VSCO Cam - Now on the Play Store - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi guys, VSCO is now released for Android. It's a very popular and good iOS camera app. I've tested it a little in low-light conditions, and the result is positive. It takes better photos (in low-light conditions) than Sony's camera app. It's free, so go ahead and try it! You can also share your photos taken with it here, so we can see how well it does

It's over 21:00 (9 PM) here now, so that'll be impossible I'll do it tomorrow if I remember it, or maybe someone else can do it?
The filters are nice though. It's not Instagram type of filters, but more like "mood" filters. You can also adjust the filters, so if you like it soft you can do that or if you like it to be more instagram-ish, you can do that too.
What device are you currently using again?

Whaaat?! So.. you're literally living in 1996. I would've snapped a long time ago Just played some more with the app, and i found the import button. I played with some photos taken on a clear day with my Note, and dude, the results are great (when you have quality photos to begin with). I'll try to take some usable photos with the Ultra tomorrow and see if the app is still fun.

i like this vsco cam app it is really better than any cam app i used, this might prove to me that our camera quality problem might be a software issue

And don't forget to download the free filter packages (slide to left and go to the store). There are three free ones if i'm not mistaken.

Yup! Don't forget the other tools though. Tap the "arrow" when you're in the filter browser, and you'll be able to adjust everything. You have probably discovered it yourself, but it's kind of hard to find, so i thought i should mention it

does anyone know where the pics are stored? I would like it to default to my removable sd card.

yep. I bet they just used software to convert it to android... LOL

Indeed I tried it and that is annoying.
In any case, I am a photography fan and love my sony NEX-6 so the phone is not a camera for me. Still amazes me that Sony, that has been innovating so much (just came out with the first full equipped mirrorless Full Fram cameras), gives such a bad camera for the ULTRA phone.

This looks good

One of the unique features of VSCO Cam is its emphasis on a community of photographers and creatives. Users can follow other VSCO members, share their own photos, and discover new photographers and images through the app's curated collections and journals. VSCO Cam also offers a subscription service, VSCO Membership, which provides access to additional presets and tools, as well as exclusive content and educational resources.

Free TV app! Suck it Hulu!

So I just came across this nifty little app that apparently has on demand episodes of a very very large volume of shows. Little ad box at the bottom of the screen, but acceptable for just TV shows here and there.
WiFi recommended. Maybe if we had real 4G it wouldn't be necessary...
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv-shows-free/org.apps.PVRViewer
Oh how nice it would be to have HDMI mirroring.
This is actually pretty cool. It has Modern Family and Mad Men... I haven't looked any further but those videos played fine.

It appears I was able to pick this up in the small window that it was on the market...I'm currently trying to find a way to edit the default resolution of the app, as right now it is not taking advantage of the Atrix's increased resolution and it's not filling the bottom of the screen, anyone had any luck with this yet?

I'm more than happy to deodex my system, but theres no way to REodex just yet. It can potentially lead to update problems. I see no real benefit to deodexing. I don't really care for the reboot (although would be very nice), and ad's are usually outta the way.
The ad in this app doesn't interfere with watching the show, but it would if it was full screen...
Well after flashing the stock sbf and re rooting and using the market fix I can't find this app anymore... Wish I had saved it with titanium backup.. I know they just came out with the hd version that utilized way more of the screen if anyone has this app could you post it here? Maybe att is blocking this app? Might have to wait till I get to a wifi, switch air plane mode on, and see if it shows up. I can find the developer but not the tv shows free or tv shows free hd app... Any way to keep att from restricting what apps show on the market?

Screen capture app for Atrix *Updated 9/14*

Hey guys,
I wrote a screen capture app that works for my Atrix since I couldn't find one that worked that was on the market. Here is the first version so I am looking for suggestions/bugs/improvements, etc.
I've only tested it on the atrix because that is the only phone I have, but if you guys could test it on other phones and let me know if it works or not on them, then that would be great.
Edit: Finally posting a new version. *Should* address most of the issues/requests I've seen unless I forgot something. Still haven't had a chance to test on any other devices but it will actually display errors now so I can see why the devices are failing.
Version:
0.6 - Fixed some bugs, screenshots should show up right away in gallery now, added an option to shutdown the services after grabbing the screenshot.
0.8 - Fixed shake sensor bug, added option to invert colors to fix colors for some devices, and service should stay on after reboots.
0.85 - Fixes for some crash reports. Better support for other devices.
Also, I finally added the app to market for those who want to get automatic app updates. I'll still post newest versions here for those that prefer to download from xda.
Market link
update: I haven't had time to work on the app at all lately so if anybody wants the source to fix any bugs or improvements then you can get it from https://bitbucket.org/mindphaze/screen-grabber
props!!! thanks a lot bro
Works great
+1 thanks.
Works great. I would like to see an option for the output folder.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
so, what was the roadblock that was impeding capturing the screen with the actual programs? is it something tegra based? or was it something way easy? where did you find the information needed to make this?
Awesome app, and yeah, and output folder option would be awesome.
Nice app. After the app takes a screenshot, does it save to gallery b/c I can't find it for some reason.

