hello.
Does anyone know if it is possible through registry to change some of the camera parameters like automatic exposure compensation? The thing is that the polaris camera isn't the best i've seen, It gets to 19fps maximum when shooting with day light but as soon as you darken a bit it will reduce to 2.43fps (!). I wonder if there is a way of choosing a fixed exposure setting. Also, a pause option on the video camera would be interesting too for some stop motion stuff. (not trying to get it through registry ehehe). I'm using Bepe's latest ROM 0.67 Premium.
Cheers!
btw, polaris is wonderful
I am interested in that.. even if there is not a tweak, isn't there a 3rd party app that can do the job?
Try tweaking the "Camera" section in the registry.
Use "SmartReg" and when "Camera" has found in your registry, bookmark the section in SmartReg's Favorites for future experiments/comparing with quick access to camera parameters.

Quick and dirty. Just does the Droid Sans font, but user configurable shutter period, camera timer, text to show and color.
Just like Penki, works best when the shutter is open for 15-30 seconds, at f/8 and larger apertures.
The capability is there for rendering bitmaps, but it's locked right now because I haven't worked out the kinks yet.
Take a few photos and post back... let me know if it works well!

Here's one I took...
Looks pretty OK to me.
done really well thanks!
there are only some very minor issues
1. Usability... when getting my phone and camera ready I accidentally touched the text button instead of the go button. I would suggest having a main page with a big go button and the settings available through the menu button.
2. A tutorial in the beginning would be nice. I was confused at first because I was unsure of how to hold my phone. Users might not know what you mean by pass distance.
3. Although the tip at the end is useful, perhaps you could have a checkbox so you could "never see this tip again "
4. Good luck. Marvellous effort I must say

EDIT : the L's seem to be a bit wide although it may be the way im holding it...
EDIT2 : colour picker!!!
Thanks!
Will definitely consider using the context menu rather than the pref screen. The pref screen was so much easier to code, however, so the menu/go button will take a bit.
As for the tutorial, I'm way ahead of you - an XDA friend is looking into the tutorial for me right now, and depending on what he finds, we might be able to squeeze a tutorial in (even though that would easily double the size of the apk!)
The checkbox/color picker suggestions are definitely noted... these should be low-hanging fruit. (I'm thinking of kanging CyanogenMod code for the latter)
I actually read about Dentsu London's project on Giz before I saw your post, so I jumped on the chance to bring Android to parity with iOS. Thanks for inspiring the app, Shokwaav!

Gosh... I haven't even downloaded this ROM... but I know it is the best of the best. Nothing can compare. I just wanted to have a post full of drivel and having no good input at all. It made me feel sooooo cool and all.
BTW, get 4G fixed, the camera fixed, the dial tone fixed, it isn't washing my dished completely, there isn't any ringtone that I like, it is STILL using some of my damn battery! ( I expect that you can make it charge itself ) and just generally isn't PERFECT. But it is a great ROM ( I guess )
Boy, I do feel better now that I have made this BS post and all. Just wish that I could have done it on the first page and really reveled in the awesome coolness of being there. * sigh *
See ya'

Open Camera is an Open Source camera app for Android that I've been working on.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
Or install APK directly from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencamera/files/
Open Camera is also available on F-Droid.
Homepage: http://opencamera.org.uk/
Code: https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/code/
Features include:
- Option to auto-level using accelerometer so pictures are perfectly level.
- All the usual options like zoom, flash, focus modes (including a "manual" mode to only focus on touch), focus/metering areas, exposure lock, scene modes, color effects, white balance, ISO, exposure compensation, video recording.
- Options for timer and auto-repeated photo taking.
- Configurable volume keys (take picture, zoom, or change exposure compensation).
- Optional geotagging, including compass direction (GPSImgDirection, GPSImgDirectionRef).
- Option to optimise UI for left and right-handed users.
v1.47.3:
Auto-level feature (from v1.48):
I want to make Open Camera better, so bug reports and feature suggestions are most welcome (either email mark dot harman dot apps at gmail dot com, PM, at https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/discussion/ , or leaving a comment here).
Also a request for help: one of the challenges I've had is the wide variety of different cameras or camera drivers on different devices, and sometimes bugs happen that I can't reproduce on my devices. In particular I've had various reports of problems on Cyanogenmod. If any Android developers out there are willing to help out with investigating issues on any devices/platforms you encounter problems with, this will help Open Camera become a better camera app and I would greatly appreciate it Or simply sending me a logcat may help.
I have tried this before. It's an excellent app that takes great pictures.
I'm already using snap camera so have no need for it, but it is better than pretty much all the other apps in terms of picture quality except for a couple.
Im not too big on comparing the quality of vids and pics between camera apps, to my experience its usually around the same. However, what matters is functionality and I must say this app is really nice. Buttons with quick access to the functions, etc. Especially "exposure lock" i like!
However, it seriously falls behind on the visual part. I know that in a sense it doesn't matter but it's always a nice way to finish off a good app.
May I suggest something in style with the Samsung S5 camera app? (http://i.imgur.com/iy5w369.jpg)
Functions on the left side for easy access with left hand and then shutter button + video/photo mode button on the right.
Another little thing, how about a seperate shortcut for videomode ?
I'd suggest a feature that I only saw in snap camera and Moto X camera.
the touch to capture.
instead of only focusing on touch, focus and take the picture
Thanks for the comments, some great suggestions.
* I like the icons being along the top myself, but I'll add an option to have them go down the side for people who prefer that.
* An option for touch to capture sounds a good idea too.

Can I clarify what you mean by this - there's an icon to switch between photo and video, or do you mean to change video resolution? Or something else?

Yeah, sorry, I was being unclear. I just mean in the launcher. A camera shortcut and a video shortcut.

