Why not simply replace the camera with another app?

ZOOM Camera
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
The camera isn`t bad realy considering the camera and sensor but it will never be turned to a top camera though because of the hardware limitations.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManBearrrPig:
hardware limitations? my 3M camera on optimus one was better than the 5M moto g camera... my gf has xperia go and her 5M camera is also way better. so i dont get it..
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
Mixture of hardware and software. I've read several reviews that say prost processing causes loss of detail. However this maybe due to the camera without it producing very noisy shots. In an ideal world I'd love to have an option whether or not we want to have our images processed by the software, that heavily.

Compared to the Moto X's response the camera, Moto Gs is nothing which is why I think Moto are reluctant to look into maybe toning it down a little.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CADude:
You mean software limitations imposed by Motorola, likely to try to keep people from filling up an 8GB Moto G with minimally compressed pictures.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
They dont want the Moto G to be to good, or Moto X and Nexus 5 sales will drop too much. Its up to the devs to mod the camera to make it beter.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debaj:
Megapixel count has almost nothing to do with image quality. In fact, the average lens performs better on lower resolution sensors if their other features like size, light sensitivity etc. are the same. When it comes to image quality, the three major bottlenecks are the lens, the sensor quality and the imaging algorithm. My impression is that the Moto G has an average camera hardware with bad software.

BTW setting the aspect ratio from 16:10 to 4:3 improved the image quality on my device, I guess the software does not just crop the picture but it does some extra filtering too.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabioSan:
Ad i had wrote on che first post, i'm asking if someone can mod the camera app to make it better with less compression and maybe other modifications :)

Inviato dal mio Super Motorola Moto G!!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CADude:
This is exactly what is happening. Motorola either messed up or made the camera bad on purpose to try and save battery/space when taking pictures or to not make the Moto G as good as the Moto X.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debaj:
The AOSP camera worked well for me, if you don't mind losing the HDR function and the one finger zoom you should try it. Check this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602054

Thanks, but i haven't root And i don't want it :/ and if maybe i install the aosp camera as normal apk? After i can "downgrade" the camera app to the oroginal Motorola?

Inviato dal mio Super Motorola Moto G!!

Edit: i think that moto g camera is a little better then the aosp camera; i have tested a little comparing the same photo taked with moto And aosp camera ._.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
Lol what kinda silly conspiracies is that lol...

Especially the last one :/

Im very sure its neither.

Its Motorolas software processing the photo in order to reduce noise

As GsmArena indicated

"Unfortunately the overly agressive noise reduction results in eradicating a fair amount of fine detail and an oil painting effect is visible whenever you shoot grass, foliage or similar.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabioSan:
There is a method to make the noise reduction less aggressive?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
The biggest issue with the camera from pixel-peeping is how strongly it post-processes, is there an app that overrides this (shoot RAW)? I know Google had confirmed plans to add RAW support in Android back in November or so, hadn't read anything more recent. It would also have been nice to be able to set resolution in the native app but you can't -- using Camera Zoom FX app atm instead of the default.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
Nope there's no way to get past it, seems only Motorola can change this.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddvys:
Changing bitRate of 720p to 20000000 and image quality to 99% in media_profiles.xml did the job. Obviously file sizes are now much bigger, but clearly can see the difference. :good:

Also forgot to mention audio bitRate can be improved from 128000 to 288000. If you not sure how to do this changes better leave it unchanged. You could brick your phone so probably the best is to do a backup of your android or at least of media_profiles.xml file.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabioSan:
Can you apply this mod to the camera apk?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddvys:

Is there a way to raise resolution of the panorama pictures? I tried to do some and all of them was a blurry mess. Even my old g300 made better panoramas. :(
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
Hmm interesting any comparison shots before and after?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CADude:
How do we do this? Can this be applied as a flashable zip so its easy to do?

Also, what about image quality? Can we make pictures less compressed?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddvys:
Sorry, but I haven't got any photos from my old settings. can upload a photo with new settings if you like.

Do it manually with root explorer or any other file manager. Don't forget to mount R/W. Changes can be done in system/etc media_profiles.xml. Image quality surely is better, Image size compare to quality is awesome some of photos I took don't even exceed 1mb. Only video files are doubled since, it went from 10000000bitRate to 20000000bitRate + acc sound has 288k bitRate. For example video files before was about 20-30mb for 20s video now for 20s video files are 40-50mb. Just a reminder: video encoder h264 supports maximum of 20000000bitRate for 720p. And sorry haven't got flashable zip for this. Peace. :angel:

