I remember back in the WinMo days, there were so many options to tweak for anything, including the camera. I'm looking to do something similar on my Droid Charge.
What I would like to do is:
- Change the timer mode for a longer duration maybe 30 sec or 1-2 min
- Have a setting where I can take multiple pictures over a period of time (i.e. 1 pic every 3 sec, for 1 min)
- Change the panoramic mode so each stitched picture is 8MP (as opposed to the entire panoramic photo being 8MP)
Is there such a way to modify the camera setting? Or is there a 3rd party app that will allow this? (and also allow timestamp plus GPS tagging)? Or maybe is there a bluetooth remote button device where I can remotely activate the camera?
(I do a lot of camping and mountain climbing, and would like to take pics, but it takes longer than 10 sec to run from the camera to the desired spot. I'd also like to take action shots as I go)

I have an i760 smartphone with a cracked screen that I want to turn into a sort time-lapse camera. The idea is to get it all set up using EveryWAN, start snapping shots and just let it run until I stop it or it runs out of battery. The result should be a continuous record of whatever event I leave it running at. It would be a cool way to record parties and events like that without having to run around with a camera in your hand all night.
I searched for a program/hack to do this and came up with a few things that will be similar (tinycam on this board) but I would like to try the continuous shot thing anyway as it has its own cool factor.
What do you guys think? Is this something that can be altered within the system files or is it set in stone with the OS? Looking forward to your thoughts!
No one has any ideas? I would think this would be a fairly simple mod though I'm not sure how this stuff works.
Bump Bump Bump It up!!!
So I've done some playing around and here's what I've come up with...
If TinyCam or VIO for windows mobile had better/ongoing support and were modified to use higher camera resolutions and effects, etc. I would use one of those in an instant. The problem is they're both limited to picture resolutions of under 200x200 and have no support for low light shots.
I played with the registry keys on the i760 but can't get any changes to take effect or remain changed.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Samsung>Camera
I set,
PictureShotMode = 2 (multishot/continuous)
MultiCount = x (Works for 3,6,9 but nothing above the defaults)
This makes the camera start up in multishot mode but inputing values higher than 9 resets the shot count to the default 6 in the camera settings menu. So something is obviously handling this in a different way. Can camera.exe check these settings as it is launched and revert anything back to default that is out of its set range?
Anyone have any ideas on where I can go from here?
I've searched all day for this, but haven't found anything.
Frequently, I have the camera zoomed and tweaked the way I want, just waiting for some action shots...and two minutes later, the camera app returns to the home screen. If I'm actively using the camera it will stay on, but after two minutes of inactivity, it returns to the home screen. Then I have to re-open the camera app and reset all my settings, focus, and zoom. It's a giant pain.
Changing the Settings > Screen Timeout option doesn't do anything, as the screen isn't actually timing out - it's just closing the camera app and bringing me home.
Does anyone know of a mod, hack, or some edit I can make to increase the length of time before the camera timeout? I know extending keeping the camera active longer will put a bigger dent in my battery life, but that isn't a concern when I'm trying to take great pics.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge, rooted, stock, running Android 5.0.2
Thank you in advance

the camera is very slow to take pictures in low light conditions (e.g. an indoors party) it takes about 5 to 10 sec between pressing the button and the camera taking the picture.
I'm running android 5.1.1 that came with the phone (not rooted)
I tried changing settings and selecting a specific iso setting, white balance and macro instead of auto focus does make it quicker, about 3 seconds.
Any thoughts?
Since our phone uses the same sensor as Oneplus One shouldn't we be able to take long exposure photos? OPP handles just fine 16 or 30 seconds.
Camera App doesn't allow more than 2 secs. You can try other apps and report back the results
Anyway to take a photo with more than 10 seconds exposure? tweaking the stock camera or using other app... i tried an older version of camera fv-5 with 20 seconds long exposure but it only allows 2.1 MP (1920x1080) but the latest version limits that long exposure to only 10 seconds with full resolution (12MP - 4032x3024).
Regards!
I don´t even know how to do 10s :/

Only available in pro mode.
i would love to see if someone can port one of the LG flagship's camera app like G4, V10 or G5
Would interesst me too, would be Great to capture the night Sky! I already hat good results when stacking the Images, but more time with lower iso would be Great to have.
I tried 10 second+ exposures with my Note 7 before I sent it back. They didn't turn out great. I was camping and it was super dark.
I used a tripod and a phone mount and used a Long Exposure app from the play store to get longer than 10 seconds. And pro mode with the stock app for a 10 second exposure.
10 Seconds would be cool in a city to capture moving traffic but it's not long enough to capture the sky. Long than 10 seconds creates so much noise the photo isn't usable.

if i recall correctly, the long exposure apps from the app store lock the resolution at 1080p and so the noise may be more pronounced. It would definitely be interested in seeing an update to push pass 10 seconds for more options.
