[Q] Password protect pictures

I have an HTC EVO and I would like to password protect or hide a couple of picture folders that I created. Any help in this topic will be of great help.

The kind I don't want anyone to see but me, maybe some day I'll post. Thank you I'll check it out.

All I have to say:

I use an app called File Copy
It is in the market it is discreet and cheap.
You can hide videos and pictures. I have never had a problem with it.

Just put them in a folder with a '.' before the foldername. In this case, it would be under .dirtyPics
Your gallery should ignore them then, the only way to find them is through file manager/astro. If you're using CM, then in file manager hit menu > exclude from media scan.

I use Photo Vault. Works perfect

Who the hell added those tags? please remove those

Hide it pro works. And it's nifty. Couple that with quick pic and you're all set.

The best way to prevent naked pictures of yourself from getting out is to not take naked pictures of yourself.

I just got a serious lawl from reading those.

Hide it pro. You can hide pictures, videos, apps and others. Shows on your app list as an audio manager. I sometimes use the audio manager feature only for the quick access to volume controls. Plus its free.

[Q] Best Camera app

After switching to Stock GB I really miss the sense camera app anyone have any suggestions?

I'm using the HTC amaze camera
sent from g2

im pretty sure the amaze cam is only for sense roms and like he said hes on stock gb

I use FXCamera from the market. Not quite Sense, but it has more features than the stock camera app. It's too bad the Sense app needs the Sense framework (though it makes 100% sense that it does) because I love it for what it's able to do.. Just made the transition back to AOSP just because =p

I think Vignette is a really good camera app. Costs a few bucks but is definitely worth it IMO.

I'm using ProCapture, it's pretty sweet. Many options, I really like the widescreen option for a panaroma shot.

Can I find ProCapture on market?

Camera 360 Ultimate is very full featured.

Lol but yeh FxCamera is great. I've been using since I had my Hero. I've tried a few others but keep coming back to it for some reason.

it says in free version that "PAID version available which adds access to higher resolutions."
does "higher resolutions" mean here, that higher than the camera resolution like interpolation or, the free version shoots at lower resolution eg. max 2mp may be? app seems nice but this sentence make me think...

I like the amaze cam mod.

Camera Zoom FX vs Stock Cam | 3rd party camera apps' picture quality bad, a myth?

So I looked into all the buzz about the Camera Zoom FX app and the app is quite nice. (For those who think its ****, it was, it looked ugly but a recent update revamped it.)
I played around with stock and camera zoom fx apps and compared pics. The quality seems to be the same and Camera Zoom FX also has hardware support.
I have attached test shots at the end but heres what I concluded.
Use the Stock cam if you wanna take pictures quickly and dont have time. It starts up instantly and the UI is simple.
Use Camera Zoom FX if you have time to mess with the photo after taking it. The app opens slowly. Takes like 3 secs to open. And shooting pics takes around 4 secs cause it zooms after you hit the shutter. Its instant in the stock app.
What do you guys think? What apps do you use. I personally have never used 3rd part cam apps other than stock apps. Camera is a huge deal and thats the only reason why I havent switched to CM10. (If anyone can post comparison via a CM10 rom it'd be nice. I know I can always flash the ROM to check it.)
______________
Those who use Camera Zoom FX for filters. Get Vignette, its wayyy better.
If you use any other app and think its better, list it below too!

I´m using stock camera.
I think its easier to compare these pictures with : http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/156694

I can´t see any difference between those 2 pics.

I use this app a lot, u have to say it produces the highest quality time lapse files of any app that iv tried and iv tried many! The burst feature works great, really like this app, worth the money for sure. I cant tell between the two above photos either.

I use camera360 for instant effects.

Need Help for Camera !!!

Hii
i am using gnex slimbean 4.3. now i am facing little problem with camera. it is not a big problem. but i need some help.
here is the screenshot on camera view. ( i always hide navigation bar, and status bar )

But while i tried to capture img,.. it ends like this
both are not the same. captured image resolution is 2592*1944.
but actual screen view area is 2508*1412
is there is anyway to add a particular resolution in camera...because recently i took more than 100 images. but when i saw those images again i cannot get the same view, as i saw in the screenshot.
sorry for my english...if anyone knows how to do this, pls guide me how to do this. thank you

That is how the camera works on most phones. The camera app is full screen, and the phone is 16:9 or 16:10 ratio usually. However. The camera takes shots that are more square, probably 4:3 ratio. Instead of having black columns on the side it cuts off the top and bottom in the preview. If you want it to look more like the screenshot, just crop it down. Another option would be to try an alternate camera app. I don't know of any in particular, though, sorry.

Yeah stock camera does that. Install an alternate camera app like Camera Awesome or Camera Zoom FX.

Sorry to necropost, but the new Google camera in the play store now has proper 4:3 ratio in the preview(among other neat features). I think you need KitKat though.

Photosphere on LG G3

Hey guys, I'm planning to order the LG G3 from AT&T today but wanted to first check if the photo sphere works. I hear there are issues with the focus (maybe something related to the laser focus). Could someone with an LG G3 install the google camera and give it a try reporting on the quality of the image?
THANK YOU!

Google camera works great. Here is a few pics. Focuses in very quick too. No settings for 4k recording tho. Sorry for the boring pics lol, i would say image quility is just as good from a stock google camera app

Thanks for the reply. Can you give the photosphere a try and see if the pictures still come out clean? I've that while the camera app works, the photo sphere doesn't. Thanks!

Well i havnt used that before but just took 1 so not sure if it does work properly

Thanks for this. I think it looks okay but this is a partial image. Any way to take the full one? Thanks again.

So how do you view a photosphere on the G3?

Google camera and Google Photos apps are all you need (Photos comes with G+ app, not as a standalone app) I have taken some photosphere pics both in and outdoors without issues, worked well and the results were quite impressive on each. Again, stock gallery app doesn't support this feature.
