Anyone know how to change the location of pictures taken with the camera? I'd personally like to save them in /sdcard/Pictures/Camera.
Thanks!

I don't believe you can (at least from the in-app menus supplied with HTC's Camera app). You can always search the market for an alternative camera app. I know it's probably not ideal (I prefer to keep things as stock as possible), but it may be the only option until a dev can edit the APK.

i had an iphone b4 and i liked the phonezap app they had is there one for android? or anything similar?
Overview:
Send Geotagged pictures, see the latest zaps, get comments from friends, reply to messages, change your profile picture, and create ringtones right on your iPhone!
Well if you want to use that service in particular, then you can email the developers and ask for an Android version, they already have a WinMo version and a BB version.
But if you only want to geotag pictures that you take with your phone, then the default camera on Android 2.0 does that (so does the default camera on the Cyanogen Mod that I'm using) and most third party camera apps can do that.
As for creating ringtones (which I'm not sure why 1 apps needs to do both) then I recommend Ringdroid.
P.S.: next time, try to put some more effort in your post, maybe explain what the app you're looking for does!
I read somewhere (not sure where) that third party camera apps can not use the full potential of the dual-camera. Only the stock app can do that - not quite sure but I rememeber something that it can't access the 20MP black&white sensor or something.
Is this correct?
I would say that most third-party software was coded with one sensor in mind. I don't own a Mate 9, but I do know a bit about combining two images in one (binning) and photography. They are highly specialized actions, that require specially made software.
Dual lens appears to be the trend. Might go to the play store, send an email to the camera FV-5 folks. They've always been fast to respond
to my questions. I'm not really "interested" in dual lens cameras on phones. I use it for quick snapshots of things I work on (electronics).
for everything else, I defer to my dSLR.
So I have been thinking, in a few years, when everyone gets new phones, with new features. How are we going to edit the pictures taken with Wide Aperture mode (fake bokeh)? The only app able to change the depth of field of the picture is the stock gallery app by Huawei/honor that came with the phone.
Google photos DOES save the information to be edited later (but there is no way to edit them on Google photos app as far as I can tell).
So if a year later you restore photos to this phone and try to edit them, you can, but only with the stock gallery app.
Anyone here know of any 3rd party software on Windows desktop, and or on the web or android that can do this? So we don't have to be reliant on the Gallery app from Huawei in case we change phones later on.
Thanks.
You can't really change the aperture on phones as the aperture is fixed to f2 or bit more. What Google and Huawei and all the other do, is to approximate the behaviour by blurring the background in a postprocessing step. The better they detect foreground and background, the better this illusion works. But it's never a real bokeh.

I am well aware how this camera works, i am a part time photographer, This was not my question! my question was if there is an external source or app that allows us to edit these kinds of photos as the gallery app does, to refocus after we take the pics using the wide aperture mode.
I think that what Huawei does with their gallery app is a bit proprietary.

So basically after a few years if we want to edit these pictures it would either be impossible with another brand of phone, or might perhaps be possible if we keep buying huawei phones, with this feature, which is not a sure thing.
Yes I think so. But I didn't investigate on this topic. At least one can still open the Jpeg as the depth information is somewhat in it.
Unfortunately no third party apps that can do this.
Maybe if someone can port the gallery app, that will work!
I use the app "Automate" to do various chores on my phone, such as turning off my bluetooth radio when I leave home. I highly recommend it to anyone who has interest. Having bought the PH-1, I decided to play with some time-lapse videography. This is fairly easy to do in Automate, as it has the functionality to take pictures (and wait between) built-in. I can use either the primary camera or the selfie camera, and then stitch the pictures together in post to make the video.
My problem is the 360 camera. I so want to experiment with the 360 camera, but I am having some issues.
1) First, the camera seems to turn off when the Essential Camera App is not active. Does anyone know how to override this?
2) When I am configuring Automate. It does not sense the 360 camera. I am not sure how the app detects cameras, or if it does at all. After all, when was the last time you had a phone with something other than two cameras? It may be easiest as a programmer to just assume, and ignore the corner cases. But I am going to operate on the assumption it is possible to get this to work. In the app, if you set the "Camera" variable to 1, you get the primary camera, and if you set it to 2, you get the selfie. The obvious thing is to try 3 for the 360 camera, but this does not work. Neither does trying 0. Is there anyone who is both an owner of a PH-1 and a competent user of Automate that might have any ideas? Personally, I suspect if I can achieve step one above, this problem will come into greater focus. It will either be detected, or I will have enough information to go to the Automate community with requests. Right now though I suspect it is easier to find someone here with Automate experience than going there looking for someone with the PH-1.
Thanks for helping out!

I've never used automate, but I assume the "take picture" function you are using is independent.
Try setting automate to open up the essential cam, and then "take picture". The camera app has to be coded to read the external usb camera.
Is it the only gallery option stock? I just never have liked it an this it my first foray into Pixel. I guess it makes sense that they lock you into their apps by default. I hate the idea of having to trial a bunch of third party apps and figure out what covers my basics without tracking or hacking at me.
I disabled Photos and when I take a picture and hit the little icon of said picture it pops up to look at an instantly shrinks down and goes back to camera. So I assume my only option is the one mentioned above...
Any recommendations for a good, basic, safe gallery app? I've been on Samsungs and LGs in the past to that's my main frame of reference. I only need the ability to see them and maybe group them. No backups or online linkage needed as we backup automatically to our NAS.

p.s. I do like the camera though... seems to be better at auto mode than my LG V20 but of course the manual on the LGs is hard to top.
QuickPic has always been my favorite. I haven't really looked lately though. The one called Gallery by Cloud Innovation Studio looks pretty nice now that I'm actually looking. Check those out or maybe just type in Gallery and see what you find.
i use simple gallery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro&hl=en_US you can also get it on fdroid for free if you want https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/
quickpic hasn't been good in ages so i wouldn't trust it.
after you install a new gallery app just disable google photos and everything should switch to use the new one
Haven't tried that one, I'll give it a go despite quickpic working just fine.
weird idea: have you considered using the "images" shortcut of the "files" app? i've just saved it to a folder on my desktop and am finding it works fine for anything gphotos is not good for (i.e. looking at misc locally saved pics). (excuse all the black and the errr assortment of pictures i choose to keep on my device)

Problem (for me at least) is that quick switching from the camera to look at the last pic taken still fails if there's no default gallery app.

:laugh: I heartily laughed at the "old as time" comment. HA! Whether you meant it that way or not that chuckle was a great start to my Friday.
Cheers!
