[Camera App] Background Defocus - no root needed!

Ambroos · Jan 15, 2014

Hello guys!

I modified the deodexed Background Defocus app to make it installable on phones that aren't rooted.

Enjoy!

You might get an occasional UI bug but that's not fixable for now. App should still work fine and I've only encountered it once so far.

Just download and install like any APK:

Working for me, even though rooted, :thumbup:

Only thing is after taking a photo, and applying the effect, doesn't go back to take another.? Weird. I have to exit out and start again.

EDIT: found another way, change resolution..

Works fine on my rooted Z. (Running stock 4.3)

You do seem to have to choose your subject carefully, as it does fail a few times.

Try to make sure your subject is away from the background, and keep the camera steady.

This one took me 3 attempts

Cup is approximately 30cm from background, I was about 50 cm away.

Really? Is it that hard?
I took this with one attempt and worked perfectly.

The interesting finding is that if you use this mode to capture, the picture is much sharper and file is slightly bigger.

Perhaps you have really steady hands!
