I don't know if it's a known issue but I have a problem:

I'm using a Galaxy S3 with Cyanogenmod 10.2.

When I use touch-to-focus while recording video (btw this is the only app in play store that can do that) it looks fine in the preview, but in the final video some weird green tint appears on the screen and starts stuttering infinitely until the end of the video, like this screenshot I took:

If I don't touch the screen while recording it works fine, and it worked fine in the pre-play version (the one with CM).

Anyway, the app's getting better and better, it is better than any other camera out there, and specially better than the one that comes with CM by default.

hi, i can't find the button to report bug or fc in focal apk
[Android Apps and Games] Andrw0830:
When I try to report the log when it FC's when I select Video, the dialog disappears so I can't record it. This only happened since the last update made my phone only show a black screen, before it would at least select video.

Edit: I was able to keep the dialog open so I can report the issue. Anyone with the same issue, once the app opens, select the option that FC's the app and the dialog box should stay open.

Latest version won't take a photo on Galaxy SII Skyrocket. There are no storage options available either...?

Focus ring starts out green, but turns red when sidebar appears. Tapping focus ring/circle does nothing.

If I double tap to get touch to save set up, when I single-tap, I get a message "Can't take picture".

Galaxy S3 CM10.2

panorama mode rotates the images by 90 degrees. Picsphere is a garbled mess. The standard camera is equal to or worse than the CM10.2 stock camera (no storage options?). The whole thing is pretty buggy and gets stuck in various modes.

Rule of Thirds

For some reason whenever I take a picture with the "Rule of Thirds" function, the picture is taken far to the left. This seems to be a common issue with camera apps. Maybe a "true view" in the view window would fix this, otherwise an off centered camera defeats the purpose of having a grid.

I'm on d2vzw using Carbon ROM nightlies.
[Android Apps and Games] manekineko:
Are you able to comment at all on the technical reasons for the 4.2 limitation? I'd love to try this out on my Galaxy Camera, which is stuck on 4.1.
[Android Apps and Games] axsdenied1:
Not sure if this will help but I compared the exif rotation for photos taken with Android camera app and with Focal (Nexus 4 with CM10.2).

The camera app sets rotation to zero while Focal sets it to whatever the phone is rotated to. I imagine that images are already rotated when taken and that setting the "correct" rotation in exif will rotate them again. That may be the reason why they appear rotated in gallery. Saving zero rotation in exif may fix this bug.

Hey, it says its not compatible with my GT-i9305. I assume it works on S3, any reason why it won't install on my S3 4G?

Hi,

Nice app. few, unrelated, issues:

1. The rotation flag seems to be wrong.. the thumbnail displays 90 deg rotated on photo viewer

2. GPS Tagging - does it exist? It would be nice to have a GPS indicator on screen

3. Saving settings - I'd like some settings to be saved accross activations (such as voicer commands 'on')

4. Voice commands - how do they work? Is it possible to increase sensitivity?

Thanks!

BTW - How do I report issue from the store? The only option I see is to write email...

[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
I love this camera
[Android Apps and Games] Daniel_Lechu:
ok thanks ;)

I've seen this bugs;

-When you capture a panorama, the image is rotated 90º.

-PicSphere sometimes get corrupted images.

-Text in PicSpere is out of screen in horizontal mode.

-HDR don't join images, only capture three with different exposures.

Suggestion:

+Higher res in panorama capture, because even stock camera have higher res.

I've one two questions:

-About panorama: if camera can capture about 3000px height, why cameras app reduce image height?, stock camera capture 1080px, and focal about 760px.

-Lossless capture is useless?, because is a good idea have lossless capture too ;) but if camera is bad then lossless don't care :P

Thanks again for this great camera app.

