[Q] Best Camera for Incredible - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's the opinion on best camera for the Dinc? Especially for low light. I can't stand the overexposure on indoor flash pics, regardless my brightness settings. Thanks.

I'm using the stock AOSP cam currently, its nice but doesn't have many "features". For cool effects the vignette app is pretty great.

My favorite is pudding cam. The only drawback is all the menus are in Korean or something and I have no idea what anything says. It does take beautiful photos though and it has lots of options of camera and film types.

The Sense 2 Rom's camera is awesome.. if using other Rom's try "Camera FX Zoom"

The one I use for any flash stuff is camera360 ultimate, with the light HDR setting it does a good job of eliminating those crazy over exposed flash pics. It also saves the originals so you can edit them with picsay pro. Which is by far the best post editing app I've found.

Evo camera has always been my favorite... pull it from warm two point two, not warm z.

I like the Z camera, but haven't found a version that works on other ROMs.

Found this over in the Android Apps and Games forum. It's the Sense 3.0 camera for Sense 2.0. Don't know if it works as I'm currently on SR4.

I don't know about still pictures, but I manages to get much better video and more importantly audio using the app "lgcamera."

Thanks Stoney, I've heard that too. To risk sounding green, how do you pull the camera and install it?

Just unzip the rom and look for the .apk that you want. Usually they are in a folder called 'app' or something like that.
Then use root explore to put it in your system/app directory on your device.
You may need to set the permissions correctly.
Reboot and enjoy!

cool.. so this actually decreases the flash level?.. does it do so by only using one of the flash instead of both or does it just use a lower lighting?

Full screen camera.

I HATE the stock ICS camera apk.
Almost half of the screen is waisted by the gray rectangle.
However, the HTC camera apk features full screen. And It has alot of useful features.
Is there an all that has full screen pictures while taking video and pictures THAT WORKS and has a wide range of features. I have checked the play store but there isn't any app that is as responsive as the stock camera. I have found one app that offers full screen but it's ehh.
Has anyone found a great alternative???

But I still wish it can have the full screen pictures and videos. I feel like I bought a bad phone every time I see dad's HTC phone camera APK turn on.

What do u mean how???
I'm using the Galaxy Nexus. i515.
If u got ICS 4.x.x then u have to HOLD LOCK and VOLUME DOWN together at the same time.
Then wait for a flash and done.
If u are below 4.x.x then this can be done and u'll need an alternative way.
Just because the viewing area is bigger on one camera doesnt mean that the pictures turn out any bigger.
For example...
Stock Camera...
Camera Zoom FX
Camera FV-5
Shot Control
BTW, can anyone guess what size the different cartridges are?

Interesting... You think you phone is crap because the image preview on the camera (just one app) doesn't take up the whole screen? You know what they stay, 'Its not the size that counts. Its the how you use it.'
Of all the camera apps i have i prefer Shot Control. It has a lot of features and is quite a bit of customization. It takes better pics than the rest of them yet has the smallest preview screen.
I think you are focusing too much on the aesthetics of the app.

Did you say almost half the screen is wasted by the grey rectangle? That looks more like 1/3 or 1/4.

Best camera app for the Galaxy S3?

Camera Zoom FX works well for me with the exception of a couple things.
1) Loads slower than stock camera.
2) No video capability.
I really like that I can click anywhere on the screen to take the pic. I don't have to click a particular button.
yup.
ProCapture is nice.

Have anyone done a comparison between Vignette and ProCapture? What makes you think ProCapture is better? My search suggest that Vignette's 3.1MP Superfine option produces better quality than the stock app. I don't know what kind of options that ProCapture have that pushes it above the competition.
I prefer using the Stock cam overall, but I do like to use Aviary and Pixlr-o-matic every now and again. FxCamera looks cool, but the lack of live filters is a big usability issue for me.
Pro capture is a good one for power use. Pudding Camera looks good also, but I didn't really like the lack of options in it. Also pictures didn't seem as sharp as with the Stock cam. I can't say much about Vignette based on the free demo, which isn't good enough to make me want to buy it. However, it does seem to have some nice features for taking shots and editing them.

