Hello everyone,
GonnyCam is a burst camera app that compresses and saves frames directly to storage as it captures them, avoiding memory buffer size limits that restrict the number of shots you can take in a single burst.
I've recently updated it to support the camera2 API but I've only tested it on a Nexus 5, so any feedback from people with other devices is very welcome! To access the camera2 features (higher resolutions, basically) you need to go into the options and check "Use Android Camera2". The checkbox will only appear if you have a phone running 5.1.1+ and with the "full" camera2 API implementation.
It supports resolutions up to 1920*1080 on Kit Kat and below. Supports basic colour controls, GIF saving etc.
Search "GonnyCam" in the Google Play store if you're interested. I'd prefer to link directly to an APK but the forum software won't let me sorry.
Nice job :good:

Hi. excellent app!
Unusable on a Dji Osmo Mobile though, as you need to keep the shutter pressed continously.
Could you add an option so that the big red button starts (and then stops) recording?
Then I can stabilize my GIFs on the Osmo

Hi, thanks for trying out my app.
The behaviour you are asking for isn't supported exactly in the current version, but you can do something similar by setting up one of the volume button bindings to "Burst (start/stop)". Then you can get the functionality you want, but using the volume button instead of the big red button.

Why can't I film in portrait mode?

I'm not sure what you mean.
If you mean "why can't I take pictures in portrait orientation?", actually, you can. The app uses the accelerometer to choose the correct orientation to save the pictures in. However, on some devices (e.g. if the accelerometer isn't working properly) then it won't work.
If you mean "why don't the UI icons rotate when I hold the device in portrait orientation" it's because I haven't bothered to implement this yet because it's a low priority for me. The pictures will still come out in portrait regardless.
Yes, that works - must have been a glitch on my phones accelerometer when I tried it last night.
Excellent - thanks
Facebook didn't want to play my GIF as GIFanim - just showed the first picture.
I see online that people claim that is because the gif is not in 1:1 format (but 4:3 og 16:9)
Have you experienced this?
Is there a way to "cut down" the pictures to 1:1?

My app doesn't support cropping GIFs to 1:1 as yet but you can use online tools to do this e.g. ezgif dot com slash crop (sorry I can't post links). Or you could try and search for a GIF editing app. Kind of annoying that Facebook doesn't do it for you tbh
Hey I just got my h5 and so far loving it. Has anyone gotten the 360 cam? I'm excited to get it but have a question on it. How does the process for sharing the photos work? If I were to share it with an iOS device, do I share it like any other photo and they can see the 360 effect ?

No - sharing has been the biggest challenge with the camera. But I absolutely love the camera.
If you text it to them, or even email it, it almost always comes as a flat jpeg when opened on a mobile device or even desktop/laptop.
What I have taken to doing is to upload it to either Google Photos or Flickr, and then sharing direct links to the photos via text or email, but even then on iOS they have to tap the photo (or the 360 icon) to see it in it's full mode. It's a bit of a challenge and Android has an advantage on viewing these on mobile devices at the moment (especially if you share the link via Google Photos).
On a desktop/laptop, Google Photos or Flickr both look really nice and there is not much more work to be done by the end user. It's much more intuitive on a bigger screen.
Videos are also a challenge - you can upload them to Facebook without much issue. Youtube requires you to package them first before they can be viewed as 360.
It's definitely an early adopter problem and will probably get easier in time.
I'm still debating on getting it. I love the idea

Question about video length: I read in the manual that at highest video quality, time is limited to 20 minutes. However it also says that if it hits the maximum file size of 4 GB that it will continue recording in a new file. So is it possible to record longer than 20 minutes, and does it just break it into extra files?

