Silly face effects on stock camera - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

One thing I play with all the time is the silly effects in video mode for the stock ics camera.
But is there anyway to use these effects also in camera mode?
Also Why would it only be allowed in video recording mode

i dont know why its not available in still mode, but i freaking love the silly effects. i use them all the time and sit there laughing at myself like a nut.

I can't find a way and yes it seems silly to me also!

YEAH! wth. This is really backwards.
could it be a patent problem? *cough* nintendo DSi *cough*

Wish Google updated to support camera mode too...
Do you guys know any 3rd party app that has the same effects?

You are supposed to be able to do video and record pics by tapping the screen. Does this work with this effect?

I cant take a picture too. Maybe a screenshot will do the trick for now.

Any way to reverse front camera?

So when I look at myself using the front facing camera it looks right. Then when I snap the picture it flips. On my EVO it did not do this. I looked in the settings to see if it was something I could change but I did not see anything. This is really annoying to me.
Am I missing it or is there a workaround out there?

The flip is to adjust it like a mirror.
Have you not figured it out?

What? My previous phone did not do this. I just want this phone to exhibit the same behavior.

The front camera shows a mirror image, but when you take a pic it takes it as the camera sees it, so you are actually taking a self portrait.
IIRC, the Evo would always take a mirror image with the front camera.
So are you saying you want to take a pic with your front camera and see it as a mirror image? The camera won't do this that I can see, but you can easily flip the pic with the photo editor app that comes on the E4GT.

Why do you want such a feature? O_ o.... that makes absolutely no sense to me, when you can just take the image you took, and flip it with any or current pic editor, i understand that you might want it automated, but..er.. what i don't get is why would you want such a feature lol.
Look for my fixed camera in the apps and themes forum. The international galaxy s2 has this as an option. The zip I posted will give you what your looking for.
This bugs me as well...

Thanks.... Your modified camera fixed it! Also, like that when selecting the focus point, the flash lights up to capture focus. I didnt see that feature in the stock camera but its nice for taking a picture in dim lit areas where it can be hard to focus.

It appears that 4.0.3 has fixed the camera issues

You know how everyone is complaining about the camera, mainly because photos come out blurry/not sharp. The thing causing that was VERY slight movement when clicking the button to take the pic. It seemed to come out of focus very easily.
Now, with 4.0.3, I can get sharp pictures even with more movement. It's not so "touchy" anymore and stays in focus.
Anyone else notice?

I hope it's true. There's more than one camera bug.
Im surprised how well it focuses in low light with out flash.

You know they could offer a shooting mode that used the phones sensors to detect camera (phone) movement and hold off the shutter until motion is minimized to improve sharpness. You might want a mode that does this but other modes, like sports, that don't delay the shutter.

Good to hear, what about the white haze when near a window. Now, can anyone recommend a 4.0.3 ROM without any visual mods?

You can change the boot animation yourself. Here's a link to a 720p version of the default ICS animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380655&highlight=animation
EDIT: I've found the 720p version of the original Galaxy Nexus boot animation lags a bit, so if you're not happy with that one here's a link to a compilation of boot animations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364044&highlight=nexus+s+boot+animation
My personal favourite so far is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764
wish google would add an option for the instant shutter or delayed snap after autofocus. 90% of the bad pictures are taken because the person did not either tap to focus or held down the camera button for it to focus
Same goes with panos, I wish they gave you an option for auto panning versus the snap then move, like sgs2 did
Switched to redemption a 4.0.3 ROM and now pics are a lot better. Very impressed.

Hmmm have you tried using a stock rom?
Auto focus doesn't work for me either. it SEEMS to be working on video mode, but definitely doesn't work on photo mode. I believe it has never been working for me, and I always thought why doesn't samsung phone camera autofocus well like my low end HTC phone (HTC One V). I'm on AOKP nightly, which is actually pretty stable right now.
On HTC phone, even when just previewing the pictures to be taken, it autofocuses when the camera gets closer to an object, but this one doesn't do anything. When I press the shutter button, it takes and sometimes focuses correctly, sometimes blurry (especially when too close to the object, which is not a problem with HTC phone). I can long press the shutter key and i will be able to see if it focuses or not before releasing the key, but why doesn't this adjust right away when preview is shown without touching the shutter key?

App for getting still pics from video?

Does anyone know an app that will let you pull pics from video the way the HTC One X does? I'm not talking about taking stills while recording, but afterward when viewing.

I remember reading a review before I bought my S3 that said it had that same feature as the One X, I was sad to find it didn't exist on the phone. Would love to find something to do this.
Try frame grabber it cost money but works good

The stock camera well do this. Look above the record button for the vid cam, should be a slightly smaller camera button. That one will take pics while shooting video.

I don't beleive this is what the person is asking about. In a commercial for HTC, there is someone capturing still pictures from a video playback, not while actually recording.

Well rotate the screen, lock the auto rotate, enter the camera, turn the phone back to the position you want to hold it..
It should work?
But when i lock it, it automatically returns to portrait !
Hmm I donno then, it seems to work for me?
Would have thought it possible to do an app like that. Would be handy as hell thinking about it

An app would be perfect tho... or feauture of the camera..
Would be awesome if some1 developed this app
The funny thing is while watching that YouTube video. The playback does exactly that. Why not be able to record the same way, cant be that hard for someone who actually knows what they are doing.
