[Android 5.0+] Bacon Camera

fgnm · Nov 20, 2015

Finally it's here! I'm so exited to open this thread

As I promised, I've worked very hard to give you the best camera experience, now it's ready (almost xD)

Today I present you Bacon Camera, the first camera app optimized for the OnePlus One!
It includes all features of my previous project with many other additions, bug fixes and a brand new UI for manual controls!

And it's on Google PlayStore too!

Bacon Camera now officially support LG G3 running Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Standard version

DEMO version

First Camera app with almost full manual controls for OnePlus One and LG G3 (running stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow)
With Bacon Camera you will be able to see how powerful is your camera module, optimized with all possible features! (Without Lollipop Camera2 APIs, of course)

Manual Controls supported for OnePlus One are:
- Full Manual Focus
- Full Manual White Balance
- Full Manual Exposure Compensation
- Semi-Manual ISO speed
- Full Manual Exposure Time (up to 64sec!)
- Bayer RAW and DNG support

Manual Controls supported for LG G3 (>= Android 6.0 Marshmallow) are:
- Full Manual Focus
- Full Manual Exposure Compensation
- Semi-Manual ISO speed
- Bayer RAW and DNG support

*** (Only LG G3) Support for Laser Focus and DSLR Advanced Features: UbiFocus, ChromaFlash, OptiZoom ***

*** (OnePlus One) Support to ClearImage and 50Mpx shot. ***

A new exlusive algorithm tells you the distance between the camera and manual-focused objects.

Many other improvements and tweeks makes this app unique and perfect in any conditions!

Bacon Camera is designed for stock OnePlus One firmware (CyanogenOS 12.1), however people with custom ROMs can use it too but sometimes with some limitation (according to the driver inside your ROM), and LG G3 running stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Since this app is still in beta state there are still some know bugs
- Sometimes the app can crash or freeze (in any case clear camera from recent apps).
- RAW format and slow shutter speed (> 2sec) causes a freeze. Reboot the phone -Camera Driver issue, only manufacturer can fix this-
- Flash needs "Zero Shutter Lag" always to be ON (Only OnePlus One)
- Video in HSR works only with a CAF based ROM (not the stock one)

For any question/bug report, or if you want to have a support to other divices, please refer here:

Enjoy

Open Source Licenses:

https://github.com/troop/FreeDcam

If you are on stock CyanogenOS 12.1 you can still use my patched media_profile.xml to have a better video quality and replace the original file in "/system/etc/" folder (do a backup first).

As I wrote in the description, this app is designed for OPO with Cyanogen OS 12.1, but it will works also on stock CM or CM based on CAF (with some limitation: shutter speed up to 2sec, and no ClearImage, HD or SuperMacro)

That's all guys, hope you enjoy it! And of course leave a good PlayStore review

Before you ask: Yes the app itself is not free.. but consider this as a small support to an 18-years old student that want just follow his dreams :fingers-crossed:
When I will find the time I will make two different versions, anyway are just few Euro so, Really Thank you for Understanding

All features (manual focus included) not require any modded/patched HAL, just stock one.

As always don't forget to report bugs and/or what you want to be implemented, I will do my best to continue to improve this experience

Current To-Do-List is:
- Triaxial Leveling
- Photosphere (harder than imagined)

OPO - CM13 Nightlies High Res image fix
According to new Cyanogen's decisions 50/32/24mpx image interpolation will not be available on stock CM13 Nightlies, I've prepared a temporary fix for this while waiting official CyanogenOS 13 for the OnePlus One:
- Flash HIGH_RES_TEMP_FIX_CM13.zip via recovery
- Reboot, and enjoy

No need to do a backup because if something goes wrong or you simply want revert this just flash the same ZIP.

Ops, first app on play store, my bad

Oxygen OS for OPO is based on android 5.0.2, I'm uploading new version with a smaller minSdk (current is 5.1), sorry.

EDIT:
Just pushed a new small update.. Please wait while google refresh new spec

Great to see, but XDA has a rule about paid apps.. You really need to look into the rules to keep this thread open..

Again my bad, apologize me. I should post this thread in "Paid Software Announcement and Discussion " right?
Sorry again, please can some moderators change it to correct section, or I've to close this and open a new one?

What are the main differences between your app and camera fv5? I have paid for camera fv5 and would like to know the features which are better in this app.

Not only was I the first post after the OP, but I was probably the first purchaser!

