WISH LIST for NEW ANDROID behaviours - Android General

This is a Wish List for any ideas for future development.
Posting a wish here means, the wish author/dreamer does agree, that it is a gift to the dev. community with no future rights of any kind for that dreamer.

My initial wish:
camera app for night vision - giving clear pics/movies in black darknes
- me as a noob - dreamer think, that the app could be written based on standard cam app with light filters altered
- now IR is filtered away to give a clear picture within standard light conditions
- what if somebody will filter away a visible range of light with IR filtering removed (filters will remove visible light instead of IR)
- next feature for the app could be automat swich between standard and Infra Red light spectra being active based on light intensity (e.g. below 10 lux it will go to night vision mode)
In result, there will be a camera app alloving the movie taking on suny beach and continue into dark cave without movie interruption having always bright picture

The IR filtering is almost certainly done in hardware. Its called a low pass filter and would have to be physically removed to allow ir night vision.
However the last point of high dynamic range video could be done in software, but not with infrared
From something awesome

Hi , isn't it possible to write a code which can switch OFF/and ON that part of hardware?

but for that your hardware must support it...

[Q] What's "whiteboard"?

The camera has several settings, like HDR or Close Up - but it also has a setting called "whiteboard" - which isn't described in the manual.
Anybody know what it does?
Assume for taking photos of your office whiteboard.
So no official docs on this?
A quick search of HTC.com would have revealed this:
What different camera modes can I use?
To take pictures that are customized to a specific environment, tap the Scenes icon to choose from the different Scenes (modes) that are available. The icon is located on the bottom-left of the screen when shooting in landscape mode, and is reflective of the scene that is currently active (A will be displayed if Auto mode is active) The different scenes are:
Slow motion video – Create brilliant slow-motion video without needing to use video editing software later.
Auto – Take high quality pictures with a very fast capture speed. This is the default setting and also enables other features such as continuous shooting.
HDR – In bright light conditions, bring out the details of both highlights and shadows without washing out the image.
Panorama – Extend your shot by taking high quality panoramic pictures.
Portrait –Adds a smoothing effect to skin and bringing out the most of the human features.
Group portrait – Captures the most possible smiles and fewest blinks.
Landscape – Brings out the best features of nature’s wonders.
Whiteboard – Take the best possible pictures of highly reflective surfaces.
Close up – Also known as macro mode, this mode brings out the best colours and features of pictures taken at a close range.
Low light – Take great pictures in bad conditions, reducing overexposure caused by using a flash in these conditions (The flash is disabled while using the Low light scene).

How do you think I found the info for you? Btw the search of HTC.com took 30 seconds. I was over estimating by merely saying "quick search" because I figured it would take a lazy, entitled person a little longer. I guess not everyone has enough common sense to perform an internet search, though. So, how 'bout you look at the link I posted in my first reply? Better yet, maybe I should act like a spoiled child too, and retract my help.

[APP][2.3+] Hold Screen ON v1.35

Hello, I want to introduce the Hold Screen ON app.
Bring a little bit of SGSIII opportunities to your phone
This application act as service and use front camera of your phone for human face detection. When the face is detected, the application will prevent the locking of phone's screen. Just keep the screen on while you are looking on it.
Key features:
This application uses your phone's camera only during the face scanning. By default, it is 3 frame every 5 seconds. Between these intervals, you can run any other application which can lock up and use the camera.
If your front camera have low resolution or small viewing angle, you can use eyes detection instead of face detection. Or all toghether.
The app can detect the phone rotation and respectively rotate image.
This is a Lite version. Therefore, application service's activity will be stopped after 10 minutes of continuous operation. Just restart the service, when it happens.
Requirements:
Android 2.3+ device with frontal camera
Download link:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kkeyser.android.eyebuddy.demo
And the last:
I myself am the owner of the Note and often use my application. I think many will be interested in it. Of course, I am pleased to hear all your suggestions and comments
I used a similar app called ISeeYou and to be honest it didnt work so well for me,
Does this one work perfectly ? Dont want to be buying apps that dont do the job
Just try it and decide I post link to the free version. Unlike the ISeeYou, I use opencv library with face and eyes detections cascades. The benefits is a eyes detections (in addition to face detection). Disadvantages is apk size - now about 4 MB.
Update:
Version 1.27 is released.
New features and fixes:
Application binding: now you can describe app behaviour on all or one apps running.
Minor and major bug fixed
Hi trying the app now. It does not work in low light condition on the Note.
Any suggestions
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
how is the battery usage with it?
Sorry, but in low light conditions any face detections app is lost. I try to improve detection algorhytms, but it can take some time.
About battery drain - mostly depends on scan interval. When screen goes off, the worker thread stops - run only when screen on (depends on app binding rules).
v1.32 is released
Version 1.32 is released.
New features:
Native (Android) face detection method implemented
Image histogram normalization was inplemented
New version
New release: 1.35
* Notification management
* Remove lag in the main app menu
* Legend on tap on preview image
This is when we say smart innovation bravo bravo bravo, perfect idea and perfect developing keep up mate...Thanks

