Has anyone pulled the .apk and gotten it to work? I just want manual shutter. Picked up the S6a just for battery, almost got the N5 just for manual mode.
I could have sworn the S6 allowed for a "pro" more controlled experience. Is Manual exposure not anywhere; I recently just got my S6 back from repair so I haven't had much hands on use. I'll go ahead and check myself, but I could have sworn that it was advertised.
Also, I think this goes along more in the Help/Q&A section, but I could always be wrong
Exposure you are correct, I'm referring to shutter. You can have up to a 10 second shutter on the N5 which would be badass.
When I was posting on the Q&A, it said that only answers could be posted... I wouldn't mind a discussion also.
Is exposure different from shutter?
Yep... I might want a long shutter with a small aperture vs short shutter with a wide open aperture, the exposure could end up being very similar but very different effects.
Ah! I'm not an avid photographer frankly (I'm sure it will show). I did indeed look around, and yeah you're right no noticeable shutter control. I'll hang around the N5's section. From my memory, someone was able to port N5's functions over to the S6 over here on XDA or over at Reddit. For the apk though, we would need a rooted N5 or OTA file to extract it from likely. If they share similar API's, getting it to work shouldn't be impossible.
I supposed the timer is something entirely different from what you want. I just noticed it and saw the option to set for 10 seconds, but thought I'd ask.
These are a couple examples of what can be done with REALLY long shutter:

Fantastic looking! Looks like there was a system dump for the N5. I could look into extracting what I need from that, but haven't looked into it in detail - yet. Will get to it later when the day settles down.

Hey, I was bored so I figured I would code this app and throw it on the Android marketplace. It as all of the BLS Drug Profiles based off the Arizona Department of Health.
Before I throw it onto the market I figured I would ask what you guys think of the GUI. Do you guys like the way it looks? Or should I change it, what do you think I should do to make it better? Also keep in mind this is my first app.

Looks interesting. What I can see looks pretty good but you should post the apk so we can install and really check it out for ya.
This is a sorely needed app!
Thanks.
I wouldn't use blue for the text color though.
In bright lights or outdoors, that is gonna be very difficult to read.
Since this app could possibly be needed in an emergency situation, it's vital for everything to be able to be seen without any fuss or confusion.
Make it high contrast ... white text on black.
As for the overall ui, it's perfectly fine other than that. This isn't an app where asthestics are important. It's not something people will be glaring at for hours on end. It's utilitarian, it's reference. And keeping it simple is exactly what's needed.
One thing I might add at some point is a link to Wikipedia if there is one (at least I don't see it from the screenshots). Or if the material you're using for reference has other online references available to the general public, that's fine too. Especially something with links to pictures to help identify pills/capsules etc. That's just an idea.
Great job.
And if you're needing a beta tester, please let me know.
Thanks.

Ok, I will experiment with the color of the text I suppose. I can also ad a link to the Arizona Health Department Bureau of EMS. I also have a disclaimer to add, and it should be ready
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let everyone know that I posted this on the market

The smooth back matte panel can easily get damaged, a case is a good idea on this phone, but the most annoying flaw, and I'm guessing its hardware since the GNEX had the same issue and it did not get fixed with software updates. Compared to the N4 is quite noticable.

Am I reading this right? You were expecting the easily damaged back panel of the GNex to get fixed with a software update?

Anyone know how to use this feature? I'm looking in the gallery at some pictures I took with the phone, but I don't see an option. Is there something I need to turn on in the settings?
Also trying to use it, but it never suggests the "best shot"...
It happened once for me. It's more hit or miss I think. But what I think is best shot will occur mainly with a person. So if the person moves while you're taking a photo, it'll have another photo that may be better

I'm fairly certain it's only an active feature. When you go to take a picture, it actually takes multiple pictures and you can choose right then which is the best. I know the HTC One had something similar to this, and there's a video showing how theirs works, so I'm assuming it's the same on the X2.
I'm going with the guess that they haven't rolled out that feature to their camera or gallery app yet.

It is definitely on the phone, I've gotten it once. Their recommended picture had a slightly less blurry hand then on what I snapped
It didn't ask me after I took the photo but when I went to view the image?

Yea i think that is right
Well, it seems that not only the Pixel suffers from lens flare...
Today I tried my op3t camera for the first time in low light condition and... the flare is there.
I'm attaching a picture, you can clearly see the 5 spots on the left of the lamp.
Does it do the same to you? As far as I understand it's a common problem between cameras.
Any way to avoid, or at least reduce it?
Thanks

There are some camera apps (like DSLR) where you can change the ISO, most of the time when you change to a high ISO value the flare would be less seen

Just tried it and it works. The thing that bothers me is that everytime there is an artificial light there is a flare...
I'm not an expert here but I think a lot of phones exhibit this. My wife's s6 edge plus has weird light retractions in low light.

Yes. Most phones have it. It largely has to do with the lens attached to the phone. I've had more success on phones such as the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Use such phones and go into manual mode. In all cases I was able to eliminate the lens flare. Too bad I had to switch to the 3T which is a better phone but poor shooter. Can't find a way to eliminate it there yet.
You captured a UFO! No way! Lol. Anyways my experience with low light conditions has been great. This is at a party. So clear I can zoom in to the musicians faces clearly absolutely 0 editing. With Snapseed I can lower the brightness of the lights overhead

The stock app on my S10e does not appear to have a white balance option for the front facing camera, and it doesn't automatically choose it correctly. GCam always creates superior results.
I can't imagine Samsung app devs would let their app be so terrible with selfies. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is there a feedback channel we can tell them?
Like I said on another thread why do you guys feel the need to have and use a front facing camera to take pics of yourself. I'm trying to understand is it a narsasiscic thing going on in this day and age or what?do people fancy themselves that much? not talking about you op or anyome here in particular so no disrespect intended. Just want to understand this need for front facing cameras. I love the s10 plus but the ugly 2 cameras on the front are stopping me from enjoying.and I'm not in love with myself to take selfies and admire my self all day.so the front camera ruins the phone for me a bit

People have always been taking pictures of others, and some have noticed that the cameraman has been missing for centuries.
Now we have a tool in our pockets to take a picture of everyone at once, in an instant. The S10 has a wider lens for even more people.
Every game night, I take a selfie with everyone using the GCam app in portrait mode. When I have a special moment with my wife, its easy to get a photo of us together. It's kind of ridiculous looking back at photos from years ago to know I was a participant, but no where to be seen, not a single photo of me interacting with others.
I took advantage of a sale at Office Depot for canvas prints, and made a collage of a year's worth of selfies:
