Hello XDA Members!!
I love the front facing camera on my phone but hate how there is no flash on the front. Well i made an app that would allow you to shed a little light on the situation.
Its quite simple to use!
Find the app 3F in your app drawer and click it.
It will launch your default camera app
Now you will see a button in the center of your screen with "Ready?" in the center.
{
"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"
}
Once you have finished setting any special effects for configurations for the camera, click the "Ready?" button.
Now your screen will seem to have a whitish film over it. You are then instructed to click the shutter button.
Now the screen is entirely white, this is the flash. After you clicked the shutter button, there will be a red dot visible signifying where the shutter button is.
Now all you need to do is click the red dot to take the actual picture. Once the picture is taken you can review it, however, if you hit "discard" you will need to leave the app and restart 3F to have the flash again.
But thats it! Simple!
I am gonna try to make an xposed module to further simplify this so there won't be any further setup. Simply open your camera app, and another button will appear on your screen, this button will toggle 3F. Once you hit the shutter button, it will automatically show the flash or not depending on your settings.
Hope you guys enjoy this! Hit thanks!! Donate if you feel generous! Thanks everyone!
Here is a with and without picture of me. I know im hideous, don't mean to make your eyes bleed!!
this is awesome! Do you think you will bring it to the Play Store?
Awesome, thanks!

The idea is great but is not saving the pictures of my ugly face, tried it with normal camera app and Camera Awesome on CM 10.2.1 on a Galaxy S4 1337m
Edit: Found them at storage/emulated/0/pictures/Front Flash Pictures
Where do the images get saved? I can't seem to find them

Nice concept but unfortunately it doesn't work very well when the screen brightness is set to "auto". In a relatively dim environment, when 3F would be most useful, the screen is typically also rather dim, greatly decreasing the amount of light reaching the subject. Ideally it would be great if 3F could temporarily force maximum brightness, providing a better flash-like light. Looking forward to future enhancements...
awesome!!
This is just AMAZING! great job!

It does go to what it seems to be maximum brightness on mine. I even tested it with Screen Filter on and it was really nice.

It does set full brightness but I forgot about people with auto brightness enabled. I'll just disable that first then when my app is left I'll enable it again (only if enabled when my app was started)
Very glad to see people enjoying it! I'll have the xposed module up sometime this week hopefully. Got a bunch of school projects to do tho :\

Hi,
I've been developing a photographic light meter app for Android. It has got the stage where it is almost ready for release, so I want to ask for your help with a spot of beta testing to work out the kinks!
The app can be downloaded here (just unzip the apk, put it on your sd card and install from there).
In a nutshell, what the app does is take a reading of the current light level, and display the correct exposure settings, it can also be used as a regular exposure and depth of field calculator. It should be fairly intuitive to use, but if you have any problems just post up and I'll try and help!
Ideally what I need is the make and model of your phone, if metering worked, how (in)accurate the metering was and any other comments/notes
Note: Landscape orientation is not finished, so expect weird layout issues there!
Thanks for the help!

Hi - it's not of great interest to me due to the fact I hardly take pictures with my phone, however I would have thought there would be masses of people killing for an app like this.
Here's hoping you get the response you need as we need to keep the developers like you around that come up with the niche applications for the community

Make of my phone is a Google Nexus One, Android version: Froyo 2.2 build# FRF91, Rooted (with 1-click root method)
some of the settings I found a bit confusing, for camera type I am not sure what you meant, I have a Panasonic "four-thirds system" so I choose that but I did not use my camera to compare to instead I used my handheld light meter (Sekonic Twinmate L-208), for device I selected HTC Hero, offset I left at zero...

Okay I get what you mean by camera type, you mean the type of camera I would need a light meter for, that being my Mamiya C220 which is a 6 x 6 format film camera:
I will re-test tomorrow in the light day
Just a question: Why would your app need to read phone state?

Actually, its the other one
I changed the package name and forgot to remove the old apk!
First bug found by NexuSix, the devices should be set to standard unless you have an HTC Hero, not the other way around! However the app should pick up which device your using automatically, the device state access is for the light metering, nothing to worry about but glad to see people paying attention to the permissions apps are asking for!
As for camera type, most DSLRs are APS-C, I'll change the names to make it a bit clearer
Be aware that the metering is only as accurate as the hardware in your phone, which might not be very accurate!
Thanks for the testing so far
Holy cow, this is amazing. I will try it out immediately.
I have a Nikon D40, which, apart from being good and cheap, has the best lens compatibility of any Nikon DSLR, including the professional ones. Downside is the meter doesn't work for pre-AI lenses. This app is going to change my life.
Wow, this is cool. I will test this with my X10 and see how it does.
EDIT: It says light sensor not found, but the X10 does have an ambient light sensor.
Wow! It's p pretty awesome!
But I can't make the dof work... Near, far, dof, always zero...

