JB 4.1.2 Camera App - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking forward to buying a camera app called Camera Zoom FX (which looks really attractive by the way) , but I saw a lot of free one's and there are several mods here also so I would like to take an opinion, is it worth it? Or is there some other app free or even better than that?
Note: I actually like the several extra features given, especially "Burst Shot".

Hmm no replies so I guess not many people tried this, well fear not I am using it now and it makes the stock camera app look ugly, the burst shot, stable shot modes are amazing and it has a super zoom feature control. Fully recommended. :thumbup:

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.

Adjust brightness by a swipe of your finger on ICS

Nice app called Display Brightness. Posting this so people will stop starting threads asking how they can do this on ICS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
i'd thank ya but ya had to be a wise guy about it.
tx --- art.

After trying this app today i can readily say it's terrible compared to the stock feature in GB.

I like it enough to put it on all my phones. I got bettter battery life because I could easily manage the screen brightness.
People if you use a free app think about making a donation. The link is on the settings.

If you actually take the time to configure it the app is very nice. For example, set location to top, make bar wide, make fully transparent...and it operates very much like the stock with more features.
work great

I find Invisibright Pro to be much less intrusive.

[Q] video app with similar stock features?

I want to put an AOKP rom on my phone but there are a few little things I like about the stock Samsung Android apps. For one I like the smart alarms on the Samsung clock app but I've got that covered. I also like the video app that gives you a button to rotate the screen even if you have auto rotate off which I usually do. Is there an app that anyone knows of on the marketplace that can do this like stock?

Yeah I noticed it after I posted it but figured it would pretty much be the same for either phone considering it's an app alternative so I didn't bother switching it over lol.

Hey guys,
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.

Lightning Launcher recommendation

I haven't seen anyone talk about this launcher, but it is awesome. Yes, you have to pay for it, but with the amount of customizations available it's well worth it. I know I'm a newb around here, and this post may not be taken seriously, but I thought I'd try to get a great dev paid to keep up such great work. Best feature that I've been looking for for over a year is being able to put widgets inside a folder on your home screen.
And that's my 2 cents. Please don't be too harsh, remember I'm a newb around here.

Be easy on the noob, but this should be in the Themes and Apps section of the forum. Hopefully a mod moves it.
But back to the launcher, looks cool but I prefer TouchWiz, I'm one of those

Now I looked on the playstore and assume your talking about the "lightning launcher extreme" cause that is the one that cost . correct?

This is the "Tasker" of launchers. It's incredibly powerful & customizable. Just a bit of a learning curve. But much like with Tasker, once you do a few things, the rest gets a lot easier to figure out.
I actually got frustrated the first time I tried the free Lightning Launcher. And gave up on it the first day.
Read your thread and got the ambition to try it out again.
Really glad I did.
Nova Prime has been outstanding for me, but I was missing some customization options and Nova Prime developer team has not responded to my inquiries. So I'm going to double-down and watch a couple Lightning Launcher videos and figure it out.
I really, really like that it lets you have multiple home screen/profile setups. So if I'm right, I can pull up a different homescreen setup for each Tasker profile I have set up.
Also, there are profile/themes you can download from Play Store that give you some pre-arranged fancy-ass customization. Just to get you started.
Tsf shell is the best launcher I've found.

Lightning launcher is amazing. When I first came across it I was completely lost. Once you get the hang of it...I haven't used another launcher since. Plus the developer is constantly updating it. Great app well worth the money guys

Sounds intriguing. Can you explain briefly the benefit of having widgets in folders on homescreen? Thx.

Fewer button presses to get information in the face.

Here is one of my folders. Sucks that XDA widget isn't offered with a dark theme.
Keep in mind that widgets slow down folder performance by a tiny bit.

I have tried lightning launcher and will say that it was one of the most horrid launchers on the market....using the s4 the only launcher I can say is pretty decent is nova prime and solo launcher....both are perfect launchers with no glitches and tons of customizations and themes

Google Experience Launcher is perfect for me. Not overly done like most launchers. The drawer is super clean with larger detailed icons and has Google Now integrated into the home screen...

Not for the faint of heart...
I love Lightning Launcher and can't say I did the first 5 times I tried it. At first, it is very intimidating for those that are used to the normal/simple way of laying out your homescreen/desktop. I have tried pretty much every launcher out there and love the benefits everyone provides, but have to admit, they are all essentially the same ole desktop, offering nothing truly innovative.
If you want to see the power of LLX, are worried about bugs and improvements, check the Google plus community: https://plus.google.com/115359051724948606262/
Again, this is only for those experienced enough that want something absolutely unique. If you are content with basic folders, simply swiping left/right and having the normal desktop setup this wont be for you. If you actually want freedom to make your desktop look the way you want, give LL a try.

I haven't had any problems with it at all. The customization is still amazing, and everyone in the g+ forum is nice and helpful.
