Best camera app? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you know any good camera apps that have better image quality and autofocus speed than the stock one? I would also like it to have similar appearance as the stock. I tried hdr camera, and it did have better autofocus and image quality, but its a bit hard to use because there are no on screen buttons, for example for flash, and picture taking is very slow for some reason...

HDR camera take multiple contrast images when you take a shot, so it takes a few seconds to gather them and compile them into a single image. And you can change flash settings in advanced menu. It is bit slower but 5mp camera isn't great for quality.

Yes, I see. Any other camera apps you would reccomend? And what if i put it on 3,2 mpix in settings?

All you can really do is set exposure change mode to fast.
I haven't tried many other camera apps, but this one works well.

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.

Yes..
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)..

Well, o2x takes better pics, even my transformer prime takes better photos.. but besides that, I love the phone!

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] Sharp images from XZ camera?

Hello all,
We all know that the camera clarity is not so good in XZ... Even my Arc was far better as compared to this.. I tried changing settings alot but couldnt get any solution.. The pictures are not sharp at all.. Can anyone tell me how can we get sharper picture? The images are quite blurry even if u use the "Supererior auto" mode.. So if any one can help me..
Hold the phone still, make sure HDR is off, should come out quite clear and sharp in good lighting conditions.
Do NOT use superior auto. And lower you iso. High iso screws up pics big time.
If you need sharp images shoot in burst mode.

Lowest number possible so 100
My phone is in for repairs (audio) at the moment, but isn't burst mode max resolution just under 8MP?

nice camera app from lenovo flagship set with 13mp

Just instal and see the difference. You'll love this camera app with sharp pictures and less noise.
This can be installed on optimus 4x hd. The camera app has functions like hdr , lots of cool effects,
etc.
This app can be downloaded from official Z thread.
I take no credit . Thanks to one who helped to poty this cool camera app.
Official thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415295
I like it, thanks. Not perfect, some options don't work (eg. shutte sound set to off still plays) and the gallery is portrait only, but quite good app. Only thing left is to see if 5+ MB pics are corrupted like with stock.
Yup, still corrupted :c
Nice app. Burst and panaroma options make the application crash when selected.
You can record videos in gif format and the gallery application is quite good.

Thnx, I like the app on my 4X HD
Thanks for sharing, really work great on our phone. Though the burst and panaroma mode having bug of crashing, but not big deal to me since never use these 2 features. Importantly is it improve a lot on low light capturing, especially on video mode.
Gallery keep crashing... Camera works on slim..

I think they are always combined in one app as they are working really close together.

try this one too. it works for me. almost everything works(low light is working, amazing one. effect works, front camera works, picture in picture works, video recording works, gallery works). the few things that didn't work for me are the burst mode(don't even try to use it, it will drive you crazy), panorama mode(just crash), HDR(?, not sure, takes picture but don't see any differences).
i'm using cyanogenmod 11 official, today's build.

same thing lol it works great.
after a day, this app went crazy and made my cpu stay at 100% almost all the time.
Deleted it and now its fine
I tried it on CM11 20140107 version and iodak v9.1 and it takes better pictures regarding the frontal camera, while it's the opposite with the main camera.
It has many settings and options and I would recommend it for its pictures taken from the frontal camera.
O.t.: I would like to know if there's any way to improve the brightness of the frontal camera during videocalls..

[Q] Problems with HDR camera function.

I have taken some photos with the HDR stock camera function and some from an HDR camera app from Google Play.
The photo taken with the stock camera takes a regular photo. The other takes three. There is no high contrast definition (as is even displayed on the selection screen on the N3.
Has anyone else noticed this in their phone?
The HDR camera app takes three images and combines them to get a single image. You can reduce this to single shot in the pro version of the app.
Whereas the stock camera app takes a single shot.

The single shot is not an HDR image. It isn't a composite OR HDR. I think there is a problem.

Zooming limitation in photos

Has anybody else noticed that you can zoom only up to a certain extent i pics, I guess only to 100% of thr pic size. Sometimes the photos are very hard to view so I need more zoom. I searched a lot and the only thing I found out is changing accessibility settings and tripple tapping to zoom. This isn't a real solution to the problem, as it's very ugly and not practical. Does anyone know any mod to enable more zooming?

Thats a good question! i was never impressed with the camera on the HTC One and let alone the zoom. I had to pull the photos off and use Adobe Photoshop to zoom to the level i needed for detail. Doubt this is what you want to do but, if worse comes to worse.
FYI - HTC work on a better camera on these phones
The way HTC handles zooming in the gallery is by it's resolution. In order to zoom in to a photo more is by using a 3rd party gallery

It's not only in gallerg, it's also in FB and other apps. Any way to change it?

Doesn't anyone understand there is no zoom? The so called zoom is the same as cropping, which is limited by the resolution. Lower megapixels = lower level of cropping before pixelation

I'm pretty sure he's referring to zooming to photos he has saved on his phone or photos he is viewing on Facebook. I realize these phones don't have zoom and only digital zoom which is essentially the same as cropping. What he is trying to do is trying to bypass the limitations that HTC implementated to the zooming level on the photos he is viewing

Did you ever read my question? I was pretty clear I am talking abour SAVED photos, not camera app. I have had many phones, but this is the first that limits the zooming so much, it's absurd. My old Sensation can zoom up to 300%. I think HTC had done this because of the ****ty resolution of the camera

This limitation was set even before this phone with its ultrapixel camera. I believe it was implemented starting on the HTC one X series including the evo lte but I could be wrong. You can try aosp the zoom limitation isn't there
