im happy with the google camera app. sure, it can see some improvements, but overall its alright for me. what i dont care about in other camera apps is all the "fluff". stuff thats added to the camera app that you dont need and is there just to give people that dont know how to use a camera more options. i have thousands of photos posted on my g+, all taken with different nexus phones, all with either the google cam app or the aosp camera app.
[Nexus 6  General] psn1819:
Its sad though...there are so many things to love about the nexus 6..I've used the open camera app with it and I seen some of the potential it does have to take beautiful pics and vids... I wish that google could have at least ported over the Moto X camera app so that it had its own special detail...but alas ...it's a google device....I hope in the near future... This is corrected...it may be just a phone camera...but can't we agree that we deserve atleast a camera app with special and dedicated functions...faster HDR+,some sort of low light assist,60-120fps and more advanced features :)
[Nexus 6  General] Peylix:
L Camera.

Adds SOME of the features wanted. Still lacks others but is steps above the stock app. It also gets rid of the auto focus of death in vids. FV5 is another great app that allows fine tuning. Really the only thing that is missing is slow motion. Auto HDR sucks. Learn some composition instead of relying on software to do it for you.

Also, OP said in orig comment that HDR takes too long. I wonder if having to bracket 3-5 different exposure shots and merging them for you to edit later might have to do with it? Have you actually done DSLR HDR? It's not a millisecond feature. It's multiple photos in one for gods sake.

TL;DR there are many great alternatives to stock. Not all the cool features are there (yet) but knocks the list down to a few.

Also, if you want some fancy DSLR competitive phone camera. Get a DSLR or a phone built for such. The Nexus line has never been about that nor will it ever be. It's a reference device for hardware and software. Nothing more.

If it bothers you that much. Then get a different device or make your own app that has all the features. Whining and fighting on an internet forum will not fix the issue.

Above all else. Everyone in this thread, chill the hell out and have a beer. Jesus.

Cheers :cool:

You guys notice any improvements w/ the camera/video breathing problem after the 5.1 update?
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
Just thought I would chime in here about the camera app from Google. I am waiting on my N6 from verizon so I will have more experience later.

I Have had several Samsung Devices (S3, Note 3) and now on the LG G3. After going to a AOSP based ROM from the stock I noticed a big difference. The stock camera apps on both the Samsung and LG devices were way better in almost all aspects. Being stuck without them in AOSP roms killed the camera on the G3.

Hope Google gets on this. The Nexus 6 deserves a better app. It is their most expensive phone yet. I have used the L camera app and it does have potential. Maybe asking the developer can help get things going in the right direction.
[Nexus 6  General] Peylix:
[IMG="L camera Dev 0.3"]http://i.imgur.com/uEZjqmy.jpg[/IMG]

I have not gone to 5.1 yet but here is L cam on it's newest dev release. Like I said, the N6 is not the best out there. However if you have the right app, settings, composition, you can get some pretty nice shots.
[Nexus 6  General] Annomander Matt:
Coming from a note 3 I must day I definitively prefer the Nexus camera. I may have done something to jack up my note 3, but I swea it took like 5 seconds fit it to take a freaking picture!
[Nexus 6  General] krysdafur:
Just got a Nexus 6 on 5.1 and manual exposure(exposure compensation) is not showing up on the Google camera app and exposure compensation is not working in my other camera apps. Manual Camera and Camera FV-5.

Anyone else having the same issue?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
My biggest gripe about the camera is every now and then it does this. Makes me feel I can't trust it because it's going to eat my phone alive hahaha. I use my rx100 most of the time anyway which makes this issue more annoying because I barely use my phone's camera. Oh well.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I see alot of people complaining about the camera on a developer phone but none willing to dig in and make one. Kinda defeats the point of having a developers device if you don't use it for development
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
So true. I would e much richer if I was a programmer. :)
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
nope. it was the very first thing i tested. still wants to autofocus every 5-6 seconds, driving me insane (and ruining any video shot) in the process...

Im not sure why people keep on complaining about the camera.. Im not a photographer but i just love my google camera. Dont have much settings but the result it superb .. Feels like a pro
[Nexus 6  General] bob2300nx:
Since the oneplus one has the same sensor would it be hard to port their camera over here?
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
still camera is not the problem and is fine for me. the issue is when you shoot video and the damn thing wants to refocus every 5-6 seconds
[Nexus 6  General] Pecata:
I agree, that is sooooo annoying! I hope they fix that in future updates.
[Nexus 6  General] Geko-x:
I. Agree with him
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
I would definitely call it a barbones camera app. Is it that hard to add in a manual mode?
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
I've never used video camera on a phone, so I had to test it to validate this claim. Looks like it is a problem with the 'continuous auto-focus' feature. Apparently the 47E build has newer camera binaries (I've heard some people claim....), possibly this is why?

