I wonder if you are talking about Andropan...I downloaded it last night and tried it out today and did not like it at all :-(

Yeah, I also tried andropan once, man, it was UGLY.
Sent from my CDMA Hero, sucka!

yep.. thats the name of it.. i remember seeing some BS samsung or LG phone that came with this feature stock and it looked good, so its hard to believe that someone hasn't made a good working panoramic picture taking device...

Hi,
I'm the developper of Andropan.
Can you tell me what is UGLY in my application?
So I can make it better and better
Which device do you use?
Thanks for your help

The Epic's camera app has panorama built in. Im on the Evo myself but my family uses the hero. Glad I lurked on this thread, hopefully the Epic's camera app can be ported over sometime

try vignette. is the best camera.

1.Starting the application into a black screen is a bit - distasteful and not user friendly. Add the buttons that you have when pressing menu here.
2. The Plumb and Level indicators are a bit hard to get right, you should probably think about over laying a set of arrows to tell the user how they need to move to get level and plumb.
3. Typical camera uses the trackball to snap the picture instead of menu or a screen tap (at least on our heros) This would make it more fluid.
4. Not sure how you are storing/retrieving GEO information, but its wrong...at least for me it is
5. Just in my office - it seemed like one picture would have a different light saturation than another frame in the picture.
6. Your stitching of the pictures seems like it has a VERY low error tolerance, and you might try looking at other ways of matching and stitching pieces together so they are seamless.
7. After you have one panorama, instead of showing it at the beginning, have a gallery button, this way they can come into a screen of buttons and actually navigate with out having to use hard keys.
The above was meant to be constructive - please don't take offense, I think you have a good starting point with the app. If you need help with any of it let me know, I have a pretty decent Java/Android background, just no time to make my own apps.

I didn't understand the difference between the two different options for creating a panoramic pic (I don't remember what they were called, manage and auto I think)
I also didn't understand the point of levels
Also it would be nice when the stitching occurs if the app looked for overlap and then removed the overlapping parts of the pic.
Another suggestion would be that when you take a pic that is part of the panoramic shot that you leave it on screen and then overlay the camera view over it so you can better line up and tell where the next shot should be.

i feel like an idiot.. i've had vignette (paid version) on my phone for months now and never noticed the panorama cam... gonna try it out in the daylight tomorrow to see how well it works..

Have had my phone 24 hours now. Any requests?

Central Standard Time here. Sorry if this the wrong spot for this... but I have had my razer phone for a little over 24 hours now and was just checking in to see if anyone wants me to test anything.

Not by default, my roommate who has one said the "Camera Software I downloaded" let him do so. I am skeptical but can report back when I get home and can see it.

camera test
Will you please try downloading gcam and see how it takes pictures with gcam? both using HDR+ and regular.
GCam is the camera app from the pixel phones. there are versions of it for different phones (unofficially) here in xda.
I want to see how different the pictures are. i heard that they were using the S7 Edge camera sensor. that leads me to believe that the camera is potentially not bad. Basically that would be a win for all of us if true. will you put that to the test? thanks man. also i was looking to buy it to root as well but im not sure if you are up to go that far but if you do, let me know how it goes. thank you very much!

Gcam with hdr+ does help a ton! The camera is still a little slow but the ceo for razer said updates to address the camera are coming.

Is brightness as big an issue as some claim it to be? I dont often use my phone under the sun or even outdoor, but it still got me worrying.

IMHO,a resounding NO........
The display is plenty bright,adjust to your liking.
Adaptive lighting/auto brightness,I have both turned off.
I have yet to use a phone that suits me using either,always being too dim,this one is no different.
Crank it up to your liking manually & it's more than bright enough,with plenty to spare.
No phone is going to be as clear/bright/legible outdoors vs indoors.
From my experience/usage with many,many phones,there's negligible,if any,difference under sunlit/outdoor conditions from one phone to the next.
I'm sure you could detect negligible differences in a side-by-side comparison,but,that's not real-world usage,just for the bloggers/websites to have something to talk about.......
Rest assured,the screen is plenty bright,go ahead & dive in..................... :good:

Music player
Yeah, buddy.. for a phone that is supposed to be all about the music with Dolby, THX and the like - does it not come with a music player?
Any recomendations for playing music locally and on LAN?
Cheers

I have used neutron for a while now, the gui is not the best, but it does have really good sound.

Has anyone tried emulating ps2 games or Wii yet i have seen videos of game play on the galaxy s8 . Curious if the hardware makes it more playable

It does have a music player Google Play Music is the default.

Does the included USB C DAC work with other USB C phones? Please list what phones you tested with if you do.

Can you take some more portrait mode picture samples? This are not very good compositions.
The Coke can does not have enough depth in the background and the wall is just plain. Try something else and line it up straight instead of top-down.
Thanks!

looks like **** still.

I snapped this one this am. Looks pretty darn good to me and it's even in a low light condition!!
Edit: for some reason the picture isn't showing up

A bush

A few more

Here's mine

Some people cannot be pleased, no matter what.
These photos are great and just fine, but if you're the sort of person hell bent of crapping on the PH-1 no matter what, then nothing from this phone's camera is going to placate you.
It's really getting boring at this time, all the hee-haw about the camera..

What does the slider on the bottom of Portrait Mode control? The bokeh/blurring effect?

from what i gathered yes but the lighting control is sort of a manual exposure control. used it with the moto x pure and it came out fantastic

To me these photos look plenty good. I am comparing them with the likes of note 7 and op3.

YouTube Pinch

Is it just me or had Huawei blocked the ability to pinch to zoom/fit the whole screen?

This was annoying me for days until I figured it out
You can only pinch to zoom in one horizontal orientation. Of you flip it so that the home button swap sides it works, flip again and it stops

I can't seem to pinch no Matter what, very annoying indeed

Just received an update that fixed it, but annoying that it only works in one orientation

Related annoyance: when pinched in, look at the notch side of the screen. The letter boxing is just not quite right. There is a little strip of video cut off from the rest.

I think Huawei wanted to avoid the notch criticism, but then why put a notch in the first place. Tbh with having the iPhone X also, personally speaking I don't mind the notch :good:

I was about to comment that its not happening on mine. But then i remember that am using vanced adfree youtube. LoL,
You guys should try to use it as well. It can force HDR, disable resolution check, completely ad free, and the best part is : background playback ! you can even turn off the screen and youtube will stay playing. very good as music player/spotify replacement
Also, it dont have that stupid notch bugs of course :silly:

If you are not rooted, you can install non root version from : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/page161

Have you got a link for your modded APK , tried it and it won't show HDR

Go to Netflix click on account it will take you to browser and your account, go to playback settings and select high , now swipe Netflix away and restart it turn brightness up at least 75% choose a hdr film it does take a few seconds for the quality to render up ,, best over wifi i have found for testing,,,,, some films look amazing some don't look as good in parts but it's deffo hdr.... You can always switch on your network speed in the icon bar to show how much data it's downloading ,, it's more data for hdr .. Here's apic of settings

Its not really a Mod Version -_- Just the first 5.X Version that had HDR Support.
The newest Version from the Store shows only HD, but I Compared them and all tough it doesn't say HDR it seems to be HDR.
Im sure an Netflix Update will come and it will show it properly. I also got the EVR-AL00 8/256 and received the HuaweiUpdate.
