I mean picture quality, not video recording. I have been somewhat disappointed with the camera so far. Even at 8 MP, my pictures often turn out strangely blurry, or the colors end up being washed out. Are there any tweaks/mods/apps you guys are aware of that may improve the camera? I'm running cyanogenmod 7, if that makes any difference.

Try an app called "HDR Camera" it trends to make pictures better using HDR (High Dynamic Range).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Aren't most camera apps disposed to make low res images though? How many will actually take pictures at full 8mp resolution?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] niko_droid:
I tried HDR camera before, as well as Camera Zoom. They both support 8MP from what I remember. But Zoom didn't really help my camera's quality, while HDR takes pretty darn long to take a photo. The colors are better, but the photos still aren't as sharp as they should be.

And thanks prettyboy, I'll try the engine when I get home, and we'll see how that goes. From the pictures, the improvement looks pretty significant.

P.S. Happy New Year everyone!

I purchased a Bionic from Ebay and was never rooted. Was at .886 and did a manual update to .901 because of 4g issues. Phone has never been rooted although was attempted unsuccessfully.

Would like to get root the easiest way if it is available or should i just wait a while.:confused:

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to at least attempt the manual root method found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1395911

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
First I will say that I found this forum from a thread on Esato and since I have an Xperia X10 Mini Pro with Android 2.1, and saw that this was a professional place, I signed up. Hope some can help a girl out. :o

I am a newbie when it comes to "all that tech stuff" with cellphones, but I learn fast. I've just recently started to use internet on my phone, and well, some problems occured when trying to download some apps from the android market.

:o

For some odd reason I can't seem to access the android market at all with my gmail/google-account. I think I do it right, I have WiFi on and I put in my gmail-account/google-account, but everytime I get a "can't access market", or "turn WiFi on". But WiFi is on! :confused:

What can the problem be?

I've used the "Android Injector" instead and downloaded apk-files from an android software applications site onto my phone memory via the USB-cable. (I can't use the "Android Injector" anymore, as malwarebytes deleted it because apparently it was some malware attached to it).

My phone memory is close to being full (I have 66 mb left), so how can I download future (or already existing) apps to the SDcard?

I've heard that you could install a custom ROM, but I have no idea how to do that. I don't know how to root the phone either. ? :confused:

And then, I downloaded an app called "Viber" from an android software applicaions site. I didn't find it useful and uninstalled it, but when I read some newspapers online (World Newspapers app), it came back as a shortcut on my phone. What is this?

I dont understand why they would lock down their UI developer software to only manufacturers.