Nice to see another camera for our OPO

Just bought it and while making a little test, found a few bugs , I'll have more time tomorrow to test it outdoors and give more feedback then.

bug1: Preview a pic, zoom in and press back. Can only see half of the UI (can't take a screenshot for some reason), the other half is black. It's like the UI moved to the right.

bug2: I have automatic upload to my pc. and some pictures were uploaded in landscape. I took them in portrait while the OPO was on a dock. Don't know what I did, so I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow

bug3: RAW enabled and no dng file after taking a shot, or I can't find it

Can't find super macro as mentioned in description.
Volume keys (blue bar) do exactly what? just curious.

Loved the manual focus and slow shutter didn't worked for me.

Nice work so far

I'm on Resurrection Remix rom btw.

Thanks for your report
First one is a bug, for the second one I've never had this kind of issue I'll wait other impression. The third is not a bug simply you have to set RAW format manually

so set picture format to any Bayer and then switch "save DNG raw", BTW I've just realized that maybe this is not the perfect name for this function because this is the conversion from .raw file into a .dng (.raw files are real raw with Qualcomm encoding). technically you can manually convert Bayer in whatever you want.

Super macro is activated by default when you use the zoom
It's strange that slow shutter doesn't work.. Are you sure that your ROM is based on a CM build?
I personally tested all functions with stock COS and base CM 12.1

Camera FV5 is a great app too but it lacks in full manual controls.. The only one supported is manual shutter speed, instead with this camera you can control all manual settings a side for ISO speed that is locked in the HAL driver

When I change to Bayer, I get this message "Raw picture format is not supported in zls mode, change to jpeg"
Oh, just found it, needs Zero Shutter Lag disabled to work.
Noticed that it saves 2 files, a .raw (16.71MB) and .dng (24.76MB). Why save 2 big files? Dng would be enough for me

Is it possible to save a jpeg too? So we can have a preview of the photo. I'm only able to open the dng file on Lightroom in my pc. The Lightroom app version won't open it.

Thought there was an option for super macro, like clear image and HD, forgot the zoom ^^
I'll test slow shutter better when I have a chance.

First app I ever bought! Make it count, and good work!

EDIT: bug found (i'm using sultanxda's 5.1.1 CAF ROM) changing the shutter speed does nothing, even setting to auto does nothing, it always take the photo with the highest shutter speed making the photo almost pitch black

fgnm · Nov 22, 2015

Just pushed a new update to solve the bug reported by @paulissimo with some other improvements especially for slow shutter speed, It will be available in a few hours.
@tigobrata CAF ROMs has always some problems with slow shutter speed because it's limited only up to 2sec, if you are on CAF is better to use "accurate shutter speed" by pressing the "ms" button under Exposure time slider

P.S.
I'm really fighting to keep this app online.. First Google, then yesterday a cracker tried to brake my Google Play dev account.. 30sec more and I would have lost everything.. Someone from Yemen.. I've his phone number now

Just updated it t v0.2.
No UI bug now.
Slowshutter is working fine here, I'll try it again later at night.
Did you changed anything about Raw/Dng? There's an option to convert Raw to Dng, which is nice, but I suggest deleting the. raw file if this option is enabled.
Another sugestion, if possible, is to create a jpeg along with the raw/dng. We could preview it and delet it in case the picture is bad (out of focus or something). As it is we can't see the picture and have to wait till I get home to see it on my PC.
Also latest version of snapseed suports raw editing but only works if you have a jpeg file too.

I'll keep you posted if anything comes up, keep up the good work. :good:
Damn hackers, probably a lazy kid who as nothing else better to do.

Yes it's possible to have a jpeg with DNG but it's a bit harder, I haven't done yet because there is still something strange in RAW capturing.. For example if you shot a picture in any Bayer format without enable DNG conversion and with Zero Shutter Lag to ON the .raw generated is around 6MB and can be viewed in gallery and tuned in Lightroom for mobile, instead if you shot without zero shutter lag with some Bayer you will have a .raw that cannot be viewed even on PC, but has to be converted in DNG , also the result is different but I can't say which is better
Anyway I noticed that Bayer + Zero Shutter Lag + Clear Image/High Resolution works!
Tell me what do you think

Still hope that you can add the jpeg in a near future.
A 25MB DNG should be better then a 6MB RAW, but I haven't tried opening the 6MB one to compare. I'll try your sugestion.

Another sugestion: an option to restore all values to default. After messing around with the app, I can't remember all the default values

Trial version is enough for me, I hope you'll support it as the main versione. Thank you so much for your work!
