while cm7 and other AOSP roms can, either directly, in display brightness settings, or through apps (screen filter, Moon + reader etc)? The same apps don't work with the softkeys in sense.
Am currently on cm7, mainly because of the darn softkeys blinding me while reading or watching vids.
And is there a camera app for cm7 that does auto focus, like the HTC camera app? And how about internet pass-through?
It seems I need a combination of both types of Roms!
Have you tried the Miui Camera? I was using it with CM7. It's pretty nice, has Autofocus as well as Antishake.
It can be installed as a system app and replace the stock camera (rename the apk to camera, and place in the system app folder and change the permissions. or just install as a stand alone app. I chose to replace my stock camera.
If you have any issues, let me know.
Thanks!
I'll give this app a try!
Mine must be broken because they are hardly blinding.

I just installed it! First time I had a chance to use the barcode scanner.
Nice app! Is there a way to zoom in using video? And can I use the front camera with it? I haven't found an option for that, so far.

I don't know of any way to zoom on the video.
I have the front facing camera option on the left hand side of the screen near the top. It has a camera with arrows around it. I'm not sure if it is on the version I linked though. I've switched back to the Miui rom and using the lastest version 1.9.9 which has the front facing camera option (works for both camera and video)... I can try and pull the apk and see what happens if I flash it to CM7 later...
Thanks! I would appreciate this very much!
PS: I'm still hoping someone can explain why there is no control over the softkey lights in sense roms.
For example, screen filter and Moon + reader can both turn them off using AOSP roms, but the same apps cannot in Sense roms.
Is this something that is easy to add and nobody else wants this function, or is there something in the sense roms making it hard to incorporate?
Tried flashing the camera from the latest Miui build (1.9.9) in CM 7... no luck, just force closes.
I'm sure there may be someone out there that knows what needs to be modded to make it work. I wish I did...
I'll enclose the apk if anyone wants to try to mess with it.
Thanks a million for trying, Don!
No problem. Good luck on the backlighting.
I enjoy being able to kill mine when reading books. It's a nice feature to have. Crazy that on the sense based roms that dimming the display doesn't effect the soft key back lighting like it does on the Aosp roms Crazy..

The Fixed2 version doesn't have FFC support. There is also a TEST1 version which has enabled the FFC for some. The link in my signature will take you to the post about Fixed2 but it also links to TEST1. I'm currently working on the version from 1.9.2 so if you want to try it out, PM and I'll give you the download link. The only reason I'm not just posting for everybody right now is so people on various devices/roms give feedback about what needs fixed and tweaked.
As far as why we can't take the app right from MIUI and have it work is because it's dependent on pieces of the MIUI framework. Basically, to make it work the apk needs to be decoded and have some of the framework added to it. Would be a lot easier if MIUI was open source.

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.

Hey fellow 4G Touch Users ... So I tried an ICS build last night( Thanks to Phantom and the awesome Blazer ROM ), one thing I noticed is that the ICS camera is vastly better at focusing than the Gingerbread version of the stock camera.
I attribute this mostly to the fact that you have touch to focus on the main screen of the ICS camera, once I touched to focus on ICS it would lock the focus and take the picture as is.
In Gingerbread I don't see the ability to touch to focus like this, please someone correct me if I'm wrong or missing something. When I take a photo in Gingerbreads Stock Camera, it seems to re-focus then take the picture, which, most times, will leave the photo out of focus..... Personally I -hate- this.
With such a great camera hardware wise, does anyone know if there is a way to enable this feature, or get an app that does this? I've used Camera FX, but the options I see for focus that even comes close is fixed, which doesn't seem to be good at all.

It should be set automatically to tap to focus. I have mine set to auto focus and it still can tap to focus.. If anything try to uninstall and reinstall the app. Or you might have reflash the Rom. The Rom might have tweaked the camera

didnt know if anyone wanted it.
it opens takes photos does panoramic but photo sphere doesnt work says phones not supported it installed as a downloaded app so you have it and stock im using rooted stock v3
It's POS in comparison to our TW camera. I tried it (from different source). Sphere works but there is no viewer for it so it has to be uploaded to G+ and viewed on the computer.
Otherwise it lacking so many features it's almost unusable.
Takes pictures but that's about it.
yea the panoramic and sphere feature is the only thing cool about it.
Try the one mentioned by ramjet in this post. I believe it has been patched to remove the device check. I tried it on my EVO 3D and it worked. The sperical view in the gallery works just as intended.

