Camera instant photos - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now i've been enjoying my sgs2 for 5 months and i love it but the only thing i dislike about it is that it doesn't make instant shots (like the iPhone) . I believe that would really put it on top .. And I was wondering if any developers could edit the camera app to do that, or add a special mode? maybe anyone knows some camera app that does that (not special effects ones like papercamera )
cheers

[DEV REQ] High Res Gallery

Ive always noticed that when I take a pic, and then look at it in gallery, I never get the pic I just took, ie its like a thumbnail of it. I often take a quick snap of writing or lists etc, but this low res version sometimes makes it very hard to see.
I also remember when I was trying to show off the screen, id take a 4mb nat geo pic, try and zoom in, and it looked like ****e really quickly because it was taking a thumbnail.
Do you think its possible with the resources available our phones would smoothly be able to handle the high res [or if not a higher res] version of the gallary?

I think if you wait long enough it renders the higher res thumbnail but it takes awhile. I could be wrong though, haven't really gone into the gallery much.

For the sake of the thread, is there anyway to prioritize this action or make it run in the background so the higher resolution images are preloaded to avoid having to wait?

This, but I was sure on my original stock it never did the original res, because i couldnt read text zoomed in on phone but could non zoomed easily when i got the original file off easily.

I agree
The new Gallery3D app came with froyo increased the res but it is still not full as the original pic.
Those whose says it is, please download the photos to your computer and compare.

Hence my unableness to read text ive taken a picture of, when the actual pic is perfectly fine. I dont might having to toggle super high res mode, or waiting longer etc, I just want to be able to zoom in with original quality.
Not sure if it views it in hi-res but I have noticed that Astro views it a bit better and loads it faster as well. Perhaps give it a try and see if it help at all..
B&B Multi Touch Gallery was working for me to view full resolution, but I feel like it's been abandoned and probably isn't worth buying. Really wish the built in gallery could get it's **** together. Wish they had an options menu with the ability to reduce visual effects to improve picture loading speed and quality.
Just got my N1.
Does it record in 720p or is that a feature only available through root?
I'm on FRF91, thanks!

I think you need to root and load a different ROM. Try CyanogenMod. Search is your friend!
At this second no N1 on Froyo records 720p, theres a bit of trouble porting it. But yes, you would have to root to get it when its release.
I too prefer the default gallery to get its **** together, as its the one which is always there, and the one linked to camera.

[APP] Motion Controlled 3D Gallery

First off this is not my app. I went back to the vibrant for a bit and found this. It works perfect on the MT4G so I figured I'd show it to you guys.
It was made by avdaga and his original thread is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918945
Pretty much it's what the 3D gallery should do. Not just sway the pictures when you move the phone but actually scroll through them.
*If you have the aosp 3D gallery installed already you'll need to uninstall it before installing this one.
Heres the original post:

Hi there,
For a school project I have modified the Gallery3D application to enable scrolling, zooming etc by using the accelerometer.
I have made a short demonstration which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xYkblRYPcY
The mod is based on CyanogenMod-android_packages_apps_Gallery3D-a63279d.
It would be very cool to use scrolling for the selection of pictures within the album grid, so one could open/close the picture by shaking... However, the sourcecode was not so well documented and we couldn't find some functions that would help us implementing this... I must note, the source contains 50+ classes, we have only looked into a few.
For installation instruction check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007
Current Functionality added
VolDown: en/disable motion (disabled by default)
Gallery:
● Scroll by tilting
● Reset to first by shaking
Image view:
● Next/Prev by tilting L/R
● Zoom in/out by tilting U/D
● Reset zoom by shaking
With some help I hope to add the following in the future:
● In grid mode: Select center image
● In grid mode: Open image by shaking
● In grid mode: Prevent scrolling out of the grid range
● In picture mode: return to album by shaking
● In picture mode: initialize zooming at current tilt angle, and zoom from there by holding an overlay button (next to the zoomin/zoomout overlay buttons)
If anyone could help me a hand with the image selection, e.g. by giving me a direction where to find functions for this, I'd be very greatfull!
I'm wondering what you think about it, your questions/remarks are very welcome

lmao i figured they desired some battery mods real quick
but for real the only thing i hate is having both of em cus of that damn screen.... the mt4g wouldnt be so bad if i had gotten rid of the vibrant but seeing them side by side makes the mt4g look like **** (which i hate to say about my baby) but its true besides that i hate the thing I would honestly never buy another samsung phone (hence why NS isnt on my sig list) I stepped away from htc once and it was the worst experience ive ever had lol
oh and on a side note I never saw you post those icons i sent you... i couldnt remember if you asked me to just send you links straight to the flashables though lol sometimes I just lost in piles of msgs
Thanks for the gallery bro! Now get on AIM fker!

