Camera alternative - Fascinate General

So I am using CM7, and while I may switch to other AOSP roms, I likely will never go back to TW. However, I do miss the TW camera greatly. It is one thing Samsung did 'right.' I know that camera cannot be ported to AOSP, but I have yet to find a camera app that can emulate its panoramic feature, that I CAN use on AOSP roms. Does anyone know of an app that might fill that gap?

Look through the android apps and games section, do a search for "Sony panorama beta" and see if you can find it. It is nothing other than a camera app that does panoramas, no other features, but it works great.
If you want a good camera app in general either switch to miui or find a miui camera ported to other roms. It's by far the best camera app in my opinion, no panorama but everything world great.

Yeah I already have the miui camera on CM7. I just found the app you suggested, and it does not install for me. It does not appear to be supported for our device however.

Where\how do I get the MIUI camera for CM7?

I use camera zoom fx. Love it.

Does this have a panorama feature? I don't just mean a wide angle shot, but panorama like the stock touchwiz camera has?

Odd, I installed it back on cm and it worked, since then I have gone to miui and it restored from titanium fine. I used it last week to get some cool wide angle shots of times square.

You are talking about this one:

I tried using the panorama-fix-z_signed as well as the zip for the i9000 and couldnt get the apk to install either time, perhaps you can shed some light for me?

If you haven't already, you might try using ApkInstaller, which is downloadable from the market. That worked for me when installing the MIUI camera.
Edited to add that I just followed the link and installed the Sony Panoramic Beta and when I used ApkInstaller to install the version for non-rooted phones, it worked great.

I was able to install the version for non rooted phones successfully, and it seems to be working flawlessly so far. I did not have to use APK installer at all, and I am rooted, so not sure why I had to use non-rooted version, but /shrug. Thanks!

Does Sony Panoramic Beta have that annoying limit on how long a video should be?

Cameras

Is there a list that we can get of flashable cameras to replace the one we use now? I know of the miui one. But are there others? I could really use a stable camera, with very customizable settings. I kinda enjoy distortions too for effects so that would be nice. My effects dont work, only effects i can do are effects after the photo is taken. Thanks for any help

Replacing a camera app rarely works (the exception here is the miui cam on cm7). I would suggest a third party camera from the market if you're looking for effects.

Alright. Thanks for clearing that up. I personally hate the camera apps on the market lol. Not many good ones

It really is dependent upon the ROM you're using. You can easily flash the EVO camera for example, but the Z camera only works with Z ROMs (for me anyway, YMMV). And the latest camera - GB? - needs a GB ROM I believe.

i dig little photo a lot, it opens the capability up a lot if you the buck or two for the plugin too!
Camera Effects FX is a pretty elaborate camera as far as effects goes. MIUI one is good 'nuff for everything else, easy and quick to use with enough settings to get what you're wanting out of it.

best full screen camera app

Hi there.
after trying a rom from RSK , I then hade liked CM10.1 rom, but was disappointed that the camera app was nowhere near as good.
so I was wondering if anybody could tell me the best full screen camera app??
I'm using "Camera ICS" from Google play. Works fine with the CM 10.1 roms.

Sandvold's ICS has a very nice camera, nice contrast and saturation values. I downloaded his ROM, then extracted the camera app and replaced it wid VJ's CM10 camera. Works fine for me. you've got to replace the whole gallery app.

Do you have a link to the Sandvold's ICS ROM? I'm very happy with the VJ's CM10.1 (v1.0) ROM beside the stock camera app.
Thanks in advance!

Here it is.... This is not by me, all credit goes to sandvold and whoever helped him in making that rom...
I use Camera zoom fx, if you still need it...
Will it work on CM 7.2?
And if so, can I just paste it with root ecplorer or do I have to unpack the Roman and flash it?
Thank you in advance!

