Important note regarding feedback: when providing feedback, please include your phone model, Android version, ROM version (if applicable), and a link to the logcat (preferably posted on www.pastebin.com). If you don't know how to provide log information, please don't ask for directions in this thread.
Another important note regarding feedback: be brutal. If you hate the icon, tell me. If you hate the layout of something, tell me. If you hate the name, tell me. If you hate the concept...don't tell me that. Also tell me good things. Lots of good things.
Without further ado,

Happy tagging!
Great app! Very unique, I love it! Keep up the good work my man
Hey,
great idea!
Taking screens and analyizing colors seems to work for me, but upon saving and sharing, app crashes .
(replace 'xx' with 'tt', since i can't post links yet)
Log for save-crash:

Log share-crash:

Suggestion(s):
- change camera overlay (the bright rectangle in camera view)'s size, so that it reflects the number of pixels being analyized. (e.g. 1px analyzed: only cross, 144px -> 12*12 rectangle, 2500px = 50*50rectangle (you get the point )
- make color values selectable (text), so you can copy/paste them somewhere else.
Besides that, great concept, icon is ok aswell .
Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback and the logcat! I'll look into the issues you're getting. I assume you are using a different locale than en_CA or en_US (as it appears you are from Germany), and that's where the share issue is coming from. I was considering having the size change for the overlay, I think that'll be a definite feature now.
As for the save error, I'm confused. The logs don't appear to be showing me anything. Everything seems to be going fine and then suddenly my Activity is force finished. I'll need to do some more investigating in that department.
EDIT: The share logcat confuses me as well, even though I'm sure I know what the issue is. I think the developer of your ROM has set the log level to very low.
Yep locale setting seems to be the problem. After switching it from de_DE to en_US saving and sharing are working fine.
Seems like everything from verbose upwards is being logged, i could give you a filtered log if needed?
(Fyi it's the stock rom if thats any helpful)

That's alright. If changing the locale solved the issue, then the locale is the problem
Would you be so kind as to post some screenshots of the app in order to entice users?
Thanks!
I'll try to get some screenshots as soon as possible, unfortunately my phone's battery exploded. I have a new one on the way and it should be here in the coming days. If anyone else would like to post some screenshots they're welcome to!
(I've tried to take some through the emulator, but they don't work because a) I'm testing a camera-oriented app on the camera-less emulator, and b) the camera uses a surface which updates while the screenshot is being taken so they end up breaking.)

Great App ideia, will follow this one up close congrats man
this is a great app idea but fc's on my droid incredible. i would love to have this app too.
Problem parsing the package

Post added to the XDA front page. Hope this gets your great app some exposure.
Shoudn't you have some way to calibrate the colors with a graycard? A color is highly dependent on the light that is emitted on it. A red object in daylight will give a diferent color than the same red object in fluorescent TL light...
@dirtsky are you using the en_US or en_CA locale?
@marko! I would suggest trying to redownload, I haven't heard of this issue as of yet.
@willverduzco thanks! There have been 300 downloads since last night thanks to the article!
@michaelarnauts I'm aware, but the thing is, LifeDropper is designed to capture colours as they are seen. If you see a colour under light, LifeDropper is viewing it in the same light.
An update that fixes the saving/sharing FC (due to locale) is now in the first post.
Wow, wonderful application! Working great on stock Droid Incredible... Few force closures now and then but still very useful!
@Cellulah is there any way you could provide a logcat for the FCs you're getting?
This is really cool. I bet someday you could do live updating with histogram data in the camera view!
Sent from my Thunderbolt das BAMF remix
@rycheme glad you like the concept! Awesome idea! I'm looking into doing capturing without having to take a picture (like Barcode Scanner).
Remember, if you like the app, mash the share button!
The next update will include linking to the currently under-construction LifeDropper site for the share feature, so the link at the end will be a link to your colour.
i'm sure i'm not alone on this... I'd really appreciate it if my camera could focus on the middle portion before taking the picture....
i would also really love this if there was a way to calibrate this stuff... maybe print out
100% cyan box... 100% Magenta.....100% Yellow... and whatever other colour might be necessary...
by the way ... this is an amazing App!!!
If it comes to the market ...i'll definitely buy it...

The filter was missing in your photos! It's fast and fun!.
Lumiè transform your images with magical forms of light!
Bokeh ("blur" in Japanese) is an effect that came from a happy accident! A lens out of focus captured the light of a candle which resulted in a blurred image with octagonal-shaped diamonds dots.
The light painting in Lumiè also inspires. The city lights and all night movement of these places will be part of your images.
Share on Twitter, Facebook, or use your illuminated image in other Apps!