I dont remember ever getting the icons, I was just thinking about that yesterday. Maybe I missed the PM or something. I will have to go back and look. I was just playing with my buddies Vibrant. He just put the Froyo update on and was wondering if the lag fix would work. it is so laggy compared to the Glacier. I couldn't believe it. I didnt think his screen seemed much better than mine (good screen) and his seemed kinda color tinted. I dont watch movies or anything like that, I am sure there is a big difference there. I probably couldnt watch a movie on it anyways, that would require me not messing with it for like 2 hours and that aint happening. lol
Hey I saw you were making a zip for that guy in the other thread with the batt icons...YOU ROCK PACK!!! Thanks for everything!!!
Ha...when I posted this you had posted 420 times....I guess I know what I have to do!!
ill resend em to ya... no big deal... I always lose stuff in the ridicules number of messages i have lol
side note: lol after I saw your post I tried not to make another for a while because of that (and i dont even smoke anymore lol) just though it was funny as hell... I didn't notice until you posted that...

not working with CM7
if it says cannot install... you need to uninstall the original one like I said in the OP
in root explorer goto /system/app
goto gallery.apk or gallery3D.apk (cant remember what its called)
and delete it
then install this one
i installed it again in root explorer then appmonster backed it up then deleted from appmonster. then moved this apk and installed. works perfect! Thanks for the tip!

The reason for that is because it is made from the original gallery app. So when you try to install it your device thinks your installing a duplicate application and denies it.

2: Otherwise if i m not using Camera i want the key to do it normal Job
Clearly, i dont want to change keymap//Key bindings
HELP!!! I hope ppl will agree with me on this
That would be really useful.
Its not too much hard. Just use app called ButtonRemaper. If you want do it for free, you need edit one file, but I can't remember it's name. I will keep eye on it.

I by mistake bought ButtonRemaper and now I was tried it and it works, maybe better say that if you keep button pressed than camera will start. But shooter doesn't work (maybe because that it haven't two state (focus - shoot)?)

Did someone identify a way of using a hard button as shutter for the camera, I would find it really useful if so.
"Camera Advance" can set your volume control as shutter.
But I do hope someone will be able to come up with using the search button as shutter for camera apps. Its perfectly positioned when shooting with the phone on landscape position.
If you are using a custom ROM then Cyanogen 7 mod from milks camera will let you do that the only downside is you have to reset the exposure everytime cause it is a lil dark but it is really nice i love it i got so tired of using that stupid lil screen button so check it out
you can

Edit: installed and it works fine No voice controls though automatically like the moto x.

Tip: your camera is upgradeable!

Hey folks... I wanted to toss this out there because I've had a number of friends who got S5's recently and after playing with it a bit didn't realize this... the stock camera app is in a sense upgradeable by downloading new filters and shooting modes. Simply open the app, bring up the list of filters or shooting modes and scroll to the end, where you'll find a Download button. It'll bring you to a list of add-ons in the Samsung app store where you can grab what you want (most free, some not).
I think Samsung largely just took out stuff that was in there on the S3/S4 and made them add-ons, but I'm totally cool with that, and there may be a few new and interesting things too.
Anyway, now you know... and knowing's half the battle
Yay more filters, thanks but I'll stick to Vsco Cam, filters are flexible and u can make your own and not lose resolution. ..
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Currently I'm awaiting a camera app duel article that then lists the best app depending on model of phone and other factors.
That said, I really like the Samsung camera application and find that the flexibility to add additional filters without going third-party is a nice feature.
Strange, for whatever reason, I only show 4 additional modes being available when I check for new modes (via the same Download link within the camera app). Any suggestions?

Because that's all there are. In another thread, someone asked about Macro. The auto mode seems to focus pretty darn close. I was maybe three inches away from or less and the focus was right on.

Thanks for confirming my original suspicions. When I had read the OP, it sounded as though additional filters/modes (beyond the current 4) were already available, but that I had somehow blocked them by disabling so many unneeded applications in an attempt to fight bloat.
Yeah, I did notice that the macro capabilities had improved a touch from the S4. This was a pleasant surprise, considering I like to play around with taking neat macro/detail shots of stuff. With the few extra megapixels and the selective focus, it's even better.
While using the camera If you click on settings and click effects, it gives you the option to download more effects as well. Scroll through the effects to the bottom and there will be a download icon. A few of them though cost $1
