Using the camera while on the phone hack?

Is it possible for you to be able to use the camera while on the phone. Is there a hack for that?

very interesting...
only the STOCK Samsung camera App will give you that message
but if you use any of the Market camera Apps like FX camera or paper camera, vinegar camera, or any other camera they all works even during a phone call

Camera app/ no shutter lag

Don't like the shutter lag on the stock lg camera, here's an app that does the job
Very fast and simple to use. Down side is u can't take 16:9 pics

Here's a direct link to the app

Camera App
I like the fact that the ICS Camera App let you snap a photo using the volume buttons, but it took horrible video. Not even close to HD...

hi, but why when you use the third parrty camera app, ex. camera zoom, procapture, the exif information change??

On Screen Shutter

Am I the only one who is sad that the Stock Camera doesn't have an on screen shutter? I wish it did. It has so many more customizable options than a third party app like Camera Zoom FX or UCam. Sometimes it is awkward trying to hit that tiny little shutter button. Especially chasing a 2 year old. Any thoughts?

Doesn't it have like power or volume shutter

No. That would be awesome too. Apparently I dont have the correct Kernel that supports the MIUI Camera with the power button shutter. That would be very streamlined.

Certain roms have the power/volume shutter button option but I'm pretty sure that the camera ICS app has that option too.. And there is a free version in the play store

I'm on the Darkside Evolution v8. The camera that comes with it doesn't hVe it. I'll check out the ICS camera in the play store. See what it has. .
:Update: The ICS Camera in the Play store has the ability to use volume button as the shutter. It works well. I wish it had more custom options but it fits the bill. Thanks !

Camera auto focus

Is there a way to mod the camera so your can manually focus the shot? Sometimes when in macro mode it over focuses and the image is still blurry.
Thanks

not sure if this is what you were asking for. simply touch the spot on the screen where you need focus before taking a pic?

No that just tells the camera to focus on a specific area of the screen. What I'm wanting to be able to manually adjust the amount of focus on an image

ok, you need "focus ring" like capability. I am not aware of any cam app that can do that. i don't know whether the camera firmware provides interfaces for such (low-level) functionality, but an indirect method would be to use a reference ruler in the pic for gradually adjusting focal length ( still a pain, I know).

Better Camera App

Hey I'm currently using slim bean 4.2.2 build 8. I'm looking for a better camera app on my phone because the one that comes with the ROM is very buggy. Does anybody have an app that still has the stock Google 4.2.2 look and feel that is fully working?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I've used this one on my phone.
Don't know which camera comes with slimbean though.

Have you tried the 4.3 stock camera?

What's wrong with the camera? Not buggy for me. I like LG Camera from the play store
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Snap Camera from the play store works well and has the 4.3 interface

I like the 4.3 stock camera, it gives you the photo sphere option. Other than that, a camera is a camera to me.

How about camera zoom fx... havent tried that, but heard about its reviews....

Snap Camera is by far the best. Ive tried them all.

I also vouch for Snap Camera. It's like stock but with added features and simplicity.

Have to agree with ya'll, Snap Camera is pretty awesome.

Okay, I'm going to be honest here...
Normally I ignore app recommendations from this site because sometimes they're just god-awful... but lgcamera is pretty amazing. It's got plenty of advanced features for serious photographers that left their SLR at home and stumble across a perfect photo opp.
Extremely fine ISO control, plenty of resolution choices, AND the ability to set volume up as focus, and volume down as capture.
Overall, with my small snap on telephoto lens for proper zooming and a touch of manual focus, this app has restored my faith in non-SLR cameras for hobby shots. Best free camera app there is, even if the interface is hideous.

Never tried snap camera but I have a copy of the Google photo sphere (awesome features) camera, this seems to give me much better stills and video compared to the gs3 stock camera. Pm me if you want it I'll forward it to you.

Can I install the 4.3 stock camera in 4.1?
Sorry I'm noop

Has anybody in their search for a good camera alternative ever run across one that has anything like the drama mode on the S4? I would love to have that. Thanks for any ideas you can provide.

Slightly off topic, I was playing around with the Touchwiz version of the camera for the i747M and it has the anti-shake feature that can be toggled on and off. Is that a HW or a SW based feature?
I like the Touchwiz customizations in some sense but the low DPI hurts my eyes

snap camera win here.

I use CameraJB+ and absolutely love it I used CameraICS+ on my Infuse 4G before this and it took better video and pics than the stock camera......

+1 for camera jb+
