Do you know of an Android app that will let you browse raw files (DNG,
at least)? This would be particularly useful on tablet computers (I'm
interested in the coming-late-summer Toshiba).

I must confess I have neither an android nor an Iphone. I have a cell 
phone that doesn't take photos, send or receive text messages or browse 
the internet ... all it does is let me make telephone calls.


I run it The Photographers Ephemeris on my laptop.

But, the person who introduced me to the program had in on one of those 
phones (although, I suspect his was an iphone because he was always 
cussing at it because he couldn't get service, so he must have been on 
AT&T ...)


I just googled for "The Photographers Ephemeris for Android" and it 
appears there is a version of it available.


Or at least one of those "App Site" websites said you could buy a 
version for the Android from them.

Re: Android Camera Apps Suggestions

The camera on my first gen moto droid is so full of suckage that it's moot.
I mostly use my camera to geotag locations when I'm shooting with my other 
camera. I upload them to flickr then can drag my other photos to that location. 
 The other thing I use my camera for is when I'm doing shopping cart 
engineering at the hardware store and want to note products and prices for 
later reference.
By the way, shop savvy can be extremely handy when at a store that does 
pricematching.

There has got to be a handy thread/forum for "must have" android apps, because 
the question comes up every time someone buys one.

If you're looking to program apps yourself, ping me offlist, setting up the dev 
environment is a pain. Let's just say that eclipse isn't the worst of it.

FxCamera is kind of the Android answer to Hipstamatic.  It's not as
full-featured, but it's worth a look.  There's also a Photoshop app
that allows for some basic image manipulation.

I'm not terribly familiar with HTC's offerings, but Android in general
seems to, or at least used to (I'm on 2.1), suffer from a lack of file
browser.  ES File Explorer and ES Task Manager are musts.

If you do the social networking thing, Tweetdeck is nice way to
integrate them all into one app.  Facebook's official app is a
resource hog, Twidroyd isn't too terribly bad and the official
Foursquare app is actually pretty good these days.

If you Geocache you absolutely must, without a doubt, install c:geo.
One developer, on his own time, has built this application that not
only beat the official app to market, but it's still better.  Plus,
the Geocaching overlords are so hell bent on killing it that you're
not even allowed to write "c:geo" in their forums without suffering
the wrath of the, dundundaah, forum moderators.

I use MyTracks to log my bike rides.  Christie gave me a fancy,
highfalutin GPS device for Christmas, but the phone is with me anyway,
so that's what I generally use.

A couple others that have come in handy from time to time:  Apps
Installer for installing packages you didn't get from the Market,
Barcode Scanner (you really need this), Quick Settings, and Overbite
for Android.  I'm not sure how anyone can live without Overbite.  It
isn't in the Market, but you can get it here:
http://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/d?android

As far as I know, every app I've mentioned is free (as in beer).

Miserere, I don't have any photo apps on my phone, but these ones I use:

1. CoolReader - for e-Reading
2. Blik Calendar Widget - for calendar
3. AnySoft Keyboard for Heb/Eng/Russian done most conveniently
4. aCar - for tracking my car's expenses
5. AppFolders - for organizing the apps in the convenient way
6. Dolphin browser - for browsing
7. Dropbox - for file exchange
8. Engadget - for fun
9. EStrong File Explorer - as the name has it - file explorer
10. Quick profiles - for switching WiFi and BT the way that is 
convenient for me

11. Quick system Info Pro - for app killer and general manager
12. SuperDial - for alphabetic dialing

Please notice that mine is "ancient" Android 1.5 Cupcake cell phone so 
that it is likely that some of the functions that I have from 3rd party 
apps very well may be built-in to your phone.


YMMV.

I'll be curious to read this.  I'm planning on switching from my Storm

Android, of course, but then the problem is which Android.  I'm torn

My Android photo apps are:

Photographic light meter by Tom Reay
Does light metering and depth of field calculation.

Sunrise by Ixonos Kosie
Gives the time to sun rise or sun set in your present location.  It's
useful for timing when you want to be sure you get to a location with
the lighting just right - particularly when travelling.

I did find a studio lighting design app,but I didn't use it and needed
the room on the phone (I have a lot of apps).

Android Camera Apps Suggestions

2011-05-09 Thread Miserere
Hi All,

'Twas a glorious day on Friday when I finally got rid of my BlackBerry
Storm and took charge of a HTC Incredible 2 working under Android. Now
THIS is what a smartphone was meant to be.

Amongst other goodies, the phone has a stupid 8MP camera; but I'm not
complaining because unlike my BB camera, at least I can select ISO on
this one.

I know a few of you have Android powered phones and was wondering if
there are any camera apps that you could recommend. Everyone talks
about the cool iPhone camera apps, but I never hear anything about
Android ones.

Let me hear it; what camera/photography apps are you using and why
would you recommend them. And if there are any non-photography apps
that you think are useful, by all means veer this topic OT and let me
know about them.

Thanks!
