Face2Gif is the fastest way to create your own animated gifs right from your phone or tablet! It's perfect for reaction gifs (reaction faces), and time-lapse shots. If you have been on 9gag, tumblr recently, you probably have seen one of these pictures.
This app uses your front camera to record your face, and converts it into an animated gif picture to share with your friends, on your blog, and just everywhere!
The app is newly released so please bear with me in fixing all the bugs, please report if the app crashes or does something nasty!
Inspired from hdragomir.github.io/facetogif by Horia Dragomir.
Features:
-Create animated gif "reaction faces" with ease
-Share it to other apps and instant messaging
-Upload it online!
-Apply effects like Caption or Vignette to the picture
-Gallery to view your gifs
-Change FPS, the quality of the picture, and if you want to repeat the animation
Permissions:
-Camera: To record
-Internet: Admob ads (version without the ads coming soon, I promise!)
-Storage: Save the pictures to external storage (/Pictures/Face2Gif)

Play Store
Please give any comments on the app here(design, praises, hate mails...). It would really help out on the development of the app.

Just released an update that should fix a lot of crashes. Anyway, please give any feedback here! I would really appreciate it!

Epic!

Trying to use it on my tf300t but am seeing 'can't connect to camera'. Any hope?

Great app so far! Easy to use, minimal permissions needed (that's good), decent interface. Fantastic work.
Constructive criticism: Use of the normal (rear camera) would be nice and maybe a setting to change the location of where the finished gif's get stored. Besides that, love it.

Thank you! Rear camera is def. an upcoming feature, and I will look into alternate URLs for the gifs.

It crashes when trying to share with Gmail too. The only option to export the gif file so far that has worked is Dropbox.

Besides minor FC when trying to share.... Very nice app... As far as wanting to use the rear camera I'll wait for the new app to do so...
Some criticism would be for the future:
A lot of users aren't willing to install 2 apps that will do the same thing only to be able to use the front and back camera...& changing the name of the application isn't really necessary if u include the ability to use the back camera just keep the front camera as default...
Otherwise great app Google + be ready for some more GIFs lol

[App][2.1+] Pho.to Lab - photo effects, frames and montages

Pho.to Lab is a photo processing app which boasts one of the vastest collections of stylish and funny photo effects: more than 500 effects to date! Fantastic face photo montages, photo frames, animated effects and photo filters are here for you to enjoy.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Pho.to Lab features include:
☆ Photo frames:
choose one of our beautiful frames if you need a final touch to your favorite picture.
☆ Realistic photo effects:
place your image in an unlikely setting. Airbrush it on an exclusive car or leave it as a sand imprint on the beach.
☆ Face photo montages:
Turn yourself or your friend into Jack Sparrow, an astronaut or a horrible monster. The most complicated montages are handled automatically by a face detection algorithm.
☆ Photo filters:
add some style to your images with various photo filters such as Black&White, Neon Glow, Oil Painting and many others.
☆ Photo collages:
create a wonderful picture of you and your friend floating together in a sentimental or futuristic setting.
How it works:
First, choose a photo effect. Then pick a photo you want to process. The photo will be uploaded to our servers and it will be processed there. Then the result will be downloaded back to your phone. All the effects are applied automatically, so you don't have to tweak them manually. This includes face montages. Our face detection algorithms will take care of your portraits.
Important:
Pho.to Lab needs Internet connection to process photos. That's why it's a good idea to use it when your smartphone or tablet is connected to Wi-Fi network.
Feedback:
If you want to complain about something or if you have a feature request, feel free to post in this thread. Alternatively, email [email protected]
Download Pho.to Lab FREE from Google Play
Download Pho.to Lab PRO from Google Play

As the official part is over, let me add my two cents. My name's Kate, and I'm a part of the dev team which has created Pho.to Lab. I'm eager to hear what you think of it and to help if you have any problems with the app. Negative feedback is welcome! Though personally I'd prefer flattering comments. Please, PM me if you don't feel like reaching out via email or posting here.

Uploading photos might not best option.
1. Privacy
2. Image size upload download limitations.
Above is my personal opinion. Idea is good.

Pho.to Lab doesn't generate short links to pictures unless you tell it to.

That's why we advise to use Wi-Fi. Besides, downloading an image seems way more efficient than storing 500+ hi-res photo frames in a phone memory. If Pho.to Lab worked offline, we should have sent a 16 GB flash drive to each user

upload to your server is not the good idea... IMHO...

Yes, but neither is jamming all the effects into phone memory. Besides, we have tons of pictures processed on our site everyday and no one has complained of privacy problems so far. (It's not a challenge, please don't try to hack it somehow)

You can make use of technology like webservices etc for processing instructions.
Just like google doing voice to text conversions. If we can imagine their data center size
Edit: It is brand power that people rely so much. I wish you all the best.
If you wish to provide cloud based services for storage it will sound positive but not just for image processing. Thanks.