EDIT: i forgot to say that i've an Xperia S (lt26i).
[Android Apps and Games] TemporaryAccount1214:
Suggestions:

- The location of the trigger button requires be to bend my thumb into a very awkward position. Also, when sliding the trigger button to access camera mode selection, my thumb obscures the two leftmost icons (I am left handed). A better location for the trigger could be on the side of the screen (and it should be configurable for left and right handed people).

- Both still and video camera icons are always available in the camera mode selection. This is redundant as only one can be in use at a time. The centermost camera mode icon could switch between still and video depending on which mode is selected. The fifth icon that is freed could be used for opening settings (the current way of opening settings is not consistent with the way the camera modes are selected).

- You could prevent selecting video mode when camera is in portrait mode. :)
[Android Apps and Games] rhazahrd:
any plans to add "shot with power button" feature?
[Android Apps and Games] TemporaryAccount1214:
I hope that it never happens. The power button has a very specific function in Android: it turns the screen off and locks the phone. Overriding it for a app-specific purpose would be extremely bad user interface design.

Using volume up/down as a trigger, on the other hand, might be a good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] sonwon:
I would make it configurable and on a Galaxy S3 there is a button on the face that would be a good choice for me however all of these should be a user configurable option.
[Android Apps and Games] Daniel_Lechu:
I forgot one sugestion:

+Configurable Volume Buttons: Some people preffer volume buttons as capture or simply don't have camera button, but i preffer as zoom for example.

Thanks!!!

guys, how to save the setting where i can set HDR on? each time need to enable it very troublesome.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
My experiences with Focal:

Note: I cannot install the beta on my device so am using an armv6-compiled version, probably based on the CM codebase. This is not the version that had been on jenkins.androidarmv6.org because that version's screen painting was very choppy (problem shared with recent Maps upgrades!).

Still Pics--quite good.

Video--FC.

Have not tried hdr, panorama or picsphere, do not expect these to work at present.

Overall UI--has a learning curve but is very complete and versatile.

Can be succesfully used as default camera over the one on gallery.

Using Xposed and module AppSetting, got Focal to work on right swiped lockscreen. For some reason, however, this will not work once the app has been force-terminated. Next right-swipe will run the app but must unlock the phone to see it.

Once app crashes and it will do this often enough, it remains active in memory and busies the camera. Next run cannot open the camera. Workaround for this and the above bug most probably can be done with tasker--on not-focal-active, terminate focal? Had done something like that with a kill script to insure bluetooth shutdown on errant ROM.

[Android Apps and Games] rhazahrd:
following your argument, the same applies to volume up/down buttons...

but it doesn't matter what button, the idea is: a physical button as a trigger...
[Android Apps and Games] Heisenberg:
I have to agree with the user above me, the volume rocker also has a very specific function, which kind of negates your point. You need to keep in mind that the usual power button functionality would only be overridden within the Focal app. Anyway, are you really that worried about being able to turn your screen off whilst in a camera app? The proper procedure would be to back out of the app first.

Following the development of this app.... Hope it comes out of beta soon... But have a ?...

One of the thinks I hate about PhotoSphere is that it only saves the PhotoSphere on Google's services... There is no offline/on phone/desktop PhotoSphere viewer.... Never plan to get Google+...

So I am wondering if PicSphere is the same... I would love to be able to make a PicSphere & upload/share it as one file & have some one else view it locally too... Bypassing any online servers... Or being able to choose some other online file/pic sharing services....
[Android Apps and Games] jfriend33:
Very interesting!

Can you see how one pic is a little blue or cooler? That's the stock camera on my droid maxx. Many people have complained about the blue tint. The other pic was taken with focal, only thing I enabled was hdr, and rule of thirds (which I absolutely love).

Bugs but like the idea of this app - want to help

Hi,

At this point i dont like a few things about like no option to turn off sounds, point to file save path or the fact that photos seem waaay to small (~800kB for 8Mpix is too small; 2 times less then crappy stock app) or no support for my physical button.

What i do like is the, idea. I like the concept and i do hope this app will evolve and include more options and customization. I would imagine that in order to make this project you need some feedback so here is mine.