I also tried manually focusing the camera, and found that the drivers apparently discard the manual focus settings immediately and resume continuous auto-focus. Yes, android camera *does* support manual focus, you just tap the screen at the point where you want to establish a manual focus.... but like I said, it "forgets" the manual focus setting and goes back to auto-focus.

In any case, that continuous auto-focus keeps with the big-jump refocusing that you can see, is definitely a function of the camera drivers, not the application. That it forgets the manual-focus setting could be either the application or the driver.
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
No it has been a problem long before 47E. I first noticed it on Kit Kat on the Nexus 5...
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
No offence but i think thats pretty silly... people call it a developer phone, yet its now sold on all the major carriers in the US , just go into a store and buy it.. Nexus 6 isn't a developer phone in my book.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
The problem on shooting video is the time it takes for it to focus properly. Never had the problem on other phones.

It could use some extra options for adjusting for lighting and color. It does a good job in auto but sometimes it needs a human touch.

Reading comprehension is very important. It helps you understand the words you are replying to and prevents you from making a fool of yourself.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

It isn't *exclusively* a developer phone, but it is a developer phone. Being a consumer phone doesn't stop it from also being a developer phone. What MAKES it a developer phone is the source code being on git, and the unlockable bootloader.

Remember that the first android phone, the HTC DREAM, was available in two configurations; consumer G1 and developer ADP1. The hardware was identical. The difference is that the ADP1 had an unlocked bootloader. Not unlockABLE, but unlockED.

Now they sell it in a single configuration to make it easier to deal with. Consumer = locked, but easily turned INTO a developer phone by unlocking it.
[Nexus 6  General] luckofthefall80:
I'm having the same issue.

Rooted, stock. Seems like it disappeared after the most recent 5.1 update.
[Nexus 6  General] springer.music:
Yep, I'm having the very same issue with exposure compensation.

The exposure compensation setting doesn't work at all with both Camera FV-5 and Cinema FV-5 and selecting "Manual exposure" in the Google Camera app doesn't enable any exposure compensation control.

I told you guys earlier. Yet people still moaned about it.

[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
Well it's still not solved. It's a work around, but the problem still exists in the stock app. You've convinced me to check it out though. Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] HoOnZ:
The camera app does take beautiful photos but it's so damn slow! If you want to take indoor photos without a flash of children playing, then forget about it. LOL

I don't understand why there's so much debate over this. People have legitimate concerns, so people should respect that. smh

Forgot to link L Camera on github. Was tired last night.

True, it's not "solved" but is a great work around. It's been able to allow me to take great videos without any hassle at all.

Manual cam is another one (Is in play store) Was also mentioned.

It's good to know though that the problem is with the software and not the hardware itself.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidcie:
My adventures with the HTC One have surely been interesting. Bought one off eBay the other day, unwrapped, and the first picture I took had a terrible pink hue all over. Had to send it in for repair straight away. It came back with the new OV sensor and as I got down to installing all apps I noticed how restoring my messages via SMS Backup & Restore seems to take forever.

My M7 is the EU 32GB model. It runs stock Lollipop v7.19.401.2. Was factory reset multiple times, its cache cleared in recovery, tests were performed when connected to a power source and not, and yet it still takes a whooping 1:39:34 (yep, that's well over an hour) to restore 17445 messages. The exact same file takes 14:23 (14% of the time or a 7x speed difference) on my vintage Galaxy S2 (SlimKat 4.4.4 build 7.9, no OC or fancy perf squeeze, never TRIMmed, not restored or in any other way maintained over the last 12 months). That's somewhat... underwhelming for a year old, flagship device.

What's your experience? What could be causing this terrible performance? Since this is a reputable app and because the same one was used on both devices I conclude this has to be a problem with the device rather than app/file. I'm also attaching Androbench results, thou strangely enough they seem to be in the ballpark compared to M7 results on the interwebs.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidcie:
Has noone come across this issue? Find it a little strange since from my point of view this is abysmal, just not sure if it's the phone or the stock ROM...

