Hello,
in an earlier version of the SIII (or SII i'm not sure) there was a mode in the STOCK camera where you could shoot a photo with a stroboscopic effect. I thought it was called Action mode. When you wanted to make a pic, you had to follow the moving object and then you would get a sort of panorama from a moving object.
I've attatched a example of a pic I made with action mode on my SII 2 years ago.
Is there any way to get that mode back? Because i can't find any apps that offer the same thing. I would like it very mucho!!:laugh:
I'm running a rooted stock 4.2.1 (XXEMB6) if that helps
thanks in advance!!!
Really? No one?
I miss this feature too but on s3 no this mode

I Know:crying: That's why i'm asking if anyone know how to get it back. Maybe a camera mod or an old camera port. I'have no expierience in modding so I have no idea how to do it myself

didnt know if anyone wanted it.
it opens takes photos does panoramic but photo sphere doesnt work says phones not supported it installed as a downloaded app so you have it and stock im using rooted stock v3
It's POS in comparison to our TW camera. I tried it (from different source). Sphere works but there is no viewer for it so it has to be uploaded to G+ and viewed on the computer.
Otherwise it lacking so many features it's almost unusable.
Takes pictures but that's about it.
yea the panoramic and sphere feature is the only thing cool about it.
Try the one mentioned by ramjet in this post. I believe it has been patched to remove the device check. I tried it on my EVO 3D and it worked. The sperical view in the gallery works just as intended.

It works great, no FC for me.
what specific version did you succeed in trying on the sprint note 2? does it install ALONGSIDE stock camera and gallery like it does on my S3 ?
the tw camera is pretty dope is 4.2 cam better ?
the 4.2 camera is total CRAP (compared to the S3/N2 camera). but you want it. because photo sphere is "dope" as you say I run them concurrently on my S3 I hope to do the same on my new N2.
Anyone here got a working Android 4.2 Camera that uses 5 Mega pixels instead of 3?
I've tried lots of mods out there but it doesn't seem to work.
Besides, I wonder why it only is able to use up to 3MP and not 5MP unlike other phones?

Try zooming in using 4.2 camera .. you wil find that its a bit blurry. Where as if your using cm10's camera its much more clear when you zoom in.try it.

I second that. The difference comes in when you're viewing it on the computer.
Hence, I was wondering if I could retain the 5MP on the 4.2 Camera because it's blazing fast.

Good for you. I don't have one though. I wouldn't say I depend on my camera a lot, but should there be any events, I'll depend on my phone's camera. Too bad that the new camera only takes up to 3MP. I was hoping if someone would fix it. It can easily replace the previous CM10 camera
in any custom rom.

The camera will be able to take 5mp shot when:

Agreed. Since I've no experience in coding and modding, I can only come here to seek help from more professional people.
I wonder if 1ceb0x will give it a go? Since it's available in paranoid android rom, naturally it's good to get it fix and share it with the community.

I recently upgraded to 4.2.1(ParanoidAndroid 2.9.9) and the new camera(which I assume is the standard Google 4.2 camera) is very basic, and very weak compared to what I had. The old camera(which was also Google stock) had a lot of filters built in, and some hilarious distortions such as "Big Eyes" and "Big Head". My kids LOVE those. They are now gone, as is most of the awesome functionality I had. In it's place is Photo Spheres which I personally consider useless. Is there a way to get my old camera back? I don't want to be stuck on 4.1.1 forever but I hate this new camera!

You can install camera ICS from the market. The layout isn't exactly the same ( I assume it's mimicking the ICS camera layout) but it will give you back the filters, funny faces. And yes I wondered the same thing why did google remove them. Kids get tonnes of laughs out of those. I'd love to know how those decisions are made... 'Hey you know those features we've had in the wild for over a year? Yeah let's remove them'
my exact thoughts also, when i had the 16gb nexxy i updated and was VERY annoyed to find the effects deleted, so much it was one of the "cons" that pushed me into refunding for a non-updated 32gb version
im still 4.1 now lol i seriously dont understand why google would :
A: release nexus 7 without a camera app.....(yea i do know why but lame excuse)
B: when you update to 4.2 it deletes any camera app and replaces it with dah dah duh daaaaa a broken one with non-working photosphere.....wtf?
sooooooo mmmmm yeah ill remember this thread when i come to updating

Well I assume he meant the PhotoSphere which as best I can tell is not functioning correctly. I have not yet gotten it to work at all.

