14 DAY TRIAL // When made available, the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system came with various enhancements, including some related to the camera on the devices.
The application was released with a new interface, along with simplified controls and fast switching between the back and front cameras, among others.
The official Camera app in Ice Cream Sandwich has been extracted and made available for download on other devices as well.
Today, the application is available for download via the Android Market with support for devices running under Google’s Android Froyo and Gingerbread platforms, as well as with support for Honeycomb (Android 3.0) tablets.
The application comes from Moblynx, who repackaged it from Ice Cream Sandwich, and who is also promising updates and enhancements for it.
The latest flavor of the app came along with configurable volume keys, various bug fixes, and Intel x86 support.
The features list of this Camera app includes:
- Color effects (mono,sepia,negative,...) - Silent mode (no shutter sound, might not work on some devices) - Picture quality setting (low/medium/high/ultra) - Video bitrate selection (normal/2x) - Video stabilization on/off (only 4.0) - 720p face effects (only 4.0) - Panorama mode and time-lapse video on Honeycomb tablets
The application is available for download via the Android Market and is free. However, users should know that it is ad-supported software.
In addition to this free Camera ICS app flavor, the developer also made it available as paid software, which is only $0.99 at the moment, and which does not feature the same ads as the free application.
The team is committed to upgrade both application releases with new features, so that users could benefit from the same functionality regardless of whether they go for the ad-supported app or not.
Those who would like to try out the Camera ICS app on their Android devices should head over to the Android Market today to download it. The free version is available via this link, while the paid app can be found on this page.
