Add on Camera - Google Pixel XL Accessories

Anyone try any of the add on lenses that are available and had good luck with them? Was in the city this weekend and saw users with add-on that made the phone essentially look like a standard camera that seemed like it was a nice way to use it so wondered what others users experience would be.

Guys got some good stuff.
Old news.. Basically use ANYTHING except the Gallery.
^ Basically. I use the same one mentioned in the video though.
Nice use of Faenza though, might try playing with that on my phone as well

[REQUEST] BeatPad/Sample Pad app.

I have been searching around for something like this but the best I could find is this archaic abandoned app called beatmaker but I can't link to it. I know it exists in the Google Code database. It's not a bad start though I'm looking for an app like that but hopefully with some more advanced features like what's found a device such as the Boss Dr. Sample. (I can't link to show what I'm talking about, just look up the SP-202, I still own one of those.). I'd be very willing to beta test this and I am now producing music on my MotoXoom using Caustic 2 and would like to have something more interactive to use than just the sequencer in Caustic. I would be using my Samsung GTab with ICS on it (AOKP CM9 build7) as my primary test device.

Have you tried "Su-preme MPA"?, it's more like an AKAI sampler but might be what you're looking for. I agree my app is not meant for this kind of live performance.

Yeah, what I'm looking for is something that is directly interactive with the samples. I'm giving SU-preme MPA Lite a try. The price for the full version seems kind of steep but I don't even know if it's worth it for me. Thanks for the app suggestion.
P.S. HEY! I'm a huge fan of Caustic! Been working with with it for over a week now trying to work on new material since I got my MotoXoom. And I'm far from saying your app is not meant for live performance. I truly believe I can use it when I get to the live performance aspect of my music. It'd be a great sequencer for songs. I hope to see you improve upon it, especially with tempo changes.

[Q] Camera app alternatives?

Hello everyone!
My question is rather simple, which applications do you use as an alternative to the stock camera app?
I would like to hear opinions of people who have tried more of them and decided in the end for something else than stock.
Maybe also list pros and cons for each.
Thank you very much for your help!

We use stock, so...why do you what to change it anyway?
It' s very good.
Thank you for your reply. Personally, for me it's the interface where I need to go into Settings for any adjustment. Moreover, HDR is limited only to 8MP. And more choice when it comes to scene modes would be nice.

In PlayStore you'll find some alternatives.
Some are paid apps, but just read the Description and the Reviews, to make up your mind.

Thank you for trying to help, however what I'm interested in are experiences of people with different apps. For example, I was recommended Manual Camera app which turned out to be quite useless without the new API being supported by this phone.
I use Camera FV-5 and like it best...tried some others (stock, a better camera, google camera) and for editing i like pics art...

I search for another camera app too. The stock camera app doesn't include effect for high res photo (8MP or more). Also, it doesn't produce vivid color like Samsung/LG G3 stock camera app. Up until now, i use Camera360 in its easy mode.
Very usefull, and i think its better in some aspect (like saturation and effect).
But i'm still looking for the best app.
Try Snap cam. I use it all the time. It takes great shots

Adobe Photoshop Camera not compatible ??

Anyone know why. Has anyone tried to sideload. It sounds like a great app based on reviews.
Saw that too. Looks promising, i would like to test these AI captures. I cant understand the problem of compatibility with our phone.
Maybe Google found a competitor for the GCam app?
Found it on the APKmirror its working.
Scenery enhancer works nicely, most stuff is for selfies, many extras. give it a shot.

Inly the developer of an app can restrict for devices. Google couldbt care much. Adobe Camera is more like a Camera with various filter capabilities. Some of the filter seem a bit laggy, because our device has not a flagship SOC. Also keep in mind, it was recently released from beta to stable. Guess the Adobe team just wants to test the waters slowly before having a ****storm of people complaining for whatever reason. You still can sideload it, its seems to be working on R beta 1. Didnt test it much through, will do that on the weekend when i get outside.
cheers!

