I had a stock Evo 3D for a while, waiting till HBoot 1.50 got cracked, when my phone screen cracked. Filed an insurance claim, received a new phone with HBoot 1.30, and immediately rooted and flashed the CM7 ROM.
Before I remember there was an option in the Gallery or the Camera .apk where you could "enhance" or "auto correct" a picture, similarly to the "auto correct" feature in Windows Picture Viewer. You could select a bunch of different options, like vintage, sepia, B&W and other ways to change the pic. This was after the picture had been taken, not a setting while taking the picture.
Since I'm on CM7, I can not find that option anymore. I'd like it back, but don't know how or where to get it. Can anyone help me? I'm using it specifically to auto correct pictures taken in low light and other situations. I don't really care about the other stuff that you can do, like most gallery apps in the market offer. I just want to be able to enhance the picture like auto correct.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
I think that was part of the sense camera. Since cm7 is aosp it won't have it.

Yea, off the top of my head, two routes come to mind in order resolve this issue. Neither of them are easy or simple and personally I probably wouldn't take either, but perhaps somebody else will. Both routes require a bit of time and effort.
1) Port the feature over to the CM gallery. The CM code is all open source and they will accept code from anybody who can meet basic coding standards and has a workable patch, i.e. adding a patch for auto correct into the CM gallery. I'm sure they would accept this additional feature if it was coded properly.
2) Reverse the HTC feature and port over the apk over to CM. I see a few issues with this as most of the HTC apps use their framework, these frameworks would also have to be reversed out and/or ported over along with the application.
Hope the more technical details behind some possible routes to accomplish the goal help provide a better understanding of the process!
you could try a different camera app. zoom fx was 10 cents today, not sure if it does it, but my guess is a market camera app would have this feature.

Tried the Zoom FX, returned it. I've tried many camera apps and gallery apps. None of them have what I'm looking for. They all have settings/modes that are neat; but none of them enhance/auto correct for photos.
Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks guys!
I found this on the Android Market online and installed it from there since I can't find it on the app store. It has the auto enhance feature and kind of the 2d Gallery. It does have ads though.
I can't paste the link since I'm a new user. Google "Photo & Picture Gallery market.android" and you will find it.
Hope this helps you find what you are looking for - sort of
Why not try little photo? It has a ton of editing options

Hey guys, whenever i send a Picture Message from a photo taken in potrait, it always sends the picture sideways. ie, all my portrait pictures get rotated 90 degrees, and look as if they were in landscape. My wife has a nexus one, and this issue is non existent. I use chompSMS, but this issue is also present in the stock messaging app, and handcent. i have looked through all the settings, but cannot find what would seem to be the answer. Any help would much be appreciated thanks.
no one else has this issue? or cares lol. Its driving me insane
Crop it before you send it. Works on uploading to Facebook. You can select the full picture but just crop and save and when you upload it the picture will be facing the right way. Strange but true.
But why is this specific to this phone. The nexus one doesnt have this issue. Why would samsung make us go through all this work to send a lousy pic message in portrait mode!
My iphone didn't do it either. But we can only hope it will get fixed on an update.

My iphone 3g, 3gs both did it properly, on at&t and on t-mobile.
I don't have the phone but I suspect it's using the accelerometer to tell how your holding the phone and then automatically rotating it after taking the picture. It's a feature but one I'd like to believe you could turn off in the camera settings? Hope that helps.
I have noticed the same thing, but I have no idea how to "fix" although I suspect its the custom camera app
It's not the messaging app's problem. It's the camera. If you were to take a portait picture, then plug your phone into your computer and view the pictures, they would all be sideways.
It's a really stupid issue that should not exist.
it pisses me off too, if you go into the gallery the pictures are saved the right way but as soon as you send it, its incorrect
Anyone know if this will be resolved in the froyo update? or if there is a hack to fix this?
would his be fixed if I changed the stock to the captivate's camera? Or a different camera app