A few others have noticed some accuracy issues with the DoF calculation, which I'm looking into, but it should work.
Can you try these settings for me and let me know what it does?
EV - 13
f/16
Focal L - 50mm
Subject D. - 10m
Wow, this is cool. I will test this with my X10 and see how it does.

This will be because the app uses the standard Android API for accessing the light sensor, which some manufacturers have decided not to implement, I have found a workaround for the HTC Hero, I'll have a look into the X10
I'll try this app cause im a hobbyist photographer
Anyone try this on a MT3G Slide? My gf is a photography student and this app would probably "wow" her... I don't know a thing about camera settings, but I'd install this on her phone as a little surprise if it works...
Neat idea.
I try these settings, but I get this result (screen shot). I think there is a problem with units, when dof is too small its shows zero, as units are always meters.
On the other hand, in the screen shot, dof is 11000 m, but should be 11.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Ok thanks for the screen shot, I've updated the app, can you redownload and install and see if its fixed for me please?
Also the DoF will be displayed in whatever unit you select when setting the Subject D., it can also be switched to imperial units in the menus
Now it works ok!
Well almost... If you calculate dof, and then you press the trackball to meter, all dof values becomes zero.
Great app!

tried your app on my x10 mini pro.. it works!
but will force close when chose HTC hero in the settings..
and also force close when i press "up" of the volume rocker..
nonetheless, it works when i press "down"!

Simple Torch
This is a very simple app that just let's you turn your phone's flashlight on and off, so you can use it as a torch in the dark.
This app will not:
Share your grandma's birthday on Twitter
Claim to be a flashlight, but is just a white screen
Request every available permission
This app will do:
Load up super fast
Be a simple flashlight
Need only a single permission to access the flash
It does not look very fancy, because that would make it slower.
I made this app after i only found apps that wanted permission to read my mails, sms or similar - or needed years to load.
This is also my first app ever :good:
Screenshot:
On startup you should see this and the flash should turn on as well.
The app should also be able to run in the background. Use the back button to shut the app down.
I wanted to put this on the google play store - but they want $25 and my credit card info... meh.
Source:
GitHub: source code
Download:
See attachment.
Should i mention that you should not install this if you don't have a back camera or flash?
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S Advance; Android 2.3.6
Feedback more than welcome!
I have test it and it does wat you say.
Starts fast.
Chance something on the ui because the looks can be better.
I'm stil gonna use this app,so thnx and looking forwards to the updates.
Verzonden door mijn GT-I9300 met xda premium
Glad it works for you as well!
I would like to work on the interface, but im not the best designer, so cross your fingers
I hope it will still be as fast as it is now.
I also have some plans on a few settings.

Update:
After beeing very busy with other stuff, I uploaded the source code to github.
I edited the Thread, feel free to take a look
Thanks, this works great!
I've been using other app's for this, but they al took too long to boot up, and sometimes just shut down because i'd be opening ads …
Again, a nice interface would be nice, but not at the cost of boot time.
Thanks for your reply.
I thought about different things to make it look nicer but could not really think of anything that would work at the same speed.
e.g. a background image would still take time to load so that is out of question.
Tell me if you have any simple ideas to make it look better

Well, i thought about one thing …
When using the app in a dark environment, the white background can be blinding a bit, making it harder to see the actual light coming from the led.
Using a black background would give it more contrast.
Useful stuff.
P.S. Thanks for code)

I just found this and wanted to say thanks. I've tried a bunch of flashlight apps on my android, most were full of junk and/or didn't work.
This app works fine, doesn't do any BS in the background and has a small memory footprint - as an app like this should. Good job!
A black background and a bigger button would be better. I'll see if the code is easy to change.
EDIT: changing "Theme.Light" to "Theme.Black" in styles.xml and the button's width / height parameter in main_window.xml did the trick
could not be more perfect and elegant code
Great app.
At 40K??? Are you KIDDING? freaking awesome!!!!
Elegant design.
perfect in every way.
an app that does just what you want...and nothing you don't.
Keep up the good work, you will go far.
i really like the simplicity of your app, and the idea that you really want to help without taking anything from the user

Ambient LED Flashlight is the newest flashlight application for Android that is both easy to use, and convenient.
Whether you want a push on / push off button, shake to activate feature, or a light/dark sensor, this application does it all.
It uses the ambient light sensor on your device to determine whether to turn on or off the camera LED. This helps to save battery.
Features:
- Automatically turn on/off LED depending on the lighting condition
- Built in light meter (lux reader)
- Screen light
- Shake to activate
- Simple and beautiful UI
- NO ADS!

