[APP] Audio Trigger Beta

This project was abandoned. Further reading for reference.
What is Audio Trigger ?
It's a Android app that when detects a louder voice makes a photo, then it's shows you a preview and you select to save it or erase it. Also it have a force capture inside the app.
Not working
Louder audio detection
Perform a photo when loud audio detected
Any help it's thanked.
See you.

SferaDev, this looks awesome! I know its only in early stages, but its a great start. Really nice work
Thanks for the recognition too ;p

Would be quite interested in helping with this drop me a PM

The popular camera app - Camera FX Zoom - has this feature and i have been using it regularly.
Actally i have a suggestion. How about trigger the audio recording when there is louder sound. That will be useful whenever i fight with my boyfriend
Or how about make it generic, make it a Tasker plugin so that we can decide what to do when louder sound is detected. I will definitely buy it (up to $5) if such a Tasker plugin is available.
Good luck

The idea is that when he detects the sound he makes the photo and shows a preview and you select if you wanna save it !

Camera Zoom Fx it's a Camera Api not based in Googles one, so its compatible with Audio Trigger ! When doing the photo it asks what to use !

Hi hotelier1984!
I love your idea of recording audio during capture! Could produce some awesome results.
The main difference between this and a sound trigger in a app like CameraZoomFX would be the speed of capture. The original idea stems from use of two different apps. I'll quote the original thread for more info:
Hi Everyone!
My names Mike, and I'm an artist working in the UK. I've had an idea for an art project for quite some time now, and in the process of working through the details I believe a component of it could be solved using an Android Application. The idea for the application would be to have a camera that is always at the ready and will snap a picture every time a certain level of audio input is reached. Now, this will be slightly different to your average 'Audio Trigger' in the sense that the camera will have to be able to take pictures at an incredibly fast pace. Two, three, four or more a second if possible.
Obviously, Ive done a bit of research to see if there are any applications available that could do the job without any alterations. There are a few apps that come close.
The first is 'Fast Burst Camera'
This is an amazingly quick camera application capable of taking photos in the region of 30fps at 1280x720. (I'm guessing this uses some sort of modified video camera function?) Setting this to Full Manual mode allows for amazing capture speed, taking photos as fast as you can hit the shutter button. Perfect!
The second is 'Sensor Camera'
This app has perfect control over the sound meter levels for the 'Audio Trigger'. Allowing you to set a watch value at 10db increments. The only drawback is the use of full resolution shots, making the capture rate far to low.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to combine the two functionalities into one application? Whether this would be possible in terms of processor speed and hardware?
I know the commercial appeal for this functionality would be almost non-existent, but for the use in this project it would be perfect! I've emailed the respective developers of each application, without much interest.
If anyone is interested please let me know. This is for a non-profit art project, so it would be great if people wanted to donate their time, but I would also be happy to pay. The app would not be used commercially at my end, only for the work in the project.
If you've made it this far, thank you for your time
Mike.

Ok then as I'm stucked I'll post a mindstorm.
For Audio Trigger Sound detection we have two options.
1. Start recording and when the mic detects a higher dB makes a ACTION.
Problem: We don't want to save the recording. Requires too much space !
2. Use the Voice Commands API from Google.
Problem: We wanna hear a word not a command !
Thanks in advance !

Looks good, at the moment there are a few similar apps available, I have tried all of them, now the difference will be in the amount of features. I like that the refresh rate looks good (unlike some of the other apps available).
Last time I checked your app was not in Samsung Gear Apps store, but will give it a try once available. At the moment there are two apps that are my favorites, one that can record video and high resolution pictures, but the refresh is not that smooth, and the other is 'buttery smooth' but can only record pictures up to 1080p in resolution. Hopefully your app might become one of my favorites as well

Thank you for comment. My app takes pictures in highest resolution possible for chosen camera (rear or front). Video recordig feature will be added in next update, along with resolution choice feature. I will notify here, when app will pass certification and be available in Samsung Gear Apps store.

App is on sale
Phone Camera Remote app is now available in the Samsung Apps store in Gear Manager in Entertainment and Utilities categories.

Update
Phone Camera Remote app update was released with new cool features including video recording and advanced gallery with share and delete features.

Upcoming update
next update features:
-camera zoom
-picture/video resolution choice
-user preferences saving (resolution, shutter sound, flash mode, focus mode)

Hello,
Im planning to add more camera settings including image effects and stabilization in next updates.