It works great, no FC for me.
what specific version did you succeed in trying on the sprint note 2? does it install ALONGSIDE stock camera and gallery like it does on my S3 ?
the tw camera is pretty dope is 4.2 cam better ?
the 4.2 camera is total CRAP (compared to the S3/N2 camera). but you want it. because photo sphere is "dope" as you say I run them concurrently on my S3 I hope to do the same on my new N2.
Well i know there are lot of threats on this topic but i want to ask each and everybody for a while that is it possible to make a camera app similar to that of sense camera.
i will explain how. the sense camera has a great working on focusing the particular area on the screen. i mean for example you want click a flower then in sense camera app you just have to put your hand on the screen and it will tell the camera sensor to zoom on that particular level.
now this functionality is sort of supported by MIUI camera. but not a single app on the play store ever able come at par with the sense camera app. i tried and flashed almost all the apps available from marked, but in vain they failed. the image processing quality of sense app is also much better.
will we ever able to get like that kind of camera app for out willy. still in know that the sense framework is closed source but still getting the same fun of 2.3.7 will a great add on.

Camera KK this looks like it was built with CameraNext and has had the best results from any camera app on Fire Phone I have used. Even with flash!
I attached some unaltered shots outdoors and indoors with lights on and off in my server room.
Free has ads and $1.99 to remove them. So try it and let me know any tips you might find.
Still has flash issue in low light. It's going to take more than an app in the store to resolve the issue.
Nice, good find, flash pic quality looks similar to the ones from Snap Camera... I found the post I was thinking about:

I tried reducing exposure -1 and that did a little but the flash normal was also pretty good. The pic from the op was in a completely dark room so have to see what low light looks like.

Oohhh very nice, that's a very solid result for basically "default settings"! Will download it and take on a "test drive" tomorrow.
Compared to the pics taken with the new Huawei Mate S, why are we even complaining... :laugh:
(...added the quote about the Snap Camera settings in my previous post, SC requires a little more work to yield good results...)
HDR freezes the app... sigh...
... and so will * every other app when using HDR. I don't need it, some people can't live without it (looking at you, russy23 ^^).
Camera KK is a solid alternative to Snap Camera or Camera MX, and easy to use because of the stock Android look & feel.

Camera Zoom FX
I tried taking HDR pics using Camera Zoom FX and it didn't crash.
I also found a good camera app that works great on the slimcat rom: cymera. Flash works and great filters are integrated. Couldnt find an option for HDR though...
Could someone try Simple Camera, it went free in the amazon app store today. Didn't know if maybe being from the Amz App Store might make a difference in getting a good flash... I'm back on Stock Fire OS right now so I can't try myself...
Thanks,

Thanks for mentioning (It's free in the US store, in Germany for example, they want 74 cents, hehe)
But sadly, being from the Amzn Store means nothing. A lot of "Devs" (more like "copy paste coder" ^^) publish their apps on multiple portals to make a little more $$$. This app is the exact same version as on Google Play Store.
It's based on OpenCamera, it even creates the "OpenCamera" subfolder in the "DCIM" folder. ^^ Default settings: flash pics are overexposed...
edit: Also tried "Cymera" on the weekend. It's, uhh, very "girly". For people who love filters & gramin' it's a feasible alternative, I'll stick with the "functional" ones, like Camera KK.
Can't you use the camera apk from Fire OS? Or does that require all the Amazon framework, kernel, our HAL stuff?

Correct, source code for the camera HAL is needed. Highly unlikely that it will be released by Amazon.
Oh wait, we're all getting bootloader unlock codes for Christmas when they put the developer version under our trees.
LOL Camera KK force closes on me. Cymera works though.

I bought Snap Camera, it has a good amount of options for people who want to customize their photo settings.
Quality is good, flash pics work too, you can correct the exposure if needed (other apps have this as well, ofc.)
Right now, I'm still using Camera KK (free version), because I just need a simple "shooter", just like the stock android app.
Anyone found a decent camera to take pictures when light is low without using flash? My pictures are always too dark even if I try to change light exposure...