I have the issue with the stock messaging app in CM10 (10/29/12 nightly) on my Galaxy S2 (Hercules). I know that this is a thread for the Vibrant, but I am looking for solutions as well. I have found that Handcent properly displays pictures taken in portrait mode, but would prefer to use the stock messaging app as the Jelly Bean app has the pop-up/quick reply feature that I used Handcent for.
This is a simple mod I made to the stock android 2.2 camera application. It binds the hardware search button to take pictures, since the phone doesn't have a hardware camera button.
I couldn't find something already to accomplish this for me and I figured others may also want a hardware button as I did.
Caveat: The stock 2.2 camera can only take up to 5MP shots or at least that's what it reports. I personally don't mind too much since it's largest use case would self portraits or when you're out with friends.
At any rate I hope it's useful.
*Update*
Okay I've updated and added a few things.
- It will now write to your actual sdcard "sdcard-ext" not the internal one
- I now have for both the 2.2.2 DX2 and the 2.3.3 DX2 for whichever your on.
- I have versions with and without notification bars. I don't like full screen in portrait personally.
I also decided to attach the stock the AOSP gallery I have been using
- This has a 2.2.2 and 2.3.3
- It also has notification bar or full screen
Please pick the proper version. NotificationBar in the name denotes that it is not full screen.
Hope you enjoy.
Very cool. Works great!

IF i wanted to go back to stock after installing this what would i do? Also why is this wanting full permissions to install? Why does it need gps loaction and to be able to look at sms messages

TL;DR Version: This wont replace stock. It uses same permissions as the regular one. I assume (GPS) geo-tag and (SMS) for tight picture message integration.
********************************************************************
-------------------------- Long Version --------------------------------------------
********************************************************************
It doesn't remove the stock because it's not the same package name. Android is designed to not let two applications of the same name (package name not display name) reside on the same system. If you try to install a second one it will assume it is an update and replace the old. This will fail because my signing key is not the same as the one on your stock camera application.
You'll have two install cases:
First on a stock android or one without a renamed camera package. This application will not replace it because it's a different package name (com.android.camera vs com.android.cameramod. It will simply run along side it.
Now if you're running this on the Droid X2 or another motoblur I believe the package is renamed on there to com.motoblur.camera or something to that effect. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the permissions those are stock permissions of the AOSP camera application. You can confirm this by going into settings > applications > camera > show permissions.
I don't know them all off of the top of my head but I think (anyone feel free to correct me)
- Your messages - read SMS or MMS (for strong picture message integration ?)
- Your location - fine (GPS) location (geo-tagging pictures)
- Storage - modify/delete SD card contents (to save pictures)
- Phone Calls - read phone state and identity (prevent use while on call ?)
- Hardware controls - record audio, take pictures (it says it right under it...)
- System tools - prevent phone from sleeping (as does this one, obvious no ?)
*EDIT*
Note that it doesn't have network access. If the application was malicious and data mining you how would
it report any information back ?
Ok thanks for the clarification. I am still new to android. I also thought this was modifying the original camera app in some way not actually replacing it. Thnaks for clearing everything up.
@kc9bvi you're modifying the original camera app on the X2 ? Theme or the source ? I'm interested in the latter if you've access to it.
Isn't this just a different cam app?
I installed it and it gave me the stock android cam app when I opened it. The X2 cam app isn't perfect, but I think its better then the plain android one. Is there a way to modify the existing cam app, to make the search button take the pic?
This is not the Droid X2 camera app. It's not widescreen, there's no continual auto focus and the controls are different. It does work as it says it should, however.

Yes it opens the stock one because that's what it was built from. As for modifying the BlurCamera I have considered it and started looking into it. This can be done one of two ways, first and quite obvious if someone has the BlurCamera source I can use, second by using apktool and modifying the code in smali. To do this I need a deodexed BlurCamera.apk. I was trying to do it myself and got this error. If someone can help me with it or has a deodexed 2.2 BlurCamera.apk I can use I would like to try.
The error output is attached if anyone can help with it.

I've Noticed On Any ROM So Far That Sometimes The Stock Browser Won't Download At Times. Couple Good Browsers Free In The Market Are Skyfire And Boat Browser Mini. Good Luck.
I've updated it. Check the main post.
Thanks, I will try it on my DX2
A shame it can't push 8mp huh. But I love having it sync to the non fail gallery
A very sincere thank you to the OP for making these apps with so many options. Your work.is greatly appreciated!
Using Cyanogen 6 (heavily modified 2.2 Froyo), HTC Desire Z/T-Mobile G2. I was wondering if there's a way to disable geotagging in Camera360. No matter what picture I take, it still sticks the GPS information into the picture. The stock Camera app actually doesn't do this.
I know within Camera360, when you're taking a picture, you click on the little gear on the upper right (if viewed landscape), go to Preferences, and uncheck Record GPS location. The thing is, for me Record GPS location is already unchecked, but if I take a picture, it STILL stores the GPS location/geotag.
Is there some sort of setting in Froyo that's overriding this or am I doing something incorrectly in Camera360?
EDIT: All right, from what I can tell, if you SPECIFICALLY go to the Preferences, make sure the Record GPS location option is unchecked, then hit the back button, it won't save the geotag FOR THAT PICTURE. But if you go straight into the Camera360 app and take a picture without messing with the settings, it'll try to save a geotag. Granted, the geotag that's saved for me contains bogus coordinates that makes stuff like Google Earth choke on them, but I still find it incredibly annoying to have to do this for EVERY picture I take.
Is there any way to make this a permanent default setting for all my pictures?

