AOSP are the only ones that work with little flaws. Try searching for camera apps here but most of them have a lot of extra features which we might not find useful.

Download one of the many camera apps from the play store, for instance Camera Zoom FX is popular

Seems to me you're looking for Samsung's signature slightly-exaggerated-color-depth-and-out-of-control-shadow thing, which is pretty common in people coming from a Galaxy phone. I'd recommend Vignette on GPlay; that app will get you the picture quality you're looking for.
Stock camera is solid if you ask me and I take high-end photographs for a living, haha--no fluff no nonsense, it's all in the know-how etc

Google Hangout stretched video on Nexus 4

So for whatever reason my video is stretched vertically in portrait and horizontally on landscape whenever I'm using Google Hangouts with the front facing camera. I'm going to test with other video chat services like Skype but I'm wondering why that's happening.
I'm not sure whether it's hardware or software but I'd suspect the latter. I'm already rooted so I might just flash a new ROM like PA 2.9 to see if that fixes it. Or can I just flash the camera app again? Any ideas?
I think it's software, not like it when you use Gtalk, hopefully sort it in next update.

Same thing here.. I look weird and all long
But yea i think it is software bug where it is trying to get the resolution of the camera app.
Oh good it's not just me.
I'm relieved
I can see this with both the front and rear-facing cameras. Initially I thought it was my imagination, so I took a couple of screen-grabs of the video with a coin in shot and drew a true circle (blue) and the now-elliptical coin outline (red) over the top.
The images confirm that video in Google Plus hangouts is definitely stretched. Don't see any issue in the regular camera, and GTalk video also looked OK to a superficial check.
Nothing to add except that it is happening for me as well...
Same thing here.
Going to keep an eye out if it's fixed in 4.2.2

I am on 4.2.2 and it's not fixed yet.
I can't believe this hasn't been fixed! Use hangouts a lot, it's a software fix as gtalk app is fine....... No one in the Google house must not be using hangouts on a Nexus 4!

Question I want to ask, are people getting unclear audio on hangouts or that the other side gets echo's? Compare to the iPad version which seems to be fine I get a lot of problems on the Nexus 10 and 4.

Did anyone find a fix for this? or know of the problem?
It is a defect for the Nexus 4 only. Just got to be patient for Google to fix it in their App. Wait until after Google I/O

Nexus 4 port?

Anyone know if there is one?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I don't know if there is one, but it would be nice if there was a port.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
there is only the x86 based sdk which you can download and start develop from sailfishos.org . good luck.
I am more of a electronic person than a software/programmer I know a bit but not enough. I can look into though.
NEXUS 4
ROM: CM 10.1 Nightlies
Kernel: Faux123
Theme: Crystal 2
AW: Nexus 4 port?
There are no ports or images for any devices. There's only one image for the Nokia N950 that you can build yourself from meet source in theory. But afaik you can't get the Jolla UI. You could try to build mer with nemo mobile for a nexus device. That sounds doable to me.

Jolla is a group consisting of mostly ex-Nokia employees. Considering that, if their culture is anything like Nokia, they are more worried about selling hardware. MeeGo/Maemo was open sourced out of their control. I will be interested to see if we ever see their proprietary UI open sourced. The good news is that as was pointed out, all Sailfish apps will be able to run on MeeGo/Maemo derivatives like Mer.
MAYBE only MAYBE i will port it for GT-i9000 and someone can port it for nexus ... Only MAYBE when i got no exams and so on .. Dont make any hopes it is only mabe

Jolla acctually demostrated a Nexus 7 with Sailfish ported during the conference in China, doesn't function 100% well. But you can at least see the possiblity.

They are hardware guys without hardware. I don't think they have ANY hardware partners yet. I have only seen it running on old Nokia hardware, which I guess says something for its speed.
They love showing off that ambiance thing, but you can do the same effect with CSS and JavaScript on a web page, so I question if what they are showing is not just a trick, or if it is REALLY the OS, because the SDK has NONE of the interface they keep showing off.

So their own device doesn't count?
Wanted to post new youtube videos, but as I don't have 10 posts I can't. Open youtube and search for: Jolla Launches First Sailfish OS Smartphone - Hands-On Demo
You can preorder the device already: jolla.com
sound good :laugh:

Double tap to unlock idea is worthless in my opinion. But I'd love to see that OS in Nexus devices.

You can get double tap to unlock with the PGM app. Though that's for specific devices. Trust me, double tap to unlock is awesome!

[Q] Note 10.1 port for Nexus 10?

Has anyone heard any news at all about a possible Note 10.1 port for N10? I'm waiting for some of that MULTI-WINDOW love on this beast of a machine. I've Google searched to no avail and have been scouring the various developer forums over countless websites in search of this white whale. Some has got to be working on this. If I knew how, I would be.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
The multi windows is so buggy... just by watching some of the reviews it doesn't work half the time, or not in the way that the user wants it to work - switching between the apps is good enough for me.
I only asked asked about it because I am a college student and would love to have my chemical equations pdf open in one window while I'm inputing stats into the calculator side by side.

Plus, I know it won't be as simple as porting the multi-window function. The entire touchwiz sytle rom would have to be ported.

You can give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite
It's not exactly what you want, but close to it. Also a multiwindow browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appestry.split_browser_trial
I saw that... So i guess maybe one day...

Nice. This at least allows me to use the calculator while I'm viewing my PDF. Limited though it may be, it works.

There was a thread somewhere about this, from a guy who was starting to work on it and wanted a hand. I don't have the link for it but I think the development was called Cornerstone, could try googling that?

What mode do you shoot your pictures with?

I seem to get quite a bit of noise in my lite shoots. I wish there was a manual mode to set iso and so on. I use auto and none of the other modes interest me besides hdr, but that doesn't work for kids that can't sit still

All of them except golf. I find the best group face to be amazingly useful for group shots.
I'm massively annoyed by the removal of night mode and turning it into that stabilization option. Lowlight pics look like everyone is made of grease pens.
Auto ,360 photoshpere and best face are my fave and most used.
Is there any app that allows manual mode

Plenty of third party apps do. Just browse Play store. Not familiar with many other than stock JB AOSP camera.

ProCamera, FV5, Shotcontrol, ZoomFX.
I absolutely detest the Stock camera. I'm a professional photographer, I don't need the moron who has never seen a camera to decide for me what setting I must use!

I use the app very much and have never had a noticeable drain in neither use nor for non-use. Greenify looks wonderful. But everyone as he wants, so no one is forced to use the app. Personally I do 1000 times better than the FB garbage
I think the new design is very interesting.. I'm excited to see how the other GApps are going to look like. For me it's very interesting that they removed the navigation drawer..

Now if only Google will get some consistency on a UI standard across their Google products. Every damn app has a different ui lol. What is the Google design team smoking over there? Lol.
Hehe yes, it's true but on the other side it's good to see they update the apps and the most updates are good updates
Hangouts , G+ are fine now , Gmail i don't use but looks ok. Maybe in the future we see a package of the apps that visually harmonize

I wish. One thing I love is consistency. The one thing that Google lacks. I think each app has its own team. They need to collaborate for a collective ui.
