I wonder if you are talking about Andropan...I downloaded it last night and tried it out today and did not like it at all :-(

Sent from my CDMA Hero, sucka!

yep.. thats the name of it.. i remember seeing some BS samsung or LG phone that came with this feature stock and it looked good, so its hard to believe that someone hasn't made a good working panoramic picture taking device...

Hi,
I'm the developper of Andropan.
Can you tell me what is UGLY in my application?
So I can make it better and better
Which device do you use?
Thanks for your help

The Epic's camera app has panorama built in. Im on the Evo myself but my family uses the hero. Glad I lurked on this thread, hopefully the Epic's camera app can be ported over sometime

try vignette. is the best camera.

1.Starting the application into a black screen is a bit - distasteful and not user friendly. Add the buttons that you have when pressing menu here.
2. The Plumb and Level indicators are a bit hard to get right, you should probably think about over laying a set of arrows to tell the user how they need to move to get level and plumb.
3. Typical camera uses the trackball to snap the picture instead of menu or a screen tap (at least on our heros) This would make it more fluid.
4. Not sure how you are storing/retrieving GEO information, but its wrong...at least for me it is
5. Just in my office - it seemed like one picture would have a different light saturation than another frame in the picture.
6. Your stitching of the pictures seems like it has a VERY low error tolerance, and you might try looking at other ways of matching and stitching pieces together so they are seamless.
7. After you have one panorama, instead of showing it at the beginning, have a gallery button, this way they can come into a screen of buttons and actually navigate with out having to use hard keys.
The above was meant to be constructive - please don't take offense, I think you have a good starting point with the app. If you need help with any of it let me know, I have a pretty decent Java/Android background, just no time to make my own apps.

I didn't understand the difference between the two different options for creating a panoramic pic (I don't remember what they were called, manage and auto I think)
I also didn't understand the point of levels
Also it would be nice when the stitching occurs if the app looked for overlap and then removed the overlapping parts of the pic.
Another suggestion would be that when you take a pic that is part of the panoramic shot that you leave it on screen and then overlay the camera view over it so you can better line up and tell where the next shot should be.

yeah man thats sucks the first thing i did its to see if i have the lg cam on gb but its not there

Wait, is there no camera at all or is it just that the LG camera app is not there? This may make me think twice about installing the update.

I registered just to ask this question, but do you mean that if I updated with the new Gingerbread update and did a factory reset then the LG Camera would be there?

No there is NO LG Camera app. Even after you do factory reset.

If some one would make a backup of the camera app and then post the apk that would be great

It really frosts my rear when I go to the T-mobile website and I see they are showing the new Mytouch 4g Slide with the "most advanced camera on any smartphone." And here I am with arguably the worst camera available on any smartphone (the AOSP GB camera, not the LG froyo camera).
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that they have something in the works to provide us with the proper camera some point in the not-too-far future.

Get camera 360 from the market
Sent from a guy living in a van down by the river

I am waiting for the jury on this, is there a way to keep the phone LG photo app.....or put it back....after doing the GB update.
One guy said it comes back after a hard reset after the update....but others say that is a no go.
I want to avoid buying an app for the camera function, which I will need to do if its going to be just the stock Android.
Seems LG could release an update to replace it....no?
Right now the consensus seems to be if you do the GB update you lose the LG camera app, and it does not come back by doing hard resets.
TIA

I actulice and I still see the camera application.

Yes, you lose the LG camera application; that doesn't mean that there is no camera application. It's just not the one that came stock with the phone, and it's not as nice. For example, there's no "switch camera" button -- you can only take photos and videos with the rear-facing camera, not the front-facing camera.
I'm not a very big user of the camera, so I imagine this one will probably be sufficient for my needs until the final update comes out.

I wouldn't count on LG releasing an update for that. They didn't even ever release an update to fix the small email signature bug, so I doubt they'll get around to a whole camera app.
The only good thing that comes out of this is the stock Android camera does 128K audio vs. the 64K audio of the LG camera. Oh, and we can finally keep the geolocation turned on instead of needing to manually turn it on every time. Same maximum qualities otherwise, but almost no control over anything else and the zoom is not controlled with the volume controls.

if you dont like it and if it's possible please phandroid back to what you were using before. we finally get SOMETHING, proof of LIFE on this thing so please...quit your *****ing all will be well. lg does seem to intend to right their wrong.
I will be avoiding threads with titles such as this one like the plague because although I was one to be disgruntled too over this phone I at least can recognize progress when I see it

Oops, my bad; that mountain icon in the lower left is the "switch camera" button. That graphic just didn't communicate to me at all; I assumed it was the control for "focus mode" or some such. Sorry for the noise.

anyone know how to make the gb camera screen lighter? mine is so dark. I do love the update and I have had no problems what so ever. But the dark camera screen.

See if this works, no guarantees:

Camera App with Manual Focus?

I just recently purchased some of the camera lenses from Photojojo, and they all work pretty well on my Nexus 4. I'm having some problems with focusing them well, however, especially the Macro lens. Basically, what happens is I tap on the object, and it goes through the little autofocus loop, and halfway through I see the PERFECT focus, and the it just continues and goes back to unfocused! Super frustrating, because I know that I can get the perfect picture, but I just can't get the object to come into a clear view.
So, does anyone know of an app that can do manual focus? Because I know it's not a hardware limitation that I can't get a clear picture. I can see that it gets very clear halfway through the focus loop. I just need a way to manually adjust the focus so I can KEEP that clear view.
Thanks guys!

Bump!

One more go!

It drives me crazy when it almost focuses on something and then apparently can't fully focus so it just goes back to being really unfocused. I would like to be able to take a slightly out of focus picture rather than not at all because it's too blurry to see anything

This! I hate seeing it come into focus and then go right back out! I want it to stop right in the middle!
Sent from my Paranoid Nexus 4 using Tapatalk²

Hey if it is a close up picture then find something to focus on (your hand perhaps) and move the camera until it succesfully locks on when pushed. Then (with your finger on the shutter button) move your phone to get your object in view and release shutter.
Also if the focus is a very close one you might want to just try the macro setting on the focus mode selection.
There aren't as many focuses available with manual focus as one might think.

Autofocus isn't 100% accurate. Let's just hope cyanogen adds an option for manual focus soon because this has been bothering me for a while too.

Can you take some more portrait mode picture samples? This are not very good compositions.
The Coke can does not have enough depth in the background and the wall is just plain. Try something else and line it up straight instead of top-down.
Thanks!

looks like **** still.

I snapped this one this am. Looks pretty darn good to me and it's even in a low light condition!!
Edit: for some reason the picture isn't showing up

A bush

A few more

Here's mine

Some people cannot be pleased, no matter what.
These photos are great and just fine, but if you're the sort of person hell bent of crapping on the PH-1 no matter what, then nothing from this phone's camera is going to placate you.
It's really getting boring at this time, all the hee-haw about the camera..

What does the slider on the bottom of Portrait Mode control? The bokeh/blurring effect?

from what i gathered yes but the lighting control is sort of a manual exposure control. used it with the moto x pure and it came out fantastic

To me these photos look plenty good. I am comparing them with the likes of note 7 and op3.
