I was just wondering if there is any way to see what the fingerprint camera sees. Has this been done yet?
UP...in fact the fingerprint sensor is a camera ... why anyone tried to use it as such?

Yes, is a camera. It reads the fingerprint. That's why those pixels turns on and illuminates that area, acting as a flash when you take a picture.
Yes, my question is...there is some MODS to use it such a front camera to take a picture??? :laugh: it's hide behind the screen, no notch, no hole, no popup camera...it's perfect :laugh:

Probably can't see far, but I'd like to see what it does see

I would think they have it pretty locked down as it is a security hole if it's not.
Not possible;

Is there any possebility? It drives me crazy when you try to take a picture of a friend and yourself!
I searched a whole lot, but this "Big Button Camera" App that is out there replaces the normal camera and its not free.
If there would be an App that lays the Shutter on volume Down or Up during camera mode, that would be great! I can zoom (if I need it) on screen...
what did HTC think?
Self-portrait

For making pictures of yourself you can use the self-portrait function. The phone then sees your face in the frame and takes a picture. Works quite good.

Yep ... it's awesome.
Face recognition doesn't always work for me.
Another alternative is to set a delay on the photo. Gives you time to position the camera before the picture is taken. Not sure why HTC have only given two options - 2 secs and 10 secs - though...
Try this works very well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464&highlight=desire

Will the play be getting face unlock via ics or is there a gingerbread version of it anywhere?
Probably yes, the problem is that this feature can be cheated by simply scanning a picture of you on facebook or a paper photograph. Makes the app quite useless in my opinion.
Depends on what you want. If the security is to keep out casual snoopers then it's good. If you keep nuclear secrets on your phone owning an xperia play was probably the wrong choice.
Thankfully for me I don't and I don't hand out free photographs of my face so it's sufficient. Then again I also use the swipe pattern which is even easier to crack then face unlock. Each to their own really.

Also with the poor resolution on the front facing camera it would be pretty hard to unlock your phone in dark places.

I used to have an app that required your face to unlock an app, you need great lighting.

The app was called Visidon App Lock
And you need light lighting or sunlight to get it to reconize anything, so I would assume the ICS Face Unlock feature will be the same.
A way around the picture scanning thing would be to unlock the phone with a stupid expression. As for the light...don't know

The only reason we would not get it is if Sony Ericsson think it may challenge their beloved Arc which has no Front facing camera.

I just downloaded an app called "FaceRecog PhoneLOCK" i will try it out and report back with what i find.
**UPDATE: It seems to work, but you do need pretty good lighting, and if you wear glasses, you will have to take them off, or the app wont be able to find your eyes.**
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.
How come i didn't get a camera? I'm on PA 2.99 beta 6.

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.
Hi
I have ordered OP5 today and expecting delivery on Monday. My cousin has the same mobile and been tinkering with it and observed that the 2x Camera doesn't really work as i expected it to be.
When i selected 2x the view zoomed in but when i close 1x camera display goes blank and when i close the 2x camera nothing happens. This however didn't happen outdoors.
From what i read and understood, the 2x camera gets enabled depending on the environmental conditions.
My nexus 6p just bricked today (bootloops). So ordered OP5. Camera is definitely my highest used application.
So, is there any way or workaround or an App available that can force enable the 1x or 2x cameras as chosen?
I dont think so, the OP5 is just to young for such mods, only 2 weeks after sales started. Ask again in a few month...
The primary work is for custom Roms i think...
tapatalked...
Second lense is used only with good light condition if condition aren't ideal primary lense is used. I think is the same way on iphone but I am not sure.
I read its same with iPhone, but i never know if 1x lens is being used or the 2x lens. I don't want digital zoom, i rather move closer to subject and take a photo if i knew 1x lens is being used.
Thanks for the response though. Once i have my mobile, i will try a few apps and do some tinkering
Would love a modded APK that keept whatever I chooses. Like normally I use HQ, mostly because I'm indoors and that the aHDR function is like so so

+1 to this. Things will definitely happen but I'm not sure if both cameras will be used at the same time for anything more than depth perception for bokeh shots (I think that's what it's used for )
Historically from what I've seen, camera drivers are a ballache to work with (Evo 3D took eons to get right) so I'm hoping the same as yourself but I'd assume not until things have picked up and we have some more talent with a want to mod the camera and it's software bits.
We'll see

You could always know by covering one of the lenses ?. Anyways, covering up the main lens and switching to the 2x zoom won't enable the 2x zoom camera.
I noticed that on RR, on the default snap camera you can use the tele lens, but just as "zoom" ? can't use them both at once...
with snap camera hdr you can choose everything. also recording in 4k with second sensor (1,6x not 2x)

Do you have the paid version? Trial version is 8.1.2. And the trial version doesn't work as you mentioned. Top left button shifts between front and rear cameras.

Yes i have pro version beta. Try to see if beta is activable for trial too. Or use opencamera for example, I see that sensor with other apps too
edit: in options, tap "on-screen settings" and activate "show switch camera icon" to activate that button

Ok seriously, there are some features mentioned about the note 8 that somehow are missing on the Verizon model. For example a good one is the wide angle shots! I mean wtf?! Pretty pisst about this one. Wonder what else is missing
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
What do you mean by wide angle shots? I notice we don't have swipe down for notifications. Or that rebranded system optimizer setting that's always missing. We always end up with the most locked down firmware, but I'm not aware of missing camera modes.
