When HTC and Samsung came out with burst camera in their quad core devices we were all excited by one of the camera feature "Burst shot mode"
But now thanks to Spritefish we can now have the same experience on our Android devices and you don't need to have the One X or S3
Fast Burst Camera has made its way onto the Play Store and it does exactly what we were looking for. Simply hold down the button and you can snap up to 30 frames in a single second if your device allows it. The free version works just fine, but has a few ads which can seem intrusive. For $4, you can buy the pro version which unlocks some additional features such as auto-focus and lighting settings. View the video below to see some real life experiences with the application and see if it could help you take some neat shots.
Note : due to the high speed, pictures are not taken in the highest resolution possible.

Seems a must-have app for my SGS2 CM9! Thx!

Lags and quality is inferior
Xperia mini

This isn't new... it's old... very old. Still a great app nonetheless!

Great app! Does it take pictures in full quality though?

With that kind of pic resolutions, I might be better off by just shooting a video and extracting those frames manually afterwards.

Used the app on my galaxy note, I am amazed by its ability. Just the image quality needs improvement. I tried the lite version though, anyone see any difference in the pro version?

When I read the portal news piece I was anticipating a tool to take rapid fire full resolution pics. While my G2X doesn't have a dedicated camera processing chip but it is still a dual core Tegra phone. I was disappointed to continue reading and discover it was about an app I've had on my phone for nearly a year. Don't get me wrong, I really like the app but it wasn't what I was expecting. Kinda bummed because the stock ROM camera software was pretty good and could do six photo bursts at 2MB but the ROM sucked monkey balls. Still recommend fast bust camera a long a you have plenty of light.

lower the resolution and it wont lag
and that app is made for high quality devices

The burst speed is incredible, no lag but the resolution is very low (800*480 insead of 2000*1600)
Envoyé depuis mon Blade

Yeah 800*480 with no lag really isn't impressive nowadays and the pictures are useless at that resolution.

Nice app. It would be great if we could adjust the shutter speed manually.

Note that this will give you a bad result, as the video is compressed and ripping pictures from this compressed stream will give pictures with compression artifacts in them.

This app was the free app of the day on Amazon last year, it is in no way new.
I used it for a while but image quality is not the best. Improve image quality and I may be tempted to give it another try.

i get lag and quaility is a little low

Tempted to buy but not being able to test a proper res with focus is a bit dud.
103 Frames in about 12s (Gif cuts off the end a tad)

Fastest camera App is easy and free available on Android Market, I can take easily burst of pictures 5 up to 10 pictures per second. Fastest camera App good for my Smartphone.

I've been looking for this function in my phone. Always seemed odd that it didn't come with it out of the box...
Thanks for the app!

[APP][2.3+] Miniature Preview Camera released

Hi,
Today I have released free camera app named "Miniature Preview Camera".
Miniature Preview Camera
The following is a link to apk.
View attachment 2373645
You can capture miniaturized photo with real time preview.
Miniaturized photo is created by so-called tilt shift effect. However,beautiful miniaturized photo also requires good photo composition and objects which matches up with tilt shift effect. So this app offers real time preview of tilt shift effect. You can capture the best miniaturized photo while you are watching result of effect.
It also offers test for EDIT mode which makes you to add tilt shift effect to the image in gallery.
This is my first camera app.
I am worried the fact that behavior of android camera is very dependent on the device.
So I would appreciate if you could try it and give me some feedback.

Care to add the apk for those who cannot access the Play Store? Thank you.

It works very well on Sony Xperia Z1.
Nice little app, thank you.

Works on Nexus 4 but crashed after a while when I adjusted the tilt shift effect.

Thank you for problem report. It really helps me.
Some of them may be caused by not difference of camera but GPU... It is tough to debug problem which I cannot reproduce but I will try.

Hi unknown25,
It is good to hear the fix. And yes, this app requires lots of computing power and can be slow on some devices. Implementing performance improvement needs a little time but I will do it in next major update.

Doesn't focus in nexus 4. Thanksssss

Hi gyokzoli, luiseteyo
Thank you for your report. I will get Nexus4 and try it.

Can you post the apk in the first post for those of us preferring not to use the Play Store? Thanks in advance.
Edit: App works fine on CM10, only issue is preview is stretched.

Crashed on LG G2 (D802) when trying to adjust zoom slider. Worked when adjusting effect slider. Picture captured.

