[Q] Camera app + Real-time effects? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As we all know, instagram isnt here yet. Ive used it before and i really enjoyed the real-time effect previews before you snap a picture. Is there any camera app for android with real-time capabilities? I dont care about the social aspects of the app, as long as it has real-time previews. Ideas?

Um? anyone?

It does not have realtime, but after you take a picture, you can compare the effect with the original by touching the picture. Camera360. At least it's worth a try.

Umm... Realtime effects, the only one I know had this capability is "Paper Camera". However its real time effects might not be the kind you're looking for... It captures with a comic, sketch or painting-like effects.. Latest update comes with video recording in the desired mode too..

Thanks for the tips! I've used both, and i have to say paper camera is really amazing. But ataraxy was right, the real time effects are not the effects im looking for...

try Nemus Camera

iphone has a app called ''Action Movie FX'' you filmed something and then it processed and put's an explosion, would be realy cool to see it on android.

nemus camera is very good!!

Any good 3rd party camera apps with timers?

While the HTC camera app has timers for both front and rear cams I was wondering if anyone is using a better alternative. The HTC camera app is kinda lacking but it has timers, would be nice to have the best of both worlds.
anyone?

Live Wallpaper/Stand Alone App - Live Feed Camera.

Let me start off by saying I don't know too much about any technicalities or requirements needed by hardware for applications. This is simply an idea.
Now how possible would it be to have an app/live wallpaper that uses the camera either front, back or both and overlays the home screen entirely. In other words having a realtime camera feed as a live background.
Again its an idea but there can be a feature able to instantly screenshot an image from the actual feed and use it as a stationary wallpaper on the go or just as an easier way to take a photo.
The world is your background. Let's say I have the wallpaper applied and I see a interesting wall with graffiti. I can pull out the phone either record a short 5-10 second clip or snap a picture to use as my wallpaper with ease.
Any feedback as to the likelihood of something like this or similar being possible is welcomed.

Here's one on the market:

I'm using one, and it works, and it's free, called "camera through wallpaper" by "chikashi yajima". On the market
I'm a bit late but thanks nonetheless to you guys that gave some input. I tried them all and found my favorite "camera through wallpaper" by Chikashi Yajima

I imagine that would be a major battery hog, but very cool to show off your phone.

Battery Hog it is. I've used it to show off a couple times but to use it daily i would need a double stacked extended battery.

Decent drawing app

Hello,
I am looking for an app to annotate maps.
Meaning, open up a jpeg, zoom into it at some arbitrary point, and then write on it/draw arrows.
I am, for some stupid reason, finding it hard to find one.
I see lots of various 'editors' like photoshop express that let you do crop/color changes/etc. But not just DRAW.
photo.editor by dev.macgyver has a zoom - which doesn't let you scroll afterwards. So you can only draw in the center. So that's useless.
Sketchtalk mobile FCed on me.
Why is it so hard to find a decent s-pen drawing app? @#&$#&@$#@
- Frank
The only app I've found which does what you're asking for is Skitch, but for some reason when using the s-pen the drawings are rather laggy. Not so when you use your finger, but I'd much rather use the s-pen.

Yea, skitch works. Thanks!
What is most annoying is that when you take a screenshot, it goes into some sort of editor that does exactly what I want.
But I have no clue how to trigger it manually (screenshot is much lower res than my actual picture)
- Frank
I think it opens s-note when you do that, but from what I can tell it's all fixed to a certain resolution and your images just get resized to fit.
You could always find yourself a copy of photoshop touch v1.3.2 (this specific version)
you can draw on canvases up to 4000x4000 and it supports layers too

I tried it out - you are correct, it is indeed s-memo.
You can import pictures into s-memo (it's a little tedius, to be honest), but s-memo will resize your picture to some reduced size. (the 'fit to screen resolution', looks like)

Skitch seems like it should be the right program but air view seems to mess with it. It is impossible to select things consistently and I get lines and thing sdrawn when I am not touching the screen

Photoshop touch says it is "incompatible with my device"
I can't see a way to get the specific version you mention.
this app looks pretty good seen here

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sketchbook
Sketchbook Mobile is the best drawing app imo.
sketchbook mobile it is - skitch is just too freakin' laggy with the pen.
SKM is horribly confusing, but once you get it worked out it's alright.
Manuals/documentation are at:

The in-program help is just brutally bad.

Try photo desk. It let's you open any photo you have and draw on it https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._medium=organic&utm_term=photodesk+play+store
Doesn't cut it for you to just get to wherever point in the map and doing a screenshot and drawing on it? it's pretty straight-forward.

Smemo resizes the picture to screen resolution, and also doesn't allow reopening saved images. Sometimes that isn't acceptable. It's great for those other times though.

In the samsung apps store, there is a free app called 'Photo editor' that does the job just fine too.
The drawing is in a weird place, and I missed it originally.
When you open a pic, you are in a 'effects' submenu. Back out (left arrow in the top bar)
Now go into 'decoration' (!) -> drawing -> pen
And you can now draw/save/etc.

You could try picsay, or picssy pro from the play store. I have used it for years, and it is great, for everything you can think of for editing, annotations, colour corrections. It doesn't have the professional feel of Photoshop, it's more artistic

GE edition - Apps to download to replace missing sense features

I was wondering if anyone knew of a nice gallery app that is similar in smoothness to the sense app?

I don't know why people love the Zoes so much, I hated the Sense gallery app, I just a nice, no frills way to organize & view my images, not give fancy slide shows for others
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Haha, I suppose that's the beauty of android - a tailored experience for everyone. I like how you can have events organized by location and I do enjoy the preview slide shows.
Zoes: I like the 3 second snap shots. They're annoying to share but a neat way to remember an experience.

"A tailored experience for everyone" - I like it! I'll have to remember that phrase especially when I'm talking to Apple users.
I'm also intrigued by the Zoes, but have some mixed feelings about them. I tried to use them to take little "action shots" but found the timing to be very difficult to get right (sometimes it seems like the interesting part happens just after it stops, or it takes a moment to focus and you miss the beginning). It'd be nice to be able to tweak the duration, which got me thinking why not just have it where you press and hold the camera button and it does video/stills until you let go? Then I thought wait, why am I doing this again, why don't I just record a short video in the first place?
Not sure what the answers are, but I like that we're trying new ideas.

If you're taking zones for grabbing still frames, you can press the camera button and hold to get burst shots. You can also take video and then grab frames from that.

It does nothing different than the normal camera app. Yes, the standard camera app also does HDR. In fact your link clearly states it. It is a modified Android 4.2 camera for Android 2.3+.
If you use the cm camera and HDR it looks horrid to me. I can take an HDR pic with the Google edition camera and it looks great. Same picture with the CM camera come out so dark you can't see it. This one comes out the same as the Google Edition camera but actually works on AOSP. So to me and apparently others it is a nice camera.

This. It seems AOSP cam is only keeping the low light portion of the HDR shot. With this app you can also manipulate your storage location, change the fps on video recording, keep the originals of your HDR shot before processing, etc. Its a killer app and has rounded out the features on AOSP for me.

All this and more. The AOSP camera HDR setting is dark and produces sub par pictures for my taste. This is a great alternative. Was missing the pop that TW camera software gave you with the HDR setting.
Love your username. LoL
