[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Google released a new camera app on the store , is far better than the stock one we had :)

Yeah, that's why I'm afraid of, and it sounds logical, Sony's app will be tailored to the phone, anyway google's camera app was released just yesterday so there's room for improvement, let's hope for the best, I'm sure more options will be added in the future.

By the way you can tweak the white balance, you just need to enable the option on settings (weird )

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddylaz:
No no, that's the white balance for the SCREEN.

There is a camera white balance that should be adjusted dependant on what lighting conditions you're shooting in. I haven't seen the Z2's options, but it should have the usual four: Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent & Incandescent.

They actually make a significant difference to the colour tones and how similar to the reality of the scene your shot ends up looking. In my experience phone cameras CAN NOT be trusted to calculate this correctly themselves (and I used to have a lumia 1020!).

Yeah this nexus app will be good for the n5 crowd but you're never going to get as good shots with an app like that (or apple's) without having the ability (and learning) to alter ISO and white balance manually.

Of course in proper photography the shutter speed and aperture are also important but unfortunately it's very hard to control these given the current CMOS limitations in phone implementation.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Yes I know you are referring to the camera white balance, that's why I said it's weird you have to activate it in the settings menu first, check it out :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddylaz:
That's not white balance though I think, isn't that just exposure-compensation?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
You are right, there's no white balance , sorry :o :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddylaz:
no worries....the z2 app definitely has it though I'm sure (unfortunately still waiting for my bloody handset!!)

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leocooper:
I'm not sure but maybe you could take 16:9 shots if you decreased the resolution to 8 MP? Like in manual mode, you can only take 4:3 shots in 20.7 MP so I think the app is taking photos with the maximum resolution and that's why it's 4:3

Hi,

Is there a way to intercept the incoming and outgoing messages(SMS) and

calls in smart phones using Windows Mobile 2003.

I would like to intercept before a person receives a call or a message and

check for something, then transmit it, Is this possible?

I have a Wizard phone with AKU 2,3 so, can you tell is there a software or plugin(for Windows Mobile 2003) in which I can achieve this.

Many thanks.

In my experience 4.1.2 as mg4 was the most stable and fast stock version. After that including 4.1.2 and 4.3 stocks all were laggy and had less battery performance. However, I couldn't find any aosp based custom rom work flawless or at least stable. Each one has its own bugs. Slimkat doesn't support exfat, liquidsmooth was very very laggy and cm has some fc issues etc. As a consequence at least stock one is the stable one.

I was on 4.1.2 since i bought my s3, i decided to try 4.3 and i switched to Android Revolution HD 51 in combination with Boeffla kernel, and i must say performance is way much better and also the battery life, with 4.1 i got somewhere around 4h of screen on time, and with 4.3 i get close to 5h of screen on time, also to mention over the night battery drops only 1% if wifi on and 0% with airplane mode on, preety impressive, you just have to find your way to customize it for daily use :)

I know these types of threads aren't exactly condoned, but I have a trip tomorrow and I can't exactly try out a lot ROMs right now. I'm currently running Paranoid Android, and while I love it, I'm looking for the following features-

-ART compatible (I know a lot of CM based ROMs had this broken recently)

-Lockscreen notifications (not Peek or Active Notifications, something like Carbon/Mahdi's)

-Orderable Quicksettings

-Battery icon with percent (portrait battery icon, just like stock, with the battery percent

-Stock looking. Holo White versions are perfectly ok as well

Anyone know of a ROM that has these features?

These images were taken with everything set on Auto. The first picture of the pair is the stock camera app, the second picture of the pair is with the google camera app.

Honestly, I can't really see much of a difference.

In this set, the built in camera app more closely matches actual color from streetlights.

Losing HDR mode in the Google Camera on the MotoX kind of sucks for sure. Hope they fix that very soon.

As for twist-to-launch, that is a feature specific to the Motorola camera app, so Google would need to add it as a feature to the stock Android Camera for it to work.
[Moto X General] bolo808:
Glad to see Google finally push their camera app to the play store. For me the main use of the Google camera is for photosphere. Kind of sucks only being able to do it on my N7. I feel that the Motorola camera works great and the twist gesture is what gives it the upper hand. Probably the best thing is that at least both camera apps can be updated on its own and I'm sure we'll see more features come in the future.

I prefer the Moto app because of the ability to change the exposure. I did not see that option in the Google app. They seem to perform about the same in most cases.

It's hidden in the settings. Swipe left, then look to the lower right, you should see the settings icon. It's buried in those options. I think it's under Advanced.

Anyway, 4.4.2 really did make autofocus wonky on Qualcomm devices. I guess we have to wait for 4.4.3.

[Moto X General] blipp:
Unless Moto finds a way (or wants to) to make the twist function a general OS function that we can set a default app to. I don't see that happening though.
[Moto X General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Someone made a root app that enables twist to launch but I found that the Google camera takes a little longer to load. I'll stick with the moto camera.

MOTO X SLAPPED
[Moto X General] blipp:
Yea, but the Moto X uses the separate motion sensing core for the twist launching (and the active display, etc) which makes it faster and more sensitive. And probably being built into the camera app doesn't hurt it's launch speed. There could probably be a way where it could be set to only work with camera apps and "optimize" it in a way to have any camera app launch faster. Again, probably won't happen, but yea, no other solutions, be they root or not, will never be as fast as the way Moto does it.
[Moto X General] x2h:
Two things missing on my Google Camera app compared to the Motorola Camera app:

1. Twist to turn on

2. HDR

There is a xposed module that allows you to change the twist to open app. It works quite nice, even keeps the stock vibration when activated.
[Moto X General] Eckyx:
This.

I think it uses the camera to take video to process depth, because before applying the blur, the pictures taken that way are 1920x1080. After applying the blur, it drops to 1024x576. I'd love to not lose resolution while keeping this effect.

I noticed that moto's default camera is a bit slow from the time you press the screen to take the picture to when it actually take the picture.

In comparison, my AOSP Galaxy S3's camera takes photos instantly after focus is locked. When you tap the blue shutter button the phone instantly snaps the photo, instead of waiting for the aperture blades circle animation to fill like on the Moto X