Yeah the Samsung camera does all of that plus with a ton of more features/options, plus the pics taken with the AOSP are inferior IMO when compared to the TW camera. Only thing it has over the stock camera is photosphere but how many times are you gonna use that?

How did you install? Like a regular apk or push to /system/app? The ROM I was using already had a version of the AOSP camera in it so this wouldn't install so I uninstalled with TB, rebooted, then installed. Not sure if that helps any but my flash works okay. No FC's.

Yes it does, but it works oddly - sometimes it does, sometimes it does not.
Photosphere doesn't work in ViperX 2.7.4
Can confirm this. Photosphere doesnt work on anyrom
Older gallery.ak works
To enable photosphere.. Works on CM10.1..
1. download new camera and rename it to gallery2.apk
2. using file manager copy and replace old gallery2.apk in /system/app with new one
3.set permissions to rw-r--r--
4. reboot phone
5. Just install like normal application new gallery2.apk that stayed (where you downloaded it to phone) after copying
Just to say that this replace CM10.1 gallery so make backup of same
And for those that complaining about bad stitching in photosphere-because i saw that people using this in room and small places- i think that i saw somewhere that minimum distance of objects is 9 meters to get a good stitching-maybe in application hints itself i think
TRY THIS :
So i tried many zip files, all failed.
Try this one. Works. Created myself, took zips of the internet and copied files across into one.
IMPORTANT!!!
Delete ALL Gallery.apk and GMSCore.apk from SYSTEM !!
WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE

Which aspects? I've tried an aops cyanogenmod rom and the camera wanst bad at all talking about pictures, there was a lack of filters but I can live without them. What really matters to me is the video recording which was choppy at the output. Did you try this and goes the video and the output format?

I've been using 4.2.2 AOSP Roms for a while and the feature that I miss the most from Sense is the camera. The lack of features and of quality in this camera is not comparable to the Sense camera app. You can try for yourself and see what you'll miss, maybe you won't even miss anything, but I surely do.

After testing a few days i can produce really nice sphere`s. there is only one problem left at all.
Below you can see a screenshot right after i enable photosphere.... as you can see the horizon is wrong also it is tilted a little bit "backwards". Even with this weird behavior i can produce pretty nice photos/spheres.
IT MAKES ME MAD
it is not perfect and as long it isen`t perfect in am sad :-/ I callibrate g-sensor with gps-status (best opinion i know).... camera dosen`t care. whatever i set the sensor ..... its allways the same: horizon and little tilt.
Plz gimme a hint if you know a solution!

Camera Red/Blue/Pink tint dimmed for some users !!!

I took this apk from chineese forum's and for me this fixed red tint in low light for camera. Also seems faster and have option about video/audio bitrate included and menu transparency. I use in 802w Sense Rom but should work in international One too. Just give it a try. Make a back-up. Copy ( overwrite ) in system/app and set permision. Enjoy!
Edit: After more testing i noticed tint is gone only in lower ISO. On 800 and auto still exist. Anyway this is a good camera app with nice addition.

just downloaded viper rom and compare size of apk and is not the same, told ya this ive got on some chinesee forum. even if iit was the same i still got that app from chinesse forum )
Interesting, when I use the camera app the screen still shows purple when on it's back. But when I take a shot it takes a long exposure shot and the picture turns out fine.
Good temporary fix, at least.

Only real way to tell is via version number in conjunction with the size. (May have been modified by someone like that other camera.apk floating around)
This one is 5.1.620655, I don't know what version the Viper rom has, but the 4.3 leak (pre-ATT leak) is 5.1.2318223253.652993

Works fine for me, albeit slow. I'm on 4.3 SentinelRom btw.
EDIT: So I tried taking a photo of my feet under my desk. There's still purple hue, and it's a bit dark. It's odd though since there's no noise when I take a photo with the phone on its back. I suspect it just locks iso values. Not a real fix.

Same version number/size as the modified camera in that thread. Just because it came from a Chinese website doesn't mean it's from HTC.
