Hey guys im really amazed of the pics you have been taken with the HOX.

I have tried so many settings and scenario but i cant take pictures like yours :/

I am using a stock ROM with the stock camera mod and im starting to think that this is the problem.

Can somebody suggest me a Rom,camera mod or simply should i use the camera scenarios or to adjust the settings manualy.

Thanks!!!!!!

Hi guys, quick question.. Is it possible to mod the stock camera and get image stabilisation for photos? I have to be super still to get good pictures.
[HTC One X] mando508:
Nope, but when you're using burst mode it uses digital stabilization. if you don't believe me (:D) try to shoot single photo (with shaky hands) of text in newspaper and then use burst mode same way.

HTX One X Update Addons (folder link)

https://mega.co.nz/#F!uUlj0ADZ!DuuEoAS-WtA5qGuLLp-1yg

Its the zip file called Camera test.zip

Download it

Put it on your SD card

Create a full Nandroid backup of your rom

use clockwork to flash the zipfile

reboot and you're done

you now have more settings and stabilisation. For video this is more noticeable but for photos it works just fine but if you move to much it will not work obviously.

I hope you guys enjoy it :)

here is an example why i've been thinking twice about the Ultrapixel camera, take by my HTC One X yesterday, the sky was very cloudy so i've relied on HDR, in full scale you see immense amount of detail which the Ultrapixel camera simply can not deliver

[HTC One X] Macca1980:
I sort of think its the weakest out of all the phone i have had recently. This is my order from best to worst:

Lumia 920 (faulty phone, camera was great though)

Galaxy S4 (no touch metering)

iphone 5 (no real complaints except maybe low light)

iphone 4s (same as i5)

HTC ONE (faulty but if worked would be higher up ....)

HTC ONE X :crying: I sort of knew this before settling with the one X though.

They all have there pros and cons, but im basing my opinion on actual photo quality. Just in my opinion though...

Just wished my ONE had worked, seeing some of the hassle members on here have had though I decided to not take a chance.

Maybe next year they will properly update the camera.

I use a very handy app called urly from th he market. It can automatically resize (as suggested by earlier post) then upload to dropbox/picasa etc, then automatically create the image url and copy to clip board. Ideal for switching between the xda app and urly for posting images. Works for me.

I just added some more I took with the HTC One S. I particularly like these two. One is of my cat and playing around with the Media Link HD and the other the State Capital in Olympia, WA.

^^^

Macro 3 and 5 are awesome. sometimes how you tilt the phone dictates how pictures turn out as well...if you have it tilted up too much, you may be letting in too much sun and vis versa. with tiny little sensors, small shifts make a huge difference.

I think after some tuning and updates, this camera will produce some awesome shots...some of them already are
[HTC One X] Try4Ce:
Has anyone seen the GSM Arena "One S" and "One X" reviews?

Since they're up, both phones appear in the photo quality comparision.

Go compare the One X with the One S, and you will surely notice, that the One S images are way less grainy and produce richer colors.

I thought both Devices use the same camera optics? I just heard that the One X features a dedicated camera chip and dual shutter?

Its kind of disappointing tho... The flagship doesnt take as good photos as the Mid-Range Phone One S.
[HTC One X] lenti_db:

One thing I've noticed with the One X is that if you change the picture format to 4:3 (thus increasing the resolution to true 8mpx) then it really struggles with close ups, even in Macro mode. Not a massive issue but annoying all the same.

I noticed this too. I also noticed the beta tester photos using the dual core One X appear to be crisper and better looking overall. I have mentioned this a few times...quite interesting...even though the camera's are the "same" I remember hearing once that they source 2-3 different manufacturers for the same parts sometimes.

could it have something to do with dual vs quad core???

flash this first:

and then flash this:

because in i9020A, there's no zip file to upgrade from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicken-royal:
You should be fine flashing from 2.3.6 > 4.0.4 in stock recovery. It's only once you're on a 4.x version of Android you can't manually flash updates on stock recovery. So you couldn't manually update from 4.0.3 > 4.0.4 on stock recovery (but that'd be if you had the I9020T/I9023 version of the phone).

Let us know how you get on! :)

I'm in the same boat, and I've tried flashing 2.3.6 to 4.04 using CWM recovery, and I get a status 7 error. I've been advised to try doing

4.03 > 4.04.

Which files should I be using for each update? I'm using a stock unrooted I9020A.
