[Q] How do I set a Button Shortcut to camera shot - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have installed the Close2Stock rom in my Xperia Play and liked the custom camera that use 'R' button to take shots.
Someone know if there's a way to set this button to camera apps from others roms?
Sorry for my bad english.

The right trigger was added as a shutter button in the 2.3.4 update, at least for the CDMA r800x I have. But that update is broken so I extracted the Camera.apk from the 2.3.4 ftf file and was able to install it on my phone, which I downgraded to 2.3.3, and now use the trigger to take pictures. The updated file also saves video in the mp4 format instead of 3gp.
I have attached the new camera apk. You can install it and enjoy the stock camera with the trigger working!

I don't mean to bump but just for future reference, no it does not. The 720p video is related to the kernel and cannot be fixed with a different camera app.

3D sweep panorama app with original camera app...

Pls port these for our PLAYS!!!
u know we do need other files aswell
The panorama beta app works perfectly on the latest build of cm7 I just installed all jar and xml files that came in the zip file and BAM! Panorama. I don't think it works at all on stock roms and I know it's not 3D but hey it's better than nothing!

MIUI Camera APK

Found a miui camera apk for the Amaze that works pretty well on our phones (no video though). Thought I would share it.
Link: Miui Camera
I find I can take better quality photos with the miui app which seems to have a better ability to handle exposure settings, and produces better quality images (especially in macro) than the stock app. I know a lot of people hate the miui camera but I'm not one of them.
Few samples (from my T989 and i9100)

Just wondering - is the Samsung camcorder disabled using this app? Is it possible to use the MIUI camera and Samsung camcorder.....
Of course It won't overwrite the stock camera app. You can still use the stock one at any time.

Lower ISO is normally better... ISO 100 would be best. Low ISO's and Low light won't work though....pictures will be blurry.

[Q] ICS Camera Modded for Xperia Play

Is it possible to mod ICS Camera for Xperia Play? making the <R> Button as the click for CAMERA..

The ICS camera app requires frameworks that are in ICS. So you likely won't get it on Gingerbread.
Now if all you want is to map the shoulder triggers to do camera functions, that is certainly possible. It requires reboots when you want to go between game and camera modes though, from when I last heard.

There is a free app on the market that does exactly that.Just search Camera Mod for Xperia Play.

[Q] App for panorama in CM7.2

I flashed official CM7(latest nightly) and I liked its performance. But I found out that the camera app was poor and it is not as good as the one in Samsung Stock firmware. Also, the panorama and smile shutter option is missing and there is no way to use flash in video mode. So I want to ask a few things...
1)Is there any good panorama apps in the market or somewhere else which is like the one in stock camera and which takes good pictures without blur? I need it very much!
2) Is there any way to enable flash in video recording?
3) Is there any app for smile shutter(I use it rarely anyway, mostly for showoff!
Thanks in advance!

Edit: It is not bad but panorama is blurry and the processing takes a lot of time.

Newer N4 camera app

I've built a zip of what I think is a newer N4 camera. I got the camera apk and it's associated lib files by downloading and deodexing the N4 factory image. I got the GMScore.apk from a the 4.1.2 MC3 firmware. The zip is zipaligned and signed.
I renamed the N4 camera to Gallery2 instead of GalleryGoogle. I've tested it (running MC3) and it works. It should replace the stock camera in aosp ROMs.

@Theshawty Works on cm10.1 roms and fixes the front camera too. The front camera no longer gets stuck when taking a pic and works normally

Supposedly, yes. It does not have the option to choose storage, though.

I'm still facing the flash problem but I can open the camera after it happened immediately to take another picture which wasn't possible before. The freeze of front camera is gone :good:
Does it have sphere function? Does it replace the CM10.1 cam. CM cam has now got fixed Touch2Focus.

Yes it has photopshere and yes it replaces the CM10.1 cam. Touch2focus should work as those as hal fixes I believe.
It works for me. I think the picture quality of this is better than CM cam (comparable to SS stock and Huawei cameras). But this Cam lacks several new features recently added to CM (except for sphere). Camcoding HD suffers from the same "distorted preview" as in CM cam.

I have just had a clean installation of the latest CM nightly, and CM cam has no distorted preview. But when I flash N4_cam, it still shows distorted preview in HD (720 and 1080) mode.
If you have no such issue, pls share the latest N4_cam flashable zip.
:highfive:
