I recently switched to the Epic and love the device but the camera app on the epic is not very good. After you take a picture, there are no sliding animations, I really miss the auto rotate when you are viewing pictures using the camera app. Is there any way I can link the camera app to the gallery to view pictures, or is there another suggestion?
Thanks
Camera 360 is pretty cool
Is there a widget for the camera to snap a picture when pressed?
One that let you pre-select options would be stellar.

This is simply a joke, what is up with the camera app?? It is literally slower then my old nokia brick!
It takes 4(!) seconds for the camera to open when sliding to it from the lockscreen or opening via the icon, and it takes 2 damn seconds to rotate from horizontal to portrait and vice versa, that is insane and I cannot believe Google hadn't fixed this yet. Are you guys furious about it as I am?
P.s I wanna stay stock, and I don't think I'm asking too much..
Edit: one more thing: if my camera is set to auto flash and I will snap a picture without first tapping to focus about 60% of the time I will get a blue tinted photo. If I tap to focus first the photo will come out normal, I think they've made it that way so we'll get faster capturing but what they did was basically making the camera take a picture before it identifies the correct white balance, giving a blueish resault. Basically the whole camera app is broken in my opinion.
I wish they would fix it, its really slow, I don't use it often.

You have been very slight. It takes at least 4 seconds.
The new camera sucks, not only is it super slow but it takes forever to focus if it focuses at all before taking a picture. And when the shot is taken you dont see the result on the display as in the old camera and one has to go into gallery first to see how the photo turned out.
And this stupid new menu.... It may look fancy but half the time the control is out of the display or covered by the finger. Worst menu ever and should have been done properly or not at all.
In short i hate the new camera.

R: What is up with 4.2.1 camera?!
I really like the new UI but the app it's really bad optimized, it really sucks. It's been a while now since the release of 4.2 and still there's no fix. I, personally, excepted more from Google.
I don't even like the new interface. The pop up menus suck, some of the options are always hidden behind my finger.
Hmm did Google ever revert something like this in the past or do you think they will stick with this crap no matter what?

I actually trusted Google to sort these kind of things pretty quickly as the community is very aware of minor glitches and such, but this camera app is above all glitches, and they're doing nothing..
I also miss the HDR mode in the app. The only reason why I don't change to a different camera app is the integration with the OS.
I have to say I only have one problem with the camera app and that's the ~1 sec freeze when changing orientation.
It does open a tad slow from the lock screen (~3 sec for me) but I think it's bearable. Opening from the icon seems to be about a second. Focus hasn't been an issue for me yet. The new menu can be operated by taps if you don't like having your finger in the way - or - you can just tap and hold to open the menu then slide your finger out past the icons and operate it with your finger out of the way. Finally, not having the little picture preview for the last is a bit annoying but it is far out-shined by being able to swipe to the right and see a large version of that picture (plus previous pictures) while still keeping the camera active and not having to open the gallery app.
Just sharing my opinion - I prefer this version over the previous app.
EDIT: For what it's worth I'm on Purity v4.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108705)
I'm in total agreement! The UI is fine but the length of time it takes to change orientation and even snap a picture is ridiculous.

Hmm... there is a delay when you try and take a picture? I don't see that on mine unless it is still focusing or using the flash, of course.
I was taking a picture yesterday and my phone freez and restart

i tried that tap operation for the menu, but the only way to get the menu open and staying open is to keep the finger on the screen.
is that maybe a rom option?

Tap the circle in the bottom right corner then tap to choose options only works with a finger on the screen? I don't know if my camera apk was modified to do this... it's just the one that came on Purity ROM.
Cant we just pull the 4.1.2 camera and gallery app ?
Or is it that 4.2.1 camera is hardcoded in Android due to photophere?

No, that does work on stock. Thanks, I never payed any attention to the circle in the corner. That does make the camera a little more usable.
Just tossing out there toroplus 4.2.1 ....my camera is great, perfectly fine, the rotation delay isnt a delay at all, its exactly the same delay is if i were on homescreen and rotating. Strange that such problems are noted ...

Sounds like maybe you are a new Android user. It's true, the rotation delay is the same as the delay seen when rotation other apps. This would not seem to be a problem to a new user, but if you were used to the old camera app where there was no delay at all when rotating then it clearly sucks.

Hey, so I downloaded the camera and the gallery apk's but when I try to install them through root explorer I get popup notifications saying there was a problem parsing the package. Any ideas or help? I'd really like to check these out

Hello,
My phone si running CM 10.2 and everything works just fine except when I want to rotate my camera (selfie mode) outside the camera app, it does not open the camera app like on Color os you can activate that option.
Is there any options in CM that should be switched on to enable automatic camera app when rotating camera outside camera app ?
Thanks
That's currently a ColorOS only feature as far as I know.
I don't believe anyone else has added that into their rom yet.
