Photo took in exact same conditions using SMSCON are gray/green/addict dream or, most of the time, just plain unusable. So, it seems that somehow it's related to method (command?) of taking picture. Maybe reverse-engineering camera-ui Open source version code (related to capturing photos in font camera mode) can bring solution?

If no, I'm out of ideas - unfortunately, as I'm pretty sure it is *not* hardware limitation. The front camera isn't producing good quality pictures, and can be quit terrible in non-optimal lighting conditions, but it is not *that* bad.

Nicolai has spend time on this too. In camera-ui the front camera works only in video mode. Also on all the other cases you mention it is video that works, never pictures.

Purge the installation of the editor and reinstall.

HI, I have been keeping an eye on this "Great Thread" for a few days (since this new update session) i have not updated my SMSCon as yet (cause there was some bugs reported in this thread after the updates) but now i think i can update it (sorry i did not participate in testing the stuffs cause i am a noob)

can anyone confirm for me if the latest SMScon is working flawlessly?

Happy new year to all.

Problem with the camera is that it needs to "warm up" a few seconds. The frames delivered until warmed up are almost garbage. Unfortunately the frame attached to the picture email is one of (if not even The) first fames. I worked on that already but didn't solved it yet. Have to learn more gstreamer programming.
