Launch Android Camera in Video Mode - Android Apps and Games

Hey there,
Just wondering how to launch the Android camera in Video mode by default?
I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and will likely end up using a third-party camera app once I get it working right. With that said, I'm wondering how I can launch the camera app in video mode automatically? I have shortcuts on the homepage and would like one for the camera app and one for quick video recording.
Is there a way to do this? I hate the fact that the camera app is now one main application and that the video is not separate anymore. Is there a quick workaround to this?
Thanks,
--mike

Miui camera for spica

Can anyone help to get miui or iphone type camera for spica or other good android camera apps.
And does any camera app allow to record video from front cam

Actually the original GTR camera application allows to shot photo and record video from front cam. Just tap on top icon on the left side to set video recording mode
I don't know why you are looking for this app, but if it is for the looks of it you should try MIUI Music too. I find it so much better than our stock music player.

[Q] Rear camera only with Skype

I have a Samsung 7.7 P6800 and I use it as a video surveillance camera with Skype.
In Skype settings I set the automatic answer with video and everything works fine.
The front canera is used by default but I would like to use the rear camera only since it has a better definition.
during the video call there is an option in skype for selecting the camera but working in automatic answer mode it's useless.
I don't need the front camera and I am ready to desable it but I need to keep the rear camera working.
I didn't find any app, can somebody suggest something?
Thanks
I don't think you will find any solution for this. I know g+ you can use the rear but I don't think there is an auto answer?

It's a pity beacuse I can switch from front to rear camera during skype video calls therefore there must be a way for keeping it on rear camera only by default either Android or Skype software modification.
Any expert here who can help?

[Q] What camera app are you using on your idol3?

Google Camera? Camera Zoom FX? The default? What's working for you?
Same question here, stock camera is okay, but is there another app that will save to SD card beside stock

I use the stock app for videos, OpenCamera for stills, Freedcam for landscapes using RAW mode , and Google Camera - if I want panorama or photo-sphere.
'A Better Camera' - will save to SD card. It is pretty nice - but I uninstalled it after I realized that the free version had a limitation of number of HDRs pictures it allows.

Using stock, OpenCamera, A BetterCamera. I like OpenCamera except it doesn't yet support writing to external SD.
My main complaint with the stock camera is that it seems to only support two resolution settings (and I am guessing they are the really the same resolution, just one is cropped to make 16:9 aspect ratio). Am I missing something? Is there a way to take lower-resolution photos (e.g. for web posting or faster email upload) using the stock camera app?
I use Camera FV-5.

Does it allow saving to the external sd on lollipop? As far as I know only the stock camera allows that.
Camera FV-5 I found does not work for some reason on the Idol. I start the camera and get a black screen. I do get the settings but nothing else but a black screen. I going to contact app developer soon about it.
The best camera so far (for any device) it's procapture because: it can silent all the sounds (except those in whats app), it can put the grip on and it can capture just by touch. Besides theese, there are many-many other settings as wb, iso, hdr, light mode etc

Your phone has to support Google's Camera2 API in order for the app to even function. Right now only a few devices even support the official Google Camera2 API. The ones I know of are: Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4. Since the camera hardware is the same as my Nexus 6, I'd expect this app to just work, but Alcatel's software side probably isn't even written with Camera2 API in mind.

Any app to preview and trigger video recording on one android phone from another?

I've searched all over the place and have not been able to find a way to preview camera and then trigger video camera recording on one android device from another android device. Is there a way to do this and if not, would this be difficult to develop? Video source would be Galaxy s4, controlling device Galaxy s3.
I guess no one has any idea about this?

The native Camera app will receive MIC options on Professional Video Mode on One UI 4.1?

The native Camera app will receive MIC options on Professional Video Mode on One UI 4.1?
Why does the phone still doesn't have this feature?
I would like to record videos using the mic of my Buds Live.
Also do you recommend some third Camera app with this function?
Thank you in advance.