Can you please at least have a look at the screenshot and let me know if the benchmarks looks ok-ish?

Hi there.

I've recently bought an HTC One M8 online and was furious to find out it has Vodafone logo on bootup.

I consider myself above Novice but just below expert when it comes to ROMs, rooting, flashing, etc. and i would like to try to debrand and remove the network logo without the complicated rooting.

Can anyone help please? Many thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The only 'real' way of doing this is with S-OFF so you can flash the unbranded EU ROM to the phone
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Is S-off an easy process? May i ask how?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
The only working method is sunshine which u can get here http://theroot.ninja but I would try firewater first if that doesnt work it will need to be sunshine.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
What is Sunshine or Firewater? Are they maps or apt files that i need to download? I have a Mac. Is that a problem?

And if i do the S-off process will it completely rebrand and remove the network logo so i can use the "normal" One M8 and set it up as normal?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
If you don't know a lot about android development I wouldn't bother s-off as you can hard brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing. You need to flash stock firmware which will have the hboot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
So, how do i flash a stock ROM on my One M8? Is it easy? Will having a Mac be a factor?

And will flashing be able to debrand it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
Having a Mac shouldn't be a problem as you can get fastboot and adb for Mac. Search on Google on how to do it as there is a lot of articles. It depends where the branding is, if its after the green HTC logo then yes as that will be the ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
I see.

So, what is the process usually? What do i need to download first? And then after downloading what do i need to do next?

All i want is to remove the Vodafone network branding that's all. Please advice.

Thank you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
Well first of all you will need to unlock your bootloader at http://htcdev.com or you can s-off using either firewater or sunshine. Then you need to flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. Always make a back up! Then flash a custom ROM. But I'm not sure if that will remove the branding as the branding could be in the hboot which u will need s-off to modify it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
All the people on here are being very nice, you consider yourself just below expert but your questions certainly aren't. The point of this site is to help, not necessarily to teach. I suggest you go do some Google searches and learn about the things that people mentioned here rather than just continuously asking questions. To be honest all you have to do is install a new splash screen and/or boot image. That alone is not difficult but you need to do some learning first because there are some prerequisites you'll need to have done in order to flash it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
I appreciate all the help. I will Google some stuff and will ask again if there are any more issues.

Many thanks:)

HTC Sensation: Can't install zip from SD card & WiFi "Error" stopped working.

Hello

I recently rooted my HTC Sensation (Pyramid) Z710e using KINGORoot and it was a successful root, unlocked bootlader and got SuperUser.

Security is still on (S-ON) as I don't need or wish to turn this off.

I have tried using CWM recovery 5.8.0.9 but flashing the ROM which was MADE for the Pyramid failed, then I tried using TWRP 2.1.0 but I got the same result, and then I also tried CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 but still the same result (error below).

The problem: When I try flashing a new custom ROM after doing data wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe it gives me the following error message:

' E: Error in /sdcard/'zipname'.zip

(Status 0 )

Installation Aborted. '

All recoveries downloaded were specific to my phone (obvoiusly) so all were named with Pyramid in them (ex. "twrp-pyramid-2.1.0.img") and so were the custom ROMs, specific to the sensation.

I read something about changing the META-INF File from the new ROM zip to a working META-INF file for the Pyramid but when I tried this it didn't work either, got me an error Status 1 message if I remember correctly.

I'm currently running a downloaded zip of ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Android 4.0.3 which is like the OS I had before I formatted everything except SD Card. However my WiFi isn't working anymore since I flashed this downloaded ICS zip and what I mean by not working I mean that when you flip the switch to turn WiFi on it flips to On and then to Off again immediately, and in the settings menu it says there's an Error, but that's it. I tried using the Wifix manager app with the code but that didn't work at all.

Any help is greatly appreciated as to what I can do regarding why I can't install a zip successfully from recovery or as to how I can fix my WiFi problem on my Sensation.

Thanks

did you flash the latest version of 4ext recovery?

if not take it from here

http://d-h.st/rG7

extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
[HTC Sensation] magicwise:
1.) Make sure you have at least 4ext recovery v1.0.0.6 RC2 in order to install new ROMs. Otherwise you will very likely get a status 0 error with most ROMs.

2.) I suggest to use CM11 as a daily driver, Lollipop so far has not been stable enough on the Sensation, I had different kinds of problems. Still seems to be a bit experimental to me.
