Can I get an apk of a hacked camera that focuses in automatically(or long press to focus) just before taking a shot with a power button?
Did you look in the Themes & Apps subforum?
yeah, I didn't find the one that auto focuses on the press.
Find the miui camera.apk in themes and apps. If not here, go to the nexus s forums themes and apps and pick it up there.
As far as hacked goes, it does not offer power button action, but it has everything else

Here is a link to one with auto focus

Hey all,
I know last time Paul O'Brien ported HTCCamera.apk to the N1, but I haven't seen any announcement of the version from 2.2 being ported. Googling turns up nothing. Has this been accomplished?
I just moved over to CM6rc3 and am missing my tap-to-focus :-(
The latest nightly has tap-to-focus on the camera.
I just found it on 6.0.1 - you tap the settings icon from within the camera app and then scroll down to an area where you can set tap to focus, autofocus, or none.
That is one of the very few things that is keeping me from CM6... the HTC camera app allows you to tap to focus as well as auto focusing when you actually take the picture.
The CM6 camera app only allows one or the other... so if you use tap to focus and suddenly need to focus on something else, you have to tap again. And auto focus is much slower than the HTC app in my opinion.
It's a good camera app, you just can't rely on it to take a quick picture. You'll have to hope whatever you're trying to shoot sits still for a bit.
hey guys, heres an awesome camera edit from the fascinate forums, I have this installed on my mesmerize with the leaked froyo for uscc on it. it make your power button into a camera shutter button when in the camera app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949566
Thanks for the link to this. I downloaded 2.1 camera.apk moved with root explorer to system/app and it works great! Having a physical button is very nice. Have to be running froyo to use this mod or you will just get fc's tho guys!

This is cool. I use Big Camera Button to turn my whole touch screen into a button so I can just tap anywhere to take a photo. Available on the market in lite and full versions.
i really like the stock camera on the inspire but sometimes when taking a picture of myself/myself with someone its really hard to find the shutter button on a screen thats facing away from you and the "self-portrait" option doesnt work too well.
with that said is there a way to remap one of the volume buttons or possibly even the power button so that while in the camera app it can be used as a shutter button?
the app "Vignette" does this but i've noticed it takes a few seconds longer to load the camera than the stock camera app and often when i pull out my phone to snap a pic i need it to work as fast as possible. it also disables zooming for some reason. also it would be nice if there was a free alternative, im not a fan of paying for apps
i tried this apk but it gives me an error telling me my phone does not have root access, which it does.
i have the insprire 4g with stock rom sense 2.1 rooted with the ace hack kit
You could install a custom Rom that has a built in function to do this. The rom I use has this feature and is gingerbread with sense 3.5. I know there are other roms that can do this as well. No apps from the market will be able to utilize the capabilities of the sense camera. Cyanogen also has this feature but has a terrible camera so if you like taking pictures, I would stick with a custom sense Rom.

i see, thanks for the info. i still dont feel comfortable flashing rom's on my phone, im new to this whole thing and have a lot of reading to do.
i am using golauncher and a bunch of other things from the "go" series and i am very happy with the layout of the UI, so i see no real need to mess around with other roms honestly, and i dont think the want for a physical camera button is enough for me to risk messing something up
Just a quick question, not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I noticed that all the ROM's with the exception of 1 all have the TW Camera app as the default camera program. I then saw that the new Eclipse ROM came out and it has the AOSP camera.
Is there a way to extract the AOSP camera app and install that into a different ROM? Not sure how the whole framework thing works. etc... thanks!
First, why would anyone want to use the AOSP Camera app? Not saying it doesn't get the job done, but compared to the stock TW Camera app, it's not very nice looking, and the last time I used it, it wasn't nearly as functional. That aside, you should just be able to replace the APK as I don't think there should be anything that will affect functionality missing, but I can't say that for certain as you may run into issues.
Isn't there a camera firmware apk? Or is this in all phones and it's just what the actual camera app uses to communicate with hardware?

Thanks Innuts. I was just curious. Maybe its just me but when I take pics in portrait mode the buttons don't rotate to portrait mode like AOSP. Also I noticed sometimes if you take a picture in portrait it doesn't rotate the image, so it looks sideways. I noticed this when taking a picture then sharing it to social website. I was just going to test both out for fun

Wouldn't an AOSP camera allow for enhanced or modded Camera apks? I know we already have some slightly modded camera apks. One thing I think would be cool is some sort of adjustment to take shots at different exposure levels automatically.
Another thing that would just be insanely cool is the ability to pull out the RAW data. Is this possible with AOSP camera, or would a camera firmware rewrite be necessary? I would be completely blown away with RAW.
I personally like the tw camera, so I pulled the camera apk and camera firmware apk from tweakstock and put them into eclipse. while I was at it I also pulled the clockpackage apk, calculator apk and the calender apk from mnml and put in eclipse a well. As you can see I like the tw apps, but I love the speed of eclipse.Don't know what the difference is but the phone opens instantly on eclipse which is something I haven't been able to get any other ROM to do. So I think I will stay with eclipse with the tw apps for now until something better comes along. Sorry to hijack the thread, just wanted to put in my two cents.

Moving to Q&A
Is there a way to use the original, HTC Sense camera that ships with the stock version of the phone with [JB]Paranoid Android 2.52? I love PA but I loved the camera that came that the camera shipped with, specifically the ability to click and hold the shutter for a burst of images, and the various little filters.
I know the PA camera has a burst mode under settings but you have to turn it on and then you don't have control as to how long the burst is, you have to set a pre-defined number.
I've tried pulling the camera apk out of a the Venom ROM and installing it but I don't know how to replace the built in PA camera so I end up with 2 cameras and the 2nd one, the one I installed doesn't work then.

The Sense camera needs a Sense ROM. This has been well-established.
