Bionic Camera

This bionic camera in my opinion is terrible. I have done the research...tried multiple third party apps and I can't find something to get clear photos or to where I can tap a specific spot on screen to focus on that specific spot... Any help is appreciated.

Try HDR Camera +

I tried it out and it force closes the gallery every time I take a picture.

Instead of tapping, you can drag the square in the middle to the area you want it to focus on.

Have you tried Camera Advance? Here is the market link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite&feature=search_result There is also a paid versions too. Hope this helps

I tried it out, found out camera 360 has a touch to focus option, seems to be doing good, I miss the HTC camera lol..

Can you clarify for me how the "touch to focus" feature differs from the method I mentioned with dragging the square? I've heard a lot of complaints about not being able to "touch to focus" but I figured it was the same.

Same thing but instead of dragging a square you just tap the screen in the area you want it to focus on

I have tried most camera apps on the market. With the newly released flickr app comes with a camera. This thing is pretty solid. slow but still solid. I prefer this over the blur camera. Mind you it has less option than most camera apps, however they can only improve with later versions.

What's the deal with camera360 only showing half screen? Is there a setting I'm missing that makes it full screen or so I have to buy the full version?

Full version does the same thing to me its not made for qHD is my guess maybe im wrong tho

Hey...figured it out. Download spare parts from the market. Uncheck the "comparability mode" box and that fixes it.

SWEET had this already but didn't know it was ticked, this is awesome much better, but yeah this app is great for our camera, i seem to get great photos and fast focusing

Sooo, I've been very disappointed with the camera like most of u... That is until I realized a really awesome feature that dramatically improves quality & speed:
==> hold down the shutter button until u are ready to snap a picture and it will instantly take the pic with great quality. This is a trick I stole from my days of taking pictures with a point & shoot camera!
Hope this helps - I've even tested this in the dark and it works perfect on Auto.

Tip from Moto forum
24. Oct 2, 2011 4:41 PM (in response to scottay)
Re: Camera! Please fix it!
I have some GOOD news about the stock camera, after fussing with it for more than a few hours (and after uninstalling my Vignette app)...
Try this (but don't expect it to take rapid-fire photos - it's stilll a phone camera). The results for me were pretty good, relative to what I was getting before.
In the stock camera options:
Check - store on SD card (not internal storage)
Mode: Choose the "hand" - steady
Move the brightness slider SLIGHTLY to the right (brighter)
Use autoflash only when you definitely want flash. Otherwise, turn it off when there's enough light. The flash tends to wash out colors.
AND most important - I had to learn the hard way - aim at your subject and wait until the white corner square turns into a full square - and then turns green. Most already know you can move the square with your finger to the part of the photo you want the rest of the photo based on. When the box is green, though, the camera has focused and adjusted the exposure to what you are aiming at. THEN, click the photo.
This takes more time than it should, but at least it works. Experiment with other modes besides "auto," which seems to deliver less than mediocre.
I got some pretty impressive results from this combination. Much better, at the least, than my first attempts.

Best camera app for DHD on ICS

Hello all.
Did somebody came up yet with a better solution than Camera Zoom FX (can be paid)?
It could be nice to have something like FX, but with touch to focus, sharpness options and some video recorder (as a seperate app) which could do 720p (?)
PS. Is it just me, or is there barely any difference compared HTC 5 and 8 mpx cameras?
I mean, look at these http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-review-468p9.php

try these
am using UCam ultra which is working fine with more light spaces. where as in less light you will be seeing blurred or some dark pixels...
you can go for multi lens camera also. its different and funny

Thanks, will look at it.

Miui gb camera. You'll have to trouble shoot to get it working properly, but after that picture clarity is on par with HTC sense's camera.

Also Camera 360 is not bad either. A lot of options and good (I think) quality.
Still, in low light the pictures are quite bad, but I think that is a problem of the phone, not the camera app (I have tried several, the same result).

I use camera pro app. Works flawless

For some reasons, for all of apps above, there are glitches issue.
Ucam seems awesome, clean interface, useful features. Too bad it doensn't work, it restart right after I taken picture of it.

I think it's a kernel issue if Ucam is force closing.'Cause the app "use" the stock camera to take pictures. And if you're stock camera is buggy, a 3rd app wouldn't work. Tell me if i'm wrong

I get Ucam v2.3 force close only on Lord's IceCold. But works very good with Ucam v1.6.

JellyBean MIUI ROM ported for DHD has properly working touch to focus function with what seems to be the stock AOSP camera... It's a shame tho this ROM has many visual bugs, and using any other app that uses camera (instagram, barcode scanners..) is almost impossible as they give huge artifacts...
The question is, is it possible to somehow port camera used in MIUI JB ROM to AOSP ROMS and not f&^* up qcode scanners?

upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus

Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?

I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.

I love it too，i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:

I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

[Q] Alternate to stock camera?

So I'm coming from the Razr M, which was never a top end device even when it was released a couple years ago, but I like it's cam. I've noticed that, and maybe it's just me, but I really don't like how the Moto X pictures come out comparatively. I'm not sure if it's the app itself or the camera. I'd assume it's a better camera than I have on a 2 year old device. Is there an alternative camera app that maximizes the camera hardware? I've tried Focal but not a huge fan. Most of the other camera apps seem to focus on filters and editing. Which is great but I am just looking for a camera app that is better than stock. Either that or a tutorial on the stock app settings. If I was rooted I'd just try my Razr M cam. But not going to root this one for a good while. Any help would be appreciated m

Fv5 works well, but nothing launches as fast as the stock camera and you have to manually adjust settings to see an improvement. The biggest issue is the stock camera cranks up the ISO for some reason. The 4.4.2 update makes it less severe however and I've gotten adequate or better quality since the update.

Definitely 4.4.2 improved the camera. But I'm using better camera anyway....I really like it.

Remember that a lot of camera apps limit your mp to like 2....so a little hard to judge quality. Kinda dumb that they do that. Do a full version time limit trial would make more sense.

[App] Moto X Camera [Non Root]

I have recently been using a Moto X Style and enjoyed the camera functions, particularly the touch anywhere on screen to take a shot. I had been searching for a replacement camera on my 6P and found this moded Moto camera.
Please note this is not my work and I am just bringing it to the Nexus 6P communities attention if other users would like to try. All work and credit is thanks to @S0bes. If you use please thanks him in his thread.
This will have working Moto Camera & Gallery. Just go to the source thread HERE, download the 2 apks and install as normal. They will work on unrooted devices.
I haven't fully tested but so far so good for me.
Enjoy

Your welcome

Awesome!

Can someone share their experience when it comes to the performance of this app vs the stock one?
I really love the new camera but the software/app does seem quite slow especially if you take several HDR photos in a row.
I'd like to know if the Moto X app is any more competent.

Seems faster, if you don't use hdr in Google camera.
But, pictures aren't as good, and are half the size of Google camera.
Stick with Google for best results.

Awesome!!!!

I went straight to the camera version that you mentioned and it's working great. Agree with others about the Gallery being very nice!

I had an X Pure for a week and what I miss most is the exposure compensation slider thing. I find the 6P blows out highlights very easily. So if I focus on a dark area to compensate it lightens everything up but in doing so goes overboard and the bright areas are over brightened. It's basically spot metering but doing it to an extreme in my opinion. If the Motorola camera app worked I would be able to dial it down a bit to my liking but it's not available on the version of the camera that works.
