Hey so I'm really a big fan of CMX, but I am far too spoiled by the Sense camera. Anyone know of ONE good camera app that can do burst the same way, supports the button the same way, and really is as much like the Sense one as possible?
Give this one a try.

the s3 camera can do burst mode, but it doesn't have the best image picker, it just saves them all.

I'll be looking info the s3 camera app. Only reason I'm using cm10 as my daily driver.

Where can I get the S3 camera? I've been looking but, knowing myself as well as I do, I probably looked right at it and didn't realize.

The s3 camera is nice. It only does a 5 pic burst and it's not a "press and hold the button" its a setting that you have to turn on when you wanna use it.
It's ok, but not even close to the sense camera which is unfortunate. Still love JB tho

Personally I really like the Sense Camera and it was difficult at first to even consider AOSP due to the amount of horrible camera apps out there. BUT... I do enjoy the S3 Camera. Yes it doesn't burst when you hold the capture button as Rippley05 said, but it will burst to 5, 10, 15, or 20 pics at a time depending on what you set it to. There is also issues with 1080p recording, but I hardly ever do video so that doesn't matter to me.
It has all the other functionality that the HTC app has. I also think it takes better night or dark lit photos with less banding and noise. I'm happy with the CM10 9/29 nightly and this app. It will take some time for sense to win me back.

The Amaze has a VERY nice camera app, beats our stock app in a few ways. I searched and found it had been ported to the Evo 3D, the graphics were a little screwy, and it FC'S when you take a pic.
Anyone willing and able to port this, fix the graphics and fonts and get it to work?
What's different or better?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
More bells and whistles mostly, a LOT more scenes to choose from, a higher ISO setting, also, the Evo 3D guys are claiming much improved pic quality. Plus, options are good I THINK its the same sensor in ours and the Amaze?
you could just improve the stock camera app give me a couple of minutes and ill make a commit to my svn with a better camera app
So far I'm not a fan of the stock camera app.... no metering option, ISO only to 800, most of the scenes seem worthless. The picture adjustments change too severely. But mostly, it ruins pics by defaulting to way too high ISO, and too much saturation.
I've been using Vignette and getting MUCH better results.
You can pull the APK from any of their roms and try to install it, you might have to wait until we have root access and push it though.
def agree the camera has room for improvement
the worst thing with the stock app has to be the utterly ridiculous white balance.... NONE of the options give a result that is anywhere near correct in artificial lighting.
I heard in all the reviews the sensor was improved, but i dont see how over my thunderbolt or incredible2. Cant wait til this whole country is covered in 4g so i dont need a new sim card everytime i use a non 4g phone, utterly wasteful
The sensor DOES seem to be much improved. I took a video last night in very low light that my Dinc NEVER would have been able to get. It would have been a blurry mess. I've gotten some good low light pics too. But I've been using Vignette which blows the stock camera app away in both picture quality and number of options. It was my kids birthday yesterday, we took her to Chuck E Cheese, forgot to bring our point and shoot, but the Rez made a more than adequate substitute....
for anyone not impressed with this camera please do yourself a favor and try some alternate software....

if you were to take a 13mp camera for example from the droid razr hd in china, and pop it in the rezound, would it work? or would you need programming for it?

nope.....needs kernel support...the libraries need to support it as well
*bump*
Still holding out hope for a ported Amaze camera app or an improved stock app...
EDIT: for what its worth, the camera hardware is pretty decent. I've been using Vignette as my primary camera app and consistently get better results than the stock app. It also has many more options and adjustments available.
The downside is it is slow, clunky, and not well integrated like the stock app. I find I have to constantly babysit the settings to get the really good results, and getting to the gallery or sending messages requires leaving the app as the built in "shortcuts" don't work correctly.
The evo 3d apk works but takes really screwed up pictures

Check out Camera ICS...This seems to be faster than the Rezound stock camera. It takes pictures pretty damn quick, at least it seems, almost as fast as the Nexus. Has anyone used this yet? If so, thoughts? Why can't the Rezound stock camera app perform like this app? I also don't see any picture quality difference between the two. Let me know what you guys thinK.

