Grid mode for camera?? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

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?

Best camera app for the GSIII?

I know that we have plenty of camera apps out there, but I'm concerned about them not being optimized enough for specific devices. I've been pretty disappointed with the stock JB camera, so what is the most impressive app with the most features in the Play Store?
I think the stock camera is awesome. If there was someway to implement it into jelly beans ROMs that would be awesome. All the camera apps on the market are horrible in my opinion.

Camera Zoom FX works for me & it will let you use the volume button to snap a pic.

Unfortunately not an option for those of us who despise TouchWiz.
I'd mainly like something with HDR capabilities and exposure compensation. Taking the photos with a hardware button is also a huge plus.

try camera fv-5 it costs $5 on the android market but it allows you to save the picture as a png format so it shows the true power of the 8 mp snapper. if you know picture formats you will realize that the android camera saves as a jpg which compresses the photo and basically your 8mp snapper becomes like a 1mp snapper but this app saves as a png which is the raw picture format so it shows the true power of this camera.

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...

Camera app like iPhone?

Hi. I'm a new z1c user and I'm loving everything except the camera.
Anybody know how I can get the camera to shift White balance according to where I tap?
On the iPhone for example if there's a bright spot and the picture looks too dark, if you tap a dark spot it will adjust the colors shop that the colors balance according to your objective.
Can the Z1c do this too?
I've only seen the manual mode which is far worse send more complicated than the standard camera app on the iPhone (which I hate as a phone)
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
It actualy only adjusts exposure (on iPhone).
I don't know an app that does this by tapping, but you can adjust it in manual mode by taping the icon between the flash and scene mode.
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
It sounds like you want touch focus. Z1c does this: go to settings in camera app and change focus mode to touch focus.

He wanted touch focus with touch exposure together. I know Iphone and HTC does support that but our z1c no.
Or just download Google camera app
It supports touch focus and exposure

Yeah it doesn't balance the whites as good as the HTC (HTC one's white balance > iphone's, iphone's pic quality > HTC one's) but for what we are left with, I guess it does its job done. But can be better. If ill find any other app that can do the touch exposure thing, I'll buy it and use it as my camera app on my phone.
Sorry if you had to waste few bucks on the paid apps I mentioned.
Try to contact snap hdr team and tell them about this exposure feature maybe they might listen?
