Does anyone know of any Android Camera apps, particularly ones that work on a

control over focus and exposure.
Larry, it's a cell phone camera. People use them for facebook pictures.
people use DSLRs for Facebook pictures too, but just as points-n-shoots have a
subset of more serious (or at least more fiddly) users, same with smartphone
cameras
I bet
the interest in what you want is approximately one person world wide.
are you trolling? there's huge interest in manual camera control on smartphones
i can't help specifically, Larry, but i know several apps on iPhone have focus-
and exposure-lock capabilities (iPhones have fixed apertures, so exposure is
just shutter speed and ISO); that's as close as i think the APIs let you can
get to manual focus on iPhone, and i have reason to believe Android's APIs are
similar
after brief research it looks like the default camera app on S3 will lock focus
and exposure (both at once, unfortunately) if you press and hold the shutter
button, then reframe; with cyanogenmod you may be able to get true manual focus
