Hello Good People,
Can someone please help with this odd issue. When opening the Sony Camera.app it displays a small view finder instead of full screen. I have tried clearing cache and fixing permission but no success so far.
Interestingly if I access the camera from the lock screen it appears in full screen.
Other third party camera apps work correctly too.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have had this problem before...very long ago. I can't remember what caused this.
Are you on stock rom or any sony based custom rom?
My man SUPERUSER in the house!
I am on XSLIM v2.31 KK Rom
Thanks!

mmmm it brings back a slight memory that this is why I abandoned sony based roms because there was so many bugs especially this one.
And that I hated the sony ui. Now I miss the old sony ui. The silly piano lock screen..
Back then I flashed slimrom kitkat because this was the only aosp or cm based rom that didn't drain the battery when the screen was off.

I probably didn't do anything to solve this problem because no one else had this issue when I brought it up.
Thanks SUPERUSER!
I totally understand about the bugs, it’s a trade off for sure. By chance could you recommend a "better" camera.app than the default one provided by Sony?
Thank you!

I tried most of the camera apps out there a month ago..most of them are filled with crap features, ads, a splash screen or welcome screen on start..why would I want that and other things that doesn't belong in the app.
Its a camera app not facebook or whatever random features included in it.
The few I found to be somewhat worth keeping are:
Camera FV-5 Good app. You can crash the app if you're doing heavy work or fast pressing or swiping in menus. But its not filled with any crap or unnecessary features that no one asked for unrelated to the app being a camera.
CameraMX <-- this one has a welcome screen...and other crap included so you dont get right in to the camera on launch. To get to the camera on launch: Press menu and tick "Open camera on start".
But the app has a Time lapse video mode so its why I kept it for when I might use this feature.
OpenCamera is my classic go to. Its a straight forward camera app with no crap or ads.
You might have heard of Manual Camera app but its far from every device that works with the app. And it has many bugs.
There are some other simple apps that has no wow factor like Moto Camera or Google Camera that works fine too I used the Google camera in the past because it does exactly what it suppose to. Take a picture.
SUPERUSER,
As always I am sending a shout out Thank You!
I appreciate you taking the time to respond in such detail and clarity. At the end of the day I just want KISS camera (keep it super simple) open app and it takes a photo, period.
Thank you dear friend

Hello,
i wanted to ask if it is possible to mod the stock camera app somehow with the goal that flashlight would not be always on but flash one or two times before taking picture and of course when it is taking the picture. I mean some other camera apps like vignette can do it like this (but stock camera can take better photos), and this isnt draining battery that much as in stock camera.
So if other camera apps can do real "flashing" flashlight, it has to be possible to mod the stock camera app to get flashing flashlight when taking a photo..
What do you think?

M8 There is no way to do like you think
You just think about Xperia X10 .....
our x10 is start from android 1.6 to until now,,
no android version has camera flash light auto,.......
I don't know how to explain here but you can guess if think properly
Hi, I noticed some of the stock features built in the S3 are very laggy such as:
- On screen magnifying lens (attached screenshot) - laggy, zoomed text looks pixelated
- Contacts app starts up VERY slow, sometimes takes up to 5 seconds
- Gallery app is pretty slow also (when you first open it, either from the camera app or from the app drawer, it takes 2-3 seconds to start up each time)
- General scrolling lags for a split second quite often (eg scrolling through news feed on the facebook app, or zooming in text on a webpage then scrolling around while zoomed)
- Messaging app has a few seconds delay to start up also
I need any sort of advice, either 3rd party replacement apps or settings I can make to improve the user experience, anything at all really that will improve the issues mentioned above (Devoper-Animations have always been off).
I am currently running WanamLite ROM v6.2 (stripped even further) with another 10-15 apps such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Evernote, nothing pretty heavy. (tried different roms such as FoxHound 2.0 running 4.1.2, same issues, I also tried different ROMs based on android version 4.2 which had many other bugs, but the gallery was incredibly fast & smooth)
Many thanks.
Smart tools app has a pretty good magnifying glass built into it.

