[Q] Fastest starting camera app? - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, I installed Jellybean on my IncS, thanks to nikhil007mmus.
Camera app sometimes doesn't work and front camera doesn't work, I was wondering what is the recommended camera app that starts the fastest when you open it (for impromptu shots)?
Don't need many features, just video, front/back camera switch, different lighting conditions, and that's about it, but mostly importantly it has to start really fast.

What is the Best Camera App?

Like the title insists, what is the best camera application? ie, good focus, decent zoom, silent, many effects...
Snap Photo Pro, but not yet available for the N1.
I really like Camera Zoom FX. Recently updated for N1. Lots of effects, shutter sound can be disabled, easy to use, and add-on packages are all free.
Camera Zoom FX is the king right now for the Nexus One, since it is the only big name camera app out for the Nexus One right now. A memember in another thread said Snap Photo Pro wouldn't be coming to the Nexus One according to an email response he got back from the dev. of Snap Photo Pro. Something about being rather pissed google isn't sticking to their word on Android OS's being universal, including hardware to an extent(ie, you make a camera app for 2.0 it will work on any 2.0 phone, this it seems is not true).
+1 for Camera ZOOM Fx - had this for ever and it keeps getting better!
Does Camera zoom FX allow you to focus first, then snap? It kind of annoys me the way the standard camera waits for focus before snapping.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you hold the camera button on the screen of the built-in camera app, it will focus first and then take the shot after you let go.
it's great

[Q] Lenses for Video Camera

The Nokia Lumia 1020 has an amazing camera. For years I had Android phones and had a few favorite camera apps I used. The 1020 uses a different system, "lenses", but really it's the same idea I think. To get an effect like pencil sketch, you need to first download a new "lense" app. My problem is that the lense effects ONLY work on the camera and not the video camera. Does anyone know of a lense effect app that works on the video camera? Or one that works in the ultra high resolution mode? Thus far only the Nokia app works in high res mode, and I have found no effects for the video camera mode which leaves me still occasionally using my Android phone. Any ideas?

[Q] Laser Assisted Camera Focus Feature - Only With Stock Camera App?

Can anyone tell if the laser assisted focus feature is only available in the camera app that comes with the LG ROM? I installed some other camera apps, like Google Camera and Camera Zoom FX. I noticed that the LG camera could zoom in quite well on closer things with greater clarity, but some of the other apps seemed to focus faster, especially things that were a bit further away. I was only using the preview view, but this laser focus feature is a first for me, and I'd like to understand it better before I start looking at other camera apps or even other ROMs that may not have built in support for the hardware.
Laser auto focus works on all 3rd party camera apps I've tried. I tried out numerous aosp roms and even miui and laser auto focus works each time.
The laser support is found in the kernel, not the camera app. This means that a camera app simply asks the phone to focus and its the kernel tells the laser to focus.
Therefore if laser focusing works on the stock app (meaning it is supported in the kernel), then it will automatically work for any other third party camera app. If you are using a custom ROM/kernel that hasn't been tweaked to support the laser focus (most of them have already been tweaked to work with the laser however), then it won't work for any camera app including the stock app.

ZTE Axon 7 Camera Port Working on Mini

Check it out - I am running custom rom and it works great
Flash in recovery
settings options, changing the resolution, changing volume key functionalities, adding watermarks
panorama, super night, multi-exposure, magic exposure, time-lapse, and slow motion videos.
Thanks for providing this port! Do you compare the performance to other camera apps? Is the ZTE app faster? Does the app start every time if the device is locked and the power button is double-touched? The OpenCamera app does start half of the times and the other half the lockscreen is shown!
I have found that there is no perfect camera for this phone my main camera is snap camera which I find very reliable with many options however the axon 7 Port does not work reliably ( pure grey photos ) unless you pick the manual option when you open it if you do this it works perfectly and there are many more controls the macro close up photos are amazing with this Port and it has many interesting features

iso a motion trigger for stock cam

Hey fellow androids,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to start a video recording triggered by motion in the stock app of a phone. Specifically, in my case a Samsung S9+ with the zero cam modded stock camera app.
While searching, I came across all kinds of apps that can start a motion triggered recording, but they start a recording in their own app, which of course has lower quality than the modded stock app. (If anyone can point to an app which allows to disable denoising and sharpening as well as higher bitrates and has motion trigger, that would be great as well)
Would be grateful for any suggestions