I think you should consider a better icon and better screenshots. Probably a demo video. This is what the users see first. This is how you get them to like the app before they even install it. Good luck
Cool idea!
But you should lock the white balance / exposure settings after the first picture, so you don`t see these "scars" between the different shots.
Nice, will check it out

Hi All
I'm away the mo, but here are some samples I've taken so far. I've posted these up as it's hard to find original res pics. There are tons of reviews with reduced size images which is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
I'm looking for a good scene so I can take the same shot with every lens so we can do more detailed comparisons, but this is a starter:
edit: imgur worked fine at first, but now it's reduced the resolution of the files! I've uploaded them to mega.nz here:
https://mega.nz/#F!EZMxxQbJ!lAIm7Z4JIda3wN62LmSW7w
The above link contains all the images, so don't bother with the imgur links below.
At mega.nz, right-click on an image you want and choose download to get the file in full resolution. Don't bother with Preview as this is low res.
I'm not too impressed with the ultrawide image as if you zoom in to a face, the image is very soft as far as looking out of focus. For Macro shots, I found it best to go into camera settings and turn on Focus & Shoot. If you don't it's hard to get the macro camera to focus just where you want it.
The 108MP image looks quite good and you can zoom in a long way.
As soon as I see a good shot, I'll take that photo with all lenses and do some night shots.
Cheers
Steve

Next up is a comparison between Open Camera and the stock cam, including RAW files where possible. There's a readme file uploaded.

Good shots Steve
Cheers I ran outside in between rain storms
I've been doing some comparisons between crops of @TF1920's current version of opencam mods and the stock cam. The reference is the brickwork on the end of a house in the middle of the picture. The comparisons have been uploaded to mega.nz with the link below. All of the comparison images file names begin with the word Comparison and each pair of images are annotated with Opencam or note10 and the lens used.
There is also a comparison of stock camera 27mp images in jpeg and DNG format.
https://mega.nz/#F!hZUkFKgJ!8P0msMZIag0drQstokvVTA
So, here's the results:
Compare_OC_Note10_2xTele_12mp
Note 10 crop has much more detail than opencam. I tried sharpening the opencam image, but it didn't help. In my view the note10 image is over-sharpened.
Compare_OC_Note10_5xTele_8mp
The Note10 image has more detail than the opencam image. Not a great deal, but sharper.
Compare_OC_Note10_U_Wide
These images seem to me, to be identical.
Compare_OC_Note10_WIDE_108mp
There's quite a difference between these 2 images. Note10 seems to have a lot more detail. I tried sharpening the opencam image but it didn't help. Hmm....
Compare_Note10_Wide_jpeg_dng_27mp
I found this interesting. The RAW image was much softer than the jpeg so no surprises there. However, the grass and stones looked like grass and stones in the RAW image. In the jpeg, they had suffered from over sharpening and had clear 'oil painting' effect. This gives me hope that I can use a RAW file and produce an image that is a better compromise than the over sharpened jpegs spat out by most manufacturers.
Raw Files
It's worth noting that although the RAW files uploaded to mega.nz look very washed out with a green tint, if you view them in irfanview they look much better.
Cheers
Steve
Good Job Steve, at 108Mpx try OpenCam with manual focus and compare with stock, seems to improve a lot the detail even gets better than stock, but it is tricky to use since you need to zoom in first at 10X focus and revert to no zoom
One mode I'm really interested in is 12MP on the 108MP camera, if possible this would be 9-to-1 pixel binning (the same mode that Samsung is planning in the S11) and maybe provide great low-light performance. Another poster tells me that 12MP is not available on the main cam in the Xiaomi app, but is available on Open Camera.
Could someone test this? The results might be impressive

Yes I have the modded opencam @TF1920 has developed. If you check out this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-10/help/camera2-api-t4011239/page4
He's posted up a screenshot of all of the available resolutions in open camera and a couple are very close to 12MP. Over the next couple of days, I'll take a shot of each resolution and maybe you could feed back your results?
Happy Xmas all.....
Steve
Correction, the screen shot I mentioned is not the full range of resolutions in @TF1920's opencam. It's quite a long list so I tried to do a screen capture with scroll but it finishes before the end of the page. I've taken a number of screenshots of the opencam Wide resolutions and glued them all together for your viewing pleasure. It's attached to this post.
Also up are 4 shots taken outside my front door this morning at around 7am. In the UK, it's pretty dark and it's worth noting that to my eye, the sky was black and I could just make out the tree opposite so the results are very sensitive. jpeg quality was set to 100%.
The files are here:
https://mega.nz/#F!0Bsi2CKI!54RSNIlwDDEtoag7JQpYcw
I must say I can't see any difference in sensitivity between the 108MP and 12ish MP photos. Maybe they are just crops?
I also checked the ISO range in opencam by setting to different resolutions and manually setting the ISO. The result was the same for all resolutions I tried, offering a maximum ISO of 3200.
Cheers
Steve did you try manual focus instead of auto?
Hi no I didn't but I'll try again tomorrow at 7am and post the results up
Hi @TF1920 I got up late today as my wife forced me to drink whiskey last night
I was thinking - was your comment about the night shots or the daytime comparison shots I took? I can repeat either or both no problem.
Cheers

To any of them, I noticed that autofocus is not working very well some times, with manual focus I always get much better results (first zoom in max > set focus > zoom out all) then shot.
