There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the Huawei Nexus 6P can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Usually really good if you double tap the power button, but the camera app is actually a bit slow.
HDR could be a bit faster.
I've noticed sometimes I can double tap the power button and get the camera app up almost instantaneously, focus is instant and everything's great. Other times, it lags just a tad or messes up and shows the lock screen with (I presume the camera running in the background). But overall I'm very happy with it especially coming from the Nexus 5 where it took a good 15-30sec from launch to focus, shoot, and process.
It's a billion times faster to launch, focus, take HDR, and process photos than my Nexus6 was.
Normal mode is good. HDR mode is still slow. Iphone still wins in the speed category.
Picture quality is a toss up with the Nexus 6P having more color or pop to the picture, similar to Samsung. Iphone is more subdued colors and possibly more realistic.
6P pictures are so much better than previous Nexus phones. I would guess that some software updates will address the speed.
I vote it as Average. Way too often the camera takes a long time to open, and/or the shutter button to be active
It's pretty quick and about on par I'd say with my iphone 6plus of hitting the home button and swiping up on the little camera icon on the bottom corner of the screen like how android has. Seems like the actual photo taking procedure is about on par with my iphone as well.
The only thing I wish I could change (if anyone knows how) is to use a different camera app when I double tap power button or swipe up from the camera icon on the lock screen. I prefer the proshot app as it seems to just snap faster pics than the stock app and when you're dealing with things like dogs or kids that won't sit still, that's huge.

Oh, that's easy. Go into the details of the Google Camera app (you can get to it from App Info through Nova Launcher or go into Applications and tap on Camera. Then tap on Open by default, and then on Clear Defaults. Next time you double tap the power button, Android will ask you which Camera app you want to use to handle this action by default.

Unfortunately, it looks like ProShot is missing the proper definitions for Android to see it as a Camera App that can be launched. Time to send some feedback:
On par with others, but not any faster. The HTC One M8/M9 and Moto X Pure seemed slightly faster.
I agree the double tap power button is pretty great after you get used to it but the camera would delay a bit sometimes( like 1-2sec)
Since putting a custom rom and kernel I get absolutely no lag whatsoever. double click and by the time i have it up in picture taking stance its ready.
Anyone else noticed the front facing camera pics are flipped??

You mean when you take the photo the phone automatically flips it? If so, this is normal.
Camera very often takes upwards of 5 seconds to load.
Camera very cool for my
No doubt camera is really cool.
camera definitely better than my iPhone6s Plus but camera software slow especially camera launch speed.it would be if it was more quicker than now
The shutter speed is great. I've known cameras to be slow (Samsungs, I'm looking at you) but this camera opens really fast and I'm able to snap a picture in a matter of seconds. <3

Wow. This is absolutely amazing. Great way to promote your app. Will it be activate on all future devices with my play store account?
I really have no complaints. Small things could be improved like the smoothness of resizing the window. Overall this is a fantastic application. I hope you make more floating apps seeing as you clearly put quality first.
Edit: I do have one complaint. When Notification Launch is enabled, the X button on the top right corner of the window is redundant. Either remove it or provide an option to remove it as the window can be closed from the notification.
Great idea, bad outcome
This whole app and idea is excellent. The app itself and it's menu is also pretty good. But when you're actually using the camera, the photos are less then stellar. Is there an auto-focus feature? Such as tapping the screen to auto focus? I really like the idea but the photos are not coming out good.

Could be an issue with your phone. Mine auto focuses. But you are talking about manual focus where you tap the screen, it focuses and then you tap the shutter button to take the picture.

There's an auto-focus when you tap the window, and, as it was said before, when you click the shutter button.
Currently there's no manual focus as the window size is usually too small to determine the exact location that the user wanted to focus, we thought that an auto-focus would be much better.

First of all thanks for the great feedback, we'll look into the 'x' removal option and check it with our beta group.
Second, the promotion is locally stored, which means it'll be removed on uninstall and won't be activated on future devices. It is a 'getting to know' promotion and our way of returning something to the xda community.

So the promotion is not tied to the account but to the device?
Either way, I think this app is very well done. I was able to get a force close playing with it for a few minutes by changing Snapy mode to no notification. For some reason, it stayed in my notification panel, but when I tried to click settings from there it crashed. I can't seem to replicate it anymore though, so all is well.
This is a very well made app. It is smooth and reliable. I will definitely be using this quite a lot for those moments when you need to take a picture fast.
IJust purchased an unlock.
Love the app, has a great interface and handy to have... but have some feedback.
1) the option to upgrade on the free version is currently spelled "upgrage"
2) even after purchase, I am still nagged to buy you a coffee... I have already purchased, so why am I nagged to give you more money?
3) the Resolution of pics are limited to 7 megapixel when my camera is capable of more.
4) possible integration as an extension for 'floating notifications'?
Please see what can be done to address this feedback... It's really good, just some niggles.

May I know if I can disable the camera sound?
Really Awesome , Handy App.. Thanks DEV!
Thanks, works pretty well.
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.

