On the note 3's gallery app there was an excellent exif viewer built in. On the note 4 the details option shows very little info. Can anyone recommend a good simple app for viewing photo info like shutter speed and iso?

So, is it just me or do I find the stock gallery app very sluggish and horrible in viewing pics. It's very slow,lags a lot and jumpy when you zoom in and out. I hate to say this,but compared to the iphone's picture viewer, the atrix's gallery app is years behind. Even my work Bb bold 9650 has a better picture viewer. Does anybody know an app that can replace the gallery on this phone, something that performs smoothly n cleanly?
Also, I find the pics I take really inferior to any other phones I used, even those that are of the same MP. I find the pics very grainy and not sharp, and the colors are a bit off. Is this software related within the phone or hardware? If software, any apps out there I can use to take pics?
Thank you for any suggestions.

YES, YES, AND YES! I know exactly what you mean. The zooming and all was just TERRIBLE. I can't even believe they let the phone pass with a gallery as sh1tty as that one! Anyways, I used the Gallery 3D app straight off the Nexus. It works great. (attachment down below. Make sure you have non-market apps enabled with super one click)
Yeah the camera app and the stupid gallery is horrible. They have the same **** gallery on the droidX and presumably the other ones.
The stock 3D gallery is better, but doesn't function 100%. Very small things are off like the pictures will be out of order for some reason.
Also, reviewing the pictures from the camera app will just dump you into a jumbled field of images if you use the 3d gallery. For previewing from the camera app, you still gotta use the stupid Moto gallery if you wanna have a chance of finding your picture...
I tried to install the captivate camera app. no luck... :-( This frikin atrix doesn't even have touch to focus. Don't know what they were thinking.
i use " just picture " i like it
pretty snappy
Oh man the gallery 3d is sooooo much much better than blur's stock gallery app. Downloaded it from the market n it flies so fast in this phone. But yeah still gagging the issue where when viewing camera roll using it jumbles all the pics together regardless of date or folder.
Alright so all we need now is to find a good free app for the camera. Can't we use the stock nexus camera just like we use the stock nexus gallery? Isn't nexus's apps are basically just plain vanilla Android app which should work on any Android phone that is rooted? V

I personally use Quick Pic in Market. Fastest Gallery app. Period. It's a shame it can't be used to view from the camera.

Oh, this one is good too, although not as snappy as fluid as the gallery 3D. However, the pictures seems to come out more vivid and sharper, with smoother color gradients compared to Gallery 3D. I like both
We still need a camera app. Oh, wait, try vignette on the market. They have a free one that's limited function but this camera app works with gallery 3D very well.
I use camera 360
its decent and give me enough controls over the stock camera

Are you able to save edits to pictures taken from Camera360? I can take the pics just fine but if I go in to the gallery (using gallery3d from the app store) and edit them I'm unable to save the edits. I can edit/save pics from the default camera app just fine.

this app is great!!
the best camera app I thought was im the captivate as it had anti-shake. I cant figure out how to get it to install on the Atrix though.
So when I view my taken pictures via the camera app (rather than the gallery app) I can zoom in further and the quality is actually better (more pixels). Sometimes when I want to, like, read something in a photo I have to zoom in quite a bit, but then because of this I have to view the photos within the camera app which I wouldn't prefer. So is this a changeable setting or just the way the apps are designed?
I did not even notice you are right. Just installed QuickPic zooms in more looks great.

Hi all, I'm new here and to the android world,
I have a Q:
I am coming from the graphic design and Photoshop and I knew few things about camera and image processing and after looking in the camera app on android I cant find good app that can just take a pic without processing! (sharpening, noise redaction, etc)
I wonder why no 1 made such app that gives the user option to take the natural photo prom the sensor without the stupid image processing algorithm!
I want the natural photo and edit it later in pro software (Photoshop)
Is the app like this?
I'm not sure if it processes images by default as it has effects that can be manually applied in post photography which might mean it takes pictures unprocessed, but I use a replacement camera app called camera zoom fx and it takes much better pics than my phones default camera app so it might be an option to try.
It also has more pre photograph options and modes such as burst and timelapse modes and more ways to control how the picture is taken such as metering controls.
Its not free but there may be a trial version. I bought it when android market had a sale offer on its top apps but its worth even normal full price.

