Have a look at the forums.androidcentral.com website and you will find all the instructions there with screenshots. I would add the exact page here but I was not allowed as this is my 1st post.

I did it before and all went fine.

[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
The CAMERAPRO app is what i'm using on our OB,

Some of Main features are,

1) Mute on Focus and also on click.

2) Easy to focus by just moving finger not like stock press and hold for focus.

3) Can use volume up down keys for focus and then shoot.

4) In stock camera app if we increase exposure photos come out white but in this app if we increase exposure pics come out bright.

5) Many focus modes, effects.

6) Exactly suitable for OB's camera hardware.

7) Also good video recording.

8) Pictures have more details than Stock camera app.

Here is the link to play store, please do visit once for better camera experience,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tequnique.camerax&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZXF1bmlxdWUuY2FtZXJheCJd

If you search on net you will get it for free(ipmart,approb) but if you like it then buy it to help developer.

Our friend Totaison Provided this info:

I have tried a lot of camera apps: Camera360, LittlePhoto, Pixlr-O-Matic, Camera ICS, Mytubo, Streamzoo, Camera Zoom FX, Instagram...

Each app has its different features. I will make a short analysis of some of the best among them.

LittlePhoto: It is a good application. Makes full resolution photos from the camera and allows you to overlay many different filters in the same picture.

Camera360: Great app. Many different filters and easy to use.

Pixlr-O-Matic: Wow. This app is absolutely essential. Apply effects in three sections: Filters, Effects of light and Borders. Very simple and intuitive.

Instagram: The more social app. A large social network of photography. Its use is very intuitive and has the best HDR I've seen in Android. Limited to square format, the resolution of the pictures is not very high and has not Tilt Shift yet.

Cymera: Best app by far. Using this app is extremely fast and intuitive, and has a very elegant interface. It lets you apply effects, crop the image, adjust brightness and contrast, is almost a pocket photoshop. Tilt Shift ago. And again, apply the filters very very fast. The only "but" is that it can not save the images at full resolution of the camera.
[LG Optimus Black] beytobeyto:
good but ı haven't credit card:(
[LG Optimus Black] franklynlaw:
I found ucam better
[LG Optimus Black] eminent1410:
I like camera360 and vignette
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
I also have camera360 camera zoom fx but this is more like stock camera app replacement.. meant for capturing high quality photos just like stock camera app.. if u dont want to purchase and try it first then search approb.com with camerapro word
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
Thanks :)

I didnt know about hold focus :P
[LG Optimus Black] LordGiotto:
It doesn't support 720p very well.

I still prefer stock camera app :)

[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Try Cymera. It's really good.
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
For me the best camera app is an icon shortcut that takes me immediately to 720p videorecording. Anyone?
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
Just goto settings and open advanced video mode u will get all the option 720p recording also.

Btw i'm not here to defend this app:p i just shared bcos i find it lot more useful than stock app..
[LG Optimus Black] LordGiotto:
I've tried to set manually 1280x720 and it doesn't work: can you tell me which codec option did you set?

However thank you for shared this app: this is the most complete thirth part camera app i've ever tried :) I still prefer stock LG camera app, it's only my opinion :P

By the way I can suggest you to try also HDRcamera+ for hdr photo taking, i love that app ;)
[LG Optimus Black] totaison:
I think the best is... Cymera.

[LG Optimus Black] Redblack:
you checked hdr camera plus?

my P970:

View attachment 1024530
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
Good photo mate:) i use this app for hdr effects but not in day to day photos, but yes its good app for HDR photos..
[LG Optimus Black] LordGiotto:
Difference between HDRCamera+ and HDR Camera Plus? Have someone tried both?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
i used most of the camera apps and always come back to the stock app.

because i find the options useful and also the quality better. (except for HDR pics. i use HDR+).

u *can* increase the quality of the stock camera at your will.

take build.prop and add:

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

take media.xml (/system/etc) and change the values to get the desired result.

take a look at some of my pics. they are "Stock" camera pics.
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
Thanks for sharing mate:) the tweaks u said will help many people here..
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
No both apps are same
[LG Optimus Black] LordGiotto:
And what about post editing? I use picsay pro, but if u know more complete app I'm interested in alternatives.

Here an example of hdrcamera+ and picsaypro combo ;)

[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
I use all these apps but for FX photo editor and touchup pro for post editing..
[LG Optimus Black] mbting:
One feature I love about stock camera is the manual focus. That's one feature I always wanted on a smartphone camera.

I miss that on other apps, especially on non-stock roms. any suggestions?

and the video auto focus too
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
In camerapro app you will get all this with even more easy way to focus just slide your finger.. in video also it has options like single focus continuous focus in stock you get only continuous focus in video recording.
[LG Optimus Black] mbting:
tried it on zeus 6 and.....

it was pretty good. video auto focus actually worked but audio started recording around 3 minutes into the video, strange :confused: and the sound was kinda like distorted.

and the image manual focus was not what i wanted but nice.

and the app keeps of FC on [GB]MIUI 2.1a rom... probably rom problem
[LG Optimus Black] stanna:
nice 1
[LG Optimus Black] adddiiikk:
i noticed my screen is darker when using 3rd party camera apps as compared to the stock camera. is that normal?
[LG Optimus Black] xdacuc:
I am also using zeus rom and I was searching for a replacement camera app. I guess the only reason was to get full res shots, otherwise the stock app has almost everything.

Tried camerapro but I don't get along with the focusing style, I want to get quick shots, not to have to touch the screen twice (1 to focus, 1 to shoot). Also it doesn't have the panorama mode, which is present in the stock app and it's really cool. However, there is no time lapse in the stock app, which would be nice.

