It took me a lot of time to test the app with lots of GoPros, code it, etc... Please hit "thanks" and buy me a beer!1!1!11!!!
Enjoy your new GoPro xperience!

Cam control... Rookie aboard
SJCAM SJ5000 Support will be nice
Wow, thanks a lot for sharing! We'll try it (very) soon
I would love if Sony Action Cams would be added.
Thanks
This is so convenient. I'll try it out as soon as I get my camera.
I have a camara now I need a android wear devicewichoneyou guys recomend?
Nice works! Thanks dude!
hello, great app (just by describe) but is possible install it in Huawei Watch W1 but with iPhone? I installed google maps, and loyalty codes but dont know if also this will work.
thank you
Jozef
Need something like this for SJCAM's too......
will there be a future development for SJCam?
I tried the Yi Action Camera with your suggestion, but it did not work. It did flash a message saying "camera on 02:00:00:00:00" "192.168.42.6" then it the message said "password:"
any tips would be greatly appreciated
Looks very good
Looks pretty good, anyone use this camera? How is the image qualiy?

fxcamera and camera 360. i personally prefer fxcamera.
is vignette still a great choise or not? I want a camera app that has some stabilisation functionaly (to try take sharper photos in the dark for example, when it takes a longer time), but I want to make sure it's a good choise before I pay for the app.
Or are there any other recommendations meanwhile?

I'd have to say Camera 360 is nice.
camera 360 wouldn't open on my wildfire (also not compatible through market). Vignette seemed to make worse photos than the standard CM7 app and takes like 20 seconds after each photo until it is finished :s Even on 5MP en superfine quality. So I guess I better keep using the standard app (even though it looks like ****), at least that can film too
i can't find any of these on the market!
i just tried to look for fxcamera and camera 360 but it was a complete fail.
Hey guys, take a look at this camera app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=552445&d=1301144618
well guys finally i made "camera 360" usable with wildfire...its still in its beta stages....little bit of bugs are there....like Geo tagging is not working...and few of its advanced featured had been disabled by me due to the lack of a powerful arm7 processor n gpu ...but auto focus..manual focus and full quality 5.1 mp super fine images have been enabled....its actually better than the stock htc camera...its bit laggy while processing the images...but that wont effect....you can click while its processing the image in background...100% uncompressed image has been enabled...you can take the best quality pics that can is possible by the camera...njoy...
please uninstall mimu camera before installing this...its uses the same lib n frame files...may cause force shutdown if used together
do give feedback....i wanna know the bugs that you are facing....
A few people have asked me which camera based apps work well with this camera. So I thought I would share some findings here.
Essentially any Android app that makes use of a phone's camera will work with the Galaxy Camera, ie will allow access to the camera module and take the picture. The compatibility issues to be wary of are interface issues. This I find is either an app that only allows portrait mode, an app that uses an on screen slider for zooming (the zoom button on the camera controls the volume level in the app), an app that keeps the lens extended making the camera awkward to hold whilst using the editing features within the app and finally some storage location issues.
The following camera and editing apps are the ones I have tested so far:
HDR Camera+
Takes the picture with the shutter button or a screen tap and applies colour processing as desired, but uses an on screen zoom slider which zooms correctly but is awkward to use when holding the camera.
Camera Zoom FX
As above. The horizon level and shake detection work as designed too. However the camera shutter button sometimes takes the picture at the halfway point. Because of the weight of the camera and slightly awkward positioning of the on screen controls, I found myself accidently taking pictures.
Lapse it Pro
Again uses an on screen zoom but otherwise works as expected.
Pics Play Pro editor
An excellent editor but sadly only works in portrait mode. Does not have its own camera, will ask you to choose including the default camera.
Instagram
Comes pre-installed but interface only shows portrait mode, you can take a shot in landscape but the interface doesn't rotate with the viewfinder. I believe this is the same when used on a phone.
PicSay Pro
This is probably the best photo editor out there, it works in landscape mode but the feature that's missing oddly is a capture function. Why this is missing is beyond me. So you will have to take a picture normally then open it up in the app.
I would be quite happy to try out any other camera specific apps if anyone wants me to and will add to my list.

