Dear jimmod,

First, your app seems to be exactly what I'm looking for and I'm willing to get the donate version if it's able to do what I wish.

Let me explain quickly my project and you'll let me know if it can work :

A bloody thief seems to have an access to my letterbox and steals me regularly some packages.

I simply want to trick him.

My project is to buy for less than 30$ an used old phone with a back and a front camera (Like a Samsung Galaxy S2 or a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2).

To put inside a sim card with 3G, GPS activated and a silent spying program (probably yours).

Charge the battery to 100%, let the phone in sleep mode and put it in a package that I'll put into my own letterbox.

I expect the guy to stole this package as he usually does, then when he'll open the package (at home, or in the street, I don't know), the first thing he'll probably do is to press a button (the main central button, or the sound button on the left or maybe the on/off button on the right) or tap in the middle of the screen, and

at this exact moment

I want your program to silently start, take pictures and send the photos (from both front and back cameras) directly through 3G to my email box.

I know your program isn't able for now to activate as soon as he feels the phone is moving (Next Features: - Movement detection), but is he able to activate by himself as soon as a button is pressed ?

I assume that you've got now the big picture, so let me know if you've some ideas about it ;)

Thanks !

If you search on PlayStore you'll find apps that you install on the cellphone and you can poll the location, take pictures, and even listen audio.
[Android Apps and Games] El Porcharo:
I know, but doesn't it means that you have to stay very steady and keeping the image not to be moved at all to let those features to work?

mmh...
[Android Apps and Games] Beat_Slayer:
You may have a point there... But we also have the face and motion detection modes, where the phone can be really steady just waiting....:)

Hi, I would like the option to mute and suspend the music during the shooting or recording and resume the music playing after the shooting. Like this when Ide or minimize I heard my music, if i press the volume key to start recording, music will be pause, recording start.. When hit the volume again, recording stop and music resume :) maybe this is more clear explaination ?

Do you think it's possible ?

SPY CAM

Force close on samsung s 7562 phone.But working great on micromax and other samsung models.
[Android Apps and Games] tuliouel:
1. The APP is, indeed, trying to get personal sensitive information about me, and the proof is here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lb9eeh8d6hstyy3/AACrAqX4ag993OrkWHBu9BaSa?dl=0

2. Indeed, knowing my IP (you confirmed it accesses the internet) plus carrier info may identify my person and location, but the APP isn't only doing that, but also really accessing my GPS. Check, in the screenshots shown in the link above, where it sais "requestLocationUpdates". And check here, where there's a catalog of functions that the APP actually accesses: https://crowd.xprivacy.eu/?package_name=com.jwork.spycamera (the bold ones are accessed and the normal ones are not).

3. Yes, I have my Framework Xposed, and what this APP Xprivacy does may be in the concept of decompiling.

Spy Camera OS

hi

could you add frame rate setting in the upgrade version please.

this is best app i tried the quality is amazing but it lacks fps settings, i have tried all other apks but yours is the best in term of quality, and all other spy cam does not support fps setting even in two apk there is an option to force

fps setting to higher but actualy does not work, for example in svr apk you can check fps box to force to capture higher fps rate but it does not work at all, also smart spy video camera has option to pick upto 120fps but actually does not work either.

so the only apk that support fps settings and actually works are 'Snap Camera HDR' i know its not spy apk but it actually work on setting the fps, so you may look at this.

my phone is htc m7 so for the front cam i have no problem with fps, but for the back i use all applications and all support upto 5fps except Snap Camera HDR and stock camera apk which support 21 and 19 fps, so i am guessing it is because htc uses ultra pixels at the rear camera .

note: all video captured and tested in the same light condition.

once you fixed it will but it for sure.

thank you
[Android Apps and Games] randhieka:
thx, this app usefull for my activity hahaha :))
[Android Apps and Games] M1ster1:
I've searched but I didn't find an app that waits and that starts silently as soon as a button is pressed.

They required different triggers, like an app, an online website or an "sms" that you send to your phone when it's stolen.

