Bad camera in 4.4.2?

ммм · May 18, 2014

Bad news for me - the camera in the new firmware has become much worse. Greatly increased color noise, noise reduction has become very aggressive. The result is blurred and "dirty". And the camera has become a kind of "click" while focusing.

Good news: Snap Camera appeared ISO setting from 100 to 2400 and HJR. Focus has become a little faster.

Motorola Razr Maxx HD XT926
ROMs:
- Nexesque 3.6 (based on stock 4.1.2, build 9.30.1)
- Stock Moto 4.4.2
APKs:
- Snap Camera HDR 4.2.1
- Moto Camera

Examples (100% crops):

Check it out on your phone plz.

Just click on my photo and look at the details.

I'll be glad if anyone try to make test photo with Snap Camera or similar software (with better quality than stock Moto camera) before and after update to Kitkat. May be it was just a my mistake - may be i didn't do factory reset after update. But now I'm on 4.1.2 Nexesque again and happy with old camera quality)

I see this on my Wife's M, 442 also.
Get the latest Lenovo Cam in my Moto x page. See My signature.

I use the Google Camera app from the play store. It seems to have pretty decent quality. I also disabled the stock camera app so on the lock screen or when opening up the camera through a shortcut it opens up Google Camera versus the stock one. I'd try that if you haven't yet.

The only thing I don't like about the Google Camera is it won't let me state where to save my pictures. I do not like storing them on the internal memory. At least with the Moto camera, I can store them on the external SD card.

Lenovo is good but no way to save to extSD or OTG as it does on my X. Internal only.

On KitKat my rear facing camera in SnapChat stretches the pictures vertically. What's odd is that it worked fine for the first few pictures. Anyone else have that problem?

ммм · May 27, 2014

Tried to put all *camera* files from /system/lib of old 4.1.2 ROM to new Kitkat. First was /system/lib/hw/camera-msm8960.so and after rewrite and reboot with clearing dalvic i got a fail on start Camera app. Ok, i rewrote all remaining files like /system/lib/*camera* , clear dalvic and made reboot. Now i've got a bootloop)

So, is anybody know how to install all old 4,1,2 camera driver to kitkat?

Is anybody got same problem?

s27moto · Jun 14, 2014

i think it's because your phone cant focus !
try other app with fix focus options

ммм · Jun 15, 2014

What do you mean - cant focus? I hold the phone, tap "shot" and after green square appears, phone makes the focused photo. On my examples you can see very noisy photos on KitKat, at first.

Any news in, guys?)

I've been having this issue ever since the update and no one seems to have an answer! It's annoying as crap...

It's the Moto G2 camera and it is running great on my Maxx. I'm running rooted stock VZW 4.4.2.

Edit: switched back to stock camera, the Moto G2 camera broke tethering.
