Is it a feature that everybody has, new??
I searched for a term in settings and then saw that the camera had an option of a glare removal but when i tap it, it opens the settings of the camera app for nothing to highlight.. camera app outdated or is it a bug of a setting that is soon to be?
I've never seen that in the camera settings before but I do see it if I search for it. Weird
Possibly it'll be in the upcoming pixel drop..
Lets hope so, the Pixel 6 and 7 range handle lens flare just about as bad as it is humanly possible to do so, its terrible.

So I'm thinking about getting this phone. I'm wondering how well video chat (Skype specifically) and either btunes or Player Pro work on it. if anyone does use bTunes, does the camera button control function work in it? a short list of apps I'd really liek to knwo about, if anyone has used them on this phone:
No Lock (I know Sense has a clever lock screen, but I hate lock screens in general)
Wave Launcher
bTunes
Player Pro
Skype
No Lock
I'd also love to know if anyone has had other compatibility problems with other apps as well that I haven't mentioned, any at all. especially games. I'll be switching to a Sense phone from a stock gingerbread phone (Samsung transform Ultra), so compatibility could be a pit fall for me.
Hey, so of all those apps the only one that I have is Skype.
I am pretty amazed by how well it works. The video quality is excellent both ways, but the front facing camera does struggle a bit more in low light versus a normal webcam. Skype is fairly reliable. The video stream is clear, sound quality is good and all in all it works well. I Skyped with my friends on both Wifi and 4G for over an hour, it did however freeze a couple of times however it was difficult to tell if it was because of my phone, or the person I was Skyping with.
Can you elaborate on compatibility issues? The only "compatibility issues" I have ran into with applications regard LCD density and not being able to download from the Android Market. I changed my phone to have an LCD density of 160 rather than 240 using PropModder, and that prevented me from downloading applications like Facebook, and pretty much everything else - a simple change and reboot fixed the issue though.

Well, on the sidekick for example, Samsung changed the colors of menus and the notification drop down menu background, so if an app uses dark colored text, its difficult or impossible to see on the menu background that's also dark. It gets quite annoying. Also, no lock would often fail to block the lock screen, since it was altered by samsung, and i know sense has a diff lock screen as well. (If all these OEMs insist on modding android so much, why cant they give us an option to disable the lock screen natively for those who dont like it?)
So does anyone know about the other Apps, especially No Lock and Wave Launcher? I use those two ALOT.
Sorry to go off topic...but CM7 has the option to disable the lockscreen.

hmmm, did not know that. seems like at least those guys have some sense to them. I hope CM or a stable AOSP rom is on this thing soon, mine arrives tomorrow.
Don't have any of the apps in particular, but I've been using the phone for a few months now and haven't had any compatibility issues yet (that weren't fixed by the ROM developer).
It's been reported that changing the LCD density of this phone will cause app incompatibilites as mentioned earlier though. As long as you avoid that, I think you shouldn't have a problem.
I have plenty of games that I've played on the phone and all has worked so far. The only one not compatible so far is Asphalt.
Cm7 is pretty nice, also u can install the gapps and gapps-gtalk extra package when installing cm7, and the video call of gtalk will work well probably.I've tested it with a pc and this phone, videochat was flawless with the front camera.

Hey guys,
I just opened my camera app on my Nexus 5 and noticed a complete UI overhaul. Surprised as I was, I checked the play store and noticed the update. At the moment of writing this, I'm not satisfied by this ugly overhaul.
However, I noticed there is a different resolution/dimensions of the camera app and the default 4.2.2 camera app. However, it seems that the ugly, updated one has a wider angle of image shooting, compared to the default/old one. See my screenshots that i've added. FYI: The one with the big ugly black bar at the bottom is the updated, new version.
What are your thoughts?
Change it, plz. Google.

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.

How are other people dealing with the app icons that are introduced when updating the camera effects? Just leaving them in the app drawer? It's irritating having useless AR effect, AR fun, Background defocus etc icons in my apps folder.
I considered disabling the default camera and all these effects to get rid of them and using a more streamlined camera, but there's no way to change the default camera that gets launched with the physical button and the shortcut on the home page. Anyone got a (non rooted) workaround for that?
Thanks all! This is the last annoyance I have with the phone really. Any advice would be appreciated.

I took them out/disabled, as well. I also wanted a more slim camera app. Some are too gimmicky anyway lol. Id take out 4K as well since it overheats anyway with it but no option to remove. I disabled AR effects and AR Fun as well. The Info tool is kind of useful, detects books etc well.
Would have been nice if you could hide apps like in LG and HTC phones.
Has anyone noticed very very smooth display rendering animations when scrolling or swiping?
Is it just me getting this feature?
Also judging by the PPI of the new Pixel 4, it seems the display is from LG.
I'm getting blazing fast display animations...
I'm telling you, my display is suddenly extremely, extremely fluid. I know my phone since July and it hasn't been this fast.
I'm on 2340x1080 resolution...
Weird, I'm moving my finger in the screen up and down then up then down and so on extremely fast and the screen is extremely fast.
Almost 0 motion blur when scrolling text on white background...

Did you get an update that enabled this? Can you download an app called DevCheck from the Play Store and see what framerate it reports?

Hello, Mishaal!
I'm on September patch, but it doesn't require an update for LG to modify things in my phone. I've noticed many times my camera app was updated without me installing some Ota. That also happened also with my old lg g7. I've allowed Google and LG full feedback on Android.
I've downloaded the DevChec and as soon as I've opened it, the display wasn't as smooth as it was. Of course it reported 60Hz. Now I'm also with the same old fluidity of 60Hz. But I know my phone very well, it was on another frequency when I posted here. Either 90 or 120Hz. Couldn't tell.
Another interesting thing to notice is that the new pixels 4 have poled screens from LG. Maybe the same we have. Check it over the net, it's confirmed is an Poled.
Hope Lg gives me back that refresh rate... :crying:

Well, the V50 uses the same panel as the V40 (check kernel sources). No trace of anything above 60Hz in there.
Ofcourse they (you) can update the Camera app... just like any other system app, you can install updates for it (e.g. preinstalled everything, like play store or whatever, is also updating). Updating apps doesnt require an OTA, updating kernel/other system/vendor/product components requires an OTA (on pie atleast, on 10 theres the APEX stuff).
And just because the panel of the pixel 4 is also from LG, doesnt mean the same panel is in the V50/V40. Also the size/resolution of the panel differs anyway (might be able to cut it, but i doubt the controller really likes that).

HI, Markus!
Maybe the kernel already supports it and it allows remotely enable/disable. I know very well my phone since July 2019. Also never owned an 90-120Hz display. Also I know since 10 years what a 60hz is. But I know what it happened and what fluidity I saw the other day and it was not 60Hz. Hope someone else gets this.
If this is relevant or not, I was installing Ultra Corder 1.1.1 app cracked. After playing with it and exit that app I've opened Opera browser, then for about half an hour opened Facebook, youtube, Tidal and many apps. All of them had that fluidity. Then I went to sleep and the next day read the thread and installed Dev Check as pointed here. Since then the fluidity stopped. I've downloaded again Ultra Corder and installed it again but nothing happened so I think it's not a fault caused by ultra Corder.
The fluidity started with/in Opera app.
Noticed the 0 motion blur on text over white background when scrolling while holding the finger on the screen and moving up and down. I'm repeating right now that scroll and it has enormous motion blur.
If this is relevant, the screen flickered really bad on/off for a few times when I first opened Ultra Corder. But I don't think it has anything to do. I'm writing about it as it was in that very just before context when happened that fluidity.
Surprise! ?
Yep! ??????
Do you?
