reply with content. The actually image quality is quite an improvement, but my problem lies with the FPS & the audio to a certain extent. I wasn't expecting perfection, so I'm overall happy with what we have here. I'm sure it'll get better between camera mods & software updates. Thanks again.
The mic makes the video so crap, I tried to record video with my GS2 once upon a time and it was far worse than my old iPhone 4 which had such amazing audio quality. I mean I went to Reading last year and the iPhone 4 was super clear, picked up good bass and sounded great but the GS2 just sounded like I was rubbing a plastic bag over the mic and the bass just killed the mic all together.
So if the audio sucks then there is no point to it shooting video tbh. I just have a separate camera though so it doesn't bother me too much though.
I would love it if someone uploaded the original video file from the phone. Youtube seems to always use an aggressive compression on user uploads, I rarely see good 1080p videos on the site, even from pro cameras.
Make sure to go fullscreen when watching the video and turn your youtube video to 720p HD.
Can anyone help ....
I get HEAVY compression artifacts on the video recordings at 1080p on the nexus 4 itself - even when I upload to the PC. The sound and video is compressed sounding too.
Hi all, I 've been thinking of buying a new phone & I really like the g2 very much but the only thing that is stopping me is the camera performance.
Can someone please tell me after the Jishu/xdadebb mod how is the camera performance under low light, how is the autofocus in low light also is the continuous autofocus in the video problem resolved. How much is the shutter lag after the mod.
I really want to buy this device for the camera & its under my budget if the camera ain't good enough even after the mods I may go with oppo find 7a/oneplus one which are in the same budget but have better camera.
I dont capture my photos in low light. But the camera is pretty amazing with xdadebb mod, and Mi2Raw enables the G2 to capture raw footage as well.
The G2 and G3 has the same camera sensor, just that the G3 has a Z-Axis image stabiliser and laser autofocus. So if I were you, I'll go look at those camera comparisons on review sites comparing the G3, OnePlus One and the Oppo.
Edit: Video performance is pretty good too. xdadebb camera mod allows for tap to focus in video to focus your subject and it works well. It has object tracking too!
Edit 2: With dorimanx's kernel, I was able to turn down the mic gain when I was at a concert. That + the stereo recording = pretty awesome recording
Thanks @lowjinyik.
Anyone else using these mods please comment about the low light performace after the mod.
I haven't tried taking pictures in low-light conditions yet, I should, will do and compare later but under bright, sunshine outdoor, with Normal mode, I see virtually no difference in term of performance and image quality. There are several features that I haven't tried out yet.

The low light camera quality is good. The mod makes very little difference to low light pictures.
Thanks guys for your responses. I think I might go with oppo find7. It's better than the g2 in every aspect except battery life & OS updates. Which can be taken care by the VOOC charger & custom roms respectively.
I have discovered something shocking. If you use the stock camera 1080p on stock camera app, it feels like its 480p, and the 4k feels a bit more like 720p. Well i have discovered somethign weird. On any gcam when you press and hold the camera button when ur in photo mode, it takes a video. Well i have realised that the video it takes is differnt than if you took it with the video option and not the video option on the photo option. The one where you hold the shuter, the quality is MUCH MORE better over stock or anything. I dont really know how this works lol can someone pls explain. Im posting screenshots here.
The screenshots below are samsung 1080p vs gcam 720p. Gcam wins by a long shot. And if you put sammy to 4k gcam still wins at 720p somehow. Just amazing.
What gcam mod are you using? I've been looking for something that will work fine for the A70 for a while now.
