Open Camera notes
Version 1.42.2 (2017/12/30)
Premium
FIXED Fixed some crashes.
FIXED Problems with alignment of some dialogs in portrait mode on some devices (possibly an
Android 8 issue).
ADDED On-screen face icon displayed when face detection is enabled.
UPDATED Enable 60fps on Android 7+ for GUI rendering.
Version 1.42.1 (2017/12/10)
FIXED Crash related to front camera fake flash on devices with auto focus and Camera2 API.
FIXED Possible fix for boot loop on LineageOS (this is a LineageOS bug exposed by using Android
Studio 3; workaround is to upgrade to build tools 27.0.1).
FIXED Change in 1.42 for using suffix "_0" etc instead of "_EXP0" etc was only done for HDR expo
images; now done for Expo {} photo mode too.
FIXED Text style "Plain text" for "Stamp photos" was still showing a shadow effect.
FIXED Workaround for Google bug where crash can be reported if application is open when it's being
updated ( issuetracker.google.com/issues/36972466#comment14 ).
UPDATED Now targetting Android 8.
UPDATED New adaptive icon for Android 8 (thanks to Adam Lapinski).
UPDATED Improve Camera2 quality for Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge (set EDGE_MODE_OFF and
NOISE_REDUCTION_MODE_OFF).
UPDATED Updated Norwegian Bokmål translation (thanks to Imre Kristoffer Eilertsen).
UPDATED Updated Polish translation (thanks to Jacek Buczyński).
Version 1.42 (2017/11/19)
FIXED Fixed some crashes.
FIXED Bug since 1.41 where if camera failed to open, it wasn't possible to switch to other
cameras.
ADDED Application shortcuts (requires Android 7.1).
ADDED Face detection now supports accessibility services (e.g., if using Google Talkback,
information on the number and position of detected faces will be spoken).
ADDED Link to GPL on About dialog.
UPDATED Expo images (either in "Expo {}" photo mode, or HDR when "Save all images for HDR mode" is
selected) are now saved with suffix "_0" etc, instead of "_EXP0" etc. This means Google
Photos knows to group the images together.
UPDATED Performance improvements.
UPDATED "Show angle" no longer enabled by default.
