[MOD]Stock Camera App - Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

The problem with the Arc stock camera app when used with hdpi (low lcd density) is that the buttons are not aligned. I recompiled the app and aligned the buttons. I am running my lcd density at 182. The sweet spot for my taste.
Backup your stock camera app if you want. It is located in /system/apps. Then uninstall. Unrar the file then copy it back to /system/app. Reboot phone. Go to /system/apps, install. Then using titanium backup, convert the camera app to system app. Enjoy!
http://www.ziddu.com/download/15125319/SemcCameraApplication.rar.html
Runs perfectly on both 2.3.2 and 2.3.3.

3rd button from left doesn't respond corectly on my phone.
android 2.3.3.

Sorry I should have been precise. It is working on mine using 2.3.2. Will try to update later to 2.3.3 and make adjustments.
How did you root by the way? Remember, it is for high lcd density settings. Will not work right in default lcd density of 240.

I flashed the 2.3.3 TFT, and then i overwrited the rooted system image.
I have the Honk Kong version now, but i'm thinking on flashing the global version now.
Don't worry

SE has made a VERY GOOD job with the camera app. Too good that I cannot find the bitmap compressformat string so I can make the saved images to png or at least 100 jpeg for no loss of quality. It must be in one of those .smali files. But each .smali file can have 100's if not 1000's of lines. My eyes are hurting already. Can someone help me in the right direction please?

any progress ?

nobody doing this?

It would be awesome if someone could mod/optimize the camera. The horrible compression rate is the only thing that really annoys me on the phone.

Agree.
If you have a big SD card, yo could forget the size of the photo.

You recompiled? You have the camera sources? Might that help with freexperia's rom for Arc?

Modify Dalvik HeapSize and Lcd Density

Modifying the LCD density of your screen will provide HUGE REACTIVITY GAIN to the tablet
We can also tweak Dalvik heapsize for large application
Both are editable using software but they're also properties on the build.prop :
- dalvik.vm.heapsize
- ro.sf.lcd_density
Does editing this properties is enough for the Folio follow or do we have to make much complex operations ?
I there, is this fix already implemented or has to be done manually?!?
I've implemented them using FolioWidget rewriting build.prop.
Not sure the folio take care of it.
But it seems that's is not required by users so i'll wipe them

density of 120 works quite fine here now.. with old market app, there was a problem with 120 but that seems resolved now with new market app..
and yes, somehow screen and browsing seems to work better? or is it just the bigger picture giving a nicer resolution of browsing?
All resolution are good. If you have a lot of items on the screen lower density is best.
But by using something like 180 you get a lot of visibility. Since i've developped a lot of complex widgets, it's my favorite one.
Using a density >120 will get you less data to manage on the screen and you can feel the gain ! i'm using multipicture and a lot of complexes widgets and there's not fillrate lag at all.
I was quite surprised with this benefits.
My purpose is that those options can really feet somes users needs. VM heap tricks like the one you found on cyanogen helps on huge application like PDF readers.
But even after editing those properties on the build.prop they are not taken into account. Maybe because of the previous installation i've done. So i'm looking to better understand how to override android properties.
I'm not sure how android handles non-default values for this property.
You should try with one of these:
120 (low-density)
160 (medium-density, Folio default)
240 (high density)
Depending on how this is handled, setting a density different than that may result in broken applications (depending on how the layouts are coded)
Using the LCD DEnsity application i confirm that all resolution are compatible with the folio
Maybe some application will have a bad behavior ! so we've to be able to change the density

This is no fix, as there are no real issues with these things. Its only a matter of tweaking the folio to your best personal use. They have to be implemented manually.
Shouldn't the dalvik heapsize fix the sound problem with some avi files?
I'm using the foliomod 1.3d, foliowidget works, but some avi files arn't giving me sound
Hello, could someone tell me how the default value for the heapzize is, please? There is only 16, 24 and 32 to choose, but I read something about 64!? How can I choose this value or get back to default?
Thx

Edit: solved!

[MOD] Modded stock CAMERA apk For Better Image Quality-(6MP 16:9 opt added!)

Update: I have modded somemadcaaant camera apk and added it below
Update 09/05/12 - 6mp 16:9 added like you requested
Post feedback!
Hi all,
I'm new to android and development and this is my first modded apk
After great thread on ray forum I tried to dig and try different settings.
this is my final version of the apk, I don't think that the quality can be improved any more without modifying camera lib files.
*In this version you will get more camera MP options:5MP 4:3,6MP 16:9
*All the bitmaps changed to ARGB_8888 for better quality.
*Tried to enable inPreferQualityOverSpeed and inDither to the bitmap
Enjoy!