do you mean the "review duration"? i dont see the preview feature option to turn off/on?
after i take a picture using the stock app on the rezound the onscreen camera button dissapears for just a second, therefore i have to wait for the onscreen button to come back to take another shot. camera ics doesnt need to wait. the camera button is always there, i just keep clicking it and it takes pic after pic, no lag. i think there is a huge difference.
Hmm it's usually pretty fast for me. I've tried Camera ICS and both work well. Yeah I mean the review duration.
Good find! I'm running a Extreme Outcast's de-sensed rom 2.7.3 and so far this camera app seems to be an improvement. It's the FIRST camera app on any rom that actually has working "auto white balance". Finally, no more yellow/green/orange tinted photos and/or having to adjust white balance everywhere I go.

yeah i took the review duration off and it is a bit faster but the issue is with the camera button. after i press it to take a picture it goes away so i have to wait for it to come back. with camera ics, like i said above, the button is permanent there so i can just keep snapping pics one after another. i think its leaps above the stock, but hey im sure someone will find it very useful.
I downloaded "SD Speed Increase" from the market and increased my SD Card Speed to 2048kb. That seems to really help the camera performance on both on the Rezound and my old incredible. Huge difference actually.
You do lose some of the built in camera effects with this app. And I personally still think the Sense camera UI is a little nicer than stock ICS.
But, I do agree that the app takes pictures quicker than the stock camera, and that was worth a buck to me.
... The camera, Coming from an HTC device with 0 shutter lag is painful. Especially since 90 % of my pictures are of my 10month old daughter, the 1-3 seconds between the time i press the shutter button and when it actually snaps is killing me. Then it doesn't help that it freezes and shows the picture i want but then save the frame from 2sec. Later, please tell me this isn't the norm and i need to send it back

I hate to say it but it seems to be normal for the camera,mine is the same way,if you want a fast camera try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcameralite&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zcHJpdGVmaXNoLmZhc3RidXJzdGNhbWVyYWxpdGUiXQ.. that is the free version which don't allow any settings to be changed like the paid version but it is super fast.
I'm hoping ICS will fix this. It IS painfully slow...sometimes it takes as much as 5 seconds before it has written the image and I can take another.
I feel your pain man, but have bad news for you. Them lil monsters dont slow down any, so you better learn to live by the motto "accuracy through volume". I have twin 2.5 year olds. I just start tapping that shutter button and dont bother with the preview, just snap snap snap and hope for the best.
I have noticed severe shutter lag as well. I thought it was the ROM I was using (TPC) but found the same thing with both Saurom and stock.

That's what I do with action shots with any camera. Preview is nice, but you're best off to fire off shots, then sort through the pics later.
Camera360 doesn't do this, so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the OS build.
Its the camera app...not the camera. I have been playing with camera apps from other devices like the skyrocket and they work with no lag but the ui is off (size/ resolution difference)
Someone pulled the ics camera app and posted in the apps section a while back btw

hmm... interesting
i just tested, it's not as exageratd as 3 mili sec lag, but it does take at least 1 mili sec before you are able to shoot again
i say it's intresting because on the T989 which have practically the same innars except for the high res screen, and LTE radio
the camera on the T989 is instant, i can shoot non stop, 0 mili sec lag
I am just wondering, is the shutter speed of the camera software based or hardware based... just seen how fast the galaxy sIII camera shutter is and even that of the google nexus compared to the one EVO3D have... hope its a software base... so that at least there is a chance brilliant devs can include it in their custom ROMS...
been asking this for sometime now... but not getting any answer so far..

I remember reading some time ago that Chad was working on adding zero shutter lag to the 3d through his kernel, but it would break the 3d capabilities of the camera. It did not happen afaik, but I am not sure if it was because it ended up not being possible due to hardware or what.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
I don't use 3D that much so zero lag on 2D would be nice.
im pretty sure its hardware, but i dont know, in the recent ICS leak, the roms that have been coming out have been outstanding but it seems the shutter lag has gotten slower then the GB bulid roms. it could just be me though.
have that feeling too.. but cant try the gb stock rom now... just dont want to go backwards...

