Hey guys!
I've finally taken the plunge and done the whole ordeal to my HTC One S, installed a new rom and all. Not that i haven't done it before though.
I really enjoy that i have the freedom to choose my own apps now, that i haven't really got any bloat anymore. But on the other hand it's proven to
be a challenge to find fitting apps to fill in the gaps.
Can anyone recommend a good facebook client? i'm currently using flipster, and honestly it's decent. but i'd like something more in line with the material guidelines. there's no way i'm returning to the official facebook client.
and how about a camera app? i've searched everywhere, and it seems borderline impossible to find a camera that's lightweight, is capable of taking photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio and not be a total mess.
So what do you guys use?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, i'll check it out!
yeah, that's true, but tastes vary i guess. i've also tried "fast" and others, they just didn't appeal to me.
facebook lite ?? very small
Yeah, i gave that a go, it just wasn't very pleasant. Very barebones and rough. But thanks for the suggestion!

I've recently discovered how cool having an 8 MP camera with me all the time is, and I wanted to know if people knew of cool apps that added something to the phones picture taking ability (editing pictures, taking them, etc).
Also, my friend and I are kind of in a battle of who can take better pictures. He has an iphone, so I kind of don't want to lose this one haha. He's actually good at photography, so I'm already starting behind the 8 ball...but I'm determined!
fx camera is nice for pre-made filters.
I agree, fx Camera and another one is PicSay Pro but it's more on the lines of after effects.
PicSay Pro is actually really useful. I've used it to show off the capabilities of Android a lot, and I really like it

I'm really liking the toy camera feature in fx camera. Is it me, or do the shots seem to have a slightly lower resolution than the standard camera?
if you want full rez with a bunch of really cool filters try vignette, frankly i think its the best camera app out there
FX is amazing, but you might want to try out vignette.
it can get complex with all of the filters and effects, but it's pretty cool
Ha nice PicSay work there. I was at a wedding the other day and there were little hats on the table, so of course I got creative with my fingers, the hats, and my Evo
Here's the results lol
Tiny finger man coulda been better, but the mob one worked out really well lol

+1 for Vignette. A good camera/pic app was the one thing I was missing coming from the iPhone - where I loved Hipstamatic.
Vignette is awesome.
Try "Camera 360". It's great, has a refined UI that really makes it feel like a full featured camera and not just some app. Works great.

Really? I tried it and wasn't super impressed. Maybe I missed something though; what do you really like about it? (although I might go back just because it does seem to be able to take high resolution shots)

well the fact that its full rez, and the fact that certain filters need to have certain subjects in order to look good like this for example:
this is another
one i did while messing around with the london filter
anyway i think the default camera does a good job by itself,
Frelancerx, you have a great eye for photography, those pics look amazing.

+1 for vignette. Its has some really nice presets as well as custom features. Better than iphones hipstamatic imho.
So I've actually had this in the market for a few months now but never actually posted here. This was one of the first apps I created and it just sort of grew and got an assortment of features. So if anyone wants to give it a go here is the market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.flufflydelusions.app.extensive_notes&feature=search_result
If anyone finds this app too complex, do try my other app I've developed to address this issue. It has nearly all the same features though very easy to use. Here is the xda link:

I like this; "So many features, it's bordering on insanity."
This was the first app to make the App of the Week feature on my site. It's still one of my favorite apps I've ever used. Definitely the best notepad I've ever seen!

Awesome! I never knew about that. You should check out my other note app I am working on. Many people thought this app was too complex or the UI to difficult so I am making an app that is feature rich yet simple to use. Here is the link to the thread:

Not yet though it's planned. Just a matter of finding the time. Working on a few other things also For now however you can create backups easily via extras>backup & restore.
Pro vs. Lite?
What's the difference between the Pro and regular version?

Pro just has settings such as default sort, login screen, theme etc. No loss in functionality.

Was the first app I bought for my new Galaxy SII. Crazy amount of features.
+1 for sync! PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
Edit: Nevermind.
Love this POWERFUL app. But love to have the following changes in the upcoming version.
1. Memorize the settings selection in Extra. E.g. "from" and "to" language for Google Translate, Currency converter.
2. Sorted list for Currency. (e.g. ANG > BHD > VEF ...etc). It's quite hard to find the currency I am looking for the current implementation.
Just downloaded it, very nice app, seems to have LOADS of functionality.
Thank you very much
Glad you guys like it. Yes still lots of work to do with it
Just downloaded this. looks awesome, will be testing it today
Probably been asked a million times, but I can't find the answer, what is the best Facebook app? I need notifications at least every half hour, full features and speed. I bought friendcaster pro last year but lately it has been buggy and unusable, and the official app hogs data and is SLOW. Any help would be much appreciated

When I had Facebook and all that I used Seesmic. A lot better than stock, doesn't hog too many resources, sync works fairly well, overall a awesome app if you hate the stock FB app.
Nevermind, can't give you a link because I don't more than 10 posts.
Goodluck, and let me know what you think! :good:

Tried and hated it. I want a dedicated Facebook app that supports more features, the Facebook side of it felt too basic, thanks for suggestion though but its more of a twitter app

I never knew there was an alternative to the stock Facebook app.
I hate Facebook stock. Wish they made a better one, but I haven't found anything that has the same/similar features.

Yep, there is. In fact, type in "facebook alternative" in the Play Store and you will see there are several. The one I currently use is FBMX - Another Facebook Client. It seems to be faster -- and more reliable -- than the stock one and does everything I need it to do. I used to use Friendcaster too, but I agree that it has gotten too buggy lately; I liked it better before it became overly popular.

I don't do a whole lot on FB so it works great for me. Facebook Stream for Android could be worth looking into. If that one doesn't work for you then I'm outta ideas.:fingers-crossed:
Hello everyone!
My question is rather simple, which applications do you use as an alternative to the stock camera app?
I would like to hear opinions of people who have tried more of them and decided in the end for something else than stock.
Maybe also list pros and cons for each.
Thank you very much for your help!

We use stock, so...why do you what to change it anyway?
It' s very good.
Thank you for your reply. Personally, for me it's the interface where I need to go into Settings for any adjustment. Moreover, HDR is limited only to 8MP. And more choice when it comes to scene modes would be nice.

In PlayStore you'll find some alternatives.
Some are paid apps, but just read the Description and the Reviews, to make up your mind.

Thank you for trying to help, however what I'm interested in are experiences of people with different apps. For example, I was recommended Manual Camera app which turned out to be quite useless without the new API being supported by this phone.
I use Camera FV-5 and like it best...tried some others (stock, a better camera, google camera) and for editing i like pics art...

I search for another camera app too. The stock camera app doesn't include effect for high res photo (8MP or more). Also, it doesn't produce vivid color like Samsung/LG G3 stock camera app. Up until now, i use Camera360 in its easy mode.
Very usefull, and i think its better in some aspect (like saturation and effect).
But i'm still looking for the best app.
Try Snap cam. I use it all the time. It takes great shots
I'm looking for a gallery to use as the stock one is terrible in my opinion. And it got even worse after the last update - no control over the albums. No options at all and ugly, scattered interface.
I tried google photos but it's not better... Tried a couple more from PlayStore which were also bad... I'm coming from LG and their gallery is amazing, but I couldn't run the .apk on OP6.
So, I'm curious to know if someone else here thinks the same and have found a better gallery app to use?
Nothing beats Google Photos app.

I have been using App Simple Gallery for the last few months. It serves my purpose, may be worth looking into that. It has a free version, try that first.

QuickPic was sold and now dirty from useless options. I prefer Simple Gallery - IMO best old QuickPic clone.
