Tap-to-Focus Camera - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a camera that well-supports tap to focus?
I'm usually back and forth between CM9 and CM10 and I use either the stock Camera in Cyanogen or Camera ICS+ and neither of them seem to support tap-to-focus. I can only choose Auto, Infinity, or Macro and can't adjust the focus manually so I've had so much trouble getting pictures of text properly focused.
I just wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a solid camera in Jelly Bean/ICS. I know the stock Samsung camera supports it but the application is garbage otherwise and I don't use the stock ROM.

Are you talking about just having it focus in the middle? Tap the screen and it will focus
Or do you mean being able to focus on a certain area of the picture? I want to be able to focus on an area. I believe the touchwiz camera does that but I haven't had a touchwiz rom in a long time......
I did find that camera 360 does it.
Which is an ok app but it's a bit hinky in many regards.
Anyone know of any other apps that do this?

I found this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starvingmind.android.shotcontrol
It has the function (see the yellow squares in the first pic) but they aren't active on my phone. I'm running a AOSP ICS rom.
I'm wondering if it works on a touchwiz ICS ROM?
I suppose the odds are slim someone has the app and is on one of those roms.
I guess I'll flash one and quickly see and report back.

Shot control ita the best professional camera app out there

Any idea why the touchwiz camera can do the focus but shot control can't. I sent the developer the configuration and it says those are turned off.

[Q] Instagram

Anyone knows of an app like instagram for android? They have instagram in the market which is acutally named instadroid but won't let me upload photos.
They don't have anything exactly like instagram, though I've heard they are making it.
They closest I've found is Picplz
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.picplz.rangefinder&feature=search_result
instagram now available on play store
anyone knows where does it store the processed images, im trying to find one to be able to uploadit (without using instagram itself to share)
and cant find the image
Running Creamed Glacier with the camera Fix and using Pudding Camera app inside of Instagram.
I'm able to take a picture and crop, but the filter selection mode crashes and won't let me upload any picture, from the camera or from sdcard.
Advanced camera is set to off, before I was getting a blank screen.
Anyone gotten a picture uploaded successfully? I may just reboot my phone to see if that solves the issue
Are you having any problems with it? I have it downloaded but it glitches when taking a picture and FC I'm using the hybrid rom of zip and blackwing

Yeah, glitchy for me, I'm impressed with the compatibility for different cameras and galleries, but It FCs whenever I upload any photo. (The crop step is also very annoying If I don't want to crop anything) Immediately following that it bounces back to the home menu with no uploaded photo
if any of you dont like or are having problems with instagram, i can recommend PICSART , in the edition and filter section it is very complete, it lacks a little bit in the social networking, but its getting better, you can do amazing stuff with your pics (no cropping required)

its gotten to the point were i uninstalled, for first release it was quite an achievement i personally blame the rom (no offense to devs, but its true we're still working on the bugs [ this rom is stable yet and won't be until further notice. But if i was on stock rom it would be an amazing app.
I'm using the instagram camera & when I switch the FFC its like all sideways O__o

No problems on my side runs perfect if you go to your page and go to settings u can disable the instagram camera and use the regular camera it might help

You can change the camera settings in whatever camera app you are using, Instagram only accepts larger pictures. I'm not sure of the minimum size though.
I'm still getting FC when I upload, There was an update for the app today and I thought it would fix ie. But nah. Longshot for that one. I'll check out Picstart in the meanwhile
Instagram
Using Instagram on Creamed Glacier and it's working pretty well and smoothly. All effects work and such.
Another update came out today, Fixed all the "Photo To Small" Problems

I use Vignette, kicks instagram's butt
Hahah, I dont know but yeah instagram may be a bit buggy, but it's getting there with their updates, especially with the "photo too small" problem they used to have.
Instagram is really good. The only thing annoying me about it right now is the cropping function. It doesn't let you add full pictures and you can only crop in a small part of the picture. And that it doesn't have landscape mode.
I never saw the appeal of instagram. Can someone explain to me why, everybody swears by it. To me it's just another camera/photo-editing app.

Unnamed rom camera zoom still there?

Can someone show me how to use the camera zoom function in Unnamed rom v1.3.1, especially now that the interface has changed? Hopefully it's still there.

Pinch to zoom
Haha , that's what I figured. Was hoping for something more intuitive but everything is awesome with the rom, I can't complain.

Great mod, the only thing I would like is allowing shutter button to work with portrait mode.

Question regarding the camera button

Is it possible to have the camera button open a third party camera app? I really like the camera button but would prefer to use Camera Zoom FX
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I believe that if you install the app when you go to press it it should ask which one you want to open, stock or it will show you the list of all applicable apps, at least this is the reaction I got in every other device.
Now I know that because of the apple injunction we suffered this may not be the case if your fully stock so you might have to search the threads to modify your build.prop in order to get this working.

I actually went inside the camera Zoom app and there is a setting for making it the default camera

Alternative camera apps?

Anyone try any good camera apps?
I like the stock HTC camera app. The panoramic is nice and so is best shot.
Procapture is nice. Nice panoramic and working touch focus.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture.free
Any other good suggestions?
I always used Vignette as my default camera app on my og Evo, but honestly, with this new phone, the stock app works so good and I am able to get some good effects with it that I stick with the stock app now.

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
