Camera update - Motorola Atrix HD

Do you think the camera drivers or software will get updated???? or is the problem more with the hardware/sensor??? I am using Camera360 app and can get around most of the lighting issues but I was just wondering if there would be something official maybe.

A lot of people have been complaining about the camera, so I don't think an update would be unlikely.

Has anyone tried any of the non-stock camera software? Does it make a difference?

Answered my own question... at least I tested it, the answer is up to you.
Attached below are 2 photos as nearly identical as I could make them. One with ZoomFX and the other with the stock software.
I think that the ZoomFX one is better... now all I have to do is see if I can figure out how to get the ZoomFX one to be widescreen.

Camera quality fix!!!

I simply couldnt stand how poor the picture quality was on my new bionic, so i started exploring ways to make them batter. And im happy to report, I did! I got an application from the market called camera zoom fx, and i promise you, the picture quality is like day and night, so it IS NOT, a hardware issue, its definitely a software issue. you can even change the location it saves the pics to so they save to the camera roll in your gallery just like the stock blur camera app, and you can set it as your default camera. below i have to example pictures i took under low lighting with the flash on. See for yourselves, but since this application has now been rought to everyones attention, i hope we dont have to hear about how ****ty our camera is in all the threads anymore... this is proof the camera isnt bad, the software it uses is... If you have any questions on how to setup the app or anything else, post here or PM me...
A $5 fix
But yes, this is a good app, and definitely proves that it isn't a hardware limitation.

I like Camera 360 alot, its what I've been using to shoot.
I use the HDR(Heavy) feature alot, make stuff look, better.
Is really worth I mean I found version 2.5 for free in internet and really not too good for the $5 but maybe im wrong since latest version is 3.1.4

I found a 3.0.2v on the internet and it was not as good as the stock 1 on the bionic, it was infact worse, so for me i will be using the stock cam app from the bionic, but thanks for sharing
I find that the AOSP camera takes pictures 150% better that the blur based one... this is why I am going to include that as the default camera app in Liberty

i dont know about aosp, but i know that i couldnt find any 3rd party camcorder apps, and the videos on the stock app look just as horrible as the pics when watching them on the phone, but when theyre hooked up to the tv via hdmi they look really great... audio is a lil too sensitive though, if theres a light breeze it sounds like your in the middle of a frickin tornado.. lol

That's kind of why I'm afraid of touching any camera but the blur one...because often times the camcorder doesn't make use of the noise canceling mics, doesn't do HD quality, and doesn't work with the FFC.
So the camcorder doesn't work on this all, either? Wish I would have known this before the refund period ended

With camera zoom fx I can't video record when I click video take me to the stock camera app
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Camera360 just blows this stock camera away.
I was in a dark room and got 100% focus on items that the stock camera couldn't and wouldn't touch.
Not very stable but I'd rather have great pictures instead of blurry **** quality. I don't have a doubt that the Bionic will gain some attention of the developer and they'll be able to fix the camera sometimes FC..
I spent the first two weeks on trying to get this camera to take a decent picture in low light and the results were never that great. Took one photo with Camera360 and it was a night and day difference.

thats cause its not a video recorder, its only a camera, so yes, when u click it, its gonna direct you to the stock app.
I purchased this a long time ago, and I'm glad that I'm finally using it.

[Q] Honest question here...

If things like...
FM Radio
Camera
UMTS Video Calling
etc.. etc..
DO NOT work, and will just as likely NEVER WORK on custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod, then as far as I see it, it's a loss.
So what ~are~ the advantages to using something like CM10, besides the OHHH SHINY SHINY Jellybeen.
I mean yeah I can now use Chrome on my SGS, and that's about the only bright spot I see in it.
But I figure there has to be something more compelling out there that I'm either failing to see, or perhaps unwilling to see.
Would love to see your feedback on this!
People care about different things for there needs. You might want a fully functional camera whereas the other guy doesn't care.
Personally I would never choose CM10 over CM9. Why? Because the video recording and playback on CM10 is annoying and choppy. The battery life is awful compared to CM9. I wouldn't give up CM9 and good battery life, a properly working camera for a very little tiny extra speed.
The next guy to comment might not care about that as much and say CM10 is better.
Preference and wants/needs.

