just to let you know that I'm listening and actively working on these issues. Right now I just finished implementing a couple of improvements:
1) there is now a small overlay to indicate that the timer is running
2) I disabled the animation control and it is set to off by default
3) and most importantly, Timelapse now turns off the sensor between shots to save power. This will probably need some controls because it is not worth the extra latency if you're only going to take a couple of shots or if the interval between the shots is extremely short. I still have to implement these controls, but that should be easy. This should address your complaints about power saving.
furthermore, I plan to add an option to skip saving the DNGs and just save JPEGs.
I would release this new version right now but, since I still want to implement these few things and, it's late and I don't feel like packaging right now, you'll have to wait a bit longer.
In the meanwhile, if you could give me your opinions on what kind of controls do you think are convenient for the "sensor off" setting, it would be appreciated. I'm thinking of a minimum number of shots to be taken and maybe a minimum interval between the shots.
Anyway, I just wanted to give you these updates.
Is there by any chance if you going to add flash led support? HDR shots took multiple pictures and didn't combine the images into one.
Also could you add black and white shot into the sensor mode?
Please add some sort notification that the camera time lapse is activated. It is hard to know whether it is actually working or not. Press the camera button and message say TimeLapse is activated, number of shots taken out of xx value.
The dng thumpnail is annoying, it displayed inside the Photos album. Could be great if you could get rid of them too, remove dng raw file and that will save space.
Not sure what else to think of at the moment.

They are the GUI versions.I'm loving this app very much, I cant wait for it to be polished.
I have problems with version 0.17-1 so I use 0.2-1.
0.17-1 makes my phone restart on its own after a few minutes, it may be due to the power kernel I think. The version of Fcam it was built on just doesn't work well with it.
I downloaded the latest fcam drivers yesterday that are meant to be compatible with power kernel but it still happens.
0.2-1 works very nicely but seems to stop on its own at around 600 photos even when set to 900+. I like this version more due to imo a more intuitive gui. The only thing missing is the auto focus/exposure adjust but starting the normal cam app first solves this.
I've been taking timelapse photos of a construction site going on next door to my work and have had made some pretty cool videos so far but its annoying I have to constantly keep an eye on it to restart it when it stops.
I'll post them up later on.
Keep up the great work tpaixao, this is a fantastic app you are building.
