You know i been wondering... the camera application in our phone is after all a program that runs just like any other program in our phone right? thus being said... with all these applications made for the dash why has anyone yet to make an upgrade for the camera app? even tho the application is set to manufactures default settings so was the T-Mobile rom settings, but people were able to upgrade roms so why is it that we cant upgrade the camera app? maybe there is someone smart enough out there to think of this app. i mean all in all it would be nice to have some extra effects options or a brightness option you know... something to that effect would be a cool thing to have.
There are many Camera applications, I personally use the "stock" camera in conjunction with Cool Camera

yeah its kinda screwed up this app... maybe if you provide the settings you have set on your phone that way i can try to set the same thing on mine and then see if it will work or maybe you can guide me to a website that has more then one camera app on it that way i have a few apps to choose from cause you mentioned there was more then one. thanks so much.

It's not free to use.
camera
correct it is not free, the beta, if you can find it will work for a while.
The big change I would like to see is a better night shot feature, I had a wizard and with Cool Camera, you could select night and it acted like a night vision camera, it worked real well in low light.
I know the camera is able to do the function, it's just the programming that needs to be reworked.
yeah the camera can definatly be able to do that, but it just needs a program that will be able to do the cropping and expanding without killing the processor when taking a video and zooming.
thats why i liked nokias so much.. u could pritty much make an entire home movie on a nokia, and it will look professional.
the graduated zoom on them is amazing,...
Hi,
I tried searching the forum for any application or tweak that allows you to use the front facing camera. I am looking at mostly taking pictures.
I had a nec 616v and it was for video calling as well.
However, i could use the front facing camera, it really looked cool.
I was just wondering, if anyone know, about an application that can do the same thing for my touch HD.

Does any one know if cm7 is gonna make a better camera apk or a video one thats the only thing that bugs me i love cm7 battery life and all the extra features just sucks that you cant use all the EVO Eye candy camera and vid cause the camera on cm7 kinda makes your phone feel like a 5 dollar web cam. I love the stock cam and vid. Hope someone has some info and what do you all think about it? I love using my camera.
The camera will come around. Right now cm7 is technically still a beta so not everything is going to be 100%. So just hold out for a little while, it will get better

Does your camera make a lil clicky sound after you snap a photo or two off?
I PMd you, you can set it to widescreen in the settings, go to frame and click on fullscreen. There's tons of settings to try. Unfortunately it doesn't do video :/

The camera on cm7 does not seem to really take amazing pictures in the 8mp mode. Is there an app that can enhance this or is this just how it is? Also is there a ROM anyone recommends that is good for picture taking?

updated my post with a flashable zip
make sure you do a back up before you flash because it will replace you stock cam. if you dont like it you can just restore.
also check and make sure auto focus is off by pressing menu and then settings.

TBH, I've found the MIUI ROM faster as a whole than CM7. Use a different launcher and it's like CM7 but fewer settings/faster.

The thing about miui was it was overwhelmingly iphone like. I really didn't like how the settings menu itself was laid out being like an iphone and it was really bright and vibrant i like that cm7 can be dark including the messaging.

Are you getting the dark theme with the stock MMS app or a third party one?

I recently upgraded to 4.2.1(ParanoidAndroid 2.9.9) and the new camera(which I assume is the standard Google 4.2 camera) is very basic, and very weak compared to what I had. The old camera(which was also Google stock) had a lot of filters built in, and some hilarious distortions such as "Big Eyes" and "Big Head". My kids LOVE those. They are now gone, as is most of the awesome functionality I had. In it's place is Photo Spheres which I personally consider useless. Is there a way to get my old camera back? I don't want to be stuck on 4.1.1 forever but I hate this new camera!

You can install camera ICS from the market. The layout isn't exactly the same ( I assume it's mimicking the ICS camera layout) but it will give you back the filters, funny faces. And yes I wondered the same thing why did google remove them. Kids get tonnes of laughs out of those. I'd love to know how those decisions are made... 'Hey you know those features we've had in the wild for over a year? Yeah let's remove them'
my exact thoughts also, when i had the 16gb nexxy i updated and was VERY annoyed to find the effects deleted, so much it was one of the "cons" that pushed me into refunding for a non-updated 32gb version
im still 4.1 now lol i seriously dont understand why google would :
A: release nexus 7 without a camera app.....(yea i do know why but lame excuse)
B: when you update to 4.2 it deletes any camera app and replaces it with dah dah duh daaaaa a broken one with non-working photosphere.....wtf?
sooooooo mmmmm yeah ill remember this thread when i come to updating

Well I assume he meant the PhotoSphere which as best I can tell is not functioning correctly. I have not yet gotten it to work at all.

Because it's not supported for front facing cameras? That's not broken, that's design.

First of all, the app doesn't know which way your camera is facing, nor does it care. Second, I didn't even try it on my Nexus 7, I tried it multiple times on my Galaxy Nexus. Still broken. Never got a decent result. You may say it's operator error, but that's a ridiculous statement as well because it's pretty self explanatory.

ok so look basically it would be very stupid putting diesel into a petrol as it wouldn't work......
acer made it to remove any cam app we had previously then installed a app exactly the same but without the working effects, .... only 1 broken one..photosphere,
saying that its supposed to only work with a front face cam....well then why go to the trouble of jacking our old app and putting one with a feature we cant use......? :good:
Just saying, the app does know which way the camera faces... I assume something in the data for the camera tells the app its front facing. This is probably useful for apps such as Skype too.
When you try photo sphere, it says sorry not supported with front camera.

the strange thing is, you would think panoramic shot wouldnt work, yet in the cam effects pre-4.2 you can use panoramic efect albeit frontcam only, it did work thou.
i think photsphere from front cam, while your in the middle of the shot with the world spinning around you would be a great effect anyways.

You lost me at "Acer". And I hope you realize this is a general "4.2 Google Apps" statement, not something Asus did.