Because it's not supported for front facing cameras? That's not broken, that's design.

First of all, the app doesn't know which way your camera is facing, nor does it care. Second, I didn't even try it on my Nexus 7, I tried it multiple times on my Galaxy Nexus. Still broken. Never got a decent result. You may say it's operator error, but that's a ridiculous statement as well because it's pretty self explanatory.

ok so look basically it would be very stupid putting diesel into a petrol as it wouldn't work......
acer made it to remove any cam app we had previously then installed a app exactly the same but without the working effects, .... only 1 broken one..photosphere,
saying that its supposed to only work with a front face cam....well then why go to the trouble of jacking our old app and putting one with a feature we cant use......? :good:
Just saying, the app does know which way the camera faces... I assume something in the data for the camera tells the app its front facing. This is probably useful for apps such as Skype too.
When you try photo sphere, it says sorry not supported with front camera.

the strange thing is, you would think panoramic shot wouldnt work, yet in the cam effects pre-4.2 you can use panoramic efect albeit frontcam only, it did work thou.
i think photsphere from front cam, while your in the middle of the shot with the world spinning around you would be a great effect anyways.

You lost me at "Acer". And I hope you realize this is a general "4.2 Google Apps" statement, not something Asus did.
Rooted sprint rom. I just did a hard reset on the phone and noticed that my auto contrast option in camera settings is not saving. Every time I close the camera, the setting goes back to off. Is there any way to have it enabled all the time? Like chenging a code in the systems file?
Thanx.

I am having the same problem with my I 535. it's unfortunate because the auto contrast setting makes the photos so much better you have to change the setting every time you want to take a photograph. I have no idea why that setting is not being saved
can we get a real developer in here to take a look? it may take you 5 minutes
BUMP, any fixes?
I think this is a regression from the first stock ROM available on the phone, as I just recently updated to the stock AT&T 4.3 and the Auto Contrast option doesn't save. It could have regressed on an upgrade between these ROMs, which would explain why my photos were amazing when I first got the phone then the quality dropped and it became harder to get good shots.
It really made me miss the tap to focus and auto-contrast that I experienced on my old 3GS iphone.
Any ideas or ROM suggestions, or superior camera apps are appreciated.
Bump for this thread...got the same problem on a ATT GS3. Auto contrast (at least for me) makes a BIG difference re: image quality.
Im a huge Instagram user and I've been having a problem when snapping photos using Instagram.
Whenever I snap a picture, the photo will be cropped off 1/2 in on each sides thus ruining the composition. There are no issues on video though/
I'm currently on Omega v18 (stock rom based) and Im not sure if it's a ROM-specific problem or just issues of IG with the Note 2.
Can anyone else try this and see if after snapping a photo the final photo will get smaller or like zoomed in than whats showing in the viewfinder prior to snapping.
Thanks.
4.1 update doesny fix it.
Anyone kind enough to check? Im pretty sure most of you have Instagrams :/
No one has instagram to test this out?
No issues here, see.

Hi Chobie,
I have the same problem as you example. I took a pic of an apple, fit it into the whole pic and then when i snap, the end result is not what was seen before i snap. It sort of zoom in/cropped the photo such that you dont see the whole apple & the sides have been cut off. I'm also using Note 2 & i dont know when did this problem occurs. I searched all over the internet but it seems that no one is having that problem. My sister is using S4 but she doesnt have this problem.
Did you manage to fix it? I uninstall and install back the app, no help at all

Thanks. Nope still no fix for it. I even reverted back to stock ROM to see if it's a ROM problem but it produces the same problem.
I've reported bug to instagram's website so you can probably report it as well to escalate the problem.
Hi,
Yup. I emailed instagram. Hopefully they can advise..

Happening to me as well. The only solution I could find was to disable the option to "Use Instagram's advanced camera" under "Advanced features". This way it uses the phones camera and then asks you to crop the photo on your own.
I hope they fix it soon.

I have the same problem. Picture is zoomed after a picture is taken. Very frustrating. Clearing app data repairs the issued for just a while. Reported a problem to Instagram via in app feature. No response. I'm using Sony Z5, Android 7.0
9 Aug: Updated to Android 7.1.1. The problem still exists in Instagram. Very dissapointed. What's interesting - problem does not exist with a front camera. Has anybody found a solution?
