i9505 Front Camera Low Quality

Good afternoon all. Got an issue that I can see several posts about but never quite got any answers (please correct me or guide me in the right direction if I missed something!)
Long story short, any photo I take in the front camera with my S4 (seemingly regardless of what ROM) results in blurry shots. Snapchat takes fine shots, which confuses me.
The results with any camera app using almost any of the available settings, although varying, give the same basic result. Blurry/low quality images. I haven't yet checked the actual resolution output yet but they have all been taken using full res (2.1mp) and the next setting, if I remember correctly, is 1.6mp.
ROM-wise it seems irrelevant as to what one I use. I had official Samsung 4.4 (I believe) when I got the phone a few months ago, but then went back to using my iPhone briefly. When there was a decent Lollipop released I switched back to the S4, but the front camera issue persists.
Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance and if I've missed anything I should have said let me know.

So you say you had the issue on the official stock too?
If it happens across multiple roms then it's mostly a hardware issue. Or you just have too high standards for the camera

Hey thanks for the reply!
I BELIEVE it worked fine on the stock firmware. It's not an expectation issue, as, for example, Snapchat takes photos that are exactly like what it shows on screen. The photos look incredible on the live preview on the camera app, its the output that's bad quality. I'll try show what I mean in uploaded photos in my next post.

Excuse the face...

Very ironically I've just had a message on my phone saying 'updating camera software please wait' which SEEMS to have made a slight difference.. Shall see if that continues, but it's still outputting at much lower quality than is displayed.

When you're installing roms, do you wipe everything?

Lolipop based on Google play editon ones or any AOSP, CyanogenMod roms have really bad quality in terms of front camera. that's why i'm stuck on touchwiz because it has a better camera with so much modes. Front and back. :good:
So if you want good camera. go back to touchwiz. But iPhones has a great camera for selfies. so keep the iphone if you take a lot of selfie.

what's the difference between hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced?

On older versions, HDR+ On was known as HDR+ Auto while HDR+ Enhanced was known as HDR+ On. Just a simple name change, but confusing to end users.

There is no gain that justifies using the Enhanced mode. Stay on HDR+, this mode have ZSL (zero shutter lag).

Thank you I was looking for a thread like this! I found it weird that other phones models have very active threads dedicated to modded Google Camera and we have virtually nothing, even though Google Camera modding started on the the Mi 5s by developer B-S-G on the 4PDA forum.
Also I was having a bit of hard time to reliably find the latest version to conveniently keep it up-to-date (I was still running one of the early mods from august) but luckily somebody here on XDA has a thread with B-S-G's latest version that seems to be maintained well, so:
If you're looking for the latest version of B-S-G's modded Google Camera check out this thread in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 subforum
(and verify if it's really the latest with this message on the 4PDA forum, currently that is V5.1.016_V1.3a)
Proper B-S-G Mod settings for Mi 5s
Anyways, I was looking for the proper settings for the Mi 5s but it seems the settings have been renamed since the OP. I currently have them set to:
Model: Pixel XL (corr)
Config camera HDR+: Pixel 2016 Zsl HDR
HDR+ parameters: Default
Manual fixed black level offset: off
Final jpg quality HDR+: 95% (Default)
Compress RAW(*.DNG): on
Is there anything I could improve in that?
And lastly, I was wondering if it's possible yet to enable motion photo's somehow? And if not is that being worked on? I think I saw it was mentioned by B-S-G on the 4PDA forum somewhere.

Lol, there Is an updated thread about that here , on the mi 5s forum.
U shoud search better. :good:
Also this very thread Is much of the same as the camera thread, the hdr+ port thread AND the UP to date flashable hdr+ thread.

Great topic dude. I'm here to ask you about the resolution of the pictures taken by the front camera. Here, in the Google Camera the maximum resolution for a picture in the front camera is 1920x1080p otherwise in the MIUI camera app (ported) I realized that the resolution is 2688x1512 pixels! You know that there's a way to increase the resolution on the Google camera for the front camera? Because the pictures taken by the Google camera are amazing! It's a punch on miui camera!

Here are some more links for the Google camera app. I've personally found the version made specifically for the Mi5s give the best results. Better color and details overall.

model for camera hdr+, i think is better with pixelxl or pixel2xl
but it takes really long to take 1 picture, only tested in really low light conditions with flashlight on.
now tested in daylight, there is isnt real difference in speed to take picture.
by my opinion bsg doesnt have so vivid colours as arnova. some difference in details for some pictures in favour to arnova in some to bsg
faster in low light conditions in general with bsg, better colours with arnova.
to my opinion.

If you turn minimal HDR smoothing, then taking picture takes significantly faster, try that option does arnova have stabilization in video? (1080p30)

I think OP should be specific about what ROM used for the testing. Does not work on stock N tho.

This is specific for Oreo (AOSCP ROM by kessaras) so we can find the best gcam app for it

I'm still using arnova's app (1.6) since I couldn't get portarit on BSG to work.
Furthermore to me the arnova apk takes better pictures, way less noisy

Camera2 API support?

Does this phone have it?
If yes, is the support enabled by default? Or do we need to root and enable it later by editing the build.prop?
Can someone with this phone post a screenshot of this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe

Hi awaaas,
Looking for this phone too? I have created the lounge at kaskus, you might want to check it out. Reminds me of old days.
Unfortunately, no C2A support yet, at least not in the demo unit.

Long time no see, bud... :highfive:
One of my relatives wants this phone, just want to make sure some of the phone's capabilities that reviewers often left out. For comparison, Redmi Note 5 Pro, the one that compared to this phone a lot, has Camera2 API support, but only if you edit the build.prop first (according to my friend that have it, I don't actually have that phone).
For me myself, I might will be still using my Mi 5s for foreseable future...

:highfive: Yeah, probably several years.
If me, it is me myself who are looking for this phone. RN5P still disabled the C2A, need (temporary) root to enable it. Same with this phone, if no C2A support out of box, at least we can enable it using the same method. But there is a rumour about major OTA update at 30 April. We expect to see a lot of improvement compared to the somewhat "beta" ROM from the media review unit. Let's hope to see the C2A has been enabled in this major update.

Haven't seen it anywhere yet. Only the 4K DCI/UHD and the 1080p has EIS already in the retail unit. The camera app seems will be updated tomorrow to support it. Hopefully, we can see the C2A support too in the next update.

Gcam will not work without camera api2 ! Let's wait and see...

Hope they will update to add support soon. Don't let the stock camera app be the limiting factor of image quality!

I hope someone comes with a GCam port for this phone. As far as what I tested, the phone's rear cam is quite good (except for very low light scenarios).
Also, the front cam desperately needs better balance in colors, dynamic range. Currently, selfie quality is quite decent, the colors are not accurate/natural even under good light (skin has a red tinge). And overall, brightness, noise level etc., could be tweaked a bit too.
Any suggestions for a different app that can bring out better photos out of the front cam??

Thanks!
Is this the default settings? or do you need to edit the build.prop?

Hey Aniket, thanks for the SS, can you install this Camera2 API Probe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector app, actually, in this app its gives the individual camera parameters for both front & back camera & earlier the app link that I gave, that shows the overall result so basically it was my bad so I'm requesting you to install this app instead now this time & ost the SS once again as I want to know all the parameters for both of the cam of this hone individually.
& is it possible to install Gcam in this hone without rooting or is there any tools available like this MI A1's AIO Toolhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-mi-a1-tool-drivers-unlock-t3742857 so that it can be rooted & unlocked automatically & that can be used by all the novice users, & whether all future OTA updates will be available if bootloader is unlocked & rooted & warranty will be voided or not