That makes sense - have added it to the TODO.
Hi,
I just installing your camera and my first impression is :good:. It can detect wide resolution for my camera (16:9) where other competitor can't . For now I found bug related to save folder location, each time I open this setting app always tell path not found until I take one photo. Maybe because folder don't exists then app throw an error.
Anyway I didn't explore much this app but here some suggestion:
quick button to change resolution settings
quick button to change camera mode
Maybe HDR mode either software or hardware
Other suggestion will be added later :good:

Oops yes, that's a bug in the new file chooser, I'll get a fix out for that.
I want to have more accessibility to other options, though need to think about how to do this (more icons means more clutter / running out of space) - possibly having a fully customised GUI, or a swipe down for more options, or other ideas are welcome.
Hardware HDR should be supported if it's offered as a scene mode by the device; doing it in software is something I may do in future.

I vote for swipe gesture to open more options. We can have 4 directions for swiping
Thanks for pointing out HDR mode in scene settings
Half-press to focus of the hardware button continuously triggers focus, which doesn't steadily lock.
Xperia S with 4.4 aosp.
very nice app.ty for alternate download link from playstore.(we dont all use gapps).
peace
err on the side of kindness
Really loving all the app so far, here's a few ideas/suggestions
Double tap anywhere/press and hold to auto focus + take picture (this is by far the feature i miss the most from my windows phone life, maybe im not the only one)
Option to mute annoying sounds
more and more obvious GUI feedback (like for when switching from picture<>video)
circle inside the glass square doesn't look that well imhO the start recording/take picture should lose that visible square
angle line looks like an odd part of 3x3 grid (maybe its supose to be like that? i dunno, i know zero of pro-photo taking)
as a side note, at least on my device, the zoom scale looks inverted (at 0x bar it's blue, at 4x it's invisible)
i must say i really really love the option to controle the exposure from the volume menu, great idea
great work!

Hello, been using this for a few months, its one of the better camera apps, but could do with a few improvements (sorry to sound negative, I do like it!)
I d like:
An ISO shortcut, or option to add it, so you dont have to delve into the menus
Touch to focus and take a picture all in one, like Snap camera (already been suggested twice, so this seems the most popular request so far !)
Option to remove zoom slider - hardly any phone camera has optical zoom and digital zoom is 100% useless so I dont want it cluttering up the screen.
On my find 5 the camera button (the one you hit to take a shot) is surrounded by a square and it looks awful, so an option to change the style of this button would be nice (circle, square, pic of a camera, red, blue, white etc. I notice the screen shot in the first post there is no square though ?
How about a maximum no of icons you can have on the screen based on the size of the device, then user can choose what icons to have up to the maximum that can fit, so the amount of clutter is down to the user and the number of icons down to whats physically possible ?
I do like this app, but it is slow to take pictures, especially when stabilised, Snap camera isnt this slow whether youre using the stabilise feature or not, would be nice if it was quicker.
Was using the app with CM and did have some problems, using OmniROM now and dont seem to have them. Used to use Snap mostly, but that seems to have bugs on both CM and Omni, would like to remove it and 100% replace it with this.
A question about the "auto-stabilise."
Stabilization (as in Optical Image Stabilization, or OIS) generally refers to a camera shake reducing feature. Is that what this does? Your description sounds more like auto-leveling than the traditional meaning of stabilization.
I honestly have only one issue with this camera, it's damn ugly. Other than that it works beautifully on my S3 running CM11. You are using standard controls, so themes kinda mess with your work. I would suggest spending some time on a look and feel that would make your app look more modern.
What about porting it for gingerbread? (2.3+)
I really like this! I have an older armv6 version of focal but UI is very difficult to navigate. This one fills the bill.
UI suggestions:
*Universal choice of <-|+> or slider. Really do not need both visible. Do not take space for both or unselected alternative. It is those sliders that make the iPhone camera a joy to use.
*Place all those potentially per-picture options up front rather than in properties (or set their defaults in properties): ASA, white-balance, color-effect, et al. Done this way on focal and cm11s camera.
*Focus region is settable on cm11s camera (in properties but would rather see up front as well).
*Option for powerbutton capture (focus and shoot).
*Option for normal camera-icon capture (focus and shoot). Previously requested here. I am kind of confused as to what is going on right now and can be surprised to see "taking picture."
*Generally, unclutter everything which is going on the screen on top of the view. Do not need all those numbers and boxes except where directly functional such as focus region.
Might be interesting and make for quicker shoots: continuous auto focus--more likely picture is ready when I press the button. I do not think anybody is doing this at present (but nobody else is fudging angles and such either!).
Thanks for this great job, could you include the exposure time regulation? ideally to photograph lightnings.
Best regards

Cool app from what I've seen in two minutes of tinkering or so.
I was wondering if it'd be possible to set 60 and 50 Hz anti-flickering from the app? I'm travelling in a 50Hz power region and some museum lighting gave me weird banding effects that I suspect was caused by this.
In my experience the default gcam struggles with landscape photos making the grass look very strange when used on a large screen as a desktop wallpaper. I also find the zoomed in detail pretty poor on the newest update compared to when I first bought the 6a.
I found this gcam mod from MWP called "Gcam_8.4.300_beta6" that seems to fix both of those problems. The only bug I found with it is sometimes the image looks very blue or very orange, but this goes away after restarting the app.
The only settings that I changed from default were in Settings -> Advanced -> Super res zoom (ON) and also Settings -> Advanced -> Lib-patcher -> Custom Libs (MWP-NoiC).
I find that Custom Libs setting to have the best detail from my limited testing side by side but it does make the photo slightly less vibrant than the default google camera app.

I also tried the new beta7 but it crash looped for me so I went back to the beta6.
