[Q] Advanced Camera App (Shutter speed, etc)

Is there an advanced camera app that works on the G2X? I haven't rooted my phone yet but I'd do it if a rom has a better camera app or something. I'm looking to being able to control my shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and possibly aperture (Although I'm not sure if camera phones even have adjustable aperture).

Camera360 has a good amount of options, you should check that out.

When They took the lg camera away I tried every camera app in the market and none of them were any good I wasted alot of money buying the pro versions and they all sucked most were not even as good as the stock vanilla android camera that we go with the GB update and certainly not as good as the froyo LG camera app. Sorry to sound negative. On a good note you can now get the LG froyo camera on GB it has been done I have it and you dont even need to be rooted

Please explain how you got the LG Cam without being rooted...

You know you get a 15 min window to get a refund on apps bought in the market, right?..

I've recently purchased Camera Zoom FX (after using Camera 360 for a while). It works with the front-facing camera and has some good basic requirements. It also has tons of extras I will probably never use, but then I just want to take a fast shot that is clear and crisp.

Hahahahaha +1

Thanks for all the help guys. Camera360 doesn't have any of the exposure settings I wanted except for white balance but I'll root and flash a rom with the LG Cam and see how that goes.

[Q] ICS to finaly bring HD video to Nexus S?

I love my Nexus S phone but it's almost the only Android phone being sold today without HD video. The camera's resolution should support 720p video (as the Galaxy S), and the problem is the lack of support for HD video by the native Android operating system.
Now, that the Galaxy Nexus will support 1080p video recording with a native Android, do you think the Nexus S will get it too?

No. our hardware is limited.

This is a question I am very interested in hearing the answer to as well. It would he nice to see HD video capabilities as well as the super fast shutter speed be provided by the OS to the Nexus S and not a hardware exclusive feature of the Galaxy Nexus.
It would also be nice if the update to ICS fixed the screen burn in on my phone caused by the notification bar.

I think it's the same camera as the Galaxy S

Have you tried fast burst camera in the market? Just until we get ICS. Works very well

Not even 720p?

i recall the nexus s not getting 720p recording due to codecs

Nexus s is not doing 720p video. It is not a limatation with the os.
Search the forum if you want a detailed reason why.

Yes. Do a search. It is a hardware limitation, not software.

Nexus s camera sensor is different than galaxy s sensor because they needed the extra space in the phone casing for the NFC hardware in our phone. The sensors are physically differant. The pics are around here some where if you search for it. It shows both camera sensors to compare.

So that means the Nexus brand will always have a lesser camera
The Nexus One had a 5MP at launch with no HD video at launch.
The Nexus S still have a 5MP camera with no HD
No, the Galaxy Nexus still have a 5MP camera when everybody else use a 8MP camera.
I can't understand why google equip their flagship phones with relatively crappy cameras

Ahh you are falling foul of the MP myth dude, MPs are a size issue so unless you are printing posters then its not the MPs but the sensor too. You could have a 12mp camera with a ****ty sensor and an 8 mp with a good one and it will take the better picture. It is also dependent on the cameraman too of course.

Ah, this. You can give some people the best camera in the world and they still take the crappiest pictures....

If you use google plus follow Romain guy he uploaded a sample video filmed with the gn and it is outstandingly amazing, screw the megapixels this bad boy is fantastic!

Someone can confirm that video mode have an image stabilisation option? Or this feature is only important for Apple?

The Galaxy Nexus has it, will the nexus have it nobody knows. It depends if it is hardware or software based.

Thanx! I hope the Galaxy S2 will also get this feature with an Ice Cream Sandwich.

I think the GS2 already have this feature implemented

Camera Apps for AOSP

CM10/AOKP may not have the Sense camera, but the the Play store seems to have some viable alternatives. What camera Apps would you guys recommend for the HOX?
Running AOKP Build 3 if that makes any difference.

If you are looking for something similar in quality to the Sense cam, I think you may be out of luck. It has to do with the camera framework being specific to Sense. AOKP and AOSP roms don't have the same integration to 'unlock' the same quality. Or so the internet told me

AOSP does not have the same drivers for the camera/camcorder hardware that Sense has. HTC made the drivers specifically for Sense, and specifically for the camera that the HOX has, so obviously, the Sense camera will ALWAYS be better.
AOSP ROMs are currently using an open-source camera/camcorder driver, so yes it can be improved and the possibility IS there for it to be just as good, if not better, than the Sense camera, but it is VERY hard since HTC doesn't help out at all

Both of you are missing the point, reread the op he is asking for a alternative camera for aosp as the stock one sucks
Try to find the miui camera. Its much better than the aosp one

Can I ask a similar, related question? Do the 3rd party camera apps mentioned above work on Sense ROMs too?

CM vs Sense camera quality

alot of people in other forums i read say that SENSE stock camera is superior than the CM camera.
what do u guys think?

Definitely. Stock takes a much smaller picture, more square-sized, and is quite often blurred on mine. Sweep panorama is the only upside to the stock Android camera.

184 is from sense
547 is from liquids ROM

Hey guys, I've been meaning to try CM for a while but the HTC Camera app has kept me with sense. Does the CM Camera app have HDR built in?

It has HDR but it's not that good and often appears blurry because the camera drivers aren't perfect yet

Port of Samsung camera APP?

Hello. Is there any port of Sammy or other camera app to N5? Stock is terrible in panoramas - it stitches worse panorama than my previous budget sammy and totally uncomparable to gs3 panoramas.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Since most of these oem cameras can't be ported onto aosp roms for the same phone, im going to say its unlikely. Try 3rd party apps or aosp cameras

I do NOT reply to support queries over PM. Please keep support queries to the Q&A section, so that others may benefit

Since touchwiz is a closed deal, I would assume that their apps that go along with it are also closed.

try doing a panorama with photosphere instead. its quality will be much higher. and you would need much more than the samsung camera app to make it work, youd need the framework, the cpu, and kernel support for it.

Thanks for quick reply. True - panoramas are muuuuuch better with photosphere. Not as good as with gs4 but good enough. Br!

Just pray someday Google will fix their camera software someday that is near.
It's a shame Google markets the camera like as if it's the best camera ever on the market. Don't market something if your not gonna make your camera software AWESOME.
Even the GSIV and HTC ONE looks crappy if you use an AOSP ROM with the Stock AOSP Camera.