is this what you`re talking about ? because if so, I might have made myself misunderstood. I believe the magnifier glass built in the app is pretty much using the camera to zoom in then it focuses on whatever object you`re pointing the camera at.
I attached a picture as I should have done from the beginning. You can see which magnifier I`m talking about, and how pixelated the text looks.
it's just that no one wants to read your wall of text. explain your problem clearly in a couple of sentences

what?
There are a few themes now on themer that do a lot of clicking to go screen to screen but scrolling is still possible to go to the screens, so I would like to see an option now to disable scrolling for the home screens to make this more effective.
Unless it is already on the app then can someone show me how to do it?

Please @ThemerSupport could you do this
All the best

Sent from my RAZR I screen to your screen using a strange thing known as the world wide web
I'd like such a feature too. And it would be nice if there are more transition effects.
agree would be a great feature

This is a good suggestion, we'll definitely add it to our list!
I would just like to bump this back up, in the event that it was forgotten about...I would still like to see this feature sooner or later...
This is a cool feature :good:
we have been waiting a while for this one,and again to reiterate it is a needed feature

Sent an email to the developers again to see how easy it will be to implement. Features like this sound easy to implement, but in reality it might take a week straight to get right, and in that time the developers could be fixing a ton of bugs and adding in performance improvements. We'll keep you informed though!

yeah I appreciate what you are saying
have any of you watched the classic shaweshank redemption ? where he constantly sends letters in order to get equipment ? don't make this my shaweshank redemption :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I hope this isnt in the wrong place. Long story short, One+ One system leaked, Camera and Gallery are awesome, they work on other Rom's.
Problem is in the Gallery app, pictures taken in Portrait mode are displayed in Landscape. Is this just the way its gonna be or can the app be modified to be fixed? Donation will be given if it can be.

this seems interesting. i'll look at it
Thanks!
Bump.
Never mind. SOLVED! mods please close.
i have used themer for a week on my m8, but no matter what theme i set, there seems to be considerable lag when i am swithing between the menu and home screen. Also is the case if i close any app and go back to the menu, the launcher takes at least 3-4 secs to load... this is very annoying. I have also noticed that themer stays in the background and when i close it from the recent apps, it lags and reloads... i have switched back to sense since this is very annoying... Such beautiful themes out there, and i simply cant get em to work with fluidity...
BTW i have enough ram and i have rebooted my device as well, but nothing has worked. If devs can sort this out, it will be a brilliant launcher...
No reply.. I'm glad I uninstalled this app... Buzz Is way better in terms of support

Hi kartoonz,
Sorry for the delay, we understand that there is some lag, so here is a quick fix:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder.
3. Reinstall Themer.
Also take note that a large update is coming this week which should also fix any lag issues.

Marco,
I actually tried themer on my m7, and every time I hit the home button it would blank the screen and sit on a loading wheel for a second or two, then go to the home screen. I do a lot of multi-tasking and bouncing around, so this led me to uninstall the app within the first day. I was rather bothered too because Themer is really awesome, and there are so many great looking "instant themes" that someone who's as fickle as me about how my phone looks really needs to have that kind of thing.
Can you speak to the lag/delay I got and if it was/will be fixed?

As Themer is still in beta, issues like lag are the hardest to fix. The way that Themer is designed, which is completely different to say Nova or Apex, means that our team often faces hurdles that no other launcher faces. Every update comes with new fixes, however we still need a few more weeks to iron out the lag.
That method I mentioned earlier is the best known fix to help with the lag, but hopefully soon there will be many more speed improvements. Sorry about that.

Followed the steps and now I can say that there's a 1 second delay when I press home sometimes.. I'd say so far about 10 percent of the time, which is monumentally better than it was. This means to me it's usable enough to enjoy your themes, so good work. I"m eager to see you make it even better. I wouldn't say you're finished the lag improvements but they're VERY significantly improved and I'll keep using themer while I watch to see what happens next
