[Q] How to take continuous photos? What's auto awesome? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking for this with no luck, in my old Note 2 I was able to shoot multiple photos in seconds, like 10 - 15 photos, however in Nexus 5 I have tried almost everything and I can't find that option, is it there? I know this might be pretty obvious, but I can't find it.
By the way, what's Auto awesome? I've read about it, but I don't get the idea or how to use it :S
Thanks in advanced, have a good day!

Hi
The nexus 5 doesn't have a built in burst mode unfortunately. There are alternative apps that can give you the same feature from the Play Store. I use an app called Fast Burst camera. Does the same thing
As for auto awesome, it is a Google plus feature that ties in with the auto upload of photos feature. So basically when your phone auto uploads pictures to Google plus (if you have it enabled), the Google servers scan the images and make new photos/ add effects (ie. Auto awesome). These include color correction, gifs, photo grids etc. It is a terrible explanation but I hope it clears it up a little

Wall paper randomizer

Does anyone have any reccomendations for an app for this:
Code:
every X minutes do
select 1 photo randomly from [ list, of, gallary, albums ]
auto crop
set as wall paper
Preferably where it is smart enough to crop the image as little as possible, many of my wall papers fall between 1024x768 to 1600x1200, so it's not so necessary on a TF lol.

I tried that but couldnt figure out how to have just one wallpaper and not the one paper for each screen. Is thatpossible?
Yes. Select "single picture" as your source. However there would be no picture scrolling. but it does prevent your wallpapers from being cropped/pixelated.
would it also allow periodic paper switching when single picture as source is selected?
That doesn't make sense. If you only choose a single photo of course it won't change. There is however an option to pick a folder and you can pick how many minutes before it alternates.You can also choose to double tap the screen for iimmediate change.

Thats why i asked. I (and the op i believe) want an app that changes the wallpaper randomly. Not to have different wallpapers for each page. Multi live wallpaper isnt what he needs then. Wallpaper slideshow isnt perfect but it does the trick.
I'm not exactly sure if its compatible with TF, but J4velin wrote an app called Wallpaper Changer that might be what your looking for.
Let me know if it works...

wallswitch in the market does everything you want.
you can point it to a folder full of wallpapers and it will switch between them based on a timescale you want.
as long as the wallpapers in the folder are the correct size it does the job perfectly.

i dont think its optimised for tablets to be honest, although their is a setting you can choose where it doesnt crop the image.
Searching market for wall switch and multi live wall paper, suggests that it's near'ish what I want but not quite. All my stuff has been moved from a shared folder to Picasa, and I have so many that I needed 2 albums...bloody 1000 pictures to an album crap!
On the upside, looks like one of them has source available, so maybe I can figure sth out.

Looking for a Picture edit app with built in Gallery

I want to be able to flick between pictures and edit them quickly.
Can someone suggest an app with built in gallery and edit capability (I want to be able to write / draw on the pics, not crop and rotate etc).?

QuickPic + Photo Editor together is a good couple to do so. Maybe you may like to set these 2 apps as default photo browser and editor.

Flash card app request.

I am looking for a flash card app with the following:
* Ability to write freehand with the stylus like you would with S Note.
* Can organize cards into different topics.
Any recommendations?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
If you can find the app for flashcards there is a keyboard called '7Notes with mazec' that will let you write freehand.
The Samsung virtual keyboard has a handwriting to text option built in which has worked in every app I have tried so far. The toggle key is to the left of the spacebar. Long press it and you will see a T with a pen option. That brings up the area to write in with the pen or your finger.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
The problem is that I need to draw math formulas and diagrams on the cards. They are too complex for using alpha syntax for math so I'd really like to have something that I can just write on.

I took a look at this and its input into the application is still text. It allows you to draw, but the input was still text in the Ankidroid flash card app I tried.
Can't you use a good note app that has folders and multiple pages? What is it exactly that you are looking for in a flash card app, besides writing?

First one I tried I was able to write in, front and back, and tested a simple formula. Worked fine. When using 7 Note, if you see a typing keyboard just switch to any other one and then switch back to 7 Note. It will usually then show you the writing space.

I've been searching for months and have only found two:
Flux Cards: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.leowandersleb.fluxcards&hl=en
Can't control stroke width or erase anything, but still quite usable. Remember to export your cards in between ROM flashes or you'll lose everything.
The other is Memory Story Flashcards S Pen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bwr.memorystory&hl=en
It's a paid app, so I haven't taken the plunge to try it out, but it certainly seems like it beats Flux Cards on the drawing side of things, though I can't tell if the spaced repetition algorithm is as good.
I've actually got the memory story app. It's very VERY good, but unfortunately, it isn't set up for multi-window. So if you write the cards of full screen, you're good. If you write 'em in multi, your cards will not scale correctly. The developer doesn't have multi window on his note 1, so he doesn't plan on adding multi capabilities to it. Mer...

