I was thinking it would be cool to have an app called "mirror" that just shows the front facing camera, without you having to go to the regular camera and then change to the front camera. Is there anything like that?

Thanks, there's nothing free though?
You can use you front camera just with your standard HTC cam app. Its VGA resolution though, by repeating these steps you can flip the cam image, or mirror it, its one of the two.
Works both with taking pictures or making vids.
Have fun!!!

Thanks, actually I'm wondering if there's any way to just open straight into that front facing camera, so you have a quick mirror to use when you need it fast without having to click a bunch of stuff.

Hmmm...I purchased this app a little while ago and switched back to my default camera...today I decided to go back to Vignette and do some photo tests against the default camera.
Both apps are on the same settings, or as close as I could make them. Clearly to my surprise the Vignette app actually takes sharper pics than the X10 camera.
Attached is a photo sample to show the difference...im my eyes its actually a pretty big difference.

i went in the same way i was using vignette but i guess it was some stupid version .. with no available options ... and returned to stock camera ... but now i`m using one of the latest versions and OMG the difference is so big ... i just deleted stock camera app from my screen never gonna use it again ! )
I'm usually a really cynical poster and I don't mean to be a ****, but that's been one of the most popular topics on the forum. It's definitely true though, I don't use the original camera app much.
The only thing I don't like about Vignette is that you can't adjust the contrast on the fly like in the native camera app. I don't like the interface as much either. The X10's interface is pretty good, it just lacks the ability to keep the light enabled by default, to view pictures fullscreen and without Mediascape and a few other very minor tweaks. For once SEMC actually did something correct with the minimalistic and straight forward camera interface.

I think you may have used the free version...which doesn't support the full resolution of your phone. But I took a few different pictures comparing, I only posted that one comparision, but yeah vignette came out better everytime alot more crisp anyways.

Maybe 2.1 will improve the default camera app, but from what Ive read its only giving us 720p and nothing else. I actually like the interface on vignette, I also like the interface on the default camera. But when it really comes down to it, its all about what app will take the clearer more crisp picture right? and that goes to Vignette hands down. There may be a bunch of posts about this already, but really Ill admit, im way to lazy to search today...sorry

I'm positive that even SEMC will update the interface to include some of the important features. It's sad that we have to pay for a third party app to do the most minimalistic tasks, and that's to just take a proper picture. Nothing advanced even!...

I returned to the stock app because vignette is so damn slow and I could not find a way to just take a picture and have it save without having to push 50 buttons.
I won't deny the quality is far superior, but like I said its just stop slow.

That's the stupidest thing you could've done. You've probably broken every application on your phone that uses the camera to add a picture to a message/fb/twitter, ect.
Also, you've lost the ability to easily take video.
Does anyone think before they delete apps?
Well I've noticed that night(or atleast low light) shots are pretty much the same with either app... they both suck
I use Vignette for everything else though...wish it had a better UI

exactly what i did
I tried using Vignette, but I found that it seemed to crop some of the picture automatically? Like, I know there's something like that in the settings, but besides that, what I see on the screen before I take the picture isn't the same as what's captured. Also, I found it really difficult with macro shots, especially with the autoflash. While focussing, the light comes on, but then the light goes off after focus, so then the camera refocuses, and when the picture is taken, the flash comes on but the camera focussed for without light, so you get over exposure or out of focus. Am I using the app wrong? I'm really finding it difficult to focus and get clear pictures, with vignette or stock app

There pretty close, but it almost looks like the X10 default camera has the edge in that pic. Perhaps the X10 default camera is better in lower light photos? I haven't tested that yet.

Hi guys I just noticed that you cannot zoom in 8Mp and 6MP da Arc and was wondering whats the point of having such a good camera without that function..
I also noticed that no zooming in video mode which is ridiculous..
Are there any apps to overcome this problem??
Thanks
You can take picture & zoom it after taking it
Wow...wtf thats pretty ****ty...
I really hate digital zooming it destroys the beauty of the picture. the pictures are big so you can crop them on your pc. digital zoom is ****ty...
Yeah I know...I want to zoom before taking the image...Cannot zoom in video mode as well....

1. Move your body closer to the object(s).
2. Get a tele lens for your Arc.
Digital zooming is crap. I never used it on my old prosumer camera.

First, I found it ridiculous. But when remembering those blurr and low-quality photos on iPhone 4, I think Sony did a good job rather than fooling out customers.
Or use a third party software to zoom or crop.
well you can crop photos on the phone.. but I also think it would be good to have the zoom function on video tbh..

