coming from an at&t tilt where i could atleast do burst mode, i'm surprise the evo didn't have this feature builtin.
any recommendations?
Camera Zoom FX in marketplace
burst up to 16 shots @ 2mp each... works very nicely.... and is free.
Vignet is an awesome camera app. Has so many filters and can shoot from full res down to tiny size its a paid app though totally worth it. You can even import other pics from the regular camera to add filters. Which is pretty sweet.

I second Vignette. I just bought it yesterday, and its the best camera app i've used thus far!
I wish somebody would make a digital camera quality app for this phone. Something that let you adjust settings to the level of a modded Canon camera.

I don't know what kind of settings you can really adjust, I mean, look at the camera... it's not exactly fancy. There's not much you can change, there's not even any optically zoom on it. All that you're going to get pretty much is software filters and stuff.
I third vignette. Also check out Camera 360 it has alot of cool functions. It has a free and paid version I use multiple apps to get a good feel of things
Here are a few samples I have taken using Vignette , Camera360 and even a littel Photoshop.com app
cool, ill try out vignette and see how it works out. the list of features is pretty impressive.

no burst mode though
The iPhone had alot of great apps to replace the stock camera. What's the best one for the Droid X? When u had the G1 i had purchased Snap Photo Pro and i redownloaded it on my DX but it's buggy as he'll. Im looking for something that allows you to tap the screen to take a pic plus plenty of other features.

A lot of people like Camera 360.
I personally don't like it, but it might be worth checking out.
Thanks. Really just want to be able to tap the screen to take pics.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
try using vignette... i absolutely love it!
Vignette is BY FAR the best camera app for the Droid X!
I would like to agree on this! It is the best addition to the droid x! The pics are just that more vibrant! I always compare it to the Evo and guess what, the X always wins! Its not by liking but by actual aperture and density in the pictures! The live shutter vs digital is by far some kind of feat!

Just purchases Vignette, its f**king awsome. Love it. Thanks guys for the recommendation.

Vignette is great. Camera 360 does a few things better but if I ha to pick one...
Based on the posts in this thread I've been using Vignette for a few days and LOVE it.
One of the things I was really disappointed with in the phone was the picture quality, that disappointment has completely gone away with Vignette.
I didn't like that I had to keep going back to the home screen to switch from camera to video, but then I found the option to turn on the video button to switch with one tap.. awesome!
I'm pretty impressed. It didn't seem that much different from FX Camera when I looked at the previews, but once I opened it up - WOW!
I just purchased Vignette, and I'm finding it a huge improvement over the default camera app. However, I'm having trouble deciding what the best everyday settings are. Any ideas from you folks?
I second Mikerrrrrrrr's request, I got Vignette but I'm not sure how to use it effectively yet.
So far I'm using no effects, 5MP fullscreen (16:9) with auto WB, auto focus, and steady shot. Does anybody have other suggestions?
Also, is there a way to manually configure exposure and ISO settings?
I'd still go for Vignette. I also deleted the generic camera app via a root uninstaller as I won't have a need for that app.
I use Camera Zoom and it's awesome. Definitely worth checking out.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I can personally vouch for Camera ZOOM FX; it has a great interface and is really good to use; it also supports high resolutions.
Does anyone remember the link for the modified version of the stock blur camera, that saves the 8mp setting after its closed?
Also - Try the HDR camera, by almalence, does a fantastic job of capturing details and putting the 3 images back together.
I like retro camera. It takes pictures then "develops" them for 30 seconds or so, and look vintage as hell.
There are quite a few out there, what do you think is the best camera and and what apps have you tried (if you think one is best, but haven't tried others, not very valid tbh!)
Myself, I would like one that takes pics in the same ratio as my phone screen. The Desire HD would do this. I know you actually lose resolution, but they look better on the phone...
Can't say I've tried them all, but Vignette is pretty good. It has a wide range of options to select from.
+1 for Vignette - I use it all the time
you can check out my review of it from the link in my signature
Had a quick play with Vignette, certainly seems very good. I love I can set the volume rocker to be the shutter release!
Is there a way to change aspect ratio of the photo's, so it takes full screen? If I select Full Screen of 16:9 as the frame, it does this, but crops the photo to only be about 600 by 300...
Another +1 user for Vignette here =D
Camera Magic is the one i use most. Just because it's fast and has both rapid fire mode and timer mode.
Camera 360 ultimate is kool also.

I'm shopping for a new camera app right now, as the stock one for AOSP ROMs is horrible. Can't believe how crappy it is, especially after coming off a modded Sense ROM (Virtuous) where that camera kicked ass. Right now I'm torn between Vignetta and Camera Advance. It seems that most here like Vignette, but what about Camera Advance? On Amazon it only got 3/5 stars, but after playing with the "free" version it seems pretty good.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Miui Camera or Sleek Camera. Miui is basically a prettier version of the stock camera and seems to work well on CM7 if you turn down the resolution.
Sleek Camera is a little bit buggy but it takes high quality photos on CM7 roms without any bloat or all the extras of Camera 360 and others. I highly recommend this app as a partial fix for CM7 users.

Camera Advance Pro is very good so far in my testing but still suffers from the same problems as the stock CM7 camera.

+1 Vinette
It's good. +1 for Vinette, though little bit slow.
+1 Vignette is pretty good xD
I think Pro HD Camera is the best.many settings available after take a photo
I just want an app that controls shutter speed, but pretty sure that can't happen.

Well the Milestone 2 camera is pretty bad, camera 360 allowed me to take some great pics. My friend who has a SGS didn't notice any difference with 360 compared to his stock app.

Little Photo has some nice effects although I wouldn't say its a camera replacement app. Coming from the iPhone which has so many wonderful camera apps, I must say android does seem a little behind. I wonder why it doesn't have the same broad range of apps?
Been playing around with the camera since yesterday and I have to say I'm mildly disappointed. My Samsung Vibrant shot excellent photos for a cell phone camera (my daily driver is a Canon 5DMKII).
Looking at the specs and the size of the sensor this should be a dead ringer for top camera, but the dynamic range seems to be worse than the Vibrant and compression more heavy.
Are there good camera app alternatives that can use the Optimus/G2x hardware?
There is...
I've been using Vignette with my G2, and now that I have a G2X, this app comes in handy even more... besides taking really good quality shots... you can set the volume button as your shutter button. Voila: you got a physical camera button on your G2X.

This is the MIUI Camera app. It's a full screen camera app. Works better than default app. Download it and change the extension to .apk and install it via package installer or adb.
Camera 360 is a wonderful camera app
Makes ur camera work amazing wonders
Worth buying
But there are ways
I purchased mine abdbyave no regrets
very hi def and even made my mt4g camera look amazing

Try lgCamera from the market, there's a free version too. It's made for LG phones, so hopefully it will work well.
It adds support for autofocus in video mode! I hope that feature works for the G2x

This is a great app. Thank you so much for the post. I recommend this for all G2x users!
i personally would not use MIUI as HD 720P seems not to work
BUT on the plus side it is made by XDA-Developers
they always make good stuff and are the leaders in innovations for the smart-phone market
(shameless plug maybe I'll get a cookie for it )
i don't see how this app would do anything to improve image quality on the G2X
as the app was generally made to replace the clunky and overblown GUI software that came with the Galaxy S / Vibrant,
so how will that improve the image quality on the G2X
as DataJunkie wants, he did not ask for a better GUI but better quality pictures
maybe i miss-understand
anyway the app can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996867
and a review of the app here
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-miui-custom-camera-app-on-samsung-galaxy-s-vibrant/
Just my 2 cents,
i realize i did not try or test this app on the G2X,
so my 2 cents maybe worthless
.
I use camera 360 ultimate, i love that app, is awesome, it has hdr mode and a few other modes, you should try it.

These are all really good suggestions, thanks guys.
I think I'm going to do a test with 3 different camera apps and lock down the phone on a tripod to compare. I'm interested in knowing how much the camera is held back by software and how much it can be improved upon.
Now all I want is a cameraphone that can shoot RAW.
Where can I get camera 360? I can't find it in the market?

I know, it's weird, you have to type it as "camera360" or else it won't show up.
Okay i see it now, thanks

I was disappointed with the Camera app on my MT4G and went with Camera 360 due to extensive compression (at leat 2 to 1) on stock app.
I think this one is much better, and it makes large files per picture which indicates it does not compress that much. Have you checked out all the settings?
The flash goes off too soon with Camera 360, just tried it out.

did you ever find out the result?
I like Camera Zoom FX the best then Vignette. Both of these have hardware hotkeys. Camera Zoom FX has stable shot mode that Vignette doesn't have. Camera360 Ultimate is ok for me. Stock camera app seems to have brightest flash and very noticeable.
Does anybody have a .apk of the MIUI app? I'm having a hard time with the .zip :/

Hi. I'm a new z1c user and I'm loving everything except the camera.
Anybody know how I can get the camera to shift White balance according to where I tap?
On the iPhone for example if there's a bright spot and the picture looks too dark, if you tap a dark spot it will adjust the colors shop that the colors balance according to your objective.
Can the Z1c do this too?
I've only seen the manual mode which is far worse send more complicated than the standard camera app on the iPhone (which I hate as a phone)
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
It actualy only adjusts exposure (on iPhone).
I don't know an app that does this by tapping, but you can adjust it in manual mode by taping the icon between the flash and scene mode.
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
It sounds like you want touch focus. Z1c does this: go to settings in camera app and change focus mode to touch focus.

He wanted touch focus with touch exposure together. I know Iphone and HTC does support that but our z1c no.
Or just download Google camera app
It supports touch focus and exposure

Yeah it doesn't balance the whites as good as the HTC (HTC one's white balance > iphone's, iphone's pic quality > HTC one's) but for what we are left with, I guess it does its job done. But can be better. If ill find any other app that can do the touch exposure thing, I'll buy it and use it as my camera app on my phone.
Sorry if you had to waste few bucks on the paid apps I mentioned.
Try to contact snap hdr team and tell them about this exposure feature maybe they might listen?
