[APP] "A Better Camera" - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

This is NOT my app. I did not develop it. I've tried tons of camera apps on Google Play as well as leaked manufacture cameras (Sony, Lenovo).
A good camera app with no gimmicks or fancy effects and filters: A Better Camera.
(if you are looking for gimmicky effects, fancy frames, pink hearts, kitty cats stickers, this is not the camera for you - see Camera Zoom FX, Camera Fx, Cymera, etc.)
The features I look for in basic camera app:
- Fast startup
- Easy to get to exposure compensation, and visible comp setting
- Composition grid (a plus)
- Touch to focus (surprisingly, not all 3rd party camera app has this)
- Thumbnail of picture last taken (Camera FV-5 doesn't have this)
- Exposure bracketing mode
- Visible flash on/off status
A Better Camera fits the bill and its interface usability rates high in my book. Close behind is the Lenovo Super Camera, stock AOSP camera, and Camera FV-5 (pay version). I can't say much about Focal because it keeps FC'ing. Another decent, thinking-photographer camera is Shot Control, but the viewer is too small for me.
Lenovo Super Camera loads up fast and has the swipe-to-gallery feature, but it's missing the visible status of exposure compensation setting. If you don't use that, then try it (v3.1.3 fails with FC on the very first load, but works fine afterward. v3.5 FCs all the time on my phone with Liquid Smooth ROM).
A Better Camera have additional pay features, but I don't need them. Between this and the stock AOSP/Lenovo Super camera, my basic camera needs are fulfilled when I don't have the more dedicated photography gear with me.

Thank you for your review.
We're continuing to improve A Better Camera. The upcoming changes will include faster start and "professional" features such as Exposure lock.
BTW, A Better Camera is open source, thus open for improvements from 3-rd party developers. Here is a thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484586

[Q] Desire camera Tweak...!

i dont know if any of you have noticed or not ,,desire camera quality is not as good as Samsung galaxy s or any other 5mp camera phones....!!
-so if there is any tweaks for camera settings ,please let me know
-thank you
Use Vignette or Camera 360. Makes a huge difference.
both vignette and camera 360 are great but wont allow you to adjust the camera image processing settings
i'm getting excellent results with the HTC camera
first and foremost lower the sharpness in settings to -2, this will disable all the heavy edge sharpness and noise suppression applied by default and you will get proper photographic quality, this way you can leave adjustments like sharpness (if needed) to other apps like photoshop or picsay, i also raise the saturation to +1 for more vibrancy
you need to set the compression quality to high, i leave everything else to auto, except metering set to center area and of course highest resolution choose 4x3 aspect ratio if you want full mega pixels
one final thing in auto the htc camera chooses the lowest possible iso and hence a little sensitive to movement try to be still for a second when you shoot a photo
as for video recording 800x480 preforms great in good lighting it gets you 25fps, 720p gets around 20fps, unfortunately at low lighting the recording frame rate drops
camera performance is also improved when you are using a2sd (if rooted)
it could be the cheap crappy plastic cover over the camera lens causing your trouble, I removed mine ages ago (replaced it with a cut up screen saver) and it was like removing a cataract from my eye...!

Looking for specific camera app

I'm looking for camera app that has:
* fast brust picture option
* panorama picture option
* macro
* face detection
* Image Stabilizer (especially while using flash in dark places)
Now I use the default app the comes with SGS3 but I have always blury pictures when I take pictures at night \ in dark places. Panorama pictures also blury.
Any suggestions?
There are other camera apps out there, check Google Play Store under the Apps, Photography section and play around with any app that takes your fancy.
Try to remember that the SGS3 is a camera phone, not a camera. Night shots will be tricky on this phone due to sensor size, led flash and 2.6 f stop.
The stock camera app does all you want apart from good low light stabilization. Image stabilization will not prevent blur in photos. High iso speed and fast shutter will but you will loose image quality.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
what about the blury panorama shot?
Camera ZOOM FX has a nice stable shot feature and also burst shot mode, but i doubt it has panorama feature.
Buy "procapture" clearly the best camera atm.also contains most of the features u request
Edit: if u want a really cool, featurerich gallery go for "fish bowl photo gallery",it's free in market
I'd have to say Camera360 or CameraZoomFX. For burst shooting i think you'll have to stick with the stock app.

[Q] What is full list of camera addons...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well... I can start counting from my own camera in 4.3:
If you launch the application from the camera button or by swiping to the camera, it will open in scene selection(kinda like xperia z superior auto, but even worse), while if you open it by the app drawer, it will launch in the last mode.
The Scene Selection mode disables scenes and exposure settings and it enables taking pictures in bursts(from the front camera, too), however in my experience the pictures aren't better than picking your own settings in manual mode.
The shortcuts aren't customizable anymore(it's mostly a pity for the hdr mode and metering, most other settings are leave and let go)
You can pick 10 scenes for photos and videos(photos didn't have scenes) and also picking a scene disable the white balance and exposure settings. The scenes are in the attachments. (Most of the scenes don't really work, but the documents scene makes the photos real good).
White balance and exposure are the same, finally.
Preview(leaving the photo to show for a period of time): 3 seconds, 5 seconds, unlimited and edit(opens the edit photos app).
D... Different shutter sound(to be clear, the sound when you take a picture)
The new menu(the xperia z1 has this too, not that important)

Camera app like GCam mod or Camera NX but just to enable RAW

Since we have the Pixel 2 XL, we have all of the latest camera features like portrait mode, and AR stickers and such. However one of the things those apps enable that are not stock is RAW/DNG capture from Google Camera. Has anyone tried apktool on just the stock Google Camera app to enable it?
By now there is no Google app or mod that is able to do it.
In my Pixel XL 1st Gen I use ProShot. It lets you shoot photos on RAW+JPEG and it has a great design and very functional features (depth of field, manual focus, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, temperature, compression level on JPEG, etc.)

Question Is there any way to use video-call apps with the back camera and front screen?

I would like to use Google Duo with the back wide camera + the front screen, but as far as I have seen, it is only available in the selfie mode of the photo camera app.
Is there any way to use it for video-calling? The under the screen camera quality is pretty horrendous, to be honest.
Thanks.
