With a better camera, comes the need for a cellphone photo class...
Interesting new findings about cellphone photography concerns...

Installed A Better Camera. Fcam came with the installation package - so, you'll need to restart the phone after installation.
The app allows users to define which camera to launch when shutter is opened (but need to restart each time you want to change settings). But it's not a problem if A Better Camera was truly A Great Camera.
Sad to say, application takes 3 seconds to launch after you open the shutter. Also file saving takes a few seconds as well. If these could be sped up, it would make it more usable and practical.
I haven't really tried playing with picture quality. Will update more when I have.
Edit: There's also no video option. Looks like the standard camera needs to stay.

Can we use the camera flash now? Even though it is not great, it is better than nothing in most cases.
This is one reason I don't use Bless n900.
And if it is still slow, I will rather use standard camera, as it takes gorgeous photos already.

Also, you can use 'standard' mode if you wish to take an image as with the standard camera, but with no exiting A Better Camera and launching the standard application.

I'm using lens-cover launcher to be able to select what application I want to launch, would it have any undesired effect with A Better Camera?

I bought the app to support the developers. For me it's good; however I would like having a button to call the stock application, to shoot a video if needed; or, better, a native video option for the app. Thanks

I am having a bug with "a better camera".
When shooting an HD photo at zoom > 1, instead of the usual 4 photos I get a full circle of several (20? 30?) photos, and the program immediately crashes.
In similar conditions, BlessN900 shows fewer photos and doesn't crash.
I'm running kernel-power-46, btw.
When I try to remove abettercamera there are problems:
