Hey
The thing is like that
i take a picture with my Nexus s (using AOKP milstone 4)
the picture is high quality no jpeg Artifacts took in the day light so there is no noise
i was happy with the picture so i wanted to put it as a contact picture
but when i get a call and saw the pic presenting in the incoming call screen
it was lower quality with jpeg Artifacts,
how can it be solved ?
its a phone and the contact and all phone realeted stuff should always look at best
One thing i love about ICS and JB is it has vastly improved the Caller images, those low res small images used to really get my goat! Using Hax Sync on ICS was able to get pretty good images and on JB i think the native resolution of the images is even higher because they seem to be a lot sharper. I still dont get the wierd way on which google has decided to splice the photo in the people app / contact menu tho, usually manages to cut of the head or something ,, seem completely illogical for me, tho again Hax Sync and its face detect feature to the rescue .. somewhat atleast ! :victory:
However another issue i see is the black background which pops up on incoming calls which covers about 60 % of the screen. This completely covers the image and defeats the purpose of having these beautiful high res photos of ppl synced to your phone.
Is there anyway around this which can either reduce the size and coverage of this black background or alternately control its translucence?
Any ROMs / Mods out there that address this ?
Would appreciate any suggestion on this..
Thanks
Hoshner.
Here check out this screen shot, as you can see, almost 75% of the screen is taken up by the opaque black background and the top by the translucent caller id banner, leaving just a thin slice of the screen for the caller photo..
Any devs have / can work on mods for this?
attaches pic shows a carpet. it looks blury and kind of filtered - but i haven't selected one. all settings on "0", highest resolution and so on.
anyone has a hint why?
It seems the HOX+ has strong noise filters... that means if you take a pic in very dim light it will not show much noise but it will look a bit like a painting
both (noise and strong noise filters) is not good for picture quality, so your pic would be nothing in any matter... take a pic in good light, there the quality is very good for a phone... And I don't know how much your sample picture has been magnified....
btw: why did you take a pic of your carpet??
thanks for the answer. i took the pic in dimmed light, max zoom. even faces are pixeled like that - but i don't won't to paste my wife here
how can i disable the noise filter? i like most features of the camera - but good light isn't always possible.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Zoom is just digital zoom, so if you take a picture at widest setting and copy the inner part out of it on your computer does the same... digital zoom is crap, but only way today on smartphones...
you can't do anything about the noise filter. try another photo app, maybe it handles pictures in a different way - didn't test it until today so I don't know where the processing does take it's part...
i had google camera 4.2 on my desire hd - what was a very fine app. but my hox+ isn't rooted yet (2 days old) and i like the fast picture option.
thanks for your hints
still not lucky with the advertised "best camera" - qualitiy is so pixelated :/ on my desire hd all was nice and clear.
is this a software or a hardware "bug"?
comparing "normal" with "camera pro" i have 990kb vs. 4.5mb
normal:
pro-camera:
took max. resolution, no filters or other changes.
maybe someone can show a pic from his hox+
it's frustrating.
thanks for your help

Hey everyone. I was just wondering what was everyone's take on the settings for the camera. I'm still undecided on the Anti-Shake usage in camera mode. It seems that it has a tendency to add more grain/noise to the picture (you can even notice it by carefully looking on the screen when you enable and disable it). Does it really help reduce blurry photos (since the phone does have digital image stabilization)? Also, same thing for video mode using video stabilization. Is it really beneficial to have it enabled? Since if you take pictures while recording, I think the resolution of the photo alters. Just wanted to know what would be the best settings in overall day-to-day usage.
I was just coming in here to complain about the camera myself and see what others are saying for best settings. I cannot either seem to get mine to take pictures without being blurry - in any type of light or with the flash.
I love the phone, but the outgoing and incoming call screens
Have a really small coin sized contact pic.
It just seems too small for the screen size.
Tried changing contact pic resolution but makes no difference.