I found 2 bugs for now:

- i can do a sphere pic. when i try to the second pic is always just a green noise (see screens). After that every photo taking action becomes inoperable. I touch to take a photo and... nothing happens. This lasts till i force close/clean ram.

- distorted letters (see screens). the letters in title seem somehow corrupted.

Anything i can do to help?

PS.

I hope that resized quality is enough.

EDIT:

Seems it xda resized is not enought to see the distorted letters issue. Mirror on Dropbox, unmodified.

Oppo Find 5 image resolution 640x480

Hi, I installed Focal on my Oppo Find 5 on both CM 10.1 and AOKP 4.3 from Maxwen. When i take pictures with Focal the image resolution always is 640x480 (0.3MP) no matter what i set in the image size setting (using back camera). Is there anything i can do to fix this ?

Focal on I9505 + CM 10.2

[GT-I9505 + CM 10.2]

I am very happy about Focal existing. As a camera app power user, the only thing I am missing from Samsung Bloatware OS is the camera app. Focal is the only chance of an somewhat adequate substitute for that and has the potential to be my daily (camera) driver. :good: ...so please continue your great work.

My issue is with the 16:9 mode: Using the 2.4 MP 16:9 a lot, I hat to realize, that it is working quite good in general but the end product is not usable anyway. The reason is the (cropped) area of the picture taken which is wrong. It is like shifted up from what was selected on the screen before.

I got the impression the picture taken would be a 3:4 ratio with the borders of the pic taken outside the visible on the finder/screen but then cut to 16:9 - and sadly cut on the lower part, so as a result, the lower part of the 16:9 pic in comparison to the screen is missing but on the top is an addition that was not in the selected area. Not sure if that description was clear.

In simple words, the picture taken on 16:9 (2.4 & 9.6 MP) is missing its lower part but adds a part on the top which was not selected.

I had the exact same thoughts as you regarding my note 2. Samsung really does well at camera apps (of all things). You should check out Snap camera (it has nothing to do with Snapchat). Has a great stock android-like gallery and an excellent camera app with advanced HDR settings.

This is great app, I'm on a Razr HD (XT925) using stock ROM at 4.1.2 and while trying to record video at 60FPS the app crashes. I did report trhough the app but just thought you should now. I have no issues recording at 60fps using the stock camera app. I have tried customs ROMS, but I always end up missing the stock camera app, if this works I wouldn't mind using a custom ROM anymore.

Hello xplod,

Excuse my curiosity, but i want to know why is focal not running on the s2, and a lot of other devices. I understand that it has something to do with samsung not publishing the source code, but if that's the case, then how does the cm camera work? Can't you at least replicate its behavior and work from there?

Excuse me for those maybe dumb questions, but i just really want to use this app:p
[Android Apps and Games] ixomon:
Focal is running an my old GT-I9100 (S2) wit CM 10.2 (unofficial version from "infected")as the OS.

It crushes somewhat more often then on my newer S4 (i9505) but is working quite fine in general (with the same bugs).

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Snap camera is in my opinion inferior to other camera apps.

After quite some experimenting I came to Camera JB+ 3.0 (snaps and vids) and Camera FV-5 (serious shots or more difficult circumstances) as my daily drivers. To put this in perspective maybe I should mention that I am coming from serious DSLR photography (D3) and have certain expectations regarding my shots. "Snaps" are fine... but sometimes not enough. Depends highly on environment and expectations.

Snap was useful for me when HDR shots (although just a gimmick) were not supported by other camera apps, which is today not the case anymore. Depending on your needs, Snap might a good solution for you - it is not for me, I would prefer JB+ in similar situations and FV-5 has far superior capabilities (also is way more complicated) for shots, where I want to control everything.

I would be happy if Focal would be able to substitute all of the current in use apps in the future... or at least my snapshot app (today JB+).