Basically, is there a replacement camera app which ticks all the check-boxes, is fast and reliable, shoots full res, etc?

Edit: I forgot to ask, is there a way to change the settings in the stock camera app so that it remembers what you modified? Like I want the flash to be disabled by default, and only enable it when I need it. It always goes back to auto :(
[LG Optimus Black] wogz143:
WOW!... I love the quality. so I will just edit the "media.xml" ? And where can I find the "build.prop" I really like to have that kind of quality... Sorry, i'm a noob at exploring the system files...
[LG Optimus Black] t0g3:
/system/build.prop
[LG Optimus Black] slowy77:
i love lge camera, try urself, its too easy and almost all features of stock camera
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
I'm using Fast Burst Camera because it's capable of taking 30 photos per second, and now i'm able to have a good focus to photos to my child :)

[LG Optimus Black] ejcleunamme:
I mostly use the Stock Camera app because it has a lot of options and I love the autofocus options but I found another nice camera app in the market It's called "Little Photo", it's free and it has a lot of Effects options and its easy to use. I use it whenever I wanna edit photos and add efects to them. I suggest you guys try it.
[LG Optimus Black] freevlee:
Little help needed

Can you please elaborate a little on where is build prop located? And do I change values in both build.prop and media.xml?

Many Thanks

Open sytem/build.prop for edit and append that lines to bottom, save and restart. Zeus has them and I only changed jpeg quality 90 to 100.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Khizar:
Samsung has published a list detailing which carrier variants of its phones and tablets will be blessed with Android Ice Cream Sandwich. While Sprint's Nexus S 4G is already enjoying the latest Android OS, the update will also arrive on the Now Network's Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch. From Verizon, both the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 7.7 will get the upgrade, accompanied by the WiFi variants of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and the Galaxy Tab 8.9.

On AT&T, ICS is confirmed for its Galaxy S II, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy Note, Captivate Glide, Nexus S and Galaxy Tab 8.9. T-Mobile customers, however, lack a similarly breathless list of upgradable hardware, instead Samsung says it will aim to upgrade "eligible devices" in the coming months and will "provide updates as we have additional details to share." Which all sounds like those updates aren't coming to Big Magenta any time soon. Samsung vows to update the list with more details as they arrive, which is available at the source below.

Kies and Updates

How are we to do an ICS update to Android using Kies, when it now says my phone is not supported for software updates. It has said this this the last update to 2.3.6?? Hope it is just a problem with Kies. I am running the leaked version now with no problems, but it still says the same in Kies that it is not supported.:mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
You have to be stock, unrooted, and have all bloatware to get an OTA or Kies upate. All of this informtion is available in the skyrocket forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lakland:
I just went to settings software update and there is an error saying theres is an update but servers are busy.

ICS? :eek: at last? :eek:

I have 2.3.6 unrooted with all the bloatware included :D

I'll keep trying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
Please let it be time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sl33stak:
Same here.

I got the message that there was an update and servers were busy as well. But it also said that it would start the download once it was ready. If I try and check for updates again it says I have to wait 24hrs. WTF?!

Is there a way around this?

Yeah...N00b.....1st post and all. :D

Lol! My prediction for official release date: much excitement for the first hour, during which at 100 threads are created. Then, everyone promptly removes the stock update and goes to one of the custom roms that is vastly superior.

It is completely false. As of last night, the only thing we didn't have working was MMS. Pure AOSP.

I think that blog writers should be required to have knowledge of what they are talking about before spewing garbage like that.

Can AOSP be built immediately from source? Yes. Will it work if you have the props from the phone? Yes. Will it completely work? No. Google did not finish the device tree and so we have to finish it on our own. Is it supported for AOSP? No. Does that mean the code isn't there? No. No big deal. There were kinks with the first GSM AOSP roms as well.

Speaking of which, I am recruiting for beta testers for BAMF Paradigm on Sprint. PM me your email address if interested.

Requirements:

Know how to use adb

Know how to make a logcat

Know how to install roms and wipe data

Having a bit of a weird issue. Weird because it's not always happening. I'm running the latest version of Dark Raider with kozmikkernal. When I get a call from my wife the ring is a bit delayed and when I go to answer it the phone is freezing up and I have to pull the battery. It sounds kinda like the cpu speed is set too low to answer calls but I tried calling from my house phone and I've had no issues with it. I've had her call while running the aosp lockscreen in leeroid tweaks enabled so haven't tried with the normal lockscreen yet. Just don't understand why so far it only happens when it's her phone calling.

Hey guys, I am new to android world and need your help.

I have just bought my new TF201 and running stock rom. So far very happy with the device. But I want to install a font that doesn't come installed on the device and I think I have to root it to do that. After the font installation, I want to go back to unrooted state as I am not interested in rooting/unlocking just yet until I feel more comfortable doing it. Should I wait to do OTA update to .21 until I am done with the font install ? How do I go back to unrooted state after the font installation ?

I get this error on the 12th step on htcdev bootloader unlock thingy and i get this error: FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)

I have tried different methods but nothing have worked :( ...

I have tried to unistall and then restart and then installed all the drivers again 2 times, didnt work. I tried on my laptop and that wouldnt work either...

So if anyone know what this means or anything please answer on this thread!!

I also e-mailed the htcdev support and they said this: "Dear Pontus,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

I understand that you are experiencing problems unlocking your bootloader.

I think the root of the problem is that your unlock token is not valid.

To get a new, hopefully working, token go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions there to download one."

Ive tried to do that also but it didnt work either :( so please guys help me out here!!!
