Hi, all
I'll be switching over to AOKP (probably once build 40 comes out) from Juggernaut, but my only hesitation is losing the stock camera app, which I've come to love.
Any recommendations for a replacement with the same feature set? That is, one that takes advantage of all the tweaks available for our camera (exposure, metering, ISO, white balance). I don't care so much about filters (I prefer taking "regular" photos) or upload/sharing capabilities. I just want to take high quality shots with a stable app, preferably one that's not particularly resource heavy.
From what research I've read, these are the apps on my watch list:
Camera360
CameraZoom FX
Vignette
IgCamera
Any recommendations? Thanks, all
I use Camera FV-5. I am a semi-pro photographer and this app makes me miss my 5DMKII a little less.
Bro I use procapture and it works great. Way better pics.

Hi, have been using stock sgs camera. Its okay.. but was wondering if there's a better camera app out there.
When I had my HTC magic, camera 360 really improved the quality of the photos.
But when I compare the photos I took on my sgs from the stock camera app vs camera 360, I kinda prefer the stock camera colours.

Have you tried Vignette.It has loads of different settings.
I've only tried the demo version of vignette. And that does not allow the 5mpx resolutions to be used. Besides the array of settings, does vignette actually improve the quality of the photos taken? Thanks.

The full version of Vignette does indeed take better quality images, but it takes significantly more time to process the photos.
i just tried vignette and the quality was near enough the same .. refunded it cos it wasnt worth the money
the camera is the only thing i dont like about this phone
Have you tried the Photoshop app? Its not exactly a camera application but it has lots of settings for touching photos up afterwards. Maybe one of the filters will give you the effect you require
I too would pay for a real pro app. Something that will take higher res panorama shots and something with a real HDR function. By real I mean not a simulation and not tone mapping from the gallery pics. There's a app for the iDevices that works wonders on the iP4. Tried everything so far, still waiting.
Try: camera 360 pro

360 pro simulates HDR and simulates a lot of other stuff, we need a app that actually takes better shots etc. At least that's my experience with it.
The camera apps on the android market are really sub-par.
I don't use the camera much to begin with, but an app as good as Hipstamatic or Camera Pro like on the iPhone would be great.
Vignette has an ugly interface and has average picture quality, and Retro Camera has horrible picture quality.
Does anyone know of a good camera app? I have seen many on the market, but after tests, I haven't found a decent one. The one the G2 comes with is a pain. I have done some googleing as well but haven't found a decent one yet.
Just wondering
Thanks!

I really enjoy VIGNETTE

I like camera 360
I prefer the stock camera app for just snapping quick pics, I like the custom ones with more options like in CM roms though.
For taking quick artsy shots, Retro Camera is dead simple, Vignette and Camera 360 offer more options but not great for quick shots.

I like to snap pictures of friends and sometimes during sports games. I usually just deal with the stock app, but after last night of the app messing up every picture, I want to find a new app. I really like Vignette and Camera 360, it's just hard to pick one. Thanks for the app suggestions.
It would be nice if the stock cam would focus with out wobbling around and every picture I take has spots in it pink an fuzzy if you zoom in just a little I use snap shot pro now its in beta but its better than stock far from HDQ

I go back and forth between Vignette and Camera 360 my self. Both r really good.

I heard that, I was wishing someone would just rip the app though. I'll give Snap Shot Pro a look.
EDIT: I can't seam to find Snapshot pro on the market.
I too would like to find a camera app for quick shots. One that used the volume control for zooming!
I'm running snap photo pro beta for g2 and can say its good.

It's a beta app you need to contact the dev by email are use the nexus one app

I'd like a camera app that shoots HDR photos (more than one photo taken at different exposures) since camera 360 has a simulate HDR but not a real one.
vignette is the best one. It is more of a pro camera. Camera 360 is good for the effects.
Vignette has settings to which it allowes you to adjust your camera to your likeing.
my current setup
when activation, click on the settings and check all minus "save originals" just for my prefference.
then
click on the middle icon which is on the right side and use these settings
auto
auto
auto
center
auto
one click to the left for brightness
2 clicks to the right on contrast
saturation is normal or one click to the left
sharpness is 2 clicks to the left from the s in sharpness
use superfine in 5 megapixel and default camera folder save. save as date and time.
those are my settings. looks better than camera 360. NOt only that, it integrates well with the software from the phone and you even have a video button.
Is "Camera Magic" available for the G2? I have it on the G1 (running Donut)
It's my fav camera app so far, the white balance adjustments on it work extremely well.

Nice, did you just install the apk from the CM 6.1 rom onto Enom's rom?
I just use the default camera app, it does what I need it to

hey i wanna know some good app for clicking pic like a DSLR camera .. lol kidding.. want a app that uses the wfs camera AT ITS OPTIMUM level.. and gives me the best pic it can everytime.. let it be a paid app or free but tell me some nice ones thanks in advance..
Camera zoom FX, Camera 360, Camera ICS, ProCapture, MIUI camera.
All of them give, more or less, similar results (you can't expect pro photos from mediocre hardware) and all of them has options that makes them diferent:
- Zoom FX and camera 360 have filters that you can apply right on picture;
- ProCapture has interesting and usable panorama mode;
- Camera ICS has 2x video birtrate recording... etc.
But... what i learned from years of photo hobby and what i missed from stock camera (don't use stock rom long time now) was "touch to focus" option which is visible right on display and really makes changes to exposure of photos. Camera 360 has that one but it doesn't do anything (at least for me) to exposure at all.
So curently i use MIUI camera which have that possibility and it does make photos as close as possible to what i want.
UCam is a better cam app. You try it

Anyone have recommendations of third party camera apps for our phone? Running CM 10.1 and really dislike the quality of photos taken with the stock camera.
I have Camera Zoom FX and it is pretty good. Anyone have recommendations of a different third party app that works well? I am looking for the best quality picture with everything set to 'auto' as I am by no means a photographer. Thanks!

Try LgCamera: It was simple and very fast for me and sometimes people don't want 400 settings, filers, moes, etc.

what camera apps do you use or do you use stock?
I've been using Snap Camera HDR, mostly because I got used to it on my n7100, and that seems to work rather well.
I use Focal, comes with CM. But there is an apk floating around out there
I use a few of them Camera FV-5,Camera 2,UCam and Snap Camera.All work pretty well.
cymera: a good free program that lets you photo shop and take photos
a bunch more but the only con is that it has a slow shutter rate