But the trigger is always initiated by the owner of the stolen phone, not directly by the thief.

I wish it works like a trap.

Corrupted Filles

On my LG G3, its seems that in the folder where the images and videos are stored, the files get corrupted. I can see the last five or ten photos/videos I took, but for about 50 images and photos after that the files show no images and the videos don't play. On my file viewers instead of a thumbnail there's just a black square.

Each time I use Spy Camera more files become corrupted in that folder.
[Android Apps and Games] El Porcharo:
Hello there! I don't want to be a pain in the arse but I'm back again for the "incomplete loading" on the Oppo Find 7.

Got my phone back yesterday after a 3 weeks RMA and flashed a new version of ColorOS, the 2.0.5i beta.

Problem's still there even with the new OS so I think it has something to do with some Oppo features... I've taken a Logcat which is attached. :D

Maybe I will try and get another couple of logs tomorrow if needed.

Let me know! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] YodatheGIANT:
Hey, so I have the LG G3, which can record from both cameras at the sime time, and I was just wondering if there was any way to implement that into the app.
[Android Apps and Games] jimmod:
Thank you for the information.

It's weird but some user(although not much) reporting similar issue.

Can you tried to move the file to other folder and see if it still randomly corrupted after moved?

SCOS doesn't implement anything related with delete/modifying previous image so it might be other app or process that do this.

Thank you for updating on this Oppo issue, the problem still similar like previous one that the initialization is not finish (somehow).

Other phone behavior is the image preview started so the app know the initialization finished, but somehow the method (onPreviewFrame) is not called on Oppo. I only have Oppo Find 5 mini (R827) and it work fine on this device.

I would need to test several changes until find what need to be changed, and it's hard without owning the device.

Current Android camera API is quite limited since it didn't provide specific model feature. So no both camera capture for now.

Samsung also have this feature since Galaxy S5 or Note3 on their stock camera.
[Android Apps and Games] El Porcharo:
Mate.. Look what I'm doing here :)

I'm sending you a private message with my Gmail: if you can deal with "remote" testing, feel free to contact me on Hangout. I would be glad to help you with testing in "real time" (I'm on GMT+1 :D ) and report back log files or whatever you need.

I can also try to translate your app into Italian if you want.

Let me know!

[Android Apps and Games] david Emanuel:
please.. help me friend

Please, friend, what app did you mentioned? That you put that picture witch suporte 4K recording?? I downloaded the SC-OS, the one i believe its in this post's first page and is completely diferent and don't have that menu with 4k option.. What's the name of the app you're using??
[Android Apps and Games] Corolla7:
full use of stock camera settings? maybe a paid feature?

I use this app on my galaxy s4, when I use the video recording feature my videos are full of "streaks" or blurrs as I walk and record. Basically recording in motion comes out blurry/streaky. My stock video recorder does not record with these blurry effect it keeps everything mostly still and in frame. I am requesting maybe full use of all the video recording features on android devices (when available ) like sports mode, night mode, scenery mode, etc within the advanced settings of this app. This could be part of the donate feature, I would definitely donate for full use and better stability to the video recording option.

about lockscreen widget

Hi, can you make the "widget on lockscreen" become the shutter straight away to take snapshot without unlocking the phone?

What i mean is the app widget can be tailored made on the main screen as shutter button but not at the lockscreen that I wish to have

thanks

Bug: lock exposure during video recording

Hi I found the following bug in version 0.3.7 (downloaded from the second post in this thread) running on android 4.2: during video recording the exposure is locked on the value it had when the video started, e.g. if I start a video outdoor (bright environment) then I enter a building (dark environment), the first part of the video is OK, but the second one will be very underexposed (or just plain dark). And viceversa.

It seems SCOS can't adjust the exposure depending on changing light conditions during the video recording. You can also see it in the small preview window when SCOS is not minimised.

Android 5.1 sounds

Hello

I installed you app a couple of months ago after being assaulted on the street. I love it for the simple widget to quickly start the video recording. So much so that I have also started using it for fast filming of the kids.

