[Q] is there a AOSP/CM10.1 Camera app that... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Camera app for CM10.1/AOSP that doesn't take pics in WIDESCREEN? like the stock TW app? (Just change resolution)
Tried the moto cam app, doesn't store to external SD, also only 2 pic resolution sizes.
Has to be fully functional.
Thanks!!!

In the stock camera app, set the resolution to 6 megapixels. It is a slightly smaller resolution, but I think its the same quality.
Good luck

no

It still takes pictures in wide screen format. I don't care about the resolution size, I just went it to take non wide screen pictures. 4:3 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. But thanks!

I'm sorry I misread your post. All I can think of is taking a full sized picture and then finding an app to crop it to the desired aspect ratio, or doing it on a computer with a program. A while back I used an app to do that, I don't remember the name. Just search "picture crop" in the play store and I'm sure you will find something. Good luck

I'd rather not have to do it through another app. But thanks you for everything.

any recommended camera apps?

coming from an at&t tilt where i could atleast do burst mode, i'm surprise the evo didn't have this feature builtin.
any recommendations?
Camera Zoom FX in marketplace
burst up to 16 shots @ 2mp each... works very nicely.... and is free.
Vignet is an awesome camera app. Has so many filters and can shoot from full res down to tiny size its a paid app though totally worth it. You can even import other pics from the regular camera to add filters. Which is pretty sweet.

I second Vignette. I just bought it yesterday, and its the best camera app i've used thus far!
I wish somebody would make a digital camera quality app for this phone. Something that let you adjust settings to the level of a modded Canon camera.

I don't know what kind of settings you can really adjust, I mean, look at the camera... it's not exactly fancy. There's not much you can change, there's not even any optically zoom on it. All that you're going to get pretty much is software filters and stuff.
I third vignette. Also check out Camera 360 it has alot of cool functions. It has a free and paid version I use multiple apps to get a good feel of things
Here are a few samples I have taken using Vignette , Camera360 and even a littel Photoshop.com app
cool, ill try out vignette and see how it works out. the list of features is pretty impressive.

no burst mode though

Why are the pictures so poor??

I am coming from a Vibrant and although by the time I bought this phone the Vibrant was laggy, GPS was hit and miss, and allot of apps would force close, it still had a very good camera. I don't understand why this camera at 5mp takes such poor pics. I have a very good camera but sometimes I do forget it, it's too heavy, or I don't charge it so having a nice camera on the phone would be beneficial. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

You really think the camera is bad? Seems better than the hd2 I had. Have you blown them up on a computer and looked at them or are you just going off the phone? Maybe im just easy to please its really fast and works pretty well
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
No I haven't blown them up I just zoom in from the phone itself. I take the same pic with my husbands iPhone4 zoom in and it is still crisp and clear, with my phone it is very pixelated.

I saw another post around here discussing this, and in it someone said to change... from widescreen to 4:3? I believe..? I don't have the phone yet so can't look in the phone for ya. It's here in the forum tho.
I think the pictures are pretty good. Here are a few I took a couple of days ago:
Speaking of "pop"... Those reds look really nice and deep. Nice choice of images.

Strange. I started the other thread because mine were NOT so good. There are limited settings in the default camera, and I have set mine to the highest resolution and do not see any other adjustments in the setting menu.
At the wide mode, my files were only .6 - 1.2 mb (compressed I am sure). Yours are 3 mb - and much better quality - are you using the OEM camera?
I get MUCH better shots using the 360 Camera app - but not when using the stock camera app. If you are using the stock camera app - is there a setting I have missed?
I vaguely remember a post that said the camera is not set to 5MP by default. You have to set it to 5MP within the settings.

I set it to 5MP first thing - so-so pictures followed.
I use Camera 360. The uncompressed images look far better than when using the stock camera app.
It's unfortunate that the stock camera app doesn't allow manual compression settings. But that's why we have developers.
stock camera compresses the s out of the shots.
Go vigenette or camera 360 (all these were taken using either of the 2)

heh, I could have been in any of those pics. I was at Don's Bogam BBQ the other day (down the st from pic #3), playing with my new MT4G at dinner.

Does that app do full screen 8mp pictures?
On a side note, my camera has stopped working right.. When I take a picture it just freezes at the preview and doesn't save. Very weird..

Yes, it does. It is an option in settings to render at full MP. It is also only 10 cents today on market.

Yeah the best one for gingerbread definitely.
Just going to bump this thread in case anyone has any more suggestions?
I want to use aosp roms, but find myself preferring the sense camera, and so am looking for a good alternative to use on CM9/AOKP.
For ICS you try Camera ICS+ or LGCamera - no better alternatives yet.
What I am really looking for is a camera app that has the full-screen preview (as opposed to using about 1/4 of the screen to contain one button (shutter button), which results in images that are full screen on the phone as well. Unless my settings are wrong, when I choose 8MP in CameraZoom FX, the images are not full screen when I see them in the Gallery.
Is there a camera app which produces uncompressed (high quality) images, as there is for Sense ROMs?

Grid mode for camera??

Is there a grid mode or rule of third in the stock camera app?
is there a way to add this type of feature to the stock if there isn't any?

You would need to download a new camera app for this. The stock camera app is still lacking features, and the view screen is not even the same aspect ratio as the pictures its taking.
Focal is a good camera app with grid. You can download it on play store.

Hear about this in my research but it looks bulky, so many features for a camera app. I am not sure if many of them are necessary.
what is your preferred camera app? Do you use Focal personal?

Is it close to the stock camera. From what I've seen with the stock camera, it looks great and easy to use, not too much unwanted junk.

There isn't that much features. It got flash, white balance, scene mode, HDR, effects, exposure comp., burst mode, timer and settings which has image size, toggle exposure ring, auto-enhancement and grid mode. Yeah I use focal.

Best panorama taking app?

Which apps that take great panorama pictures would you recommend? It doesn't matter if I have to pay
The stock camera app takes low res panoramas, around 3 MP , the colors are washed out/weird , it's awful, just like the stock camera app itself, I mean, really google no 16:9 6 MP picture option? No 60 fps 1080p video? No burst mode? I could go on and on ...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the stock app is the only one that does photosphere. I know Focal had some sort of spherical photo but I don't know how well it works. Anyway, photosphere stitches it well for me. Have you tried holding the phone in one place and simply tilting it? It won't work if if you just wave your phone around everywhere.
noticed too the stock camera is terrible at panoramas... bad stitching and really low res...
