[Q] Nexus S: Best Camera App? Contrast control - General Questions and Answers

Hi All!
I used to be a Nokia user and I had 5530 Xpress Music (actually I still have) and I'm trying to find a camera app that will be at least close to the one Nokia has but I cannot find it.
The latest I have is Camera 360 V2.4.1 but it says that my phone does not support the adjustment of contrast, brightness and other things except of Fill-In light.
Is this really a Nexus S problem or this app is not fully compatible with it? Does anyone have a suggestion on what app to use that has these features?
Much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Okis

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I have not tried that yet, will download when come home.
What about a possibility to change image size? High resolution images?

Camera Blur Gone - Simple Fix

By simply changing the brightness level to -2.0 you will no longer have a blur - it's like changing the ISO on a camera and the FPS will jump by over 50%. check it out in full here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/decrease-the-blur-of-your-camera-really/
Very noice...I'm flashing a new rom and will try these when setup. Thanks

Agreed- It''s so freaking obvious once you think about it A simple change and suddenly the camera is functional...I'm just happy I can take photos of my son without that streak of his arm moving...
Man this camera and video camera is so much better now. It's pretty sad to say that this is getting almost as good of quality as my new Nikon Coolpix S550
perfect, just perfect
Thank you.

try to enable the frame rate (it's in the registry and detailed on the fuzemobility link in the first post) and tell me if you see a change in frame rate if you don't mind. It should be most significant in dim settings - bright light shouldn't have a blur without tweaks...
Thank you! This should be made sticky!

[Q] Any really decent non-Sense camera app out there?

While I love CM7 or many other stock android based roms out there, two things on stock android that keeps me going back to Sense-based rom. Rubbish camera app, and so so dialer/contact app.
So this week I have discovered "Go Contact", which is a really decent dialer+contact app that can make me forget about the Sense dialer/contact. But what about camera app?
Stock Android camera app really sucks. Ugly UI with extremely limited control settings, I'm not talking about "vintage looking" filters and all those stuff, but things like ISO settings. As much as I hate Blur or TouchWiz, but almost every phone that I have tried with custom manufacturer UI has camera app that is much better than stock Android's one.
I see that some people have extracted the camera app from Sony Ericsson phones and it seems like it can be installed and used on stock Android framework. I haven't tried that though. My question is, is there any decent camera app on the Market that is comparable to Sense's camera app? That is non-proprietary and not made by manufacturer like Samsung/HTC/Motorola/LG/Sony?
There's a market app called lgcamera that has been recommended to me. Going to try it out today. It also has a camcorder that supports higher bitrate video and in mp4 format instead of 3gp.
Thanks, just tried it out. The UI is a bit rough and needs some work, but it does seem promising. I'll try to do some serious testing with it tomorrow. BTW, does it have anything to do with LG?
No idea, maybe it's based on an lg camera or something..

Camera360 Ultimate has been my standby on my Desire running CM7. i threw it on my Sensation (running Leedroid) and for some reason, it doesn't go full screen. hopefully when i get CM7 on it, this will be fixed up...
Camera 360 works fullscreen. You will just have to change the picture resolution. It's a great replacement for the sense camera.

You might check out Vignette it is a paid app but has fantastic reviews. I use it and love it.
Vignette, or FxCamera for that matter, is definitely NOT the type of camera application that I'm looking for. I'm looking for camera apps that give various camera controls like ISO, white balance, exposure, contrast, sharpness, and preferably compression ratio. It would be great if there were apps that provides shutter speed and aperture settings, but I suppose these two settings are harder to implement die to hardware differences.
So far lgCamera seems to be the most promising... Camera 360 has much better UI, but does not offer as many camera controls as lgCamera.

But with Camer 360 Ultimate this will not work. I changed the resolution and nothing happened. It was still not fitting the screen (no fullscreen).

Are you using a downloaded apk? If so then turn compatibility off within spare parts, reboot your phone and try the app again.
The thing i'm looking for is a camera with manual focus not the ****ty touch to focus crap which htc seem to deem acceptable or for that matter, 360, zoom, vignette or any of the others i've tried, no camera seems to offer manual zoom, like a slider or a dial.
Pretty bad when you want to take a pic up close, using macro doesn't always work.

I tried to do so, changed resolution to 3264x2448, restarted app, but can't get it to work full screen :/
Same problem here with my Sensation.
With the new roms based on ICS seems that the problem is solved (Camera360 runs full screen).
Two months ago, or more, I sent an email to the developers but they have not done anything.
I'm testing CameraPro that has enough advanced options.
Use MIUI rom... it has a decent camera. Here are a few pics taken with it... the one pic is the same but in night and day.

