Best Camera app

Since everybody knows that GS3 has quite a few problems with the stock application, i wonder what would you suggest being the best camera app available around?
I have to say that i tried so far quite a few:
Camera ICS+ - not impressed at all. Seems like the photos come out more blurry than they would using the default camera app
lgcamera pro - really buggy, but has a lot of potential in my view
camera360 - pretty good considering it is free, but not without it's issues
camera zoom fx - which i find the best, because it seems to take it's time to focus and the photos do come out a little bit better. Also, nice stabilization feature.
ProCapture - Camera & Panorama - produced a few good shots too

Try this one.. There is a free and paid edition... Worth the money.. Makes great pictures..

I have this same HDR app. Takes really cool pictures, especially for pictures outside in the daylight!

Remote Viewfinder is the best camera application for my galaxy s3. By using this app we will be able to control focus, geotagging, focus, timer, flash and photo size all from the app

Try "procapture" coupled with "photo gallery(fish bowl)" .
Buy "procapture" and take some pictures in different environment.then return it within the 15 min window.
Check the pictures u have taken and be amazed.
Photo gallery is free.
Been using "procapture" for 5 month and nothing comes close to this camera.
Fast burst and panorama supported.video not

+1 on ProCapture.....it was my favourite app until recently .....all of a sudden im getting FC's on Omega V31 but when it did work it was freaking Awesome

Camera Apps noob question

Do any of the camera apps make the picture quality better? I'm using the stock Camera at the moment

Camera Zoom FX

I'm a huge fan of ProCapture.

I picked up the DSLR Camera app in the Samsung apps and I really like it, but I seem to recall that someone has said elsewhere that it is no longer available. I'm not sure, but if it is out there it is a great camera app.

Purchased the Jynxbox and was somewhat disappointed at first. The wifi antena is horrible, you want to use a cat 5 connection for this TRUST ME regardless what the box says your connection speed is, it is NOT!
Once you have it setup, immediately root it which you can do from the recovery screen. Careful, once your in the recovery screen, there is no way out of it till you root. So back everything up first.
Install MX Player, MX Player Codec arm6 & arm7
Launch MX PLayer, within settings select decoder: check mark S/W decoder (local, Network) Un-check S/W Audio. Now for CPU Core limit, set it to two as the Jynxbox is dual core. Color depth choose 16bit since we are using S/W decoding.
Now navigate to xbmxhub and locate the xbmc android download. Install this, and run it for the first time.
This should help you get the best 1080 resolution till someone tweaks XBMC to use hardware decoding on android.
Within Android settings, I specified the standard display screen size which for my gym screen its 720. I also set the Audio to RAW. This will help you TONS in regards to voice dropping out during playback.
Hope this helps,
John.

I purchased this unit and I absolutely love it. it was very frustrating at first to get it working just right. There is not a lot of information out there quite yet, but it is growing rapidly.
It certainly doesn't work out of the box as everyone states. Now that I finally got it all tweaked it is a great little device. I am looking forward to the future when all the developers jump on it and start tweaking it even more.
The gyro remote is very difficult to get used too, but once you do, it is quite nice. There are times it doesn't respond like it should.

If you install the non-neon version it prompts you to install a plugin for mxplayer for the neon compatible one. I'm using all neon mxplayer and xbmc and all is great

The Web Browser works fine, I also have facebook and twitter set up on it and many other programs and games. They all work great.
The biggest issue I found with getting XMBC to work properly was the "playercorefactory.xml" file. Most websites I went to recommend using the MX Player Free. I was having a lot of problems using just that player. So I downloaded Archos, TPlayer and WonderShare also. I set up my playercorefactory.xml file to use TPlayer as default.
I am using the following firmware:
last_update_Hiolux_20130205
And this is the version of XMBC I am using:
xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-2013-03-05-full-neon-a4e1e953d9cbfdc0b4d6b3624cdf289dd2ebf60e
Like I said, out of the box, it was very frustrating and unfortunately their isn't much information as of yet on the internet in regards to this little box. But I have noticed just in the past couple of weeks their is more and more people jumping on it. Once you get it running it is a great media player.

Does watchON work with Xbox 360?

Does the watchON remote work with Xbox 360?
I have me TV, BluRay, and AV receiver set up just fine with the watchON universal remote, but I can seem to fina way to get it to talk to my Xbox 360. Does anybody know what the trick is to get this to work. I basically just want to have the ability to turn on my Xbox and turn it off. Anything past that isn't required for me.
Thanks.

Ya. I was hoping somebody might have found an IR code that would work to simply power on the Xbox 360, since pretty much every other universal remote on the planet can do that and more. Too bad.

should work all the time, mine does. Make sure you are pointing it at the xbox, remember it is IR, so it communicates through light.

If you go to settings you can add a device to the room and when you select media player the is an option for Microsoft which will let the app control the Xbox.

Hmm, so the options on the remote for the Xbox are a bit lacking. Basically just power and navigation (see attached), with no option for numbers or changing channels in Windows Media Center. It also still uses the "TV remote" when using the TV guide. I use a cable card and media center but looks like the app doesn't support that setup. Still nice being able to turn the Xbox on.
Also if you have the Xbox glass app you can do things like open netflix, xfinity, or HBO go. They don't really use the glass app much, but you can do some scrubbing of video and the "controller" has a few more buttons like the Xbox home button. See attached screen shots for more details.

Anyone using for DSLR control?