Actually, we do provide storage services. But we're centered on photo processing and everything related to it, so we only host images. I guess I'll create a thread for our photo sharing app a little later.

We have opened a beta test thread about the new version of Pho.to Lab on XDA. If you want to try it out, head over here.

We have rolled out the redesigned version of Pho.to Lab PRO!

Wow. This is absolutely amazing. Great way to promote your app. Will it be activate on all future devices with my play store account?
I really have no complaints. Small things could be improved like the smoothness of resizing the window. Overall this is a fantastic application. I hope you make more floating apps seeing as you clearly put quality first.
Edit: I do have one complaint. When Notification Launch is enabled, the X button on the top right corner of the window is redundant. Either remove it or provide an option to remove it as the window can be closed from the notification.

Great idea, bad outcome
This whole app and idea is excellent. The app itself and it's menu is also pretty good. But when you're actually using the camera, the photos are less then stellar. Is there an auto-focus feature? Such as tapping the screen to auto focus? I really like the idea but the photos are not coming out good.

Could be an issue with your phone. Mine auto focuses. But you are talking about manual focus where you tap the screen, it focuses and then you tap the shutter button to take the picture.

There's an auto-focus when you tap the window, and, as it was said before, when you click the shutter button.
Currently there's no manual focus as the window size is usually too small to determine the exact location that the user wanted to focus, we thought that an auto-focus would be much better.

First of all thanks for the great feedback, we'll look into the 'x' removal option and check it with our beta group.
Second, the promotion is locally stored, which means it'll be removed on uninstall and won't be activated on future devices. It is a 'getting to know' promotion and our way of returning something to the xda community.

So the promotion is not tied to the account but to the device?
Either way, I think this app is very well done. I was able to get a force close playing with it for a few minutes by changing Snapy mode to no notification. For some reason, it stayed in my notification panel, but when I tried to click settings from there it crashed. I can't seem to replicate it anymore though, so all is well.

This is a very well made app. It is smooth and reliable. I will definitely be using this quite a lot for those moments when you need to take a picture fast.

IJust purchased an unlock.
Love the app, has a great interface and handy to have... but have some feedback.
1) the option to upgrade on the free version is currently spelled "upgrage"
2) even after purchase, I am still nagged to buy you a coffee... I have already purchased, so why am I nagged to give you more money?
3) the Resolution of pics are limited to 7 megapixel when my camera is capable of more.
4) possible integration as an extension for 'floating notifications'?
Please see what can be done to address this feedback... It's really good, just some niggles.

[APP][3.1+] Friend Brush

Hi everyone,
I have recently published a new app called Friend Brush. Using this app you can create collages of smaller photos that look like a single photo when seen from distance (or zoomed out). You can pick your tiles from various sources, namely Facebook, Google+, or your device's gallery. For the big picture, you can either choose from your gallery or simply take a photo with the camera. Below is a sample of what can be done using this app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would highly appreciate any feedback, especially on stability and user experience of the app.
Download from Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=annahid.apps.friendbrush
In case there are some issues in the public release, you can try bleeding-edge beta versions of the app using one of the following options:
OPTION 1:
Become a Google Play beta tester for the app. I have enabled beta testing for XDA Android App Testers Community.
OPTION 2:
Download the testing version from my official website. This version has all the basic features of the app, plus a report button you can use to contact me about a bug.
If you like the app, please make me extremely happy by tipping this to XDA Portal!

Friend Brush has just been updated. Now everyone can choose large tile photos. I also found some bugs in the previous versions and fixed them.

Great, thanks for sharing your work. Really nice idea to honor your friends with being a part of a new picture.

I have uploaded a new version to beta channels. I have tried to fix previous bugs. All the new features of 1.2.x are still in beta and not open to public. So, you can have first-hand access to those features (and help me perfect them). Thanks!

Nice idea and good work! Thanks

By the way, thanks for tipping.

Looks nice, gonna try it.

Thank you for your interest and your idea! Feedback like this helps me understand better what exactly users are looking for. Friend Brush was originally using just friend profile pictures for tiles (hence the name), and using photo albums was a late decision. So that part is still not mature enough. I will think about your idea to incorporate it in a user friendly way. Might not be in the next update, but for sure I will do it in the future. And if you like the app, I would be really glad if you rated it as I'm currently being stormed by haters on Google Play.
Thanks again!

