Has any one seen a camera app where the shutter is on the screen. I hate using the ball to take pictures.
the AOSP camera app has it, you could rip it out of an AOSP rom
I thought you could just longpress to automatically focus and immediately take a shot
any one have a tutorial on how to rip the camera out out?

well you just download the rom, unzip it, go to system/app/ and there's your apk (if the rom isn't odexed)
AOSP Camera.apk attached.
First, and very important, turn Auto Focus "OFF". This will prevent it from changing focus all the time. It will auto focus when you long press, just not any time it wants to. The long press until you see the menu pull out disappear and it will focus and take the picture. I found that you have to use the trackball to take the picture after you focus the first time. After that you should just be able to long press to take the picture.If you need anymore help, please feel free to let me know. Remember auto focus off for the standard camera app.
Camera Magic app has it on the screen
First things first: Im not a code guru - I just have some expirience on other android devices and can't promise that my attempts will work succesfully.
So I'm trying to port the camera app from the Arc to our Play.
Looks like we will need to modify the libs, as the camera installs flawless but gives errors on start "No camera found".
Only tried the Arc app, as I didnt get my hands on the Neo dump yet.
Here the zip with (i hope) all libs and the apk itself.

Attempt #1
Copy & Paste all camara related libs from the arc to the play
FAILED - if you overwrite the play-own cameralib.so the phone hungs up in a bootloop.
That sounds cool. I'll take that the arc camera interface is custom made and not as ours the native android?

Thats the reason behind this whole story
Their custom app for the cam looks more cool and sofar i know has more options (or atleast they are better sorted)
Great Looking forward to your updates/progress
Regards Dousan...
Does this mean we will have HD recording?

If some of the real devs can make the libarys accept 720p recording, probably yes. as the camera seems to be capable to record in that high res. (eg. the htc desire has also a 5mp cam and record 720p flawlessly)
Can you make R the shutter button and maybe L just focussing?
ill help, ive coded a few apps for iphone 4 (cydia)
can you upload anything camera related from the arc, and include directories? thank you!
if anyone used the iFlat series themes, i was behind all the coding for the weather, time etc, im known as xX-SicKsKiLZz-Xx over at iFans
im also working on remapping the buttons, im seeing how the market camera apps remap buttons and working from there.
uploaded the apk and the libs, see 1st post
hold on, did you fix permissions after copying/pasting? thats the only reason i can see why you ended up in a boot loop.
i did. 10 signs.
just checking
ok, i spent all day on this, i managed to remap the camera button and its fully working in the native camera app, theres still a bug i need to figure out, the bug is that if you keep hold of the R button, it focuses but doesnt take a picture.
also, i managed to get the arc camera app working, you have to remove ALL old camera related stuff and replace it with the arcs stuff, then double check permissions.
theres still bugs, none of the features in the arcs camera app work, it FC's if you even try to take a picture.
im rewriting the all of the libs, ill post with updates & uploads tommorow

I second that ! great idea
I spent a few days on this when the arc and play were rooted.. think we will be able to get this working but need to wait until we can get some custom kernel action as there seems to be a link to the arc in the app... or possibly someone smarter then me can break the .apk apart (easy) and find the expression etc that limits its use to neo/arc (the hard part)
anyways thats my 0.02c
EDIT
just read

Any update guys?
Nothing new from my side. The app still doesnt recognize the camera.
Would be cool if we can get it working...

Yeah as the camera app on the Play is terrible to be honest, shame as the images are really good!

Its the stock android camera app, still they removed the the zooming slider for the sake of the front-face camera changer icon thingy stuff...whatever ^^;
I feel like this is a really silly question and a forum search yielded no one with the same question so it seems like I might just be missing something obvious!
Is there not an easier way to take a photo than to have to hit the little small "capture" icon when you're using the camera app? It works fine when you're taking a photo normally but when you either do a self camwhore shot or taking a photo of you and someone else, you face the camera towards you and then you can't see where the capture button.
I've been making due by putting my fingers really close to the button and then flipping the phone over and trying to get two of us in the photo just to realize that my finger didn't hit the capture button.
The front facing camera is awful but that makes sense.
I would have thought something as basic as double tapping or holding the screen would take a photo but that doesn't seem to work for me.
Thanks!
I would think the easiest way would be to use the self-timer feature

Exactly what I was going to say.
Hello, sorry if this in the wrong subforum, but I wanted to ask, is there an camera app for S4 which lets you take manual control over the camera?
I mean stuff like shutterspeed, aperature etc.
I think the S4 camera has much potential then the default camera app shows it to have.
Also, would like manual control over the video mode.

There isnt but you can give a try a few good ones,
-Camera fv-5
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro
-Snap Camera HDR
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
-DSLR
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera
the closest one for what your looking for it is Camera-Fv5 but i recommend all of them.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
The aperture is fixed at 2.2 anyway
Hi guys,
is there a fix for the blurry pictures that come out of CM Camera?
With auto and ISO HJR, I've often blurry pictures..
is there a fix to lower shutter time? it's a shame to have such a good sensor and a bad software under it...
UP
Rom + Kernel info?
Hi @andrea90 In order to help you better, can you provide us with the name of your Rom + Kernel setup?

XNPH44S stock
The camera prefer to have low ISO and too high time exposure so it takes blurry picture
Please try out the "Sport" and "Action" mode if you haven't already. Those might yield the result you are after. I've also notice that OnePlus's camera requires some steady hands to achieve blur-free pictures. If possible try getting a mini tripod for it and boom problem solved. Or if you don't want to make any other purchase, go grab the "Perfectly Clear" app from Amazon app store (for free right now), the app features a very effective anti-shake feature that helps alot (from my experience) plus other good features that the stock camera app lacks. Let me know how it works out for you
I'll try perfectly clear... I hope cyanogen team will fix his camera app
