Hello,
is there a program or a setting for allowing filming but when on/off button pressed the filming not to stop?In this manner we can still film but noone to observe.
Thanks,
Another possibility for your spyCam would be to write a programm which films and shows a black screen.
the idea is good
i know...but there is nothing done at the moment?
A GOOD spy cam should have movement detection trough the cam, so it can:
Make a photo, a video, play an alarm when movement is detected;
Register only audio
Upload it to anywhere,
Send it via MMS
launch an app.
Nothing exist like this, the only "decent" app is JGUI InvisibleShooter, but still (and i think never) not complete.
Symbian OS are full of that apps.
BSB and XT Hack both have options in them to activate these hidden camera modes, but none of the modes actually work. Burst and Sports don't work at all and the geotag on the GPS photos doesn't show the correct position when you right click on the photo in Album and select 'Show on map' - on my phone it is at least 30 miles to the east in every instance.
Has anyone found a way of making these modes function correctly (i.e. later camera drivers) or are they all disabled by default as there is no way of making them function properly?
I'm running with Steve and Miri's latest Elegancia v8.0 ROM (2.13 base) so should have the latest camera drivers already.
My setup shows the location of photographs properly. I have installed the latest version of Google Maps.
I wondered if this worked for me because I live near 0° longitude but then took pictures in France that were located correctly too.
If there's anything that I can check or send to you that might help, please let be know.
I just upgraded to an Evo from an HTC Touch.
I've started playing with the Evo camera and did not see a burst mode under the options.
On my HTC Touch, it allowed camera burst mode with 5 shots in a row.
Pics came out great when you shoot action shots like kids jumping into the swimming pool.
Is this burst option hidden somewhere on the Evo?
Or, is there "an app for that" in Market that I can download?
Thanks...
no dice, looks like we will need to install one of the camera apps from market
That's one thing I will say for the Touch (and all other Win Mobile phones)...I sure miss registry edits for hidden things like turning on new camera modes.
Yay another person from a touch. I actually had android on my touch for a number of months, way better then WinMo on there.
I want burst as well.
I believe Camera Zoom FX or something similar allows up to 16 burst shots albeit at only 2megapixels (I believe 1600x1200)...
The other cool thing though is (and I haven't worked it all out yet) but it lets you set a Clap-on Clapper timer... it sits and waits for clap then auto bursts...
Pretty cool app. Wish it would allow a little more customization - but very cool.
1. How to make that everytime when i enter in the CamRecorder, to have 720p already ON? (everytime i must switch it from VGA to 720p, when exiting the app)
2. How to fix the autofocus from the Camera (not Camrecorder). Its really annoying to change to camrecorder, to let it focus, and then switch to camera and make a photo.
And one more question
3. I have installed all the unlocks, fixes,regions, etc. Created and activated my Live ID, called Microsoft they gave me an activaton code. I entered both of them, and marketplace gives me an error like : Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while.
More questions laters, maybe)
Even a proper HD7 you have to set 720p everytime, maybe one day someone will find a regkey to change this?
Ive never had an issue with focusing camera or camcorder, its amazing the camcorder focuses whilst recording unlike anything else Ive seen
There are threads to help get the Market working, basically after setting the CustClear.provxml the phone should say HD7 in Zune.
i'm having the same focusing issue with the camera too. hopefully someone will find a solution for it..
What reg fix i need to put in custclear.provxml that zune will say it's HD7..
I have HTC HD2 , and he cant autofocus on CAMERA, just only in camrecorder.
To make the marketplace work, i need this ?
Add this registry entries to show HTC Apps in the Marketplace (this will Not Fix live error!)
Your Phone will be identified as an HD7!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\operatorpkg]
"Version"="7.3.728.10201"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"OemName"="HTC"
"MODeviceName"="HD7 T9292"
"OEMDeviceName"="Schubert"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"FriendlyName"="HTC HD7"

