[Q] Zoe Camera? - Verizon HTC One (M9)

Does anyone know what happened to the Zoe camera? looking for the functionality to take a "Zoe" and then choose the best faces or save a frame of the "video" as a picture... just like on the m7 and m8. Surely HTC did not remove it from the M9?

I thought that was only a feature with the UltraPixel Cameras, which as we know, the M9 only has on the front?
I did notice that you have to add Bokeh, Photo Booth and Split Capture modes on the camera screen, but no more Zoe.
BTW, you can take a burst (20 quick succession photos) and still choose best shot.

There is no independent "Zoe" camera (I don't even remember that being on my M8.
You compile Zoe's from the Zoe app from pictures in your gallery.

He's talking about the Zoe camera Capture, not the Zoe video creation app...
Go into your stock Camera, press the button that has 4 circles in the lower-left of the screen (as you hold it in portrait mode). Stock it comes with Camera, Selfie, and Panorama. You can add the three modes I mention above, but on the M7 and M8 there was an option for Zoe, which took about a 10 second video that you could do all sorts of effects with.
I'm hoping it wasn't a Ultrapixel only (hardware-based) feature and that someone can add it once we get S-Off and root. The Harmon Kardon was software-based, so one can hope!

It seems, that they either removed Zoe camera from M9 with some update, or there were no feature at all.

Best ONE X Camera App?

Hi Guys,
I know there are similar threads, BUT the ONE X does have a very special camera, and I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with any specific Camera Apps yet?
Here are a few that I've tried so far, but nothing too special to be honest:
1. Camera 360
2. Paper Camera
3. Stock Camera App
So far Camera 360 is probably the best, but I've heard good things about Camera FV-5 and Camera Zoom FX?
When you say camera 360 is probaly the best, in what way?
Lower compression would be great, but I wonder how much the imagesense chip will restrict this and can third party camera apps bypass this process. I have tried camera fv-5 and there does seem to be a little less compression, which allows for slightly more detail, also you can save in png, but there is no zoom function.
All third party apps bypass ImageSense. I love Camera360. Way less compression, and the available filters are pretty cool too, better than Instagram~
I use now Camera ICS.
This one can disable the compression (at least it says so) and indeed the files get much bigger (100% in jpeg mode instead of 90 or 95%)
And since it still is JPG, you still can use the EXIF info.
I tried some others, but they did miss options or did also compress or the lighting was worse, or .......
I've tried a lot of 3rd party camera apps and, honestly, I find the stock HTC app to be the best.
Camera FV-5 is very good though.
Camera360 was great until some background process started to overheat My HOX, and I uninstalled it..

Stock HTC app has the best UI, but the worst image quality.

Hmm, can't say I've ever had this problem.
You may find this of interest, I have done a quick comparison between these camera apps.
1. Camera 360
2. Camera ICS
3. Camera FV-5
4. HTC Camera
You may find the results surprising, please visit the following link to the HTC ONE Users Group at Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/htc-one/discuss/72157629696073156/
Ive just been using stock ive had no problems with it
Stock is better than camera zoom fx, that thing may have bigger files but it is grainy in low light and over exposed everywhere else (unless you like that).
I can get better pictures using stock and the opening gallery and clicking that edit button.
If you click edit > effects then edit at the top you can manually edit all the filtering

The thing about the camera apps is that you can control exposure way more than you can with the stock app. If you were serious about taking pictures on the HOX, you'd be fiddling with every setting there is Stock camera definitely has the better metering, but I still believe that image quality wise, there's still way too much compression. I'll try to do a comparison some day.

[Q] APP -> Camera App with same features as Imagesense

Hy everybody,
I can't bear Sense any longer (multitasking is crap, everything is full of scam etc...)
Tried out some AOSP rom's and you can't come back, even for the cam...
So here is my question, is there a camera app out there with the same features ? (taking pics during filming, rapid burst shots to select the best one)
Thank you very much

I don't really think there is a camera that has any of the advanced features of the Sense camera. The Sense camera was built for the camera in this phone, so it can utilize all the features. Camera Zoom FX has some effects, I hear people like lgcamera too.
I know what you mean though. I'd love a non-Sense ROM, but I don't want to give up the camera. The camera is a very important part of the phone to me.
There are ROMs that are mostly AOSP while retaining some parts of the Sense framework.
JDR0iD_eXoDiZeD is one example, and it has the Sense camera app.
The only problem with most of these camera apps is that they produce images with too much noise (at least on the HOX).
Camera ICS + is good for pics.
Nothing beats LGCamera as far as recording videos is concerned.

