Camera hacks

[PaNa-S]

What are some general camera hacks that we can all use on our phone to improve quality or speed? Like reg hacks, or software that does a better job of taking photos, or has a business card scanner or something.

search is being limited to the last 4 days on me for some reason. That is why I ask. I am looking for all hacks and general hacks.

I can't imagine what you expect people to say, nobody can hand over a magic wand.

Picture resolution is hardware dependent. If your phone has a crappy sensor, software won't magically transform crappy pictures into high resolution ones.
Likewise, speed of taking a picture depends on shutter speed, which depends on the sensibility of the captor to the light. If your sensor has crap sensibility and you try to shoot a picture faster, it will be dark.
Finally, storing speed depends on hardware (e.g. storage card). I guess that if you were getting a very fast card, pictures could be stored faster (but I don't say noticeably faster) as long as the card is indeed your bottleneck.

So tips are:
1 - for better pics, you need a better camera.
2 - for faster saving times, you can try a faster card.

On the other hand, there are software that will let you take pictures with filters, templates and backgrounds, etc. But that doesn't make "better" pictures quality wise.

search your registry for "camera" with a registry editor.

i found somewhere that you can change the framerate or fps (frames per second) or something like that, for better VIDEO quality. though they recommended not putting it too high as it would then put too heavy a load on the system and make the videos choppy.

good luck.

ps while your searching the registry, it will be in a folder where there are directories like "3gp small" "3gp medium" "3gp large" "mp4 small"...etc... i think.

Nothing like cool camera that add more options and improves the quality a little? Thank you 256.

I see that picture quality is set at 0 and video quality is set at 2. Should i increase or decrease these numbers to improve quality.
