Camera alternatives for 4.4? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I'm on sense 4.3 right now and I love it for the most part, but I think I will love being on the latest software even more, so I'm curious to try kitkat. The only thing making me hesitant to jump ship is losing the HTC camera app and gallery with Zoes, I literally use it every day and have grown very fond of it, especially the image editor (which I didn't expect i would love because I have two DSLRs being a photographer). How have you other snapaholics been coping with the stripped down camera experience? Anyone using third-party apps to soften the blow?

Can't use same camera effects taking pics as editing pics?

Does this make sense to anyone? There are a few nice filters in the camera app, granted I don't particularly like filters. I just want to experiment with them from time to time. If you edit a pic already taken, you get different effects/filters than you get before taking the pic.
I'd rather apply my filter/effects after taking the pic rather than before. But doesn't seem that's possible. I've already gotten an app for this, so I don't need any suggestions. But kind of bothered HTC chose to do this.

All I got from the OP was I don't like a feature I know I have no control over...useless. Camera and the editing software on Android phones are generally two seperate programs, so yes something (filter, effects, etc.), that the developers choose to leave out of one side of the software is not intertwinable with the omitted functionality of the other program by default. You would need to build or more likely wait fora custom Rom that incorporates the feature you 'prefer' which will probably never happen.

"TV" like app.

Hey guys. Unlike many posts I've read, I actually love the TV app that comes stock with the One and its one of the many things that really make me reconsider rooting & using different ROMs. I love having the IR blaster and I think its one of the many things that makes this phone unique. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good app that is similar to the TV app that I could find in the play store (or elsewhere) that I could use without stock. Thanks!

Smart ir remote is the best one i tried. Here you can see a review:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...es-wet-dream-but-it-comes-at-a-premium-price/
The IR blaster will not work currently with AOSP roms though correct? Only Sense based ones IIRC.
The IR blaster will only work on Sense ROMs and 4.3 Google Edition ROMs. AOSP and 4.2.2 Google Edition don't have the drivers for the IR blaster.
I also like the TV app and would like to see if it could get ported to a GE 4.3 ROM. I tried moving the TV apk and IR blaster apk to the GE ROM but the app kept force closing

nothing currently available that I know about, would imagine it would be something cyanogenmod might add to focus at some point. Might want to mention it to them as a possible future release idea.

[APP][SENSE][M7]Camera.apk from newest 2.25 base with GIF support and better quality

This makes me afraid.
They turned down the Boomsound in 4.2 because people were popping speakers.
Rumor has it that HTC will simply limit the ISO or something to reduce the tint.
If they do, the HTC will have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, gone down the drain.
If they actually fix this, it will truly be the world's (second) best camera phone for low light.
Also, has anybody else noticed the dire lack of basic editing features in the stock gallery app? I installed the 4.3 camera apk, but it's ridiculous.

Whenever you send a pic or upload a pic it gets compressed. Since you are not rooted I'm not sure if you can change the compression threshold

I use a 3rd party text app. The default ONE app compress' the pictures that's why they look like ****. I use Textra. It's simple and easy.

Sorry. Either I'm blind, or that was added in 4.2, which I don't have yet.

I'm Not on 4.2. When you go to edit, hold down on one of the filters or auto enhance and then drag it over to customize.

I am pretty sick of the low light purple tint. My HTC evo lte never did that in fact I think the camera was better on that phone but I can't do both. One day I will get a high precision camera that has wi do and social interaction features. Anyways a fix or attempted fix is welcomed.

Samsung Camera vs Google Camera

Which one do you guys prefer? I like the Google one better because I think it takes pictures faster and I like the gallery access.
Are there any quality benefits to either one?

I like the Google (4.4) one as well. Though, mostly similar to the samsung one.
Although Samsung camera has more features, i still prefer the stock KitKat camera. Guess i'm somewhat of a minimalist.
