[Q] nexus 4 camera help

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

[Q] Camera performance after Jishnu/xdabebb mod?

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.

S6 4K video replaces a YouTubers DSLR

So check out this review video for the Belikin WeMo recorded using the 4k video in the Galaxy S6 then mixed with my pro-mic audio.
Now what's interesting is not just the clean video but also when I came to mix the audio I found the S6 levels were much better than even a Pro-mic, incredible!!!!
The s6 is beyond every expectation I had and the fact it replaces a DSLR I use for my review work is just mind blowing, obviously flexibility is compromised with the S6 vs a DSLR but even so it's very impressive.

i9500 Camera quality improvement

Guys.. Do you agree that the camera quality of our i9500 device sucks? It is very strange to notice that comparing to the iPhone camera it is a couple of time worse! How can the camera of the Galaxy S4 Active shoot videos and make photos much more better quality than this device? Is there any development thread here where people create patches or camera mods to uncrease the quality? I saw a video recorded on an S4 Active in a car at night with only the dim light of the car on... and the video was so damn stable and the lights where so damn optimized.... how come the i9500 camera be so low on quality? Can you advice me anything to rise up this thing?

Make sure your lens is clean! If it's not 100% clean, your camera will perform A LOT worse.

I use an I9505, and we have the Galaxy S6 camera, which makes our video very stabilized. Perhaps you have that too availible?

We have a port for that but the ROM it'self is soooo very unstable... What I am asking is maybe that there are some settings that are limited or some blocked ones, who knows...Because I read the cameras are the same between S4 models... so why should the quality be different?
For example if a light gets a little in the photo, that side of the photo will be very blury, but on an S4 active you never get such mess. On some websites they write that Active has a Back-Illuminated Sensor and i9500 doesnt. Is it because of this? Because other websites write that Active doesnt have and i9500 has... It is very confusing...
Anyway, if any Active user is reading now, let's post some comparing images for people to understand what I am talking about.
Even others say that their i9500 camera is very low on picture stabilization/ focus comparing to s2 and s3 models.... Why did Samsung make it like that?

High quality (video) camera SmartWach?

Hi all,
I´m looking for a SmartWatch with a high (or not poor) quality camera for video recording. I was thinking that ZGPAX S8 could be OK but it seems that the video quality is poor.
I have seen that the Samsung Gear S2 has 720p video quality but it could record 15 seconds clips and has an only 300 mAh battey.
Anybody knows the SmartWatch I´m looking for?
Thanks a lot.
Best regard.

I am looking for the same.
What is the smartwatch that record with the best video quality at the moment?

Anyone?

I have an old ZGPAX S8 with 3Mp camera. It's contain an OV3660 CMOS sensor.
The quality not to good. It's record a foolish 864x480 resolution,but 1:1 ratio video.Video length not limited by software. The optic quality also not to good. Newer S8 come with 2Mp camera,i think the quality better and the aspect is 4:3,but only 480p if i right. You can see my best photos with s8 here, but i haven't got video at this moment.

Thanks a lot!
About the SAMSUNG GEAR 2 seems like it have an acceptable quality. But is there any way to record video from it WITHOUT pairing it to a phone?