[pseudoFIX] Camera Working on CM10.1

Hi everyone,
Seen that the camera touch to focus is still broken in our SGS3 CM10.1, I've decided to make this script that will solve this problem for you by installing the HuaweiCamera that fully works!
I've tested this on the latest cm10.1 nightly and it worked...
How To:
1. Download Script Manager from the Play Store;
2. Open Script Manager and give it root permission;
3. Open my .pdf file (actually is a .sh file but I think that XDA forum policy does not allow the upload of .sh file. Don't worry, Script Manager will see it like an .sh file )
4. Before you hit RUN, click on the superuser image (This gives root permission at the script)
5. Then, hit RUN and the device should reboot after a couple of seconds...
6. You now have a fully working camera on your CM10.1 SGS3
For any question, feel free to ask
PS: To see the source, just rename the .pdf file attached in fix.sh and open it with vi, gedit, etc...
Edit: re-inserted the script...i had uploaded the old version XD Now it works
so, it just installs the Huawei camera? cool, but how's that original development?

Tried, but not at all satisfied.
I want the stock 4.2.1 camera to work with CM 10.1, but unfortunately, it wont work. So I'll install any 3rd party Camera app. Also Panaroma is not working.
BTW how can I remove it?
Anyways, for your work, +1.
I got over this problem with 3rd party camera software. It has touch the focus and have lots of functions.

What 3rd party does anyone recommend? I've tried MX camera but found it to be clunky.
Does installing this affect the normal cm camera? Because this works but now I get the error of can't connect to camera on the cm camera and I haven't got this error ever before.

In my experience it does not affect the CM camera in anyway (I'm using this fix for two week and so far no problem)

PROCAPTURE is awesome. WAY better than FX Camera or MX It does not include a video mode though, when you choose it's video mode it simply opens the phones stock camera video app.
Currently using Camera ZOOM FX and loving it. Dare I say I actually prefer it to the stock app, which I used for almost two years exclusively, on my Galaxy Nexus.
Hidden the stock camera app using Trebuchet and defaulted Camera Zoom FX so it opens via lock screen swipe. Perfect solution to the only noticeable bug I had with AOSP on the SGS3.
Regards.

how to extract camera app from s4 ?

Hello, i want to install cyanogenmod but from what i read, camer app sux, so i want to install the samsung stock apk, i haven´t flashed CM, (still have touchwiz) how do you extract an apk from the current rom to install it on another rom ???
the touchwiz camera will not work on aosp-based roms as there are framework variations. the 4.3 camera is working superbly for me. cheers.
The cyan camera is great IMO, only issue I've noticed on some aosp ROM's is the HDR being too dark. Easily fixed by just unchoosing and rechoosing the HDR option. I like the focusing a lot more than the stock camera.

Moto-X Camera APK

For anyone sick of the camera lag or HDR being finicky,ive been using the Moto-X Camera APK that I originally came across when I had my S4 (worked perfect on that phone). Tried it on my N5 and works great so far, been using for the last 24 hours without issue.

Link works. How is the moto x camera apk better than ours? Difficult to notice advantages/disadvantages
-Take a picture with one and then other, you'll see the difference!
-Launches faster
Thnx. It has a really nice app interface...
But so far I get a FC when using Panorama. I also can't activate HDR more or the Slo mode? hmmm

Sorry guys :-/ Thought HDR was working for me after I clicked it but didnt realize it wasnt selecting. I think ill continue to use this over the stock app though, maybe one of the dev's will see if we cant get HDR working? Ive tried installing the update to this as well (think it came from the t-mobile version) to no avail..
Have a lot of trouble installing it, every time I do it says app not installed, and I have allowed unknown sources and turned off verify apps

switched back to dalvik and it worked fine. thanks
Downloaded the 3.1.5 version that was posted on Google Play and it gives me an error while attempting to install it, maybe the app that was posted here was modified to make it work with other devices?
Im using Dalvik and still getting the App Not Installed error.
Do i need to Root?
What's art?
On Dalvik and rooted.
All good except for the 'Slo' and HDR feature not working.
Works GREAT !!!!!!!