I really had to laugh while reading this thread. ^^
I wouldn't mind the digital zoom gone (as I agree with the crap quality point), but why did they put it into the app in the first place?
I had a look around the SE forums a week or so ago, and that was one of the threads i looked at. Two things sprang to mind:
(1) Dont bother looking on the SE forums for help. SE representatives/mods are utterly useless. Dont think i saw any of them post a useful answer to any question or problem, they only seem to be able to type either: "it sounds like a software problem, reinstall your firmware", or "i dont know anything about that".
(2) SE should have left the digital zoom in, because you can never underestimate the stupidity of your customers. I particularly loved the prize specimen who, after being given a comprehensive and accurate answer why there's no point in having digital zoom, says "i dont want a lecture, i just want my zoom!". Ignorant twat.
You're just so right...

Best hacks i can think of are to uninstall the built in camera app and install 3rd party apps for camera and video recording, suggested starting points Camera ZOOM FX and lgcamera
I borrow this thread for a second or two.
Does anyone know of a camera app that
let you use the whole width of the lens?
What i mean is how to get the pictures
to match the screen resolution, when u
look at them on the Streak? And I don't
mean 800x480 pictures, but with decent
resolution (i.e. using the full capacity of
the 5MP camera). It always bothers me
that the pics doesn't fill the Dell screen.

Well many 3rd party apps can do this, try Camera ZOOM FX, that enables you to choose many resolutions.
Thanx alot for trying to help. I tried a few 3:rd part apps
but they all force you to go down alot in resolution, to
match the 15:9 aspect ratio of the screen. Anyone
knowing of an app that can take 15:9 photos
with high resolutions? Thanx once again.

I use this also its been around for a while and works Great
Camera is Android 4.3 Camera App
What works and I've tested:
- take pictures on all res
- photo-sphere works
- panorama works (I've got though some garbled photos at the end)
- front camera works
- video recording works (both 720 and 1080)

well yes and no yes only 8mp no 16:9 in 8mp
2mp 16:9
I know , I know . it is the issue is with the aspect ratio (the ratio between width and height. At full resolution, the aspect ratio of the camera is 4:3. the screen aspect ratio is 16:9. So to display a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen you need to either leave bands at the top and bottom, or crop some of the picture off the sides. And of course WE want the highest MP . But we have a LG-G2 .
Now now on my LG-G2 with this Lenovo Super Camera is working. And I can set to resolution 4160x3120 13MP and I will test to see if it really is to resolution .. I really dont know
Tested : yes I was able to take pictures at the highest 4160x3120 and 4160x 2340W. every thing works except burst shots .. to fast for camera to focus or to save picture .
A better camera is actually serving my purposes pretty well and it has a lot of handy features. Thanks for the recommendation.
The touch to take a photo is frustrating as hell when i'm used to tap-to-focus on targets rather than it immediately take a pic.
I've tried fiddling around but still no joy. Anyone know of a secret-squirrel setting someplace to turn that crap off?

I guess you could just use the stock app when you need to film slow-mo or 4K? Alternatively, you could look around for other camera apps on the forums or on the play store; I found one called open camera, not the nicest looking interface but looks pretty functional...
Edit: I've heard that the moto x style doesn't support the camera api which is a bit of a bummer...
I've used Open Camera previously, may have to give it a go. Google Camera is ok but it is a bit Basic?
I wonder if the Oppo camera app will work >.>
I think many people do not know that you can use the volume up/down buttons to snap a photo. Then it feels very much like a traditional point and shoot camera when you hold it. I literally just found this out today. I really wish Moto included that tidbit in their initial tutorial animations.

I installed this Xposed module on the stock rom and changed almost all the options in it and also installed Camera 360 and Camera FV 5 Pro (I changed the extension from .jpeg to .png in FV5).
Now I'm not sure if this app it's really better or is just a impression because I can't see any difference between the stock image quality (and Google Camera) and the Camera FV5, I can see just the difference in the image size.
Attached sample images - https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9AGQuLtWUjVUS1lbkF1MTh5MlE&usp=sharing
Camera 360 ≈ 3,6 - 3,8MB
Camera FV5 ≈ 20 - 22MB
Google Camera ≈ 5,0 - 6,0MB
Stock Camera ≈ 5,5 - 6,0MB
Obs.: HDR turned ON in all cameras