The Play store says this app isn't available for my phone (Nexus 4). I can find it using the play store app either, only the Pro version.

Camera app with separate exposure and focus

Does anyone know of a camera app that allows for separate exposure and focus. There are tons of option on iOS that do this (Camera+, Camera Awesome, etc...). On my jailbroken iPhone 4s I was even able to tweak the stock camera to do this.
I was thrilled to see Camera Awesome finally come to Android, only to learn that this feature is not supported on the Moto X.
I thought this might be a shortcoming of the underlying android camera functionality, but Camera Awesome lets you do this on the HTC One. Is this somehow limited by specific manufacture? I'm willing to pay for this feature, but I can't find an app that let me do this on the Moto X.
I've tried Camera Zoom FX, which lets you use the volume rocker to adjust exposure. But thats just not the same as being able to touch what you want in focus, then touch where you want to meter the exposure.
I also looked at Camera FV-5, and Vignette. There are both decent apps, but nothing I've found lets you use a 2-finger tap to separate focus selection and exposure.
Does anyone know how to bring this to the Moto X?

No, I didn't realize that. Looking at the camera now (I have version 3.1.5) I don't see a way to do that. The only setting that is close it being able to set the focus point. If I try to tap and hold, or drag my finger to set a different exposure point it just takes mulitple photos.
How do you get an exposure square to show up?
If it matters I'm on Republic Wireless with Android 4.2.2. Is that the issue?
Thanks for the help!

Look for Focal in the play store
It's buried a bit in the app's settings but it is there

Yes that is the issue. This functionality is added in 4.4

Im running 4.4 with Camera version 3.1.41 and it has it....

4.4 has this feature? How do you separate exposure from focus? I see that I can drag the circle around, but isn't that setting both the exposure AND the focus? OP wants to set exposure and focus on separate points.

Although it is still in beta, "focal" in the app store is free and awesome and has separate focus and exposure points. It is buggy but gives you a ton of control.

As others have mentioned, the app Focal. Just make sure you set the image size correctly, or you'll get a blank pic.

[APP] [2.0+] Front Facing Flash (3F)

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

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

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 :\

Cam results?

Hi,
I got CM 11S flashed on my Chinese OPO, boot loader unlocked and rooted.
But the cam results are terrible.
1. Front camera though 5MP has better results.
2. Main camera, in Auto mode wit Flash set at auto, doesn't flash in darkness, if for some reason it does the pic results are so dull, creamy unsharp, despite that its a 13MP.
3. Flash sensor issues?
4. I got great results with Color OS initially......... and later when previously flashed CM 11 S over Color, they weren't that bad either..........may be by chance the the Color cam got ported over CM 11S?
5. So disappointed plan on going back to Color.
Any suggestions, recommendations,
Thanks.

Yeah, i'm not a fan of the camera. AT ALL.
Some things that bug me about the One's camera:
1) pictures look destaurated and color's don't pop.
2) exposure is too dark in almost all cases
3) sharpness is no where near my nexus's 5 stock camera.
Nexus 5's camera is MUCH better.
Unless someone can tell me how to improve this, I just hate the one's camera. sucks.

When I got it CM 11S with cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot OR cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed results of cam were not bad.
But with this OPO_64GB cam sucks.
Thanks.

For the camera, I don't know what to tell you, but it sees like you just want to modify the camera shutter and exposure settings to your preference. Or you can go into the themes/app section and reflash the stock camera.

I would have to manually over expose the camera EVERY TIME i launch the camera app. Annoying.
I've already installed Google Camera. The stock OnePlus camera and some other ones from the play store.
They all give the same results.
It's fundamentally a camera sensor issue.

Yea, that sounds amiss; personally, I haven't had any noticeable issues with my camera.
But shouldn't the settings persist though, so you don't have to do it EVERY time?

Am a a bit confused........does the Color cam give bad results or CM 11S cam?
Stock OnePlus camera and Google camera have similar results.....What do you imply by stock OP cam?
Is Google cam available at GPS, should I try installing it over CM 11S?
Camera sensor issues are with Color OS?
Thanks.

Guys, it's a matter of knowing how to use a smartphone camera properly. Point and shoot just doesn't cut it for all situations.

I have seen some complaints but for the less than two days I have had this phone camera has been wonderful.
Outside in good light is on par with most flagships in my opinion and low light is OK but have seen few phones that are better.
Been using slimkat with Google camera and response time is great with auto mode