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but when trying to read the framebuffer (/dev/graphics/fb0) directly I would get an error. Google provides /system/bin/fbread that grabs the framebuffer so it wasn't anything complicated to just call that to get the buffer.
Got the info from reading the tegra source code.
First bug I've ran into is it unexpecidently stopped running when I connected my phone to my computer in mass storage mode.

Executive Assistant App - Amazon FAOTD

Hey guys -- just downloaded the executive assistant app and its AWESOME.
$7 app for FREE? amazon store app rules

Yup! Same here. Install/uninstall.
Price of the app, like anything else, doesn't mean it's good quality or useful.
If you need an assistant to do what this app does, you already have a real one to go with your $30M a year salary!
Also, they were offering an app the other day for free, (forget which one), regular price $1.99 or something, and the same app was already free in the Market.

I guess I'm the only fan lol... I know that price of the app doesnt mean quality.. but this app reminds me of how LockInfo was set up (if you guys ever had an iPhone and had LockInfo you can appreciate the UI).
I have mines set-up as my lockscreen with all the info/RSS Feeds/Facebook set up on it so i dont have to launch anything.
I know there are a bunch of different widgets/apps already out there that can do this, but none could replicate or improve the look I wanted.... except this app.
to each his own!
I like it... I liked the lockscreen info app on the iphone... it does bug me that i have to hit home before swiping my finger 9 times out of 10, but it looks pretty good and it gives me info at a glance without actually getting into the phone if it isn't necessary.
I just like the fact that I can use it's widget to put notification on widgetlocker. and the icons are customisable as well so thats really great.

I totally understand what you are talking about. I used lock info as well on my jail broken iphone. It's kind of a replica of that. Looks beautiful also. I'm using this app as a replacement of widget locker for the moment. lets see how long it lays on my phone lol.

For me personally, i found the holy grail with this app, which is sadly not that impressive as i wish it was. My idol is the jailbreaked lockscreen and its copy in iOS5.

[Q] Where is Facebook Camera for Android?

I have been searching pretty much everywhere and couldn't find that Facebook Camera (Instagram wannabe) was on Android. Hence the parenthesis, I still want to try out the app. Anyone know anything?
Sent from my SPH-M920 using Tapatalk
I used to be installed, with the Facebook app from the play store. But many hated it, and they removed it from the app.
if you update your facebook app, it will automatically install it. Look in app drawer.
Actually those little icons were actually only shortcuts to Messenger or Camera, in which the camera here can directly take picture and upload them, without adding effects or other.
iOS has it, why shouldn't we?

Actually it does have effects. It's Facebook taking the better parts of Instagram and integrating it with their own features. I too was looking to see if it was on Android, but it's not. Doubt it will be anytime soon either.
I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but my new app does (nearly) everything Facebook Camera does: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797343

I suggest everyone tries this app!

I'm all about customizing my phone with random little apps. This one I found last night is called "Hello", and it is a very simple yet extremely elegant sms app. Everything is sorted in to tabs, and the coolest feature I've found so far is when you click on a picture that was sent to you through texts, it pulls up all the other pictures in that particular thread so you can quickly save them all instead of doing it one by one.
Just thought I would let you guys in on this little gem I found! Hope you guys give it shot!

my message+ app got sent to the freezer for conspiracy to slow my phone with all my other big red apps. They are now serving a 2year+ sentence with a $360 fine if they return earlier.
I like Hello, but it would send pictures as links to recipients instead of the actual pictures. I found that several people wouldn't open them. I is probably better to send them as links that people can click on and then view them, because they would come out in higher quality. But if people don't click on them, it defeats the purpose. I also didn't like how it put an advertisement for their app on each picture it sent links for.