Fantastic App! A few suggestions if I may.
1) I couldn't find anything that show's the full list of Premium features.
2) A little "help" about what the settings do would be useful. Like the random options of none to maximum. I tried both settings with the same brush and picture yet saw no difference.
3) It was not clear where the app was saving the creations or what it was calling them. Option to name them would be good. I plugged the phone in and searched the internal storage for "friends" to find where they were.
4) It would be great to be able to "favourite" the tiles you pick for the brush. In that if 2 tiles have virtually identical colour tags it would choose the 1 you marked higher priority. Although this is ofc a very minor suggestion
5) A bit of a "Tutorial" for want of a better word, more like basic help. As in the recommended number of tiles for the brush to get good results. I had about 200 of my little son and tried to make a creation out of that but the creation picture was poor. It was not really possible to make it out, this is most likely because of the lack of colours the app had available to make the creation because i had too few photo's. A little tip about this might stop people using too few and discarding the app as useless just because they didnt give it a fair shot.
6) Scrolling down the photo's in the creation is very slow (Xperia Z), maybe its possible for it to cache/thumbnail those. I have around 300 pics on my phone but it took a fair amount of time to scroll to pick a creation photo while it was loading them. It processed the brush and creation faster than browsing the album
Please dont take any of that as negativity, just suggestions. The app is absolutely brilliant and truly 1 of a kind!
Thanks
Adam

thanks for this wonderfull app....
one suggestion..when i am viewing the creation on my desktop while zooming the image it's blurred, but on phone its fine..can you have a look into this...

Thank you. How much are you zooming? Tile sizes are limited (32x32 pixels by default). You can set them to twice this size (64x64) by going to Settings. Hope this helps.

Fantastic App! A few suggestions if I may.
1) I couldn't find anything that show's the full list of Premium features.
2) A little "help" about what the settings do would be useful. Like the random options of none to maximum. I tried both settings with the same brush and picture yet saw no difference.
3) It was not clear where the app was saving the creations or what it was calling them. Option to name them would be good. I plugged the phone in and searched the internal storage for "friends" to find where they were.
4) It would be great to be able to "favourite" the tiles you pick for the brush. In that if 2 tiles have virtually identical colour tags it would choose the 1 you marked higher priority. Although this is ofc a very minor suggestion
5) A bit of a "Tutorial" for want of a better word, more like basic help. As in the recommended number of tiles for the brush to get good results. I had about 200 of my little son and tried to make a creation out of that but the creation picture was poor. It was not really possible to make it out, this is most likely because of the lack of colours the app had available to make the creation because i had too few photo's. A little tip about this might stop people using too few and discarding the app as useless just because they didnt give it a fair shot.
6) Scrolling down the photo's in the creation is very slow (Xperia Z), maybe its possible for it to cache/thumbnail those. I have around 300 pics on my phone but it took a fair amount of time to scroll to pick a creation photo while it was loading them. It processed the brush and creation faster than browsing the album
Please dont take any of that as negativity, just suggestions. The app is absolutely brilliant and truly 1 of a kind!
Thanks

Thanks for your comments and your interest! I will answer your questions one by one here:
1) Did you click on "Why?" The button is available on the Google Play version, beside "Go Premium!" on Dashboard
2) There are Help pages about everything in the app. Just hit the menu button and choose Help from overflow menu. You can swipe to the screen you desire. Otherwise go to Settings and choose Help from there.
3) The app saves the creations to Pictures/Friend Brush on your external storage. Naming option can be added in the future.
4) I am thinking of new options for tiles for future updates.
5) Obviously the app can't do magic. 200 photos is a good number if they have diverse color tones. Camera shots normally have very flat range of colors. The app works best with profile pictures of your friends. About 300 profile secures a diverse enough spectrum.
6) I will look into that.

Looks very nice so far, everything seems to be working fine, will be be the ability to change which folder it stores the images/videos to or to choose from Internal or SD Card (External) in the future?
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:

okay, fine~ we will consider your suggestion, dear.
We will update more functions in the second stage.
Welcome to give us feedback any time

Only getting 2.1mp images from my Nexus 5 running 5.1 and there's no option to change it to 8mp
Also the video is 720p only and video quality is very bad.

Ui is perfect, bet the viewfinder is rather slow, and focus as well.
Add some more options to the gallery, like showing all picture folders.
Improve these things and i have a new daily driver!

I love the design however it looks too identical to the one on iOS, try making the design your own? Something unique but good looking.
You should add exposure functions and other camera functions. If that happens I will definitely ditch Google Camera for this.

Looks good so far. Is there an option for HDR?

Need a panorama mode and a settings section otherwise great app

Getting "Fail to connect the camera. Please turn off the flash or reboot your phone and try again." Tried rebooting and it stay this way. Google camera works fine. I'm using Samsung Captivate i897 running OMNIrom 5.0.2 Lollipop

i tried it on my nexus 5 , the video quality is very low and there is no option for change it !!
thank you for this application

OK, I tried this out a bit earlier and I'm digging the filters.. My only question is whether or not a soft back button can be implemented? It would make switching from the camera to another app a lot easier, instead of having to click on the gallery/last picture I snapped to get that functionality..

Only black in preview screen.. but capture is ok..

Implement Camera2 into this and it will be fantastic.

powerful?
Picture size is 1280x720 normal
switched to square and it's 2322x2322
switched back to normal and it's 4128x2322
Video is 1280x720
The only available setting is Flash. And it doesn't work.
Is that really worth mentioning at http://www.xda-developers.com/new-app-spotlight-geak-camera/ ?

and i will move to these app
oh, and i like your compass and calculator apps
