QuickSnap -best camera app on my opinion - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hi guys
I've been using this since being on Froyo and now on ICS MIUI.
Why is it so good? Simple :
Plain, camera only app (no camcorder, no effects), set to infinite focus it's the fastest, yet reasonable result camera. Only by using it can I catch my son running around.

excellent contribution by friend

Feel like bumping this

I tested this and didn't find it to be any faster than stock ICS camera.

if you set focus to infinity it is the fastest i've witnessed, plus it's small size.

High Dynamic Range Camera App for Android?

Anyone know of an Android camera app which does something like the iPhone 4 High Dynamic Range (basically take 3 shots at different exposure setting and blend them to achieve better dynamic range)?
Having a 16x9 option would be great, too.
Just a bump about High Dynamic Range camera apps.
It seems like it's a great feature and it should make high contrast photos usable.
Anything available, or is someone working on such an app?
For those who don't know what I am talking about, see this (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/09/hdr-photography-with-iphone-4-and-ios-41.ars)
Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed during the recent Apple media event that iOS 4.1 would add a new feature to the iPhone 4: high dynamic range photography. The technique has been widely used to create often dramatic images of landscapes, scenery, and still lifes using digital cameras. In fact, several apps already exist for doing HDR photography with an iPhone.

to elaborate, camera360 has a faux hdr effect that works okay. I recommend its tilt-shift feature, it looks more similar to hdr and can give a cool effect if done correctly.

Thanks. I just purchased the ultimate version. The HDR effect is O.K., but from the limited testing it doesn't seem quite as good as the iPhone 4's version.
So there is no non-faux HDR app for Android?
I'll play with the tilt-shift feature (I don't even know what it is, but will find out
The iPhone camera has more control over shutter speed. I don't believe that the standard camera API hooks allow for the fine-grain control over shutter speed that you would need to produce proper HDR tone-mapped images.
Ahhh, HDR... love it or hate it
It's a nice technique when used well but most of the time it looks really bad... like a bad acid trip.

Optimus 3D ROM Wishlist

This is assuming that devs even care about the Optimus (or Thrill as it will be called in my possession). I thought I would create a small list of ROMs that I would like to see. Take note that 3D isn't the primary goal of the phone, but if I have it I want to be able to use it! I will take 3D into account in the list.
1. Vanilla Froyo/Gingerbread that is hybrid of vanilla with the custom 3D menu and features.
2. Sense 3.0 (if not 3.0 at least the lockscreen) with either the LG custom 3D features or those pulled from the Evo 3D.
3. CyanogenMod 7.1 of course. I'm not sure about how 3D will fit in here.
4. Ice Cream Sandwich. I need!
cm7 with all 3d added ploz.
uhm... tge devs will do what they'll do.
for sense or vanilla you'll have to w8 a looooong time. hardly anybody whants sense ported because all the sensefeatures are also in the marked (all free and most of the time better) so pls stop writing wishlists or asking questions like "will there be a sense port?"

Agree. Sense port for lg just does not make sense. I would rather have other features added to custom roms or performance tweaks.

jea but it's spamming and useless....
a wish list doesn't hurt actually. just a bit strange when asking for a port of the whole sense launcher instead of individual features to be implemented to optimus ui.
the new ui 2.0 on o3d is actually quite good.
For me, i would wish the following things to be added to the rom:
- more control or user defined actions that can be done via gesture ui
- more lock types instead of just the basic ones. I think both HTC and samsung ones are nice to have.
- a better handwriting ime. HTC ones really shines on this part. I have installed ports of htc ime (chinese) one on my O3D. I wish LG qould have their own. but i doubt it
- put back the FM. thou it is said that it'll be back in next rom. I still keep finger crossed.
- setting for choosing connection method when usb is connected. i like SGS's original setting menu where you can choose to connect as mass storage, klies, just charge phone or manual choose when usb attached. I really have to go through a bit of guessing before i can find out how to connect pc suite.
Guess will come up with more things to add later..
Is the 3D feature of the Evo for Portrait mode or more like the Optimus in the landscape mode. If the evo is in portrait the Sense won't even work in the Optimus 3D. Cooler would be if we start a project with some devs to build a real 3D launcher..... lets say i'm in ;-)

Or is there a way to combine the power of two cameras to make one stunning 2d picture?
5MP+5MP = 10MP

As I understand it the EVO 3D doesn't have a 3D UI at all. Its one of the big things that made the LG seem more 3D oriented whereas the EVO more like throwing 3D on as an afterthought.
They both of course show 3D ONLY in landscape as there would be no point of having it only work in portrait (and it can only be one or the other) as you wouldn't be wanting to watch videos like that and you couldn't shoot videos or photos portrait, because the cameras are laid out in landscape.
Although personally, I couldn't care less about a 3D UI as it just slows down getting to the important stuff like launching games and movie.

It would have to take a decent picture at 5MP before that is even remotely plausible.
I don't know why we couldn't make it take 3D pictures at 10MP and then use it's converter to turn then into awesome 2D stills. Probably harder than I think.

