Anyone got the Camera Zoom FX app to correctly tie into the hardware button to replace the stock camera app? I bought it last night on a whim, and it has a few advantages over stock, but i couldn't get the button to change apps. I even tried freezing the stock app and creating a Tasker profile and it didnt work.

Hi all,
I've noticed in a few photography apps which have a choice of either taking a picture or opening the gallery, that when you press the "Camera" option, it usually takes you to the stock camera but with the difference that there is no Record button, only a big capture button right in the middle.
Is there any chance of seing this as a seperate app or any way of creating a shortcut for it? I usually only use the camera and having to avoid the record button can become tiresome at times, even with the new 4.5 version.
All the best
Anyone here use this? I try to snap a pic in landscape and it saves it sideways. I can always rotate it, but I shouldn't have to. Camera ICS saves them correctly.
Using Tiny's CM10.1 rom.
Does the same for me. Cant find any setting to change it. I dont actually use the app anymore, but bought it back at christmas time when they had the sales for 99 cents. Thought the effects were cool.
Just realized that it does work... The wrong way. I turned it volume buttons down and landscape worked the way it should. There doesn't seem to be a reverse landscape option though. I think I'm going to email them and ask about it.

I always hold mine that way to take pictures - and I use Camera Zoom FX a lot, I have no use for the effects but it's one of the few camera apps that handles display rotation correctly. The stock app is the worst, it rotates the whole display and with the glitchy preview it's a nightmare. Camera Zoom FX rotates the buttons and nothing else, much less stressful on my poor Dinc's GPU. It does only work in two positions though, but I never noticed that before and I take a lot of pictures (it's easier than writing stuff down - lol).

I do like the stock camera and the way it's integrated with the gallery, but it just sucks on the Dinc. CZFX is a really good alternative. Camera ICS is nice but I like the look and features of this one more. I emailed them on the 21st. Still haven't gotten a reply. Volume buttons down just feels upside-down to me. lol. Hopefully they'll implement a reverse landscape feature sometime. Until then, I can deal. Just made it my default cam and assigned it to the Search hardware button. I don't use it anyway, so it's nice to have a dedicated camera button. I use QuickPic as a gallery, so I deleted the Gallery2 apk. Freed up some system space. Default gallery seems to take forever to refresh after I move pics around with a file manager (even after hitting refresh).
So here it is an app with witch i personally experience batter camera performance..
-Download this app from PlayStore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maartendekkers.cmapp
- Install CameraNext from app..
- Open Camera app and in the settings set focus to Continous picture..
try it and post here your feedback..if you like it push Tnx
Looks good. Respond is pretty smooth and fast.
However, panoramic mode doesn't work and crashed. But still happy with other features.
Do you have any idea on how i can make this camera app default camera app for T2? Like sliding on the camera icon in lock screen will open this app. My unit is rooted. Thanks.

The camera is pretty fast and panorama mode works quite decently. Do check it out.
Anyone have this problem? I am getting black screen when I launch the camera app with the shutter button.
do you have other apps using camera module or light sensors?
Yeah, google camera. The thing is everything works fine pre 6.0 update though
Bump
I am trying to set my camera up as a temporary streaming option by mirroring my phone screen on my PC with the camera app. The obvious issue being all of the UI on the camera preview screen. I have tried some of the streaming apps, but they don't have all of the features of the stock camera app (like utilizing the wide-angle lens). Does anyone know if I am missing anything? Or is it just impossible?