Two things I dislike about SpritFM are:
1: It's not free. Feel free to call me cheap, but why should I have to purchase this App for 1.99€ when it should be standard.
I was under some delusion that Samsung had even made this "Driver" available last summer for the benefit of the Open Source Community.
What ever happened to that? The way I recalled reading it we should've had a working FM by now.
2: I'd also like to air on the side of caution! Its not like SpritFM has the best reputation.
Or this is to say that SpritFM has a reputation of wrecking Phones Speakers.
This may, or may no longer be the case, but again SEE POINT 2!
I also love the Video Call function of my Phone, I have read and understood sadly why that's never gonna happen.
And I'll coincide that the Camera might be just down to FUD.
But again. What are the advantages to updating, besides the OOOHHH I updated because I could?
Is it really just for Chrome?
Well,for me,I don't care about the camera's working or not.'Cause all i want is test new things,new functions.If i want to use ,I'll flash back.

Anyone ever find a resolution for this? I absolutely love this phone but I'm a hardcore user of Snapchat since everyone I talk to uses it for communication and this is ridiculous. Almost makes me want to switch phonese. Does it still work this way on CM/stock tons maybe?
i believe its just the hardware itself the sensor is trying to get more light in and it makes it lag i think (im no expert on cameras) as soon as i got a nexus 5 i noticed how much smoother everything seemed in the view finder and right now i just compared them it just seems to be the way the htc one is
Snapchat uses the camera app that comes with the phone now

Mine is occasional lag.
Same problem on mine, makes videos almost impossible with low light, my Alcatel pop s3 is extremely faster on snapshat. Is there a way to fix the problem ?

Experimental is usually a build started by a dev to test changes made
Nightlies are builds scheduled every night regardless if changes have been made
Milestones have all the big bugs ironed out and signify overcoming big developmental hurdles
RC (release candidate) is what it sounds like. It's a build that has the potential to be stable if no further bugs appear
Stable has all the bugs worked out.
Do we still have the Black screen during calls? I swore it worked this morning then all my calls went black. Didn't realize how important buttons were on calls to me until it happened. I'm on the latest nightly

Stock is better as it relies on sense framework for image processing. So, optimised for the one hw

No idea. I'd say no since someone would have to reverse engineer the HTC software. I don't see that happening, but it's just a guess.

Too bad... Hopefully someone will create some kind of AOSP-Stock-Hybrid-ROM.
I will ask in Q&A if somebody is already at it, if not i will see if i can spare some time to get involved into Android developing and try to create one...
Issues
Apologies if I have missed anything where this has been covered before. I have read pretty much every page of the dev thread. I have been an xda user for years but only just opened an account to ask a couple of questions.
I can report the proximity/ blank screen during calls still exists with 18052013 nightly. Not that I saw anything about this in the change log.
Can I ask if this is any issue for everybody with the HTC One or just some? (I have the international version)
Is there a fix in the works for this?
It looks like the notification LED colour cannot be changed right now. I have tried a couple of colours but green is the only one that works.
I noticed something else small. The facebook app from the Sense 5.0 original ROM had the option to "sync only existing contacts" but with this ROM we have only "sync" which syncs all contacts. Not sure if this is an easy fix but it would be nice to have back. I do understand none of the "sense" apps or tools are available in AOSP.
Thanks for the hard work and helps everybody
Probably kind of random, but anyone have any luck with the One/CM 10.1 syncing with a Jawbone Up (a fitness monitor bracelet)? It worked fine on stock, but refuses to sync since moving to CM. I'm on the latest nightly. Any info appreciated!

[Q] Alternate to stock camera?

So I'm coming from the Razr M, which was never a top end device even when it was released a couple years ago, but I like it's cam. I've noticed that, and maybe it's just me, but I really don't like how the Moto X pictures come out comparatively. I'm not sure if it's the app itself or the camera. I'd assume it's a better camera than I have on a 2 year old device. Is there an alternative camera app that maximizes the camera hardware? I've tried Focal but not a huge fan. Most of the other camera apps seem to focus on filters and editing. Which is great but I am just looking for a camera app that is better than stock. Either that or a tutorial on the stock app settings. If I was rooted I'd just try my Razr M cam. But not going to root this one for a good while. Any help would be appreciated m

Fv5 works well, but nothing launches as fast as the stock camera and you have to manually adjust settings to see an improvement. The biggest issue is the stock camera cranks up the ISO for some reason. The 4.4.2 update makes it less severe however and I've gotten adequate or better quality since the update.
Definitely 4.4.2 improved the camera. But I'm using better camera anyway....I really like it.

Remember that a lot of camera apps limit your mp to like 2....so a little hard to judge quality. Kinda dumb that they do that. Do a full version time limit trial would make more sense.
