I dont use auto focus anymore. I shoot with infinity focus unless im shooting a macro shot.

My pictures have never been better with infinity. Also always lowering EV balance.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoMMyHucT:
im not moving to any other rom only because of EV balance, and my x10 is the only thing that is keeping me from spending money on canon 550d xD

can u please make comparison of pictures made with normal focus and infinity?

Hmm what about modding the stock cam app to have touch focus? Currently is only touch capture.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Did someone already try the latest version?

V11?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Im finding the camera with firmware 2.1.B.0.1 to be excellent. I havent tried the mod as I honestly dont think it needs to be. If you decide to try it let me know.

Edit* hang on for a bit. Ill download it and test it out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Ok, thanks.

Good that you test it, seems that you're a camera expert ;)

Atm I have the stock 2.1.B.0.1 camera app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Haha thanks! I did get myself edumacated in photography for a reason.

Anyways, after testing this mod for V11....the only weird differences I found were smaller file sizes. I even went as low as 2mb on a 8mp shot. Ive never seen that before on this camera. Im usually getting 2.8-3mb on 8mp shots. I mostly use 6mp wide settings and even then I get 2-2.25mb pictures.

This is interesting....because if 28Spawn changed the compression rate from 70% - 100% that would mean larger files. If a file isnt compressed, it has to be larger. But I cant figure out why there not larger. Its like his settings arent fully being saved or something.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yugiyao:
nice mod thx buddy :>
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clixt:
Currently using the V11.. File size like varies from 2.3 - 2.9 mb for an 8 mp image...

Also if you go to Gallery>(the pic u took)>details, the format is image/png even though it is a jpeg..

@ Mr Patchy Patch:

Ok, thanks for testing it for us.

So the stock app is the better one atm?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Well, I just didnt see any noticeable difference. The only thing I noticed were my file sizes were smaller throughout about 10 pictures. So im kinda confused lol.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyDee:
Has anyone looked at the camera from the new att fw? It's supposed to have some added features...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clixt:
Yeah they look the same imho.

Mine fluctuates. Sometimes it's bigger, sometimes it's smaller.

I think it depends on your subject. If it is too colorful and detailed, the image size will be bigger.. idk just theory lol

Works in android 2.2 Froyo?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
No, 2.1 only
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Cant be. Because if you use auto focus, then your telling your camera what the subject of your picture is and where to focus. But in my case i dont use auto focus because i find it bad, i use infinity. With infinity, technically speaking the whole screen would be the subject because theres no specific focus point. But i can take 2 picture back to back without moving and get totally different file sizes. So i dont understand what determines the compression.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
I should add tho that i think the auto focus and touch focus works better in spawns mod then normal. But i havent tested it enough to make that a fact.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Like what added features??? Never heared anything about it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YR1J89:
Work flawlessly, nice job.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Ok, if there aren't real changes I stay with stock camera app for now.

Maybe spawn can fix it.

Btw, why do you use infinity focus and not auto focus. I always use auto focus and makro for makros.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Because i find auto focus bad. I often end up with a blurry or out of focus picture. Plus, with infinity focus once i half press the shutter key and my subject moves ie: my daughter i dont have to refocus...i can keep the shutter key still half pressed and follow het with the camera until im ready to snap my shot. To bad the x10 camera didnt have a focus lock like my dslr. But infinity works pretty flawless so its a decent trade off.

But even if im taking a picture of say something nature like....infinity still works better...unless its a macro shot. Then ill use macro.

I also change my white balance accordingly, along with my ev (which always gets adjusted)

ok, when i record a video, it plays back fine on the phone and computer. if i upload a video to youtube directly from the phone, the video freezes at about 2 seconds.

if i copy the video to my computer, then upload it to youtube, the sound stops at about 2 seconds.

anyone else having this issue?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clixt:
I agree with the auto focus being bad. it's been like that even with the stock(unmodded) cam that's why I use Vignette.

But lately I've been practicing how to shoot with steady hands. :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
I purchased vignette a long time ago. But im getting much much better quality pics with stock cam. Vignette needs EV control...which they cant for the X10 because i already talked to the devs about it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clixt:
^ agreed. I only use Vignette for color highlighting and some other effects, but now I have Photoshop Lightroom. :D

Just need to learn using it. hehe

On topic: I think nothing really changed. If there is, it is very little.. Maybe some bug fixes.

V10 FC - did I screw up?

:confused:

Q: V10 has "V10" in name. This is different than V8 which does not. Should it be renamed?

I uninstalled regular camera via Titanium first. When I put the camera app in, all I get are either FC or Stop app message. Did I screw up? Anyway to get back? Vignette still works.

If Vignette can co-exist with the regular camera app, why can't yours do the same with a different name? (Just asking.)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdurahman:

I posted what I did, and obviously not, so your answer is not helpful.

Right now, I've tried having TI put the old app back with data -- Didn't work.

Renaming in the APK - didn't work.

V10: Youtube HD no sound?

I was at a parade today, and I took some video with the V10 version.

Uploaded to youtube and the sound dies after 2 seconds. There's sound on the phone when it plays....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM07MDg1cdY&hd=1

Also, when zooming the autofocus doesn't seem to be working.

Is this working as designed or not? I note the other posts saying the video was out of sync on youtube not non-existent.

Please note if you watch, there a video I made of the NYC from Rockefeller Ctr at twilight with the standard 2.1 and it doesn't seem to have the same issues thought the focus is very slow. http://youtu.be/JILd0zK9WFw

im using the v11 test, which is based on the latest firmware from SE, 2.1.B or sumthin like that, i have to say it is very good, video configuration has been untouched by OP and onli still camera has been modded.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
Agreed. The V11 has no issues with being uploaded to YouTube.

BUT since the V10 video worked on being uploaded to Facebook, and YouTube/Picassa are both Google owned, perhaps there is some issue with the conversion that Google uses?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawnty:
There's your problem right there. This camera mod is for SE's 2.1 stock firmware. You'll either have to go back to 2.1 or wait and see if a 2.3.3 version is created.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afmdkqc:
I see!!

I suspected from the beginning :), and i have another question for all you...

The 2.1 stock camera can turn on the LED Flash automatically when a photo is taken?

I'm 80% sure that my old rom (stock rom, 2.1-update1) could do this that way. Can you confirm or deny?

Another question is: If the LED was never automatic, this can be made like a camera MOD? Would be great!

PS.: Do the mods for the android 2.3.3 Please!!! :) Or... tell how to modify. I'm programmer, but i'm not expert on Android and Java.

I just read the thread and I'm interested to see the results, I don't think you could you have started this project of yours at a better time for us, esp those running froyo and gingerbread!