I have:
- ICS+ camera (for pictures and video)
- LG Camera (for pictures and very good for video)
- Camera FV-5 (for picture with advanced/professional settings)
- Shot Control (for picture with advanced/professional settings)
- Pro Capture (for picture with lot of settings and burst mode)

Ah.....I think I found my answers after googling around.....Here is the answers if anyone is interested:
There are a number of reasons why Duo Effects may not work with your photo:
One or both lens were blocked when you took the photo.
You didn't use the Camera capture mode. You can't use Duo Effects on photos taken in other capture modes.
The photo you're trying to apply the effects to was taken using the front camera.
The scene was not set to Auto.
The flash was not set to off when the photo was taken.
There was not enough ambient light when the photo was taken.
You've zoomed in or the camera may be too close to the subject when the shot was taken.
Duo Effects can't be applied to cropped photos.
Duo Effects can't be applied to the same photo more than once.
Duo modi all the time greyed out
Hi,
i have the same problem all the time the camera says lenses are blocked. But my hand is far away form the two lenses

[Q] Camera preview default goes to timeline not just camera shots

Hi there,
So I noticed recently (I think after updates...) that when I preview my gallery via the bottom right corner in the htc camera app, it now previews all of my photos (aka the timeline section and includes screenshots, downloads, whatsapp videos) rather than just previewing my camera shots album (photos taking only with camera).
I was under the impression that before it would only show my camera shots when I use the gallery shortcut via the Htc camera app. I tried installing previous versions and had no luck.
Basically I really don't want it to go through all my other folders when just trying to do a quick preview of recent photos! I could put .nomedia in all of those folders I guess -- but I still want them in my gallery app, just not when doing a quick preview of my camera shots.
Anyone know if there is a place to change it? Thanks for any help
Htc one m8, most recent version htc camera and gallery. On lollipop 5.0.1.
I also hate this change.
I don't want to see all of my whatsapp, facebook, etc. images in camera preview.
Does anyone know how to change this?
Thank you
I hate it too.. Facing this issue on HTC one m7 running kitkat.. Anyone knows how to fix it?

You should look for a solution in the M7 device section. Applying fixes mean for other devices may not work, and may even harm your device.
Also, Kitkat is very old, and that may be part of the problem.

Modded Camera apk?

So for a few months now Ive been searching xda high and low for this, whAt I'm looking for is the htc camera apk that has all the normal features, as well as Raw AND ZOE camera options on it.
I've been able to find 1 or the other (camera w/raw but no zoe, or camera w/zoe but no raw)...
Could anybody please point me in the direction of where to find the camera with BOTH options? Whether it be a mod, apk, or even a Rom with this???
Again, it would be much appreciated, Ive searched high n low....

I've noticed something though . In system/customize/acc/default xml, if under the camera options, u change feature version from 8718 to 13414, it gets rid of Raw camera and gives u zoe camera available in the camera app.. There's gotta be a way to tweak this to get BOTH available

OK that got me thinking... I've been trying to get the crop-me-in feature back on m8. So I changed that number to 5202 (desire eye) and got it in my camera but lost Zoe... There gotta be a way to get all though...
Edit for science: I changed it to 8718 on my m8 now I can see raw in my camera app but it crashes the camera when processing

Yes there are no libs for raw on m8... Since I'm not that into coding such stuff I couldn't get both working together...

I can't see Zoe mode on m9 whatsoever !!!!! M9 doesn't have Zoe feature ! I know I can download it but it will only work a gimmicky mixer , not like m7 and m8 where it could pull 20 full frame pix with 3 seconds highlight video .... If there's anyway we could activate it on m9 it would be great as I used to use it ALOT

If you're rooted, try changing feature version to 13414 in system/customize/acc/default XML, look for where it says camera, and I believe there's a string that says feature version: I think it's 8718, try changing to 13414 ... That gets rid of RAW, but brings back Zoe camera in the camera on latest camera 7.30 ... To get rid of Zoe and bring back RAW, change back to 8718
i have camera with raw (updated from playstore) and zoe updated from playstore as well, these 2 apss do not come together, you have to install/update separately one by one...personally i dont like zoe but if you do want both i dont see the problem at all, but you will never get camra and zoe app together ok? =D

I don't think u quite understand what I'm talking about- NOT the Zoe app, but the ZOE CAMERA ENABLED IN CAMERA AS I NOW HAVE IT, see screenshot attached. So yes , u CAN get them together, OK?

As u can see, it IS QUITE possible. The only tricky part not done yet is getting both Zoe camera and Raw mode both enabled at the same time to switch between in the camera app. You can have RAW with ZOE camera disabled, or ZOE with RAW disabled. What I'm trying to accomplish is modding the apk to have ALL modes enabled and selectable at the same time

Is this your 1st HTC phone? As most veteran HTC modders / users know that ever since HTC 1st released the concept of ZOE, htcs camera app always included a ZOE CAMERA MODE built into the camera app, NOT the Zoe APP. it wasn't until just recently that they started removing it from the camera for specific models....

i think there is no possibility for ZOE plus RAW together in camera app... RAW only works for "normal" photos where ZOE is also meant for Videos...therefore you can't use both together...and even if i think the app would force close
All he meant is we want to use Zoe but if he modddd the xml file Raw will be disabled, he doesn't mean to use Zoe and capture it as raw format ,, ALL WE NEED IS ZOE ENABLED PLUS RAW SHOOTING MODE ENABLED not Raw Zoe capture

Exactly this.... I'm not trying to capture a Zoe in Raw format or anything like that, all I want is in the camera app, to have the ability to choose between all the different modes without having to MOD the default XML, (Raw, Zoe, Bokeh, Photobooth, split capture, Selfie, Camera,) ... To be able to pick between all the different modes without reboot.