I was playing with it and discovered that after upgrading my nexus5 to 5.1 (from 5.0.2) I now hear the bloop sound when taking pics and start/stop video. If I reduce the photo to LOW then the sound goes away but the Video still bloops on/off in any res. The notification sound is locked on whilst the app is running.

Doesn't really affect my usage of the app but figured it could be useful info for all you 'spies' out there...

Regards

Issue

Same Issue here on my Note 4 after cyanogenmod 12 Android 5.0.2 (free and donated version)

No Video Preview after starting app, just a big Stop Button.
[Android Apps and Games] redbulz:
Dear Jimmod,

Were you able to look into this issue yet? I can provide a sample too because I experience the same "stretching" in videos. It's visible in the preview too when I put something in front of the camera and rotate the phone 90 degrees. This is the only little annoying thing in this otherwise great app. Thanks for your efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] jimmod:
I'm currently working on v0.3.8

Adding new languages for translation contributor.

And working on 4K beta video recording.

Will need to check into this, depends on whether the music player support a way to paused from other app.

Current SCOS doesn't support 4K video recording. But next version will be, I'm working on it right now.

Have you activate the autofocus? it will prevent the video/image blurred

Can you explain more in detail

Do you want SCOS available as lockscreen widget?

Thank you for the info.

Have you try to change the quality video configuration?

Noted. Thank you for the report.

Hi, the sound is triggered by the OS. Seems on Android 5.1 it forcing the sound even when the sound muted.

Will need to check on this.

Meanwhile if your phone rooted you can remove the shutter sound file.

Will need the log file. Most likely SCOS failed to detect that the camera is already finish initialized (that's why it not showing the complete action buttons.

Please send me the samples via send feedback.

shutter button as lockscreen widget

Hi,

Yes, you are right, I wish to press the widget and take snap photo straight-in without unlocking the screen.

Currently, the widget on lockscreen is launching the app which I still need to unlock it and hit another button to take photo.

thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] philthebeat:
Hi jimmod!

First of all, thank you for your continued efforts on this app. It is great and useful. I have been using the Donate version for a while now.

I see you are working on 4k support. I own a Nexus 6 with Android 5.1.1 and I can CONFIRM that 4k already works. I chose the option "Highest" from the "Back Camera video quality" setting (instead of choosing a particular resolution) and it's recording in 4k without problems. Maybe people with devices that support 4k could try this and see if it works for them as well.

I found a workaround for this issue. SCOS automatically puts the phone to silent when you fire it up. Well, what it actually does in Lollipop is put the INTERRUPTIONS mode to "Priority". It used to mute the shutter sound in Android 5.0 but not anymore in 5.1.

I found out that if I put the INTERRUPTIONS mode to "None" before starting SCOS, the shutter sound would then mute as it is supposed to. I hope that will help you resolve that issue for other people.

Last thing

The app is really working great and I am looking forward to new enhancements and features. On top of my list would be a way to record in 60fps if the device supports it.

I hope the new camera APIs from Lollipop can help you give more power to SCOS.

If you need help with testing stuff on Nexus 6 Android 5.1.1 (or Samsung Galaxy SIII Android 4.4), let me know!

Regards,

Why are notifications disabled during on-time?

Everytime I run this app I miss phone calls, SMS, alarms etc....very frustrating.

Is there a way to prevent this app from putting the phone in silent mode? An option to start in vibrate or silent mode would make a great feature.

Silent mode is a huge problem when using this app for extended periods.

Hi, all email should already replied by me today.

Let me know if I still haven't replied yours.

Noted.

4K is on the way, this removal issue from google pending it though.

For FPS, I still didn't see it really work. I'm avoiding go native (c++) though to make sure the compatibility.

I've tried to set it in the code but didn't see it change the video file result.

For bluetooth, have you tried the volume button (on the bluetooth)?

For torch noted, although I think it's only for special cases. The torch will break this 'spy' purpose :D

Seems the flow of initializing camera a bit different.

Causing SCOS think the camera preview is not initialized yet. I'll check on it.

Android Lollipop 5.0 access for external sdcard is on the way.
