Looking for better camera quality in a smartphone

Here's the deal. In the past few months, I've owned almost every high end phone (iPhone 5, 5S, Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2, Nexus 4, HTC One, Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD, Moto X, etc.). Overall, (NOT in terms of megapixels, specs, or on-paper features, but in everyday use) the iPhones have the best, fastest, most consistent cameras for taking quick good pictures (again, just my opinion and experience). All the Android phones I've had, I tried the stock camera apps as well as ones on custom ROMs I installed and apps like Focal, and none could match the iPhone for pure reliability and consistency. For example, the Samsung phones take fantastic, high quality pictures—in some situations. And sometimes they'll take 5+ seconds after I press the shutter button to refocus and actually capture anything. I have other gripes with the other phones, including the iPhone, but won't list them here unless someone asks to know.

Interestingly enough, the best pictures I have from a phone came from an old Motorla Droid Razr Maxx running Cyanogenmod 10.1, on pretty much stock Jellybean 4.2.2, from the stock google camera app. It definitely did not do as good a job of automatically adjusting exposure, but when I focused a good shot, it almost always came out great, exactly as I'd seen it on the screen, very sharp and detailed with good and realistic colors. Since then, somehow no other phone has consistently taken such good photos. Running the exact same ROM on a Galaxy S3, the pictures almost always came out pretty blurry, regardless of how still I held the phone.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has some idea of why this is, and if I could do anything (other than getting an iPhone of course) to again be able to rely on a smartphone camera to at least get pretty fast, good pictures? Thanks!

Can't get out of fastboot mode

i have a CDMA Pantech breakout verizon and I have been tinking on it's CWM based recovery because I can't seem to patch a "GSM patch" because it says that I have been patching it in an empty partition and I have to patch it after installing a rom. I got frustrated, got stupid that I tried to format all the things that i can format in the recovery. When I reboot it, it went to "Android Development Mode" FASTBOOT !!!

Going back to CWM based recovery was not a problem but whenever I reboot it, it would always go back to Android Development Mode. Fastboot!!!

I was thinking that I've messed up the entire system of my phone and that's why it's always going back to that blackscreen mode.

Can someone help me fix this problem? thanks in advance.

Hi, I just fixed my phone... (well kind of)

using this method it turned my phone into a verizon phone and my phone was originally T Mobiles: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840030

but the problem is the phone is unusable, it turns out the "solution" i used if for Verizon lines only, now my phone is looking for a "Verizon" signal and in my case it should've been T-Mobiles.

Is there any work around in my situation??. thank you in advance.

have a good day!

[General Questions and Answers] Bluze:
Hi. I'm new to all this and had a few questions. I have successfully rooted my Kindle Fire, and my Galaxy S3 International. I'd like to go the next step and try some different roms. First, how hard is it to restore the stock rom? I have flashed Clockwork and made a nandroid backup, at least I THINK I have. IF that is what the backup option creates. Will I still be able to use the FM Radio feature? What are some of the more popular roms? I won't ask for the "best" as that I'm sure, is pretty subjective. But what are the pros and cons of some of the more popular ones?

I have downloaded the file that the RUU.exe file downloads to flash the phone. I have it on my pc and on my sdcard. The thing is that i managed to flash it via bootloader. and i am back to stock 2.2 with stock kernel. I could root it right now and flash a recovery using android flasher or something like that. Problem is that I wouldnt be able to navigate the recovery since the screen gets messed up in recovery and fastboot/bootloader.

[General Questions and Answers] qkdfler:
Hi Bluze,

actually I don't own a SGS III, but a kindle Fire.

If you have installed CWM or a similar recovery you just have to hit the "Advanced Backup" and choos "Backup to SD-Card" otherwise it'll delete your Backup when you restore your phone. If you want to restore your Backup just hit "Restore from SD-Card and choose the Backup you want. Sometimes you have to navigate to your Backupfolder. It's muste times in the Folder "ClockwerRecovery" (correct me if i'm wrong). IT'S PRETTY EASY!

Yes you will be able to use the FM-Radio-Function as Long as the Custom Rom supports it! You can find it out by reading the "ChangeLog" of any CustomRom or in the Feature-Description a customRom. You should read some Descriptions about several roms and you should choose the one you like best. In my mind CyanogenMod is great. The new CM11 (Android 4.4 "KitKat") ist already avilable for your SGS III, so try it but always think of making backups. If anything breaks just restore your phone using a NANDbackup (Nandroid). Have fun.

Hope I helped you!

Greet

[General Questions and Answers] Bluze:
Thanks qkdfler. So the clockwork backup should be all I need to revert back to my stock rom then?

CyanogenMod is the first one I was considering. Heard good things about it. I've read up on this till my eyes bled, but I still want to make sure I understand correctly. Like the old carpenter's saying, measure twice, cut once. LOL! I find the rom I want, then load it onto my SD card. Restart in the proper mode to access Clockwork, flash the rom, and that's it? No PC interface required?

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make absolutely sure I know what I'm doing. I've been a programmer since the early 80's...cut my teeth on the IBM System 34/36/38 family of computers, then moved on to AT&T 3B20 duplex coding DB apps with Oracle and C. Since then, I've developed software on more platforms using more languages than I care to remember(makes me feel too old. Lol!) So neither programming nor *nix is new to me. Phones however are still quite a mystery. But learning new things is what makes life fun! :D

I flashed a custom kernel but it still had those lines. I tried flashing twrp(The glacier doesnt have an official version, the one available was ported) it didnt boot up to recovery at all.

so i reflashed cwm and installed rom manager and used it to flash CM 7.2. And i still have the problem.

I beginning to think its not a software issue. But what bothers me is that i never dropped the phone and its new. It all happened after a reboot to recovery(i was using 4ext).

I got logcat working.

It was because I installed a custom kernel as well as the rom.

The kernel must have something that changes the way logcat works, removes permission or something.

dmesg - prints kernel messages

If are using clockworkmod you can mount your SD card to add allot more memory the bigger the SD card the more memory you get you can do that by Booting into Recovery and go to "Mounts and storage" then find "Mount SD card EXT" click on it and reboot and boom you gotwhat ever is left on you card :)

There are a few more ways to free up some memory also if you dont want to mount your SD card you can use ROM Toolbox and use the apps to SD and you can also remove system apps also but if you do that just becareful to not remove important apps if you dont know what it is leave it be.

here are a few more apps that will save you some memory
