Hi just to let you know that focal camera forces close on HTC one international running viperone sense 5.5 Android 4.3. This is a great camera and as soon as a fix is available i will be using as my first choice camera app. Thanks for all the time you've dedicated to this project.:good:

Hi,

I am using the focal app on my Nexus 4 CM10.2 nightly.

When I take a picture in portait mode and share them to G+ / Facebook those pictures are rotated by 90°.

The landscape pictures are working fine.

With the stock camera app its working.

Has anyone an idea or is this current a known bug ?

Thanks a lot for any advice,

Max

Edit: seems to be a common issue right now.

Waiting for a solution.

Video File Corrupt and Cannot Play.

Hello! I am writing today as I have been using your app and it is fantastic! I noticed yesterday what might be a bug that I wanted to bring to your attention and see if it was something you were able to troubleshoot. I tried following the Bug Reporting instructions as best I could but I can't seem to locate the "Report" button you reference at the bottom of your initial post; however, I was able to generate a logcat file for you to review.

The bug I have encountered is when I film a video, the file is corrupt in some way and unable to play. A file is generated and saved to the appropriate location but the phone does not recognize it as a valid file and I have tried playing on my laptop using VLC, VLC crashes when I open the file in most cases. So far other functions seem to work w/o issue but this is the one that seems to not work properly.

In the event the logcat file doesn't state it, I am using an HTC Sensation (aka Pyramid) running Android 4.3.1. The Android version I am currently running is a CM 10.2 mod that can be referenced here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2402665

Please let me know if I can assist with any testing or with providing any further information.

Thanks again.

[Android Apps and Games] galaxy_ace_2:
I test on a Samsung galaxy ace 2. It work. Problems i see is the setting of the Ev correction value. before the 1. image is shoot, EV correction is then in Camera preview ok, but the recorded image is EV 0. stand also in Exif. When restart the app or switch phone to standby and then from standby on, then for the 1. image Ev correction is in the preview again correct. but wrong when picture is save. I test with setting lowest (guess its -1) to see the problem good. maybe setting always Ev correction before the capture command help. i see in Camera FV-5 lite, that EV correction can work ok with galaxy ace 2.

I set series rate to 5 pictures, but when restart Focal, single shot is enable. dont know if thats a Bug or a feature. I like always series rate.

sometimes it take long time to start (screen is then 4-5 sec black). 1 time after longer try i get a freeze when i start and press to short after start app the volume up button to make a picture. but when i wait 1-2 sec, then no freeze happen.

Wrong date and missing geolocation

Hello,

love the camera,but besides the weird "orientation-issue" I found

the following bug/missing feature:

the date of all my pictures taken with Focal is set to Jan,01 1970

and the geolocation is missing (see attached screenshots)

when I use the "stock"camera everything is fine...

keep up the good work!

What does this camera app add ?

In terms of smoothness I find the default camera app + photosphere better .

[Android Apps and Games] bofis:
Love the volume key shutter, but why the cropped preview?

I'm loving Focal on my Droid 4 with CM10.2, especially because it defaults to using my volume keys as the shutter (a setting I cannot find in the CM camera, which only wants to use my power key). Unfortunately, I'm upset that the preview on the screen while lining up your shot is a cropped view showing the center of the frame, rather than the actual 4:3 image the sensor is seeing. It would be wonderful to have an option to just show the actual image preview on the screen even if that meant black bars on the right and left sides.
[Android Apps and Games] mondokat:
Ditto. Having a hard time seeing what's better or understanding the justification of the 4 star rating on play. Buggy, crashy, glitchy, slow releases to fix the bugs... Why are we raving about this? Don't get me wrong, I love the effort and I'll follow the progress, but people calling this the best camera app ever seem delusional.
[Android Apps and Games] redback_rsa:
Maybe their previous camera app wasn't as useful...
[Android Apps and Games] iggdawg:
I think a lot of people use this as an alternative to the AOSP camera. Most people run AOSP ROMs because they like it better than whatever vendor their phone came with. but one place AOSP falls short is with camera support. So they stick with their vendor's stock software or a ROM based on it. I think a lot of what people see in this app is some hope to get a camera a lot like the stock AOSP one but with a decent feature set. And not many people have really gone out and taken a stab at it.

Most 3rd party cameras are bloated, loaded with ads, or put out by devs that nobody has ever heard of before. With android malware being a legit thing, it's good to see decent open source apps with no ads being put out by reputable devs.

For the record, I could never develop and maintain a camera app like this. Much less do it for free in my spare time.
[Android Apps and Games] wearyinside:
Is there any way to set this as the default camera?
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Like any other app alternative.

Go into gallery and tap camera icon. You will be offered a choice of whatever camera apps you have, just once or always (default). I got it as default over lockscreen as well with a little help from Xposed appsettings.
[Android Apps and Games] igunisu:
Wow, best app so far!

Just a couple of problem i'm having (NEXUS 4 STOCK)

Photo orientation is wrong, i mean, in the inapp viewer orientation is ok, but in most third parties app like quickpic it doesn't show the correct orientation.

Bigger problem is another: i can't start Focal from whatsapp attachment, it just doesn't recognize Focal as a camera app. Gallery does, Whatsapp doesnt ._.
[Android Apps and Games] Toshiro93:
Can't say it works properly on my Xperia Ray (Android 4.1.2, ROM based on CM10), but overall it works fine. The major bug I'm dealing with is green artifacts flashing on the screen, but they're not present on taken pictures. I'll stick with it tho, as I couldn't find any alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] pakitos:
Will there be ever an update? It's been way too long since last update and many complains about the app crashing. I cant use it since last update and that was WEEKS ago! :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
I'm sure OP is busy with life (some people have those), and a new ROM venture, Omni. And this app is listed as a beta in the Play Store, so if you want a fully functional, bug-free app, this might not be for you...yet. Also, keep in mind the OP is doing this for free in his spare time.

When asked if this app was still under development recently (and in this very thread), he responded with:
[Android Apps and Games] roofrider:
Yea Omni is a pretty big project, just wait.

Works well on my tablet.

There are some bugs though, not sure if proper to my device:

-exposure doesn't work, the scrolling bar does nothing.

-the drawer can't play videos (and when a video is the last thing recorded, it does not allow to open gallery or travel through the taken pictures/videos).

-the screen shrinks the image in 1920x1200, ratio seems to be for 1920x1080 /!\ The actual taken picture/footage is fine.

OFC some few lags, some options work one time, then don't, etc. But I'm gessing that's why it is still in beta :D

Great job! I love it. Way better than the stock camera.

PicSphere Bugs - HTC1X and Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM

Focal seemed to take video and pictures ok, but the PicSphere did not work.

I tested on an HTC One X and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM both running CM 10.2

PicSphere picture taking was ok but only in portrait mode and not in landscape.

Rendering never seemed to finish, I could not find any rendered files after.

Sometimes render would be stuck on 33% (Samsung)

Sometimes it would be stuck on 77% (Rest are HTC)

88% Blending Picture

Once rendering ending in a render failed message.

Sometimes it would have a tray notification of the render and sometimes it wouldn't

I only performed 2 tests on each device and the test were with 5 to 10 photos so not a full sphere.

I hope that helps.

I started using Focal on my N4 and it worked great, the best part was how quickly it snapped the photo, shutter speed was a hell of a lot faster than the stock app which made taking 'action' shots so much better