Can you please try from play google com

And one more question - can any of photo applications control Optical Zoom by its on-screen-slider (not by hardware buttons)? Or only built-in?
Can you get any app to record slow motion video ( or does it work only in samsung's app ) ?
And maybe little OT: if you could please check little of USB OTG functionality ?
I can confirm that, on a rooted SGC, the OTG works, if Stick Mount is installed. I didn't try it without Stick Mount installed.
The default file manager opens automatically, I switched to the USB drive and could read all contents and open images using default Gallery.
---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------
The paid for Pro Capture Camera + Panarama app works with the Zoom button, albeit in a less smooth fashion than the default camera app. It doesn't automatically display the volume slider on the display, as most other camera apps from Play. I'll be checking this app out further so will let you know if there's anything else significant.

Paper Camera (paid)
Lets you apply some quirky effects to pictures and movies. Zoom does work in about 3 or 4 stages though (emailed devs, they're looking into it).
IP WebCam
Get to use your cam as a very high resolution IP webcam. Produces some very nice video. More for fiddling around than any serious purpose
The best panorama app in my opinion is ProCapture. You guys should definitely try it out. It produces some amazing hires shots and the algorithm seems very smart.
For HDR, IMO nothing beats HDR Camera+ with 'Pure' setting and noise reduction set to None.

Click to expand...

Firstly the on-screen zoom slider does operate the optical zoom in these apps, it's not a digital zoom
Camera FV5 Lite
As far as I can tell this is working as designed, there are a lot of features in the app but as they are processing options they should work fine. Zooming once again isn't available on the hardware button.
LG Camera
The on screen button that has a flower icon... not sure what this is supposed to do, but all that happens when you tap it, is the whole screen turns white. It restores when tapping again. Auto flash is selectable when flash is raised but you cannot turn it off. Lowering the flash light will allow you to select off, but obviously it won't fire anyway in the lowered position.
Camera X Free
This has compatibility problems due to the screen size/resolution. Some of the icons merge together, are not selectable as touching them causes a picture to be taken. Adverts cover top part of screen and saved shots don't seem to appear in the gallery. I would give this a wide berth for now.
My conclusion, is that the camera's own set of utilities and effects are far better than any of these third party camera apps.
I use HDR Camera+ as it's more customisable than the built in Rich Colours setting. I use Camera Zoom FX for the props and frame overlays etc, all other apps I have tried so far I deleted as they just don't add any real value to the camera's own settings.

Hi,
I'm trying the recommended apps on my GC.
However, I'd like to have some other Camera features:
- 3D still photo (don't say it's impossible with a one-lens camera, Samsung WB850F smart camera can do it with a similar(or same ?) lens of Galaxy Camera)
- 3D panorama (this is another great feature of Samsung WB850F - captures panorama with 3D feature)
- Action panorama (this is another great feature of Samsung WB850F - captures panorama and a moving object on the still background)
Are there any 3rd party apps which could do these 3 features ?
thx.

no ideas ?
I've tried the following apps on Galaxy camera. Some of them are really useful apps. Some of them are not working, crashing.
HD Panorama+
Nice app for panorama photos.
Camera 3D
Manual 3D photo app. There are tons of this kind of 3D photo apps. This one is pretty good.
3D Photo Cam
The description of this app is tempting but it crashed on my Galaxy Camera. HAs anyone tried it successfully ?
FaceinHole
Great app for face in hole scenarios.
PIP Camera
Great PIP scenarios. Really nice.
Twin Me!
Crashed on my Galaxy Camera. But it seems to have uniq features like having 2 times same object in the photo on same background.
Does anyone have any idea why it crashes ?
MotionGraph
Nice one to have only some part of the photo moving.
Why do we have so many apps crashing ? (if they also crash on your GC)

I don't believe so, kept alive by yourself, thanks!
I have become frustrated at the amount of camera apps that only allow portrait view in both interface and on taking pictures. I guess this is down to the damn iPhone mentality again!
I have tended to just use what Samsung has provided and use some decent editing software (where necessary)
Another nice camera & gallery app for GC100 :

Buy one of the devices mentioned above ... Or develop it somehow to work on your device. I am not a developer or someone trying to "fake" knowing enough to answer that question for you. I honestly like the Google camera app and provided a link for others who feel as I do... I mentioned in the OP that I can only confirm personal experiences... I specifically wrote that because I cannot support things I do know understand myself. I'm sorry if that came off harsh.. but it's just brutal honesty.