Actually, I like the idea of RAW image format for Android camera. Is it possible?
There are a handful of great camera apps, some free, some not. I like to use Nemus camera, Camera effects ,and Fast burst, these are all free apps. The first two have some cool effect on them and the last app lets you take 30 shots per second.There is one called Camera Zoom FX that is 2 or 3 bucks. I haven't used it but I have read good things about it. Hope that helps.
If you are talking about app that takes no time and provide good quality selfie or pic. I recommend Camera 365 Beauty app...
I was an iphone 5 user and made the switch over to the Note 2 recently. One thing I miss is this app called Simply HDR. It's a faux HDR that added some neat effects. I'm no photographer at all so I don't understand your basic photo settings which is why simply HDR was great because you could just choose a pre set and be done.
Does anyone know of an app that does pretty much the same thing, maybe one that I missed?
I have tried pretty much all apps i come across and the only one that comes close is HDR fx. Downside is it is way over done and the photos look over processed and terrible. There is also very few pre sets that create the desired effect.
Have you tried

So far ive tried a lot of different apps. I like the best 'Fotor' and 'Camerace'. The best photo editor is either PicsArt or Aviary.

I purchased the following apps and have had great success with them.
You can see some photos taken with Pro HDR Camera on my Flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
Pro HDR Camera
HDR FX Pro (Have to play with the settings quite a bit to get the desired effect)
Perfectly Clear (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX)
Pixlr Express (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX and useful for resizing images)
You may also want to take a look at Vignette Camera and Camera FV-5. In my opinion, Camera FV-5 gives you the most control over the settings and pics.
Hope this helps

Hey im back... you can continue with life =)
Unfortuantely the only app that gets close to what im looking to accomplish was photo fx but it was way over processed looking. Ive got to spend time tinkering.
I got an email from the guys at Simplyhdr/JixPix and they plan in releasing simply HDR on android soon hopefully. Its not a natural hdr which most if the apps here seem to be doing actualy hdr function...taking multiple photos and stitching them together. Simlly hdr takes one and creates an hdr effect that seems more dramatic. Hard to explain.
try this...

do you have a sample pic of what you're trying to accomplish?
Just use a camera ... I mean if you are that picky about HDR settings on a cellphone..
If your not on touchwiz.. "which most of us arent lol" this is an awesome camera replacement.. and I think its even better than the stock camera even if you are on TW.. I figured id post this for everyone to easily find..
Lenovo's Super Camera consists of two applications: SNAPit Camera and the SEEit Gallery, both of which are installed through a single file:
Super Camera Download Link:
https://db.tt/rZH7pkWq
Using the Super Camera:
In the viewfinder, you'll find icons for camera settings, effects, flash, switch camera, shutter, and camera type. You'll also see several indicators, notifying you if whether or not specific settings are enabled.
Zooming in keeps with the style of most other camera applications, with a pinch-to-zoom feature for up to 4.1x
Shooting Modes:
To access the different shooting modes, tap on the circle icon with a triangle in the middle, which will bring down a scrollable side menu consisting of:
Panorama - captures elongated fields of view
HDR - reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity
Low Light - better looking pictures in low light/nighttime
PIP - picture in picture
Burst - hold down the shutter to take many pictures quickly (freezes, might not work for you)
Speech picture - lets you save 9 second of audio with any picture
Night portrait - takes better portrait pictures in low light
Beautify - softens facial features, making you "prettier"
Self-timed - automatically takes picture when it recognizes a human face
Smile - takes picture when it recognizes a smile
Macro - takes better close up pictures
Timed picture - timer for 3, 5 and 10 seconds
Self-timed seeks out human faces and when it recognizes one, it takes a picture. The feature worked extremely well, recognizing faces in split seconds.
Macro is another feature that works exceptionally well. The camera takes very detailed close ups
Effects:
In Effects (small icon with wand and stars), you'll find three different types: Lens, Magic and Color.
SEEit Gallery:
In the gallery you'll find Photo and Album, with the former segregating pictures by timestamp into building blocks of various sizes and the latter showing your photos by album.
After selecting a picture, you can cut, rotate, share, or edit it by adding filters after-the-fact, as well as applying "beautify" and adding circular or line blurs to the photo.
Tapping on the pinwheel in the upper right hand corner will let you access the following:
Lenono SNAPit - camera
Facial Effects - beautify by messing with facial features
GIF - create GIFS
Puzzle - create collage
Settings:
Options such as resolution, image quality and save location (external or internal memory).
Advanced settings include white balance, stroscopic (auto, 50Hz, 60Hz), touch control shot, light metering, camera animations, volume key selection, and focus mode.

Really? I'm running the same kernel, what kind of problem is the stock camera giving you?
It keeps force closing. I'm in MiniN3, which is super debloated. Dev recommends stock kernel, but I was trying to see if I could get away with using freeza's kernel. Camera had been my only issue.

Ah, non-stock kernels are very tempting aren't they? Snapit is a wonderful alternative to the stock camera, I hope you can get just as much enjoyment out of it. I've been having a good time trying out all its features. Many thanks to voredroid of course!
Got it! Thanks this camera is great and hasn't FC at all. I greatly appreciate having the alternative and the options are nice and numerous.
