Android 4.2 Camera app with Photo Sphere now available for Galaxy Nexus

Introduced on Monday, Android 4.2 brings a slew of new enhancements and features that rectify the minor jump in the version number. One of the most–if not the most–heavily touted features is Google’s entirely redesigned Camera and Gallery interface. The new build brings with it an intuitive options ring that pops up wherever you place your finger, allowing you to easily control the focus and various user settings. Also new is Photo Sphere, which has the ability to capture 360-degree images, similar to Google Maps Street View.

You may be thinking, “all this is great, except I don’t have a Nexus 4.” This may be true, but if you have a Galaxy Nexus, the entire new app has been ripped from Android 4.2, and  packaged into a nice .apk for easy installation. Hit the break for download links.

Fotolio is a Photo Portfolio For Tablets

Looking for a lightweight photo gallery and portfolio app that takes advantage of the larger screen of your tablet? XDA member Apachi2k was, and when he was not satisfied with what he found, he wrote his own and called it Fotolio. Optimized for 7 or 10 inch tablets, Fotolio was created as a way for photographers and artists to showcase their portfolios. The developer explains:

I am a photographer and know a little bit of programming from high school days. I love the Xoom tablet and first thing I thought of using it for was for my photography portfolio. I soon realized that the built-in gallery is way overkill for something like a portfolio which gave me an idea to develop a simple app suited to showcase art or photography portfolios.

The app is pretty no-frills with the only real options being what folder you want to browse, what layout to show, and a slide show mode. This helps keep the app running smoothly while getting the job done. Check out screen shots and download links after the break.

The folks over at androidpolice seem to have found a few icons pointing to a photo editor within the Android gallery app for the upcoming ICS update. While they’re not 100% to be in the next version of everyone’s favorite operating system, they do bring up the point that a lot of work went into something just for it to be discarded. A few effects are shown after the break, and the tool icons can be found in the source. Who else can’t wait for tomorrow night? » Read the rest

Exclude unwanted images from your Gallery with Gallery Excluder

XDA user, knox420, has created a nifty app called Gallery Excluder. I think everyone has the problem with their gallery in that unwanted images show up from other apps that are installed. Gallery Excluder allows you to check off any folders that you do not want to show up in your gallery. It is a very simple interface. Once you check the folders, hit the menu and “update media gallery.”

I will say that I would rather see the choices to be for selecting what to include in the gallery rather than what to exclude. Another complaint is that there isn’t a way to select subdirectories.

The developer plans on releasing it in the market soon. For now you can help him by hitting the source link to download the apk and letting him know about any bugs or ideas you may have.
