Possibly the Best Camera App for Android is now testing on Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

This has been released for all other nexus devices, as well as the other popular phones. It's in testing for the N5 now! I am stoked!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57611881-94/it-wasnt-easy-but-camera-awesome-for-android-is-here/

It's not publically available for Nexus 5 yet though, so this thread feels premature. Cheers for the heads up, anyway.

Agreed, you got me excited with the title, but now I am mad because you jumped the gun. Should have added COMING SOON.

Needs to drop the ugly iOS like interface though. Its really grating.

Personally I like it, but that's just me

That app is free on iOS. Bummer, but understandable as to why they made it a paid app.

Still waiting on Focal myself

Haven't gotten an answer on this in the other places I've asked. There are two different UIs shown in the pics for the app, one looks like iOS and the other looks like it may be a tablet UI. Can anyone confirm if the latter is a tablet UI. If it becomes the phone UI too it looks pretty nice.

I tried the "A Better Camera" app and I really liked it, only problem was the display was super dark which renders it unuseable - I think its not yet been made compatible with the Nexus 5 - anyone else having the same problem?

Yeah, I emailed them about it and that asked that I send them some pictures which I did. Hopefully they fix it.

is the Camera Awesome app really the best out there? The features look good but the reviews are terrible and not very many downloads...
anyone have real experience with it before I commit $3?

The interface on this app looks so cluttered. I wish someone would just blatantly copy the iOS 7 camera app instead of trying to make an app that has literally every feature but 30 on screen buttons. Just simplicity with necessary functionality. It shouldn't really be that hard.

So simple. So nice. Why can't someone make an interface that is as simple as that but even better looking?

70% negative feedback and you call it best camera app? Hahaha

I can't wait for someone to fix the camera app on N5. The lag is crazy.

No Tuch Wiz 4 - 2.3.3 update coming next month

i had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that there is no tuchwiz 4 for galaxy s and update is expected in april ( In europe)
Same funcations as I9000XWJV1 with bug fix
Damn, again a "had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that" thread. Again a waste of time ;s
Well i believe we will get 2.3 final when there ready and not a moment before
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
too bad, would really love touch wizz 4.0
i don't like the icons in touchwizz 3.0, they are to big
as tw 4 is the only real benefit of the s2 i 'd really wonder if samsung was so stupid to give it to the galaxy s users.
i'd probably fire the responsible manager as sammy marketing chief if that actually happens as user i hope for tw4 of course, cant be worse than tw3 or cm as it is atm.
I would like to try TouchWiz 4. The YouTube videos of the SGS2 seems to be very nice. TouchWiz 3 was great, but has some problems, like the homescreen is left and not in the middle.
We wont get tw4 as we are only single prossesor and that will be reason and all these mates at samsung stories starting to get boaring only fact is beta out and final will be realesed when they decide to .be content with what we have amd thats the number 1 mobile on planet that initself should suffice but we want gingerbread are we ever going to be satisfied i dout it

For that you could try gtg465x's modded touchwiz 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523. It has middle homescreen, adds alphabetical order of app drawer and a nice 5 columns fixed apps on the bottom. You only need a rooted device and works on stock ROMs
Are people realy taking this kinda post seriously?
Can we have an "Anti-Thanks" or "Kick" button, please?
Well i do also know around 100 people at the nordic samsung support and they have no clue when 2.3 will be out but as they say seeing that 2.2.1 did just get released again i wont expect it before the nexus s are on 2.4 lool... or like this... around summer time.

WHAT THE... hell! And what about far superior hardware? Does this not count at all?
bah..tw3 or 4 are slowly and heavy ,,realy i prefer cyanogenmod..
I hear that the 2.3 will come out before Milestone 2.2.
p.s. I just a angry mob just switch from MS to I9000
Still no Gingerbread/beard so I guess we'll just have to wait until end of March/beginning of April which is just around the corner. =)
A guy at work told me that his cousin's wife works at Samsung somwhere. She said that 2.3 will in fact have touchwiz 5.

Just incase you were thinking of going back to an Iphone

Try this:

A Brilliant simulation launcher exactly like the Iphones UI....Boring as hell
Well done to the developer for creating such an accurate launcher
if you want iPhone's UI, I think you'd better get an iPhone.
I just hate this "memory game" UI
Sorry just me being sarcastic...
Basically to explain my post, the UI is boring as hell, why on earth would you want to get an Iphone
If you like this you could also try Espier launcher (free on market)!
Aah got bored just watching it
Once ICS is here I guess cant be bothered with all this launchers.....
Cool thanks guys seriously today i was really in a mood of ios n installed MIUI and with these launchers my dream is true

I wholeheartedly agree
i had an iphone before my samsung galaxy s2 !
but i have to say, that iphone is boring now, because the style is always the same ! this was the reason why i bought the samsung galaxy! When you look at the new Iphone 4s you'll see no new style, only the inside life is new, but design is an important point for me !

Samsung Galaxy S III Renders

Hi! I'm proud to present you some of my renders of the next Samsung Galaxy S III. This is how I imagine it, so don't get too excited: this is not how it will look like. Anyway, here are the renders, one black and another white.

This models have been modeled in C4D. I hope you like them!
Honestly, I don't want to be too harsh or anything but.. it just look like a cheap chinese Mp3 player of any kind I mean..
And by the way why physical + software home buttons wtf ?
But I thanked you anyway !
It shows the level of expectation for the phone. Such hype was reserved only for Apple products. Samsung must have done something right.
Well done, but I would have loved less bezel and the home button looks too much iPhone-ish.

Well, C4D isn't the best program to design in. I've moved on 3DS Max. About the home buttons: the homescreen picture is just an ICS picture i've downloaded on the internet.

Amazed at what people can miss. Not to be a peni$ here, but this feature has been there since HoneyComb on my other tablets.
This is my first Android phone, so I cannot say if phones had it prior to ICS. I don't even know if other ICS phones support that, but this being a tablet and I can attest that this feature is not new and has been there since HC on old tablets.
What would be a neat feature is:
1. Add an icon to swipe. Just like on iPhones. I learnt how to modify those swipers that I made my own: with my girlfriend's pic, my pic, my motorcycle, my car, my ***, etc, etc.
2. Gesture unlock just like in Win8. Doodle on a picture to unlock the device. This looks like fun.

I've had this for ages on my Jellybeaned DHD. Best bit is it is backed up and restored with Google backup.

maybe you just dont know how to actually use a camera besides for pointing and clicking? if you just point and click, itll just take an average focus photo, and its not that great. if you press on the point you want it focused on(point and click), itll come out much better, focus and lighting.
Come on guys/gals. Watch the language.
This is just your opinion. I've had much worse cameras on phones such as the moto x. Is it the best camera on a phone? No, but it clearly isn't the worst camera ever. This is what every reviewer said. I kinda doubt you even have a nexus 6 if you are saying it is that bad.

Sounds like user error - there's nothing wrong with the camara...
This thread is useless. Not sure why the mods have let it exist as long as it has existed...
So we can discuss how the first post is wrong so as to not allow others the same lapse in judgment
You can criticize the camera if you'd like, there likely are other cameras that are better and/or worse either overall or in specific situations. The M8 tuning the camera to a lower resolution but better low light performance is an example. There are better cameras sure, but it does take some pretty good shots if low light shooting is your primary concern.
My point is, please debate the camera, debate breeds ideas and opinions which (hopefully) influence what manufacturers put in our devices. But try and be constructive, and where possible specific and/or somewhat scientific in your assessment. If you are, there's a chance we can all help each other find solutions or if need be, recommend a better phone based on your needs.
Now, who's going to hack 60 & 120fps video for us
