i know this will be a very great app but i cant find existing or anyone who knows..
it will be good to have a app to, on click activates camera and snaps using predetermined settings.
it will be good for see it snap it suituation..
current camera program will have the thing gone before it even loads..
anyone has knowledge to interface directly with the cam? pls assist us.
am using htc touch hd
hmmmmm no one knows?
Been playing around with the camera since yesterday and I have to say I'm mildly disappointed. My Samsung Vibrant shot excellent photos for a cell phone camera (my daily driver is a Canon 5DMKII).
Looking at the specs and the size of the sensor this should be a dead ringer for top camera, but the dynamic range seems to be worse than the Vibrant and compression more heavy.
Are there good camera app alternatives that can use the Optimus/G2x hardware?
There is...
I've been using Vignette with my G2, and now that I have a G2X, this app comes in handy even more... besides taking really good quality shots... you can set the volume button as your shutter button. Voila: you got a physical camera button on your G2X.

This is the MIUI Camera app. It's a full screen camera app. Works better than default app. Download it and change the extension to .apk and install it via package installer or adb.
Camera 360 is a wonderful camera app
Makes ur camera work amazing wonders
Worth buying
But there are ways
I purchased mine abdbyave no regrets
very hi def and even made my mt4g camera look amazing

Try lgCamera from the market, there's a free version too. It's made for LG phones, so hopefully it will work well.
It adds support for autofocus in video mode! I hope that feature works for the G2x

This is a great app. Thank you so much for the post. I recommend this for all G2x users!
i personally would not use MIUI as HD 720P seems not to work
BUT on the plus side it is made by XDA-Developers
they always make good stuff and are the leaders in innovations for the smart-phone market
(shameless plug maybe I'll get a cookie for it )
i don't see how this app would do anything to improve image quality on the G2X
as the app was generally made to replace the clunky and overblown GUI software that came with the Galaxy S / Vibrant,
so how will that improve the image quality on the G2X
as DataJunkie wants, he did not ask for a better GUI but better quality pictures
maybe i miss-understand
anyway the app can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996867
and a review of the app here
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-miui-custom-camera-app-on-samsung-galaxy-s-vibrant/
Just my 2 cents,
i realize i did not try or test this app on the G2X,
so my 2 cents maybe worthless
.
I use camera 360 ultimate, i love that app, is awesome, it has hdr mode and a few other modes, you should try it.

Strange I used to switch between camera 360 and vignette on my MT4G but now when I try those apps on this phone it seems really anyone else notice this?

These are all really good suggestions, thanks guys.
I think I'm going to do a test with 3 different camera apps and lock down the phone on a tripod to compare. I'm interested in knowing how much the camera is held back by software and how much it can be improved upon.
Now all I want is a cameraphone that can shoot RAW.
Where can I get camera 360? I can't find it in the market?

I know, it's weird, you have to type it as "camera360" or else it won't show up.
Okay i see it now, thanks

I was disappointed with the Camera app on my MT4G and went with Camera 360 due to extensive compression (at leat 2 to 1) on stock app.
I think this one is much better, and it makes large files per picture which indicates it does not compress that much. Have you checked out all the settings?
The flash goes off too soon with Camera 360, just tried it out.

did you ever find out the result?
I like Camera Zoom FX the best then Vignette. Both of these have hardware hotkeys. Camera Zoom FX has stable shot mode that Vignette doesn't have. Camera360 Ultimate is ok for me. Stock camera app seems to have brightest flash and very noticeable.
Does anybody have a .apk of the MIUI app? I'm having a hard time with the .zip :/

Question: Does tango video chat work? Or even fring video chat?? Qik sucks... and to think skype bought them. Good luck skype.
not work with the front camera. and un-able to switch.
super slow!( in same city)
Market comments for Tango suggest that they will release an update for g2x support. As it is, everything works except initiating the forward facing camera, lol.

Hope the update comes out soon...
qik actually works like a cham on this phone

It works to record and send video mail. Unfortunately, the only person I know who has a front-facing video camera that I would want to video chat with is on an iPhone 4, and the Qik software on iPhone and Android are mutually incompatible at the moment. They say they are working on a fix, expected sometime "around the middle of April" (which, in case anyone hasn't looked at a calendar in a while, has come and gone). Oh, well, I'm sure it will be RSN...
I've tested qik with another fellow g2x user not bad, but1.3 mega pixel sucks

Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you all know that Tango is aware of the front facing camera issues on the G2x. Our engineers are investigating the issue and we hope to release a fix for this soon. We have not forgot about you guys
Stay tuned!
Ive tried fringe with no luck, even tried yahoo video with same results. Only app I know of right now that supports g2x front facing cam is qwik. Its not a bad software just not particulary great.

not sure if people know about this but the aosp has release 2.3.4 for developers at this link

found this out on androidcentral.com
Awesome find!!!

Haven't read the full changelog but I don't see it benefiting us at this point from the minimal I have seen. It has added video chat which we don't have a front facing camera for so not sure what all devs can do to use this for us thats different from 2.3.3.
Might be the fix I'm looking for! Even if phone has rear cam I do use it for video calls to show where I am, but all 2.3 roms don't let me see incoming video properly :/

Out of curiosity, what's the point without a forward facing camera? Do you use a mirror?
Sent from my Unity Inspire 4G.
I used it for testing and its better than the one in yahoo. Its not that I really don't have a choice cos xperia arc don't have front camera, but the arc camera is known to be of superb quality. Also its nice to be talking to someone while showing your surroundings or someone to them. That's the point of the rear camera
