Hi there.
In stock gallery app, I would like to have an option to have my screen orientation according to sensors and NOT to Android settings, such as in QuickPic app. Is there a way to do that? Would be great.
Thanks

There is an app called Ultimate Rotation Control on the Play Store which is free to try for 7 days then requires payment, and it has per app settings.
Oh, great, thanks!
No free alternative app? Or a way to do this manually?
I found Smart Rotator, seems free (with ads). Takes 20MB memory with a background service.

I noticed that in the Gallery app, the pictures zoom in and out in "stages", thus making it look really like it's heavily lagging - and not like any other phone where zooming is very fluid. Any workaround to make zooming lag-free? Or perhaps there's a better Gallery-like app around in the Market?
quickpic in the market.
You can also get the gallery app that is used on virtually all other android phones on the market. Someone posted an apk for it on the themes and Apps section.

it's called 3d cool gallery ... it's the stock android gallery + some tweaks and sensor motion support...
do somebody know how to integrate that into camera apk ... I'm asking if there is a way to make the camera "call" another gallery apk not the stock one.cause even if you install alternatives ... they will not open directly after a shot but you will need to open the apk directly.very annoying

+1 for that!!! The camera app should ask first time what app you want to use when ticking the recent photos icon... but that is a work for developers (if they want to do it and have time of course!)
I am trying program an app at during the process of the app, you are allow to take a picture and allow the user to view the picture that was taken. Kinda like, messaging apps that are out there. Do you have to build an activity+services that would control the camera or is there a way to switch to the camera app and back?
A few people have asked me which camera based apps work well with this camera. So I thought I would share some findings here.
Essentially any Android app that makes use of a phone's camera will work with the Galaxy Camera, ie will allow access to the camera module and take the picture. The compatibility issues to be wary of are interface issues. This I find is either an app that only allows portrait mode, an app that uses an on screen slider for zooming (the zoom button on the camera controls the volume level in the app), an app that keeps the lens extended making the camera awkward to hold whilst using the editing features within the app and finally some storage location issues.
The following camera and editing apps are the ones I have tested so far:
HDR Camera+
Takes the picture with the shutter button or a screen tap and applies colour processing as desired, but uses an on screen zoom slider which zooms correctly but is awkward to use when holding the camera.
Camera Zoom FX
As above. The horizon level and shake detection work as designed too. However the camera shutter button sometimes takes the picture at the halfway point. Because of the weight of the camera and slightly awkward positioning of the on screen controls, I found myself accidently taking pictures.
Lapse it Pro
Again uses an on screen zoom but otherwise works as expected.
Pics Play Pro editor
An excellent editor but sadly only works in portrait mode. Does not have its own camera, will ask you to choose including the default camera.
Instagram
Comes pre-installed but interface only shows portrait mode, you can take a shot in landscape but the interface doesn't rotate with the viewfinder. I believe this is the same when used on a phone.
PicSay Pro
This is probably the best photo editor out there, it works in landscape mode but the feature that's missing oddly is a capture function. Why this is missing is beyond me. So you will have to take a picture normally then open it up in the app.
I would be quite happy to try out any other camera specific apps if anyone wants me to and will add to my list.

Thnx for post!
Can you please try from play google com

And one more question - can any of photo applications control Optical Zoom by its on-screen-slider (not by hardware buttons)? Or only built-in?
Can you get any app to record slow motion video ( or does it work only in samsung's app ) ?
And maybe little OT: if you could please check little of USB OTG functionality ?
I can confirm that, on a rooted SGC, the OTG works, if Stick Mount is installed. I didn't try it without Stick Mount installed.
The default file manager opens automatically, I switched to the USB drive and could read all contents and open images using default Gallery.

The paid for Pro Capture Camera + Panarama app works with the Zoom button, albeit in a less smooth fashion than the default camera app. It doesn't automatically display the volume slider on the display, as most other camera apps from Play. I'll be checking this app out further so will let you know if there's anything else significant.

Paper Camera (paid)
Lets you apply some quirky effects to pictures and movies. Zoom does work in about 3 or 4 stages though (emailed devs, they're looking into it).
IP WebCam
Get to use your cam as a very high resolution IP webcam. Produces some very nice video. More for fiddling around than any serious purpose
The best panorama app in my opinion is ProCapture. You guys should definitely try it out. It produces some amazing hires shots and the algorithm seems very smart.
For HDR, IMO nothing beats HDR Camera+ with 'Pure' setting and noise reduction set to None.

Firstly the on-screen zoom slider does operate the optical zoom in these apps, it's not a digital zoom
Camera FV5 Lite
As far as I can tell this is working as designed, there are a lot of features in the app but as they are processing options they should work fine. Zooming once again isn't available on the hardware button.
LG Camera
The on screen button that has a flower icon... not sure what this is supposed to do, but all that happens when you tap it, is the whole screen turns white. It restores when tapping again. Auto flash is selectable when flash is raised but you cannot turn it off. Lowering the flash light will allow you to select off, but obviously it won't fire anyway in the lowered position.
Camera X Free
This has compatibility problems due to the screen size/resolution. Some of the icons merge together, are not selectable as touching them causes a picture to be taken. Adverts cover top part of screen and saved shots don't seem to appear in the gallery. I would give this a wide berth for now.
My conclusion, is that the camera's own set of utilities and effects are far better than any of these third party camera apps.
I use HDR Camera+ as it's more customisable than the built in Rich Colours setting. I use Camera Zoom FX for the props and frame overlays etc, all other apps I have tried so far I deleted as they just don't add any real value to the camera's own settings.

