[Q] Camera App

Has anyone figured out how to launch the camera app? Ive seen it used in videos so I know its possible. I tried the Modaco camera launcher, but couldnt get it to work. Thanks

The problem is that there is no native camera app to launch. You need to install an apk that is an actual full camera app, not just a launcher.

I used the Camera JB+ which can be purchased for 1.99 on the Play Store.

There is a native camera app, if you don't use the stock launcher. When I installed ADW launcher EX, there is an icon called "camera" and it well, runs the front facing camera and allows video and still images. I don't believe amazon put in an icon launcher in their native ecosystem.

Anyway to create a shortcut to the app? Maybe anycut or something will work. When I was at best buy playing with the store demo it had a camera app on it. I wonder if it's the same app

I can confirm - there is a working stock ICS camera app, but no shortcut. If you go into Settings, Applications, Installed Applications, it's right there in the list: Camera, Version 1
The way I was able to launch it was through AirDroid (that's actually how I discovered it)
I tried using the Camera launcher that I installed on my Nexus 7, but it FCs.

Here You Go!

Not sure if it makes a difference but I use apex launcher. I just click the camera app in the drawer. The camera works fine. If I could only get the flash the flash to work(j/k).

app to replace album

hi all
i been looking for an app to replace the album app on the Sony Z1 so far i have found F-Stop Media Gallery i have tried it out and it seems pritty good but was wondering if anyone has come across something better maybe
thanks

I also don't like the stock gallery so I switched to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.galleryics&hl=en, is very good but the only problem is they have Ads. Gallery KK is an update of Gallery ICS which was without Ads, now they renamed Gallery ICS to Gallery ICS (Classic Version) so you can try both of them. I have to try them too, if Gallery ICS (Classic Version) if with no Ads I will stick with that one.

Yes, Quickpic is good, just don't have the Widget.

brilliant thanks alot

I use quickpic, is fantastic

How about something with Privacy lock...like the one with FstopMedia Gallery.
Something with names other than Gallery Lock...Lock etc etc
I mean something that doesnt suggest its got some sort of Locking thing from the name itself...lol
need a gallery veiwer with inbuilt Privacy...not another third party app.
hanks

use Quickpic. its better than album.

[Q] Instagram Video?

I got the latest firmware 14.3.A.0.757, but I can't seem to post an Instagram Video. I can't select any video from my stock gallery, can't record using the Instagram App itself, can't long press the camera button to record a video. Does anyone here got the same problem? Or instavid isn't really available for XZ1?

I had the same problem, but then after the Kit Kat update the problem went. Instagram for Android isnt as refined for video as it should be in my opinon

Ah well, It's the stupid update I guess. It didn't include the video function. So I just uninstalled and installed, wtf. Why did I think about that just now. hahaha Thanks though!! I got confirmation from you that video is working in our z1. So yea. Thank you again.

Question Does the 2nd screen works to take a selfie Story on Instagram app?

And, does it works inside other apps? Or just in the native camera app? Thanks!

By the time third party apps have functionality in the rear screen it will be time to buy a new phone !
