I wonder if you are talking about Andropan...I downloaded it last night and tried it out today and did not like it at all :-(

Sent from my CDMA Hero, sucka!

yep.. thats the name of it.. i remember seeing some BS samsung or LG phone that came with this feature stock and it looked good, so its hard to believe that someone hasn't made a good working panoramic picture taking device...

Hi,
I'm the developper of Andropan.
Can you tell me what is UGLY in my application?
So I can make it better and better
Which device do you use?
Thanks for your help

The Epic's camera app has panorama built in. Im on the Evo myself but my family uses the hero. Glad I lurked on this thread, hopefully the Epic's camera app can be ported over sometime

try vignette. is the best camera.

1.Starting the application into a black screen is a bit - distasteful and not user friendly. Add the buttons that you have when pressing menu here.
2. The Plumb and Level indicators are a bit hard to get right, you should probably think about over laying a set of arrows to tell the user how they need to move to get level and plumb.
3. Typical camera uses the trackball to snap the picture instead of menu or a screen tap (at least on our heros) This would make it more fluid.
4. Not sure how you are storing/retrieving GEO information, but its wrong...at least for me it is
5. Just in my office - it seemed like one picture would have a different light saturation than another frame in the picture.
6. Your stitching of the pictures seems like it has a VERY low error tolerance, and you might try looking at other ways of matching and stitching pieces together so they are seamless.
7. After you have one panorama, instead of showing it at the beginning, have a gallery button, this way they can come into a screen of buttons and actually navigate with out having to use hard keys.
The above was meant to be constructive - please don't take offense, I think you have a good starting point with the app. If you need help with any of it let me know, I have a pretty decent Java/Android background, just no time to make my own apps.

I didn't understand the difference between the two different options for creating a panoramic pic (I don't remember what they were called, manage and auto I think)
I also didn't understand the point of levels
Also it would be nice when the stitching occurs if the app looked for overlap and then removed the overlapping parts of the pic.
Another suggestion would be that when you take a pic that is part of the panoramic shot that you leave it on screen and then overlay the camera view over it so you can better line up and tell where the next shot should be.

Tilting SCreen

Is there any way to disable that annoyng tilting effect og the sense 3??? I don't know why but most of the time I turn on the phone the screen is rotated left or right.

yeah settings then display then auto rotate, turn that off

Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....

Ha ha that sounds great. It didn't happen with mine

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!

any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.

from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

I think you need to get closer, works for me great outdoors, when I get too close the image blurs but macro mode keeps it in focus

This latest update takes way better portrait pics.

Recent update is definitely an improvement for me...

I just tried this version and Nightscape just basically stopped working.

Don't normally update that quickly but tried this one because of the new macro mode and I have to agree the standard lens software is better now. Depth of field, colors all better. Also portrait mode seems a bit better also. They just need more contrast and take the exposure down a bit IMO. Everything else seems to be working fine. Thanks for posting!

You guys are joking right? The darker one (normal mode) has no depth of field. The second pretty much everything is in focus

Pixel 4 Astrophotography working NOW.

as the title States I was able to get it to work on stock 7.1 app ( newest release ) with no modifications needed. There are no developer options to turn on but it is working when you leave the phone in the dark here are some screenshots show you guys what I'm talking about

Nice to know! Interesting enough the modded one works in any lightning situation, it just needs to be extremely stable.

You have to select night sight and the phone can not move at all. You can't hold it. Set it to night sight and then put it on a table, you should see it say something on the top of the screen

Yeah, the only way to use it is the phone has to be perfectly still. You need to use a sold surface so the phone does not move at all

Uninstall it, clear data and cache, update the latest play service , then reinstall, you will be good to go.

Pixel 3 XL, not sure if thats really the milkway or just an anomaly, I believe the second, because I have a little light that might affected the photo.