How? The 2 camera's have different angles. I don't think it is possible.
However the omap 4430 is capable of making two 5MP videoshots. Don't no why
LG have restricted to 3 MP in 3D. Maybe someone can look into that.
well a 10mp foot is hard to program but possible. i've read about a special chip with is separated into 12 1mp chips. so its possible to merge but hard for a dev to program it alone...
the unlock of 5mp 3d videos should be possible.

Well the cameras are actually not have different angles. To put it simple, both are taking picture just like one is our left and one is right eyes. The result 3D photo is the overlapped area of these 2 photos with certain offset.
So in theory, you won't get a full "10mp" 2D photo, but rather may be a useful ~60mp photo for 2D. If dev can stitch the photos this way, may be can work on a panaroma mode for the cameras. This will need to wait for a while thou. Guess at this stage it is still too early for it

Imagine both cameras are pointing the same direction and taking same picture but with slight offset then joining both the picture to make one supper fine picture.
Normal photo would be either the camera A or camera B like so
example AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA or
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
But with both cameras working together it would be
ABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABA
But that's just a theory it's up to devs, and this is a wish thread after all.
There is a lot of misuderstanding here it seems as to how the 3d system works. Overlapping two of the images does not result in one larger image the two image arent even close to the same and wont allow you to add more information to create a larger image.
the ababababababa description is exactly how the parallax barrier creates a 3d image for our eyes on screen so that doesnt help either.

They are both 5 MP. So they will take the same matter of detail. Why do you think
2*5MP will have better quality/detail?
Just like saying combining 4 dvd's will have the same result as 1 bluray
Just like the saying two eyes are better than one, surely two lenses would be capturing more detail than one even if they are both 5MP. Then there is matter of two lenses that are not capturing the same pixels.

CM7-SelfKANG1 for Optimus3D

Hey Guys, CM7 Alpha ist ready to downlod

Running awesome on my Thrill! Thanx dev
So. Awesome.
Can't wait to check this out, it would be on my phone right now if the 3d camera worked (I like taking 3d pictures too much, LOL).
Soon as thats working its on. I'm so bored of the stock ROM, this is just in time! Pretty soon lg can keep its boring gingerbread update for all I care arcee!
Sent from my LG-P925g using XDA App
hey can someone tell me how is the performance compared to stock rom and how is the battery? i see that 3d photos are not working what about 3d games and videos?
Hmm the Performance feels like waterbear ROM. Quatrant score (2300) are the same on my device.

What is the speed in normal use, games?? Better than stock??
First time i open menu or an app, is 1-4 sec. a little bit laggy but than its faster than stock.

First feedback
Hi all,
This is my feedback after 3 hours test:
Globaly :
This rom is very fast, just change the default launcher by launcher pro or Go launcher. Everything work for daily usage.
3D:
You will have, after the installation 2 camera software (gingerbread stock) with exactly same name?. One is for video and other is for photo. camera quality is very poor, video and photo appear with green mask..
3D recording, photo and video, don't work for me.
No 3D games
No 3D gallery and other 3D LG stuff
you can play previously 3D video recorded with O3D with good quality but no 3D movies appear sidebyside and no way to change 3D format.
3D photo appear sidebyside.
Bluetooth :
A2DP don't work fine with my car, I can pair devise and play music but DSP application will crash and music stop playing sometime (and replay by self)
++
What the ****??
Moderators, please delete this thread. I'll open a proper one as soon as this goes away, it's a no-attribution copy of a post I made elsewhere.
pls delete this thread so arcee can create one and then i can ask a question
Ive doesnt use my O3D since 1 month, cause i only waited for custom Roms. Just got tired of stock Rom. I cant wait to come Home and test it. ;-)
Sorry for my bad english...

Camer and 3d games working? Is this better than ice ds?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
Camera and 3D games do work. It's slightly slow as compared to Fallout, since the One S has 1 GB RAM and we only have 768 MB. Killing apps via task manager solves the occasional lags. It uses the stock kernel 3.0 I recommend you switch to it as soon as you have time, it'll keep me off JB for a while
Just put it on the Mrs phone it seems to run well so far, the occasional slowdown but nothing to be too concerned about.
Camera and WiFi hotspots are the deal breaker for me.......
In all the Roms I tried the indoor photos doesn't come upto the actual 5Mp quality........ I mean with xperia x10 mini...... I got better pics ..... Don't kno y it show this much difference....... N many of ma friends mostly need my data to be shared......
How is the camera clarity of this Rom.....?? Does it come upto the stock one????

Are there any screen? I already have the Virtuous Saga V.1.0 Rom and I wonder how it looks like with Sense 4... Also because I've tried a couple of Sense 4.0 roms and I didn't like the appearance so much...

I just bought the new Samsung player 4.0 us version asks I am extremely happy with it although I notice that the default camera app had an extremely slow shutter speed. Is there a tweak that would make it faster? Thanks!