yes, but you have to do that before you activate it.
here is a step by step guide => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579
Camera has no auto focus, end of story.The camera in WP7, not just ours, is built in a way where WP7 phones have a button which when half pressed it focuses, and when pressed fully, it takes the picture. That is why microsoft requires every WP7 phone to have a shutter key.
What he means by camcorder and camera is that use the camcorder to focus on the picture, and then quickly switch to camera and take the picture while the camera is still focused on the scene.
Ahh yer you're right. The camera does not focus at anytime & uses what the camcorder was last focused at.
So to focus the camera, just press the camcorder button and let it focus then switch back to camera, this may not work in a night-club, lol.
Or pre-focus with the camcorder until the camera is used, best on infinity?
Whats needed is another button to act as the HD7 shutter button does when pressed half way to focus, or force the camera to maintain autofocus all the time like the camcorder.
I was up until 430 am last night trying different configs and Gcam APKs and the best I can do was using 6.1 or 6.2. No crashes but these 3 problems are present in every APK I tried so if there's anyone that has an APK that works for these, would love to hear it.
Problems:
1) Camera takes first picture quite fast. 2nd picture is slightly slower. 3rd and beyond is unbelievably slow. Slower than Night Sight. You can tell that the picture is being taken all at the same rate because the picture is showing up in the Gallery Icon, but the viewfinder is just loading and hanging.
What is the reason for this? (HDR Enhance is NOT on)
2) Turn off HDR+ and camera button doesn't even work. It works in Portrait and video but not in regular camera mode.
3) If I switch Cameras or modes (From regular camera to wide... or regular camera to Portrait and then back to regular) then it will take the picture fast. Which means that it's a software issue of lagging. Almost like it's lagging or having problems clearing memories while taking consecutive pictures?
Night Sight and actual photos look GREAT. Which is why it's pissing me off. The VG35 is a godly phone I just bought and I love everything about it. But the camera is lacking. And having a somewhat partially working gcam app just teases me that the picture could be better but isn't. The camera itself is good it's just the software that isn't so great.
LG's stock camera app puts on a lot of sharpness everything gets so blurry.
Any FULLY working apks out there that don't have issues with lag when taking pictures?
UPDATE: I tried cstark and a few others but the one that works for me fully (Night Sight, portrait, wide lens, correct colors, etc) is Arnova 1.7 here
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-suggested/#apk411
Arnova 1.6 also works.
So I managed to fidget with all the settings and basically... here is an update. AS IS, the Gcam with Arnova takes 2 pictures at regular speed. The 3rd picture on, it will show the circle and lag, taking about 5 full seconds to complete a picture. (There are other people on reddit who confirmed this) If you change the camera view in any way, OR press the home button and come back to camera, it resets allowing you take 2 more pictures at normal rates before it starts to slow down again.
By reducing HDR frame from 7 to 3, it allows you to take about 5 pictures before the slow down happens. So, it's not ideal but a workaround is to just take 5 pictures and press "portrait" and then come back to regular camera and it should allow for 5 more pictures at the regular rate.
HDR off also does not allow the camera to take a picture.
But that being said, does anyone know WHY it's happening? I don't know much about how android and the camera works but if we can figure out why the loading circle starts to slow down after a certain # of pictures, and WHY it resets when you change the camera view for a split second... I'd be happy to contribute in any way I can to get a fully useable Gcam app for us. V35s are so underrated with the High Quality Dac and if we get fully working Gcam, it would be a massive upgrade for anyone with a V35.
The pictures with Gcam are no joke.
The reasons for why the Gcam can only take a few pictures before it starts to load in the viewfinder very slowly, and why it resets when you "refresh" the camera view:
(These are complete uneducated guess but using logic based on what I'm been testing)
- It's not related to HDR. There was 1 apk that allowed me to take pictures with HDR off and it still did it.
I thought it was the HDR processing in the background that was queueing up but that's not the case.
- Changing camera view and switching back, RESETS this problem. Is there some sort of memory that needs to be cleared in the camera after each picture? Or after each # of pictures you can set that might address this problem?
There was another APK that I used that had the ability to increase the memory and it didn't do anything.
- I have a feeling it might be related to the buffer fix issue. The buffer fix, fixed the lag in the view finder. However, after taking a few pictures and hitting the limit, you can tell the loading circle will start to slow down because the viewfinder for a split second will lag as if the buffer fix was turned off.
So, maybe buffer fix is being reset or paused after a few pictures?
I wish I knew more about this stuff but if anyone has any ideas, would be great.
I read somewhere that the LG V35 and the G7 have similar cameras.
Check the G7 gcam thread for more info and assistance