Only getting 2.1mp images from my Nexus 5 running 5.1 and there's no option to change it to 8mp
Also the video is 720p only and video quality is very bad.
Ui is perfect, bet the viewfinder is rather slow, and focus as well.
Add some more options to the gallery, like showing all picture folders.
Improve these things and i have a new daily driver!
I love the design however it looks too identical to the one on iOS, try making the design your own? Something unique but good looking.
You should add exposure functions and other camera functions. If that happens I will definitely ditch Google Camera for this.
Looks good so far. Is there an option for HDR?
Need a panorama mode and a settings section otherwise great app
Getting "Fail to connect the camera. Please turn off the flash or reboot your phone and try again." Tried rebooting and it stay this way. Google camera works fine. I'm using Samsung Captivate i897 running OMNIrom 5.0.2 Lollipop
i tried it on my nexus 5 , the video quality is very low and there is no option for change it !!
thank you for this application
OK, I tried this out a bit earlier and I'm digging the filters.. My only question is whether or not a soft back button can be implemented? It would make switching from the camera to another app a lot easier, instead of having to click on the gallery/last picture I snapped to get that functionality..
Only black in preview screen.. but capture is ok..

Hello, everybody. I'd like to tell here, why i think, that a camera launcher or a physical camera button is very useful. Maybe your opinion is different. If you want to share your opinion, feel free posting in this thread.
I already posted a thread here, asking how to get a camera launcher on the Homescreen of the Note 3's Android 4.3.
So, the quality of Smartphone Cameras isn't bad, but far under a RX100 III (m3) or a Lumix FZ1000 or a Samsung NX500, but it's very mobile. It's portable. Most of the time, people always have their PDA's, wherever they go.
And sometimes, you've also got your PDA in your hands.
But what will you do, if your phone is on Stand-By, and you quickly have to capture a moment? If you haven't got a quick launcher in the standby menu, or if you can't use a quick-launcher, without typing in your lockscreen-code, password or pattern, if you have one, there's a danger of missing a valuable moment.
Three solutions (types of Camera-Launchers) are:
1. A physical shutter button. Launching the Camera by holding the physical shutter button down for 0.3 Seconds. The camera application should also load in this 0,3 Seconds. Not after the 0,3 seconds, where you hold the button. It should also work from the lockscreen, without needing to unlock the screen. But it should also work, if the device is in standby mode. A good idea would be, if the device automaticly takes a photo, after the camera-application started by triggering the launcher, but before loading the preview (viewfinder).
Devices:
Samsung Omnia 2 GT-i8000
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom and K Zoom (S5 Zoom)
Sony Xperia Z1/higher - includes compact models
Planned for Note 5 (not confirmed yet)
Nokia Lumia 830,925,930,1020,1030,more
Nokia 808,6220c,6111
Advantages:
Real Camera Feeling
2-Level (Focus→Shoot)
Quick Launch - Quick Camera Shortcut from everywhere
No real disadvantages present. Accidental camera launching isn't so plausible.
2. Virtual Camera Launcher on Lockscreen

}
Advantages:
Much Faster than searching your apps to find the camera on the home screen or app drawer.
No additional disadvantages in comparrison, not to have such a launcher.
Disadvantages:
You can miss it, if you aren't careful
You first have to go to the lock screen. (No INSTANT Camera Launch)
Not physical
...but very useful. - Much better than searching thorugh the app drawer. :laugh:
No additional disadvantages in comparrison, not to have such a launcher.
3. Galaxy S6 / LG G4: Quick Double-Press - Quickly launch the camera (G4: and instantly take a photo like the OneShot-Feature in CameraMX does) by double-pressing a specific button in row.
Advantage: Works instantly, even in standby mode
…and from everywhere.
Advantage: No need to unlock the screen
Advantage; It's physical
Theoretically possible on every phone with home key (physical is better for that.)
Advantage (G4) - instant photo shot.
Disadvantage: Does not replace the physical camera button, which gives you some camera feling.
Disadvantage (S6): Replaces S-Voice-Launcher, but Camera has a higher priority than S-Voice.
Disadvantage (G4: ) Unusual position
The mentioned launchers only work, if the device is switched on/in standby
Those launchers have very limited permissions, if your device is locked with a password, a code or whatever. Those conditions make sense
Permissions (Things, that should be possible through the camera launcher)
Modify camera settings
Use all camera features
Sony's Xperia Devices have the virtual lockscreen launcher and the physical camera shutter (button). But using them, without entering your code/pwd/etc. will restrict you to modify camera settings (e.g. resolution) or using other camera features (like Manual mode or 4K-Video Recording). If you try to use them, the device will ask you to enter your code.

Restrictions (Things, that must not be possible through the camera launcher)
Can't view/delete/... photos/videos, which are already present on the device/SD-Card.
Bypassing the lockscreen, if locked with password
The physical shutter button is my favourite
But the other two types of camera launcher are also very good.
On the Note 3, quick launch is not possible, If the lockscreen has a Password lock.
I wish, Samsung had the quick launch idea (Double-Homebutton) earlier, or kept the physical shutter key.
I can't count the number of good moments I missed on my first phone because it took about 45 seconds just to get the camera open. Camera shortcuts ftw. Can't live without it now.
You know, worldstar and all that /s :highfive:

Quick Camera is app help me take picture/photo by one click into icon. Quick Camera lets me to do secret spy shots in front of people and nobody sees that.Thanks you so much. :good:
Nice app, and works
What's good: it is really fast, usually cam programs take some time to take a photo, this program is quickest method for taking photos i ever seen so far.
Good idea
Just a huge difference, see screenshots.
First one is quick camera, second one is stock google camera
Pretty cool, Wouldn't mind seeing some other features. Like separate icon to use front camera and one for back, maybe videos would be nice to ?
I have a s4 and it's taking nothing but black pictures. Might have something to do with light exposure, cause I do see my window lol.. but anything in my room is completely dark. ( it's 10am and my room is lit up from the sun) here's some test shots showing what I mean.
Last one is from default cam app

thanks for your feedback. I will check the app
It's great! But maybe you could add a 1 sec delay (or even less) so that it can focus and also adjust the brightness?
