[Q] To Anyone using CM7 n24 - Panoramic camera? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before I help my wife's poor Epic 4g,
Does the camera app on CM7 nightlies have panoramic photo abilities that the Samsung Gingerbread has?
If no, is it possible to get the Samsung Camera App.... and get it to run on this?
Thanks in advance,

If panoramic is in the CM7 camera app, I can't for the life of me find where to turn it on, so I'm going to say it's not there.
As far as getting the Samsung camera apk to work, I believe it is inherently part of the TouchWiz structure and can't be ported over to AOSP. Probably have to find a third party camera app that can do it, but I don't have any recommendations. It's probably the only thing I'm not happy about regarding CM7; definitely not a deal breaker, but I miss it. I recently took a trip to Peru and mostly took shots with my little Sony ultracompact, but any time I wanted an instant panoramic, I'd whip out my Epic.

I thought there are panoramic camera apps in the Market.

There are pana cam apps in the market. Cm7s cam is an aosp so it wont have all the goodies

Pano is what I use. It is a paid app but I like it a lot.

Perhaps they'll incorporate Panorama in CM9, as ICS Stock's Camera has Panoramic.

ICS Camera problem ! help please.

Does anyone here have problems with the camera app on the ICS leaks? on the E4gt ?? like The funny face effects? when you select them it crashes.. I'm on the Fc05 leak, and the ICS camera was downloaded from the market, since the ics rom doesnt have an ics camera. It comes with the touchwiz cam. Is there another app i can dowload that has the stock ICS camera app?? any help is really apreciate it.Thank you.

Must be the app you installed. Maybe it just a themed camera to look like ics. I am on cm9 and there is no "funny face effect"

Its actually the real App.. I mean it has the option to change the effects and stuff. It takes pics and all video perfect with the exeption of the crash when selection the real time face effects. I'm on Leaked ISC fc05 , but it doesn't have an ICS cam, it has the Touchwiz.

If it has options to add effects, then it NOT the real stock app. I have used cm9 since released for our phone and there is no effects option.
If you are using "camera ics" from the market then there's your problem.
It says in the description they added extra features. Email the dev who released the app on the market because you won't get any help with your problem here.

Ok thanks that one is it. So does this mean the ICS version in our epic 4g T wont get the camera with effects? The reason i ask is because I have a tablet and Just got an official ics update and it has the funny face effects.
I'm pretty certain No Stock Samsung ROMs will have "funny face effects".

Ah man that really sucks.. I was so looking forward to the real time camera effects On my ice cream sandwich ROM . Even the nexus has it. I hope that the official release has it.
It is the stock camera, the face effects are only in the settings menu for video recording.

Well the stock cam mine came with is the Touchwiz cam, I have "the goodness" ROM fc05. I didn't see any of those settings. All I see is gray-scale, sepia ect. ect. I tried the front cam and the regular cam and I dont see it. What ROM are you using and what cam apk?

[Q] Camera on CM10

I'm trying to figure out which to go with, the EVOLTE or the SGSIII. I saw in some discussions that the EVOLTE camera on CM10 was able to get some improve camera source code. How is the camera quality on the SGS3 using CM10? Is it just the standard stock camera, or has it been enhanced to get more of the stock camera quality?
cheers
Idk on cm 10 but the stock touch wiz camera takes pretty good pictures and i would upload one but xda app limits size like crazy

[Q] Best camera app other than stock?

I am running cm10 nightlies on my sgs3 and was wondering what app is a good replacement to aosp camera app? It doesn't take as good of photos as the touchwiz camera on stock, the light balance is too dark and flash gives it a weird hue. I love cm10 but need a better camera app and from what I gather, touchwiz camera apk only works with touchwiz ROMs. Suggestions?

Yes, the AOSP camera sucks big time and the interface is super, extra, ugly and outdated.
you can try lgcamera

For the majority of people, myself included, the stock Camera is just fine for PointAndShoot. I've even purchased CameraZoom when it was on sale, but prefer the simplicity of the default camera. "Best Shot", "Smile Shot", and the other TouchWiz gimmicks are almost never used.
Well I actually don't use any of the gimmick features of the stock touch with camera app, the thing that I liked about it was how it handled low light situations and getting the true color. I will try LG camera.
* I also purchased camera zoom on sale and am currently trying it out.
Any more suggestions? I don't need gimmicks and I don't need photo editing, I just need a very good basic photo taking ability

The best one I've used (and I've tried a bunch!) is the camera app that was included with the Serenity rom....which i think is just the ported Note II app. If you can get your hands on that, try it!
When I was on CM10 I used ProCapture. It lacks HDR which is a big deal for me, but it's pretty good apart from that. The TouchWiz camera is one of the main reasons I switched back.
i have cm10 and i use camera zoom fx it work just fine for me
Yeah...back to touchwiz myself... I am sorry but cyanogen mod just can't equal the picture quality of stock camera... I love aosp...but I have found a good compromise... use a touchwiz rom, use a good aosp launcher and keyboard, and messaging and gallery.... and you get to keep your good camera! Though on another note I am somewhat disappointed with the aosp keyboard now....the Swype is cool but just isn't add accurate as I would like... actual Swype I never have to correct... stock 4.2 keyboard is always getting my words wrong...

