Is there any developers out there that know how to add back the "real" auto focus in the camera apk? I have really come to hate that so called auto focus we have which is more like a continues focus but I like the stock tw camera ui. Id like it to auto focus when I touch the shutter button and instantly take the pic once in focus, like it used to do.
Please no suggestions on using a different app.
Google Camera App - Released to the Public on April 16th.
I tested it with CM11 on Note 2 and works like the champ with only a issues.
Have you faced any issues with this camera yet?
Code:
Google Camera snaps quick and easy photos and videos, and has creative picture modes like Photo Sphere, Lens Blur and Panorama.
Features
• Photo Spheres for immersive 360º views
• Lens Blur mode for SLR-like photos with shallow depth of field
• Panorama mode with high resolution
• 100% viewfinder for getting the maximum resolution from the sensor (no dropped pixels)
• Updated UI that gets out of your way and is centered on an extra large capture button
• Works on phones and tablets running Android 4.4+ KitKat

Actually I completely agree with you. It is fairly childish but honestly Note 2 on CM11 this app works better than the currently alternative. Hence my excitement
Missing options
i do have an issue, there's no panorama, and no photo sphere, even tho i have this options on my cm11 camera
Apparently Google is leaning towards "dumbing things down" by removing the more complex capabilities in some of their native apps by making them so simplistic as to literally become "point and shoot," especially with respect to this particular camera app. But when you think about it, the overwhelming majority of smartphone owners want just that: a device that works, that's simple to use, and doesn't require a huge set of menu options to just "point and shoot" and get good/useful results so, I suppose it's a winner in that manner for sure.
Tried it a few times, doesn't seem particularly special or useful over some other camera apps like Focal or others. Doesn't seem to do HDR natively and there's no option to enable it so that relegates this app to "ok, I tried it and then I uninstalled it" status for me.
For me its not better than LG G2 modded cam app.
The issue with me is that the CM11 Camera app gets stuck too often hence this is a great alternative
It is good, the only problem for me is when the flash is on and I tap to focus and than to take a picture theres a lag of about 5 seconds. Anyone have this problem? Also no HDR mod, and my camera have that option.
I'm having FC on settings option, on carbon kitkat in Samsung i9070.
love the lens blur mode. Any more cam apps that have this option?
I like it.
Yes the settings option does FC the app but honestly at this current moment, its better than the default camera app.
actually, the only setting i would change is 16:9 ratio, nothing else.
if some1 knows a shortcut for this...?
Good to know, may need to try this out, with custom roms i found a few the camera app always frooze or crashed

I've tried to change the settings thru the preferences files saved in \\data\data\com.googleCamera\shared_prefs\, but I couldn't change the resolution to the max, only the grid, flash, etc.
I want to change the "photosphere" and the "lens blur" to max resolution.
Any Idea?
let me try
Going to download it now and give a try in my grand i9082
I'll be trying it out on my Galaxy S2 with PACROM 4.4.2
Someone minds uploading it somewhere and sharing the link, I can find it on play store but it says its not available in my country I find that weird as its just a camara application...
Thanks in advance...

Really loving the recommendations to turn the phone sideways when recording video, to push people away from filming the horrors of portrait video.
tested in my droid x. somehow force close when i hit the setup menu.

Hey,
Time has come to change my z1compact. In few days I'll be changing it for either g4 or s6.
Now, I don't use my phones to watch YT or play games so the differences between cpu are not as important to me. The game changes with camera, I like g4's stock camera settings (shutter speed, iso). I know s6's 5.1 camera, with help of third party app, should provide all the g4's features (with better results?) Could someone provide me with info from ' manual camera ' and 'fv5 camera' apps on shutter speed, iso? With some light trail snaps if possible.
Second thing, is there anything I should pay attention to while getting the s6?(like checking the camera sensor or scratches on the screen)
Thanks for any help

I am also looking to find out about longest shutter speed available in the 3rd party apps

Anyone know any good camera apps with a fast shutter.
Thanks
Well an app with fast shutter is going to do you no good unless you know your phones camera can support that function.
Using CM12.1 on my SGH-T999
Camera apps are mess right now
I have tried few but then went back to my default ones on each device
I love the Samsung s6 camera app
There are few third party camera apps that have worked differently on my devices and it's pretty understandable as different devices have different camera sensors and the default camera apps are optimised for their respective sensors
I inadvertently asked this in my other thread, but I feel this deserves its own thread as it is quite a big issue?
I have tried multiple camera apps, including stock and none of them give me a HDR option. All of them just have the timer, flash and photo size at the top of the screen. I cannot see any option for HDR in the settings tab either.
Any ideas? I feel like HDR would make a big difference for the stock camera and GCAM. I've only had the phone for 2 weeks (bought used) and haven't noticed HDR since I've had it.
Thanks
(I am running the latest OOS, fully up to date)
Go to OOS Camera Settings ( You can find settings in camera modes) and enable Manual HDR Control. I forgot how to enable it in GCAM but I think it's pretty similar.