That was not true of the original software, but I haven't tried if since the two updates. It was originally limited to just 20 minutes at a time, and then you had to hit record again.
But if it's in the manual that way now, I will try it again right now with the May 24th update and see what happens!
EDIT: Just to update, it did not roll into another file and continue recording. At 20 minutes (2.44 gb) it stopped recording and that was it (Software version R10510e).
OK, thanks for testing it out. Too bad, that is the one thing holding me up from buying one.
As long as there won't be a way to see pictures and videos without an online service, I won't buy it.
I haven't tried to share videos yet, but for the photos sphereshare.net is pretty cool. They have an Android app as well. I used my cam pretty heavily the first few days after I got it...Now it just sits. :-/
Video sharing remains an issue.
So far, the only way to get decent stitching is to download it from the 360cam wirelessly to the G5, then share that file.
Pulling the video off the microSD card from the 360cam, injecting the spatial metadata as instructed on this page:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6316263
and uploading those results to youtube gives really sh*tty stitching.
Has any tried taking a photo/video from two of these next to each other and putting it into a 3D 360 file for use in VR headsets? I really don't understand the point of using a VR headset with a 2D image, even if it is 360 degrees.

You don't need to bother with any of that. Just upload the video to YouTube and wait for a few minutes after the processing has finished. the 360 video works very well with YouTube with no stitching.
EDIT: I checked for another firmware update today and there was one waiting.

Hmm, the ones I uploaded without the 360 mod never got converted. And the ones that had the mod had crappy stitching.
Maybe I need to wait longer for the non-modded version to get processed?

Only if you don't edit the video in youtube editor. If you want to upload the original video, it does just fine, but cutting the time of the video down or fixing potential shaking and it won't be recognized as 360. At least in my experience.
I just started using it as a dashcam, it's pretty neat the only issue i have right now is the 20 minute limit, gotta figure out a way to have it start a new recording after the 20 minutes.

Here's an attachment picture of the auto 'stitching' boundary done by Youtube. Not good at all, compared to what you view on the phone after downloading:
Now, this was recorded without the more recent firmwares, just the one it came with.
I just upgraded the more recent 10G version, so maybe that makes a difference to youtube.

That's what I mean. The YouTube stitching is awful (using their tool).
Yes, you have to wait for quite a long time for the YouTube conversion to happen automatically after you upload the file. The longer the video, the longer the wait.
EDIT: I have noticed that the stitching is much worse in poor light conditions. Bright light, no problems.
So, still no way to selh host his videos/photos in 360. No self hostable player ?
I mean, I host all my services on personal servers at home, and don't want to be dependant of youtube/wathever to host my videos.
Questions about video :
The video resolution, is it only 2k?
Can we record 1080p? If yes, is it also limited to 20 minutes?
Thanks

Directly to what? I've been Hawaii this weekend and am giving my 360 cam a good break in... take pictures, transfer to phone, upload to Facebook flawlessly so far.
Hello,
Trying to do some research on how the Joying Intel Sofia units display the reverse camera, to see if there is a way to implement viewing at any time ( not just during reversing )
Reverse Camera works before Android has finished booting, most likely a basic Linux kernel with camera support, present in one of the SoFIA Virtual Machine partitions.
Once the Android has booted, SYU-1-C9-UIServer-V1.0 takes over, and does the rest. I believe it handles displaying the Reverse Camera video feed, as well as blocking the rest of the android UI from being accessible, and displaying the Video Adjustments overlay UI. Originally I believed that the MCU was taking over the display, but this was contracted when I enabled triple-tap zoom in accessibility settings ( using the AOSP Settings.apk ). I was able to zoom and move the screen around, definitely not the MCU locking us out and doing things on it's own. See video demo here:

