Got your email thank you.
I make the application remember the orientation on the application start and cannot be changed. Changing the orientation will cause auto shot stopped. So for now I make the application orientation cannot be changed once it run.
It support landscape & portrait. Landscape preview also fixed.

wow that was quick :) loooking forward to testing it with those features! :D

It will be available in 1-3 hours :D
Somehow the full screen (removing the notification/status bar is not working on all phones - possible depends on OS version).

Actually on 0.0.7 I already implement touch to capture on black screen.. Touch it on black mode and check there's new image capture.
No info popup about the capture because it is black mode.

Thank you for the feedback. Can you give more detail
Are you on stock ROM? And do you mean the preview image is only black
Do the image capture still working even the preview is not showing?

I'm currently checking the max resolution one, there's might be limitation about the capture speed.

Vibrate is a really good idea, I'll add it in the setting to turn on/off vibration on image capture.

Fantastic app, only i can't use full camera resolution (5M) just 1280x720.Also as it's mentioned before if i recall correctly would be nice to take pictures in black screen by touching the screen.

Xperia mini st15i, stock 2.3.4 rom, rage kernel.

Installation successfull on my Galaxy SII I9100
Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 stock,
Kernel version XWLPF rooted by ChainFire :good:
Launcher stock Touch Wiz

Feedback:
The app works quite well.
I'm able to shot pictures, even "auto" mode but, when I tap the "back" button, my screen turns in black but not freezing the System, no killing app needed.
I only must press the phisical home button to back to desktop.

Suggestions:
Maybe you can make the on-screen buttons more clear, for example you can add a bright (white or yellow) border.

This is for now, anyway excellent work jimmod :cool:

Installed on HD2 with JB 4.1.2.

Works fine, after setting capture size at 800x480.

Default 1280x720 didn't give me a preview window, pressing capture gave a FC.

Keep up the good work!

    FAQ

    Q: Why is the image result is blurred and out of focus ?
    A: Try to enable autofocus in setting. And try to not move the phone when taking picture for better result
    Q: Can I open other app while taking pictures or recording video? Or turn off my screen?
    A: Yes, you just need to press the action button (auto / video) then minimize. You can restore the UI back by clicking the notification. Other way is setup the volume button action, then you can minimize first and trigger the image capture or video recording with volume button.
    Q: Run SCOS but no button shown only floating image preview
    A: I'm guessing you are using Xiaomi phones or MIUI ROM, you need to enable floating windows option at Android setting - Application Manager - SCOS - checked option about floating window
    Q: Using high-res image or video recording causing shutter sound, what can I do?
    A: While SCOS try it best to disable the shutter sound still some phone model forcing the shutter sound and SCOS still depends on the API provided by the ROM/OS. If your phone rooted you can remove the shutter sound file located at /system/media/audio/ui, find audio file contain 'shutter'
    Q: My video seems corrupt, SCOS was crashed when recording/the phone shutdown because battery empty. What can I do?
    A: Sorry to hear that. Some user reported that they can recover part of the video with recovery video tool, so the best bet is you try install recovery video tool for your PC/Mac. I'm adding shutdown handling on V0.4.1 to prevent video corrupt on empty battery.
    Q: I've bought SCOS donate app, do I need to buy SCOS2 donate key?
    A: No, just email me about it. I'll send you SCOS1 donate key.
    Q: It's been a while since last update, do you still maintain it?
    A: Yes, although SCOS is not my main job. Join the beta tester to get updated with latest 'quite stable' feature. I'll try to publish it to beta every time I add new feature.
    Q: Can I contribute new language or update language (new string / wrong translation)?
    A: Sure, all SCOS translation is from contributor. I will appreciate it a lot and it will help non-english speaker use SCOS.
    Q: I have great ideas for SCOS
    A: Cool, share it here or email it to me through setting - send feedback.
    Q: I found bug, crash or some feature not working
    A: Sorry to hear that, share it here or email it to me through setting - send feedback.