wow.
I find the AOSP camera interface great.
are you suggesting the tw camera app is more modern and less ugly interface, because it doesnt look that way here.
For the past week I had aokp on my phone, I was trying to make it work, and had used the camera a dozen or so times to take photos of the weather. I was pretty happy with it initially.
But then yesterday the camera started crashing and not working, a reboot made it work for exactly one photo so not good enough, so I switched back to neatrom (TW). Now by comparison this camera seems a lot worse in functionality. Is probably 70% configurable options missing, seems slower, so the menu responds slower and the focus is pretty bad in comparison it takes a while to focus and then doesnt stay in focus. On top of this I see can only have limited shortcuts at once meaning all the options are never accessible at same time, have to choose which shortcuts. I think the s3 TW camera app is poor, and am currently looking for AOSP camera to put on TW (but seems noone has bothered except chaos?) but would AOSP camera app still be unstable on a TW rom.
I like camera JB+... It does have a similar UI to the aosp camera though (I think I'm one of the few people who love the aosp camera UI).

AOSP vs TW camera

Been using TouchWiz since I got my phone (FreeGS3), now switched to LiquidSmooth (4.2.1), and it's awesome...
BUT, the photo quality on TW was MUCH better. So much that I think I'll switch back.
UNLESS anyone knows ... is there a camera app for AOSP that can match the quality of the TW camera?
Has anyone else noticed the inferior photos? Blurrier, less colorful, no HDR ...
And most idiotic of all, the whole "viewfinder" rotates from landscape to portrait ... which makes NO sense.
On a side note ... I wish someone would create a camera app like the HTC Evo 4G LTE where there are TWO buttons on the screen, one for photos, and one for video ... so that you don't have to switch apps!
Samsung's tw camera is the best...I have downloaded camera zoom fx and still the two camera is better by far...I wish there was an apk for the the tw camera on my aosp...all other cameras are slow

Porting the TW camera to AOSP is possible. The TW dependencies just have to be removed. I remember an old friend of mine posted a how to in the OG Epic forums... Might take a look and see if it's something I can poke into

I believe photosphere only works on 4.1.x AOSP based ROMs and not 4.2.x AOSP ROMs...

I have it working on my phone running LiquidSmooth. I have the zip that I used but cannot find the xda thread that I got it from. I'm a little hesitant on posting it, because it's not my work, but I also want to help.
Here is a link to the file: 4CamNex2.zip
This is the stock camera for the Nexus. All you have to do is flash it in your Recovery (I used TWRP). It has a working photosphere, but is very limited in the settings you can change. For instance, I cannot choose the storage location or HDR or any of the fancy stuff that comes with the LiquidSmooth Rom. You can see my screenshots I just took to see what it looks like.
What I have done to mitigate these limitations is that I kept the LiquidSmooth camera. When I want to use Photosphere (which isn't too often), I use the Nexus Camera, and all other pictures are taken with the Stock LiquidSmooth camera. When I do things like set wallpaper, I have to choose my gallery (two cameras = two galleries), but it's not too much of an issue for me.
Hope this helps, and if anyone can find the original thread with this camera, let me know and I'll link it (and remove my dropbox link). I want to give props to whoever created it.
So are the pics quality better with this camera mod compared to whats in liquid smooth ??

Can anyone recommend a camera app?

Okay so I started using the stock ROM but then I moved over to cyanogen for a little while only to find out that the camera in cyanogen was really bad so I move back to stock and I'm not saying I regret the decision but I really would love to go back to cyanogen so I was wondering if anyone might know of a camera app that is comparable to the stock app for this device any help would be appreciated!

yes I was using focal but i cannot have a buggy camera. im a photographer and I use my phone a lot for scouting for shoots rather than carrying around my main gear. need something that will replace the cm10 sh*t camera with good features and functionality as the stock camera on the s4.
ProCapture!
There's an .apk for the Google Edition camera over in the Themes/Apps section. I use it alongside the stock camera and it's every bit as good I think.

I disagree with the assessment that AOSP camera is sh*t. Kudos to the developers - it's pretty fast and very, very usable, and the swipe to gallery is great (haven't seen that in any other party camera app). I'm picky about the camera.
That said, if you're set to find a 3rd party camera, then look at Camera FV-5.
Compared to all the other apps listed on this thread, it's superior with basic camera features missing in the other apps, such as focus mode, manual ISO, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, grid layovers, etc. No gimmicky filters or effects like the others listed here. It makes a decent 'manual' camera out of the limited capability that the phone comes to begin with. It shows the 'life' shutter speed. Its auto ISO has a bias to go higher ISO than AOSP camera - up to 2000, so it may guard against shake but at the expense of grainier pics in the darker settings, but these phones aren't meant for that anyway. ProCapture is the closest to FV-5, but not as good for manual settings (i.e., after you set the exposure compensation on ProCapture, you won't see the value explicitly shown, so that could trip you). The one thing about FV-5 is it has a tad slower startup than the stock AOSP camera.
Updating my recommendation to either "A Better Camera" or Lenovo Super Camera.
