TW auto focus mod?? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there any developers out there that know how to add back the "real" auto focus in the camera apk? I have really come to hate that so called auto focus we have which is more like a continues focus but I like the stock tw camera ui. Id like it to auto focus when I touch the shutter button and instantly take the pic once in focus, like it used to do.
Please no suggestions on using a different app.

HTC Camera App for Vanilla FroYo?

Hey all,
I know last time Paul O'Brien ported HTCCamera.apk to the N1, but I haven't seen any announcement of the version from 2.2 being ported. Googling turns up nothing. Has this been accomplished?
I just moved over to CM6rc3 and am missing my tap-to-focus :-(
The latest nightly has tap-to-focus on the camera.
I just found it on 6.0.1 - you tap the settings icon from within the camera app and then scroll down to an area where you can set tap to focus, autofocus, or none.
That is one of the very few things that is keeping me from CM6... the HTC camera app allows you to tap to focus as well as auto focusing when you actually take the picture.
The CM6 camera app only allows one or the other... so if you use tap to focus and suddenly need to focus on something else, you have to tap again. And auto focus is much slower than the HTC app in my opinion.
It's a good camera app, you just can't rely on it to take a quick picture. You'll have to hope whatever you're trying to shoot sits still for a bit.

[Q] To Moderators and Developers

hi respective seniors
i have something in my mind that i want to know is there any app {gallery apk}
which is based on the motion sensor of our device, it lota get bore by sliding the pics through fingures so can you suggest or make one motion based gallery in which photos are changed when we slide our mobile down or in left or right side by the use of motion sensor
thanks for consideration
Yes, there is.
I've tried modded gallery3D that can move and zoom in/out when we slide our phone.
I don't know if that app will work for any android phone or not. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Fit.
Btw, I'm not a moderator/developer.

[Q] Looking for a good camera app

Hi,
I tried several camera apps and there are many good ones. But i miss one feature which only is available in panorama apps and starts working from the second picture.
When i look back at the pictures, i notice the horizon is not always horizontal. So, i'm looking for an camera app with the level feature in it. For example it beeps when i hold the phone horizontal. Is there such an app ?
thanx.

Which Camera App Do You Use?

The on-going debate about the S3's camera when using Touchwiz vs. an AOSP ROM made me wonder about the camera apps itself. Which camera app do you primarily use? Coming from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I actually miss the AOSP camera app (where you have the touch-wheel that lets you adjust settings on the fly). The stock TW camera app isn't quite as intuitive (e.g. to change white balance, I have to press the Options button and scroll down through a litany of settings just to change it).
I've been tempted to try OTHER camera apps, like Camera MX. Does anyone have a preference?
Snap camera. Easy. Love it. There is a thread here somewhere where the developer is active in it.

I had been using this camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.camerajbplus&hl=en until getting onto 4.3.1, whenever I use a 3rd party camera, it's fails and then no app can connect to the camera, I have clear the cache and dalvik cache to get the stock camera to work. But if the the jb+ camera works for you I'd recommend it. I use this camera when I'm not in a rush https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en (there's a lite version too I think) It just gives you complete control of your camera. It's great for arty fartsy stuff but if you need to take a quick photo it might not be the best the app.
Stock Camera
I use the stock camera, but I just downloaded VSCO Cam, I'll see if its any good.

Actually I completely agree with you. It is fairly childish but honestly Note 2 on CM11 this app works better than the currently alternative. Hence my excitement
Missing options
i do have an issue, there's no panorama, and no photo sphere, even tho i have this options on my cm11 camera
Apparently Google is leaning towards "dumbing things down" by removing the more complex capabilities in some of their native apps by making them so simplistic as to literally become "point and shoot," especially with respect to this particular camera app. But when you think about it, the overwhelming majority of smartphone owners want just that: a device that works, that's simple to use, and doesn't require a huge set of menu options to just "point and shoot" and get good/useful results so, I suppose it's a winner in that manner for sure.
Tried it a few times, doesn't seem particularly special or useful over some other camera apps like Focal or others. Doesn't seem to do HDR natively and there's no option to enable it so that relegates this app to "ok, I tried it and then I uninstalled it" status for me.
For me its not better than LG G2 modded cam app.
The issue with me is that the CM11 Camera app gets stuck too often hence this is a great alternative
It is good, the only problem for me is when the flash is on and I tap to focus and than to take a picture theres a lag of about 5 seconds. Anyone have this problem? Also no HDR mod, and my camera have that option.
I'm having FC on settings option, on carbon kitkat in Samsung i9070.
love the lens blur mode. Any more cam apps that have this option?
I like it.
Yes the settings option does FC the app but honestly at this current moment, its better than the default camera app.
actually, the only setting i would change is 16:9 ratio, nothing else.
if some1 knows a shortcut for this...?
Good to know, may need to try this out, with custom roms i found a few the camera app always frooze or crashed

I've tried to change the settings thru the preferences files saved in \\data\data\com.googleCamera\shared_prefs\, but I couldn't change the resolution to the max, only the grid, flash, etc.
I want to change the "photosphere" and the "lens blur" to max resolution.
Any Idea?
let me try
Going to download it now and give a try in my grand i9082
I'll be trying it out on my Galaxy S2 with PACROM 4.4.2
Someone minds uploading it somewhere and sharing the link, I can find it on play store but it says its not available in my country I find that weird as its just a camara application...
Thanks in advance...