Same here, since I went to MeanROM ICS my battery has been burning faster, but the user interface of ICS is worth it... not to mention the facial recognition lock screen? oh yeah...
There's a camera app called Fast Burst Camera that you guys could try, there's a feature limited free version, and a pay version, i was looking forward to chad's zsl... but anyways, i like the results of the lite version but only been using it for 2 days, i read somewhere that the app actually records a video and then give you the frames. Am planning on upgrading my phone so am not paying for the app. Anyways give it a try...let us know how was your exp. with the app...

yup, just tried it and it works... the pix is not as nice as the one taken from mwakious cam mod though..... hey wait,,, if this app can force our camera to shoot at that speed... then there is a great possibility smart devs can do something about this with the stock camera apps....???????????????????
also, it will force open the stock cam apps if you press the shutter for the continuos shots...

How is the quality? Since video tends to be recorded at a lower resolution that still pictures, I would think that would reduce quality by doing it this way.
From what I'm seeing the aosp camera does WAYYYY better at taking night pics than the lg camera. But pictures in motion or of motions still kinda sucks. But in daylight I feel this camera is second to none

Are you referring to the camera when running custom rom or is that available to sideload/download over stock rom? In what other instances is it better, same or worse than the stock camera?
Sorry for the noob Q but I really don't want to lose the good camera when rocking a custom ROM. I only want the custom rom as I'm coming from the super stable/smooth Nexus 4. Everything from games to regular apps are highly optimised for the nexus software. Yet I love, knock on, IR blaster, built in radio, stock camera etc of the G2.
Really not a fan of the AOSP camera when I flashed OES ROM. Anyone know if it's possible to sideload the LG camera app, or is it just impossible?
Well i have malladus custom stock rom. His rom has some kind of update that make the camera focus faster in daylight. But the AOSP rom that i used had a WAYYY faster autofocus at night.

What AOSP ROM were you using? Isn't malladus a stock based ROM?
I sideloaded the nexus 5 camera app on my stock rooted G2 and found it to be seriously weak compared to the stock camera app. Although in dark conditions, even the stock camera would show motion blur all the time. I'm dying to flash AOSP but don't want a poor camera.
Are my fears unwarranted?

The stock camera app is pretty solid for me. Loving this thing so far!!!
Exactly David. I've done side by side comparison with family i5 taking still shots and the g2 produced better exposed and detailed images. Moving objects however and the iPhone was much better.
Do you have any experience with the AOSP camera from the AOSP ROMs? Are they better or worse than stock camera?

The camera is the only reason that makes me want to replace this phone. Especially that I am about to be a father, I am so excited and I want to take many pics of my kid lol
The battery life on the other hand is what really makes me want to keep it.
Can anyone try out Camera360 from the Play Store and post the results for low light and motion shots? (I don't have the phone yet)
Try the Focal camera. In my limited experience, it focuses quicker and seems a little more responsive.

I've tried pretty much every combination of roms and camera apps. My experiences are :
The LG camera app does better in most aspects regarding picture quality due to greatly superior image processing algorithms.
Aggressive sharpening, what in my opinion is a bit too long shutter speed and too long focus time makes it seem sluggish compared to an iPhone 5S. It takes more effort taking a good picture.
Additionally, things like panorama are useless at night. The viewfinder fps is horribly slow, making the camera ux feel really bad.
The aosp app is quicker at opening, but has less functionality. I can't understand anyone claiming the aosp camera taking better pictures at any time of day, the night photos are terribly dark.
It's easy to see that the closed source components of the LG camera software effortlessly blows the aosp drivers out of the water.

I've always been a fan of those quickshot camera apps. I have a son too so I just blast my camera at him for 8-10 shots a second and pick the best one.
Also you can try to lower the megapixel down. I'm not sure if this would make it faster but should. There are also steps you can do in the settings to provide quicker response times. I believe there is also some modifications that fix a few things for a better experience also.
I've heard that the camera is actually pretty good, but flawed because of bugs and timings not being fine tuned (possibly a kernel fix). I've not had much usage with my camera but it takes pretty good shots when I've needed it to. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, I don't see much difference.
In my opinion, its a quick camera. It is what it is.
You can also just record video and pull pics from it.
There are several options. I like the Burst shots myself, then just go back and delete the blurry ones.