This almost seems like a 2mp camera extrapolated to 5mp. There are two year older phones that take better pics at same or less mp. Bad enough to want to return the phone. So jagged and bad blurs in lowlight.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shade0723:
use Procapture apk for best results

that's right. it may be a paid app but it is the only one i found that enables to use its own noise reduction algorithm based on comparing two individual photos and combining them. it will improve the final result by say 30% and will cancel the paintbrush effect. however this mode can only be used for steady/static photos. if you try to picture a dynamic landscape with movement or wind there will be some ghosting similar to the pictures taken with hdr on. enabling hdr will make the process take a little longer as it will have to take 6 photos instead of 2 and results can vary from great/decent/satisfying to garbage depending on the weather conditions, lightning and how steady the hand of the user is. it takes a while to learn how and when to use different settings to get best results but it pays off. downside of the app is that it takes about 15sec to take, process and save a picture. as a bonus it creates wide shots and full resolution panorama shots. as a minus it does not include video recorder so you have to switch to the stock app.

Actually Moto G camera can do better

Hi All,

I've discovered that when taking photos using Motorola Camera app in "continuous shoot" mode instead of standard mode the artifacts that some of us called "water-paint effect" are not present.

I've posted some results in Motorola's official support forum thread entitled "Moto G camera on Android 4.4.4" , forums.motorola.com/posts/e2f2722bfc

pages 12-13.

I hope that somebody in XDA forum can take advantage of it and modify any camera app in order to improve Moto G's camera performance...

Please share with all...

Hi folks, its almost time for my annual upgrade for my O2 contract so im very keen to get myself an XDA Mini s.

So without having to trawl through another 6 million threads on ROM updates and which is the best, would someone please be kind enough to tell me ?

My current phone is the XDA IIi which isnt too bad but i want a phone sized device now, the IIi was far too bulky for me. The Wizard (variant) will be used simply as a phone, ie i wont be installing TomTom on it, i'll use the XDA IIi for that instead.

So programs i would run will be SPBPocketplus and nothing much else (unless recommended)

Cheers in advance, and yup i had been looking arround to find Info before i created this thread, after the 10th thread ROM versions kinda blur.

Hi,

I need some help.

After instaling 2013.01.01_cm-9_UNOFFICIAL-BUZZ ay first moment everithing was O.K.

The first thing what i did was to change the language. After that the main screen i thing resizes and the icons in the bottom of the screen disapered. When i put my finger in the bottom end of the screen can move them top to the screen, but the buton for the menu can't be moved.

Also when somebody calling me i think there have to be red symbol on the left and green simbol on the right - I cant see them.

How to resize screen to see the icons on the main screen?

When i install gapps it update the operating system, the phone restarts, ask for pin, apears an android and sayes "touch android to start" and after thet sayes setup stop working and have to install again 2013.01.01_cm-9_UNOFFICIAL-BUZZ to work normaly.

To receive calls or to reject them,you need to pull the ring towards left or right.

Regarding gapps,you have installed gingerbread gapps,which wont work on ics,you need to download and install ics gapps.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackThisThing:
Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this,

So the story goes as so: After doing some research couple months ago about the capability of the Verizon Galaxy S3 to work on T-mobile, i purchased it, and got it to successfully work on T-mobile(texts, calls, wi-fi). The problem is, i just recently upgraded to include a data plan, and i cannot access the internet, despite taking my phone to my cell phone dealer and contacting T-mobile.T-mobile even sent me a guide to do a mastery reset to factory in hopes to solve this problem, only to tell me afterwards that the phone version SCH-I535 is a "verizon locked-software" and i won't be able to set up an APN to work on the T-mobile network. This was all due to the fact that i was not able to set up a APN for T-mobile, and every time i tried to access it through setting, it brought me to a blank black page with the only option of "Reset to Default". After reading other forums and talking with some people, many have suggested i take this issue to XDA to find a solution.

So, here i am.....Does anyone know if it is possible for me to break/root/ or whatever it is called so i can successfully access the t-mobile network on my phone? Preferably an easier guide since i am sort of a newbie at this sort of stuff.

Thanks again for reading.

First of all, I'm sorry if my english is not that good. I will try to make myself as clear as possible.

I got my Nexus 5 in december. It has been a great experience. It is not rooted, by the way...

My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S3, and with it I was used to go into recovery mode.

Athough I don't know how I can wipe cache in my Nexus 5, in nearly a month using it, when I first booted my Nexus 5 in the morning, it came up with a screen that looked like a recovery mode. It happened only two times...

The screen showed that android robot layed down, a big "start" and arrows up and down.

I don't know how I did that. As I told before, it only happened two times since I got my Nexus 5. I just pressed and hold the power button untill it vibrates...

Can someone tell me what happened? Is that the recovery mode for the Nexus 5 (i did not see the wipe cache option)?