Update
Phone Camera Remote app v1.2 update was released.
Changelog:
-customizable camera settings
-scene modes selection
-color effects selection
-gallery images group by date

Excellent app, but ...
.... the only thing that doesn't work for me is an actual view in zoom mode. The image on the gear 2 neo stays the same when camera zoomed in. The camera is zoomed and if I take a picture I get a zoomed image, but the display on the neo stays the same, making it impossible to set a frame for the picture when using zoom.
Otherwise, this is one very cool app.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini running stock O2 android 4.2.2 (with gear support)
Watch: Gear 2 Neo

Ill try to fix zoom issue. Never saw it while testing on s4.

That would be fantastic. Having used the app in several situations lately, it is already in the top two best uses for the Gear 2 Nano, along with the Music Player++ app.
If you can fix the zoom preview issue, it will be hands down the best app I have on the watch.
Thanks for all the hard work!

May I have some questions. What is the videobit of 1080P? Can I increase it or your app just read out it from media_profiles.xml? How is the jpg compression rate on your app? Will you add support for 4K recording for note3/note4/S5/Alpha?
Sorry for too many questions but I'm thinking to get a Gear2 just for this app before I buy it I want to know all things first.

Hello,
app uses default videobit for all video resolutions. Jpg compression rate is 90. As for 4K, it will be available as experimental feature in next update (experimental, because 4K video is not fully supported by the standard Android API yet).

Thanks for fast reply, you are real quick. Because the default videobit is just around 20M on all Samsung phones and definitely not enough for 1080P. Can I increase it by modify the media_profiles.xml myself? or can you add support various bitrate selection for it?
Good news for 4K experimental feature, hope Android 5.0 will real support 4k.

If android takes default value from media_profiles.xml, then modifying media_profiles.xml might help. As for manual bitrate setting, I will try if it is effective to change bitrate manually.

[Feature Request] Internal Capture

I don't know if the title is appropriate for this request.
I mean MX Player would be better with a button to capture a shot from a video.
Why need an internal capture when Android OS already has a capture feature?
Because capture in Android OS simply interprets what is shown on the screen and saves it and I think the interpretation process is unnecessary because the data is already included in the video file. (I don't know much about video encoding/decoding, so if im wrong sorry for my ignorance on the subject) The resulting image is poor in quality and most importantly takes up TOO much space. If I capture the same scene on the same video by video playing programs (KMP, etc), I get better capture image small in size also(as much as 20 times smaller).
Another problem with Android capture is that ads (I don't know the free version still shows ads when tje video is paused) or soft-keys (although it can be hidden by the app) can be captured together.
And finally, capture is done not considering the size of the video. Android merely captures the screen as shown, the captured image's resolution is the same to the device's screen's resolution, which is a problem when playing videos with higher or lower resolutions or when the video's height-width ratio is different to that of the device's screen(4:3, 16:10, CinemaScope, etc).
So, I think it would be wonderful if you would consider including an internal capture feature in the app.
I think you're working on Frame-by-Frame feature, so I guess it can be related to that.(again, sorry if Im wrong)
Im always happily using MX Player for years and I appereciate your efforts. :laugh:

From your description it looks like you looking for trimming feature. There are many apps are available in Google Play which can trim the video without recoding. It will do the job as you are expecting.

Yes, I'm aware that there are lots of video trimming/frame break and capturing/editing apps available. But I was just thinking that it would be nicer to have a capturing (I believe it is different from trimming, since capturing is about extracting just one frame out of the video while trimming is extracting multiple continued frames and merging it) feature included in the MX Player so that I can easily watch a video and capture "a" frame without opening another app while watching a video. It is not a big and urgently needed feature, but it would make things more easier.

It's my mistake. Apologizes for that. I have misunderstood the word Capture.
Anyway I will convey your request about frame extraction/capture feature to the developer.

A Guide for Better Photography [How to use manual mode][camera api2 pros]

