Camera apps

I tried 2 camera apps- camera zoom and hdr camera+,2 of the best camera apps on the market. Camera zoom offers an interesting feature of touching the screen to take picture,thus preventing oof pics,as mentioned in another thread. Hdr offers excellent color saturation,the hdr effect by itself doesn't offer anything special.
My opinion- Both camera apps lead to loss in detail or excessive graininess, picture quality is the best in the default app only,in terms of details and color fidelity. But I want the extra feature of color saturation. I want my pics to look bright and vivid like on the sgs and gs2.

Camera zoom-
Default camera-
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
So here's to clarify:-
The difference in quality is not obvious in the 5mp shot, its when you zoom out on an object.
1.In that case, stock camera app is noticeably better at capturing all the details.
2. Camera Zoom has a lot more options, i personally tend to never use them.
3.Stock camera app would be awesome if it had touch to shoot, it goes out of focus rather quickly,but that effect would not be obvious if you are in your room and shoot an object at a constant focal distance.
4. Here again, on 4.0.3 aokp(because thats what i use and love) stock camera first focuses then shoots on pressing the shutter, which gives pretty good pics, IMO, on par with camera zoom focus level.
5. My main gripe, is the color of the stock app. Its natural looking colors, perfect for most ppl, but I like my colors to be vibrant and saturated so that when i show my gallery to dumb ppl, they go "wooooow". HDR camera + gives nice saturated colors, thats what i would like in the stock camera, "saturate option". thats not there even in camera Zoom.

Unfortunately, there is little that can be done with the stock app. You could try changing the scene mode or the white balance and see if that gets you the desired effect. You could also use the editor built in to the gallery. Good luck.
Oh, and nice pics...corona and papa johns = one bad morning. Lol.

You can edit pictures from the gallery and can adjust saturation and such

Personally, I found QuickSnap free on the Market and preferring to use this instead of the awful stock camera. I am no photographer but like the quality of results from QuickSnap.

For what it is worth, I picked up Camera Zoom FX and it seems to have been a good choice over the stock camera app. The difference was noticeable for me.

Have you tried the MIUI camera app?

yea whr is it? Moreover I was referring to some devs working their magic on the stock camera app to add some more options.like saturation etc... colors, even though accurate, seem pretty dull here. Not bad, mind you, because it takes pics with high color accuracy, just that if it were more saturated, it would look better.

Crap. Let me get the other file. I had a couple different versions so i wasn't sure which one I had used. (Yes, I was too lazy to check.) I'll get it up in another minute. Lol.
Edit: Okay, this should take care of it for ya.

I need to check these out on a computer later but what do you guys think? Other than the focus issue I don't see a difference, but my eyes may not be trained as well as you guys.

Galaxy SIII eye movement screen on for Nexus?

SIII has a feature that tracks eye movement to keep the screen on while you read. This is the only feature it has that i wish my Nexus had. Anyone know if this is an apk or app that can be ported to the Nexus?

Believe it has a sensor that is used that the nexus does not. I am not positive on this though.

If we can get a full dump from a GSIII we can port it, assuming of course it doesn't require touchwiz libs/framework/etc.
Also have to get it to work with our front facing camera.

I think so too but otoh if working properly and efficiently it should save on the button usage and should save on a quicker screen off since screens are the battery munchers. And so far initial reviews say the gs3 is great on battery and many reviewers like the feature. If the gs3 had software buttons i would be an early adopter. Oh well. More nexus for me.

Not to mention that it requires the sensors to stay active at all times, even when screen is off.

Basically, it uses the phone's gyroscope to detect how the phone is being held in order to keep the screen on. It's a very good app.

I see two panes in Gmail app: left pane shows all the labels & right pane shows email message. But, while in portrait, if you were to select an email message, it will switch to 1 pane. For landscape, it always shows 2 pane.

Actually with some software tweaks, it can possibly improve camera quality. The best way to tell the difference is to side load 4.2 and 4.1 camera apk and take a picture of the same thing under the same conditions and compare.
It's like saying, a apk made your phone faster? Software is just as important as hardware. They rely upon each other.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I've actually had a few devices where a SOFTWARE upgrade has made my camera better. Droid Incredible, upgrade unlocked 1080 recording. Nexus 7... upgrade unlocked 720p recording...
It happens.

Of course software can improve the camera performance. Like white balance, exposure and such. Probably not the noise in the images though unless you add noise reduction. I prefer noise rather than smudge though. But we got enough of both already.

I just went to a new rom, so I currently don't have the 4.2 camera.
From memory, the quality wasn't that different for me, but I'd really agree in saying software can improve the IQ. Most of my pics turn out too bright and hence wash out the colour, a simple edit and changing the highlight slider to darker makes the pictures look much better. I mean, if the camera did this itself better, the pictures would turn out much better by default. Wish the 4.2 had HDR as well.
How do you guys share the photo-spheres?

HDR is 100% software based. All it does is take multiple pictures with different exposures in quick succession (3, 5, etc.) and combines different parts of each image into a final HDR image. There are already a bunch of 3rd party camera apps available on the Play Store that offer HDR modes and they work just fine on the GNEX.
While the final images may look better on the N4 because of the better sensor/optics of its camera, and while these images may be saved a little faster because of its faster processor (but the GNEX is also working with smaller file sizes, so even the speed difference may be negligible at best), I see no reason to believe this would not be possible on the GNEX, especially since it has that zero-lag instant shutter.
If the GNEX is able to handle Photosphere, it should be able to handle HDR just fine.

I know this is unrelated to the original thread, but it's still somewhat related.

I haven't had any problems with it. I even tested the video recorder, and nothing was wrong with it. Even viewing spheres is fine. My only nit pick is the rotation lag.
What problems were you reading? Maybe people are flashing newer or older versions.
You can install it and not use it, after flashing I got two camera and two gallery apps. One old one new. Both functioning fine.