[Q] Slow Share menu

Since the most recent update, my Share menu takes a long time to come up when I share a link from apps. Apps I can duplicate the issue with (because I use them all the time) are Reddit Sync Pro and Reddit Now, but it seems to be system-wide. It takes a good 5-10 seconds for the share menu to come up.
I cleared Dalvik and cache and the issue persists. Once, I took a screenshot and when I tapped "share" in the notification shade, it rebooted the phone. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? There's nothing else weird on my phone. I don't have Xposed or anything. It's just rooted.
I installed the application "appchooser" as a replacement for the system app chooser and now it's back to being fast like it was, but I'm trying to confirm whether or not anyone else has seen this issue after the update, as it's definitely something i have never seen before.
No issues here
I just performed the same steps and my share menu options come up for me instantly, but the only options I have beside the default are Skype and LINE. I would suggest trying to uninstall the Reddit apps, then try again and see if it's still slow. If that resolves it, I would write to the developer of the Reddit app and make them aware of the behavior.

Thanks. The thing is, it was coming up instantly in both apps before the Cyanogenmod update. And it's weird that it wouldn't affect a share app replacement like appchooser.

Quite... I'm on 30O as well. It's a rather bizarre issue isn't it. Nonetheless, I'd try what I recommended first. This is the troubleshooting process mate. It's a process of elimination.
I have two One's both updated to 4.4.4 and both share functions are messed up. It's definitely the software. Here's how I came to that conclusion. One of my phones is stock everything, no mods and or root. I took the ota the conventional way. The share feature no matter what app I'm using displays an black screen. The second phone is modded, rooted, custom recovery, and it was updated manually using Caulk's modded files. Its share function does exactly the same thing as the non modded phone does. It worked fine on 4.4.2

Well that's quite bizarre then. I have unlocked, rooted, with OTA 30O and my sharing functionality works just fine. I've shared several things since my update as well.
Report the issue on the official CM site so the developers can look into it.

Thanks for confirming. Nice to know I'm not crazy (or the only one).
A workaround for now is to install a different app picker app. This one works really well and has helped me keep my sanity: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.noxi.apppicker&hl=en

Worked like a charm, there's an extra step but I can live with that. I wonder if I could set it as the default app, maybe move it to the system priv-app.

You should be able to set it as your default app chooser. I did.
I have been trying to find that option in settings but don't see it, I see the set SMS app. Usually on a TW or non CM ROM it always asks you the default app but it didn't ask me. Maybe I'll try clearing defaults and see if that helps.

Nah. The first time you share something after you install it, you should have the "always" and "just once" options.
Strange because Google Chrome doesn't give me that option. I understand what your saying. What I did was installed a different browser and sure enough it asked which default app I wanted to use. So I cleared Chrome and same as before it doesn't ask me for the default app. So I think it might be the updated chrome.

OK, so honest question... What's wrong with the built-in chooser? I mean, what's the advantage to using a third-party one? I generally prefer to run as close to native as possibly for performance reasons and to avoid bugs just like this one.

Did you read ANY of the thread? The bug is in the stock chooser, at least for us. We're only using a third party one to circumvent the bug.
To answer your question, the only real advantage otherwise is that you can remove things you don't want to see on your share menu. So, if you NEVER share to Google+, for instance, you can remove it so it doesn't show up as an option. You can restore these later, if you want them back.

Nice! Glad you got it working. I use Chrome Beta as my default browser.
I misunderstood then because I thought it was the app you were having issues with. In that case, I refer back to my first reply. I am also using the stock chooser and have not had this issue after updating, so it seems it's not universal. For whatever reason you guys got the bug while I did not.

It's amazing how much damage theming does. It even causes issues with Play Store.
Yeah, sadly there are some issues, but this is the biggest I found.
How long does the share menu need to show up on your phones? On my OPO it needs about 1 sec in chrome and under 1 sec in every other app.
I have a feeling that the menu opened quicker before...

I'm having this issue too and its so frustrating. It started happening when I updated to Marshmallow. I'm using the default theme, so it's probably not what causes it for me. Sharing from Youtube isn't slow though, but that's a different menu I guess.
Any suggestions?

Isn't there supposed to a be new camera with Android 5.0?

I just installed Android 5.0 and I thought the Camera was supposed to be updated w/ manual focus, .dng photos, manual exposure, etc? I do not see that anywhere.
I don't see it in the stock camera either. The only one I know that supports DNG so far is L Camera.