The built in camera App.
I imagine there might be a couple of libs that are needed like when you use JB4.2 camera App, but just wondered if it would run a phone camera.

Hi,
I'm trying the recommended apps on my GC.
However, I'd like to have some other Camera features:
- 3D still photo (don't say it's impossible with a one-lens camera, Samsung WB850F smart camera can do it with a similar(or same ?) lens of Galaxy Camera)
- 3D panorama (this is another great feature of Samsung WB850F - captures panorama with 3D feature)
- Action panorama (this is another great feature of Samsung WB850F - captures panorama and a moving object on the still background)
Are there any 3rd party apps which could do these 3 features ?
thx.

no ideas ?
I've tried the following apps on Galaxy camera. Some of them are really useful apps. Some of them are not working, crashing.
HD Panorama+
Nice app for panorama photos.
Camera 3D
Manual 3D photo app. There are tons of this kind of 3D photo apps. This one is pretty good.
3D Photo Cam
The description of this app is tempting but it crashed on my Galaxy Camera. HAs anyone tried it successfully ?
FaceinHole
Great app for face in hole scenarios.
PIP Camera
Great PIP scenarios. Really nice.
Twin Me!
Crashed on my Galaxy Camera. But it seems to have uniq features like having 2 times same object in the photo on same background.
Does anyone have any idea why it crashes ?
MotionGraph
Nice one to have only some part of the photo moving.
Why do we have so many apps crashing ? (if they also crash on your GC)

I don't believe so, kept alive by yourself, thanks!
I have become frustrated at the amount of camera apps that only allow portrait view in both interface and on taking pictures. I guess this is down to the damn iPhone mentality again!
I have tended to just use what Samsung has provided and use some decent editing software (where necessary)

Just took a look and it is very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
GCam Tool's primary purpose was to move portrait mode burst photos from their own sub-folders to the main gallery, keeping whichever photos the user wants (background blurred or non-blurred) while discarding the rest. Since then, I have been getting mails from users who wanted the app to move not just portrait mode but even normal photos.
With GCam Tool 2.0, all photos (even panorama and photosphere) are moved automatically in the background. If you want to save portrait mode photos into a different folder, this must be the easiest way.
Another request I got was regarding the way Google Camera took selfies. Most OEM camera apps give you the option to save the front camera image just like you see in camera preview. Strangely Google Camera doesn't allow this and always saves the image flipped. With v2.0, GCam Tool can now detect front camera photos and prevent it from being flipped.
I must give the disclaimer that this is an experimental feature. Google doesn't provide any sort of API for developers to detect whether a photo was taken with front or back camera. I had to come up with my own method of detecting that. I tested on S8+, OnePlus 3 and Redmi Note 4 and it worked fine. If this feature fails on your phone, please let me know the device model as well as the Android version.
Please try the app and let me know your feedback. If you like it, please take a moment to rate and review on Play Store.

Selfie picture is flipped to get right perspective, even xperia devices do this.The problem is that you shot something different from what you see in the display preview.You can easily adjust the picture with apps like snapseed or others.
had a tasker profile for that but tried your app. like it and upgraded to pro?
Very good app.. Upgraded to Pro but the app is crashing when i try to do batch move
Another Pixel 2 XL owner reported the same issue. I can't reproduce it on my S8+. Could you please write to [email protected]? I would like to figure out what's happening and fix it.

Unfortunately I couldn't figure it out yet. After moving photos, the app calls Mediascan service which should inform the OS about new images and as such it must appear in the camera slide to photo gallery. But somehow that is not working.
Working great thanks ?

Hey! I saw the flip prevention feature and bought pro immediately to try it out, sadly it didn't work and after I restarted my device the checkbox disappeared from the settings page. I'm using a Pixel 2 XL on 8.1 April update.
EDIT: There's no disappearing checkbox bug, that was just me.

I am assuming you are talking about gallery that you see when you slide to right inside Google Camera. Even though all files are moved correctly in the background, that gallery has some issue with refreshing thumbnails. The app even calls mediascan after moving files, which should have fixed the issue. But that gallery app still won't refresh.
Third party gallery apps do not seem to have this issue.

thank you @Apptuners, this is exactly what I've wanted with this phone since the day I got it. God I hate those sub folders when taking portrait pics.
Someone can confirm no flip mod works in pixel 2 xl?
I have an app to scan bar codes by the camera I want to use gallery instead of the camera. I tried google lens, and pic2cam but nothing is working. Its look like app has its own camera setup.
What I need to do is to mod this app to use gallery. I was trying to decode app->edit->recompile but every time I do that app will crash. [ I'm not good at moding ] I'm an android app developer by the way. Please help me with what I can do now.