If gps is off it won't add tags. I don't have gps on and it just flashes a message on startup saying it cannot geotag pictures.
Or if you are rooted use lbe privacy guard to deny the app gps permissions.

OMG why did it take me months (years?) before I heard of this app. I've been grumbling to myself how $#@&% annoying it is that I can't control permissions of apps on MY phone!!!
Sure, some people could say "well just don't install the app then" - but I don't like that option. I want to install the app, then tell it to f#@k off when it wants to: access the Internet, read my private data, or collect un-needed information about me, thank you very much!
I'm about to smash my Photon and I need some help. I recently upgraded to peetr's custom 2.3.5 hybrid ROM so I could use TMobil. The only camera app I can get to work with photobucket uploading is the stock camera. I've tried 3 other camera apps, and every time I select "photobucket" as the "Share this photo" destination, I get the "Media added to photobucket queue" message....and that's it. No uploading. No errors, nothing. If I use the stock camera to take a pic and select photobucket, it uploads just fine.
The problem is, the stock camera is tied into "Gallery ICS" and I can't separate them. In my previous setup, when I took a pic with the stock camera, then clicked on that pic in the bottom left corner, the pic would pop up full screen and I could check it out and upload or delete it.
In peetrs ROM, when I take a pic and then click on it, it opens Gallery ICS, which then shows me a thumbnail of every fricking folder anywhere on my camera I have a photo saved. WTF? I don't understand why anyone could possibly want that behavior from a camera app, but whatever. I've scoured the settings and I can't find any way to stop Gallery ICS from popping up when I want to view a pic in the camera.
Does anyone know how to fix the photobucket uploading issue or force the camera to just let me view a pic when I click on it?

Just a thought that you could try actually searching the the first post of this ROMS thread. The answer is right there under the optional APKs.
BlurCamera with gallery choice - mainly for Quickpic (pictures must be on internal SD)
That should hopefully fix your issue. I'll test with my photobucket to see if I can make it upload.

If you can't set the photo gallery that launches, I would just move on to trying a different/previous camera. Can you go to manage apps and clear any defaults that would be causing it to only use that gallery?

Yes, I've cleared data, it did nothing. I really don't understand how this replacement camera is supposed to work, if it even does. Has anyone here successfully swapped out their stock camera with the one linked in the first post and have it working? If so, could you please respond?
This is the most frustrated I've been in 3 years, 2 cameras and a dozen roms. The stock camera and Camera ICS on this rom blinds everything with the flash making them unusable. This replacement camera doesn't blind everything with the flash, but it throws this damn "Media Gallery not installed" error. I just want crap back like it was, where I had a stock camera with a flash that didn't blind everything and let me open pics to view them without showing me every picture gallery on the camera. Of course I can't go back to that rom since I flashed the KDDI radio.
I'm sure some of y'all used a iPhone before.
When you use the camera app, Snapchat, Instagram, whatsapp, Facebook camera.
The quality is the same.
But if you do the same with SOME Android phone. Especially if it has dual cameras than you get mix results.
With a dual camera like the v30 you can't pick the default camera to open on a app.
(ex: whatsapp uses the wide angle and instagram uses the normal camera)
The camera quality is horrible! "ex: camera quality looks burry on instagram"
Is there a way over this?

Use the app's ability to choose from Gallery. I always do that. EVERY app like Facebook, WhatsApp lets you choose from your Gallery.
The only time I use an app to actually take a picture is for my banking app to deposit checks. (Some apps will even let you choose from ANYWHERE on your phone, like Download folder through a file explorer but Facebook does not -- it only lets you choose Gallery.
Just this morning I went into WhatsApp to verify the exact steps. You choose the "camera" symbol, then from there you can either take a picture or "swipe up for Gallery". It's written right there on the page in WhatsApp interface.
When I choose from the Gallery, I know the picture is exactly the way I want it, cropped right, etc. With the LG V30, you would then have also chosen which of the three cameras you wanted to take the picture with -- either of the two front cameras or the selfie camera.

The phone camera does have filters to make shots look better... There's a couple of threads in this forum devoted to that.
But you're right -- you're not going to have the comic filters and stuff.