Thank you Ill check out that thread
Thanks destoyer67, I was able to get a better Gcam situation using that link.
Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.2beta2.190904.1817
from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2-beta/#apk1121
This is the one that works very well. There is .a work around for the camera shutter loading really slow after 2 pictures.. and that is the setting called Reinit for HDR+. Just turn it on and after every time you take a picture, your camera and viewfinder will reinitialize and blink for a split second. Every picture taken is fast. You just have to wait a full second in between pictures or so.
Its way better and more useable and waiting 6 seconds for each picture.
Night Sight works without ANY lag, so does portrait, wide angle, etc.
Things that do not work at all:
- HDR Off mode
- Flash (goes off doesnt take a picture)
This is a useable version for me.
I also also narrow down and say the shutter loading slow is caused by something in the "buffer fix" setting. If you turn off buffer fix, the camera will take a picture INSTANTLY. Like the stock LG cam. However, the viewfinder has that crazy lag so you cant see what you're taking a picture of.
i tried above but when its low light it freezes. i'm on at&t v350 /w PIE (20c)

Are you on Pie or Oreo?
Mine's on Pie(20s) and everything works relatively well except for images taken with the wide angle lens: the red and blue color channels seem to be swapped, making photos looking weird.

I'm having the same issue. Is there a fix for this? Tried playing around with the settings but couldn't land on a solution.

OK, so I spent all day trying a bunch of versions, and finally found the one version that can get rid of the color issue and the lag between shots. Here it is:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2-beta/#apk1114
With this one, make sure to enable both the "Use Restart for AUX Mod" and "Use Reinit for HDR+" settings in the "HDR+ control" menu. Make sure to enable the AUX button as well, and disable Google photos. You'll see the screen go black a little bit after taking a photo, and then you can take another one and switch cameras. When you switch cameras, it reinits the camera app, which gets rid of the channel swap issue. For some reason the other version that was linked has an issue when both these settings are enabled, but it works great with this version.

Glad someone finally found the right one, but the link you gave us only leads to a list of many gcam apks, which one exactly did you mean? Also, by disabling google photos, you mean that we have to disable it completely or just disable it somehow from gcam?
The version that I linked to blinks when you first open the page. It's V2.2.1.190831.2245-fix-2. As far as disabling Google photos, it's a setting inside the camera app that uses Google photos as the viewer when you look at the photo you just took. However, this integration doesn't work, so disable that so it uses the built in viewer. You'll also need to go to the About screen in settings and turn on advanced options to see most of the settings I've listed.
Thanks! It really works great, taking pictures is fast and even night mode is quick.
Good job on finding this

Hello,
I have found this version works on the V35.... Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190831.2245-fix2.apk. Wide Angle, Regular, Night Sight. However getting the white balance just right for both indoors and outdoors is not easy, so I I actually use a dual install combo for slightly better results:
OUTDOORS/Regular - Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_BF_V1.6-Fu24_5Lens-02.apk - With this version I can customize sharpness without loading custom libs, etc. White balance is yellow indoors, and Night Sight has buffer problems so I don't use it.
INDOORS/Night Sight - Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk - This version does well indoors with Night Sight... outdoor photos are pinkish however
You *should* be able to install both these versions without overwriting each other...
Here is a link to more conversation (G7 forum)...

Near as I can tell this works perfect after following the indicated settings. No need for a buffer fix module, it's built in. Night sight works, viewfinder works properly in wide / normal etc etc.
thanks for mentioning it, there are so so many available that *might* work, a daunting task to try them all.