Hi all
I made some mod to the stockcamera apk to get better image quality of Ray and ARC.
can you upload framework-res and SemcGenericUxpRes and the stock SemcCameraUI and I will mod it?
If your SemcCameraUI is the same as arcs ics you can try it here:

You can just grab it from the 2.3.7 Xperia S firmwares or roms in the dev section
It's better to do that before starting a thread in themes & apps, requests need to be done in general
Hope your mod will be good

I think that the ics camera APK is supporting all xperia line, in the setting it has the recommended setting for 12mp camera, 8mp camera,5mp camera
can someone try and report?
Cool, check my signature for the files and edit what you like. If I've read your thread correctly I've already made those value changes?

and I found out that you can install the apk without reboot,
1)stop camera service and clear data at apk manger
2)copy the modded apk to "root" folder and apply permissions
3)cut the apk from "root" folder and go to system/app
4)locate the old semcameraUI and delete it
5)past the modded apk
and walla! the apk installed
it works for me- you try it on your risk!
Thanks for your work.
Do this mod improve the JPEG file compression (increasing file size)?
Does it have any improvements in color balance, white/shadow levels or anything like that?
It'd be nice to have this info in the first post... because as far as I can understand you ported the features included in the mod from somemadcaaant but they are not described here... And then you added the possibility to have 5 and 6MP image size.
Just a small feedback.
Thank you for your work!

thank you for your feedback,
I posted the link describing this mod at the arc thread ("for more info about the mod click here!"), and I modded the somemadcaaant coz it already improved over stock apk.
the jpeg size not really increased coz it already at 100%
and I tried fv-5 apk that can save photos at PNG format (17MB for 8mp pic) and no improvement in quality (photoshop 800% zoom)
the quality and details only can be changed in camera drivers (post processing)

YOU ARE IN XPERIA S FORUM!
go to my thread in signature and there you find arcs version (ICS or GB)
Yep working very well with the new 5mp and 6mp options, thanks for your work!
We still need to raise the image quality some how, i dislike how the software blurrs the image when zoomed in with so much colour noise added on, doesn't make sense for a 12mp sensor and seems to be inconsistent with results.
Hopefully ICS will have a fix, the ArcS ICS i read somewhere on the XDA forum fixed image compression.
PNG image size is incredible from what you say, would it be better saving the image as a pure bmp instead? I don't think most of us would be worried about image size if it meant better images over all

Front camera not working!

Hello i have a Live with Walkman phone
Well my problem is when taking photos with the front camera result in a green glitched picture, see images
Seems like photos are taking with a resolution of 2MP or better, 8MP (screenshot 2).... we all know that's imposible because LWW's front camera max resolution is 0.3MP ... Also changing resolution to a 16:9 glitches too (screenshot 3) Before taking any snap camera looks like normal (screenshot 1)
the back camera is working well
so i don't know what's happening with this... i tried to delete data of Camera app... with no luck
... well haha before this i changed some values in the build.prop but when i reverted these back the issue still here ...
there's some to do or change? any configuration file to say camera what resolution should have to take photos?
I don't want to do a full flash...
I've attached my build.prop if useful
please help
(sorry my english isn't good)

If you changed some values in build.prop, are you sure you reverted them properly? Try clearing cache and dalvik cache.

Already tried that!
i'm on stock ics.. for now I'm using another camera application
i tried to revert them... but i don't know exactly which values were
i know that ´5m´ is default for my back camera... but front one?
@DiegoJp
I have absolutely no idea why it does so. If a third-party camera is working, it excludes camera corruption. My advice would be to get an camera apk from tft file from xda with appropriate 4.0.4 rom for your device and replace it in /system/app. All files are in General section in thread Tutorials, Firmware, FAQ (I am not allowed to post links yet).
If that doesn't help, i think you will need to reflash your rom. You can do it without wiping data, but you need to uncheck proper option in flashtool. You will loose root and recovery (if you have one) but I suppose it is better than nothing.