If that was ported apk then I would understand the need to post it but since this is just download from Android O you can get this from 100s of other websites. So taking it from ApkMirror and posting it here makes no sense since nothing was done with the app. If you show me how well HDR+, Smartburst and 120fps work on your totally different Oneplus3t you would be the first with these features working. When you say that EVERY FEATURE is available think twice before posting.

Guys, just seconds ago, I found, that there's the (from what I guess) new photo pro app from xperia 1 III is available here apkmirror.com
I tried to install and it worked!
Not able to take a screenshot as it's forbidden by system (not really necessary, sony). It has the new basic mode, that was shown on press release.
What are the differences with the mark II version? Difference in image quality or options?
From my guess, what sony is going to archive in future models, is to combine the normal and the pro-app, so there would be no need to develop and maintain two different apps - that saves money for them.
The linked app is already combined, some settings are slightly different insinde the pro-modes. You can switch to effects from basic-mode. I'm going to try to abandon the normal app and see, if the new one misses anything.
Thanks for posting that. I've tried it and it's great except that I normally open photo Pro in manual mode but this new app defaults to the basic camera app so you then have to change it to the camera pro app yourself. A small thing but just one more step that we didn't have previously when the two were separate apps. I see no setting to change how it opens by default so if anyone else does...
On a positive note, I may be imagining a slight thing but I think quality has maybe improved fractionally. To be specific, everyone has raved about this phone taking RAW files that you can develop yourself ( even though I think most flagship phones do now ) but I have always found that indoor shots with this phone in RAW always require a tripod which means you are just as well getting your real camera out. The ISO has to be low otherwise there is so much noise that even tools in lightroom struggle to fix it. But I think I see less noise now in handheld shutter speeds in low light.
But thanks to OP for spotting this app & bringing it to our attention.
BTW, how does anyone know this is the app from Xperia 1 iii when it's not released yet? Is there information on Sony website?
Many thanks.

I always open the Pro app with a push on the camera button. The new Pro app can be configured to open in Pro mode when pressing the camera button, so it works great for me.
Thanks very much. Ye, I saw you can choose the default in new settings too. I'm enjoying the new app.
Good find. Works well on the Xperia 5II as well.

The is a setting for "Open in last mode used". Since I always use the Pro Mode that works for me.
After installing the APK, can't choose the photo pro as option with camera key.
What I need to do to choose the photo pro as default?
Had to remap power button gesture to use the photo pro app. Camera button does not have photo pro option after installing this APK

That's what I've done too, with button mapper app. Howerver, it does not work when screen is off for my non rooted device. Don't forget to set photopro bypass in button mapper when photopro is active.
Tap tap app is also an interesting option.
For now I removed the update and reverted to the original Pro app.

From my guess, what sony is going to archive in future models, is to combine the normal and the pro-app, so there would be no need to develop and maintain two different apps - that saves money for them.
The linked app is already combined, some settings are slightly different insinde the pro-modes. You can switch to effects from basic-mode. I'm going to try to abandon the normal app and see, if the new one misses anything.

So the old PRO app was not able to be used wiht the front camera, right?
Is there a way how to downgrade to original Photo Pro w/o root? I fear the answer is no.
It seems this upgrade broke eye AF at least on 70mm camera. All pictures of my wife and daughter focused on eye are out of focus. . Also manual object tracking seems not to work at all.

Yes, it's easy. Go to settings, apps. Find the Photo Pro app in the list, click on it. From the menu, choose "remove updates". That's it.

I really hope that Sony will provide the new photo pro app on our device with the Android 12 update...

If you want to open the new (Xperia 1/5 III) PhotoPro app with the camera button, even from locked screen, you can check my simple method here (since it's the same for Xperia 5II): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/updated-camera-pro-app.4283199/post-85866439

Unfortunately, on our device Xperia 1II, this new photopro app tends to take photos out of focus...
