Based on the the Bruce and Polkadots walls it looks like you have stumbled across my Picasa account or my post in the vibrant forum, because those are both my edits.
If you have access to my Picasa why not just share that, if you dont then there are plenty more like those above. Most of them are Black and White and heavy on the black side. The link is for my hot girls folder, but there are several other folder in the main account.

Pretty sure this is a mock review as there are no other bone yard review bids in the related list. Also, it says its a parody review series right in the video description.

Favourite apps?

With XDA's search still not being too useful at the moment, a search brought me nowhere.
Is there a thread where you can mention your favourite apps and pros/cons and suggest apps to others?
If so, just get rid of this and link me there. But if not, would that be a good idea you think?

It still takes work because a lot of seemingly unrelated threads show up...just take time and skim til you see what's mostly relevant.
In other words, search is nowhere near perfect. But starting a new thread out of laziness won't get someone very far.

[APP] Nexus 7 Camera Unlocker

Hi,
I'm here to show my Nexus 7 camera launcher. The big difference to others is multi language support.
"This software unlocks camera application on Nexus 7 without needing use of third-party camera apps. This application supports multi language."

Bye.

Really curious as to who takes photos with a 1.2 mp camera on a tablet, of all things.

There's someone that want to take pictures, you're not alone in the world.

Isn't your app a third party app also or am I missing something. So I would delete one play store third party app and then install another third party app or am I way out?

Perhaps the 1-5 million users who installed MoDaCo's Camera Launcher for Nexus 7?
And the 500,000-1 million who installed gabenative's Nexus 7 Camera Starter?

You can't even take pictures with it. I mean, the button is on the screen, you can't see what you are shooting. Unless you take duckface photos of yourself all day, I find it to be absolutely pointless.

Profile pics, self pics, I also use it for a mirror in a pinch. ........Sometimes, you need to be a little more creative. There are tons of reasons. The op is posting this for those wanting the ability to use the camera. If you want to comment on whether the app has a problem, then thats constructive. If your just commenting because you dont see the purpose in the app, then it is not constructive.

Sorry, but I don't find the reasons you listed as creative. That's just me, to each their own. If I needed a mirror, I'd use a mirror. And I guess you could take extremely fascinating profile pictures with the mighty 1.2 megapixel camera that would just stop people in their tracks..

[TIP] Better colour with flash photos.

Hey all, this isn't a mind blowing tip, it's just something easily overlooked. Forgive me if it's been covered but i could not find it.
When taking photos with flash I found under my tungsten light source that everything had a blue tint to it.

This I found results from the phone incorrectly detecting the white balance.
It is easily fixed by pressing the picture button and holding it while your phone focuses and measures the shot. Then a second later release it and the results are a marked difference.
To those using any camera with a half and full press button this isn't a large surprise but with the trend to simple tap on smartphones I find this easily overlooked.
Thanks

He's a street dog. Someone found him as a pup in the rain and put him online. He's pretty mixed as a breed but has some hound in him. And much smaller than a mastiff :cyclops:
I didnt know about the hold focus either. I felt it wasnt obvious because the N4 unlike htc's and iphones doesnt do an instant photo. it does the shenanigan of focusing with the ring and all the jazz so one would assume it would measure its white balance then. Anyway you live and you learn

Oh just like the video says I am a total noob when it comes to android phones. I have always had iPhones from the first one to 5, and after it broke I thought I mix it up and got a lumia 920 (terrible experience I had no clue what I was doing) and that bought the Nexus 4. I got to say there is a whole lot of little tricks such as this which is great, so thanks again for posting.

Welcome to the droid community. Once you get sucked in its hard to go back. I try using the i5 now and then. The lack of a back button and my app settings within a separate settings app really bug me.