On nexus 4 the shake on feature makes it feel like a real battery operated flashlight in that it turns off if you shake it slightly too. There should be a minimum on length when shaken and possibly a setting allowing you to define that. I like it though good job.
Any chance to use the screen of the phone as the flashlight? That way it can sit on the fatboy pillow and charge and can be used as a night light for my daughter.

hi
working good on galaxy s3 4.2.2
Doesn't seem to work very well on Xperia Z.
Double clicking the Turn on button in the middle creates a FC.
Shake doesn't work with Stamina (expected though)
Had to reboot after turning off stamina to make it work aswell, Shook my phone like 5 times to get it to work.
But this looks great. Looking forward for future updates.
Wow! that's cool! Thanks!
Looks cool, will have to try it out.
It works great, except: 1) the Report Bug button was half hidden on my LG Optimus Vu 2 1024 x 768 screen, 2) not responding to the back button to exit.
Works on my Evo LTE except for the auto function.
I appreciate the feedback and thank you for everyone who downloaded my app. I'm working on bug fixes. Expect updates in the near future
Portrait Lens for Android Creates DSLR Focus Effect in Flat Photos
What’s the difference between a snap taken with a phone’s camera and a photograph made with a professional lens? It’s the DSLR focus effect when the important object is focused on and the background is blurred. It makes a photo look beautiful and natural. A new photo manipulation app called Portrait Lens lets you create the DSLR focus effect in photos that you have taken with the mobile phone’s camera.
Here’s how you can create the DSLR focus effect. To begin, take a snap or select a photo from the gallery. The next step is to create a mask by dragging your finger around the area you want to focus on and the background you want to blur out. No matter how complex the shapes of an object could be, the application recognizes the focus area and applies the effect. It also uses a soft finish to incorporate the blur into the photo without making it look sloppy. Once done, you can save the output photo in the desired resolution (up to 3 megapixels). If necessary, you can change settings such as sharpness/blurring and saturation separately for the background and subject.
Effects (separately for the background and foreground):
- brightness, hue, and saturation;
- sharpen and blur;
- reduce noise;
- pencil sketch.
Effects for the background:
- motion blur (value and angle).
Effects for the original image:
- auto levels;
- auto tone.

Installed it to try it.I started the quick tutorial that appears when you first run it. It doesn't get past this screen. None of the buttons work to advance the tutorial.
If I press back, I can use the application normally. But you might need to look at fixing the tutorial getting stuck. Unless that's all there is?
Works fine for me, including tutorial.
Tutorial and integration with the camera and gallery is actually quite well polished

I was just on Google+ discussing apps that create effects and whether they are good or bad for the photography industry.
That is another topic in itself but then I saw a post for this. I think this is a very promising app. Going to give it a test drive now.

This camera is nice but missing some options I really liked and used a lot. I had some nice cameras in the past on custom ROMs. Anybody know of any camera apps that give you more options? I'm looking for when you take a pic you can filter out certain colors. Not sure what the features are really called.

This camera is nice but missing some options I really liked and used a lot. I had some nice cameras in the past on custom ROMs. Anybody know of any camera apps that give you more options? I'm looking for when you take a pic you can filter out certain colors. Not sure what the features are really called.

Personally by far the best is 'A Better Camera'.
Besides being totally manual in its controls it has an immense amount of settings you can apply.
It's the only app that controls not just exposure and white balance but ISO as well.
Camera FV-5 shows it too can change ISO but the second you use it you soon notice the ISO never actually changes in the shot taken.
When you use A Better Camera ensure you swipe the screen twice to gain access to the options for each swipe.
How about camera 360?

If anyone is looking for a camera app that has lots of effects I found camera 2 and it's pretty cool.

Interesting.... I can see Metering, White Balance, Exposure and ISO.
Anything else?
Unfortunately the developer has not released a free or trial version thus making it difficult to download, especially when you have A Better Camera and Camera FV-5 to try before buying.
If it were based on filters alone I would chose the free and very good Camera 360 app.
However, I am always on the lookout for a great camera app and have not tried Camera 2.

I actually never heard of it. Went to best buy yesterday and I guess someone had installed it on an s5. So I tried it there and then bought it. It has those settings and pic effects. You should be able to buy and try it. Then if you don't like it you can refund. I've done that with many apps. I believe as long as you do the refund in I think 15 min

Thanks... You are right it is 15 mins and to be honest that's nowhere near enough time to try a camera app out.
Don't get me wrong, it may be a very good app but with only a 15 minute returns window on apps that obviously need much longer to test I wish it were mandatory for developers to offer you trials or lite versions.
Until then I'll pass but I'm very pleased you found an app you are happy with.
