[Q] Where did the Camera App with the thumbnail go?

The generic default camera app my nexus came with, use to show a thumbnail of the last picture you took. It would just sit in the bottom right of the screen.
It was super handy, cause I could tell if I did indeed just take a picture of what I was trying to take a picture of.. ANNNNND if i clicked the thumbnail it would open up the photogallery.. tres handy.
Does anyone know where I could get that app? or if there is a better camera app that has the same sort of functionality? I think the Galaxy SIII defauly camera app does this.

In the camera app swipe the right edge of the screen left and it will show your gallery.

[Q] Photo & Video buttons on same screen?

Hi.. maybe i'm missing something (very probable), but i can't seem to find out if it's possible to have both buttons on the camera screen at once, for taking a photo or starting a video recording.
I've attached three pics to show what i'm on about.
1st shows M8 camera screen. Only button is to take a picture.
2nd shows M8 dual shot screen, on here it's possible to do both, take a pic or start a video.
3rd is from the One X camera screen. On it it's also possible to do both from the same screen.
Is it possible to get both options on screen on the M8? or do i have to keep switching between photo & video mode in the menu? which is a bit annoying if i want to quickly take a picture but have forgotten to switch to photo mode!
Thanks in advance for any help. :good:

That'll be a no then

By going to video mode (press the 4 circles in bottom right of the screen and select video), you can start recording video, and after you record a while, 2-3 sec, a camera button (that captures images while recording) appears under the stop button.
I don't know if there is any other way to get them both simultaneously.

The second pic is dual capture mode. This mode allows to use front and back camera at the same time not take a pic and video. You can see the red box in the corner which is the front camera image.

What i meant is that the buttons to take a picture or start recording a video are both on screen.
What i hoped for was a way to have it like the last pic from the One X, so that as soon as you start the camera up you can have photo & video buttons on screen.. but it seems as if that's not possible, maybe because of the two cameras on the back of the M8?

What about the Zoe option? You can take pictures with it or you can hold the "capture" button in for 3 seconds or so and it starts recording a video.

There already is that option in camcorder mode. As soon as you start recording the camera button becomes available for taking pictures.

This isn't exactly the best option since you lose any ability to use the duo camera effects if you take pictures with Zoe. Does anyone know of any mods that bring back the photo capture and video capture buttons on the stock Sense 6 camera UI screen at the same time?

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.

Unfriendly camera shutter

Hi
I have had phones with which I can shout photos by just tapping on the screen.
But this camera seems too limited, although photos are great.
I am afraid that if I use any other camera the postprocessing won't be so good and photos will be worse.
Any help to shoot easier with this, my new phone?

I'm confused. What do you mean by "just tapping on the screen"? The camera app has a big button on screen to trigger the shutter. Tapping anyplace else shifts the center of focus.

Go into the camera settings and there is an option to use the volume keys to trigger the shutter if that helps you

To each their own lol, but I would much rather have touch to focus than touch to shoot

It's compatible. For example:
Motorola: dragging the "circle" it focuses. Touching the screen, out of the circle, it shots.
Xiaomi: touching the screen, it focuses. Then, once focused, in the middle of the circle appears a camera which if it's touched, it shots.