[INFO][HOWTO]Using Lower LCD DPI density to get more screen space

CM12.1 support DPI adjustment natively (if you see some apps still show bigger font, then try modify the build.prop to same value, this may help.)
========================
B320/B322 update screwed up below DPI adjustment. Thanks @medwatt testing, see #45 for details. For values like 240 or 260, the phone is completely blank, and if you do 'adb shell logcat *:E', you can see the resource not found error all over the place.
========================
Edit on July 3, 2015:
On Lollipop B309, the ro.sf.lcd_density is in build.prop already and set to 320, we can change it to smaller value: (make a backup first)
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
you can use any number between 240 to 320. Save then reboot. (Thanks @ArkAngel06 point out this entry still works)
Then everything is working fine. No expose needed and didn't see any big problem so far.
One problem we noticed is stock 'Browser' app FC, pls use your favorate 3rd party browser instead. (The one i currently use is boat browser)
========================
Following is original post for JellyBean 4.3
===Normal disclaims applies, be careful and know how to use adb to restore /system/build.prop before you try this=============
You phone may brick if this file got corrupted.
ROOT is required to change the LCD density.
Today trying to play around the DPI of display, and noticed the stock value is 320:
Code:
getprop | grep dens
[ro.sf.lcd_density]: [320]
But our 720p display native DPI is 240. That's why all the stuff display so big??
Anyway, I backed up /system/build.prop, and play a little bit.
I recommend simply use Root Browser with "RB Text Editor" to do the task. Other DPI changer app may work and convenient, but it is more risky and may do some change unknown to the phone. Due to lack of backup/restore recovery right now, I prefer manually editing the file myself.
Adding following to the end of /system/build.prop.
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=264
For some different varies like Consumer Cellular version, or MT2L05 version, you can try following if above doesn't work:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=264
Not sure it is a bug or what, when I use ES file explorer to edit the file, If I select edit mode right after open the file, it won't scroll to the end of file. I have to scroll to the end first in view mode, then select edit mode. Anyway, Root Browser editor works without any problem.
Following is some test result:
Code:
______________ System UI________ Settings__________ Gallery
180__________force close
200______________ok____________ force close______ force close
220______________ok____________ force close______ force close
240(native)______ok____________ force close______ force close
260______________ok____________ force close______ force close
264______________ok________________ ok____________force close
280______________ok________________ ok____________force close
320(stock)______ ok________________ ok________________ ok
Also, for all DPI less than 320, the stock lock screen shortcut is not displayed properly.
I think I will stick with 280 (update, now I am using 264) for a few days and see if I found more problems. And it should be easy to find an alternative gallery app.
The smaller font and everything actually make the display more clear and sharp
PS. I know there is font size in display settings, but the DPI change will make system zoom everything based on this new display density.
Thanks aragon257 and others feedback, some info from below is collected from the replies. Thanks.
MORE INFO/UPDATE:
. There is Exposed framework modules (like app settings) to do per app DPI settings. Please see end of this post for more info.
. The app force closing caused by lower DPI is purely software (view layout arrangement) issue, so lowering DPI will not do any harm to hardware.
. List of Apps that Force Close. I list them from higher DPI to lower DPI, The apps that crashes in higher DPI will also crash in lower DPI.
DPI 264 or 280: Currently I am using 264.
Lock Screen: No crash here. The app short cut moved to center of the circle, and requires less distance swipe to unlock.
Gallery (Also affecting camera since it start Gallery when you view pictures)
Alternative: "Galleray KK" and "Camera KK" from play store works pretty good, though it is Ads supported.
DPI 240:
Settings
Phone app when receiving calls.
Use Xposed Framework
OK, set DPI to 240 in build.prop, I need use Xposed module "App Settings" to set following App DPI to higher value to make the phone fully work:
Code:
Gallery(com.android.gallery3d): 297 (dp: 320x480)
Phone(com.android.phone): 264
Settings(com.android.settings): 264
SystemUI(com.android.systemui): 264
This number is set to lowest possible value, of course you can set to 320, then related apps will be bigger.
Please see attachment for some screenshot: (Left is stock 320 DPI, right is 264 DPI)
Thanks for doing all the research here
Use xposed and install app settings. Use it to give those apps that crash the default DPI. Just tried working great. And thanks about the tip of adb build.prop backing up.
Running at 240 DPI here.
Edit: Play store wouldn't download anything until I cleared the cache.
Edit again: Actually viewing images and trying to use the camera causes the gallery to crash... Ill fix it
FINAL Edit: Installed the kitkat camera and gallery. I had to unisntall the old gallery first. This works for me
Great, that xposed module is pretty cool, but for now I must resist as we don't have recovery yet
BTW, I have updated first post to correct the System UI FC number, it is 180, not 220. ie, DPI can be as low as 200 and the phone is still usable. So, native 240 is a pretty safe value.
Also, the "Huawei home" FC start showing up from 220 and below, though I am using Nova launcher.
Cheers.
I was having problems with incoming calls crashing the phone app. So back to 320, but using App Settings to change my downloaded apps to 240
Admired by this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/info-official-galaxy-nexus-lcd-density-t1392089
Call me bored, today I have tried more DPIs, and found 264 is the lowest number that Settings is working. Since the crashing is just cause by GUI view arrangement issue, nothing to do with hardware etc. So I will stick with 264 for now.
For the past few days with settings 280, I only noticed gallery is the problem. I didn't try too much widget/apps. Everything else I tried works pretty good.
Please refresh my memory, is lowering the DPI making the image smaller? If so, im interested.
yes, everything (font,icon,layout)will be smaller. but image actually maybe different story. try and see yourself!