SONY Xperia L Camera Quality

Is it a software or hardware thing? I mean the noise and shutter delay and video/picture quality. Do you think it can fix via software update in the future? Or we should accept rightnow that the sony advertisment of XL is not true.
I also compared the front facing camera of samsung galaxy s3 mini and Xperia L. The s3 mini has better quality when it comes to low light.
It's a software thing. Many people said that there is a diffrence between quality of photos on dirrent software update's. Defently Sony will fix it.
Ahh thanks for answering. I will keeo my xl for now and wait for the upcoming updates
I am at 1.36 and quality is way better but video recording will go lag on low light
Before, i tried to use the LG camera for video recording. Try it. It has a better setting than the stock

Yup I tried different 3rd party camera apps but they all lag on low light. on .17 this is fixed
Ahh. I will wait for the new update. I hope this camera problem in .17 will be fix. Do you still using .36 fw now?
Is there any app that will correct the noisy images of Xperia L?
My phones has the latest official update but photos are still grainy
Use snap cam. It's much better than the stock one. Just change some settings manually and you're good to go. Also the autofocus work well.
Hit thanks if it helped
Is there any port of Sony smart social camera working on XL? I've tried some, but none work.

Could you write down which settings you would need to change ? Does the focus work well on CM11 ? Thanks.

I haven't used cm11 so can't tell. Stock works good for me.
Try adjusting the white balance for different lighting situations. Use ISO 100 or 200 if you are clicking outside with enough lighting.
Also you can try using different saturation and contrast levels till you get a perfect picture. I can't tell you the exact values since these vary with lighting.
All the best
Hit thanks if it helped.

Even I tried some but they didn't work for me either. Their working depends on the framework itself and thus they don't work with other devices most of the time.

if someone port sony camera framework to cm it will possible work perfectly

Snap Camera

Try using Pro Capture, in time I've seen Camera 360 take better shots, but I hate it burst the flash even when I'm not taking pictures.

This, good app
I use Google camera with touch focus and hdr+, and I have not yet encountered an app that matches its IQ, especially in dimmer light. I have tried many many

Using Camera Zoom Fx...... seems good.
Stock seems fine to me, used ProCapture before.
Stock just keeps getting better for me.

+1 to snap, simple and lovely app..
Really the only thing I'd like is a burst mode. I like that when taking pics of the kids playing. Otherwise I used very few features of my old sammy cameras so the stock app is fine for me. I don't suppose there's any way to add a burst mode to it - any mods or anything?

Same here. I've purchased quite a few and none beat this combo for IQ. We really are at the mercy of the hardware.
Just got Lollipop, retried FV5, and definitely love its manual iso and exposure time control, as well as raw dng support. Processing the dng files with PS express, I get great results in low light, noticeably better than stock hdr+. You can browse thru the dngs with slingshot and share/ send them to PS express
Camera FV-5 only support PNG (for now), not DNG.
I hace FV5 v2.23, not sure whether it is beta still, but it does support everything I said in full resolution on lollipop nexus5.

I turned on manual focus via google camera and all has been good for me. Stock 5.0.

[Q] Camera app alternatives?

Hello everyone!
My question is rather simple, which applications do you use as an alternative to the stock camera app?
I would like to hear opinions of people who have tried more of them and decided in the end for something else than stock.
Maybe also list pros and cons for each.
Thank you very much for your help!

We use stock, so...why do you what to change it anyway?
It' s very good.
Thank you for your reply. Personally, for me it's the interface where I need to go into Settings for any adjustment. Moreover, HDR is limited only to 8MP. And more choice when it comes to scene modes would be nice.

In PlayStore you'll find some alternatives.
Some are paid apps, but just read the Description and the Reviews, to make up your mind.

Thank you for trying to help, however what I'm interested in are experiences of people with different apps. For example, I was recommended Manual Camera app which turned out to be quite useless without the new API being supported by this phone.
I use Camera FV-5 and like it best...tried some others (stock, a better camera, google camera) and for editing i like pics art...

I search for another camera app too. The stock camera app doesn't include effect for high res photo (8MP or more). Also, it doesn't produce vivid color like Samsung/LG G3 stock camera app. Up until now, i use Camera360 in its easy mode.
Very usefull, and i think its better in some aspect (like saturation and effect).
But i'm still looking for the best app.
Try Snap cam. I use it all the time. It takes great shots