If you disable SYU-1-C9-UIServer-V1.0, you will find that placing your vehicle in Reverse no longer automatically displays the Reverse Video UI, or block the Android UI. For those of you with hard buttons, some of them may be disabled while in Reverse gear ( unknown what detects this at this time ). AUX and RightCamera, as well as Sofia-1-C9-ExDvr-V1.0 will display a black video image, or have the current video input image freeze while in Reverse gear. Correct video will be restored once you are out of Reverse Gear.
I also discovered another APK, Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0. But this just seems to mirror the AUX input, without Audio. The only way I can launch the RightCamera app is using Nova Launcher's Activities Widget, selecting Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0's Main Activity. The upside to this, is unlike the AUX Sofia-1-C9-Aux-V1.0 App, Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0 doesn't pick up the audio input, so it doesn't mute all other apps while viewing the video feed. Now I can view my dash camera's live view, which I have hooked up to the AUX input at anytime, really cool! ( need this for reverse!!!! )
Also, Sofia-1-C9-ExDvr-V1.0, when run, always displays a "No video signal detected" message with the cloud background.
Perhaps we can modify Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0 to access the Reverse Camera? @gustden, @surfer63, @@AssassinsLament, or anyone else who is knowledgeable with these units and smali, could you guys take a look at UIServer and RightCamera to see if maybe this is possible? I've been looking around, but haven't found anything useful so far.
I have run apktool d on all the Allapp.pkg files, vfor the latest 03_28 firmware, available at pending link if you want to save some time and don't want to run apktool d on them yourself.
I'm also interested in this. Our previous MTCD with RK3188 was able to access the reverse camera with the Fcam app.
Nice find with the Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0 :good: Will link to this on home screen to preserve music. Thanks!
OK. Backup camera seems to show up as a rear camera to android.
Try this:
Code:
Reboot Unit.
Install Open Camera ([url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en[/url])
Once install is complete reboot unit
Launch the Open Camera app as soon as the unit is back up
stare at the live video of your rear view camera feed displayed.
Photo's don't seem to work in Open Camera. In other camera apps they turn out green. Tiny Camera shows the same green image. Camera MX takes green photos. See attached photos.
If you open the AUX or RightCamera applications, then you can not use any app to view the live feed until you reboot. For some reason they seem to lock the stream preventing other applications from accessing.
I ran across this while calling my friend on the head unit using hangouts. Normally, i do voice only call, i clicked the wrong button (video call) and there i saw my rear camera feed as I was driving. lol. Now if we could only get the aux video input as a front android camera...
I tried using open camera on my joying intel and it works but only if you haven't reversed yet. Once you go into reverse, you will not be able to access the reverse camera again until reboot

Any progress with this?
Also, has anyone found a way to show an image layout (guide lines) on top of front camera? I was trying to find an app that shows an image overlay on top of Android and I found one:
DesignOverlay but the problem is that once enabled it will show on top of all apps. I would like to find out a way to just show an image overlay on top of Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0. This way I could use my own .png file to show guide lines that match perfectly my car (.png created with real life measurements around the car).
Any ideas? Practically I would need an app that launches two apps at the same time and exits both once the app is exited.
I currently use my G6+ to do all my video recording work for my YouTube channel. I fell in love with the snap movie mode in the video camera options because it let me record snippets throughout the day and save them all into a short video file so later I can edit on my computer. I have searched and searched and cannot find an app in the play store that can do this. Almost all video apps can record and pause but the moment you close the app or go to home screen or screen off, the current video is automatically saved as a video file and next time you use the app it starts a new video. I don't want 70 different video clips to edit each day, I want an app that can start and stop at the press of a button and keep those recordings in the same video timeline until I am finished to where I can then save as a final video. I really would like to upgrade to the G7 or V35 but from what I understand the snap movie feature was removed.
My reason for using LG phones is the wide angle camera and Snap Movie.
Is it possible to get this feature back with a newer device? Anyone know of an app that can do what I am asking?
Thanks again for the help!
The gallery's auto-playing of the motion picture is driving me nuts as I flip through pictures after a shoot. I'm trying to hone into the details of the final shot to determine which one's I want to post process and publish but I have to wait for the motion to stop. The only work around I've found is to go out of the picture back to the gallery, and dive back into the next picture, and it doesn't auto-play on the first selection. I've looked in the play store for alternative galleries and gave up after testing a few.
I came from the Note 10+ and motion picture didn't play automatically in the gallery. I've started only turning on motion picture for times where I think I need extra frames, but I've already found myself missing some opportunities when I didn't think to turn it on.
Thanks in advance!

There's no option to disable that unfortunately.. It's a feature built directly into the app..

I was also wondering this. It wasn't like this on previous devices, you had to press the Motion Photo button for it to move, not just move by default. So now when I want to show someone a photo it first plays a short video clip instead, makes no sense.
We can disable the auto play.. Check this :

There is way. You need to enable Gallery Labs.