when calls come in, phone apps FC when dpi is 240 ( and app settings use 320 for com.android.phone)
EDIT:
OK, Maybe this defeat the purpose, set SystemUI to 264 resolve the incoming call problem. The incoming call crashed the phone app because the StatusBar trying to get a phone icon resource but failed.
To summary, In build.prop DPI set to 240, I need use Xposed "App Settings" to set following App DPI to higher value to make the phone fully work:
Code:
Gallery(com.android.gallery3d): 297
Phone(com.android.phone): 264
Settings(com.android.settings): 264
SystemUI(com.android.systemui): 264
This number is set to lowest possible value, of course you can set to 320, then related apps will be bigger.

[GUIDE] Change Screen Resolution [Performance Tweak][CM/AOSP]

>Change Screen Resolution<
Introduction:
I'm going to write this guide to teach you how to change the Screen Resolution of your Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4 AOSP/CM Based ROM to improve the graphics performance of your Mi3 without stressing your CPU/GPU while playing games.
What you need to Download:
Resolution Changer by NoMone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_TXl1VcrLFoWB8QXozIGIBA
Root Browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ser&pcampaignid=APPU_1_oXl1VczIG4_s8AX7-YLQCQ
Note: Default Screen Resolution of Xiaomi Mi 3 is 1080x1920FHD @480 DPI, well what we are going to do is Change it into 720x1280HD @320 to improve performance. (Don't worry about getting the icons bigger, the reason why we have to reduce the DPI on the Build.prop is to avoid glitches and make the Icons and UI at the normal size when changing the resolution, because using the Resolution Changer alone will cause some glitches on other apps )
Steps:
1. Open Root Browser; and find /system/build.prop and open it using RB Text Editor.
2. Find ro.sf.lcd_density=480 and change it to 320.
3. Click Save.
4. Open Resolution Changer; Enter 720 Width, 1280 Height, 320 DPI
5. Click Apply and wait for it to change.
6. Click Yes to Confirm and Skip on the next dialog.
7. Now exit the app and Reboot.
After rebooting, you'll see that you've changed the Screen Resolution to FHD>HD. :good:
Congratulation, to prove it do an Antutu Benchmark test and you'll see the difference. :good:
Additional Info:
(OPTIONAL IF YOU'RE USING CUSTOM DPI ON FULL HD)
If you were using a custom DPI on FULL HD for example;
You're using 400 or 380 or 370 on 1080x1920FHD Resolution,
Do these to properly change resolution to avoid getting the UI or Icons Bigger than Normal.
Example;
If you are using 400DPI on 1080x1920FHD.
400÷3=133DPI
400-133=267DPI
so the right DPI that you're going to use would be; 267DPI on 720x1280HD PLEASE, DONT FORGET to CLICK THANKS!​
Everything is working almost perfectly. Some icons are larger than they used to be. But that wasn't problem. Real problem is that SwiftKey keyboard didn't scale. So I had to revert back to Google original keyboard to reset resolution back to 1080p

Alright! ?
Initially tried this with MIUI v5, turned out to be very bad. The icons became very large and going to back to native resolution didn't help either. Fortunately I had nandroid backup.
Later I tried it on MIUI 6, it worked!
Some glitches are there:
- On recent apps screen
- camera effects selection screen
- Calender and clock icons turned invisible
- Minor glitches in clock app
Otherwise everything looks good, and performance bump is noticeable. Excited to find out how much it improves battery life.
Thanks for sharing.

No problem
that's why it's for CM/AOSP Based ROM but I'm glad that it worked for you though there are some glitches.
Hi im using a a33 tab with screen dpi 160 and 480x800 resolution. Can I change this to higher resolution and dpi?

You can but, I won't recommend it because it would just stress out the processor and gpu of that low-end tablet, just leave that be.
Better use gl tools
While everyone gets larger icons,i am getting small icons,small screen,and all the app including resolution changer itself says the current settings is 1080x1920 with 320dpi.
Where am i doing it wrong?
I am on cm12 latest nightly.
same problem as Jongla here, running the same CM 12 nightlies. I guess the problem is that resolution changer doesnt change anything after you apply, current settings are kept as FHD res. Maybe try a different app to do it.

thanks buddy, this one works like a charm
cool trick..
It's become blurry, not clear like before
Guys, if you're using a CM rom, just install Xposed and install the App Setting module. Then, you just choose the app, turn on the custom settings, choose the resolution and dpi you want, and the app will run with those defenitions without having to mess with the entire UI on the device...