It is boring to always use the auto mode in camera so let's try the manual mode and have greater quality pictures, which is better than auto mode.
What is manual mode ?
Manual mode is one of the main settings on your camera, and it lets you manually control shutter speed, white balance, manual focus, and ISO in most. These three settings work together to control the how bright or dark your photo is (known as exposure), as well as change the overall look of the image.
What is ISO ?
In photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography – the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. Higher ISO settings are generally used in darker situations to get faster shutter speeds.
What is Shutter Speed ?
In photography, shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time.
What is White balancing ?
White balancing is a process in which a camera will attempt to detect the type of white light largely visible in different environments. This is typically utilized to account for different light sources (fluorescent, incandescent, etc.), as well as different weather types and times of day (overcast, sunny, sunset, etc.). White balance generally focuses on collecting the proper temperature of white light in a scene, which ranges from cold (blue-tinted) to warm (orange or gold-tinted).
This is one setting that is often best left on automatic settings, unless the viewfinder suggests that the automatic white balance is obviously wrong. Of note, RAW images will have to be manually white balanced in post-processing, as RAW shooting will not modify the white balance in-camera.
What is Manual Focus ?
Manual focus controls are a more recent and much-appreciated addition to the control suite of manual smartphone photographers. Most camera apps features a simple and intuitive circular slider which can be used to accurately set focus manually in lieu of the jumpier and imperfect auto-focus, something which is often exaggerated when trying to take photos of close subjects. If you want to take a closer pic of something very near try macro focus.
What is Manual exposure ?
manual exposure is a small supplement to ISO and shutter speed settings, and it is one of the rarer manual settings one will find in smartphone camera applications. If a combination of shutter speed and ISO produce an unsatisfying image, manual exposure is often offered as a way of tweaking the brightness of an image in-camera. It can quite easily be replaced by simply modifying brightness after taking the photo, but it can sometimes be more efficient to get the image right the first time.
What do we have in our Lenovo P2 :
I had Camera api2 activated and snap camera hdr+ and oneplus 5 camera apps.
Shutter speed
Minimum 0.68s maximum 1/96423s
ISO
Minimum 100 Maximum 19200
Verdict approximate values
In low light condition
Higher ISO [ 500 ~ 19200 aprx] + Higher shutter speed [0.68 ~ 1/200 aprx]
In heavy light condition
Lower ISO [below 500 aprx] + Lower shutter speed [1/200s ~ 1/96423s aprx]
Camera Api2 advantages
Raw image capture support

Maybe due to changing roms in mobiles the camera driver can get into buggy, not confirmed yet.
If you want Camera with Raw capture try "snap camera HDR" with force HAL1 enabled in-app setting.
If you looking for completely manual configuration try camera api2 ON in-app setting.

I can't find force hal1, sucks.
At least the manual controls it's a very sweet thing

With camera api2 raw fails as it is not supported in P2 right now. But without camera api2 or with Hal1 enabled you can capture raw image in DNG format.

New Nokia Camera update for N7+

So, I just got an update for the Nokia Camera app through Google Play. It was a whooping 250MB!! So far I noticed it includes:
- All shooting modes (photo, pro photo, video, bokeh, slow and fast camera...) moved to a slide carousel in the bottom
- Front/back camera switch moved to bottom left (thank god!)
- Added a shortcut to google lens
- Option to take "movement" photos (like a short gif)
- Added a button with Snapchat-like masks
- Auto HDR is now inside the burger menu on the top left
So... I'm opening this thread so you can discuss!

Still don't get update. It is possible to backup camera app and post it here?
edit:
Ok, I found it. I must manualy search for Nokia Camera and then update app. Don't have it with others app that need update on my device.

Apparently the filters and masks sections updated itself over the internet and where I had just 3 masks, there's now also an animoji-like Chinese lion and several light sources filters

Cant find the app when I search in Playstore. Any links?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hmdglobal.camera2

I wonder how the image quality differs from the Google Pixel Camera port.

May I know if there is a way to manually set HDR permanently on?

After the update, the Google assistant commands work. Saying "take a selfie" the camera opens automatically with a 3-second countdown

Still forces EIS on 1080p (and lower) recording...
I wish they put an option to disable it.

They should also add 60fps recording for video in 1080 as the processor supports it

I kinda like the new options.

Is ridiculus to not have manual controls on the hdr, is like absurd, like a bad joke....

Front cam at low light is so washed out. It's like saturation set to -100. Wow, just wow.

Se haven't lib for 1080/60...we cani only Hope that nokia release an unpdated camera lib

My stock camera app is different than Nokia Camera app. And for the Nokia Camera app Google Play says "This app is incompatible with your device"

Same here TA-1055 in UK. I have to admit that my Oreo is a restore from Pie Beta.

Well, just got a notification - update for stock camera app (Nokia Camera) and it is whole 247 MB Probably HMD had messed up with this app few weeks ago, then pulled it out of the store and now put it on hopefully a corrected version?

Every time I click a picture it gets in to a never ending processing photos loop and never saves the pictures properly. Even after rebooting the phone it gets back to the same loop.