Question CoverScreen OS vs Samsprung

Have anyone used CoverScreen OS or Samsprung in Z Flip 3? Which one do you think is better and which one is safer?
Edit : I decided to close the poll so that this thread will not be biased to one side. Let's just share the features and differences between both products and let anyone decide their own choice.

Interesting question
It's difficult to answer because they are both under development and not finished apps
I am trying both of them and both craches from time to time, but as mentioned, beta versions
Personally I prefer Samsprung, there are news every day (several times usually) and I think it's really great, and well done job
Cover OS is way out of proportions regarding price, too expensive for a none working app, and also if it's working
At any time I would go for Samsprung
Just my opinion
Both developers have done a great job! thanks to them!
I'd also go with Samsprung. Way better support, updates, more features ect. The developer is also very responsive.
Cover Os has just entered Beta status and has a price tag that is obnoxious. Yes, i understand lots or blood, tears and work has gone into it, but as it still is, half baked software, the price is out of this world. We have to pay for something that we are testing, no thanks.
i'm totally fine paying when things are up and running as should, and i encourage both developers to put a price for their work. But as of now, no.
Of course Samsprung...
Do a poll, it'll answer you...
A few weeks ago I would have said CoveScreen OS, but the SamSpring suddenly took lead and I now find it superior.
The navbar, the customizable app launcher, keyboard(!), no features behind paywall, compatibility with stock widgets, super quick and responsive developer. It's an easy choice for me.
It's all wrong, trying to compare 2 apps trying to do different things - they are both in beta and developing very fast.
We are very lucky to have 2 very talented developers making that [ex-factory useless screen] into something geniunely useful.
Try each one - for a couple of days, not for 5 minutes. Then you have to reach your own conclusion.
And don't consider pricing for the moment, only once it/they are out of beta.
Please don't make a poll, that could impact development of one of the apps.

I agree with you 100% it's not fair on anyone to choose one or the other, there was a time when the moderators would have taken down a post such as this.
In my opinion this is a valid question.
Should you pay blindly for something that might not function correctly (beta) and you cannot test fully to see if it fills your needs.
or test something that is fully free and you can test all features and if they fills your needs.
But of course, test both. one you can test fully, the other you can.

IMO since both are in development it's too early to even make a comparison. Both apps are moving very fast, so stability and functionality are not comparable. They are both moving targets at the moment
Maybe after both of their general availability, since then they are notionally stable.
If you're commenting about the subscription policy of one of them, I have tested its free version and haven't felt constrained. And there is no way that those values would fly in the Google Play universe, so I really doubt they are definitive values (time will tell, just my thoughts).
But still, once they are released and updates are incremental, why not run a poll.
Both applications interest me. I have only tried Coverscreen OS as I use Samsung Health persistently. I'm following both threads at present. Kudos to both developers

Thank you for this! Much appreciated.
I'm brand new to this phone and kinda not impressed with it (so far)..I'm a serious gadget nerd, so the flip/fold tech played too big a part in my decision to get it..I'd watched a samsprung video before I'd bought it so did expect a lot more use of the front screen than I get at the minute...like I said I am new to it so hoping to like it more the more I get to do with it but a quick question about samsprung, can it be used on android 12 or no? I updated the phone soon as I got it, then started seeing that it can't be used with A12!? Is there a way/work around?

SamSprung TooUI - Cover Screen Home (FREE) [ZF3]
Welcome to the original "Z Flip 3 Launcher" A complete home experience on the cover screen. Compatible with all current "Flip" devices. TooUI adds cover screen support for apps, full notifications, widgets, quick toggles, voice launch, custom...
forum.xda-developers.com
Both are pretty cool and somehow useful. Personally I don't use them because I don't need them and everything I'd like to have is just some more widget on the stock cover screen. However we're pretty luck to have those two developers here.
CoverScreen OS ask for way too many permissions, some really strange, i was not to ever able to run it, so yes for Samsprung
For me, the UI/UX of CoverScreen OS is better.