Many bugs fixed = stability improved
P.S. I hope, new bugs is _not_ appears )

Gallery viewer with pre-calibrated color & gamma corrections

The Galaxy S4 has a good screen but it's a little too over-saturated giving unnatural skin tones. Switching to "Movie" mode results in rather muted colors. For accurate color reproduction there's a new app "Calibrated photo Viewer" on Google Play with pre-calibrated color and gamma corrections to show photos in their natural colors.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.auralisoft.jpegviewer
Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces are supported so both standard and professional photos can be viewed seamlessly, without the need to switch 'screen modes'.
The app works just like a normal photo viewer. No rooting is required.
link : Not found !
Oops! Sorry, not sure what happened.

Added color balance controls
I have added controls for custom fine tuning of color balance, to allow for variations between different S4 devices.

I'll check it out, thanks! I'd love a way to set the rgb for the whole phone, not iust one app, as my whites are quite greenish in comparison to many other screens-is this possible without kernel modifications?
Unfortunately I don't think that is possible without a mod kernel.
Check out the new version with Auto Color Balance.
Use a camera on an external android device as a color measuring device.
No more fiddling with color controls.
The two devices communicate via Bluetooth.

[APPS]Top 5 Camera Apps for photography

My #1 Top Pick: Photo Wonder
Photo Wonder is a nearly perfect camera app from Baidu Inc. The color is crisp and true to your actual light without grabbing an orange or ‘dirty’ cast like other camera apps. It has a great zoom feature that allows you to get even closer than the example photo. It’s fast to load, quick to capture and has one click saving and sharing to social networks all in one screen. Photo Wonder also comes with 7 filters, editing screen with classic edits and special effects (including funny stickers, props etc), a review screen and a collage feature. Photo Wonder is like several apps in one. Down side: I’d like to see more filters, but the 7 they do offer are varied and useful such as a soft Elegant, Vintage, HDR, etc. Price: Free
.
.
.
2. FxCamera
FxCamera, from ymst, offers what first appears to be a very simple interface with just 5 filters. However, it gains the number two spot in my list not only for it’s sharp focus and accurate exposure, but also because those 5 filters are just the categories for over 25 other sub-filters. The range is fantastic: from fish eye to reflection to comic book. Down side: Needs more stability during a shot to get the perfect focus. Price: Free.
.
.
.
3. Cymera
Cymera, from SK Communications, comes in third with sharp focus and fast response time. It’s also another feature packed app worthy of any camera crazy shutterbug. Features include: 15 specialty filters, cropping, tilt-shift, liquify and more. It also comes equipped with anti-shake and timer settings. Down Side: Slower to start up, several second delay when saving a photo, color not as true. Price: Free
.
.
The last two on my top 5 are apps that do not offer a ‘no filter’ setting. So these would be good for social sharing, creative posting, etc..
.
.
.
4. Retro Camera
A cute app for specialized photos from developer Urbian. Retro Camera comes with 6 camera modes, each with their own set of filters: Barbl (dark washed black and whites), Orange Box (dark, scratchy vignettes), Xolaroid (Polaroid styles), Pinhole (film effects) and Hipsteroku (vintage styles, one seen above). Downsides: Slower to start up, more complicated menu, no non-filter option. Price: Free
.
.
.
5. One Man With A Camera
This app comes from Wise Shark Software, makers of the popular Pudding Camera. One Man With a Camera is a multifaceted experience which also delivers with the ‘pick a camera’ style menu. Cameras (with 12 filters each) include: Lomo (seen above), Old, Underwater, Square, Polaroid, Tilt-shift, fish eye, 4-In-One and SuperSampler. OMWAC also offer something most phone photographers love: a silent shutter for inconspicuous snapshots in public or quiet settings. Another reason I like this app is that you can touch anywhere on the screen to take a photo and it automatically saves after each shot. Downsides: Most filters are very extreme. Takes time to switch from one camera style to another. Price: Free...

studio lighting is a gimmick?

Can anyone explain the studio lighting feature ? I have seen it on various phone but here the oneplus is just using this as a gimmick
As per the information from oneplus forums :
"Studio Lighting is not a separate setting, instead, it's part of image processing applied on every photo where there are human faces and will not affect other parts except the face. It's a result of deep cooperation with Kevin Abosch, AI has been trained to simulate Kevin’s lighting skill whenever a human face is detected.
Studio Lighting is automatically applied in photo mode and Portrait mode."
